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. ]

Well it's pretty simple! All you need is a death ray and that'll do the job, you know?

[Oh she thinks Chie asked how she'd be able to do it, not why would she do it.]

[Have a lock.]

He left the next morning without a word. He may not be the Yu-kun we know but it still makes me worried.

[princessofheart]

[Lesson number one: there is a difference between doubles of people and clones, Chie.]

...You don't want to hang out with your friend?

[This makes no sense to Kairi what]

As for if they'll get along, it really depends on the circumstances.

Senpai! ...what d'you mean by that?

[Slow on the uptake...to be fair he hasn't met the other Yosuke and Souji...]

[testsubject031]

Y-yeah, that's me! It's Labrys, if they didn't tell ya.

I dunno, this is the first time I've seen you here.

[Considering what had happened at the tower, Miki felt this situation was a little too familiar...]

Well...that I have or haven't doesn't really matter, but both of them are your friends, right? What they know and don't know isn't important; my Senpai once said that friendships can transcend even lifetimes...or I suppose in this case, universes.

[nyxterious]

Sorry! Maybe once I learn more about it, I could fill you in.

And that's the point, isn't it? To get to know you? That's why I'm asking you on a date!

[Haseo waves blankly at the screen upon seeing and deciding to answer.]

Yo. I've met another me here. [She looks around and leans in conspiratorially, cupping her hand over her mouth in the old "don't want the walls to hear" way.] Just between you and me, I'm pretty sure the other me is a guy, too. Their voice sounds completely different, and it's probably not a cold at this rate.

[....HASEO...]

[celebrity_commentator]

I guess it couldn't hurt.

Well, I personally have several backups of myself that are updated at staggered intervals in order to protect against potential data corruption... but you mean in cases of organic beings, right? I've read fiction about that sort of thing.

Anyway, as for steak suggestions - there are many restaurants with many different cooking styles scattered throughout Hinoto-ri! How do you prefer yours cooked?

[all_wound_up]

How is that even possible?

[feminine_carnivore]

I guess so..

[ Dammit, why is she even thinking about this?! Minako already said he asked everyone out like this, but it's not everyday that someone calls Chie cute, and much much rarer to actually be asked on a date.. ]

I-If I agree, then we have to go somewhere with really really good steak, or I won't go at all!

[ Sorry Minako-chan, Chie's carnivore got the better of her.. ]

[feminine_carnivore]

I-I don't think he's a copy, I think they're just from different worlds or something!

No, no, no! I can't be the copy though, I'm the real me! I already went through all that!

[feminine_carnivore]

I saw a friend of mine in Junes the other day, but he definitely wasn't the same one I saw just a bit earlier. They look mostly the same, but they have completely different memories!

[feminine_carnivore]

[ See, that's exactly the kind of thing she needs to know! Kung Fu movies and fighting Shadows didn't exactly prepare her for all this mind screwing stuff. ]

No, I mean, I don't know! He's a jerk sometimes and he says the stupidest things I've ever heard, but.. [ Jeez, she's so tsun sometimes and she doesn't even know it. ]

[feminine_carnivore]

WHAT?! First of all that totally isn't even a real thing! And if it were I still wouldn't use it on any Yosuke, no matter how much of a pervert he is!

You are not helping at all!

[feminine_carnivore]

Yeah, that must be it! [ Sorry Nanako, maybe someone will explain to you all this mess, but Chie is still confused enough as it to suddenly dump it on her. ]

I sure it's just Yosuke being an idiot!

[feminine_carnivore]

[ This seems similar to Chie and her Hanamura problem, so she's going to try her best to be accommodating to Labrys who seems to know her from some future and/or alternate world. ]

Well, if there were two of me, I don't think the city's beef supplies would last very long.

I just wonder, if I'm really the me that you know..it's all really hard!

[Private]

[feminine_carnivore]

Really? So he and Yosuke are both afraid of us? Is that is? I don't understand. I just want to find that Yosuke and hold him down until he explains everything!

[video]

[feminine_carnivore]

Ah..I see..

[ It looks like Chie is actually going to take him up on it. It's not everyday a boy actually shows interest in her! She is a girl after all, no matter how sometimes she wonders.. ]

That would be great! I want to try every place that sells steak in the whole city! I-I mean, I want to try it all eventually.

[feminine_carnivore]

[ Chie's seen MMO's before, but she's not a fan, and hardly knows anything about them. ]

That sounds really complicated. But atleast you guys are friends! I don't know how I would be able to handle anything like that..

[feminine_carnivore]

D-Dead?! You died and came back?!

[video]

[greatseal]

[she laughs.] The whole city will take a while, but we have plenty of time.

...And if you do decide to go with Ryoji too, get him to pay for your steak. [Boys have their benefits, after all. It'd be a shame to ignore them.]

[feminine_carnivore]

There's two Yosukes! Well, I think there is anyway! I saw a Yosuke at Junes the other day that didn't even remember us all saving Nanako-chan together.

[ It's really hard to explain, but she's trying her best! ]

[Video]

[feminine_carnivore]

Wow, I never thought of that. I suppose, even after finding out about him I still do want to be friends with him, as stupid as he is. I just don't know why he seems to be avoiding me..

[ And when she does finally find him there will be some pain on his end.. ]
