[tarotcards]

[ On the morning of the 13th, one day before Valentine's Day, a sudden text message appears from a Souji Seta. Perhaps you've talked to him before. Perhaps you haven't. Perhaps you're wondering why the hell you are receiving a text at six in the morning but look, let's not sweat the small details. Pay attention to the larger ones, like the contents of this very important message: ]

Hello.

Through the tides of fate, you have been chosen to participate in this year's Valentine's Day event: Blind Dating. It is believed that no one should be alone for such an important day and as such, you have been paired up with another lonely soul.

Your match is with Honoka Kousaka. Please contact them to plan out your date for tomorrow.

However, if you and your partner do not know what to do, there will be a booth in Recollé Square for the sole purpose of assisting unsure or confused participants of the event. There will be date suggestions, booklets of pick-up lines, and refreshments.

Happy Valentine's Day.

- Cupid

[To make things even worse for Yosuke, Yukiko had spent her evening preparing food for a party with Minako. She hadn't missed the whole blind date idea of the twins, but she certainly hadn't signed up, planning instead to spend it with her friend.

Which means Souji gets a bleary reply of:]

I didn't sign up for a blind date :(

Who put my name on this list?

text, feb 13th

[korekara]

[ at a slightly less obnoxious time in the morning: ]

YUKIKOOOOOO
DID U GET THE TEXT

[burningblossoms]

[Well, Yukiko may have made other plans, but...okay, she's not going to disappoint Honoka by not going on this deito...]

I did.

I suppose someone signed me up for a date and we got paired up.

So! What do you want to do?

2/14.

[constellates]

[It's February 14th! Early enough before the blind dates have started, Anya was busy.

When Yukiko arrives at class, she'll find her gift already sitting at her desk. She'll find a little pouch filled with heart-shaped macarons, about 6 or 7. There's a neat little card written in Anya's neat and short hand-writing:]

Happy Valentine's Day!
Please know that I adore you too.

- Anya ♡

[The macarons have their own little messages instead of the classic Sweetheart Conversations, customized based on whoever Anya's giving them to. This batch reads:]

INSPIRING
SWEET
LOVELY
FRIEND

GIFT → 02.22

[tarotcards]

[ A day after Yukiko bravely saves the dumb Souji and Honoka duo, Yukiko will find a very tiny fruit basket on her desk. It literally only holds about an apple, a pear, and an orange, but it's still kind of nice?? Attached to the basket's handle is a little note: ]

Thank you for the daring rescue ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

[ And that's all it says, without a name or anything at all, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who it's probably from. ]

[burningblossoms]

[It is pretty easy. And the very next afternoon, Souji will find a basket on his desk. It's full of cat food, a few cat toys, and a box of snacks that Yukiko's seen Souji himself eating.]

Don't mention it. Anything for a good kitty.

[notyourutopian]

Hey I need your opinion on something.

Assuming this actually gets to you this time and not some other random person.

[burningblossoms]

Well if you were trying to send it to Yukiko, then sure, hit me!

3/14 misfire

[covenantal]

I have really high hopes for this one. Isn't it cute?

[ ATTACHMENT: cute_cat_dress.jpg ]

[burningblossoms]

It certainly is, Yu!

Who's it for? Are you shopping for someone in particular?

What?

3/22

[covenantal]

Yukiko-san, could I ask you a little about your taste in music?

[burningblossoms]

Sure, ask away?

3-25 - Fairly late at night.

[notyourutopian]

Hey Yukiko are you awake?

[burningblossoms]

I am, what's up?

text; 03/29

[caelestialis]

Hi Yukiko!

I know this is all of the sudden but can I ask if you know a man named Augustus? Dark haired with dark eyes? Serious demeanour?

[burningblossoms]

It's fine, Ms. Menodora.

And no, I don't think I do?



Unless you mean Octavian Augustus. I know of him?

Evening of the 6th, sometime around seven. Phone call.

[notyourutopian]

[Ring ring ring! And when she picks up.]

Yukiko, are you home?

[Eleanor sounds...a bit on edge? Her accent is more obvious than usual and there's a faint bit of panic in her voice.

[burningblossoms]

[BANANA PHONE.]

Yeah?

[Her voice picks up as the tone registers more...]

Yeah. I'm here, what's wrong?

4/2

[covenantal]

Ah, Yukiko-san? Have you got a minute?

[burningblossoms]

Sure, what's up?

text somewhere around 4/10

[notyourutopian]

Yukiko!
Not sure how but I got wrapped into some kind of board game night with Jade.
It was a bit of a whirlwind.
Friday the 21st want to come?
Please say yes.

[burningblossoms]

Yes.
What kind of games did I agree to?

5/12

[youraffection]

[ It's...it's nice being full-sized again. Like, really nice. SUPER nice. Yosuke always wished he was a little bit taller, but he's never been so happy to be regular Yosuke-height before. School is also infinitely more bearable, though it's driving him partially crazy that some of the teachers haven't noticed or even cared about the change. What is this world coming to...

Well, it's Friday. Which means weekend! So that puts Yosuke in a higher mood than he might be otherwise. As he's walking towards the bike rack, he spots a familiar head of long black hair. ]

Hey! [ He waves at Yukiko, forgoing his bike for the moment as he trots over to her. ] Looks like everyone's back to normal.

[burningblossoms]

[Being able to get back in the van, take Al out for walks, and just generally not deal with the fact that she was five inches tall and killed a dragonfly with a glowing woman is nice too. Yukiko's never been so ecstatic to be able to sit in her seat normally.

And, weirdly? To hear that voice. Turning, she smiles over her shoulder and regards him.]

Looks like. You made it through alright?

5/21

[ghostories]

[ Yuuko just calls her out of the blue one fine morning, as Yuuko does. ]

Yoohoo, Yukiko! You thought I disappeared from the face of the earth and assumed I was on hiatus, but it's not a hiatus if I don't officially announce it, is it? [ Is she breaking the fourth wall? Who knows... ] Anyway, are you free? Let's play a game!

[burningblossoms]

[This is a little out of the blue, but Yukiko picks up.]

I...thought you were just busy, Yuuko. [You know, as you do.]

But I'm free, yes. What sort of game?

5/30

[covenantal]

Ah, just so you know, you might be hearing from Shirogane-san sometime soon.

[burningblossoms]

Why? Is something the matter?

Text, 5/30

[truedetective]

You lied to me when you said you had no memories of me.
Why?

[burningblossoms]

[At least she's prepared...]

I didn't lie to you, Naoto.

Yu told me what happened.

I didn't realize it was a secret. :(

6/1

[covenantal]

Personas.

They're called Personas.

[burningblossoms]

I know.

I remembered.

I know that they come from Shadows, too.

Phone call - Around 10 PM a couple days before graduation.

[notyourutopian]

[Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring banana phone Yukiko pick up there's a grumpy best friend on the line.]

[burningblossoms]

[Answered.]

Hello, What's up Eleanor?

Retrospec Message

[prometheanflame]

Hello,

This is Mohammed Hefaz, one of the people on Retrospc. Naoto told me you could help me out with something. I recently remembered having some sort of superpower and she told me to check with you.

I remember being able to create fire with my mind, but I think the explanation is more complicated than that.

Yay!

[burningblossoms]

Hello Mr. Hefaz,

My name is Yukiko Amagi and while I'm not sure what Naoto said, I remember having similar superpowers.

How do you mean, more complicated? And have you regained those abilities, or only memories of them?

Action 6/22

[notyourutopian]

[It's a little after one when Eleanor turns up on Yukiko's doorstep and rings the bell. She's dressed quite nicely, grey (IT USED TO BE BLUE) blouse, black skirt and flats, her big purse hanging over her shoulder. She has sunglasses on, and can't quite stand still, shifting her weight from foot to foot as she waits for Yukiko to answer.]

[This was all odd for two reason. One, Eleanor didn't call first, and she always called first, and two, she was supposed to be at her internship right then.]

[burningblossoms]

[It is odd, odd enough for Yukiko to blink at least once when she opens the door. Something is Wrong, with the capital W because that internship is really, really important to El.

She doesn't say a word, she just grabs her key from by the doorframe and steps outside, ready to go.]

Trouble? Where and what?

Forward Dated 6/720

[prometheanflame]

I think my Persona is manifesting.

I've been feeling kind of warm the past few days, but I thought it was just the heat until someone asked me why I wasn't cold late at night.

I'm trying to see if I can summon it at will.

[burningblossoms]

Oh! That's exciting! Mine was a lot like that, before it manifested fully first too.

If you need my help or want me nearby just in case, let me know, I'll be there.

7/11

[covenantal]

[ Pretty much immediately after he gets this. ]

Telling people I don't like cats... you're crueler than I took you for, Yukiko-san.

[burningblossoms]

You said it at my graduation party, Yu-kun. Was that a lie?

And it was for bingo. Nobody believed it, and I only teased Anya a little.

Action - Chocobo Racing

[prometheanflame]

[Mohammed knows his way around birds. He looks after four bundles of fluff. He controls a birdman on fire. He loves any animal with wings and a beak. He's petting the Chocobo at the corral, and it likes him back. He must have a natural touch.

That, and a warm touch. The bird loves his ability to warm up his skin for an excellent hug.]

How are you doing, Yukiko? [He's ready to race. But petting some more is fine.]

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko is also pretty fond of birds, given that her soul is shaped like a winged metal bird woman, but Chocobos are a special treat. Since they arrived here in Recolle, she's found herself drawn to the odd creatures and often winds up at the corral.

Slipping inside the pen, she walks over to her favorite one of the birds and holds up a hand. It nuzzles her palm with a beak rather affectionately. It's not a natural affinity, but it's certainly a friendship of a sort.]

Good, how about you, Mohammed?
