[Open] I'm standing on the outside

[papillonmagique]

Who: Zoe Gallais and OPEN
Where: Aquarius district, Tuesday night
Summary: Zoe thinks it's time to awaken her Persona. So wandering out during the 13th Hour on her own is clearly the best plan.
Warnings: Demon fightings, persona awakenings and bratty mage alert.


[Zoe had only been here for a couple of days, but she is the impatient type. And she had watched how the 13th hour occurred and she knows how to fight and she has her lance with her, so it wasn't like she was going in completely unprepared.

She may have overestimated herself, however, especially when she came across a group of these monsters, and she was stuck using her lance to push them back more than attacking. But she had to keep trying, she had to- ]

- Come on! [And then her Persona appears in a flash of light above her, and takes care of some of the monsters with a few Kouha's. Zoe just stares at the sparkly rainbow butterfly for a moment.]

P-Petit Arc-en-ciel! So that's where you were! ... In my head. [Blink. And then she shrugs, shifting into a battle stance again. There is still a large group of monsters left, so she's starting to regret going out on her own now...]

I believe it's my Persona, Petit Arc-en-ciel.

[She gives him a curious look when he loads his gun, but she's quick to turn her attention back to fighting.]

I'm going to guess that you haven't summoned yours yet.

[square_cubelaw]

I don't "summon" things, I'm not a magician.

[He doesn't quite believe these things work as they say they do.]

So where does Petit whats-its-name come from?

[papillonmagique]

Well, currently from me, since I summoned it. However, it was originally part of a large spirit back home.

[Zoe looks way too amused about this.]

[square_cubelaw]

Spirit?

[Robo really just does not like where this is all going. He doesn't have labs or the resources to spend letting other people figure out the actual ways around this.

He's used to solving problems directly.]

[papillonmagique]

Yes, a spirit. A manifestation of certain elements, ideals and so on. My Persona was once part of a large spirit of illusions.

[And Zoe is just going to keep on grinning.]

[square_cubelaw]

[Robo doesn't have lips, but he doesn't look impressed. The illusions part seems to fit for him, though.]

Okay then, where are you from?

[Because he has some guesses, even if they are all wrong.]

[papillonmagique]

I'm from France, the year 2014. [She slashes apart another monster while the sparkly butterfly keeps up with the light attacks.]

[square_cubelaw]

[He fires off more shots at the little things.

At least they're little.]

2014? Last time I was in France, they weren't so superstitious.

[Alternate dimensions? It wouldn't be the first time. There's no way he traveled into the future, or the past for that matter.]

[papillonmagique]

It's actually pretty common. All countries have spirits and such, and yes, science has proven that they are real where I'm from.

[square_cubelaw]

I believe they're real, there's one right in front of me, I just might disagree on how people classify them. That's nit picking though.

[papillonmagique]

How would you classify them?

[square_cubelaw]

As something other than a word historically used by people for things that don't really exist.
