on the announcement of the P4A sequel...

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[His mun is way, way too excited about the sequel news. And the upcoming movie too!!]

Heh, I knew it wasn’t all over! We’ve still got work to do! [Akihiko pounds his fist into his open palm.] Not sure who’s gonna fill in the last two slots, though. You mentioned maybe Minato? Makoto? [Whatever his name’s gonna be. Like Souji and Yu.] Ken's still in middle school, so he probably won't be able to make it. But Junpei and Yukari... Hell, it'll be just like old times.

[A small, sad smile suddenly plays over his lips.] Uh, I don’t think Shinji’s gonna be in this one… but it’s all right. I’m still fighting for both of us.

H-Hey! What do you mean, I’d better not be wearing hobo clothes?! My outfit before wasn’t that bad!

[Yes it was, Aki. Yes, it was.]

I hope so! I don't wanna think he's been back in Iwatodai this whole time, all alone.

Oh, yeah... She did call me right after I got off the plane. [The Kirijo Group probably has their own airport!]

Because apparently, my mun has seen videos of him smacking his opponents to the other side of the ring? You know, if you'd kept the spikes, you could have done way more damage, Junpei.

[stupei_iori]

If nothing else, I would've gladly adopted him. He's part of the family too, y'know?

[Have a big grin. ...Only to have it dashed at that last comment.]

Oh come on, senpai! Give a guy a chance! We haven't even seen what kind of awesomeness I can do in that game!

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Do we know where you went yet? America, or some place like that? [He nods in agreement.] For sure, man! I couldn't have taken him to the university, though... or South America.

[Oops, Akihiko sure knows how to put a damper on your mood.]

Whatever it is, man, it'd better be good! If you or Yukari have been slacking off during those two years, I'm gonna put both of you through the wringer!

[stupei_iori]

[He shrugs.] My mun thinks I was one of the first to volunteer for the Shadow Operatives. I mean, why would I pass up a chance to be part of a super cool secret black-ops thing?

[He pounds his chest.]

C'mon, it's me! I may slack off in studying, but when it comes to pounding Shadows, nobody puts more effort into it than me!

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Hah! You mean, after me! [Because come on, Akihiko was obviously the first one to jump on board as soon as Mitsuru formed the new group!] You know, with an attitude like that, you'd make a good FBI agent!

[And Akihiko is going to pound you in the shoulder! ...Gently. For him, anyway.]

Yeah, I know! We smashed Shadows together for a while before the others joined. I've seen how you fight, Junpei.

My mun's trying not to make a joke about you pounding Shadows... whatever that means.

[stupei_iori]

Me in the FBI? Nah, takes too much studying. If you hadn't noticed, I'm not all that great with books. I'm much more suited to being the muscle of the operation. ...Or maybe professional sports or something.

[Junpei is knocked sideways, rubbing his shoulder as he regains his balance.]

...Yeah, that might be good to avoid, senpai. [Snrk.]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

So, you're apparently a coach! Great job! You definitely have the energy to keep up with kids, man. You're gonna need it!

[oh you big baby it wasn't that bad]

What do you think about Yukari being an actress? Ken'll probably be excited to see her in his favorite show, huh?

[stupei_iori]

Yeah, I bet they give me a run for my money. And I'm sure I run 'em ragged too. [Grin.]

[Coming from Aki? It would've been.]

I think it fits her. I will say that her being a super hero type is rather surprising.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Pretty hard to do that with kids, man... I'm sure you're gonna run out of juice first.

[Would you like to see how a real punch feels, Junpei~?]

I guess so. She was always looking at those fashion magazines... Why not? Didn't you always wanna be a hero too, Junpei? Get recognized for all the things you've done?
