[action; 3:00 PM]

[With no why or how he got here and the last thing he remembered a bit fuzzy, Yosuke had stumbled around asking random passerby for information. Did it help? Not in the least. In fact, it only made him even more confused. But, that's why he just put on that fake smile of his and went along being his obnoxious self to only further hide his nervousness. After moving from place to place for a good while, some time in the afternoon you'll find the teen sitting down against one of the hotel's walls. He has his knees bent and pressed to his chest rather lazily, his hands behind his head, and his eyes closed.]

Man... just where the hell am I?

[video/audio; 7:00 PM]

[Some later time, at night, the loud sound of a trash can rolling to and fro can be heard in Prospero's evening glow. The person inside of the trash can? One Yosuke Hanamura. At first, he had just been spacing out and trying to run back to the hotel. Somewhere between a turn and a skip, he collided with and subsequently got stuck inside of a trash can. A lucky (?) turn of events, however, was that his device had been knocked from his pocket and now lays there on the ground getting a good amount of video for the rest of Prospero to see. Loud yells, which can at times be made out as 'Help!' and 'I'm stuck!' strike the audio feature of the device, albeit muffled by the trash can. C'mon, Prospero. Help a dork out.]

[action; 12:00 AM]

[Why yes, that is in fact Yosuke Hanamura running through the streets of Prospero with what can only be described as a face of utter horror. What had started out as basic curiosity toward the coffins standing up around Prospero has now turned into a full out chase by two low level Shadows. Are there tears from Yosuke's eyes? Yup. Two, one in each eye in fact. With no idea what is going on, and feeling like he's running for his very life, Yosuke lets out a scream that could damn well be heard by the majority of Prosero.]

GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! I DON'T WANNA DIEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[Hiro runs over to the source of the noise! It sounds exactly like a friend of his too. He'll jump out from an ally way and grab Yosuke to pull him inside of it.

... Then proceed to slap him in the face.] Snap out of it, Daichi!

[Action; 12:00 AM]

[duuuuuuude]

[Yes, because the guy that is overtaken with fear and who has now been yanked into a dark alley by a mysterious stranger is definitely going to calm down.]

W-Woah!

[...Of course then came the slap. Which did jolt him a little.]

H-Hey man, what the heck are you doing?! And who's Daichi?!

[Action; 12:00 AM]

[theshiningone]

[He'll take a moment to staaaaaare him in the eyes.]

Oh... He's a friend of mine. If you had the yellow scarf, you would've been a spitting image of him.

[Action; 12:00 AM]

[duuuuuuude]

[Dude I don't swing that way quit staring at me like that...

...Though, more importantly, those two shadows from before? Kiiiinda found them.

And for comedic effect, Yosuke isn't turning around.]

Well, my name's Yosuke. I'm Yosuke Hanamura.

[action|7 PM]

[breatheinthefog]

...So people are also considered garbage.

[action|7 PM]

[duuuuuuude]

[Well, Yosuke is. Considering he's still rolling around in the trash can trying to get out. A few bangs and a yell of 'Could someone let me out of this thing?!' later...]

[breatheinthefog]

*Congratulations, you poor soul. A thirteen-year-old kid with pale skin and creepy dilated eyes has just picked up the garbage can, turned it upside down, and shaken you out of it.*

...

[duuuuuuude]

[Plop goes the Yosuke, right onto his behind.]

Agh! ...I think I cracked my butt...

[Which he says thinking that he's alone, rubbing at his rear end until his eyes look up at... a thirteen year old girl... who just lifted him and the trash can... and got him out of it...]

What the...

[Action at 3/hotel]

[buildthatwall]

[A grocery bag being shifted in tiny arms heralds the arrival of Zia. Little one bends down to see if Yosuke's okay] Do you need some help?

[Action at 3/hotel]

[duuuuuuude]

[Yosuke's attention is now focused on Zia and he blinks once, a tad bit detached.]

Huh...? Oh. Well, if you could tell me where I am, that'd help a lot.

[In pops one of Yosuke's kindest, but dorkiest smiles. Whether it's real or not, that's a secret, but he can't be a Gloomy Gus around what he assumes is a kid.]

[Action at 3/hotel]

[buildthatwall]

You're at the hotel. Are you lost? I think the people who own the hotel can help you find your room. [Zia shifts her bags] Or are you new too?

[Action at 3/hotel]

[duuuuuuude]

Sort of... Nah, nevermind. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Thanks though.

[puppet_show]

[...She'll just stare for now. This is actually pretty funny to watch!

Hmmm, does this phone have a record option? It's so high tech, it seems like it should.]

7:00

[duuuuuuude]

[OH COME ON, THAT AIN'T COOL MAN.

Since you're just staring, Yosuke's going to keep struggling and kicking (or, rather, trying to kick) to try and free himself.]

7:00

[puppet_show]

[Aw yeeeeah. Record button found. She now is the proud owner of a ten minute clip of Yosuke doing his trashcan rolling thing.]

You know, it would probably be easier to get out if you stopped struggling so much.

[crimsonbells]

[with the way Yosuke's running, it'd be easy for him to miss the small, unassuming girl with dark hair and a dark red kimono, who shrinks out of the way in fright at his scream. Even as she's scared of him, though, a strange creature that looks like a dog with a few... tweaks bounds out from behind her and takes out those two Shadows following Yosuke.

Whether or not he finds the dog-demon more frightening than the Shadows remains to be seen. >>]

[duuuuuuude]

[At first, Yosuke has no clue the Shadows behind him were taken out.

But, once an odd feeling washes over him, he decides to turn around and see what's going on.

Ho...

ly...

Shit.]

W-What the hell...

[Yosuke stands there, unable to move, staring with a mix of awe and fear toward the towering dog-demon. Everything in Yosuke's brain is telling him to run away, but for some reason his legs aren't processing those signals.]

[ Sheryl was certainly enjoying this. She hadn't laughed this much since she arrived to Prospero.

Sorry, she is not being very helpful right now. She was having trouble even trying to talk because of the hilarity. ]

video; 7:00 PM

[duuuuuuude]

[Not that Yosuke's really helping any, considering the more time passes, the more obnoxious his ways of trying to get out of the 'can are.]

Hellooooooo?! Anyone out there?!

video; 7:00 PM

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Well, since he showed her something funny --- she felt it would be alright to give the poor guy a hand.

Maybe. ]

Tell me where you are and maybe I can help you.

[antiviolence]

[Trash can, ye say? Trash can?

Because let's just say there's a pick-pocketing somewhere near Yosuke's 'dying' spot and Shizuo happens to chase the said thief. Since he's injured on the head and he can barely run, he does the best thing he could do: Grab a trash can and throw it at the thief. Yeah, that trash can is where the poor Yosuke's stuck.

The trash can will hit the thief with a loud THUD. Let's just pray you doesn't get major injury from the impact.]

7:00 PM / Also, I can't breathe this is amazing.

[duuuuuuude]

[Once Yosuke was lifted up, he felt someone had finally answered his cries for help.

But wait...

Wait...

WOAH WAIT WHAT WHY IS HE FLYING TOWARD SOMETHING?!

WHAM!!!

The collision of one Yosuke filled trashcan and one idiotic thief rocks the teenager's body like crazy, and once the trashcan hits the ground he recoils backward out of it. If the pain running through his body let him move, he'd complain and start shouting at Shizuo, but all he can do right now is lay on his face and chest and groan in pain.]

[not_the_dreck]

[It was hard enough getting his own practice in. He was usually so absorbed with his personal life that he didn't get much of a chance with his Persona. Losing Luke hadn't exactly improved his mood either. Now there was some idiot running around at night like a complete moron? Didn't anyone explain this place to him?]

Oy, moron! Over here!

[At least whatever it was that was chasing the idiot would give Thanatos some free shots while it was busy trying to eat the kid.]

[Action; 12 AM]

[duuuuuuude]

[Like a dog back to it's owner, Yosuke quickly runs as fast as he can in the direction of the shout. He's still got fearful tears in his eyes and once he gets a bit past Asch, he quickly throws himself down into a squat with both hands/arms covering his head as best they can.]

[Action; 12 AM]

[not_the_dreck]

[Asch didn't pay attention to him once he ran past, instead focusing in summoning Thanatos. The creepy Persona with the cloak of coffins sprang into existence, lashing out at the Shadows that had been pursuing him.]

[Only when he was sure the Shadows were dead did Asch turn around... and let out an exasperated sound.]

Don't hide behind me like a coward! Get up!
