[Having come from 1999 and from a very traditional dad, Eikichi's usage of this technology is passable at best. He's on video but he's clearly typing his letters with only two fingers very slowly. He's even saying the words as he is typing.]

new guy michel here babes

weird question but what year is it 4 u? i know not everyone is from the same time but i ask cause i shouldnt remember some stuff like cults and mayans and robot nazis which probably sounds weird but i promise this is all true 4 me at least

also my persona are still around just as confused too but my friends are not or at least i cant sense them if youve met people called tatsuya or jun or lisa lemme know please

thank u

[When he's done he frowns and seems to be looking at other posts, muttering about how they 'are able to make larger letters', then starts to move around his apartment thinking he's 'done' and it has magically turned itself off. Stop him, or just let it happen?]

[dj_jiraiya]

Telling the truth, bro. It’s really 2012. I can’t tell you what changed though. Robot nazis weren’t a thing that I remember?

[dj_jiraiya]

a little long unfortunately, but thats pretty clever!

most are like... the common ones

btw = by the way, fyi = for your information, stuff like.

anyway i'm almost there!

[Sure enough, it's a few more minutes as Yosuke rounds the corner and finds the number, knocking shortly after.]

[deathboss]

i can tell

[The feed is still on as he opens the door to greet him. And oh god this guy is tall and looks like he just stepped out of a goth concert. At least his clothes had been cleaned and there wasn't blood on them anymore.]

Hey.

[Despite it all he seems pretty nice?]

[dj_jiraiya]

[You know, if he wasn't already used to Kanji, he would probably be a lot more shocked. Although the make up totally made him pause for a moment because... wow, he did not expect that. At all.

But he got over it with a blinked.]

H-Hi. Sorry, anyway, yeah, see I exist.

[He couldn't help the sheepish laugh. What exactly do you do when proving you're from 2012 anyway?]

[deathboss]

[Then try to expect this because Eikichi will give him the manliest of brohugs and oh dear, there goes his makeup.]

Y-yeah! I-I'm so glad you know...it means we managed to make it work...

[It takes a few more seconds before he puts him down.]

I can tell you're telling the truth...if feels so nice...

[dj_jiraiya]

Wh-Oh... Oh okay, we're uh... we're really doin' this...

[That sure was a brohug. Wait, was he... crying?! Yosuke's cheeks were already flushed from the unexpected hug but now there was some awkward patting of the big guy's back.]

U-Um... I don't exactly know what you mean but uh... you're welcome?

[Once Eikichi let's him down (geez, this guy gave Kanji a run for his money in the height department), Yosuke looked a little shell-shocked but otherwise he just blinked in confusion.]

You uh... you gonna be okay?

[deathboss]

Oh are you one of the types who hates hugs? I'm sorry bro.

[He laughs, running a hand behind his neck then looks at him, drying up his tears again.]

I-i'll be fine. It's just...I wasn't sure if it was going to work but...i-if you're here talking to me, it means the future happened.

[dj_jiraiya]

U-Um, I mean they aren't bad...

[He sort of mumbles this as he looks away.]

Just not used to it still. [He rubbed the back of his neck and finally looked back up at Eikichi. He gave a smile, a genuine one despite the awkward feelings.] I'm glad I can give you some hope then, even if it's just me standing here.

[deathboss]

[Well that's not a reaction he expected, so Eikichi just briefly snickers before going on. He's in a great mood knowing there's a future now. Eat your heart out, Nyarlathtrotep.]

Don't worry then, I'll be gentle, bro. [Sorry Yosuke. The teasing doesn't appear to have any nefarious behind it, at least.] I wish my friends were here to see this too. Maybe one day they'll show up as well...that would be nice. So! Bro, you gotta tell me about the future! Tell Michel about this world too!

[dj_jiraiya]

[He just makes it too easy to tease and aside from a minor pout and unamused look, he let's it slide.]

Uh, well, that's... hm, that's kind of a long story, I guess? The future, I mean, I was only like... 6 in 1999 after all.

[He gestures to inside the doorway though.]

Do you... mind if I come in? Probably better to talk about this while not just standing in a doorway. Or we can go somewhere, doesn't really matter.

[deathboss]

[It's so weird to think this guy is so much in his future.]

Well okay. Maybe something that's cut back I guess. We aren't getting younger just standing here, after all.

[He opens the door for him so loudly it nearly falls from the hinges. The place is still being furnished but it's got some warmed to it.]

Please make yourself at home, bro!

[dj_jiraiya]

[Yosuke almost jumped at how loud the door was opened. Dude, take it easy! And then, when he stepped inside, he was surprised by how... loud it was. So much color! He forgot you could do that in these places. But he wasn't gonna judge the guy.

He found the couches at least and once he got his shoes off, he made his way over and sat down. He thought about where to start after 1999.]

Well, I guess if we wanna compare like... Persona stuff, I got mine in 2011 but there had been some stuff happened in Iwatodai as well. I'm from Inaba. I don't know the whole story of what went down in Iwatodai but I think they'd been dealing with Personas for a few years, the stuff in Inaba that I dealt with with my friends only lasted about a year.

[There was the hint they'd all gotten with Izanami, that she'd been doing her schtick for decades now but whatever changed this time around was escalated things with the fog.]

But I think before that nothing much really happened? Just that time moved on, you know?

[deathboss]

[Sorry, Eikichi is just that Extra. Extra as the iced tea he brings into a neon plastic cup. It's barley tea.]

No idea where those two places are....Iwatodai I think I've heard of before, but Inaba...uh which prefecture? Huh a year. We were only using em for less than a week, technically.

[Shit hit the fan pretty fast.]

Yeah...glad to know time moved on at all, honestly.

[dj_jiraiya]

[He named the prefecture for both of the areas.]

Well, we were trying to solve a serial murder case and it just ended up taking roughly a year for us. Not a full year but nearly there.

[he nodded as he sipped the tea, leaning against the couch arm.]

Yeah, for sure. I guess I wouldn't have been around if it wasn't for you guys. Although I guess I'm surprised Izanami even let it happen, she's the Goddess behind the whole mess at Inaba.
