It's strange, to think that I've been here for almost a year. ...It really doesn't feel like it's been that long at all.

[He pauses, thoughtful. The poised tail of a cat can be seen in the bottom of the feed, as the cait sith winds around his ankles. He leans down to scratch it behind the ears.]In some ways, I don't mind being here at all. ( Read more... )

That was a pretty grand wake-up call.

[Souji is in the inn's kitchen, busy preparing food. He's wearing that pink apron he got at Christmas time, and, if one cares to look, they can see the edge of the hat he's wearing. In the spirit of things, of course. Looking up at the camera for a moment, he starts off with his usual calm sort of purpose.] ( Read more... )

[Things have been a little hectic lately, huh, Demeleier ( Read more... )

Chie has gone missing. I'm not sure if she's left Demeleier or if it's the work of the shadows - or the fae.

[He feels like it's the former, which is stupid - he's not Rise, or Teddie. He has no way of telling. But that's the conclusion that's twisting in his gut.]Kidnapping isn't exactly habit for shadows like these, but we should be looking for ( Read more... )

[Filtered from Nanako]

These shadows in the area are something that myself, Yosuke, Chie, and Kanji are familiar with. On their own, they tend to be weak - but you're not likely to face just one, and they can be overwhelming if you're not careful. To that end, it's the request of the watch that noone, regardless of personal ability or experience, ( Read more... )

[VALERIA // 95%]

Valeria.

[There is an edge to his voice that can't quite be hidden, one of urgency and maybe something more, something steely. But for the most part, Souji is as composed as ever.]

You went to get him.

How is he, now?

[SEEKERS OF TRUTH // 95%]

Adachi has come back.

[He pauses, but his hiss of breath isn't audible. Part of ( Read more... )

I had wondered how I'd get this back, but... it was on the table when I woke up.

[Silence reigns for a few moments. When Souji speaks up, however, he does so with a small smile. It's clearly a taut little thing, but it remains earnest, and the gratitude in it is genuine.]I would like to thank everyone who helped bring me back. Yosuke told me it ( Read more... )

[When the video comes on, Souji can be seen diligently focusing on some little task, but his hands are out of sight. His expression is calm, however.]

I took some scraps of paper from the Town Hall.

[He holds something up - a small origami crane, well folded despite the paper not being ideal. He sets it back down, continues folding.]I'm curious ( Read more... )

Thank you for the help at the inn, Arianthe. Whatever it is, it has an aversion to iron, but the metal still doesn't stop it. It only seems to come out after midnight, though - until then, it doesn't pose a problem. Just waits. It should be something we can hold off ( Read more... )

[The inn is seldom, if ever, empty. There are always people there, and currently Souji, Yosuke, and Aaron are in the kitchen, preparing food. Or Souji and Aaron are, anyway. Yosuke’s there to taste-test, whine about Mystery Food X, and probably bitch a bit, which is fine by the other two, provided he keeps up the tasting. Just because they’re out ( Read more... )
