1st Song ☠ | Introduction

Characters: Eikichi (Michel) and whatever poor sap would like to talk with him.
Setting: And floor, all the corridors, day and night, it's all up to you, he'll be running around.
Format: I started in prose, but you can pick a style, and I'll match it!
Summary: Eikichi finds himself in the tower and everything is terrible.
Warnings: Eikichi is a warning onto himself.

Victory had never been so bittersweet. After defeating the Great Father, finding out the entire thing had been a bet between Philemon and Nyarlathotep, the world destroyed and with Maya stuck by the spear ending her life, all that had remained was a chance giving to them to go back in time. However, they'd have to give up their memories their friendships of each other. Considering the fate of the world and their friend was at stake, it was a heavy price that Eikichi did not mind to give up willingly. After all, friendship was more powerful than the bonds of space and time, he thought and even if they had not met as children, he was certain they'd see each other one day again.

But now, here he was, inside a tower and a note that his world had been destroyed. No shit, it had been destroyed. Needless to say, Eikichi wasn't too pleased. Goddamnit, all of this, everything around him, a cruel joke, ALL FOR NOTHING?! Had this been Philemon's fault...oh just wait until that butterfly masked asshole came to talk again, he was going to get a fist to the face.

Well, now that he was here, he could make the most of it, he supposed. Eikichi wasn't expecting to find his friends - what with the word having ended, after all, and somewhat guilty that he still had his memories intact. Hopefully the world ending hadn't been his fault. He'd never forgive himself--yeah best not to think about it. He opened up his trunk and found his guitar case in thirty or so smaller pieces. Yet it looked somewhat easy to rebuilt, even for him, and before long the pieces clamped together like a jigsaw puzzle. The Lgendary Guitar Case was made whole again. Swinging it over his shoulders, he closed the door to his room, and walked out.

[ Minato pauses, absently--hmm. What is he feeling here...? Being that he's not as in-tune as Chidori, though, he just shakes it off as Thanatos being Thanatos. But he just blinks because wow six feet of blue and narcissism suddenly-- ]

... Oh, you're from the past. No, this is an mp3 player. Sort of like... have you ever seen someone collect a room full of mix-tapes, like, all their favorite songs or bands and albums?

Like that. Only with infinitely more space on it for music.

[ Removing one of his headphones now, he figures he may as well give this guy his attention. ]
fractus_animus: (Help me leave behind)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-20 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, mp3s. Timelines and worlds in this place aren't very consistent; you find that a lot.

[ Cool, right? Also his headphones are not possessed Eikichi...... ]

Go ahead. I don't mind. They've got music in the media machines, so I was seeing what they had.

[ Here you go, bro. Just be nice to his Audio-Technicas ok they are high dollar BABIES.

Seems he was browsing the Indie section--

Oh hey is that Gas Chamber? It sure is! ]
fractus_animus: (To hide so well)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ Minato is watching this with profound confusion. What's going on? Why is he so upset...? ]

Is... something wrong?
fractus_animus: (God's grace)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
... I get it. You're the leader, then, right? Nice to meet you, Mishina-san.

[ He's a pretty respectful guy when he doesn't hate you, to be honest. ]
fractus_animus: (Dreams of his crash...)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ He slowly takes his headphones back, and blinks. What... what's wrong? Why is Thanatos so... suddenly upset?

About what?

... He... he doesn't understand, but whatever it is, Eikichi must've noticed it? He'll try to ignore it, though. ]


... Oh, I almost forgot--my name is Minato. [ And, as a forethought: ] ... Minato Arisato.
fractus_animus: (... Um.)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
... What's wrong?

[ TRYING TO IGNORE IT? Dear god, Thanatos, why are you so... so... suddenly angry and territorial? Bah. ]
fractus_animus: (When my time comes)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Minato is very, VERY confused.

The confusion only worsens when Thanatos materializes on its own, with its large sword across Minato's chest, almost defensively. ]


... What--

Silence.

[ Its voice is like... nothing else in existence, and it's so very obvious only they can hear it. Those who walk by see nothing. ]

What business is it of yours, I wonder? Human intervention called me.

[ Oh god, and he realizes it hurts, and that is just the 'Persona' establishing how easily he could kill him, how close its come before-- ]

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That is none of your business.

[ If he could smile, and somehow it isn't hard to picture if he could, Thanatos would have an infuriatingly VAGUE expression of satisfaction on his face right now. He's sighing. Why is everything so difficult with him?

It is taking all his willpower to keep Thanatos and his overbearing energy (where did it come from, though?) from crushing him, to be frank. That feeling of coldness... ]


... Our Personas aren't normal.

[ They're more like Shadows than Personas. He is well aware, and Minato attempts to move the weight over his entire body right now to reach the pill bottle in his pocket. ]
fractus_animus: (Will swallow [whole])

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Thanatos, meanwhile, will be happy in his vessel and making himself the most smug and Minato's HEAD feels like it's going to split open and he can still feel that sword trying to kill him--he just shakes his head and takes like three Suppressants completely dry. ]

They're Persona Suppressors.

[ He's guessing he doesn't know about them...? ]
fractus_animus: (And when you're)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
... Is it really that hard to grasp? They Suppress your Persona. Keep it from killing you. Though the side-effects are extreme internal bodily harm and... other things, my group has to take them because our Personas aren't natural.

[ He pauses. ... Then, he adds: ]

Which I guess yours picked up on, or something. I have no idea.
fractus_animus: (pic#1191282)

[personal profile] fractus_animus 2012-04-21 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... Maybe to you, but without them we'd be dead.

[ Minato honestly has no idea what he means, unless... ]

Our Personas aren't ours. I'm not surprised. Thanatos is... he's very powerful, but he has a tendency to be extremely volatile. I'm not afraid of him, but given that our abilities were forced into us by the experiments, we're not really able to... control ours.

Ours are closer to Shadows than real Personas. That's because that's... what they were, as far as we know. Shadows and Personas are essentially the same thing, anyway; Shadows are just human negativity.
