"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.]

[Just like old times, huh? Except... this isn't "old times", they've barely been in this a few months. Agh, Souji, stop confusing yourself. He nods and starts to lead the way, broadsword in hand.]

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[Following, of course.] Any idea how this happened?

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Not really. You were coming through the TV?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] Well, yeah. Weren't you?

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

No. I was on the bus, heading to work. [Babysitting. Whoo-hoo.]

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

What? ... But you went into the TV right before I did!

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

... yeah. Thus, it doesn't make sense.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Not at all. ... But then how--... [So confused!]

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's like... how people show up on the Midnight Channel before they're actually in the TV world somehow...

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[A pause, as he tries to let that process...] Iii'm not following.

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

... I don't know. It's just a thought. Time always works weird for the TV world, doesn't it?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but not so weird that it's bouncing between you going into the TV right before I did, and you off on a bus somewhere. ... Right?

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

I don't know. We don't know everything about it yet...

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

True. ... Wonder what made this time so different, though.

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Maybe we were getting close to something important.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

How so? Stroke of luck? We didn't go in with a clear goal this time, after all.

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Weirder things have happened.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true.

... Man, how big is this place, anyway?

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Huge. It gets weirder the further you go out.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Man... How long have you been here? [Even though he just saw you, what, moments ago back in Junes? Brain-break much?]

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

A week or two, I guess.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

That's crazy. I swear, I just saw you, too!

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

[imaginary scribbly lines above his head]

This is confusing...

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[If you smell something burning, it's Yosuke's brain short-circuiting. Pay it no mind.]

You got that right. [Sigh]

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

Let's just keep looking around for now.
