Weird

Dude, so I'm not crazy?!

That was so weird... I dunno what was up with me, but I was like, totally zoned out.

Thought I had Apathy Syndrome or... like I was in history class or somethin'. Guess we lucked out, huh?

[mean_left_hook]

You're not crazy.

Looking back on older posts, it looks like everyone with a chip was affected.

All I remember was walking down the street, and just fighting anything I saw that resembled a shadow.

I wonder if that's how Aigis feels sometimes..

[stupei_iori]

That's too weird, Senpai - does that mean they can control us through those things?!

[mean_left_hook]

Yes. I know this isn't the first time the scientists have used the chips to do strange things.

I'm betting it won't be the last, either.

[kirijo_mitsuru]

It certainly was strange, wasn't it?

You should come back to the Latimer apartments. It would be best if we all stuck together. Yamagishi is here too.

[mean_left_hook]

Are you alright?
I'm sure you stayed calm, as always.

Yamagishi? Is she really here?
I thought we had a message come through from her, but I got no response. I was wondering if it was cellular interference from our world.

[kirijo_mitsuru]

I'm fine, don't worry. Are you?
It was strange but I managed. You were out killing?

I heard a message from her, but nothing since. I think we should go looking for her...if you're up to it.

[mean_left_hook]

I'm fine, just sore. I'll manage.

So she's not with you.
We need to look for her, now.

Considering all the monsters I've seen out here, she wouldn't last longer on her own- especially without Lucia.

Aki. So you've been..

Er. I've got the bar open. Serving food and drinks, if you want to drag the rest of 'em here.

[mean_left_hook]

I guess when it comes down to it, my basic function is to train.

I'm not really an interesting individual, in comparison to most here.

[prodigal_axe]

Aki, don't start that shit.

Tch. Maybe they'd agree, since they don't know you.

But I know better.

[mean_left_hook]

I haven't accomplished much yet.

If I were better at talking to people, information would probably come to me a lot easier.

[embracethewaves]

...Wait, what were you organizing?

[mean_left_hook]

The dead bodies.

[embracethewaves]

......

Why were you doing something like that?!

[mean_left_hook]

Why was anyone doing anything weird the past few days?

The chip.

I guess I had a one-track mind for the duration of the control period.

[purgatory_maren]

Akihiko- if you have no place to be, come to my apartment when you're done checking out the city each day. Junpei and I have plenty of room for you, and it's getting colder.

[mean_left_hook]

I'm staying at an old place of Shinji's.

Considering the odd hours I've been making for myself, it might be better if I didn't trouble you guys.

[stupei_iori]

You're not a trouble, Senpai!

I mean, we're used to training in the Dark Hour, after all, right?

[purgatory_maren]

Yeah, it's no problem. I'm up at weird times now and Junpei sleeps like a rock.

.. Well, if you get sick of being by yourself, come to our place whenever you want.
