Day 374 | Action | Open
Backside of the TV

[You're in a maze. It might be a sauna, hot and muggy and thick with steam. Or maybe it's a strip club, dark with violet curtains covering the walls and secret corners with music pounding through the air and whispers you can't quite make out as you wander the corridors. Maybe you're in what looks like a video game with blocky, artificial looking dungeon walls and floors. Or perhaps it's a secret base like you'd see in an action movie, the kind with sliding blast doors and scaffolding to climb around on. Maybe your maze is beautiful, like a fairy tale, or the way a child would imagine heaven, full of clouds and flowers and somehow heartbreakingly sad.

You can wander around whichever maze you find yourself in. Maybe you'll stay there, maybe they all begin to blur together and you find yourself drifting from one to another as you explore the hallways. They all have one thing in common though; they're full of Shadows, dark monsters that you can sneak past or fight. Probably fight, since Kanji is with you every step of the way, folding chair sling easily over his shoulder and looking for some action. He's wearing a pair of glasses, and you may notice you have a pair on, too. Pick whatever style you'd like, but if you take them off your surroundings will be lost in a fog that makes your head hurt. Try not to get lost in it.]

	[ But what if they talk about the hot springs. ] It's fine, y'know. Whatever that was. Just wish you could tell me what th' hell that was about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[NOPE] Just stuff, okay! It was just them messin' with me that's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-07 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. I'm just sayin', it wasn't as bad as you think. At least you didn't try to stab me or nothin'. [ Unlike Euphie. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thats what my Shadow was like. [Quietly, eyes on the steam and sauna benches around them.] I may not like that, but it's a part of me and I can accept it. That's kinda how this place works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-09 12:50 pm UTC (link)
	So it's somethin' like... like a person made up of th' stuff you don't really like about yourself? [ Terrifying. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2016-05-09 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	More like is the stuff you pretend doesn't exist, or don't wanna admit is a part of you. It kind of sucks, but sometimes it ain't all bad, facin' it head on like that. And all my friends who have Personas have done it, so it ain't like anybody can judge anyone else for what they see. We've all been there, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-09 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	[ He nods. Okay. That makes sense, maybe, as much sense as anything can make here. ] So, what now? What're we doin' here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2016-05-09 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Training, probably. We come back to these places a lot to fight Shadows and get stronger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-11 08:47 am UTC (link)
	So... you can show me what your, uh. Persona? What it looks like? [ No little piggies to spook. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, yeah, I guess. [He looks around and spots three Shadows rounding the nearest corner of the maze. He nods in their direction.] Okay, I'll show you on them. I remember they were weak to electrical attacks so it should be a piece of cake.

[He charges over without any hesitation, feeling for that bright blue spark in his heart, the thing that makes him who he is, all the good stuff and bad stuff that's a part of him and then all the sudden his Persona shimmers into existence over him, huge and crackling with static electricity. He grins.]

Break 'em, Take-Mikazuchi! [There's a flash of lightning and then the Shadows are gone, melting into real shadows that disappear immediately. Take-Mikazuchi vanishes after a moment, too, and then it's just them.]

	[ It's exactly as fast and flashy and impressive as he hoped it would be, though nothing could ever have actually prepared him for what's happening here. He takes a few instinctive steps back, feeling excitement and anxiety coil in his belly like snakes. He trusts Kanji though. This is fine. ] Holy shit Kanji! That was awesome! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2016-05-13 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	I know, right? [A typical Kanji reaction to a compliment. Still, it feels good being back here doing this kind of thing. He's good at it and he likes it. It's kind of fun, except for the whole people getting murdered thing. Otherwise it's great.] Usually everyone is here so we can all fight together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-14 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ It's a good reaction. Everyone can agree that it was awesome. ] Well, uh. I'm here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2016-05-15 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	Aw yeah, that's right! Okay, let's just explore and fight stuff if we find it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-17 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Alright! Think we can find somethin' for me to hit stuff with? I mean, 'm okay with punchin' but, uh... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2016-05-17 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Probably. Lots of times here's chests and stuff with supplies in 'em if you look hard. How's your fingers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-05-20 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, uh. [ He takes a look, as if he completely forgot that there's something wrong with his fingers, which isn't weird because everything is fine. ] All there. Just gimme somethin' to bash shit with an' I'll be golden. (Reply to this) (Parent)
