Oh, I don't know. I think the user name is quite amusing, Kanji.

Even if I do go by myself, I shall be perfectly fine. You do not have to worry about me.

Shut up. [Not that he's actually all that upset. It's Naoto. If he tried, it wouldn't last.]

Who said I was worried about you? Not... you know, exactly. But you're such a stubborn asshole you won't actually admit you want company, so there's fine and then there's 'not really fine but faking it.' Sounds like they got enough people doing that.

Besides, this is you. It'll take you five seconds to start solving a mystery and get your ass handed to you by one of those Artifact things.

Do you truly want me to shut up, Kanji? [She smirks at him, a tiny, knowing smirk.]

I believe that is a sort of worry, if I am not mistaken. I have taken care of myself in plenty of mysteries before, and I will again. I will be fine.

If I did I wouldn't bother talking to you.

Maybe you will, but maybe I'd still like to be able to have your back. You ever think about that?

I know. Am I not allowed to tease you? If I am not, we might have to re-assess a few things.

[There's that smile again.]

And perhaps I would like to be able to have your back as well. I do not mind. Most of the time.

Did I say that?

[That is totally not a doofy grin what are you talking about KANJI HAS A REPUTATION TO MAINTAIN HERE.]

Like I'm gonna turn down backup now that I, you know. Have it at all.

Well, perhaps your mun will allow you to come join me in America.

[She would never accuse him of being anything except big and scary. Especially not doofy.]

We'll see. Don't want you floundering on your own, anyway.

[Of course not. Because Naoto's smart like that.]

'That place', son of man?

...I should be glad my mundane lacks a sense of humor. It means she lacks the 'insight' necessary to create these supposedly amusing names.

Buttfuck nowhere, South Dakota. Mun-san's words, not mine. And they'd kick your ass even faster than we did.

[No really seriously. Izanami would probably find herself bronzed in VERY short order.]

Something about all the good ones being taken, is her excuse.

Hmph. I find that a little hard to believe. Although now my Mundane seems intrigued to know the details...

I imagine the actual reason was to watch you get ruffled up over it.

These guys. They'd probably slap you in a statue inside of five minutes. Goes double if you tried another of your damn social experiments.

Ain't that why they do half this shit?

[Her tone turns icy. It was horrible enough being trapped in the underworld by her 'loving' husband.]

If they so much as tried, they would feel my wrath.

Probably. The Mundanes are...interesting, at least.

Edited 2014-07-22 18:09 (UTC)

Somehow I think they'd be up for the challenge. [Yeah, okay, being a statue doesn't sound like much fun and proooooobably would do the opposite of helping, regarding Izanami's mental state. It tends to not help people. But Kanji's sure they could handle her anyway.]

Somethin' like that, yeah.

[No one wants to see Izanami's mental state get any worse, really.]

So what exactly is your definition of 'messed up shit', in this case? I'm curious.

[Well then she'd have to play nice. Presumably she can at least still fake it.]

Mun-san knows that universe really damn well. She says... anything from a ferret-producing kettle to dodgeballs that'll beat you to death, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. So like I said, messed-up shit.

Apparently I missed the thing that turned people into cats. Thank fuck.

Mun's have a strange sense of humor, chica. [We're not going to discuss the fact that his username was once theundieboss, the less people know about his past, the better. It's all Michael now.]

Hell yeah you tell your mun! Make sure they get the message, cause you ain't a real man if you don't back up friend, right? It's part of the bro code!

[*Bro code may have been made up ©1999 by Eikichi Mishina. All rights reserved.]

Gettin' that feeling - hey, who you callin' chica? [Kanji may not know Spanish, but he's got mun osmosis on his side right now.]

Well, yeah. Besides, it's Naoto. 'course I'm gonna back up Naoto.

Well, there's no one else in the room, is there? [Wink.]

That's the spirit! Back 'em up until your last breath!

There ain't any girls in here. [Kanji has nothing against girls! Chie-senpai would kick his ass if he did. But he's not a girl.

That was never the point of contention.]

Exactly.

Right, right, I've noticed that already. Just two dudes talkin' about protecting their friends. [The hell is wrong with this guy, seriously. Maybe if Eikichi actually knew what chica meant instead of throwing it around it would help--] But I don't see what this has to do with anything, babe. [--wait never mind, that's somehow worse.]

You're not helping.

Helping what?

[No one in his school ever protested, so he doesn't see the problem.]

I thought you were going there to help your friend, not me!

[Kanji sighs.] You know what, never mind.

I feel like I'm not getting the full picture, babe. [But okay, whatever, he's not gonna push this. There are far more interesting questions to ask.] So you guys gonna keep your Persona powers there or what?

[Excellent subject chang--wait what?]

Dunno yet. Mun-san and Naoto's are still trying to figure that out - good news is they have some say in the matter. In theory you keep your powers and shit, but in practice it's a world with no native magic and we probably couldn't get inside a TV anyway. [Maybe Senpai could, if he turned up, but would there even be anything there?]

Ain't the end of the world if we don't, though. We'll still know we can do it.

Ha ha! Man, you really sound pumped up about this thing! Well, those that can use Persona are people of strong will anyway, so powers or not, we're still able to pull out weight, right?

...but what does this have to do with TVs?

...Everything? That's. Where we used 'em?

[What.]

What.

[Yes, thank you.]

That's weird. So how'd that work? You guys ended up on TV shows or somethin'? Did someone start a rumor and that's how it happened? How would the Velvet Room work in that world?

Not... on TV shows, exactly. More like tossed into a TV and having to deal from there.

The Velvet... [Kanji looks incredibly puzzled, but then he gets it.] Oh, right, that thing. You'd have to ask Senpai. He was really the only one who messed with it.

Ehhh? So there's a world behind TVs? That's...[Can he really say anything after his city turned into a spaceship, probably not.]...different.

[But the part about the Velvet Room does confuse him.]

That's...odd. I thought all Persona users got to chat up with Igor. How the hell are you supposed to switch your Persona around otherwise?

More like a social experiment on the part of a seriously crazy-ass goddess. I guess the TVs were convenient, or something.

Switch? That was Senpai's thing. None of the rest of us did. They changed after a while, but they didn't switch.

Social Experiment...

[He knew all about that. He knew how those went, with Philemon and Nyarlathotep betting about humanity's evolution, and how that had ended up with the--no. He shouldn't think about that here.]

Tch. Seems like that tends to happen a lot.

So why's it always fall to a pack of teenagers to figure it out?

[He flinches lightly at that comment.]

W-well, Yukino was an adult and a Persona user, and so was B-big Sis...Jun, Ta-chan, Lisa and me where the only teens on board.

[Kanji nods in acknowledgement of the raw nerve, but doesn't say anything else about it.]

No adults in our thing. Just a bunch of high schoolers trying to solve a murder case.

[A lot more flinching, and now stuttering? Where's that cool, in control personality of a few minutes ago?]

A-ahhh. I see. S-sounds like it was fun?!

[He seriously wasn't sure how he should answer that. Or even talk about his own experience.]

Parts of it. Other parts sucked ass.

But I wouldn't have met Naoto otherwise.

T-that's great. Friends are important...

...hey make sure you take care of 'em, okay?

Figured that went without saying, now that I have 'em.

Yeah. That's good.

[And he prays to the gods that you never had to do the ultimate sacrifice that plagued his own.]
