...

Is trying to get me killed really required for this? Can't we just... I don't know, how do you summon your Djinn?

[except he knows full well that it probably don't work BUT STILL]

[redsea]

I don't know, it just comes naturally.

[ She has talent going for her, so don't expect any tips... ]

Besides, it's different from summoning your Persona. I can summon it any time I want to.

[juneshero]

[well, it was worth a shot]

Oh, really?

... Ugh, I never expected to have to use Jiraiya outside of the TV World. This is so lame. [which means he's the lamest but heeeeeey... That's something he's well aware of. self-confidence? wazzat]

[redsea]

[ She gives him a smile. ]

Don't be like that. I think it's great! You have an edge compared to other people who rely on weapons like I do. [ Isn't that what friends do? Give each other confidence. ]

[juneshero]

It's not much of an edge if I can't use it...

[sigh, then a wry smile. Yosuke looks like he appreciates the help] I guess that's where training comes in, huh? Thanks again.

[redsea]

You're welcome. [ Ooh, she's the coolest now. ] Shall we go back? Where are you staying?

[juneshero]

I'm uh... [he takes the time to dust off some snow] Temporarily hanging out at the place where I work. They had a spare bedroom and if I help out with the stock and cashier at the store, then they don't mind me staying there. It's not great, but that's why I'm saving up to get a nicer place.

[odd jobs Yosuke, at your service. Everyday's Great at Your Junes]

But sure, let's head back. Don't wanna stay out once it gets too dark, yeah?

[redsea]

[ Having lived most of her life without needing to work a sweat for a single penny, Kougyoku doesn't know what to say after hearing what Yosuke has to go through to have a place to stay. Even until now, all she does is play and train at home. She's too shy to get a job... ]

... Yes, although I believe we will have to go our separate ways once we arrive at our meeting place. I live far from the village.

[ She crouches down and asks for his shoes—he'll need that spell again if they plan on skating back. ]

[juneshero]

Really? Do you live with someone?

[this time, he holds his shoes out without much need for prompts. ... And adds 'skates' to the list of things he needs to remember to get]

[redsea]

Yes, with Yata. [ Cue the ice on Yosuke's shoe. ] And the rest of HOMRA.

[juneshero]

HOMRA...? [he lifts up the second one for Kougyoku, a little more carefully than the first time because he's still wobbly]

Well, at least you're not on your own. I kinda had to ask around before landing a place to live. [granted, he only sleeps there and maybe catches breakfast but he doesn't... feel right inconveniencing the family. And yeah, maybe he did miss his own friends] Oh well, nothing a little good, old fashioned leg work didn't solve.

[he winks and does a little arm flex to emphasize... a little]

[redsea]

[ Yosuke please... She laughs and nods her head. She is fortunate that Tatara asked her to live with them; she wouldn't know where she would be otherwise. Alone, buried in the snow!? ]

I imagine it must have been difficult... [ Another ice spell on Yosuke's shoe, then she stands up. ] I don't know what I would have done.

...HOMRA is the name of their clan. [ She says this as she walks to the river's edge. ]

[juneshero]

Well, it could have been worse. I guess. [he follows after her] And I'm sure you could have worked something out. Heck, I'd have helped!

[just don't burn through his money like Chie does and we're golden]

HOMRA? Is it a gang?

[redsea]

[ She's touched. She didn't even consider getting help from friends before, but that was because she didn't have any until now.

She'll still be spending his money ]

Thank you, Yosuke.

A gang...? I've never really thought about it. [ kougyoku it's so obvious omg ] But they have a strong sense of camaraderie. It's admirable.

[juneshero]

[Yosuke looks pleased...]

[of course she will. /sigh]

... [somewhat unsure but Kougyoku can probably look after herself. Probably... We're going to go with yes.

Besides, he's already gone over the whole 'just because he looks like a street punk doesn't make him a complete street punk' thing already. Yep]

That's good. Teams usually work better when everyone can get along.

[redsea]

Yeah! [ Teams, friendship, kyaaa. ] And everyone is really nice! Especially Tatara.

[juneshero]

Tatara... That's the guy that helped you out with the tablet before, right? He seemed cool.

But look at that! You've made loads of friends already. A whole gang even. [Yosuke no] I should probably get out more. [Yosuke no]

[redsea]

[ He can see her face go from "happy" to "I need an adult," the transition is pretty fun to watch. ]

Yosuke... are they really a gang?

[juneshero]

Huh? [in which Yosuke can't read the mood]

It sounds like a gang? But you called it a 'clan' right? [thoughtful] That Tatara guy sounded pretty all right, so they're probably not all bad.

So it's probably fine.

[hey, Kanji was a street punk and he still turned out okay. :'> ]

[redsea]

It is fine! Don't speak ill of HOMRA!

[ wow so defensive. Maybe she's in denial. Maybe she just doesn't want to hear bad things about her friends, gosh! ]

[juneshero]

[he holds his hands in front of himself]

Sorry, sorry! I was just saying...!

[redsea]

Yes, well... I don't want to hear it again.

[ She skates ahead, but stops after some distance to wait for him. ]

Did you have one of those back home? A group of friends.
