Back in the game

[notadisappointment]

Yosuke here. Naoki brought me back from my overlay and explained a bit on what's going on - at least anything he was able to. I don't have much to add, other than that I'll keep an eye on Thunder Mountain once I get back up there.

Also, it looks like Kanji's overlay is our current leader. Yasoinaba isn't very close to him or any of the other more "famous" stonefolk, but I'll try talking more with his great times twenty grandparents to see if they can tell me about the old days.

... and no, I don't know why my overlay's name is Yasoinaba.

One last thing can... someone go to liminal space and check on my Mothman? He gets terribly lonely and when he gets lonely he tends to cause trouble.

Mine's been keeping him company.

[Which probably isn't going to be a comfort to anyone else, but.]

[notadisappointment]

That's great! ... at least for the Mothmen. Not sure for anyone else there. Who knows if they're planning for world domination.

[seestheworld]

...Yeah.

Then again, I could see them getting bored with world domination if they did manage it, which... may still not be the best outcome, but...

[notadisappointment]

At least Liminal repairs itself if they start wrecking things... my Mothman has weakened with his abilities anyway, since I lost my Persona powers.

[seestheworld]

There is that... wait, what?

[When did that happen?]

[notadisappointment]

Oh, s-sorry. I never did get around to tell you about it.

[Well this is embarrassing.]

When I was back at home I sacrificed my ability to wield Personas to save the world. I guess Mothman stayed thanks to being linked to S. Tech.

[seestheworld]

[No. No, he had not. But that's really not something she's going to hold against him - she's not as close to him as the Inaba crew are, and he's probably been busy dealing with said loss of ability as well.]

Are you going to be okay?

[notadisappointment]

Yeah. Back home, I had a few months to deal with it. Here... well. I just need to learn alternative skills to survive.

[seestheworld]

There's no shortages of those to be learned, at least.

I don't have a lot outside of Liminal skills, but I'd be willing to teach you some things, if you want. I've still got a bunch of Grid skills as well, although I'm not sure how many of those you might already have.

[Or if he's even interested in learning them, which not everybody is.]

[notadisappointment]

Thank you, Minako-san. I think Chie's trying to get me into learning Color Magic, but I wouldn't mind learning some of the Grid skills or Liminal ones. ... though I can only make a portal and store things in Hammerspace right now.

[seestheworld]

Hey, you can build a lot off of those two skills. Basic Liminal manipulation, for one.

[notadisappointment]

Really? I though it was more complex than that... which is why I've continued honing my network skills instead.

[seestheworld]

The really complex ones tend to come after that. But yeah, with the skills you have already, you can start making things, and once you get the hang of that...

[notadisappointment]

A whole new list of possibilities opens up, right? I've seen some things people can do.

[seestheworld]

Pretty much!

[senpaidol]

I'm just counting myself lucky I'm not named Inaba myself. Apparently this place knows the difference between hares and rabbits, even if I didn't until I was one.

Nice talking to you at the festival, by the way.

[notadisappointment]

We only need one person named anything like Inaba. Though I'm not sure if Slate is any better on Souji. Oh, he's my brother this time.

Haha... thanks for being so nice to him. He's a good kid. ... Man I tend to say that a lot about my overlays.
