"Oh you're back." Dojima said calmly. "I couldn't help overhear you've been spending a lot of time at Junes."
"Oh, I guess I have been. Is something wrong uncle?" Yu asked.
"No, it's not that." Dojima said. "I just wanted to know if you've seen Adachi slacking off."
"Oh, no I haven't seen him but I'll let you know if I do." Yu said.
"Alright, well good night." Dojima said thoughtfully.
"Good night uncle, night Nanako." Yu said.
"Goodnight." Nanako said quietly.

"Hey Chie, mind if I ask you something?" Yosuke asked.
"Sure, what's up Yosuke?" Chie asked.
"Well actually it's about the other ones, not Tomoe but your other personas." Yosuke said. "Don't they feel weird?"
"Now that you mention it, they do feel different than Tomoe." Chie said. "Do you think Yu knows about it?"
"Maybe, but I think those two know more about it. I was thinking we could ask them tomorrow." Yosuke said.
"Wait, but we can't get in there without Yu." Chie said.
"I know, but if what they said about time moving differently there we might be able to head in after school." Yosuke said.
"Maybe, well see you tomorrow." Chie said.
"Yeah, see you Chie." Yosuke said calmly.

"Hey partner, morning." Yosuke said.
"Morning Yosuke." Yu said calmly.
"Hey, do you mind if I ask you something?" Yosuke asked.
"What's up Yosuke?" Yu asked.
"I was wondering if after class you wouldn't mind if we headed back to see Igor, I wanted to ask him something." Yosuke said just before a blue glow appeared in Yosuke's pocket. "What the, wait isn't this that blue key you had?"
"Yeah, but I don't know why you would have one." Yu said in confusion. "Unless Chie has one too."
"I don't know, we'll have to ask her." Yosuke said.
"Yeah, I agree." Yu said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"No way, Yosuke has one of those keys?" Chie asked.
"Yeah, but it looks different." Yosuke said. "That's another thing we'll have to ask those two right Chie?"
"Yeah, you mind coming along Yu?" Chie asked.
"Actually, I have something else I'm planning on doing today." Yu said. "I overheard the cultural clubs are accepting new members and thought I'd join one."
"Oh yeah that's right, the drama club and the symphonic band start accepting new members today." Yosuke said. "Well I guess Chie and I can go talk to them ourselves."
"Yeah, well see you tomorrow Yu." Chie said.
"See you two tomorrow." Yu said as Yosuke and Chie walked out of the classroom.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room, my this is quite the surprise." Igor said calmly. "How can I assist the two of you?"
"Actually, it was that power you said you gave us." Yosuke said. "I don't know about Yu, but our other persona feel off somehow."
"What do you mean by that?" Igor asked calmly.
"Well, when I summon Tomoe it feels like I'm calling on my own power, but when I summon one of the other personas I feel like it isn't mine. I don't really know how else to describe it." Chie said.
"That isn't a surprise, you see in order to give you the power to summon multiple personas without the wildcard requires a medium through which that power can be drawn out." Igor said calmly. "That medium is the persona that your heart awoke to initially, however do keep in mind that this means only your true persona will be able to grow in strength."
"So when I summon Jack Frost I'm summoning Jiraiya?" Yosuke asked.
"No, think of it more as Jiraiya is summoning Jack Frost for you." Margaret said calmly.
"Hey, where is he?" Marie asked suddenly. "How did you two get in here without him?"
"Oh yeah, we were wondering that too." Chie said.
"This is a one time situation, I felt that you deserved answers for your questions." Igor said calmly. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"No, but thanks a lot." Yosuke said.
"Yeah, thanks." Chie said before the two of them left the Velvet Room.

"Alright, let's try it one more time." said a male student. "So who wants to go first?"
"I'll go." said a girl with short hair. "The sixth sick shiek's sixth sheep's sick!"
Wow, she's really good, Yu thought.
"Good job, ok who wants to go next." the male student said before noticing Yu. "Oh aren't you the new transfer student?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about joining the drama club if that's ok with you." Yu said calmly.
"That's fine, we're always willing to accept new members." the male student said. "I'm the club president and this is the vice president."
"It's nice to meet you both." Yu said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too." the vice president said politely.
"I'm Yumi Ozawa." the girl who said the tongue twister said.
"Nice to meet you Yumi." Yu said.
"If you want, I can help you out." Yumi said with a smile.
"Thanks that sounds good." Yu said with a smile.
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 Sun Arcana…

"Hey Chie, I've been meaning to ask if Yukiko is feeling any better." Yosuke said.
"I think so, I called her yesterday and she said she's able to help out at the inn a little more, but she isn't coming to school yet." Chie said.
"Well at least she's feeling better." Yosuke said calmly.
"Yeah, hopefully she'll be well enough to come back to school soon. I'll let you and Yu know when I find out anything." Chie said.
"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow Chie." Yosuke said.
"Yeah, see you later Yosuke." Chie said.
I wonder, maybe I should give Yu a call when I get home, Yosuke thought. It might be a good idea to get some practice in before the killer makes another move.
(Yu has joined the drama club and formed yet another social link. Next chapter the investigation team will return to Yukiko's Castle to train in the TV world. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
