“Nothing alike,” Chie says. Shit. She’s used a health potion. “God, I can’t believe how horny you are.”
“Whatever,” he says. “It’s totally natural, okay. You don’t think about it at all?”
Dragon fist combo. Goddamn. “Shut up.”
“You do,” Yosuke says. “Wow. That’s, like, that’s real-shit!” And Chie sends Tiny Fist flying out of the corner. Yosuke’s tempted to throw the controller out the window, but doesn’t. He does swear, though, at the top of his lungs, because he’s mad and he has every fucking right to be mad

Just started reading this today and AAAAAAAAH why didn't I pick it up sooner?
The whole cannibalism thing seems to much more disturbing when in a setting that isn't post-apocalyptic and the Demons are a bunch of teenagers that are hyperaware of the norms of society rather than a bunch of soldiers that barely remember how to act in society. I look forward to the next part with bated breath. *_*

I'm loving the entire perspective you've got on this fic, writer!anon - the team's interactions and mannerisms feel so natural, yet so off at the same time, as they would be feeling thanks to their new 'quirks'. This whole fic flows really well, so kudos! Looking forward to the next part! :)

Wow. Just started reading today and it's DDS/P4 but you pulled it off somehow! It's amazing the different way each member of the IT handles being turned into a horrid flesh-eating monster - Souji as always is king of the creepy. My favorite parts are Nanako's POV; poor kid, if only she knew *shivers*
Souji explaining what a cannibal is - HEARTBREAKING. Oh man D=

He calls Souji right after Adachi drives away from Chie’s living room. Chie’s mother brings over chips, which is nice, but not very filling. He’s tempted to ask for steak, but Chie’s right there and might crack his head open if he does.
“Hey, partner,” Yosuke says when Souji picks up.
“Hi,” Souji says. He sounds polite, which is weird, because Souji’s never… stiff around him. “I’m busy right now. Can I call you back?”
“Sure,” Yosuke says. He hangs up and looks at Chie.
“What’s going on?” she says. “That call ended fast.”
Yosuke does some calculations. No way that Adachi can get from his house to Souji’s in five minutes. Not unless there’s a special police helicopter or something.
The weird thing is, Yosuke always knew this day would happen. It kind of has to. There’s no way they can keep eating people and not get caught eventually. He always imagined he’d be caught in mid-bite in some seedy alleyway, but this works, too. They can rally the troops and then… and then what

Yukiko’s at Junes, too. She’s sitting in the food court with Shirogane. Yosuke takes one look at the empty tables around them, the way Yukiko’s fanning herself with one of Junes’ plastic menus, and Shirogane’s annoyed expression, and knows that Shirogane’s here for the same reason Adachi was at Chie’s. Yukiko’s doing her proper young lady impression, where she floats away into her thoughts and stays there; the fog lifts when she sees Yosuke and Chie. Maybe just Chie

Chie’s behind Shirogane. She’s on the phone-is she the one calling him? Doesn’t look like it. His phone goes to voicemail, but she’s still there. She looks paler than normal. After a while, she hands the phone to Yukiko, who also looks drawn. More bad news, Yosuke guesses. Great. This day is great. Every day is great at your Junes. We’re staffed by cannibals. Fire sale prices

give up. (4/the power remix) In the morning, her big brother wakes up and comes downstairs and makes breakfast for her. It’s Sunday, and normally Dad would be home, but today Souji says Dad is investigating something and won’t be back for a while. He’s in a good mood. They’re having rice and pickled radishes and sausage patties for breakfast. Nanako thinks about pointing out that the sausage patties aren’t healthy and that they should be eating fish instead, but her big brother doesn’t look tired or upset today, and he wasn’t throwing up into the toilet again, so she eats her breakfast without complaints. The food is good as usual. She wishes Souji would make more vegetables

Nanako’s so mad at him that she thinks she could cry. He’s being stupid. This isn’t how it’s supposed to go. She’s supposed to ask for his dirty clothes and he’s supposed to give them to her and then they go in the wash and then she’ll hang them out to dry

She wants to know what Yukiko’s plans are, if they’re going into the TV from the Dojima’s or if they’re going to-Yukiko can’t be planning to do that, no way. But it’s not like kidnapping’s good, either. She feels like she really is going to throw up, but she’s gotten pretty good at it, this whole vomiting into any open can or space, and when she catches her reflection in a window, winces, because she definitely looks it
