1st Song ☠ | Introduction

[deathboss]

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.

[You mean BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME HANDSOME MAN there I fixed it for you Jin. He looks at him in a strange, serious way.]

There's something wrong with you ain't there? It's like your Persona's all screwed up.

[morituramfides]

[No he was pretty sure he meant disaster. Trust him, he knows disaster when he sees one.

HOWEVER, he is a bit perturbed by the fact that this guy a) apparently knew about personas, b) knew that he had a persona, and c) could tell there was something wrong with his persona.]

The hell...? What's it to you?

[deathboss]

[Nah, more like your own clothing was a disaster.

Anyway he just crosses his arms and continues to stare down at him.]

Nothing to me. Just Hades kinda freaking out about it, that's all. If he's on the edge, then so'm I.

[morituramfides]

[Whoah man, you do not insult the bomb jacket. Step off.]

Who the hell is 'Hades'? [And why does he care!!]

[deathboss]

[I did and I will continue to do so.]

Hade's my Persona. He's telling me there's something weird with yours. Like he's not supposed to be there.

[morituramfides]

[WOW FOR SOME REASON HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU.]

If you really wanna know, I'm not a normal persona user. I wasn't born with the potential.

[deathboss]

[YOU NEVER LIKE ANYONE ANYWAY.]

Oh. You're from the same group that says Persona uses are born potential. ...wait what do you mean by that? Now you're just screwing with me. You either got a Persona or you don't.

[morituramfides]

[WELL HE ESPECIALLY DOESN'T LIKE YOU.]

I do have a Persona; the point is, I ain't supposed to. [Tucking his hands in his pockets, he's getting really annoyed here!]

Normally you're born with it, but I wasn't. Some assholes basically forced one into my head. [WAS THAT PLAIN ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HANDLE]

[deathboss]

[Whaaaaaaat.]

The hell?! What kind of screwed-up asshole does that to teens?! How do you even do that? That just ain't right.

[He might even be like...seriously pissed off at this.]

...maybe there's a way to fix it?

[morituramfides]

It was part of a science experiment.

[And a scoff.] If I knew how to fix it, I would'a fixed it years ago.

[Translation: screw off.]

[deathboss]

[Wow he might have let off a swear word or two (since Pops isn't here either). Or maybe that was just Hades passing on his emotions considering.]

Geeze, Hade's all sort of pissed off about that. Not saying you shouldn't have Personas either, but that one ain't yours.

[No duh.]

It's like...shit, I can't describe it but...this weird scream to be let out? It's trapped.

[morituramfides]

[If his life was a little less grisly he'd probably be disturbed by that mental image. Actually it's still kind of creepy sounding.]

It's not like I want it. I sure as hell ain't letting it out though.

[deathboss]

[He thinks about this.]

It would probably want to kill you before leaving anyway. It's a Shadow that ain't yours either. It'd be like if my Shadow was stuffed inside you. Makes no sense, right? You'd need to...find your real Persona. Or the one that's suppose to be attached to you.

Least I think. Sure as hell ain't an expert on this, Philemon
was the guy who gave us ours.

[morituramfides]

I don't have a real Persona. That's kind of the damn point.

[Eikichi you are dumb, stop telling him stuff he already knows.] And who he hell is Philemon?

[HOW FUCKED UP IS YOUR PERCEPTION OF PERSONA RIGHT NOW]

[deathboss]

[KINDA REALLY MESSED UP.]

Hey I'm just trying to help. This about it. Maybe it wants to get out because it's also invading someone else's space?

Philemon's the one who gave us ours. But he's also a damn asshole; had a bet with the Crawling Darkness Nytho...whatever he called himself, if humanity could transcend or just doom itself."

[morituramfides]

[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

I don't need your help. If I let my persona out it'll just kill me sooner rather than later.

[Also he doesn't really give a shit about whoever these Philemon and Nytho guys are. They sound like dicks though.]
