[Souji's sporting some ugly bruises along with a few suspicious ones, but he ignores them completely as he addresses the camera. He is all business at first.]

Yukiko, Kanji. I need to talk to you both about something.

[Then his expression softens and he smiles.]

You too, Yousuke.

[Some time later, Minato contacted Souji as much as he didn't think the network was really safe for correspondence. Especially not about... Right.

But this is the best filter he can set and should be pretty solid after all the practice and after getting some help from his current matesprit about locking down communication.]

Seta.

[jivitadana]

[Minato had his hands in his pockets like normal. If he was worried, then it was more in his expression than in his body language, although his expression had given away very little to begin with. He nodded before bringing the issue up.]

I talked to him. Briefly.

action;

[eatsyourscience]

Adachi? [Souji took a seat on the fountain's edge.] What did he say?

action;

[jivitadana]

Not much. He seems innocent enough.

[Or he acted that way. Then again, the Chairman had done the same, had been sly enough and behaved in the same manner to lure his friends and himself into trusting him in the first place.]

action;

[eatsyourscience]

He's good at that.

action;

[jivitadana]

Mn. It's all too familiar.

[Minato went quiet, then spoke again.]

When is he from?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

Before me. He hasn't fought us yet.

action;

[jivitadana]

... Does he know you defeated him?

[Seriously, what was going on? The world was safe now in Souji's timeline. Minato really wasn't all that pleased to hear that there was someone or anyone who threatened to erase whatever he and his friends had accomplished only a couple years before.]

action;

[eatsyourscience]

I told him so. I don't know if he believes me or not.

action;

[jivitadana]

He'll have to.

[Yousuke was also from that time. Adachi had to believe the two of them at some point, even if he didn't like it. But it might make him more bitter about it here.]

What is he capable of?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

He has a Persona. It's similar to one of mine.

action;

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded. It was going to be like fighting Strega if it came to that.]

But not as powerful as yours.

action;

[eatsyourscience]

They're different arcana.

action;

[jivitadana]

What's his?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

Fool. Izanagi-no-Okami is World.

action;

[jivitadana]

[A Persona of the World Arcana? This was the first time Minato had heard of that. It didn't take much to guess how Souji could have defeated Adachi or Izanami then. He nodded, smiling a bit. I just wanted to use a matching icon, he's smiling, I swear. XD]

But he only has one Persona?
