could it be just a dream?

[meaningdies]

Who: Naoya and Agatha
Where: Pisces 7-05
Summary: Naoya has quickly figured out whom he's swapped with. It turns out they're related. This will be fun.
Warnings: Frank discussion of murder, death, and gore.


[Naoya isn't quite sure why this is happening. There are tangled strings, yes, but would that cause them? It might have something to do with some kind of connection with their souls… ugh.]

[He rubs his forehead and looks over towards the door, awaiting the girl's - Agatha's - appearance. Her family is descended from him… well. Many people are, but sometimes there's a family where it seems they're more connected than most…]

[No matter. His questions can wait for her.]

Comments

[meaningdies]

It's fine.

[He waves the apology off. No big deal.]

The general weirdness of this place is still unusual, though. We've been given very little information about what happened to cause this.

[badluckhealer]

No information, that - that is unfortunate.

[Information is power and thumbing one's nose at The Man, man. She takes another sip of tea.]

What - is known about what happened, may I ask? And are there any ways of finding out more?

[She doesn't exactly want to get involved - neutrality is a big thing with her family, after all. Still...there may not be a choice.]

[meaningdies]

About this whole situation in general... I know that we were brought here by a being named Philemon. I believe he's been engaging in a... competition or bet of sorts with an entity named Nyarlathotep. In theory Philemon would be the 'good' and Nyarlathotep would be the 'evil', but such things rarely are simple.

[Air quotes included, yes.]

In addition, there's a group here called the 'Anoli', who claim to be for the freedom of people here. They claim that the government is hiding information from everyone, which... is likely, to be honest, but not unusual for a government.

As for the reason we have Persona in the first place... my guess is that it's some kind of side-effect of being brought here from different realities in addition to being a 'gift' bestowed on us from Philemon.

[There's a long pause as she takes this in. It is a lot of information, especially with the migraine.

... Okay yeah this is information overload.] I - apologize, I may need to revisit that later.

[That is not a facepalm. Really. (Okay it totally is.)]

[meaningdies]

Not a problem.

[... Maybe he should make more tea.]

[badluckhealer]

[Might not hurt. That being said...well.]

...what happens now?

[She doesn't like this feeling, being lost and not knowing how to handle a situation. Surprises and sudden shakeups aren't things she was raised to handle.

She knows asking for help isn't good, but...well, if it's from a technically-relative...? Uncle said it was okay, too, so...]

[meaningdies]

These things usually tend to pass with time, I've noticed. That said... there's a few things we might be able to do for your headache. We can go out and find some herbs for it - they might be sold in the shopping district.

[badluckhealer]

[Completely misunderstood. Eh, well, that's what comes of not socializing. Good job, Aggie.

(She really meant, "what do about suddenly relatives", but. Well. Nope not gonna question ancestor. This is all way too weird as it is.

Also there's the migraine.)]

I...if you insist.

[This is never going to be something she is used to.]
