Chie, thatβs basically my life.
[He canβt help but deadpan this, tilting his head.]

Wh-! Hey! Youβre not supposed to agree!
[At least pretend to disagree, wouldja!?]
[At least pretend to disagree, wouldja!?]
[Sigh. SIGH. Fine, whatever.]
Anyway, I think itβs about time I get changed. You wanna come with or is Muku still on his walk?

I mean, he did his business already, so I can. [But she's not going to watch!!!]
But...? [Why would you be watching? Heβs not gonna do that in front of her!] You can say no, Iβm not gonna be offended. Just figured we could continue talking after I get cleaned up or something.
[Whenβs the last time they had a meaningful conversation?]
[Whenβs the last time they had a meaningful conversation?]
[Look, she doesn't know! Living on an alien space moon where everything is sexy gives you weird expectations?????
But no. Chill. Just because she going to Yosuke's place, doesn't mean that circumstances will weirdly arrange themselves so that boning happens. She went to Hifumi's place a bunch of times before she finally kissed her.]
Yeah. Okay. That could be nice.
But don't blame me if Muku knocks over any of your stuff.

[And Yosukeβs new!! Besides, Souji is letting him stay for a few days until heβs all sorted out.]
I havenβt been here long enough to have stuff. Partner bought me some clothes already and Iβm spending the night until I get my own place tomorrow so I mean. Itβd be his things Muku would knock over.

Oh. Well, Muku's used to Souji's place anyway. So that's fine.
[Actually, Chie's probably got some spare clothes of her own at Souji's, just in case.]

βI didnβt trick you!β Yosuke laughed, reaching over to poke her cheek. She was definitely adorably pouty. βI also didnβt need the nightmares myself. I can stand horror when thereβs no gore porn, ick.β
Just thinking about it made him shudder. It honestly reminded him too much of Shadows with their gross sounds and weird looks.

The cheek-poking does not calm her grumps.
But the idea of Yosuke having nightmares does. "Awww, I'll protect you from the bad dreams senpai~" She is very much feeling some kinda way in this Chili's tonight.

"I-I'm not having nightmares about that, Rise!" Yosuke laughed with a soft stammer. But then, he caught a little too late just what he said and quickly tried to fix it. "I mean, I'm not having nightmares at all! It's cool!"
She does not believe you. Her turn to poke. "If you do, I'll take care of you~" She giggles. "I'll sing you a lullaby!"
"Rise..." Whine. "I'm fine, promise."
He finally spotted a food stall and tugged her over. "We should sober you up anyway, you gotta be hungry."

[Continued from here]
[Guess with the arrival of another of the Investigation Team also came the arrival of more Phantom Thieves, this one under the codename Queen. It was a little intimidating, Yosuke wasn't going to lie, although he was a little more concern as to why she wanted to talk face to face about Teddie, of all things.
Was it that concerning that he was a Shadow? Maybe? Well, only one way to find out so he headed to the park and waited at one of the picnic tables. Since they'd not met previously, he at least gave her a small description so she knew what to look for. Namely, his bright orange headphones. Hard to miss those.]

[Despite her image online, the girl that appears is short and seemingly demure. She is a bit taller to Chie, a bit closer to Yukiko, and wearing a neat and professional-looking white blouse and black skirt.]
[Spotting Yosuke was indeed fairly easy. The bright orange headphones stood out, even in the bright colors of Prismatica. She moves closer to him, looking around for the sign of anyone else, and confident that he was alone. An old habit that her father taught her when meeting men for the first time.]
Frog, I presume?

Frog, I presume?
[He looks up, pulling the headphones off and resting them around his neck when he sees her. She definitely gives off Yukiko vibes. He's not dressed professionally, he's been in this world long enough to have more clothes that are from this place than home, but he's managed to get things toned down at least so it's not as flashy despite his love of colors.
So, just jeans and a loose orange t-shirt. Despite his codename, green wasn't something he wore often.]
Queen, then? Yup, that's me.
[He gestured to the empty seat.]
I'll try to answer the best I can about Ted.

[She accepts the seat, making a space that is a few inches away from him. Again, unlike how brusque her response are in the log, she actually quite and a bit overly polite.]
Thank you. I'm sorry for calling you out her so quickly. As I said, I am the chief strategist of our group, so it falls to me sometimes to ask questions and gather information. I want to thank you for taking the time.
Specifically, I'm surprised to find out that you have been living with a shadow who did not have any malevolence towards you. We had encountered a few that was convinced to lend Joker their strength, but we never had one that was so open and willing from the beginning. In addition, we had not seen or heard of a shadow that was able to appear beyond palaces and Mementos.
[She looks up at him, realization coming to her face.] Ah, my apologies. Just the idea of Teddie is so unusual that I can't help myself from asking so many questions.
[Hmm...] Perhaps we can start with the beginning? How did you meet?

[He shook his head, waving his hand dismissively at her apology.]
No, it's okay. He's kind of a mystery to us too. I mean, we've learned a lot about him but I there will always be some things that we won't ever find out and not because Ted's hiding anything. Even he doesn't know the whole story about how he exists. He just... sort of is.
[He nods and takes a moment to think back.]
Well, I dunno how you guys eventually found out about the Metaverse and Mementos but we found the TV World entirely by accident and all due to a rumor about this thing called the Midnight Channel. It supposedly showed you your soulmate if you watched it on a rainy night at midnight. What end up happening was that it showed the victims of what ended up being the serial murder in Inaba, my time 2011. Only two were actually murdered, the second of which was Saki-senpai.
[He has to pause here, because despite how long it's been, it was still a bit difficult for Yosuke to talk about his first love's murder. He shakes his head.]
But before Saki's occurred, Partner... ah, Kingpin, told me that when he'd watched the Midnight Channel, he'd gotten his head stuck in the TV. Ch-...Dragon and I hadn't believed him right away but we went to Junes to test it out anyway. Sure enough, he stuck his hand right in there. We started to freak out a bit because not only was Partner just sticking his head in it willy-nilly like that but people were coming too. Somehow, we sort of just bumped into him and all three of us fell right in. [He paused again, mostly because he realized he was rambling and he should probably get to the point. He shook his head.] Ah, s-sorry, I'm taking too long, um, anyway, we explored a bit but we didn't know how to get out. It was when we went back to the place we fell in that Teddie just sort of... showed up. He wasn't mean but he was pretty damn pushy to get us out because, as we soon found out, people were getting thrown in.
So, that's how we met. It was all just an accident at first.

Well, I wasn't there at the beginning, and was only allowed in because I was seen as useful to enter a particularly difficult Palace. Of what I head, Joker, Skull, or Ann would be able to tell you more. Of those, I would suggest talking with Joker.
[Having fulfilled her little bit of information sharing, she considered Yosuke's.] I see... it would make sense that a Shadow would be residing within the... Midnight Channel, you said? It sounds like our collective unconscious can take on regional manifestations. That yours ended up being tied to a TV seems appropriate, since we form our ideas of the world by watching TV shows and the like.
Anyways, you said that he helped you out? How was he able to do that?

[He nods. The collective unconscious seems to be popping up a lot. He leaned his chin on his hand as he thought about it for a few more seconds. Izanami mentioned something like it, that the fog and the castles that had been built within were all because of what everyone else perceived about whomever was on the Midnight Channel.]
Well, before Rise, he was our navigator. At first, he was just there to shove us out of the TV World. While partner had the ability to go in from the get-go, none of us to get out. That's where Teddie came in. He thought we were the ones shoving people into the TV but once he got him to believe that we were innocent and wanted to solve who was doing it, we struck a deal with him. He'd help us navigate the area and also gave us glasses to see through the fog inside and we'd help him make his world peaceful again.
[It was here he pulled out the glasses in question. He had a feeling they'd come up at some point. They didn't look like anything special, just a normal pair of orange-framed glasses.]
I've seen Joker's outfit, same with Panther's and Skull's. It's not much, but these glasses helped us in the TV world like your guys' outfits in the Metaverse, I gathered.

...glasses to see the truth. [Her attention was set on those glasses.]
And you said he made them? May I try them on?
And you said he made them? May I try them on?
[He grinned.]
Exactly.
[He handed them to her.]
Sure, they won't do much out here though. There's no fog or anything like that.
Exactly.
[He handed them to her.]
Sure, they won't do much out here though. There's no fog or anything like that.
[A part of her expected that, and was resigned that the reality of Prismatica was actually real. Still, she reaches and touches the glasses tenderly. She rotates them and gives them a closer inspection. Outwardly they looked like normal glasses, but could they perhaps be some sort of metaphysical manifestation like her costume?]
[She puts them on, and sure enough, they only look like regular, non-prescription glasses.]
[She looks at Yosuke... the orange color not really agreeing with her at all.]
These are incredible. [No, not for their complete inability to see through anything.] Even our outfits and masks would disappear outside the metaverse. Your Teddie must have been a really powerful shadow in order for these to maintain their form. They look and feel real.
