Memories are blurred... A late intro!

[trainwrecking]

Who: Yuzuru Otonashi & OPEN to everyone!
Where: Aquarius -- not that he knows where he is, gosh.
Summary: Hi, Hinoto-ri! ... Otonashi's body hurts and what is this.
Warnings: Blood, injuries... and maybe swearing? Just to be safe on that last one.
__

Waking up in a new, strange location and being fed information in the form of an figurative text wall is not new to Otonashi. The only word that really sticks with him, of course, is Persona. What that word encompasses, what it actually means is lost on him right now, and the confusion is enough to make him bristle with frustration.

The first thing you might notice about him is the torn up uniform. Then maybe the blood, from a distance, or the hobble in his steps and the near-stumbling: he's wounded. Gunshot wounds are evident. Up close, panic is visible on his face.

[ a ] If you are wandering around the Aquarius region where he finds himself, you might face a confused redheaded teenager flagging you down. He might even be more brash than usual; he doesn't handle confusion and change too well.

-or-

[ b ] Maybe he has given up on moving for the time being. Instead, he's trying to catch his breath and get by with makeshift bandages, made with love from the remainder of his uniform. At least he seems to know what he's doing..?

(ooc: I'm pretty late to the party as usual, so I hope an intro post is okay!)

"... There has to be more than that, Noda." He looks up at the taller boy, very aware that he is treading on very dangerous ground. "Ano..., you said you, ah... disappeared?" Noda found peace?

[halberdaxe]

Noda went quiet at Otonashi's words. It was true that he had found peace, that was why he disappeared after the fight against the Shadows. But he didn't want to openly admit it to this wuss guy.

"Nevermind that." Noda responded instead. "We're still here, which means there must be something we need to do."

Otherwise, they wouldn't still be in their past lives' form, would they?

[trainwrecking]

The dismissal is all Otonashi could have expected. Though he sighs, he doesn't press the other teenager any further.

"... Persona. If we find out more about that, maybe... we can understand this new world." He ruffles his own hair. "Wait― are you the only other one of us here..?"

[halberdaxe]

Oh, right, he almost forgot about that, this Persona deal. And what that Philemon guy was talking about...although he couldn't exactly remember the entire conversation.

"As far as I'm concerned." Or minded, actually. But Yuri wasn't here, therefore there were no one he cared to bring up.

"... You should be concerned about your companions," Otonashi mutters, barely above a whisper. "You... never know when they might come back, or..."

He hesitates. Or disappear.

"... Ah, we should find out."

..fslkf i left out words in last tag woops.. also weeehh idk what else to write

[halberdaxe]

Noda didn't reply to the first part as he stayed quiet once more, and looked away from Otonashi to view the area. What the redhead said was true, whether he agreed with it or not. He decided to answer after Otonashi finished speaking.

"...Perhaps."

There weren't much else to say at the moment.

that's okayyyy, noda isn't talkative |D

[trainwrecking]

"Maybe this will be... another chance for you." Well. A third chance, if what Noda says about peace is indeed true.

Otonashi kneels down on the pavement, clearly shaky and out of sorts. Noda is going to have to work with him a little here. That, or ditch him. With Noda, you never know. "Do you... remember anything else about your dream?"

[halberdaxe]

After all that they've been through, Noda wasn't going to just ditch Otonashi by himself without saying anything. He stays in his spot as he sets his halberd down; it was looking like they weren't going anywhere any time soon.

"Other than that... Philemon and Persona? Nothing."

Did you expect him to remember all the smallest details, Otonashi?
