destinystrings | What color would you paint the sun? [OPEN]

Who: Allelujah (and possibly Hallelujah) and open.
Where: Capricorn ward, Sagittarius ward
Summary: Weeeooo weeeooo weeeooo newbie alert. With a weird collar. Being in the Tower of Animus for a while doesn't make you very trusting of new places.
Warnings: Hallelujah is a warning (foul language, violence, etc.). Also just being from Animus comes with warnings involving possible discussion of body horror, death, mental manipulation, and general awful.

[Capricorn]

[Another night of restless sleep. He'd gone to bed, nodding briefly to his roommates, and tried to focus on getting to bed. Normally it was fairly easy, but tonight he kept having trouble getting his brain to stop focusing on things. Finally, he'd pushed away thoughts of horror and blood and gone to sleep… and then he'd had a dream.]

[Persona… The word stays with him as he wakes up… in a very different place. A place with a sun shining brightly, and grass under his fingers. … Has he been sleepwalking? He rises, looking around. Allelujah brushes himself off and starts to walk, trying to find the stairs.]

[His collar itches a bit, and he scratches it, glancing at the yellow fluid running through it. It should be time for a checkup soon… he'll deal with that when the day comes.]

[… Finding the stairs is taking longer than it should.]

[Sagittarius]

[… Well. He's walked for a while, and not found the stairs - he's found an entirely different setting. His movements slow as he becomes even more cautious - he doesn't even have a gun on him.]

[There are people milling about, all looking at him strangely. It's not like he's dressed in anything weird, just his normal clothes. Still, he keeps walking, picking his way through the streets. A punk smirks at him, and he just keeps walking. He doesn't want to cause trouble - he just wants to get back to his room.]

Has anyone told you about Personas yet?

[He blinks a little in confusion, and then remembers his earlier conversation.]

Briefly...

You first get yours when you're in a high stress situation. Usually by being attacked. After that you can summon them whenever you want.

... About that. It's... a very bad idea to put me in a high stress situation. It's not a Persona you'd need to worry about.

It's your choice. I'm just telling you how it usually happens.

I just... when that kind of situation happens, Hallelujah shows up. And... then people get hurt.

-Well, if it's around the monsters after midnight, they're aggressive anyway.

I guess that's not so bad.

My name's Setsuna Kai. What's yours?

Setsuna... ah. One of my coworkers is named Setsuna.

My name is Allelujah. Allelujah Haptism.

Setsuna's an okay name, I guess. [No special feelings.]

Nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

... Where should I go from here?

[He's... not sure what to do.]

The city hall will help get you settled in with an apartment and everything.

... And how much is this apartment?

Supposedly free. They don't want to have a big homeless problem with Visitors.

You probably won't have any problems, since you're an adult.

... Ah. Are they trying to force all those underage to go to school?

At least the elementary students. I don't know about the high schoolers.

Fortunately for me, I'm past that age.

You're lucky.

[Sulking now.]

Well, I never went to any sort of public school, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

Private school?

... More like private tutoring.

I don't know anyone who's been through that.

It... ah. Wasn't the greatest situation.

[Wow that seems like something he shouldn't ask about.]

Sorry to hear that.

Do you need a guide around the city?
