[not even wild cards who may or may not share Personas. and-- okay, Yu comparing their fight with Elios's ice monsters as "going into a dungeon" gets a light laugh from Akira]
Fair enough. But then the question turns into, have you actually gotten a good night's rest since then?
[He misses the cats from Inaba...who had somehow all ended up on Dojima's rooftop. At that question, however, there's a pause before he speaks, weighing his options.]
That's...something we should talk about over food because it's going to take a long time explaining. It involves how we all ended up with Personas as well.
I've been carving melons for him and giving some of the money I'm earning from the little jobs and tasks. He really seems to appreciate it. [Yu says it with such normality like, yeap just gonna carve up some melons #meloncarving.] I figured it was something he liked, since there were so much of them in the cold room...
[Although...]
...but don't give him sushi. He went off in a daze and mentioned something about banana ramen too...
[Yu would meet him outside the spa, since unlike Akira, he is still living in a room upstairs due to lack of other people he knew. It was more lively this way.]
[To the kitchen they go! There's not much space for Akira to sit, but Yu's brought him a chair while he works. As he begins to cut some vegetables for his mise-en-place he starts to speak.]
I don't know how it was for your team, but for us it all began with a rumor that had been spread around Inaba.
If you watched your television screen [uh...] turned off [whaaa], at midnight [???], when its raining [laying it on thick] alone [...sounds like a typical high school twist on catoptromancy] you'd see someone else starring back at you that was supposed to be your schoolmate.
Not really, but I was curious. And Chie made us promise to try it out that night since it was supposed to rain...
[He stops long enough to look back at him.]
And it was all true. I saw someone - later we realized the victims of the midnight channel before they died...it was the first time I heard Izanagi's voice speaking to me. After I saw the image I reached out to the TV and...realized I could put my hand through it.
[He looks back at him, nodding briefly.] I'm not surprised. [Wildcard life is full of surprises.]
The next day I told Chie and Yosuke. I should have mentioned...they were the first two people who befriended me at the school.
[He can't help but smile then.]
They didn't believe me of course. But Yosuke's father is the manager at the Junes branch in Inaba. [You know, Persona WalMart] So we visited the electronics department. I stuck my hand in again. And then...we all fell in.
A place we'd later find out is called the TV world. Imagine falling into an area that looks like a stage, but with so much fog you can't see in front of you.
[imagine walking to school and suddenly winding up at a castle, is the phrase with which he wants to quip back, but he holds onto that for now. his story will come later]
And the TV world is where you awakened into the power of the Persona, right?
[wild card life means he knows exactly where this is going]

[Not that he knows Akira has one here. Just that if he knows the Arcana...]
no subject
Date: 2017-07-03 05:58 am (UTC)Yeah. I was curious, after seeing you summon him in battle.
[that said, it's time to get to the real reason he's calling]
You're not too run down after that fight, are you?
no subject
Date: 2017-07-03 06:02 am (UTC)[He crosses his arms, not that the other can see it.]
Nothing a good night's rest can't fix. It's like going inside a dungeon.

Slept like a rock. I still tend to wake up at midnight, but I think that's just a force of habit. What about you?
no subject
Date: 2017-07-03 06:39 pm (UTC)I miss my cat.
[what does that have to do with sleeping]
But I managed to get a good night's rest without him. [and now, the real question] Why do you wake up at midnight?

You're paying, though.

Date: 2017-07-03 09:31 pm (UTC)I'll provide the food. I'm open to requests.

[That part is still confusing.]

Date: 2017-07-03 10:03 pm (UTC)Banana. . . ramen?
[sounds like something Ryuji would be offended by]
no subject
Date: 2017-07-03 10:05 pm (UTC)I didn't have the heart to ask him.
[After the sushi faux-pas it's best not to.]
I promise I won't make that for tonight either.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-03 10:40 pm (UTC)Don't make it ever, not just tonight. I can already hear Ryuji graoning and ranting about how it's a blight on ramen everywhere.
---> Also Action here I guess
Date: 2017-07-04 12:04 am (UTC)[MOVING ON.]
I'll make something with less fruit inside.

Date: 2017-07-04 02:25 am (UTC)[at any rate! he makes his way towards the spa while he talks, keeping his eyes peeled for Yu's arrival]

Date: 2017-07-04 02:31 am (UTC)Good evening.
[He seems more serious than usual.]
I figured it would be best to talk while I cook.
[It makes it easier for him.]

Date: 2017-07-04 10:55 pm (UTC)[it isn't exactly the same. but it's similar, only replace the television with a phone app]
Surprisingly, it's not the weirdest story I've heard. [he says with a small, lopsided smile] Keep going.
