[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!!!!

*shrug* Okay. ...You have a sandwich wrapper in your hair.

[duuuuuuude]

[Which he is promptly yanking out of his hair and throwing to the ground.]

Er... that was pretty lame too, wasn't it...

[breatheinthefog]

*"Lame". John uses that word, too. Hm.*

I suppose.

*Kaoru is incompatible with the notion of tact.*

[duuuuuuude]

[Now Yosuke's just going to rub the back of his head and laugh nervously. He can't really think of how to respond to that so he'll just cover that up through laughter.]

[breatheinthefog]

You are new.

[duuuuuuude]

I can't remember being here before.. so yeah, I guess I am.

[breatheinthefog]

It's a mysterious place. What do you know?

[duuuuuuude]

['I know the trash cans are vicious murderers!']

I know jack.

[breatheinthefog]

Your contact list comprises the names of others who were abducted. All others on this island are civilians and generally pointless.

[duuuuuuude]

My contact list?

[Oh, perfect time to mention that Yosuke still hasn't noticed the device fell out of his pocket.]

[breatheinthefog]

*points at the phone B|* Pick that up.

[duuuuuuude]

[> Your Quirkiness has increased!]

Ah!

[Okay so now he quickly scrambles to pick it up, and finally ends up seeing what she meant by 'contact list.']

...Oh! This should help a ton!

[Are you prepared to become Yosuke's surrogate Narukami, Kaoru?]

[breatheinthefog]

Yes. Everyone on the list is a captive. All here for presumably the same reason.

[duuuuuuude]

Wait, captive? So we're all prisoners or something?

[breatheinthefog]

Probably. *Shrug.*

[duuuuuuude]

W-Wait, I was just joking! I didn't seriously mean that!

[breatheinthefog]

*headtilt* Say what you mean.

The ones responsible are mysterious. They mock us on rare occasions. Usually, the only thing that sets us apart is that we experience the Dark Hour.

[duuuuuuude]

The... Dark Hour?

[And this is Yosuke, like hell he'll say what he means.]

[breatheinthefog]

You'll see.

[duuuuuuude]

H-Hey! Can't you just give me a straight answer?

[breatheinthefog]

You won't.

[duuuuuuude]

Of course I will! Go on, ask me anything.

[breatheinthefog]

...What's the purpose of stuffed animals.

[duuuuuuude]

Stuffed animals? Those are like those bears you win at festivals and give to your girlfriend, aren't they?

[breatheinthefog]

...so, if you win a stuffed animal and then give it to someone, that person is your girlfriend.

Is it the same if you give it to a boy? Is he then your girlfriend?
