[this is going to take all of his cunning. not because he doesn't think he's capable of doing it, but because his ability to stop time and move within it is moronically, he thinks, limited to a small window of time before it gets too draining.]
[well, maybe it's not actually that moronic. if someone were able to stop time for an extended period, like, say, a year, wouldn't it look like they had randomly aged a year in a split second when time started flowing again? that seems like it'd cause way more problems than a largely negligible amount like a few minutes would — and, this isn't admittedly an ability that Dave is all that familiar with, even though he'd gone and bought it up immediately when they first began the game. he can't even remember what all exactly he bought, now that he thinks about it.]
[anyway, that internal monologue up there isn't actually internal, as Dave is prone to talking to himself, whether it's just in general or whether he's trying to figure something out. if Ren is still working on formulating a first impression, Dave's probably not helping out much by mumbling like the weirdo he is over on the other side of the pool.]
[but then he stops, and rolls his shoulders — and then, he goes ahead and takes a step like he's about to walk right into the pool.]
[from Ren and Ryuji's perspective, though, it probably looks like he'd just teleported across the pool, feet landing squarely on the ground next to them, like he had been floating. the mask is safely out of the pool, a good distance away from them, because Dave wasn't sure if it'd arc or do something worse when time started flowing again.]
[mission accomplished? mission accomplished. he's pretty sure he managed to get away unsinged, too.]
There you go. Dunno if you should wait for it to dry off or not, but, you guys would definitely know better than I do. My face accessory's pretty boring compared to yours.

[It's not like he was expecting fireworks or some ridiculously fancy, crazy fanfare type of thing- but nonetheless, he absolutely sticks to his guns on this one. Cool. It wasn't even a blink of an eye, less than that, a division of time by 0, and as he had kept his focus spun completely on the edge of the pool, Dave is suddenly back behind them, and the mask has been displaced from that sublimely nasty body of water.
Ryuji, from an angle below, gives a good thumbs up. What else do you do in a situation like this anyway?]
Hahaha... YEAH! Did you see that? [As he sits up, he gives Ren a friendly pat on the shoulder- complete with a small amount of static shock that ensues from electrons jumped to a less excited state. Pikaryu in action.] Freakin' unbelievable. Holy shit, you two would make... like... the world's biggest kickass team the universe has ever seen!
[He's way too amenable about this for someone who nearly just endured heart stopping wattage jolted right through his heart. Probably should take it easy and get a moment or two of rest instead of raring to go, but perseverance is practically Ryuji's middle name. He staggers a bit upward, holding onto his side and swaying once vertical again. As if to dispel any worries about his health or well being, he remembers the small shock he gave Ren when he touched him, and holds both hands forward from the sides of his body, hovering over both of their heads... just to see if their hair would start rising upward.
And when his carefree attitude to this is enough for all three of them, he starts walking over to his persona's vessel. It's wet, and, yeah, he's slightly worried that this shit is going to zap the hell out of him, but he doesn't think he needs to touch it to get it to accept him.]
Hey old buddy. Good to see you're still kickin'. I missed ya. [He holds his hand out over it as it starts to glow with blue fire, then simply... disappear. He'll leave whatever explanation this should need up to Ren. He's the ringleader of this operation, anyway. And besides, Ryuji never really understood all of it anyway.]

Sakamoto-san.

That should do.
[ There's a small pause and then: ]
There's something I want you to do for me.

It is.
I was asked if I could make a game or two.
So far, this is what I've come up with.
[ Ryuji'll find two (2) .exe files attached. Their names are "crawl" and "vscrawl" respectively. It's almost like he'd expected him to be receptive to it... ]
I'd appreciate your testing them. They should be fully functional, though I haven't bothered to extensively play them.

You do.
Are you familiar with Snaked? If not, it's a simple game in which you controlled a serpent that grew larger each time it ate. With the boundaries you were given, it became progressively more difficult to avoid your own body. Once you collided with it, the game ended.
[ And, true to form, the communicator sends it broken up into two texts because he's gone on for a bit. ]
There was popular online multiplayer variant called Crawl.er. It's that, with some modifications to adhere to the limitations of the communicators. You should be able to invite others as needed for the versus mode.

Oh. Yeah! I think I've heard of that. It used to be on old cell phones, right?
[He boots up the first exe, and plays a round, intentionally ending his game pretty early on.
Well, if anything, it's a source of amusement for his constantly bored state.]
This is really cool.
You're doing great stuff, man!

That's right. It was popularized by the Tokia 6110.
[ Ryo figures he's giving it a whirl, so he's a little more delayed when the second response comes in. He's been busy organizing. ]
Are there any glitches or adjustments you'd make?
[ The compliment may or may not have been acknowledged. He doesn't think it's particularly good work, but those thoughts aren't actually self-deprecating as much as they don't weigh much into the overall result of this. He's just trying to make sure it serves well the person who wants it from him. If they enjoy it and like it, then that's fine by him. ]

The Tokia 6110... god, I think my mom had one of those back when she was my age. I wish I could go home and like... see if that's still around somewhere in storage just to get that vintage game effect
But this is pretty close either way
[Okay, this might be his new obsession. Someone trying to tell him something? Sorry, playing crawler. Dinner time? Crawler. Kiss me? Crawler.
Not that the last one is happening any time soon, but hey, a boy can dream, can't he?]
Hmm... no glitches so far?
Any chance you could add some color?
OR AN EASTER EGG
Like if you get to a certain score and intentionally crash the game, it tells you that you're going to be visited by a spooky henohenomoji
