((should i make an acc for JUST shadow!Yu...

[Has a big dumb crush on Yosuke, but you didn't hear that from me.]

'I am still going to decline. Sorry. Maybe a giant meatgrinder and a--conveyor belt would do you good.'

'It's not a bad start if you can only make tofu, Rise. . . Practice makes perfect.'

'It looks too much like an animal, ma'am. Doing that to something too animal-esque... makes my stomach churn.'

[Staring at this weird ass penguin.] 'We already have a weird ass mascot, unfortunately. So, I'll have to pass up such a kind offer.'

'Tofu time again? Man, it comes quicker every year.' [A joke, of course, as the deaf leader offers a little smile.]

'Fun, huh? Sorry. My folks came back overseas and I was morally obligated to spend time with my less than stellar blood family.'

'Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?' [Ignore the layout, I'm too lazy to change it rn lol.]

'Yeah. . . Personas. I'm the WildCard. I can have like eight different ones on me at a time. Yosuke and the gang are limited to one.'

(( gotta fix my layout but im lazy

'Yeah, that's what I thought. Hey, Rise.'

'Our circumstances brought us together....and we've been unable to part ways.' [A sigh, shaking his head.] 'I'm Yu Narukami. Just call me Narukami, though.'

'. . . Yeah, you know what, I'll buy that.'

'Shit.' [Signs Yu, who's expression is blank. He doesn't believe her, he's gonna fuck around.] 'Do they finally have flying cars and no war in the future?'

((what year is it ))

'. . .' [Staring out into the fog.]

THE SLAUGHTER'S MINE OH BLOOD AND VISCERA DIVINE PRESERVED AND PRIMED EACH MUSCLE DIVVIED UP TO DINE

'HANAMURA'S SHADOW RESTS WITHIN YOU, AND I NEED HIM. SO. IT'S GREAT I RAN INTO YOU FIRST.' [All six arms raise, and with two fingers on each, he beckons in Yosuke's direction, a shadowy force being removed from the other against his will.] 'MY LITTLE COURT JESTER.'

'I WISH FOR CANDY AS WELL. I'M SURE MY PRISONER WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FORM OF SWEET IN HIS SITUATION RIGHT NOW. . .' [A laugh track clip plays on his screen.]

[The screen glitches, neck rolling with a sickening crack, the monitor following, as if grafted to the flesh.] 'YOSUKE... DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME? YOUR BEST PAL. YOUR PARTNER. I'M HONESTLY HURT MY GODLY VISAGE AND AURA HADN'T TIPPED YOU OFF.' [One of six hands placed dramatically ++

'Y-U-K-I-K-O.' [The monitor headed shadow slow turns, the fog grows even more dense as the static blares from blown out TV speakers.] 'IT CERTAINLY HAS BEEN A BIT SINCE WE'VE SEEN HER. I WONDER IF SHE'S UNSATISFIED WITH HER LIFE, EVEN STILL.'

OH, YOUR HEART AORTIC WORK OF ART MY LOVE, MY KNIFE TO CARVE IT OUT, YOUR LIFE

The day of a funeral The mourners dressed in black They came to say their piece and go (No, they're not looking back) I was the first to arrive and the last one to leave time ticked on without me while I waded through the grief

[Yu takes the bowl with a hum, stacking it into his own and placing them in the sink once he too stands up to stretch.] 'You still alright to take costume measurements?' [Yu asks, head tilting.]

[The static grows louder, as someone, or something wobbles closer to Yosuke. Multiple humanoid arms spreading apart until there are six in total. Upon the tv slapped messily in place of the head of this humanoid, graphical glitches appear on the screen-like "face" of it. 'Y-O-S-U-K-E.' ++

Everything erased, okay We'll just retry anyways Cycle around, intersect Until the universe collapses in

cry so loudly, i slant devoutly tell me what about me is built so wrong?

[ @captressentiment.bsky.social ] [The fog has rolled in. . . Usually, this was nothing but impaired driving weather to the citizens of Inaba, but to a select few, it was a harbinger of death. The figure that brings such fog is silent, only the buzz of tv static fills the empty air. . .]

I AM A SHADOW, THE TRUE SELF.

'I mean, I used to make lunches for everyone during our Yasogami High days, and people tended to enjoy those...so I'm not too surprised.' [A lighthearted shrug, not giving himself enough credit as he finishes his as well.] 'Hand me your bowl, I'll put it in the sink for now.'

[A little nod, slurping up his chicken yakisoba. He hadn't realized how hungry he was. . .] Mm. [A little off-key hum.]

bsky.app/profile/prin... yeah i made a yosuke what about it chat ))

(( the crazed urge to make a yosuke of my own... or kanji... ))

BY THE MYRIAD TRUTHS, ALL SHALL BE REVEALED! #mvrp

[Has been playing PokeRogue all day, he emerges with non brushed hair and in his jammies.] ????

'Maybe visit them in human form, Teddie...' (💧)

'Don't-- gamble, I guess? It's a bad thing to do, gambling addictions are no joke. . . I'm sure we could find someone for you to talk to about it...' [Maybe the velvet room attendants? They do owe him big...]

'I know, but. . . you can't do it without people's permission, bud.' [Note to self, never take Teddie to Vegas.]

'Hand back the allowances, Teddie. You can't gamble with other people's money.'

'Teddie.' [Standing behind him. MENACINGLY.]

❝ 𝑪𝑨𝑷𝑻𝑨𝑰𝑵 𝑲𝑰𝑫𝑫.ᐟ ❝

[Nodding. Yosuke's penchant of calling Yu "Partner" was always able to bring a smile to his face, this time is no different.] 'I'd have to take measurements, if you're okay with that.'

'It's easy. Horns, claws, tail. Red. I think you'd look nice in red.' [Eating as well, he wonders if he should save his Baldur's Gate cosplay for another day...]

'I personally think something mischievous, like a demon, would fit you perfectly.' [Eating his, surprised at how good it is too. First time making this kinda thing, haha.] Mmm. [He hums, before signing.] 'That's excellent.'

[Sttttrreeeeetch.]

'It would be no trouble. Just, if it's gonna be complicated, give me some time.' [Seems Yu was on the same page.] 'An' no problem. Food always tastes better when shared with someone...' [Sitting down beside him with his own bowl.]

'Alright, movie night, y'all. What do you guys wanna watch. I mostly have horror movies from the west, but...'

(( really old and unfinished art of the oc i wanna persona4-ify. @captressentiment.bsky.social ))
