[o5] ♪ Death's icy breath.

[fractus_animus]

Characters: AU Minato Arisato & people, then later AU Jin Shirato and more Persona users.
Setting: Early Afternoon on July 3rd, toward the afternoon/early evening; all over-ish -> cathedral.
Format: Action. Prose will be far too slow for this, sorry.
Summary: Minato goes crazy thanks to finding his sister gone and falls victim to a certain Cerulean blood's mind control.
Warnings: If you confront Minato after a certain point, your character WILL have a VERY HIGH CHANCE of dying! Here is the OOC info post. Feel free to backtag into forever if you like once I get this up.

[ The floors he visited had begun to ice over. Anyone who wandered near where Minato was would find it almost unbearably, bone-chillingly cold.

In fact, the walls froze around him as he walked, searching.

For what?

People. People he thinks he can... 'fix'. Or save. Perhaps his inability to do so during their time in the Pods had gotten to him.

... He had Thanatos, didn't he? Why not listen? Why not let him go? After a month of enduring Thanatos and Samael's persistent voices, he no longer had any desire to be what he now viewed as cruel. Killing people was a niceness, here. Surely, it was nice. A kindness. They'd thank him. Even if they didn't realize it. Dying was better than that. It would be better to die. If he killed them, with Thanatos, then perhaps they'd stay dead. Perhaps they'd no longer suffer...

... He was prepared to do it by whatever means, and however much pain had to be caused. Pain was good, too. Pain told them they were people, you see? That they had personalities...

Yes, he did like people.

He liked them enough to freeze them slowly and let his Persona rip them apart... ]

[ ... Good.

Minato isn't sound enough to realize that this is bad, either. In fact, all he knows is this is what he wants, and he offers Jin a thin smile.

That's... better.

He knew Jin had been through a lot-- (when he's back to normal he's going to HATE himself) --so... he wanted to help him. That's all. And he had plans, too. Jin could help him with that. He was determined to bring about a better result this time. Not like in the pods. This time he had control of himself, he would do something.

Even if that meant being destructive... to help others, then that's okay with him. ]

... I'm not going to leave you alone.

[ It's a promise. Despite all that had happened. He won't. ]

[All he could really think to do was nod. At some part, he appreciated the sentiment, even if he had never been very sentimental. But Moros certainly didn't care. Moros appreciated it if only because it meant he could come out.

Focusing on the consequences and repercussions was too difficult. It was easier just to focus on the task at hand. Do what would make Minato happy. He could do that much at least.]

[fractus_animus]

[ ... That was all he wanted, really.

It was easy enough. And eventually he would lead Jin to the Cathedral and... redecorate a bit, then, he would wait. He knew others would come. It'd be a matter of time. ]
