K1 sighed. "The program that summons demons is powered by a song. Apparently the song is in another language, one that most people can't sing. Somehow my cousin managed to convert it into a program that using a special server can access the Underworld and summon Demons.
"As for other stuff, there's a couple special functions on these COMPs. The main ones you should be concerned about are the Demon Auctions and the Cathedral of Shadows. The Demon Auctions let you spend Macca--that's demon money-- and contract demons who auction themselves on there. The Cathedral of Shadows lets you fuse two demons into one stronger one," K1 explained. "You've only got that Kobold from before, so you can't fuse him yet."

"Wait, so this was done on purpose?"
Yuugi seemed good at the whole "create awkward situations unintentionally" thing. He didn't know about the relationship between K1 and his older cousin. Or much beyond the lockdown being caused by demons. Yuugi paused for a moment and continued talking.
"You really like him, don't you? The other me noticed something when you mentioned him..." Yuugi trailed off because he finally noticed K1 tense up. Was there anything the blue-haired teen could talk about in relation to his world that wouldn't cause this reaction? He continued to turn the crank as he spoke.

K1 looked down. "Yeah... he's done a lot of... things, but we've been together since we were little kids. He was like an older brother to me. When stuff happened in the lockdown, I didn't know who to trust anymore. I felt like I could always depend on Naoya, though."
He crossed his fingers. "I failed him though. I ended up not being able to complete this test he'd made for me, and he stopped talking to me. And then I ended up here."
There was a bit of an awkward silence.

Yuugi looked down at his own feet. One more sensitive subject. He looked up again. Maybe he could handle this one better than the others, "With all you've said, he's probably just stressed. I'm sure things would be okay i... um, when you see each other again."
Yuugi had almost said "if you see each other again". It wasn't just for K1's sake he altered it. If K1 never saw his friends again... where would that leave him and his other self? He was trying to figure out how to get past that issue when he heard a noise from his COMP. He almost dropped it, but managed to fumble into saving it.
"Looks like its up!" he smiled. Looks like the goddess of luck had given him a chance to change the topic of conversation. He flipped it open to get a look at the menu.

K1 looked over at Yuugi's COMP, grateful for the change of topic. "Alright, it looks like the Auction's up. You should check that out first." After a moment, he added, "If you need some Macca, I can give you some. I'm pretty good on Macca at the moment anyways."

Yuugi looked down at the menu, using the arrows on the COMP to indicate the area labeled "Auction". He pressed what had worked as the confirmation button for the e-mails, and the COMP made a slight error noise. It wasn't high pitched, just an indicator that it wouldn't work.
"Um, K1-kun, I don't think I can access it..."
He hadn't gotten an e-mail about it or any indicator that it worked, after all.

K1 sighed. "Guess not. Oh well... try not to get into any battles then." Of course, considering where they were, that was easier said than done.
He yawned, and raised his arms, accidentally catching a whiff of his still nasty clothing. "...Hey, Yuugi, can I have my clothes? I'm going to go change."

Yuugi looked confused for a moment, and the remembered K1 had left the bag when he went to get the chargers. He nodded as he stood up and handed the bag to K1.
"We should both go. I haven't worn mine as long as you've worn yours, but I've also got a tear," Yuugi indicated the rip in his sleeve from the fight the night before, "They're over there."
(OOC: Feel free to have them coming out of the bathroom)

K1 came out of the bathrooms wearing the new clothing he'd gotten that day, and smelling less bad than he had earlier that day. He still need a shower badly, but at least he looked somewhat clean.
He turned to Yuugi. "...I guess we got everything we needed to do done today. Now what?"

Yuugi was wearing one of the black sleeveless shirts and a tan vest. He'd actually picked up the vest partly because it reminded him of something he'd worn at home. It had a lot of pockets, and he had moved his deck to one of the pockets after changing. The jeans he was wearing seemed rather tight, but for the way the teen carried himself it seemed he preferred them that way. His black leather belt from before was still on, as were the various accesories.
He was pretty similar to K1 in terms of smelling less bad and such. However, he managed to pull of "style" better than the teen probably could have dreamed. He looked up towards K1 when he asked his question and pointed towards the area of the investigation he had seet Souji heading to.
"We should check on Seta-kun," Yuugi remarked.

K1 nodded, and headed outside to where Souji had gone. The teen was talking to some police officers, asking a few questions. After a bit, the officer shooed him away and Souji walked on away. It looked like he'd learned all he needed to anyways.
"Souji-san!" K1 called. Souji looked up.
"I see you two are done," Souji said.

"Did you find what you needed?" Yuugi asked. It was fairly obvious the teen was in a much better mood, although the reason why could be any number of things. People inside the 4th wall would probably blame it on getting into clean clothes.

Souji nodded. "It's most likely that the body ended up there during the Dark Hour. I'm not sure how yet, but it wasn't found even when the security guards looked in the Haagen-Dazs at midnight. So, either the shadows did it, or a persona user did it."
"...I've been wondering about that," K1 said. "I don't think I can use one of those Persona things, but I was still awake during the Dark Hour."

"I don't think I can either..." Yuugi said, his tone containing a touch more hope than was probably required, "But that doesn't really explain the missing security guard. Is that even connected to his?"
Atem remained quiet, but Yuugi could tell he had an opinion on the subject. Specifically, the part about Yuugi not thinking he could summon a Persona. To someone outside his head and not knowledgable about his canon, however, his comment would create an issue. For Souji had seen Atem summon a Persona, and in all technicaly it was the same body.

Souji nodded. "Last night, I checked the TVs. The TVs in this world are most definitely connected to the TV World. If the security guard did it, then he might have escaped into the TV World, or, for another possibility, he might have shoved the body into the TV after killing it, and escaped in there himself. That would explain why the body appeared on the cell phone tower. He turned to Yuugi. "Didn't you summon one last night? Or was that your other self that did that?" K1 tensed. "How do you know about that?!" ((OOC: Souji was most definitely listening.  )) |
