Shin Megami Tensei Persona: Dissonant Strain (Private RP)

[Cinnonym]

To answer Rin: "It's just something I'm able to do... Maybe it's developed out of necessity over the years. We'll be able to communicate by radio, so I can let you know your standing, how deep you've gone, and what's around you as far as enemies go." Then, to Kojiro, "It's all there! You should have everything you need."

Eber flipped through the papers as well--but seemed unconvinced. "Not everything... The door in which we entered with Kurado that night is not on the map. I particularly remember it being on the west end of town... Yet, there are no markers west of even the school."

"Well, that one's... off limits."

The German frowned. Related to her "sponsors", perhaps. What businesses or investors were on that side of the city?

 

[ShadowFolk]

'Off limits?' She feared that the choice of Seiya's words would ultimately get to everyone's (including her own) curiosity. 'Why off limits?' It was bound to happen sooner or later, so she kept her mouth shut for now. It was best not to voice that in front of Seiya anyway.

 

[Rosen2012]

'The door they went through with Kurado? And its off limits...?' Kojiro was very curious. But he kept looking at his papers and taking note of the nearest entrances.

"So...Seiya-senpai, which entrance will we be using tonight?"

 

[Cinnonym]

"There's an alley behind a club downtown; an old storage shed was turned into a portal. Some of them are only active during certain times of the day, and that one just so happens to fire up at midnight. As long as we're back out of it by three A.M., it should be completely safe to use!"

Despite the questionable nature of the door, she seemed quite at ease with it.

 

[ShadowFolk]

Kumiko raised up one finger in question. "And if we are not back by three A.M.? What happens then?" she was pretty sure she knew the answer. But still wanted to hear it from Seiya's lips.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro gives a slow but unsure nod. "Well if you say its safe..." He looks through his papers again and his mind drifts back to Kurado. "Say, I have another question, Seiya-senpai....Other than you, Kurado, and us...are there any other persona users?"

He looks up from the papers. "In the dreams we had, it always felt like there were other people on the train. Was that just the vibe of you two and everyone in this room, or are their more people working with you and your green haired buddy?"

 

[Cinnonym]

"Theeeennn..." Hikaru dragged out the word while she considered the consequences of being late, "We'll... have to find another door! That's all."

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada thought it was strange how Seiya was picking and choosing which questions to answer, but was still eager to try out both the headset and the doors. "How many of them could there possibly be?"

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro crossed his arms at being ignored. 'I'll just take that as a yes.' he leaned back in his seat, now uninterested in anything Seiya had to say since she was just going to pick and choose who to respond to.

 

[Cinnonym]

"There's... a lot. Some of them are impossible to get to... And others just open up to nothingness. Even we haven't tested them all, there's no point really. Oh, and I wouldn't worry too much about Mori-sama. He can't enter your rooms--he won't be able to tell you're not in them, sleeping. Ah..."

Hikaru thought back a moment, frowning.

"Other users... I've only met two other Persona users. So far, anyway. And I used to think three was a lot... Now there're so many..." Concerned, she looked down at the floor. "I wish I knew what the reason was, that you've all awoken."

 

[Keppler]

Two others?

"Who're the others?" Isoroku didn't really expect an answer, given how many of their questions so far had been danced around.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro was also surprised he sat back up wanting the answer as well, "Another partner of yours perhaps? Do they work for the sponsor too?"

 

[Cinnonym]

"I-I guess you could say that..."

Hikaru looked uncomfortable with the current subject.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro nodded, "So...are we ever going to meet them? Or are they just gonna work on their own thing like Kurado?"

He was curious about this other person. He was curious about Kurado too. He didn't really care if they joined them or not, but he wanted to know what or who else was out there.

 

[Cinnonym]

"Maybe it's best if everyone got some rest before we leave campus."

The sentence tumbled out of her mouth as she gathered her things together.

"I'll meet you outside the gates at midnight!"

As the Secretary ran off, Eber's brow quirked with interest. "...I suppose she has a fair point, regardless of the oddity."

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro sighed and gave a small nod. "Grabbing some food and resting up sounds like a good plan." He tucked his papers into his bag.

 

[ShadowFolk]

'Wow...she really doesn't like to talk about that organization of hers.' Kumiko shrugged her shoulders. What could she do? There wasn't much to do but wait for midnight. The only decision now was how to pass the time until then. She took the papers and stowed them away in her bag, leaving the room. She lingered outside thinking things over.

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber wandered out of the room with the others. He had his phone in his hand, halfway through a text to Akinari, but he paused when he saw Kumiko.

"Are you not returning to sleep? You will not get the chance to afterwards."

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada watched as Seiya rushed off and looked uncomfortable. He worried about this organization more and more every time the subject was brought up. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do until time to go. Really he just wanted to go. He wanted to learn about it more first hand.

 

[ShadowFolk]

"Huh?" she snapped out of her thoughts, noticing Eber. "Oh, yeah. That would probably be a good idea, huh? I was just...thinking a bit too much about all of this a guess." Kumiko could not help but look him over. "Care to walk with me?"
