Who: Tom, Renju and anyone else brave enough
What: Tom and Renju think about going into Paradise
Where: Room 22-c
When: There are no classes and no clubs
Why: Cause I need more role playing!

Thomas sat in classroom 22-C. He had cleared off the teachers desk, and had set out the materials, various powders, and chemicals in small glass containers. He had set out pieces of fabric to work on, and a printed set of instructions that he repeatedly looked at.
He began pulling on his gloves, and let out a breath.

"Okay... I think I'm ready."

Tom reached up his sleeve and pulled out his knife then flipped it open to make sure he had it at the ready.

"I'm not going to join the team just because I have a persona. And I not going to just assume membership either. I work better by myself."

He flipped the knife closed and looked at Renju.

"Besides Ikeda is the one who really took charge. Speaking of which, you should let her know your planning this. Or at least let one of them know where... we'll be, just in case."

This time Renju was entirely unconvinced, but the time on her cell was slowly creeping up towards the hour, so she set aside the subject for now. "I hadn't been planning to." Truth be told, the thought actually hadn't crossed her mind. "I think I can handle a short trip by myself, and if not, I can just leave."

A moment later, she did a bit of a double-take. "'We', you said? Are you volunteering to come along, senpai?"

	Tom pulled out his cellphone and checked it's battery life. Once confirmed he put it in his pocket and looked at the tiny 2nd year. "Of course. You don't have any combat training, and very little experience with Paradise. Plus, like I said, I wanted to observe Paradise when there isn't a victim in it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I just didn't think..." She paused, shook her head again, and finally looked back up with a shrug. "Anyway, I'd be stupid to say no."

With that, she hopped off the desk and headed for the door. Once she was there, she shrugged her bag off her shoulder and crouched down next to it, pulling out the kama she'd picked up during the school meeting, their blades wrapped in scarves that she carefully unwound and set on top of the bag.

	As Renju pulled out her weapons, Tom unbuttoned his coat. He reached up tot the rolled up black pouches tied up just under his arms, and let them unrool to reveal his throwing knives. "So do you have a specific goal in mind, or is this just sheer study?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I had just been planning to practice, but if we can find out anything that might help us stop this at the source..." She checked the phone, then looked up at the door, taking her kama in her other hand. She was going to need to figure out a way to juggle them and the phone somehow, if she was going to keep this up... "One more minute." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I would say we should try to see if we can't create some sort of base of operations on the other side, a place to keep our weapons, and possibly train with them."

He thought for a moment, and looked to Renju.

"We already know that dungeons don't go away even after the Shadow is gone. So there's not too much we need to look into.

We can try and keep track of any shadows we fight and their weaknesses. Though if you want to practice with you're weapons I can help with that outside of Paradise."

Tom rolled his shoulders, and took a deep breath. Then nodded to her to open the door.

	"I may take you up on that offer later on. For now, though, I need some time to get used to this place." Her phone chimed in her hand, and she quickly tucked it under her arm and swung the door open. Whether she'd admit it or not, she felt a little more confident about coming here now that she had someone else with her. "Here we are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom walked forward to the door. As it opened he looked down toward Renju. He'd already observed these people from afar, but after his encounter with Akuba, he thought it'd be a good idea to begin probing them, figuring them out. To understand them in case they were replaced by their shadow selves, the killer tried to fake a message from them.

"So is it morality that drives you into Paradies?"

"Morality?"

That was an unexpected question. Then again, everything he said seemed to throw her off somehow. "No, it's..."

There was a bit of a beat before she finished her answer. Why had she decided to do all this? She could have just ignored Paradise entirely, ignored the existence of her Persona, and gone on with her life. Instead she'd gotten embroiled in everything almost without realizing it, and certainly without really thinking about it. Why?

She shook her head quickly before answering. "I have this power--it's not something I could just ignore." It wasn't a completely satisfactory answer, but it was sufficient. She wasn't exactly planning to bare her soul to him. Or to herself, but that thought was hurriedly suppressed.

"Actually it is."

Tom shrugged and looked at her, pulling out one of his knives.

"I mean the power only comes out in Paradise, so as long as you don't come into Paradise you can completely ignore it.

But... actually... you're one of the only ones entering Paradise when no one's in danger."

He rolled his shoulders and paused for a moment.

"Actually, now that I think about it, given how easy it would be to do so, I'm surprised no one else has bothered to ignore this."
