GAME 99
Who: Who normally plays games?
Where: Where are they normally played?
When: Day 152, morning
What: What do you think?

[The call is sounded and Persona is on the throne. The game's "volunteers" are lying on plush beds with what seem to be giant screens with shadowy figures beside them, rather than doors.]

Who is the true "self?" Is it what you see? Or is it someone else?

Is there another side of you? Your friends?

Would you know it if you saw it?

	[The yellow-eyed Night coughs into a hand, spraying blood between his fingers -- then reaches out towards the group with his bloody hand, still holding onto the bed with his other] I am you-! And I'm so scared! I feel terrible, and it's scaring me so much-! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Looks between the two Night's.] No one do anything rash. This is Persona. They do games of the Heart. We might do damage we don't want to do. [Slowly approaches the yellow eyed Night.] Can you tell me what's wrong? Why you feel terrible? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The yellow-eyed Night looks up at Rory and his tears well up again] Oh, I'm in so much pain, everything hurts, and I'm so so hungry, and my ears are ringing and my eyes are so terribly blurry! I'm so scared! What's wrong with me? Take care of me! Please take care of me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lone_centurion 2010-07-25 03:28 am UTC (link)
	[Retracts the gun after a moment's hesitation, stepping closer to the yellow eyed Night.] I don't know what's wrong with you. But we'll find someone who can figure it out, all right? We'll take care of you. You're a part of Night, right? [Holds out a hand.] That's how Persona's game are supposed to go. And if you're Night, we're here for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[wait wait wait. there is something so messed up about all of this. gesturing for Brass to hold off on the hand-holding for a minute. and then addressing the Night closer to him again:] Night... is this really what's going on in your head? You do know we'll take care of you, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevercomingback 2010-07-25 03:31 am UTC (link)
	[Lowering the knife, but still holding it, ready in case something else appears.] [Turning to the real Night.] Is what the other one's saying true? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[shaking his head] No. I don't think like that. I don't want that. I'm fine. I'm not interested in being coddled. I don't feel-- (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crossboundaries 2010-07-25 03:41 am UTC (link)
	[Yellow-eyed Night coughs blood again.] What? Is the problem that you can't hear me or you don't want to hear me? I am you! You ache like this! You can barely hear! Your vision is blurry! Isn't that worth being coddled over? Please, someone--! [he reaches out towards the group again] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

....

[Brass knew Bond didn't want him to, but his own mind was telling him otherwise. After a moment, he made a decision and moved to take the yellow eyed Night's hand.]

Night, it's not just you who doesn't want to cause trouble. But if something is wrong, it's better to be straight forward. That way it can be dealt with. If you just ignore it, things will only be worse.

	Look at the eyes, Brass. That's not the real Night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crossboundaries 2010-07-25 04:13 am UTC (link)
	[The yellow-eyed Night holds very, very tight to Brass's hand. It feels a little... odd. Still crying, he looks vaguely to the side of Night.] See? They want to coddle me! They don't want that front you're putting up. They know that I'm the REAL you. [to Brass] You'll accept me, right? Please comfort me! I'm so scared! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Night, say something! Is he right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Yeah...probably not noticing much with muted sense of touch.]

...we want to help Night. You're a part of him. The part that's scared because of that illness. [Looks at the real Night.] Everyone has a moment of weakness. We know that. And we know at times you need comfort.

Bad memories, bad experiences, and pains... [Squeezes the Shadow's hand gently.] We're here for you when you need it, Night. [Looks at the Shadow.] You won't have to be scared with us here.

	[The shadow pauses, squeezing Brass's hand tighter, then seems to gather a darkness around it, writhing.] I am you. I'll show you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crossboundaries 2010-07-25 04:38 am UTC (link)
	[The darkness grows thicker. Abruptly, beside the rest of the group, Night falls to his knees, then to the floor, apparently in a dead faint. There's no time to react, though; the shadow is growing, the hospital bed falling over with a clatter...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
