Takeru's kissing booth work thread (name subject to change):

He had left Telos in charge of the Challenge Zone. His Prime Counterpart was recovering with his Initial counterpart from traumatic injuries. Henry was up to god-knows-what (and it was probably best for his sanity not to ask).
Which left him to do the most important task of all.
Bringing back tickets, and actual advertising of the Challenge Zone.
Thus, he was working at the kissing booth, with his much more (apparently) "Mature and handsome" look befitting his task.
"Alright. Let's get this over with." He muttered.
This would at least be kind of fun. Hopefully.

Mature Takeru::

"W-what are you-? Oh. You mean my Prime counterpart. Look, i'm sorry about that, and it's complicated, but i'm. Not. Hi-URK!" Takeru said, suddenly clutching himself around the chest. He briefly seemed to flicker out of existence before coming back.
"I'm sorry about that. Little... snarl up of things. Ignore it. Look, i'm sorry my past version ignored you, but if you have a complaint about him kissing your partner, take it to him. He's in the infirmary. Here, have a ticket, and let's end it at that." Takeru said, wanting to get him out as soon as possible to inspect his Initial Self, who must have had SOMETHING happen to him, judging from what had just happened. The resulting change had briefly caused him to waver out of existence, but he hoped that the man's drunkeness would serve as a cover for it.

"Hey, what the hell are you-" Takeru said as Shun grabbed his face. He listened to him, and then said an answer.
"Fine, he was in a hurry back then, and he had to choose. He chose her. Why, I don't know, and don't remember at all. Ask him if you want to know. And if you want a kiss, fine. Take one." He said his right hand grabbed a Hershey's kisses, and put in front of him.
"I'm not in the mood for anymore complaints. So take the kiss then, and leave. And don't get any funny ideas." Takeru said, already quietly summoning his persona, just waiting for the fool to make one wrong move...

A voice rang out from the shadows. Someone had clearly been watching them and was disappointed at Takeru's attempt of chickening out of his duty. Seriously?! He was gonna volunteer for a kissing booth and then just give candy to whoever he wasn't interested in? It was pathetic and the terrorist wouldn't stand for it! She didn't bother wasting any time. Her Persona would appear and swiftly fire off a blast of wind at Takeru's back. It wouldn't harm him, though, of course. All it'd do is push him -- and his lips -- forward. He'd be knocked right into a kiss to Shunnosuke if this worked out as planned. If it didn't, well... she honestly didn't care much. She was just doing this for shits and giggles.

Without another word she'd zip off using Shadow Accel and would be gone as quickly as she had appeared.

That was Iris's big mistake. Before she could do anything, she suddenly found herself unable to move, bound by a powerful force of gravity.
"I would recommend you do not fight back. You would fall very easily in a fight against my master in his current state of power" came a voice, which belonged to Takeru's persona, who was behind Iris. The gravitational force was also keeping Iris from moving as well, and turning her head.

"Stay there, and don't move."It said before taking his attention off of her. Iris would also find it impossible to move her persona in any way as well, and any attacks to break free were quickly suppressed by the gravitational force generated by the persona.

Unfortunately for Takeru, who was trying real hard to be a cool guy, Iris was now immune to soul skills... and supernatural abilities in general... and literally any type of damage, attack, or skill used against her. His poorly handled and ill-defined attempts at godmodding would not stop Iris because within this Freelance Zone nobody was obligated to abide by the rules of the system; they were free to do things outside the boundaries of what they could normally do for whatever reason. That was why Azami the person didn't immediately reach through his laptop screen and slap Telos the person in the face for trying this. It was also why there were three separate versions of Takeru running around -- two of which were able to bypass the normal progression system and instantly skip to maxed prime and maxed ultimate respectively.

So now that Iris was literally immune to everything ever and, for good measure, had the ability to destroy entire solar systems by coughing, she'd waltz right out of the topic unaffected by Takeru's attempts at restraining her. She also stole the Hershey kisses. All of them. They were instantly in her pockets because reasons.
