First Trial of the Dragon! [video]

[feminine_carnivore]

Heeeey, is this thing even on? How am I supposed to even tell if it's on?

[ It's definitely on, and Chie's on camera. Just your average short haired, kung fu loving steak addict. ]

Listen up! I have a question I totally need answered.

Has anyone ever seen two copies of people? Like, there's one, who knows everything you know, and then another who doesn't?

[ Chie's not exactly a wordsmith, she's better at kicking people. ]

Oh, and does anyone know where I can get the best steak in the city? This is very important, I haven't had anything as good as Aiya's beef bowl since I got here!

[ Maybe some manly boxer will be able to point her in the right direction. ]

[Not...everything. Besides, she hasn't even told her about that costume she has in her closet!]

Um...maybe we should focus on the second Yosuke-kun in the city...

[1500lives]

[...the bathroom? Really, Yosuke? That was the worst escape cover he'd ever heard.]

maybe his bladder exploded?

i guess he would be your best bet, then. is he from inaba too?

[Casually trying to get info about his other self, don't mind him, doot doot doo...]

not here at all

[1500lives]

[DAMNIT]

[spaztastic]

It's actually a pretty common thing here...

[feminine_carnivore]

Someone created him..? [ She hadn't thought of that, but it's definitely not what she wants to believe. She may want to beat up Yosuke, but she doesn't want to think that he's a copy and somehow replaceable.. ]

How do I know if he's a copy? How do I know I'm not a copy?!

[feminine_carnivore]

W-W-Well I definitely don't want to know then!!

[feminine_carnivore]

I-I'm not a weirdo, you're the weirdo who's talking about my friend melting and stuff! How could you?! [ She will never admit that she actually called Yosuke her friend twice in a row. ]

[feminine_carnivore]

[ What else would you expect from Yosuke, no matter when he came from. ]

Ew! I hope not. Even so, I'm certain he ditched me. I could tell he was gonna do something, I should have stopped him..

No, he's from the big city. Just came out to stay with his uncle. Wait, why are you asking about him?

[feminine_carnivore]

Hey you're...you're the robot who knows all of us, right? [ Let's just say Chie and Yukiko gossip about everything. ]

I mean, I don't know you but you know me, so does there mean there's a version of me in this city that knows you?

Re: [video]

[feminine_carnivore]

Really? I've been so focused on helping out Yukiko and seeing my friends I've barely had enough time to get out.

O-Oh, okay, I was certain he was just joking.. [ Because who would like Chie?! ]

[feminine_carnivore]

Really? I guess I shouldn't really be surprised about something like that after already being teleported across the Universe.

I just don't know how to handle having two Yosuke's...

[trollsdragons]

Well, yes. Copies don't just pop out of nowhere - they take time and effort to make.

[Oh, this is just too great of a reaction. Gotta keep up the pokerface, though!

Xellos rubs his chin a bit, appearing to be struggling to recall.]

I suppose that is the question, isn't it?

[imthegoodguy]

I figured.

Not sure if the situation's exactly what you're asking about, though. Did you mean outside of this world or in this world?

[not_that_scary]

[Wait, more?] There's someone else around here who looks like me and experienced a lot of things that were similar to me, but our circumstances are vastly different. Does that make any sense?

[Voice]

[beautifulmemory]

You've spoken to one of them, by now. Two that are named Haseo, and they both have a very similar smell about them.

[feminine_carnivore]

Like, I met one of friends here, then I met him again, but he was a different person with different memories and everything!

[all_wound_up]

Does that really happen? It's like something out of a TV drama!

[Nano watches a lot of those.]

[feminine_carnivore]

Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Are you two friends? How do you handle who gets to hang out with your other friends? How do you know which one is the real one?? [ If she realizes how awkward or hard the question could be, she would totally be sorry. ]

[feminine_carnivore]

Smell? ...I never thought to smell if this Yosuke was the same.. N-Not that I would even know what the creep smells like!!

Haseo? Did I talk to someone named Haseo? [ Chie's always a little slow on the upkeep.. ]

[feminine_carnivore]

I know, right?! But I swear, I've seen two different Yosuke's! Although not at the same time..

[feminine_carnivore]

[ Everything! No but's! Especially if it's about embarrassing things and about how good of a kisser Yu is. This is important information that must be shared! ]

Oh, right. So there's two Yosuke's and two Yu's...I don't understand, we're still their friend's right? Even we remember different things. Why aren't they contacting us?

[not_that_scary]

[Eyes narrow] We're both real. Just because there's a doppleganger of you walking around doesn't make them less human. She can hang out with my friends if they want, I don't particularly mind. Hell, this is just a player character from an MMO that you're looking at, which makes her body more real than mine.

[Relaxes] But to answer your question, yes, we're friends. We both share the name of Haseo, but since she was actually born with it, and I just use it as my character handle, I instead use my real name of Ryou Misaki.

[feminine_carnivore]

[ No way, this is all super important! there are the kinds of things that matter when dealing with a clone! ]

I mean, it's not like I even wanna hang out with either of them! But, will the two of them even get along?

[beautifulmemory]

Yes, you did. Both, I only met here. I was dead before I could meet them in my world.

[greatseal]

Well, he's not joking... He just does it to everyone. [He really will take you out on a date if you let him.]

Anyway, we should go grab something to eat one afternoon, then! I can show you the places I've checked out.
