Endless Speculation

[disconinjafrog]

Who: Yosuke, Yukiko, Chie, Nanako, Kanji, Rise, Dojima, AU Yosuke, AU Souji
Where: The Amagi Inn
Summary: It's time to have a lot of Investigation Team discussions...
Warnings: None

With both their Leader and Naoto gone from the city, the team was feeling a little distraught without them. Yosuke in particular had to get on the ball quickly with these new circumstances as the unofficial 'second-in-command', and the Investigation Team needed some regrouping and fast reorganizing.

The first order of business was to decide how to stay in close contact with these dangerous times coming about, and loyalties to certain factions being rather shaken after recent events. While the entire team had originally been stationed within the Libra apartment complex, Yukiko, Chie, and Nanako were all currently living in the Amagi Inn. After some thought and discussion, it had been decided that the best course of action was to move the entire team into the inn, at least as a secondary home, considering it was free housing that was much more spacious than what was offered in the assigned apartment complexes. At least that way, the team was never too far apart. It offered some semblance of greater unity now that their Leader was missing.

Once everyone was settled in the inn, however, some business needed to be taken care of. A new leader of the Investigation Team needed to be officially decided, first off; Yosuke didn't want to just assume the position without his friends' consent, of course. On top of that, they needed to figure out what to do with Adachi who was now in the city, along with the circumstances in general... and then there was the matter of the two doubles: Yosuke's own double along with the double of Yu, the one mysteriously named Souji.

Dojima also needed to be informed of the situation at hand... something that was definitely going to be a mess to handle.

All in all it was going to be a pretty busy day...

[OOC: This log will be split up into four parts: a mingling section in the inn, the IT discussion, talking to the AU versions of Yosuke and the P4 protagonist to get them to join the IT, and explaining the magic of Persona to Dojima in his hospital room.

The discussion will be further broken up into several parts including: instating Yosuke as the leader, discussing Adachi, discussing what to do with the AU characters, and discussing the situation of Hinoto-Ri as a whole (the Government versus the Anoli, etc.)

There's no real strict tagging order, and not all threads are necessary to finish, but please keep up when you can and track the ones you're in, particularly if it's the discussions~]

Hunting Down AUs

[disconinjafrog]

The IT tracks down the AUs in whatever hobo hole they're living in now and tries to convince them to join their team. (AU characters go first! To establish setting and stuff.)

The Scorpio Ward had been good in starting out their street performing career - there were lots of newbies and professionals there, and they blended right in. Not enough that they got barely anything, but they didn't stand out enough to be recognised. It was a good sort of anonymity - it certainly made Souji less twitchy to be around. The guy wanted to dye his hair to stay under the radar, how crazy was that?

The performances also helped in easing the tense relationship they had currently as well. It was silly, didn't have their lives riding on it, and Hinoto-Ri was so different from Inaba, it was almost easy to pretend that what happened back home had been a nightmare. Well, easy for Yosuke. They still had Adachi prowling the streets - as a cop! - but Souji said to avoid him and Yosuke was all too happy with that. If he saw him, he doubted he'd be able to stop himself from punching him right in that innocent looking face, and then he'd end up in jail. Souji would have a heart attack.

They were coming back from one of their performances one cool afternoon, the sun starting to dip behind the buildings, and Yosuke was shifting about the money hat in his hands, looking at the coins and notes they had collected. It wasn't a lot... but it was still a generous amount considering they were one of hundreds of street performers in Scorpio.

"We should probably step up our game a bit... this really isn't a lot."

Souji only gave a mute nod to 'Ske's comment, momentarily spacing out while shuffling his cards. He'd really had an off-day...it was harder to focus for some reason, and he had kept his hood up to cover msot of his head for the entire day. His worries hadn't ended at his hair color, it seemed.

He was so autopilot that he almost walked in to an alp, who turned her nose up annoyedly and weaved around him. He watched her go with refound awareness, and sighed once she was out of earshot.

"I don't know how to compete with demons at magic tricks." It wasn't just humans out there doing performances, and setting up next to a very charismatic black frost had all but stolen any business they could have drummed up otherwise. The thought made him rub the back of his neck, shuffling the cards one-handed. "Maybe we should try another district- we may have better luck if we go outside of where people expect performers."

"Yeah, but we'd have to make sure we won't be a nuisance," Yosuke warned. "I mean, people expect performers to be in the Scorpio Ward, so..."

He fell into a thoughtful silence, balancing the hat on his palm and slowly turning it with just his fingers, looking straight ahead as they walked. He was so hungry right now. Maybe they could take a detour through the shopping district.

"How about Cancer? It's full of gaming crap, and if we do it outside the arcade... there's lots of room there."
