Who: The Investigation Team still in Hinoto-Ri; Yu, Yukiko, Chie, Teddie, and Yosuke.
Where: Dojima house
Summary: The leader's out of the hospital, but a good chunk of the team is missing now. Time to talk about how to get everyone back.
Warnings: There will be punching later.
The message went out yesterday afternoon in a text message: Dojima House, 5 PM, Sunday; need to talk about recent events. Of course, it goes out to all members of the Investigation Team, though some sends bounce back; no denying it now, Kanji, Rise, and Naoto were definitely missing.
Yu's there to greet everyone at the door as they come in, foregoing his cane in the house. It's hard to tell if walking back and forth that much bothers him, though he looks maybe a little too grateful to sit at his usual spot once everyone is all in. Dinner was provided from Mays: a big sushi platter for everyone to pick from, with soda all around.

He rubs the back of his head a little as he thinks, fiddling with his headphones with his other hand. "Well all of us showed up the same way, by Philemon, that weird masked guy, showing up to us in a dream and basically pulling us here. When we first came here we got explained to us by the first people to come from outside of the city what was going on; people call them "The Seven" I think, they're in good with the government. The government gave us all apartments, told us about what was going on, stuff like that.
In October, something weird happened, where Scorpion demons started swarming the streets and this giant demon I had to help fight attacked in the Scorpio district. A lot of people who were Scorpions actually got brainwashed into turning against their friends.
After that, we were pretty well set until around Christmas..."
Yosuke glances over at Yu and Yukiko. "You wanna explain that one?"
no subject
Yes, Yu actually let out an awkward noise at that, pausing to look around at Chie and Teddie, his gaze resting on Yukiko. Finally, he let out a faint noise, looking a little crestfallen as he began explaining:
"The Jack Frosts and Pyro Jacks brainwashed a few people into spreading a white or green Christmas. I was one of them."
And that was all he was saying on that.
"I've spoken with someone who's dealt with Philemon personally before," he continued, quickly changing the topic. "What he had to say was... disturbing, and I think we're in for a lot more here than what we've already been through."
no subject
"Is this the same person who sent the message about Philemon 'ruining lives' after the disappearances?"
no subject
"So I guess we can't just find where he's hiding and kick his butt until he sends up home?" Of course Chie would take such a simple route to a solution.
no subject
"It's not that easy," he replied. He wished some things were that easy, but he still wasn't entirely sure if Philemon was on their side or not. No need to punch the guy in the face if he was actually helping them, right?
He nodded to Yukiko. "He described Philemon as a representative of humanity that desired enlightenment, and Nyarlathotep as his shadow."
Yu paused again to consider how he was going to drop this next part, because he was still having trouble processing that one.
"I have reason to believe that we're also from the same world. Or at least, one similar to it."
no subject
That was a... creepy thought. That they had more than one meddling god messing things up for everyone in their world.

"He said that the world outside of where he lived, Sumaru City, had... ended," he continued, plowing right into everything that boy had told him. "In order for them to save it and stop Nyarlathotep, they needed to reset the world; make it so that whatever caused things to fall apart would never happen so that the world could continue.
"And this happened back in Nineteen-ninety-nine."
no subject
"It...ended?!"
Yukiko couldn't think of any constructive to say because it's hard to beat 'end of the world' as an excuse. But the persona users reset time and made it all better, right? Everyone was ok? But hearing that, it sounded like Nyarlathotep is no pushover. They need to tread carefully before doing any major plans.

"What's more, he said that, 'if you see an unusual butterfly, that's probably Philemon'," he continued. "I've seen them, on our world; sparkling blue butterflies that always seemed to appear when I needed a moment to stop and reflect. I don't think any of you ever did, and it usually appeared in the TV or across from where the entrance to the Velvet Room is in our world, so I thought it was just... another quirk of that place."
How wrong he was, if that was really Philemon...
"That's why I believe our worlds may be similar, if not directly related," he pressed on. "This person sacrificed everything he knew and loved, just so the rest of the world could have a chance. So we could have a chance."
