"Go then. There are other worlds than these..."

[Enter Yosuke, seemingly mid-jump when he appears. He stands up, looks around... and frowns.]

Thiiiis isn't the usual spot. What gives? We used the same TV as always, I know we did.

Wait. ... Where did everybody go? [Cue frantic looking about.]

[... not ANOTHER one.]

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He spots this Yosuke, and double-takes.] What--. Bu-.

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

Welcome, to the craziest place not-on-Earth.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

And what the heck is that supposed to mean?

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

It means you're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Alright then, Mr. Wizard, where am I?

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[Slight, humorless chuckle.] I have no clue. I just know there are other versions of... us... around, and we all seem pretty different from each other.

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

My guess is that they're probably wherever you left them.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

You say that like I was the first to go in-- [And he sees who he's talking to.]

... What the--!?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

... I was speaking relatively. [Shrug.]

Yeah. Uh... hi?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, hi. Who are you, and why do you look like me?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

I'm not your Shadow, before you even get that far. ... I am you, though. Apparently. This is some sort of... multiple times, different outcomes thing.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Hold on. You're me, but you're not my Shadow? How does that one work? [He has no comment on the multiple times bit. He's still confused.]

and a special guest appearance by...!!

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Yosuke? You're here, too?

one of these things is not like the other?!

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[Sigh of relief!] Good. For a minute there, I was worried we'd somehow split up.

one of these things just doesn't belong!

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

About that... [Err.] We're... still split up from the others.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Oh man, that's not good. We've got to go look for them.

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It'll go faster with two people, too.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Great! But, uh... let's not split up, too. That never ends well in the movies. [Attempt at a small laugh.]

[ineuphony]

You randomly appeared also?

[Flips page in her book.]

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I... guess I did. I was trying to go, er, somewhere else. ... I think.

... Who are you?

[ineuphony]

Maka Albarn. And you are?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

I'm Yosuke.

[... How in the heck do you ask someone if they were pushed into a TV without sounding psycho?]

How did... you... get here? You just appeared?

[ineuphony]

It's nice to meet you, Yosuke.

Ah--I was on my way to the kitchen and I ended up here. It's not really surprising though. It happens a lot.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, too.

Happens a lot? Just... randomly appearing in other places? ... Huh. How do you put up with that?
