I'm not a word, I'm not a line-

[kickymeat]

Characters: Chie Satonaka and you!
Setting: Everywhere or in the hallway near her room.
Format: Either works for me.
Summary: Chie finds herself waking up in a strange place, a place which is most certainly not the Amagi Inn. She is a little confused. Thus suspicious wandering ensues and kicking. Lots of kicking.
Warnings: Kicking, comedic violence, overreactions, potential angst, the power of friendship.

She had expected to wake up to the familiar feeling of well worn blankets and sounds of Amagi Inn bustling in the early morning. It on par with her own home in the morning, it almost relaxing to listen to when she first woke up. Chie instead found herself laying on a bed, stiff and unable to move. Panic swelling through her as her mind darted through the possibilities of how she was here.

Needlessly to say, it left Chie a little confused and angry. The letter did little to really comfort her, only bring up more questions. The brunette scrambling into her clothes, sliding her glasses on before stomping out of the room. She warily poking around, torn between wanting to see someone she knew here or just wanting to lurch her way through the hallways. Chie just hoped the letter was a lie- that they were somehow in the TV world. She almost wanted this to be some overly elaborate trick. The thought of everything she, they all knew, being gone just made the sixteen year old feel queasy. She was doing her best not to dwell on it as she glanced around, adjusting her glasses with a frown across her features.

> Do you approach a leery Chie?

[Oh hi there awkward position. Yosuke has a dumbfounded look on his face, because he's not sure what do. This was months ago for him and... shit]

Yeah... yeah, I remember!

[Maybe he can get lucky and play it off]

[kickymeat]

[For Chie it was a few hours ago. So she's just SORT OF LOST here.

So awkward pause time as Chie wonders what even is her life.]

What, do you remember last?

[princeofjunes]

[Is he even supposed to answer that? What if time paradox? So instead he tries to lie in a horribly unconvincing fashion]

Uh, nothing major, just you know... a few days after the culture festival!

[kickymeat]

[This is already a time paradox, you both divided by zero. Everything is over.

Chie doesn't believe the lie, at all.]

...Yosuke, if I'm going to be here- I want to know. I can't just be- clueless.

[princeofjunes]

[Dammit, they bad ended already?]

[... dammit Chie you never make things easy]

Okay, okay. The last major thing I remember is everyone meeting at the train station to send Yu off.

[kickymeat]

[Yes, 40 years of darkness, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.]

...Seriously? [Well, if that isn't a punch in the gut.] ..Wow. I, missed a lot.

[princeofjunes]

[The end times, oh god!]

[No but seriously Chie, he feels bad. Those months were some of the most important times of their lives, and to miss them completely...]

... yeah. I-

I'm sorry, Chie.

[kickymeat]

[Chie is just conflicted, her expression pretty clearly sad and confused.]

Its.. not like you made this happen, you know.

[princeofjunes]

I know, I just...

[WHY IS HE SO BAD AT THESE THINGS]

[Yu would know what to say. Yosuke just feels awkward]

... yeah.

Look, I've been here the longest of us, so if you need anything you can ask me. Alright?

[kickymeat]

[Because he is Yosuke. He and Chie share the power of AWKWARD.] How long have you been here?

..I will.

[She hesitates before stepping a little closer. Spoiler: Yosuke is getting a hug in t-minus two seconds.]

[princeofjunes]

About five mo-

[Okay, so most people would have seen that coming. But he's Yosuke, and she's Chie, and... are they allowed to have moments like this?]

[But confusion aside, he'll still return the hug, however brief it is, before continuing his answer]

About five months, now.

[kickymeat]

[His answer just earns a squeeze before Chie pulls away. She willing to forget their usual bickering and flailing for showing she cares about her friend.]

Five months- I... [She can't even manage to form a coherent sentence expressing what she's feeling at that.]

I- damn it. This place is stupid. [She gives a small frustrated sort of stomp of disapproval.]

[princeofjunes]

[He wont admit it out loud but there's something adorable comforting about Chie's stomp of disapproval and he can't help but crack a smile]

Yeah, it is. That's the best way to describe it.

Only in a place this stupid could we be stuck here with Izanami.

[Oh wait, did he forget to mention that?]

[kickymeat]

[She resists her urge to stomp again just re=summarizing her feelings on the issue.] It's- really stupid.

[Chie you word smith, you.

Okay, that warrants a pause and confused blink.] ...What?

[princeofjunes]

[Chie, why were you never captain of the debate team?]

[Yosuke flinches slightly when he realizes how large of an omission he's accidentally made, then swears inwardly when he realizes she doesn't even know about that yet. Oops!]

Uh... well, I can explain, but... you know, spoilers? Do you really want to know your own future?

[kickymeat]

[She busied herself with kicking ALL THE THINGS, gosh, Yosuke. A girl has priorities.]

Yosuke- I'd rather know than not have any idea whats going on. [She rests her hands on her hips and gives him a look.] I don't really care about 'spoilers'.

[princeofjunes]

[Crap. He got the look. No way out now]

[So with a sigh, Yosuke proceeds]

Okay, okay. Long story short, Izanami is a crazy goddess who was behind pretty much everything that happened in Inaba. She wasn't the killer, but she set everything up.

[kickymeat]

[No escape unless he wants a kick.]

...What.

Why- [All of her confusion, everywhere. She's just processing the words for a few more moments before stumbling through words even further.] Why would she even-

This is.

Weird.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah... I know it's a lot to process.

[And while he's tempted to tell her about Adachi... one heart attack at a time. And that's not one he should break alone]

Look, we can get you caught up on everything you missed eventually. It's probably more important to get used to the tower first.

Did you have your oatmeal yet?

[kickymeat]

More than a- lot.

[Save the brain break for later. Chie is still trying to understand the goddess thing.] Yeah- that's true. I, really want to know a little more about, all of this.

..Oatmeal? Uhm, no.

[princeofjunes]

[They'll have to have one big brainbreak party. 'The First Annual Everything You Know is Wrong Party']

It tastes like crap, but if you try to eat anything else first you get sick as hell. So save the steak for a bit.
