[For those who are in Goldenrod, you may notice that Yosuke is desperately trying to not let this whole situation get to him. He's glitched around the city -- and even out a couple of times briefly. But knowing that Souji's in the Ice Path again means he needs to keep an eye on the Breeding Centre. Which he's trying to do, since he can't keep track of anyone else with all this mess.]

[It's not helping that Yuu - the Rotom, and Matis - the Elekid are both teaming up to give him little shocks. Aren't his Pokémon just hilarious? By mid-afternoon, his hair is practically standing on ends, a new shirt slightly charred; and maybe just a bit drenched from Saki (the Golduck) using Water Pulse on him to dampen the smouldering clothing.]

[Simple as that may be, there's also the matter of THIS hovering behind him at times. Yosuke looks focused whenever this guy is present; he's testing the waters of being able to summon his Persona in Johto.]

[A while later, he'll flick the video feed on, with two specific agendas.]

Okay, first of all. Anyone who's supposed to be at the Centre, can you give me a heads up with where you are? All this moving around's making it kind of hard to keep track, especially with who's supposed to actually be working today. Just, um... let me know. So much for that day off, huh...

[Filtered to the Investigation Team.]

[He's a little more exasperated now.]

I know we're all spread out, but with all this weirdness, uh... so. Can anyone else summon their Personas? Rise kind of almost fell through the TV, so I checked, and...

[He puts the gear down and steps back, closing his eyes and drawing in a breath. A tarot card floats above his hand, and then... Look, guys! It's Susano-o! After a minute, his image disappears and Yosuke picks the gear back up.]

It's weird. Like really weird. But... it kinda feels good to be able to do that after so long. I just wanted to know if you guys could too, though.

[Offering kind of a weak smile before cutting the feed.]
