(video) a lil game moment

[invinciblemikey]

(manjiro comes into the camera, wearing his gang uniform with the words 'president' stitched, loud and proud. he sighs a little, but there's a smile on his lips before he speaks.)

I ain't into being strangers. Let's talk about ourselves with a single word and go from there. I'll start.

Motocyclist.

Of course. The upper members of the Manji are all my close friends.

(so, the vice president, captains, vice-captains.)

[izanagis]

You want to keep the group together? I can understand that.

[invinciblemikey]

We are not all in the same school. It's more like-- being with them would make it less boring. Either way, not important, I don't think school is a priority right now.

[izanagis]

That's true, I think.

[Yasogami had been much more lively with friends, too. He frowns a bit at that last point -- Mikey probably means back home, but it's hard to overlook the obvious,] Certainly not with all of us being here, at least.

[invinciblemikey]

Or, like, ever.

(but yeh, sure, nerd.)

What's good here, anyway?

[izanagis]

It's nowhere near as lively as Tokyo.

[A knowing look. He's a city boy too, after all.]

The beach is nice, though. Some people have set up activity clubs in town, and there's a few businesses, too.

[invinciblemikey]

... Activity clubs? Like what?

[izanagis]

Cooking, sewing... there's a club for teens with "unusual abilities," too.

[his expression indicates that he knows it sounds pretty wild]

[invinciblemikey]

... Like you?

(he's still thinking about that persona thing, sir.)

[izanagis]

[Ah, you caught him.] Yeah, like me.

[At least he finally figured out how to get them working again.]

[invinciblemikey]

So there are others like you. That's interesting. As far as I know, that kinda shit don't exist where I'm from, none of it.

(AS FAR AS HE KNOWS BEING THE KEY POINT.)

[izanagis]

It's not supposed to exist where I'm from, either. We all kept it secret because no one would believe us.

[Pro tip: don't tell your detective uncle that you're going into the TV to stop a murder by fighting shadow monsters with brain demons. It's not going to end well.]

[invinciblemikey]

Supposed to doesn't mean it doesn't, right? Just means that before it, you could have said the same thing as I did...

(tho... nothing about yu, it's just mikey's body realizing that he's done eating... he's starting to look real drowsy... he might literally sleep on this table, like he does EVERY TIME HE EATS.)

[izanagis]

You're probably right.

[Wow, why are all his friends such sleepy bitches? He tilts his head a bit.]

Is it past your bedtime?

[invinciblemikey]

(sorry, yu, he gives very little shits, he'll push things around so he can use his forearms as pillows... and rest against it.)

Food makes me sleepy, sleep-- hungry.

[izanagis]

[That...that makes sense, weirdly. He nudges Mikey a bit, pushing his chair out from the table.]

C'mon. Where are you staying? It's probably more comfortable than the table.

[invinciblemikey]

... ZzzzZzzz...

(good luck, yu.)

[izanagis]

[He passed out, right there on the table...

Yu...still doesn't know where he lives...

...

He goes to the counter, pays for a coffee and the cookie Mikey requested before (... with extra tip, for taking up the table this long), and picks out a book from the communal shelf near the register. It's not like he's just going to leave him there alone.]

[invinciblemikey]

(it takes a good half an hour for him to wake up - a half of hour of very petty arguments that he sleeptalks ('kenchin, why did you-- wake me up so early--', 'we should run before they realize you burned down their car, baji...', 'emma.... sunny side up....'), along with little snores. when he does wake, the first thing he sees is cookie... he's so happy that he doesn't even say anything else, he just bites it, eating hands free, just his teeth like a hamster.

finally, words come between his teeth...)

... ZZZz.z... Hey.

[izanagis]

[Aha, movement.]

Hey. Nice nap?

[A little smile. He points at the people at the counter, one of whom keeps throwing annoyed glances at them.]

I think they're gonna throw us out if we take the table much longer. We should go.

[invinciblemikey]

I'd like to see them try, but-- fine. I should get going, too.

(check to see if takemichi hasn't made a pandemonium of their room. that boy is not tidy. the lazy movement as he leaves is followed by a stretch, he's still super drowsy, but he'll live. the cookie is nice, though.)

[izanagis]

Right. You're a force of nature.

[But the fact remains that they both have stuff to do, of course -- Yu has a lot to think about, too. He follows Mikey out, offering a small wave to the workers as they go.]

[invinciblemikey]

(better recognize--

alas. the inn at least isn't so far, but it will take a while to reach because mikey is walking as if sleep was moving his legs. at least halfway, he is much more awake, but they're pretty much there already. once they are, he gives himself a little hop as if he was ready to say their goodbyes.

but i'm sorry, yu. mikey's extremely bendy, so the back of his ankle hits yu's shoulder with the strength of a gazillion spartans and the full force of the sun, so he comes down to level with mikey's height. he'll keep his ankle there, for pressure, unwilling to give permission for the other to move-- and he presses a peck to yu's lips, as a means to say 'thank you'.)

Not a bad date. Congratulations, nerd.

1/3 LMAOOO

[izanagis]

[Yu doesn't really mind the walk -- it gives him some time to think about everything they talked about. The sentencing, Adachi, the very nature of this place... It's a lot. So he's about to say goodbye to Mikey at the inn when--

urk! For a second he deadass thinks the guy is about to attack, and he's mentally trying to figure out which Persona to call on first, and then--

... ... ... ?!]
