Everyone got the same call-- and now we're all stuck in HQ with no hint of release in sight.

The reason? No one knows.

How are you coping?

Yeah. Maybe I'll drill Sora about it when he comes back to see what the deal is. Maybe we can start putting the pieces together after that...

[He thinks. That's the only thing they could do right now, right?]

If you find something out, you should tell me. I'll see what I can find out too.

[dishevelment]

[A nod.]

All right-- and the same applies to you, so long as you can keep things quiet. We don't want too many people becoming alarmed because of everything that's happening.

[The words felt strangely like an order, even to his ears. Never being one to take the spotlight or center stage, such a notion felt strange to him.

...And strangely similar to the militant nature of his odd dreams.]

[punchesyu]

No offense or anything, but if this is happening to a lot of people, I'd say there's already enough people alarmed.

[But he's just being himself. He sighs- this entire situation is confusing. It's annoying because he doesn't understand what's going on, but they've got to figure it out. Somehow.]



But okay, I'll keep things quiet on my end. Let's do what we can for now. Hopefully more clues will turn up.

[dishevelment]

None taken. I've just found that the best way to keep people from panicking is acting like there's nothing wrong.

[Because the words 'don't panic' on their own has a known correlation with inciting panic within the population, and the last thing they all need is to be soothing people's worried minds with pointless little white lies.]

I'm sure more clues will turn up. One of my contacts in this investigation is also missing-- and I await to hear what they'll say when they turn up again.

[There was no need to give the details about the nature of the collaboration-- that would just unnecessarily muddle the picture, and perhaps tip his own hand too early.]

[punchesyu]

[He personally can't wait for Sora to return so he can get some information out of him. He nods to Koumei on that point.]

Don't stress yourself out so much over this that you end up giving yourself lung cancer, okay?

[He's just reminding Koumei, though Yosuke could probably take his own advice about stressing out.]

[dishevelment]

The better thing to say would be 'try to get some sleep.'

[He yawned then, as if to punctuate those words.]

But you take care too. Stress will only cloud our mind and affect our performance.

[After all, the show must always go on.]

[punchesyu]

Yeah, I guess you're right. Oh, you ready for the flashmob event we're putting on? I think that's supposed to be happening soon.

[Now that he thinks about performing and sleeping well enough not to bomb it on stage.]

[dishevelment]

Yosuke.

[A beat.]

I'm the pianist for Cosmic Indulgence. I'm always ready to hit the keys.

[punchesyu]

Woah-ho, sorry I even asked.

[He throws his hands up in front of him in mock fright, grinning back at Koumei.]

Guess I'll see you at the venue then, if I don't talk to you before that.
