return of the carnivore

[highsteaks]

[As soon as her dungeon was over, the very first thing Chie did was go home to the Aiya and sleep for a week. Well, technically a little more than a week. Sure, she got up to use the bathroom and shove meat into her stomach, but having a dungeon form around you like that? Super exhausting.

But given that she was finally able to stay awake consistently finally, Chie figured she... probably should tell everyone she was better.]

Uh. Hi. This is Chie? I've been asleep. Dungeon crap.

It doesn't look like we're on Jaunt yet, so that's good, unless I slept a really long time and missed the Jaunt, but I kind of hope I'd know that. Does anybody have any clue about where we're going or who's doing it or any of that? I mean, depending on what stuff's in Liminal Space now.

Yosuke, if you can hear this, I've got something you might be interested in. Well, I think Kanji's still carrying it, but it's still mine? Just, you know, don't break it again. I can still kick you, you know.

[Privated to Malik and Lupa:]

Ugh. I'm so sorry about what I let Dungeon Red do to you when she was in me. That was... well, it was really gross. But. Um. You really were getting close to getting to me inside her. Just, when Kanji picked up the Treasure, she knew she had to finish the fight hard and fast, no matter how much she was enjoying fighting for the sake of fighting, so she did that to you.

Now that you've had time to think about it, if you've decided you two actually do hate me, I won't blame you.

I could never hate you.

Request that you help me fix my arm when the jaunt is over, yes.

But not hate.

Re: [private]

[highsteaks]

Oh Dai Malik...

Thank you. I'm not sure how to fix arms, but I guess you can show me.

Re: [private]

[loyalrebel]

I can show you, it is not overly difficult. Just tedious.

Just... Maybe do not wear a red shirt? I do not know how I will react yet.

Re: [private]

[highsteaks]

Can do. Most of my stuff is still green? It's my favorite color even if it's not my magic.

Red was always Yukiko's color, anyway...

[leftbehindagain]

You sound a lot better.

[highsteaks]

I feel better. I think.

[leftbehindagain]

I'm glad.

You haven't missed the jaunt - only barely, I think, but it hasn't started yet. I haven't heard any speculation about who's competing, but the new guys seem to have their own personal sunbeams this time. As for what's happening, almost certainly some kind of art. Everything in Liminal proper is art supplies.

[highsteaks]

[Welp, time to act as Sunny as she can, Chie guesses.]

Oh man, I'm not that great at art.

[leftbehindagain]

[He figured she'd take that hint and run with it.]

Me either. Kanji'll be just fine, though.

[rebellioninbloom]

Oh, you are awake! I'd wondered... but I'm so glad to know you're feeling better. I'll have to stop by.

[highsteaks]

Haru-chan! Please do! I'll make sure Kanji's left some food for us and we can go out to the garden and talk and stuff.

[rebellioninbloom]

That would be lovely. Thank you.
...it seems we might have a lot to talk about.

[highsteaks]

... yeah. I think we do.

[notadisappointment]

Trial of the Dragon?

Good to have you back, Chie.

[highsteaks]

Yeah. But a special copy from my dungeon. It unbroke after we beat up Thought Red.

[notadisappointment]

That's neat. Maybe I'll watch it at some point... but I'll be super careful this time.

Speaking of kicking my ass. I was Wulfenite again and this time I kept his Hecatite form. If you want to kick his ass...

[highsteaks]

Can I?

Thanks, Yosuke. That means a lot to me.

[senpaidol]

Senpai! You're okay!

...you are okay, right? Do you need anything? It sounds like this was a major one and I know I was out for like a month when that happened to me...

[highsteaks]

Yeah, actually. I think I'm doing better than I've been for a long while.

And, uh, my Persona changed.

[senpaidol]

Well, that makes sense. You have Suzuka Gongen back again?

[highsteaks]

No, actually. Her name is Tiamat, now. She's a dragon.

[breakaleginhalf]

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.

[Being screamed at because it turns out the girls can see through the Mask now is still not the worst reaction to it he's ever had.]

[highsteaks]

Sorry about freaking out on you, Gil. I didn't realize that was you right away.

[breakaleginhalf]

Still not the worst reaction I've ever gotten. Hopefully it'll be, like. Less weird now.

[highsteaks]

I mean, one of my teachers eats people. I think I'll get over you secretly being a beast monster thing.
