Art project [Action] [OPEN]

Hand me some of the blue ones....

[People in the Scorpio district today might notice a young girl decorating the outside wall of the Mark Immortal's theater. She's standing on a step ladder while an odd little creature hands her up various paints, brushes and other supplies. Right now she's using bits of colored glass, taken from various broken bottles found in the trash. The picture seems to be of people lining up to go to the theater. Those who look closer might notice that the people seem to be familiar. They're all various visitors that Akane has met or seen. They might even see themselves. Everyone is depicted as cheerful and friendly. The blue glass is currently being used to decorate someone's dress. And the little girl seems to be having a pretty good time herself.

.....But does she even have permission to do this?]

Ooh, that looks great! What do you think, Shizuo-kun?

The best way to find that out is to go out and fight some demons.

You haven't been there? It's really weird but the people there are nice.

[swordsaintseta]

Heh, so I've been told! I get a little too eager about fighting them myself, though.

[Soujirou shakes his head at that.]

Not at all. Ah...how is it weird?

[blessed_by_the_world]

Well... it's sort of on a train. Except it's not. And everything is all blue and there's this lady and a weird biker guy and an old man with a long nose....

[swordsaintseta]

On a train?

[But not. Well, that's just baffling.]

That does sound pretty weird. And what do those people do?

[blessed_by_the_world]

I think it's a fake train. Or a magic one.

[Same difference.]

They give you new personas. And you can do them favors in exchange for stuff.

[They hand out the quests.]

[swordsaintseta]

Eeeh....

[So if it was a fake train, did it still move? Or...is it something else entirely? One can practically imagine the question marks swirling about the boy's head.]

I didn't think that Personas were things to just be given away... Huuuh. That's really interesting!

[blessed_by_the_world]

[ /shrug]


Just go and ask for one. They don't seem to mind at all.

[swordsaintseta]

That sounds simple enough. I think I should probably get a better handle on my own Persona first before I even consider other ones.

[blessed_by_the_world]

That's true. And once you know what your persona can do, you can get a new persona that does different stuff.

[swordsaintseta]

Ah, that makes sense! [He nods.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She nods.]

And you'll still have your original persona too. That way you'll have something useful no matter what you wind up fighting.

[swordsaintseta]

Got it! So it's just like having different equipment and choosing what would suit the situation the best.

[blessed_by_the_world]

I guess. I never really used much equipment.

[She has a stun gun. Does that count?]

[swordsaintseta]

Well, it makes sense that way. Say, if you were facing an enemy that was heavily armored, using something like a bow and arrows wouldn't be very effective, so you would better use a melee weapon. Just like if something had a fire-based element, you wouldn't use the same thing against them since it wouldn't be as effective.
