"Morning Yu, did Chie call you last night?" Yosuke asked.

"Yeah, she did." Yu said. "I agree, we should ask them about that after school."

"I was thinking the same thing." Yosuke said. "Let's go."

"Right behind you partner." Yu said calmly.

"Hey Yu, are you heading to practice today?" Kou asked.

"Sorry, I have something to take care of today." Yu said.

"That's cool, see you later." Kou said.

"Later Kou." Yu said calmly as Chie ran up to him and Yosuke.

"Oh, morning Chie. Is something wrong?" Yosuke asked.

"No, nothing's wrong. It's just well last night, never mind I'll tell you later." Chie said. "Oh yeah, are we going to talk with them?"

"Yeah, first thing after school." Yosuke said. "Actually, there is one thing I wanted to ask them anyway."

As Yosuke said that, the bell rang.

"Oh man, we need to hurry." Chie said urgently.

"Huh, oh you're back." Marie said. "So where are we going today?"

"Oh Marie-chan what are you doing here?" Yosuke asked.

"You guys know her, well it's nice to meet you Marie-chan. I'm Chie Satonaka." Chie said with a grin.

"Actually we wanted to talk to Igor and Margaret." Yu said.

"Oh, alright let's head in then." Marie said before walking into the Velvet Room.

"Wait, she can see the door?" Yosuke asked.

"Yeah, it's kind of complicated." Yu said. "The simple answer is that she's from there just like Igor and Margaret, she just wasn't ready when we went there last time."

"That makes sense, well ladies first Chie." Yosuke said.

"Thanks." Chie said as the three of them entered the Velvet Room.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." Igor said calmly. "How can we be of assistance?"

"Well I wanted to ask you something." Chie said. "When Yosuke and I woke up to our personas we had to fight our shadows, but the other ones, they feel weird."

"Now that you mention it, I felt the same way." Yosuke said. "I can't really describe it but something felt off."

"Well duh, you guys don't have the same power as him so when you use a different persona it's obviously going feel off." Marie said.

"You keep mentioning that, something called the Wildcard right?" Chie asked.

"Yes, our guest does indeed possess the power of the Wildcard." Igor said calmly. "It's for that very reason he is capable of utilizing multiple persona, the power that I granted you both allows you to realize the power of any persona who's arcana is the same as that of your own."

"So that means that I can use any persona like Jiraiya, but that still doesn't explain why it feels off." Yosuke said.

"I can't say for certain, this is the first time anything of this nature has occurred." Igor said. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Yeah, I wanted to know if anyone who gets a persona is going to gain the same power." Chie said. "I mean, if they came here?"

"If they were to enter the Velvet Room I would provide them with the same power as the two of you, now then is there anything else that you require?" Igor asked.

"Not at the moment, thanks though." Yosuke said.

"Yeah, thanks for all the help." Chie said before the three persona users exited the Velvet Room.

"So now what?" Yosuke asked. "I mean our power is like yours but it's not the same?"

"That sounds about right." Yu said. "Plus we know that once Yukiko recovers she should be able to enter the Velvet Room too."

"Yeah, you're right." Yosuke said. "Speaking of which, how's Yukiko?"

"She's recovering, I called the inn before school." Chie said. "She's still tired but she should be better soon."

"That's good to hear, so what are you guys going to do?" Yosuke asked.

"I think I'll head to Samegawa and train some more." Chie said.

"That sounds good, I think I'll stop by Junes and pick up some food to make for dinner." Yu said thoughtfully.

"I'll head over with you, they probably need my help anyway." Yosuke said. "See you tomorrow Chie."

"Yeah, see you guys." Chie said before walking off.

"I guess that makes it just us." Yosuke said calmly. "Maybe we should pay Ted a visit and see if he knows anything about this stuff."

"It's worth a try, he did know about the shadows." Yu said.

"Yeah, plus we can make sure nobody else was thrown into that world. Nobody's shown up on the midnight channel, but the culprit might try again since it didn't work last time." Yosuke said.

"I don't know, how would the culprit choose a victim?" Yu asked.

"I don't know, but there has to be a pattern somehow. I mean the people that show up on the midnight channel have to be connected in some way." Yosuke said. "The problem is what is the killer focusing on?"

"I don't know, but hopefully we can figure it out before someone else gets thrown in." Yu said.

"Yeah, I agree." Yosuke said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh, Adachi-san." Yu said. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Oh, you're Dojima-san's nephew right?" Adachi asked.

"Huh, you know this guy Yu?" Yosuke asked.

"Kind of, he's my uncle's partner on the police force. It's nice to see you." Yu said.

"Yeah, oh but do you mind doing me a huge favor?" Adachi asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Yu asked.

"Do you mind keeping me being here a secret just between us?" Adachi asked. "I mean if Dojima-san found out he'd never let me hear the end of it."

"Sure thing Adachi-san." Yu said.

"Thanks, that helps me more than you know." Adachi said.

Thou Art I… And I art thou… Thou hast established a new bond… It brings thee closer to the truth… Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Jester Arcana…

Jester, that's unusual, Yu thought. "Well, it was interesting to see you Adachi-san."

"Yeah, same to you." Adachi said.

(Yu, Yosuke, and Chie have learned that the power Yosuke and Chie received is not the same as the Wildcard, and Yu has formed a social link with Adachi. Next chapter Yu will strengthen a social link. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
