Shin Megami Tensei Persona: Dissonant Strain (Private RP)

[PresqueVu]

Yamada tried to find a way for his spear to be less conspicuous and frowned. His eyes roved over each of the students and tried to figure out just where each of them stood with the others. What exactly was the dynamic between them? He wasn't sure just where he should be with these people. He followed them out. He thought to speak with Ishikawa, but he was beside Yoshida and that wasn't gonna happen, so he instead caught up with Aber since he'd interacted with him before. He nodded to him, but wasn't sure just what to say.

He didn't have anything much to add to it because he just made his own food pretty much always. He didn't see much point in spending his money on pre-prepared food when he could make his own.

 

[Cinnonym]

"Yamada-senpai. Pleased to see you have come out of the closet." He nodded with a vague smile, finding his play on words quite humorous.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada sort of raised an eyebrow, not actually understanding the meaning of the words, but remembering the incident at lunch. "Yes...I apologize for my behavior. It must have seemed very strange."

 

[duckflesh]

Isoroku shrugged, following. "I don't know. Somewhere that a bunch of school kids can eat cheaply and then loiter for a while without getting kicked out. I know a decent Ramen joint..."

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber shrugged, not particularly worried about it; he caught sight of Mizushima ahead of the others and waved a hand, calling to her.

"Oi! Senpai!"

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro looked around to see who Fridmund was calling to, when he saw Kumiko up ahead, he mentally sighed. Of course she was coming...they were the most obvious group of kids ever. He wanted to protest how this was getting out of hand. That bringing everyone along when they still didn't know how much longer they would have control over their personas was a stupid idea. He wanted to say a lot of things.

But he just sighed and hung his head. "Hey, Roku," he started talking with his head still down, "How long do you think we can go without something to control our personas? I think its something we should bring up at dinner...We should try to regulate how often we use them."

 

[ShadowFolk]

Kumiko picked her head up, looking in the direction of the voice. "Hey!" she waved her hand as well. She started to mumble to herself about just getting through the night without any arguments. As the group approached, she counted heads. There was an addition to the last number. By no means would she ever have considered Yamada to break any sort of rule.

"All set?"

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro nodded with a sigh, "Yeah...we're gonna go head out to eat. Isoroku and I will go over everything we found out at the mall again over food." He looked her over, why was she just so extravagantly. God damn she stands out.


"We're going to a ramen joint Isoroku knows."

 

[ShadowFolk]

"A ramen place? Alright." she tapped her lips in thought. Kumiko hoped they had good taste in ramen. If they were going to discuss anything over something as cheap as that she could only pray that it was one of those diamond in the rough sort of shops.

 

[Cinnonym]

"I suppose we are stopping to fuel ourselves up before we attempt the tunnels again. I doubt we could sneak into a condemned area before the dark of night, besides." Eber put his hand over his hip where his knife was wedged between his body and his jeans out of habit, comforted by its presence.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada raised a brow at their interactions and nodded to Mizushima, trying to piece together what may be going on. He wanted to question one of them, but figured it was going to come up at dinner anyway. He glanced behind them at Junsui and sort of felt bad that someone so small and quiet got roped into something dangerous. He then scanned the entire group and tried to figure what sort of connection any of them had to one another.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro walked along with Isoroku and Rin, wondering what the hell to do about all of this mess. He let Isoroku lead the way, occasionally asking Rin questions about the notes in class since the other boy insisted he was too caught up thinking about his plans for tonight to recall them.

Kojiro felt upset at his friends constant lack to detail in class...but there was nothing he could do about it. Guess that's just how a geniuses brain operates.

 

[Daren58]

Rin tried her best to answer the occasional questions Kojiro asked her regarding class. "Um Kojiro-san, if you like I could show you my notes before class." She gave a small smile at him happy to help with something she felt at ease with.

 

[Cinnonym]

Your group arrives at the ramen shop TaeBowl; it attempts to stand out amongst its peers not by superior taste but by superior decor budget. Superior being highly subjective as it includes lots of leather and neon. You are awkwardly seated at a table in the corner because your group won't all fit at the bar.

Eber finds the place quite interesting, amused at the fluorescent palm tree behind the booth, "What was it that you were so keen to discuss, Ishikawa-senpai?"

 

[ShadowFolk]

The word 'Tacky' kept flashing in her head. It was offending her senses on the interior level. But it would have to do, she didn't pick the place and had no high hopes of the establishment Yoshida chose. Kumiko looked to Kojiro expectantly.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro took his seat and slid his sword under the table. He waited until everyone else was seated to start explaining. "Well gee, where to start. Well I guess first Isoroku and I should tell you the location of the Velvet Room. Its in the mall, in the china section of the Sankyu department store."

He looked over at Isoroku, "Next, there's the matter of the security system." Kojiro watched Yamada. He was a little uneasy about him being there. Since he had been spying on them. He partly wondered if he was a spy for Seiya. "Isoroku and I will run a test on that later...we'll let you know if it works." He looked over at his friend and nodded. "But mostly I wanted to talk about what Seiya and Igor said... We're in danger from more than just the Shadows."

 

[Daren58]

Rin found the ramen shop to be slightly offensive to the eyes, but she chose not to say anything. As she slid into her seat at the table, she sat her bag in her lap. She listened carefully as Kojiro mentioned where the Velvet room could be found and further when he mentioned what Igor and Seiya had said. "You mean using our Persona's right Kojiro-san?"

 

[PresqueVu]

He thought this place left much to be desired or seemed somehow out of place but he thought that perhaps it may surprise him, very similar to the odd group itself. Yamada was ready to listen to anything he had to say on this matter, but is a bit lost already. He was rather intent on learning already. He wanted to understand the personas, the shadows, the velvet room. "...How did each of you learn of all this?" He didn't want to be one step behind.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro ignored Yamada's question, figuring he'd answer it later and contiuned to talk. He nodded at Rin. "Yeah...Seiya-senpai said that using our personas as we do now is dangerous. Rin tried to talk to her about the Shadows and so did Isoroku and I-" Kojiro waited while Isoroku explained that they were rudely interrupted by someone while staring at Yamada,"But she just told us not to go back. And to ignore our Personas and the whole Shadow business. However Igor said that ignoring them was just as or even more dangerous."

He turned to Isoroku and urged him to explain what happened to him about fighting his persona that night on the train. when he was done Kojiro took over again, "Seiya-senpai says that things like that could happen. That they will turn on us unless we have a way to control them...but Igor and Eleanore warned that if we ignore them, they will come out on their own anyway. At any point in time...even in class. So we can't turn our back on it either."

 

[Daren58]

RIn shifted nervously in her seat. "So we run the risk of losing control either way? Did Igor say anything about how we might learn to control them?" She somehow doubted he did before she asked. Igor hadn't seemed very interested in answering questions the other night.
