March 13th, Afternoon, Video

[For a moment, Fuuka let out a small sigh as she was trying to figure out how to use the communicator]

Um, this is on? If so, I would like to ask, if there is anyone from my homeworld here? If not, then I would like to ask if there is anyone else who knew me? It seems...that I have met a lot of people here before and I have been here more than once but...

[Pause]

I'm sorry that I don't remember any of it. However, maybe we can start over again? I would like to ask what happened during my um....previous stay here.

[Another pause. What else could she say next? Let's see here...]

...To the people I haven't met before, my name is Fuuka Yamagishi and it seems that I am a weapon. I'm not sure what it is but if anyone is willing to tell me what it is, please let me know!

It's okay! I can teach you how the communicator works later!

But yes, I'm at the casualty communal. I'm on the first floor, room D.

[There was no reply from Junpei for a while, but there would be a knock at the door.]

Fuuka-chan?

[The door opens without fanfare.]

This is the Yamagishi Residence... How may I help you?

[...]

Minato-kun, I don't think it's nice to tease him like that.

...

[For a few seconds, all Junpei could do was stare.]

[This guy... he was dead, wasn't he? Junpei had accepted for the most part that Minato was gone, more then likely for good. It was wrong and cruel and not fair, but he'd done his best to accept that.]

[But now, as the blue haired teen stood before him... Junpei couldn't decide if he wanted to cry, faint, hug him or punch him square in the face.]

D-damnit...

[And he took a step or two forward into the room, half to hide himself from anyone in the hallway who could see as he hugged the smaller teen.]

Damnit, Minato, you asshole... I-I... W-we missed you!

[He was half laughing, half crying... not caring if Fuuka saw him like this. She knew what they all went through, she'd understand and wouldn't judge him for a reaction like this, right? When he pulled back from the hug, and looked over at Fuuka, he let out a shakey laugh, shaking his head.]

I-it's alright, Fuuka-chan. Helps us tell it's really him, right?

[He gave her a big grin, even if his eyes were wet and his cheeks a bit red. Damnit, he was such a baby sometimes, but after all the shit that happened... this was good, wasn't it? He was allowed to do this once in a while.]

Hi Junpei... [Minato gives his best friend the ol' one-two pat on the back.]

You're late. [His private inside joke... and almost automatic by now. Have another pat, Junpei. There there...]

He then gives Fuuka a sideward look.] I guess this means he's from the same time you're from...

[With that hug, Fuuka couldn't help but smile sadly. A part of her was thinking that she and Junpei had been here before but it must hurt to know that they don't remember their time here. However, another part of her was just so happy...]

Yes, I believe so...

Or else he wouldn't react the way he did...[Now she's tempted to hug Minato again]

H-heh, sorry man... but better late then never, right~?

[Junpei sniffled a little, rubbing his eyes with his shirt sleeve... but then finally, Minato's and Fuuka's exchange finally clicked in his mind... along with Kanji's own explination about the timelines.]

[Shit, shit shit shit shit shit...]

W-wait, so you mean y-you could be from 'earlier'...! Argh!

[He let go of Minato, looking horrified and holding his head.]

D-did I just pull a time paradox?! Is it gonna get all Metal Gear Solid 3 on our asses here?! Damnit, my big mouth...!

[If he just accidentally caused their world back home to implode, he was in so much shit...]

Since we can't go home now, we might as well settle down here...

[Yup, Minato is still the same as ever]

Um, I don't think so? I have heard that once we come here, our world doesn't get affected at all. ...We even might lose our memories here so...yes, perhaps it would be best to settle down here!

H-how can ya be so calm 'bout it, Minato!?

[Yeah, it was definitely him. Junpei was getting the urge to shake him...]

[He glanced up at Fuuka as she spoke, relief coming on his face.]

Oh, so... so I didn't cause shit to happen right there? That's a relief-- but what, lose our memories 'here'? Whatcha mean by that?

[Junpei really didn't want to lose his memory again, thank you very much!]

Alright, alright, just to get things clear... what's the last thing you remember before comin' here? Like...where you all coming from? It was just uh...

[He glanced at Minato, then looked down.]

Just after this guy's funeral for me... near the end of the month of March.

[The corner of his mouth lifts with amusement.]

Ah... I was watching a big black dog... [Technically correct.]

Um, just that when you go back, you don't remember your time here. [Pause]...I don't remember my time here either so it could happen again.

[And then it takes an extra long pause from Fuuka. Should she dare say what happened in the Abyss of Time?] It was the end of March for me to.

[Then her attention went back to Minato] Wait, what big black dog?

Oh, so... I guess that explains yer 'if I knew you before' message thing.

[Ahahahah Junpei had sort of just hit reply as soon as he saw you post. He didn't take the whole thing in.]

I wonder if anyone knew 'nother me...?

[He noticed the pause though... was something wrong? He tilted his head at Fuuka as she replied, brow furrowing. She was a lousy liar, but... Maybe he shouldn't press it right now.]

The hell, a dog?

[Fortunately for Fuuka, Minato always was a good distraction!]

[Minato just shrugs about the dog.]

There was an Other Me before here too... One other Fuuka, and two other Junpei.

[And this will be a good distraction.] My Other Me was a girl... and dating Aragaki-senpai.

Goodness, that's a lot of different versions of u-

[Wait...what]

Wait, a...girl version...dating Shinjiro-senpai? [Mostly because Shinjiro? Dating someone? No idea how well that will work out]

Two of me? And I hope none of them caused too much shi--

[Give him a second as that last bit of information processes... and he jumps back, staring wide eyed at Minato.]

W-what the?! You as a chick?! Dating Shinjiro-senpai?!

[His thoughts were jumbled, a mix of 'a chick Minato?! Shinjiro-senpai is dead! Shinjiro-senpai actually had a libido?! What the hell?!' Seems like he's bluescreening a bit.]

C-c'mon, NOW you're just trollin' us!

But it's true... [He puts on a pout of "Why don't you believe me?"] You can ask my sister about it.

You have a sister too?

Y-You mean your um...girl version of yourself? [Wait] Is she here with us right now?

[Fuuka's world exploded]

A sister? I thought you were an only child, like me...

[He paused for a moment, blinking.]

I mean, I know that partner of yours looks a crapload like you, but he's a guy, isn't he--

[Annnnd Junpei's brain exploded.]

...I-isn't he? O-or are you talkin' about your other... uh, me, self... argh, my head hurts too much for this crap!

Other Me isn't here anymore. Aragaki-senpai is gone too. Naoto-chan is a family secret... but you're allowed to know because we're friends. [It's easy to have family secrets when you're an orphan.]

Edited 2012-08-13 00:24 (UTC)

[In which Fuuka raises an eyebrow]

Um...thank you? But how is Naoto-san your sister?

Oh goddamn, she was a chick...

[Yeah, Junpei's letting that just... swim in his head a bit. But he'd turn to Fuuka and explain as much as he could.]

Cause they look alike. When I went to get scanned to figure out if I was a Weapon or Miester I saw hi--her there, and thought it was Minato. Took me a second to realise it wasn't.

[He paused a moment, snapping his fingers]

Plus, you two live together, right? Cuz you're partners.

[He nods at Junpei, then goes back to cock his head at Fuuka's question.] ... How?
