FOURTH WALL EVENT [VIDEO/ACTION IN ICE PATH]

[usedeverything]

[ Oh hey, it's that Seta kid again and his stupid little video feeds. He's been around a lot over the network with his centre-house catching on fire, the Cleffamigos, and all that. Well, how about this one where the camera is GOING ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE OH MY GOD WHERE'S A BARF BAG WHEN YOU NEED IT--

After a minute of this flailing and what

[There is a teeny Yosuke kneeling nearby, shivering and looking completely terrified. It's scary in here! How did he get here? It's COLD!]

[usedeverything]

[ Looking around and hey, a kid. When did you get here and why do you look like a certain Magician s.link bro? Souji just tries to slide over there as carefully as possible, trying not to slip. ]

Are you alright? [ As in like no injuries or anything, but if you're feeling cold works too. ]

[teenysuke]

[He doesn't say anything at all at first, whimpering. He's scared and cold, and he's trying his best not to cry. Big boys don't cry, right?]

I-it's co-cold.... an-and I'm loooooooooost! [It doesn't work, and he bursts into tears.]

[usedeverything]

[ Oh man, crying kids. Souji hasn't dealt with that for a full year now. Uh, uhhh. He's just going to take his jacket off and put on the kid. He can manage the cold. ]

Hey, we'll find the way out of here, alright? Don't worry. [ A small reassuring smile. ]

[teenysuke]

[He looks up with teary eyes, a bit surprised that he's getting help.] Re... really? Are... you lost too?

[usedeverything]

[ A small nod. ]

Not for long though if you help me look for the exit.

[teenysuke]

Ye-yeah? [He sniffles, and then wipes his tears with his sleeve in a way that is so distinctly Yosuke.]

Li-like partners?

[usedeverything]

[ That totally pings Souji who stares and blinks twice. He nods his head slowly. ]

... Yeah, like partners. [ A beat. ] Would your name happen to be Yosuke?

[teenysuke]

[His eyes light up slightly. Recognition!]

Y-you know my name? [Cocks his head to the side.] Do you work for my dad?

[usedeverything]

[ So it really is actually-- oh man, Souji is going to have a blast teasing the older Yosuke about this. ]

[ Another nod. ] Something like that. [ Which isn't really a lie considering how he has worked at Junes a few times before. ]

I'm Souji Seta. It's nice to meet you, Yosuke.

[teenysuke]

Oh! Good, 'cause dad would be mad if I trusted a stranger. Stranger danger, stranger danger! [He laughs a little, obviously feeling more comfortable with someone who... knows who he is.]

It's nice to meet you too, Souji onii-chan! [How's that feel, Souji?]

[usedeverything]

[ That's... kinda adorable. Man, why is Yosuke the cutest thing ever as a kid? ]

[ He just chuckles. ] How about we try to find the way out now, partner?

[teenysuke]

Uh-huh! It's too cold in here! [He pauses, looking at Souji's jacket.] Aren't you cold without this, Souji onii-chan?

[usedeverything]

[ Souji looks down and shakes his head. ]

I'll be fine. I think you need it more than me. [ Souji has managed to stay in this place before in his PJs for a whole weekend so he thinks he can manage just a bit. ]

[teenysuke]

Thanks! You're really nice, you know that? [Grins at him.]

[usedeverything]

[ He pauses then smiles. ]

I try my best. [ Here, he holds out an outstretched hand. Let's go slide on the ice together and find the exit, alright? ]
