early casino Liminal, filtered to Naoto and Yosuke's close CR

[leftbehindagain]

[Naoki is getting really, really tired of having to do this - but the relevant people deserve a heads-up, and he's not going to wait any longer than he has to.]

I can't find Naoto or Hanamura.

Comments

[vrepit_no]

......Thank you for telling me. I appreciate it. [Shiro's tired. Just... Tired.] If I find a dungeon, I'll let you know.

[leftbehindagain]

Likewise.

[rustyhonesty]

... I was hoping it would just be my overwhelming amount of pogebonds blocking the True Bonds. Shit.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh shit. I can't feel her. You're right.

[seasoflight]

Oh... oh.

...I'll keep an eye out for him.

My thanks.

[truerevelation]

...shit.

[That's possibly the quietest expletive that's ever come from Kanji, but still.]

Yeah.

[highsteaks]

I know!

[She sounds... pretty messed up.]

... I haven't been able to feel him since Mars.

[leftbehindagain]

I'm not sure one would cancel out the other like that, unfortunately.

[leftbehindagain]

I'm getting really tired of this.

[leftbehindagain]

We will be too.

[leftbehindagain]

We'll just have to go get them when they turn up.

[leftbehindagain]

I know he made it there. He was the bartender for once.

[truerevelation]

Yeah. When.

[If he can't even manage to shout...]

[leftbehindagain]

Yeah.

I'll be back in Aiya soon.

[rustyhonesty]

If only.

I will definitely come with you when the time comes.

[leftbehindagain]

Thanks.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. Me too.

[leftbehindagain]

We'll just have to go get her when she comes back.

[There's not room for 'if,' right now. Not unless he wants to help kick Kanji into a dungeon of his own, and he really doesn't.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh fuck yes. I've gone in for her before, I can do it again.

[leftbehindagain]

I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

[highsteaks]

... wait, he stole your job?

[leftbehindagain]

Considering I didn't infiltrate in the first place, I wouldn't call it stealing.

[highsteaks]

Him being the bartender is probably why you didn't.

[leftbehindagain]

There was more than one saloon. I doubt it was the only reason. [A factor, maybe, but Naoki wouldn't call it the deciding one.]

[highsteaks]

Maybe.



... it's just us now. The rescue team. That's... really weird to think about.

[leftbehindagain]

It is, isn't it.

[highsteaks]

It's never been just us. There's always been some IT guys around, right?

[leftbehindagain]

Usually from multiple timelines at once. This was the third Hanamura I met here, and you missed Yua and Adachi-san entirely.

[highsteaks]

Holy crap. That's way too many Yosukes.

[leftbehindagain]

Isn't it?
