Track 10 - Canned Heat

[princeofjunes]

Action - 947 Beulah - Afternoon - Closed

[When he woke up and heard the news, Yosuke thought he might cry. No more milk. No more razor blades or mood swings or delusions or paranoia or anything. Just a normal day in hell - and dammit, he'd take it. What's more, he'd succeeded. He'd kept his friends safe for those four days of hell. He'd even met some new people and been almost productive. What's more, thanks to Elizabeth, he'd managed to get himself back on track. He'd stopped obsessing over what he could and couldn't do without his Persona, and re-focused on what he could do himself. Why he was doing it. Who was in control. Since day one in Mayfield, he'd never been more at peace with not having his Persona. So what if he was limited? He could still help. He could protect. He could be awesome and there wasn't a damn thing the town could do to stop him]

[As a reward, he decided to stay inside today. Screw work, screw errands and chores and everything else. Today was his and they could all suck it.]

Action - 947 Beulah - Late Afternoon - Open

[He's a bit surprised to check the mail and find a package at the door - with his name on it. This... this is familiar. He's been through this before. With a shaking hand, he tears it open, wondering what he could be getting in such a small box. He's already got his music gear back, he's got his knives, what else is there?]

[A card]

[With a picture he knows oh so well]

[His breath catches in his throat as he grips the card tightly before slipping it into his pocket. Does... does this mean...?]

[Well, only one way to find out. Closing his eyes, he steadies his breathing and focuses, looking inward for the power that resides there. A hand reflexively digs into his pocket, pulling out a dagger as a card begins to materialize in the air above him. In a swift motion he crouches down, leaping into the air and spinning as he slices through the card with ease, his voice ringing out.] SUSANO-O!

[And there above him is his persona, in all it's glory - and with a violent burst of wind, the mailbox is torn to shreds. Oops. Not that Yosuke cares - his face is positively glowing. He's got it back, and nothing can change that. Just ignore the guy partying on his front porch over seemingly nothing.]

Phone - Evening - Filtered to Persona Casts and Shana

[He wasn't sure if he should make a big deal of it... but they deserve to know]

So, I got a pretty nice package in the mail today.

Filtered to Elizabeth

... thank you. For everything. I really needed that talk the other day.

Was it food?

[princeofjunes]

No, but I'm in such a good mood I wouldn't mind treating you.

I got my Persona back.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I guess you probably will be treating me then.

[doudemoe]

A gift from a fan?

[princeofjunes]

Man, I don't care if it's a gift from god.

I got my persona back!

[doudemoe]

Ah. That's good to hear.

[ Phone ]

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

... Do tell.

[ Did his bestest friend in the whole wide world get something super nifty and cool in the mail? ]

[princeofjunes]

I may have obliterated my mail box with Susano-o.

And I'm completely okay with it.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I think I am completely okay with it too.

[Terra is out walking her dog near Yosuke's house when she hears the commotion. Of course, she has to investigate.]

[princeofjunes]

[And there's Yosuke, jumping for joy in his driveway while looking at an obliterated mailbox. Yes, he's literally jumping for joy. With everything he's been through, anything less would just be a disservice to himself.]

[kickassncrafts.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? What'd you get?

[princeofjunes]

It took me long enough, but I finally got back my persona!

Blew up my mailbox though, but hey, who hasn't blown up a mailbox or two?

The house of course

[roadroller]

Yosuke-nii!? ♪

[Rin just ran outside at the noise. What can I say? After the hell her surrogate brother put himself through the past four days, yelling of anything followed by a large noise was enough to alarm her, even if the milk thing was supposed to be over. Of course, then she sees Yosuke dancing around - well, there goes that mood. She sighs]

[princeofjunes]

[His victory celebration is cut a little short at the sight of Rin with that worried look - and instantly the wave of guilt strikes. What the hell was he thinking, doing that? Of course she'd worry! He stops and scratches the back of his head, looking incredibly guilty]

Sorry about that, little sis! I uh, got a little over excited and maybe blew up the mailbox. I didn't mean to worry you.

"You are quite welcome, the windier the path, the more important it is you not walk it alone."

[princeofjunes]

And the more important it is to have someone willing to slap you. I'll keep that in mind.

Oh hey, before I forget. I got my persona back. Go figure, right?

[Teddie was in the house when Yosuke was getting the mail, but he heard the unfortunate fate of the mailbox. So he comes running outside, not sure what to expect. Yosuke seems pretty happy with the destruction of property, so Teddie has to ask...]

Yosuke? What happened to the mailbox?

[princeofjunes]

[It's the happiest he'll ever be about destruction of property! It's truly a glorious moment]

My persona happened, Teddie! It's back!

[femtags.livejournal.com]

Hm? What did you get Yosuke-san?

[princeofjunes]

Minako-chan!

[He refrains from the traditional "You're back!" squeal. She can probably already tell it from his voice, anyway]

I finally got my persona back!

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

[Yuna stares at the Persona in awe, a big smile spreading across her face.]

Whoa! What was that?

[princeofjunes]

[Oh hey, an audience! But he's so happy he'll gladly go over and explain, because dammit he has his persona back!]

That's the part of me that can use magic and all sorts of awesome stuff! It's called my Persona!

(Have a random cartoon rabbit dressed as Marilyn Monroe reenacting the famous skirt scene from The Seven Year Itch. If you have to ask why, you have no soul.)

Oh, my!

[princeofjunes]

[In a way, it's almost refreshing that even in Mayfield, something can happen that can still stop him in his tracks. A bunny in a dress holding down his skirt after Yosuke's magical burst of wind? That's one of those things]

I, uh...

...

... sorry?
