07 - The Most Dysfunctional Golden Trio

[drakenguard]

Who: Yamato Hotsuin, Shura demifemme, and Naoya meaningdies
Where: Aquarius District: The library!
Summary: Continuation of this insanity. Shura's cursed and keeps punching herself, Yamato's trying to research while said distraction is happening, and oh look, uncomfortable conversation alert via Naoya.
Warnings: This is going to be so awkwardly dumb.

The walk to Aquarius was thankfully not that painful, considering it was in the pouring rain and Shura's Magatama was in a rather irritable mood. They did have to stop every so often, whenever Shura walloped herself in the face hard enough to send her on her ass, but Yamato suffered the stops and starts in dignified silence.

Of course by the time they did reach the library, it was almost closing time. An hour or so to gather their much needed information? Yamato worked with less.

So now the pair were seated in one of the tables in the far corner, already with enough books to build a fort on the table. Yamato had shrugged out of his coat, having it draped on the back of his chair, and was just in his shirt and tie, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, even if he kept the gloves on still.

"I don't suppose you can remember anything about the Lady of the Fount that leans towards a specific religion or mythology, do you?"

Comments

[demifemme]

"I, uh, don't think he can be reasoned with... I mean, he doesn't even really talk. And he doesn't feel like he's unhappy to make me suffer. I was just learning how to cure Poison with Yamato, and it cursed me."

[drakenguard]

Yamato grunted quietly, not appreciating being talked about as if he weren't there.

"The only thing that can break the curse is the Lady of the Fount," Yamato muttered irritably. "Hence the research. Prayer does not work, and I doubt any other healing spell would work either."

Of course, a bit of elbow grease and indepth investigation could reveal another way of curing it, but he doubted Shura would willingly allow herself to be vivisected - or at the very least, the Magatama might not.

[meaningdies]

"In... teresting..." He's never heard of that before. He slides the book back to Yamato and picks up one of the other ones, starting to flip through it.

[demifemme]

"Gotta love Lucifer's workmanship," she grumbled, picking at the Hinduism index.

[drakenguard]

Yamato rested his cheek on his knuckles, his gaze dropping down to the book as he flipped it open. "If we cannot find any more information on her, perhaps we should resort to visiting the Velvet room when it next appears. Perhaps she exists as a Persona."

[meaningdies]

"That might work. They're likely to know more about it."

He turns to Shura and looks contemplative for a moment. "You said this was Lucifer's doing?"

[demifemme]

"I think the magatamas are Lucifer's doing, yes. I dunno f it's right or wrong, I just know he's the jerk who stuck it in my head."

[drakenguard]

"Probably for some nefarious scheme," Yamato said, his tone bored. "Or maybe he thought it would be entertaining. Lucifer is an unpredictable being."

Which was dangerous considering his strength...
