[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.]

... It won't be that easy.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[That... almost helps him realize the gravity of the situation.] ... Geez. Something pre-tty catastrophic must happen.

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[Sounds about time to change the subject.]

So~ The Cultural Festival, huh?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[Oh, me, you jerk.]

Yeah, yeah. You did it, too. [He's totally sulking.]

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Or did I?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

What?! Oh, come on! How is that fair?!

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Who said anything had to fair?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

I had to wear a skirt! On stage! With makeup done by Chie! I think it's not too much to ask that another me had to go through it, too!

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Dude, calm down. Just think, "Someone else out there must have had it worse than me."

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

That's easy for you to say, you didn't get your name put down to-- [Wait just a second.] Hey... how'd you get out of it, anyway?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Get out of it?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

The Cross-dressing pageant. Once your name's put down, you can't back out.

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Oh. That.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... You didn't get out of it! [He laughs a bit] I was beginning to wonder why the hell you had more luck than me if we're supposed to be each other.

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Nah, if anything, you are... definitely the luckier one. [Small chuckle.]

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He senses the mood change and frowns momentarily, but does his best to try for a lighter side to things.] What, did you break all the mirrors in Junes or something?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

I crashed.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The bike, right? But you're alive. And it's not like I don't crash every now and then.

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[... sigh.]

Would you believe me if I said I wasn't?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... Wait. You're not alive?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[... snrk.] As cool as it would be to be able to haunt people or something, no. Past tense.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Past t-... [He raises an eyebrow.] So before I assume you're a zombie version of me, do you want to explain yourself?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and assume you know who or what Izanagi is?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] Yeah, I do...

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[He spreads out his arms and smirks.]

Hi. How you doing?
