I suppose he is rather unique. [He recalls Kanji's words about 'Leader'.]
We talked about our respective teams a while ago. They went into the Metaverse in TVs and a Teddy Bear had TVs on the other side to get them out.
[THIS WAS IMPORTANT INFORMATION OKAY.]
He seems a little more secretive here. But maybe it's just because we're taking it a little too seriously.
[Ren. Ren look at yourself.]

[Futaba relaxes into the hug just enjoying the closeness and the fact that at least now Ann was safe.]
Thank you too Ann.
[She smiles a little more easily and releases her friend.]
Come on the cakes aren't going to eat themselves.
Thank you too Ann.
[She smiles a little more easily and releases her friend.]
Come on the cakes aren't going to eat themselves.
Through… TVs? Okay, that, I didn't know.
[ And a teddy bear… it's about as believable as a talking cat, so she takes his word for it. Ren might be a joker (!!), but Souji is painfully straightforward— if he says there's a teddy bear, there's a teddy bear. ]
It could be because his teammates are here. You have no idea how hard it was trying to get Ryuji to keep a lid on it after you and Makoto were gone— he wanted to tell everybody. But keeping everything a secret was what was keeping all of us safe. He might just be trying to protect them, the way we protect each other.

[ Seemingly reassured by the fact that no one seems to be interested in what they were doing at all, she keeps going; her hand continues on, following this skin from the outside of his thigh to rest on top of it, instead. Ann's attention turns back to him as her fingertips toy with the very edge of the towel that keeps him just barely covered under the water.
She's suddenly very glad her bikini is string-tied. He's a bit more 'easy access' in that regard. ]
I missed you, too. [ She whispers back to him, scooting herself closer and closer until the space between them is gone, and her other arm can easily wrap itself around him. She'd missed him, someone she'd simply connected with, easy and familiar, but also one of the people who'd made her feel comfortable and wanted enough to initiate her first threesome. Something she'd grown very fond of, afterward. ]
Yeah, [ She breathes out, shivering at the fingers tracing the boundary between swimsuit and skin, she props her hip up a bit, offering the knot out to him as yet another invitation, a lot more transparent than the last. ]
I do.

I do.
... We're going to be rich.
[The thought comes with a very quiet laugh, and he pulls the knot without the slightest hesitation. He can feel her fingers, the hot water heightening the sensation rather than numbing it, and the towel does very little to hide the fact that he's more and more turned on by even indirect teasing.]

[ His quiet laugh is met with a slightly louder one— that was funny, okay? The thought had definitely crossed her mind, before. Duplicity had gotten her used to being… well, active, but it had also fostered a somewhat voracious appetite for sex. After a while, it hadn't been for quota. It had been for fun. Because she'd wanted it.
Like now. Like she wants this. Like she wants him. The Chroma is just the cherry on top of the sundae.
The strings float loose in the pool until she reaches for the other knot, the one tucked against the wall, doing it away with it herself so she can pull the entire thing from underneath her, giving him a sheepish smile as she lays it up on the edge— she's going to have to put it back on later, better not to lose it. ]

[Carefully, mirroring her motions, Souji folds his towel and sets it aside on the rim of the pool. Like her, it isn't about the Chroma - it's about the connection, the fun, the feeling. But it makes him laugh that it's something they get paid for.
Once she's bare, he reaches over, teasing between her thighs with his fingertips, almost more tickling than exploring. It's been a while for the two of them, and as eager as he is for her, he wants to draw this out.]

[ The way he folds up his towel and gently places it on the ledge is somehow the most amusing thing she's seen in a while. She has to bite the insides of her lips to keep it to herself, which is an effort in vain as his hand slides between her legs and his fingers play at in skin in a way that makes her giggle and squirm— in probably not the way he'd been intending.
Ann scoots herself a little closer so she can slide an arm around him and rest her chin on his shoulder. And since they're copying each other's moves, anyway, her hand slides between his thighs, hardly bothering to tease the way he does. Her hand goes all the way up, gently cupping his balls in the palm of her hand, fingertips stroking them idly almost the way he does to her thighs. ]
Hey… remember that night, with Yusuke?

Hey… remember that night, with Yusuke?
It was... memorable.
[His breath huffs out in a rush as she strokes him, and he leans back, legs parting just a little further, making sure she has as much access to his body as she wants. His fingertips on her curl stroking up towards her clit, doing their best to be something more than ticklish.]
Why... do you ask?

Why... do you ask?
Oh, [ she breathes out a quick gasp, rocking and angling her hips to help his fingers find the perfect spot, rather than feeling around blindly— although that felt perfectly fine, the tingling electric feeling of the Chroma they generate making pleasurable feelings all the better. ]
Because… I thought about it a lot, after you were gone. Both of you.
[ She takes the spread legs as the invitation it is, drawing her fingertips over his sac until they've all withdrawn and instead started to pet the underside of his cock. ]
Kinda wanted to go for seconds.

You know... the next week, when we were scheduled to sleep over again, and you couldn't make it...
[He trails off, focusing for just a moment on moving his fingers faster, dialing up the pressure of his fingers just a little, watching her reactions until he sees what seems best, groaning low in his throat as her fingers begin to move up as well...]
We didn't cancel.
[She probably hadn't known that.]

[Ren really wants to see this Teddy Bear.]
It makes sense. If people find out about our identities, we can't really go around as the Phantom Thieves with everyone knowing. You can use your Personas here, by the way. Even our weapons act like real ones. I've found I can reload my bullets every time I transform.
[It seems almost laughable to add "oh by the way you can use all your superhuman powers here," but weighing against everything else it was something they could return to later.]
Souji knew about you and Ryuji when we spoke...that's how he convinced me to trust him.

[ He almost, almost has her distracted enough not to even think about what he's saying, pressing her mouth against his skin to stifle the sound that makes its way out as he finds a particularly pleasing pattern and pressure to rub into her.
Her hand stutters, but only stops for a second, as she gapes at him. ]
For real?! [ Apparently, no, she hadn't! ] Ugh… I can't believe it I missed my chance…
[ Pouting, she picks back up, tracing her way to the head of his cock and then back down, where she encircles the base between her thumb and finger. ]

I wasn't sure whether I was interested... and then I didn't know if I was interested in everyone, or just girls and also Yusuke.
[As long as he has her off-balance, he may as well tease and confess at once to someone he knows won't judge, but he pauses at the end of the sentence, shivering as her fingers circle around him once more, and his own pace stutters - but only for a moment.]
It turns out, I appreciate everyone...

[ …of course he does. Who wouldn't want to see a talking teddy bear? (Aside from the people who actually know him.) ]
We ended up getting pretty close… [ In more ways than one. ] He showed up as soon as you'd disappeared, so we were all feeling a little lost. Finding more people with the same powers as us was kind of comforting, in a way. We wanted to stick together.
[ She shifts a little, to cross her legs. ] That actually reminds me— in Duplicity they had the ability to limit our powers. They could even take them away, if they wanted to. Can they do that here?

Guess he rubbed off on you a little. [ In… more ways than one? It hadn't surprised her when Yusuke had told her that he was attracted to anyone that satisfied his aesthetics; it surprises her just as little that someone as open and candid as Souji is the same.
Ann spreads her thighs further apart, propping one of her legs up on her foot, and leans over to press her lips against his neck— probably the most visibly intimate move either of them have really made so far, if anyone were paying attention. ]
Now I'm even more glad I started something that night.

Uh...
[Yep. Caught red-handed. Look at his guilt! Look at it!]
Well...no I didn't, but that's fine, right? I mean, if they didn't want me to hack their machines maybe they shouldn't have made it so easy to do in the first place?
[9S that's not a good excuse. Bad Android.]

( from here. )
Last year? But Rise's… [ Ann's brow furrows and her hand pauses mid-air. She stares at him for a long moment, and the look on her face definitely gives the impression that she's doing some kind of math in her head, hand finally settling on a roll of double-sided tape.
They aren't from the same year. Unless this guy is totally bullshitting her, which is entirely possible; still, a stalker fan would definitely know that Rise Kujikawa graduated high school two years ago!
But then, he'd said something even more interesting: ] Inaba? Wait wait wait, you're from Inaba?
[ Nope, she still hasn't told him how the lotion is supposed to work. ]

Ann keeps him hefted at her eye level while he postures, unable to keep from smiling. It'd been ages since she'd heard that cocky tone, so she doesn't bother questioning what he can do to help that the rest of them haven't been able to. Eventually, she lowers him down enough to hug him against her chest, instead, providing him a place to rest on with her arms.
"Uh huh… is that why you were peeking into the crystal shop? Can you sense something in there?"

Nothing a Dia can't fix up.
[ Not that she can really do that out in public, but, the option is there. She smiles to be reassuring, then places a hand on the net to lift and inspect it herself. ]
Uhh… no pests. Was that what you were trying to catch with this? [ She shakes the pole a little. ]

Hm? She's what?
[He sort of returns her stare, but in a way that just looks utterly confused. What is she trying to imply? He blinked rapidly at the sudden question.]
Uh, yeah? Oh right, you probably heard about the serial murders that happened last year, huh. It was definitely a crazy year. [Crazier than anyone could imagine really.]

Indeed. [He lets her take the net to examine it, frowning.] There are little sprites around here making a nuisance of themselves, causing mischief and stealing things. Including food!
[Truly unforgiveable! There's only room for one hungry thief here.]
[Truly unforgiveable! There's only room for one hungry thief here.]
Food, huh… [ She trails off thoughtfully, hefting the weight of the net between both of her hands. The thought of some little creature making off with a crepe crosses her mind…
They must be stopped. ] I have an idea.
[ Ann passes the net back to Yusuke and pulls her back off of her shoulder, rooting around in it for a moment before brandishing a few cookies, wrapped in a plastic baggie. ]
What if we use these? Set them up as bait, and lure them… think that'll work?
[ She'd been saving those to snack on later, but… she did end up costing him a catch. ]

[Yusuke takes the net back, surveying the cookies as she produces them. His expression shifts rapidly from one of curiosity to alarm.]
Bait? But they look so delicious...!
[Which is the whole idea, but try telling him that.]
