backdated to a few hours after the start of the pogemon jaunt

[highsteaks]

Oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap

[Chie sounds pretty damn freaked out.]

Guys? Guys? Yosuke just got eaten by the wall and I think he's a real Pogemon now. He says he's named Yowlet and I think he just did some partner bond thing at me and the wall ate him.

[leftbehindagain]

The... wall ate him?

[highsteaks]

Yeah! It just swallowed him up, so I portaled out so I wouldn't get eaten too and then a Pogemon just like him showed up in the alley.

He was trying to stop being a Pogemon.

[leftbehindagain]

...Well, it's better than the floor eating him, I guess.

A while before you showed up, Armin-san managed to infiltrate himself in the middle of a jaunt. I want to say Ambrose-san might've done the same thing in January? I know Daneel-san said he disappeared, anyway. Hanamura might have figured that out without knowing it.

[highsteaks]

Ugggggh. That dumbass. I swear, I'd kick him like a soccer ball if he wasn't so adorable.

[Way to ruin their special all Inaba Investigation, Yosuke.]

[leftbehindagain]

I could try to jog his memory, if you want.

[highsteaks]

Wait, you can do that?

[leftbehindagain]

I think so. I mean, I couldn't the last time it came up, but that was a while ago.

[Also it would've felt weird trying that for someone he doesn't know.]

[highsteaks]

Then sure. Try, if you want. Do you want to meet up somewhere?

[leftbehindagain]

We could.

The other question is whether it'd solve his original problem. If he's still stuck shaped like a bird for the rest of the month...

[highsteaks]

.... oh.

Damn it, you're right.

[leftbehindagain]

I could almost certainly get him back to himself mentally. Physically... is probably beyond me. It may be beyond all of us.

So I guess the question is whether it's worth the bother of trying, given how upset he was about it.

[highsteaks]

... ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. This is so annoying.

[leftbehindagain]

I know.

Do you think he'd be more upset if we don't try and he finds out we considered it afterward, or we do, and he's still stuck as a bird?

[highsteaks]

I dunno.

[leftbehindagain]

It may be better to leave him. If nothing else, you suddenly having two birds, if we can't get him human again, would probably just confuse people. And the new bird.

[highsteaks]

You're probably right.

I guess we can apologize to him after.




... hey, this means we can scritch his head all the time.

[leftbehindagain]

You can, if you want. It'd just be weird if I did it.

[highsteaks]

I will.

And so will Souji, probably. I know he wants to.

[shiroganeheir]

[Naoto sounds a bit worried.]

Could you define 'eaten by a wall', Senpai?

[highsteaks]

He was concentrating on being human again and it sort of really quickly bulged out and pulled him in.

[fridgeninja]

Was the wall violet and gold?

[highsteaks]

I wish. Electric blue and orange and zebra-striped.

[fridgeninja]

Oh.

Was it a wall in Liminal Space?

[highsteaks]

Yeah.

Liminal Space looks pretty terrible, actually.

[fridgeninja]

I think I know what happened to Yosuke.

[highsteaks]

You do?

... also, he's good to be head-scritched now. If you still wanna do that.

[fridgeninja]

Since he's still going to remember this later, I'd rather not make things awkward.

[highsteaks]

... I've already headscritched him, so it'll be awkward anyway?

cold, Souji. cold.

[fridgeninja]

Not for me.

jerk

[highsteaks]

Right. You're just a stealth sleep head-skritcher.

[fridgeninja]

Yes.

[senpaidol]

It figures as soon as we're all Investigating, something TV World-level weird happens and changes that...

[highsteaks]

I know.

Stupid Yosuke! Ugh.

[senpaidol]

Honestly, I'm gonna blame this one on Liminal Space. Yosuke-senpai does plenty of stuff that's directly his fault without us blaming him for accidents, too.

[highsteaks]

... okay, fine. [She still thinks it's a little Yosuke's fault, though.]
