Maede could have gotten lost and ran into Itsuki enroute? Great way to tie both characters back in.

Given how Itsuki is flipping his shit, he'd probably break down and hug the first person he sees, because in all honesty, when you think every single person in the world just turned into a coffin and evil jell-o is trying to touch you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable,that's no good. So be wary of the Itsuki bear hug.

skljklzdmskl need motivation to post omg Lena you are the absolute worst.

D: i'll get one up i swear i just need to find some writers viagra or something

"Get one up"
"Writer's Viagra"

*snickers* ><

Ain't nothin' more glorious than a literary erection.

Gaze upon it!
Warning, should your literary erection sustain for a period of over 4 hours, contact your doctor immediately.

I'm hoping this literary erection leads to a literal climax.

EDIT: btw the comms are on our phones right? I mean, we can still communicate even without the earpieces yeah? So its like even if I'm missing my earpiece I would still have my phone on me (cuz what japanese high school student wouldn't have their phone on them at all times??) and therefore AWOOGAH! AWOOGAH!! yeah?

I'll just roll with that assumption since I was intending to play it off as Akira doesn't have his comm (at least not the earpiece) but he would most definitely still have his phone ala Cloud Strife FFVII Advent Children.

DOUBLEDIT: Instant drop to zero sanity points. Enjoy.

TRIPLEDIT: holy shit...just read through the wikipedia article on "running amok" to brush up on some things for my post and...well, just read for yourself. There's some seriously messed up shit going on there. I was worried I might be taking things too far with the little nutcase, but I'm glad I'm not going THAT far xD
"To run amok" is literally a "murderous frenzy" or basically a crime of passion that has long been a socially acceptable form of "intentional suicide" especially in Malaysian culture as well as various cultures where suicide is not tolerated. Compare to the Western idea of "going postal"
And here I just thought it was just running around "willy-nilly" like a chicken with its head cut off...no evil tiger spirits please and thank you! Still working on that post, btw.

QUADRUPLEDIT: Hope you like my little psycho. I think he's got the potential to be one of those new-age bad guys who is actually a generally nice person but hates the world because he loves it so much and has to destroy it or eliminate everyone in it because of some twisted good-guy logic like...kill everybody to stop war :D
Reference Neon Genesis Evangelion and Naruto (basically the same deal--turn everybody into amalgamated mind jelly/teleport them to the moon so everyone stops fighting and starts loving each other) or that one guy from Deadman Wonderland who believes by hurting and killing people he's somehow solving the problem of other people hurting/killing each other...cuz there's a static quantity of love/pain in the universe just like mass...fucking wacko.

O_o that's one hell of a breakdown... are we gonna need a straight jacket?

Its possible, though I'd like to see how my fellow party members handle this before we call the men in white coats.

Depends on the resolution, but I'm prepared to reintroduce a heavily medicated Shirogane at a later date. Much struggles down that road.

Planning to handle this IC later but for future reference kindly stay out of Shirogane's head, please.

Can't help feeling like there was little or no precedent for his breakdown...it definitely fits with my original character idea but I feel like I didn't give enough warning. If I failed to mention this before, Shirogane is mental. Believe it.

Also, that awkward moment when you have a cat in your lap while at your computer and if you stop petting it for half a second it looks up at you expectantly. That is all.

Oh, and I should mention that I do feel really bad about holding up the action or at the very least the group's progress to the whole boss battle thing we're supposed to have been done with by now...that being said I fully intend to accept whatever quick-fix the group comes up with to this little development. Feel free to snap me out of it with a kiss *puckers up* or...you know....there's "that."

As far as the others can see, he's basically just standing there... thinking... Unless I missed something. I just woke up, and that tends to happen. xD

Can Leo hear Tak's voice in his head too? Not that it would matter because they'd be in Japanese, but still. xD

He only addressed the SEES members. :3

I guess I'll go with that, hopefully I'll figure out how to get back in @-@ I'm so sorry for this! Um, can I get a quickie rundown of what's going on?

Rundown:

-Fight in Monorail Carrage
-Distress Call sent out
-Scared guy running around the streets
-Somebody just had a mental breakdown
-Somebody snuck outside of the dorm

Thats what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong.
Im not 100% on names yet.

Yoro and Youhei are having their 300 moment, Akira(male) is BSODing after being mindraped by Takahiro and Akira(female) is heroically leading SEES and the new guys to war.

In Itsuki's defense, THE MOON TURNED GREEN AND PEOPLE ARE COFFINS! And he lost his pretzel...Someday Itsuki will go back and fight that specific shadow blob-let to reclaim his lost pretzel.

Kiga, we're supposed to be doing the boss battle aboard the monorail but most of our party is back at the dorm. Yoro and Youhei are going all 300 in the train car, the rest of us (that's me, Ikeda, and the newbies) are all back at the dorm. Itsuki is new and he's kinda wondering around alone in the streets, and this other new guy YUUhei (not to be confused with YOUhei) is also at the dorms and has more or less joined forces with us.

Crimson Flame said As far as the others can see, he's basically just standing there... thinking...

No this is worse than his usual self-inflicted mental shutdown. Its a full catatonic shutdown. Imagine your computer simply can't handle all the processing and gets bogged down, it kinda freezes up for a bit. That's what normally happens when he freaks out due to social anxiety and can't do anything. This is the equivalent of a fatal error. Reboot or possibly reinstall required.
It looks like he's just slumped on the ground feeling sorry for himself and looking generally pathetic...vacant stare and all.

Meaning...everybody who's not Yuuhei/Itsuki?

Sounds quest-worthy.

Also, what's BSOD? BullShit OverDose?

Adding to this.

Blue Screen of Death!

You should visit TvTropes. :P

Ah, thanks. That's a pretty old term. I'm still old enough to know it, just didn't immediately recognize the anagram.

I LOVE tvtropes. Also, how is that a tvtrope? It refers to the old apple OS.

EDIT: And yeah this is definitely a Heroic BSOD not a Despair Event Horizon.
To clarify this is not total catatonia, but more like comatose. Sorry, mixing up terms. He just needs a good Get A Hold of Yourself, Man! of some kind.

Leo probably isn't the best person to give it. :/ It's still worth a shot. xD

Well, Itsuki is a licensed facepuncher...but he didn't really do it to get them out of the edge zone.
And his face punching days are sorta behind him.

Everyone who has awakened to their Persona. ^^
