Now I face out, I hold out

Who: Yu and you!
Where: Libra Ward, in the streets
When: Any day (except Saturdays) during the night and into the 13th Hour, before the Grand Prix.
Format: Whichever you feel like.
Summary: Yu's getting himself back into fighting form for this tournament.

[As if Yu Narukami didn't have enough to do with his life, between working three jobs to save up for a place to stay and looking after his little cousin, now he's staying up to ungodly hours of the night to train for the Grand Prix. Sometimes he had to ask himself how he did it, where he found the energy to attend to so many tasks at the same time. He had to be nuts; he never drove himself this crazy before he came to Inaba...]

[In any case, until the Grand Prix, Yu can be found in the Libra Ward, not far from his apartment building. During the 13th Hour, he's focused on fighting Shadows, getting himself into the thick of it with Izanagi at his side (and later after a trip to the Velvet Room, his new Persona as well). Yeah, he's getting banged up as a result, but he doesn't care; the experience will be worth it.]

[Before the 13th Hour, Yu is still out, sword slung over his shoulder, staking out a good place to get ready and fight. He's switched back to his katana from Inaba; as much as he liked the beam sword he got on his first day, using his old weapon felt appropriate for this. Until the 13th Hour, he's willing to spar with anyone that wants the practice; after all, these were one on one Persona duels. The best experience would come from combating against others.]

[In short? Come at him; him and Izanagi are ready for all of you.]

[Yosuke took his own position down the street, putting his headphones back over his ears and hitting up a playlist on his mp3 player he'd put together specifically for fighting in the TV World. Once that was taken care of, the teen took a fighting position, restlessly twirling the kunai in his hand.

He'd gotten better at handling them over the course of their year fighting Shadows in Inaba, as well as his short time of training in Hinoto-Ri, so he wasn't bound to cut his hands as often anymore.

This was pretty exciting, his heart pounding in his ears along with the bass of the music. Concentrating as he got into a fighting stance, he twirled one of his kunai up as the Magician card appeared before him, smashing it with the sharp blade. As Susano-o appeared before him, Yosuke held up his hand and gave a wave to Yu, shouting down the street.]


You start!!
disconinjafrog: (Get off of me!!)

And Yosuke's luck stat fails him again--

[Okay, so maybe he was right about Dodge Lightning not always helping, because the lightning strike connects and sends Yosuke sprawling onto the ground.

He's trying to push through the disorientation that comes from being hit with electricity and get back on his feet, but in the meantime Yu gets an extra attack.]
disconinjafrog: (Thanks partner...)

He asked for it 8|b

[It takes Yosuke some time to recover, and ow was that painful, but he gets back to his feet, breathing heavily as repositions himself.]

Thanks for not going easy on me, partner! [And he means it, too. He would've been angry with Yu if Yu hadn't taken the clear advantage. So in return, Yosuke is casting Garudyne on his partner. He needs to make up for lost time.]
