Shin Megami Tensei Persona: Dissonant Strain (Private RP)

[duckflesh]

Realizing that he was quite interested in taking this deal, Isoroku nodded and immediately turned and began walking toward the school, gesturing that the others should follow. "You're not taking the fall this way," he whispered to Kojiro, clamping a hand on his shoulder. "Besides, I think I was on to something."

He turned and nodded to Seiya again as he was leaving. "I believe you heard me correctly, Seiya Senpai. Please, let us discuss it tomorrow. I also wanted to talk to you about joining student council. Good night. Stay safe."

 

[Cinnonym]

Hikaru paused her conversation, "Hey, wait a minute! You..." She made a wordless noise of frustration and ran ahead into the subway station.

Eber jogged to catch up with the rest of you, casting backward glances over his shoulder as though expecting the rest of the Student Council team to pop up as well, "Where does she think she is going? To catch other students breaking curfew or...? Why would Igor not tell us if we had other allies?"

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro felt a little relieved by what Isoroku had done. He'd have to thank him later...In the mean time he turned to the freshman.

"Actually I wanted to ask Igor if anyone else had had the dreams...but we left so quickly. I have a lot of questions my next time to the Velvet Room, I doubt he'll answer though..." He turned to Isoroku and Rin, "We should all meet up for lunch tomorrow."

 

[duckflesh]

Isoroku snorted.

"Did Igor tell us a single thing we didn't already know? What a vastly unhelpful little troll. I think he's using us, and he won't even really tell us what for. Yes, I think Seiya is already neck deep in this business."

He sighed, taking a deep breath.

"Lunch tomorrow is a good idea. As for tonight... do you think we should just walk in through the main gates, and tell them we got approval from Seiya? Or should we still sneak in?"

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro shook his head furiously, "Sneak in! Oh god, if she's out and about I don't want to risk seeing Mori or any of the other's from student council. They are not as forgiving." He stopped and turned to the German kid.

"Hey, you're coming to lunch tomorrow too, kid...um...what's your name?"

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber frowned at being addressed in such a manner but answered nonetheless, "Fridmund."

 

[Rosen2012]

"Fri-Fru---" Kojiro shook his head, "Fli--oh crap I should not be this bad at foreign names, my Mother would kill me. Frimun-kun, will you join us tomorrow for lunch?"

 

[Cinnonym]

He quirked an eyebrow at Isoroku to see if he wanted to give his name a try.

 

[duckflesh]

Isoroku smirked.

"Frid-mund," he enunciated carefully. "It helps if you get into English-speaking mode first. English is partly based on German."

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro scratched his head, "Eh, I speak English... at home usually...to my Mother when she's around." He shrugged. Whatever, he'd practice later.

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber felt that Isoroku was being a smartass, but declined to state it.

"I suppose I have little choice... If we will be returning to the tunnels, we must learn to get along. For now, though," he smirked, "I think I have had enough of this."

The exchange student left the three to themselves, heading back to campus alone.

 

[duckflesh]

Isoroku watched him go, then threw his arms over Rin and Kojiro's shoulders-- an awkward arrangement considering the height differences involved.

"Shall we, gang? You know, I leave you guys alone for five minutes, and I come back to find you fighting zombies and God knows what else. It never fails."

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro crossed his arms and watched Fridmund go, "Great....he seems especially friendly..." He turned his head to Isoroku, "But, hey! I've got some questions for you? Like what happened? You had us worried when you passed out....also....That!" He pointed to the gun at Isoroku's side, "Is no stun gun."

 

[duckflesh]

"Ah. I decided to have a talk with the shadows. In case you're wondering-- you know that 'joining the many' stuff they were talking about? Yes, I discovered that 'joining the many' is extremely similar to death. Extremely similar. So I decided to wake up. I had to fight Leviathan first... did you guys have to fight yours?"

He readjusted the hem of his shirt to cover his pistol. He briefly considered trying to lie about it, but knew that it wouldn't fly.

"As for the gun... maybe... maybe just don't worry about that."

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro gave Isoroku a disbelieving look about the gun, but shook his head. "No, no one else blacked out...Rin and I stood over you and protected you. She did a great job beating the monsters back with her book. You should thank her..." His mind trailed off, "I wonder why you had to fight yours..."

 

[duckflesh]

"It hadn't occurred to me that I was vulnerable while I was out. Thank you guys."

He gave Rin's shoulder an affectionate squeeze. "Looks like I was wrong to give you shit about the book. Make sure to keep it handy from now on!"

For a moment, he looked thoughtful.

"You guys didn't fight your Personas, huh? Eh, I'm sure it's not significant."

 

[Cinnonym]

(Check?)

 

[Daren58]

Rin clutched her book tighter and gave a weak nod at their words. She even managed to blush a little. She glanced over at them, trying to ignore Isoroku's arm on her shoulder to prevent further blushing. "So um what do you think we should do? I mean should we do what Igor and Eleanor said and fight the shadows?"

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro shrugged. "There are a lot of things on my mind about those two...but we should go over everything tomorrow at lunch. Let's not stay up any longer than we need to tonight." He checked his watch, "Holy crap we are gonna get no sleep..."

 

[duckflesh]

Isoroku allowed Kojiro to lead the way and get them safely back onto campus. Outside the boy's dorm building, he nodded to them both.

"It was an... interesting night. I'll see you both tomorrow."
