[ ... glances at yukari. ]

... I found a girl who says she's a granny even though she's twelve, and a princess who can make fire from nothing without a Persona.

1/2

[ ... ]

[snipers]

[ she's not sure what she was expecting, honestly. with a much put-upon S I G H, yukari turns away from junpei and focuses her attention on shinji, hands resting behind her back. ]

This place is so far the only area I know if where modern technology works, and it extends outside the station, too. [ yukari walked for quite a ways while she fooled around on her cellphone, seeing how long it lasted before it shut down. ] The computers here access some kind of intranet, and I was able to access some websites from home but something doesn't really feel right about all of it, ya know? I sent Mitsuru-senpai an email but who knows if she'll even get it.

[ she hesitates, glancing over her shoulder just in case any of the mingling crowd happens to be eavesdropping. ]

... I haven't tried to summon my Persona, but I was able to heal a cut I got while I was checking my arrows, so I know Isis is still with me. [ her eyes linger on shinjiro for a few moments before finally acknowledging junpei again. ] And I'm sure you both know about the war, right?

[heavyaxe]

[hold up. junpei honestly catches his attention with that information-]

That girl ain't twelve. She's somethin' else. [a beat,] Know anything else about the princess? What is she?

[and hold up- why is junpei talking about personas so easily in public? man. he can tell yukari's a little uncomfortable about it, too. still, he keeps quiet and listens. he doesn't want to talk about castor, doesn't want to face the facts just yet. he's running low.]

Mitsuru isn't getting your email, no matter how many you send. We're in another world. [and about the war:] Yeah. Been going on for a long time, too, from what I've heard.

[slugout]

[ at first he'd thought this was another part of tartarus, and he was still in the dark hour or something — caer scima matched the aesthetic, you know? and asking around if people knew about apathy syndrome seemed like a good idea.

and it's not like this place isn't WEIRD enough for personas? there was a talking lizard selling "bor-ee-tos" at the food court? YEAH. totally weird. ]

Firelord-to-be. She's a fire-bender.

[snipers]

... What's a fi—

[ no, you know what, not worth it, and yukari shakes her head. ]

Ugh, nevermind. [ back to senpai! ] And yeah, I thought it was something like that, it was just weird that I could still access pages normally.

[ looking toward one of the outer walls of the station, yukari nods her head toward it. ]

Apparently that didn't happen in a battle. ...A giant Shadow almost destroyed this place.

[heavyaxe]

[yeah, shinjiro's not going to get too into it right now. he can ask around later. for now, he stares blatantly at junpei, hoping it'll squeeze some more information out of him. seriously, be more specific! a fire-bender to them is a persona user to ...whoever that chick is.

he looks incredibly surprised. he hadn't thought they'd run into shadows here.]

What?

[EXPLAIN.]

[slugout]

[ yes, yukatan, please elaborate so senpai stops staring at him like that. ]

[snipers]

[ well, obviously someone didn't go back that far, or ask the fairies what happened. yukari lifts her eyebrows, glancing between the boys and then, well... ]

I asked around about what happened to this place, and the fairies told me that someone in the Unseelie court can shift into a shadow creature, and one month the shadows went berserk and her with it. [ she nods toward one of the ruined walls. ] She attacked pretty much everywhere: Caer Scima, Caer Glaem, and here. [ and now yukari pulls out her locket and flips through all the entries she made special note of. ] The girl admitted to it on the network and was thrown in the dungeon in Caer Glaem for a while.

[heavyaxe]

[junpei you need to elaborate on YOUR weird fire bending princess. excuse shinjiro while focuses all of his attention to yukari.]

Someone can shapeshift into a shadow? [that sounds relatively awful, but at least...maybe girl has control over it now? maybe?] What about those other shadows? They ever come back?

[snipers]

[ she shakes her head ]

No, there were no other reports of those shadows coming back. They had some sort of weird... name? Lawka... something or other, I didn't really get it.

[slugout]

[ shes kind of weird and formal and thinks our school uniforms are lame ]

Oh! Those. I heard you gotta have dogs eat them.

[heavyaxe]

Look into it more, if you can. I'll ask around. Lockets hold a lot of info, but not enough. Better off asking people what really happened.

[forever baffled by this place.png]

You serious?

[snipers]

Don't worry, Senpai, I plan on it. I'm gonna see what I can find in the library, too.

[ glancing at junpei, she raises an eyebrow ]

Really? I guess we'll have to make sure Koro-chan gets here as soon as possible.

[slugout]

[ why do you guys look at him like he's not a credible source of information? oh my god, stop it. ]

That's why I said it, yeah....

[heavyaxe]

[because, junpei, your lack of judgement is r i d i c u l o u s sometimes. don't think shinjiro didn't hear about the train fiasco. buuut other times, yeah. he can be okay.

but wait. koromaru -- ]

Be nice to have him back around. Maybe he'd pick up on things we wouldn't. [shinji misses him okay :c] Wouldn't count on it, though. Place is unpredictable.

[snipers]

[ yukari misses him too, even though she's only been here a couple weeks. ]

Yeah, and there's... one more thing. I'm not sure if it's true or not, no one really likes to talk about it. But apparently, our lifespans have been extended here — threefold.
