am I too excited that the geeky mood has glasses? probably. will I stop? nope, too busy geeking out about it.
well, this is the longish persona 4 .hack inspired au introduction chapter that I thought was longer but the word count was off by about 1000 so don't be scared. nothing was coming for a while, but once you get souji talking he's actually rather communicative. I wish I could say the same about buffy and josephine and the stands. *glares in their general direction*
he's definitely different from but similar to the unbreakable ties souji. I like both my soujis. no, all of them, really, there's the personatown one too. and all my yosukes.
don't worry, I haven't actually not capitalized the sentences in the fic. they're capitalized there. for whatever reason I just didn't feel like doing it here in the intro. I'm in a weird geeky hyper mood but don't worry, it shall pass with time and sleep. mostly sleep.
main points: persona 4 .hack inspired au
chapter summary: souji moves to inaba, only it's for two years, and we catch a glimpse into the future when souji plays innocent sin online.
probably important: yosuke's character is a kitsune named koual, as you can probably gather if you read the innocent sin forum posts. souji doesn't know this yet. it's a minor spoiler but since I already spoiled it in the forum posts you get to have suspense rather than surprise (hitchcock definition).
souji's character is a nekomata named kenshin. given his role as a truthseeker both in canon and in the story I thought it was appropriate. and his obsession with cats. because cats. yosuke doesn't know it's souji, either. they're not that close in real life (RL) yet.
oh, also, duh. I made a forum post with yosuke explaining what an MS is, but haven't posted that yet so it's kind of useless. it stands for mood sensing (system) and is basically a new piece of gamer gear allowing for greater character expression based on cues of mood from the player.word count: 2643
