"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.]

Comments

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.]

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

[He laughs a bit too.] Right. The buddy system.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, too bad we don't have Teddie or Rise around. Where do we even start?

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

I thought I saw Teddie once, but... I think it was just my imagination. [Small headshake.] For now, just going forward might be our best bet.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. After you, leader. [He's definitely got his hand near his kunai. You can't be too careful when you're stuck somewhere strange...]

[possibilityzero.livejournal.com]

[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.
