Who: Noda and OPEN
Where: The Capricorn district's park
Summary: Noda's been MIA because he had holed himself up in his own apartment room and is pretty out of shape, so he's trying to get himself back into shape
Warnings: Hello violence.
Ever since the shadow event, Noda has been missing in action. If anyone were to have seen him it was during his late night trips to an open store to restock on food, but otherwise he had secluded himself away from socializing completely.

The reason behind his shut-in behavior for the last month or so was exactly what it was: the shadow beings. Unlike those who had acknowledged the shadows, Noda did not get even close to acknowledging his own, and when the shadows disappeared he immediately disappeared from human contact, reverting back to how he was while he was living once before.

What got him out of his room? The past month or so of not moving his body has made him so out of shape. He was one step away from hating himself even more before he took his halberd to get out for some training.

All that was left was avoiding any of those who might have seen his shameful shadow during the event...

...Well, to be honest, as soon as he began to compare Noda is the Hunters in Tokyo, he should've expected this. So much for trying to help and use that Persona, huh.

"Wait-!" Drawing his own sword- this is everything he doesn't want to do, ugh- he waves off Lailah to go deal with the demon. Why does he always say and do the wrong thing when it comes to people?

Drat the luck. He wants to be confident he can get out unscathed, but the only way to halt the halberd is to use his own skills. (As if his sword can do that.) And unfortunately, "I don't wish to hurt you!"

"Hmph, I can take care of this on my own! I do not require your help." He said as he summoned his own persona. He was a bit reluctant to resort to his persona so easily, but this demon was going proving to be a little more difficult to handle on his own.

Amarok gets summoned and dashes to the demon to swipe some attacks as well.

"Tch, resorting to this..." Noda grumbled under his breath.

...Jonathan is just going to keep his doubts about his first statement shut for now.

At least, he doesn't seem intent on attack him again. He gets Samson to cast Tarujaka- that, at least, helps a bit without outright attacking. He's (understandably) nervous about saying anything else.

"...Having help is never a detriment," he suddenly says.

"I have only ventured out as a means of training, not to be burdened by someone." Noda replied, growling as he focused on his glare at the demon. How pathetic his shadow was still fresh in his mind even after over a month, and remembering how the shadow hid behind his acquaintances was embarrassing.

And embarrassment made him even more angry.

"Tch...!" He gripped his halberd tighter before kicking off to dash towards the demon who was now pretty much ganged up by two other opposing beings.

It would be really nice if Noda stopped doing that. At least, the demon should be more than dead by now.

Jonathan may be more ashamed than Noda, though- burdened? That's... a bit harsh. He elects to shove it aside for now, but can't quite tab it completely on Noda being rude. He is new, and hasn't... done much.

He's not going to say much, but willing his Persona and Lailah back should be message enough. "...Forgive my intrusion."
