Ryoji shook his head and tapped the side of it, "I know more about tarot than most books cover, actually. I can read it without needing to look stuff up, too. Teddie-kun mentioned the shadows, but I didn't know the Persona fell under them too," Ryoji paused, "Hey, you might want to get a book on the Thoth version of Tarot if you're doing research. Some of the Arcana have different names. For example The World is known as The Universe in the Thoth Deck."
"I think it came about on the theory that Tarot originated in Ancient Egypt, hence the reference to the Ancient Egyptian god of knowledge," Ryoji finished.

"Really now?" Souji asked. "I didn't know that."
He was sure that Ryoji's knowledge of the Tarot to that much of an extent was because he was the Appriser. And the Universe thing... so Izanagi-no-Okami was of the same Arcana as the Persona Minato used to seal Nyx away before? Well, maybe not the same one, but they had to be similar if they had names like that.
Still, it was a nice hobby. He smiled.
It would probably be best for Ryoji to stay at Souji's apartment until the shock from the TV World wore off for Minato. Minato had been under a lot of stress lately; he didn't need Ryoji on top of that.

Ryoji returned the smile.
"Topsicles!" Teddie ruined any possible moment with the shout as he threw his hands into the air. He may have had the body of a teenager, but he acted like a little kid most of the time. This was no exception.
----------
Adachi would barely be getting the locks redone on his apartment door when the phone rang. It probably didn't help he had at least five of the suckers. Whether it had occurred to him that someone could kick/slice/zap the door down no matter how many locks he had didn't really matter. What mattered was the phone was ringing and he still had a stack of papers in his hand.
It wasn't like Adachi ran around giving the phone number to many people, so there were only so many people it could be.
(OOC: Slight bit of godmoding with Adachi, but FF said it was okay via IM.)

Souji smiled, and then jumped as Teddie yelled. "Oh crap! I forgot to go buy Topsicles. I'll be back as soon as possible, guys!" He ran back out the door again.
-------------
Adachi jumped as his phone began to ring. That had to be the office. Had he screwed up again? He had been rather jumpy... well, when you had that maniac nephew of Dojima-san's living right across the hallway, how could you not be?! It was such a shame too, Souji had seemed like a nice kid, but then he had to go stick his nose into the murder case... And he had the same Persona Adachi had. That was just fucked up.
Once he got done shaking, he walked over to the telephone and picked it up. "Tohru Adachi speaking."

"-telling you that if he doesn't pick up this time he's gonna get- Oh, Adachi-san!"
Obviously Adachi had come into the middle of an argument at the office. Focused on him.
"We've been trying you for the past half hour!" There was an audible sigh, "There's a bunch of paperwork you screwed up on. You're the only one here that knows anything about this Apathy Syndrome. You need to come back down here and straighten it out!"
There was the sound of a bell rattling. Adachi would know it as the bells attached to the front door of the police station.
"E-excuse me, I was wondering if you could tell me-" The voice was well on the meek side, and seemed to be a teenage boy. He was using the "boku" pronoun and speaking about as politely as seemed possible. For how quietly he was talking it was probably surprising he could be heard over the phone.
"Look, kid. Go sit down. We'll get to you when we can. Adachi-san, just hurry up and get back here!"
The phone hung up.
(OOC: DUN DUN DUN. XD The identity of the voice will be revealed in my next canon sign up. Trust me, its integral to the overall plot)

Adachi put the phone down and sighed. Yeah, he figured that was what that had been about. He really wished there were more people from his Japan at the station. But of course, the only ones he knew were himself, that weird blue-haired boy with the Gekkoukan uniform, and Dojima's nephew.
He got to work unlocking his many locks before heading out the door.
Not realizing he'd left the paperwork he'd already done where he left it when he came in.
