Fourth Wall ☀ Video | Action for Goldenrod

[skillspanner]

[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.]

action!

[ snerk ]

Nice hair, Yosuke-kun.

action!

[skillspanner]

Ta-Takeba-san! [Shock! Surprise!!] I, uh... had no idea you were back.. ahaha...

[Laughing a little and ruffling said messy hair.]

[othersided]

What a drag. Hey, what did you say about a day off?

[She props her chin up on her hand; there's a glint of a brass ring on one finger and her nails are clearly cracked and untended.]

video;

[skillspanner]

[This is the color immediately draining from Yosuke's face. Pale, like a white sheet. His whole mouth is going dry in the space of a few seconds, and his hands tremble, causing the camera to shake.] Sen... Senpai?

[spearhands.livejournal.com]

[Just strolling in, la la la - not a care in the world.

When she sees Susano-o, her eyebrows rise fractionally.]

My. That's quite an impressive friend you have.

action;

[skillspanner]

Oh-! [His focus breaks, causing Susano-o to disappear for the moment. But that's okay, because a pretty girl walking in is always worth the distraction.]

Hehe, yeah, I guess. Definitely no Pokémon, I guess. [He shrugs his shoulders a bit, not sure if he can even begin to explain that to her. Instead, he will just fumble over his words and play salesman!] So, what brings you to the Centre today?

i just wanted an excuse to make yosuke hold his face

[shadelike.livejournal.com]

[Heels clicking as she walks down the hallway (trying to find the fucking door, ugh she's going to break a wall and just walk out that way), this lady is stepping into view during one of those times Yosuke is messing with his Persona.]

The fuck is that? [No, she doesn't look startled, but she's got a pair of twin swords in her hands and she looks raring to use them.]

i approve of this reasoning

[skillspanner]

[Well, that's good. If something stops her from breaking a wall, that's definitely good, because repairs are not fun. Of course, someone in his line of sight dual-wielding swords and seeing his Persona is not exactly good.]

Sh-shit! [Having not been prepared, Susano-o disappears from sight, and he holds his hands up.] It's... well, nothing, really! I, uh... ah.. haha...

[And the quicker he can shift the topic, the better.] Can I, um, help you with anything? Are you picking something up?

[became-death.livejournal.com]

[So, the breeding centre. For some reason, all the lights are out. It's late afternoon, so there's still dim light, enough to see by...

But who is this, walking slowly down the hallway?]

My, my...

[skillspanner]

[The shuffle of feet is enough to catch his attention; it's somehow an unfamiliar sound, especially when he hears the voice.]

He-hello? [He stands, making his way out of the main room and to the hallway.] Who's there?

[Action]

[isahero]

[When he actually catches him at the breeding center, anyway. Seeing as they're both kind of glitching all over the place, apparently.

This is America, just back from Ecruteak.

This is America, in a Chicken Suit.]

Hey! I uh, was here this morning at least? Things keep happening though.

[Everything is getting more and more confusing as the day goes on, Yosuke 8(]

[Action]

[skillspanner]

[Staring. In total disbelief.]

A-America-san? Dude, what--

[Action] [Aly see my fail 8(]

[suzakufeather]

[There's a few crashing noises as Yukiko appears out of thin air, and is kind of. Dropped onto the counter.

A Vulpix drops on her head, making her oomph, and an Arcanine comes crashing through the door a moment after, as though she's been here ages and it's hers.

Nothing makes sense. She'd been minding her own business at the Inn then suddenly whoosh-]

I hope there's an explanation for this...

[Action] /gathers up lovingly

[skillspanner]

[Okay, Pokémon bursting through doors and crashing sounds are enough to make Yosuke practically fly into the room.]

Is everyone oka-- Yukiko!?

[What. What when did Yukiko get here again WHAT IS GOING ON HELLO.]

ACTION; hiiiii queen aly. looong time

[ineuphony]

[and somewhere around yosuke, there is a frustrated maka kicking something. probably a building or something idk.]

Uuuughhhh!! This place is starting to piss me off! Where the hell am I?!

ACTION; omg hello IT HAS BEEN A WHILE /scoops up!

[skillspanner]

[Whipping his head around; he recognizes that voice -- he never really knew her that well, but she was there enough.] M-Maka-san?

action;

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Just... pardon her staring, but she's trying to work out what exactly that floaty thing is.}

action;

[skillspanner]

I-Ise-san! [In a fit of surprise and no real reason for him to be out, Susano-o disappears.]

[ece-emrys.livejournal.com]

[There's a muffled squeak coming from behind you, and you might see a small form darting behind the nearest piece of furniture if you turn around quick enough.]

[skillspanner]

[He hears the squeak, but only catches a slight movement from the corner of his eye.]

He-hey, uh...?

video;

[tarotcards]

Yeah, I can feel all of mine with me. Mada and Jack Frost seem to be stirring around.

[ Look at that smile on Souji's face. He's pretty happy about having his Personas back. ]

video;

[skillspanner]

[With the way things have been lately, Yosuke really can't remember the last time Souji looked so happy. He was pretty happy about it too, but not like that, he doesn't think. He can feel his cheeks flushing slightly.]

I was starting to think we'd never be able to again.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

Woah-- I never even thought of that!! [giiiive him a minute as heeee makes his way outside.]

[video]

[skillspanner]

Dude, I wouldn't have either but-- [Oh okay NOW HE'S WAITING SUP.]

[tessellate-me.livejournal.com]

[better move, yousuke. it's coming straight for your head at an astonishingly slow pace]

[skillspanner]

[What is that shadow above is hea--]

[OH SHIT IS THAT]

Oh come on, what the hell!?!

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ She sees Susano-o and just wonders what Yosuke is doing that for, in broad daylight, in a public place. No Shadows, either. ]

Whoa, Yosuke! People can see!

[ And the other... weird creatures. ]

[skillspanner]

[Dammit, Chie! Always breaking his concentration like that.] Wh-whoa...! Ch-Chie, when did you get back into town? [A pause.] Oh, I guess with all this craziness, you probably didn't have much control over it. Hopefully you don't end up stranding Kanji though, huh...

[kjdfhudf, basically.]
