"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.]

[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.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Like the whole evil twin thing a few times over? [His tone definitely implies that he's not buying it.]

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

Something like that. [He's not sure about the others, but if they knew about him... that's probably exactly what he'd be called.]

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... This has got to be a dream or something.

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

Want me to pinch you?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Not particularly, no. [Wary look! >|]

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[He just shrugs, possibly emphasizing the guitar he's got on his back since I forgot to mention it earlier.] Your loss.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

My loss that I'm not getting pinched? Right.

[He glances at the guitar.] ... So the other me carries that thing around?

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[Also glances toward it.] Yup. Guess I'm just more musically inclined than you.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Not like I have a lot of time to practice anymore, you know?

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

... no, actually?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... You sure you're me?

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

Must be one of those differences between us.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Lucky for you, then. I think I'd kill to have some free time.

[Nice word choice there, Yosuke.]

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[... he can't help it. A quiet snrk, and then he gives the other him a strange look.]

You sure about that? Three people are dead where I'm from.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[... Okay, now he feels guilty. He looks down at the ground, rubbing the back of his head.]

Yeah, okay. Bad phrasing.

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[For a moment, he looks like he almost finds that funny. Before the other Yosuke can look up however, it's gone.]

What were you talking about, though? What's been eating all your time?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Saving people? Working my ass off at Junes? [Uh, duh?]

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[You have got to be freakin' kidding.]

Saving people?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He just frowns.] ... You don't know about that?

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

The only 'saving' I know about is the kind people do at one of Junes' sales.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... Dude, no wonder you've got time to play guitar.

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

[Brow quirk.]

Uh-huh. What, are you some kind of volunteer somewhere?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Nah. If you don't know about it, it's probably for a reason. [He waves a hand dismissively.]

[fortehlawlz.livejournal.com]

H-hey... c'mon, you can tell me. I'm you, right?
