[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... ]

[ In Dave's defense, Minato has part of a literally Death in his head, and it's rather hard to hide any sort of ability from part of Death itself. It doesn't help Pharos always knows too much.

And as it is right now, said fragment of Death raises its blade and makes to stab Dave--

However, here, Minato jerks away and something distracts him (who knows what it is, but briefly he seems to completely lose focus), causing his Persona's aim to sway. The attack misses by enough to break the ice blocking the stairs to the other floors.

Shit. ]

[WOW ok that wasn't part of the plan, as much of a plan as there really was to any of this.

When Minato's aim faltered, Jin stepped forward a few inches, summoning Moros once more to try and deliver another blast of fire to Dave, attacking in Thanatos' place.]

[Dave knows an escape when he sees one, and this was definitely an escape. It would just be plain dumb for Dave to try and not get out of here when he can.

He's already bolting for the exit.

Dave doesn't have the speed or energy to evade Moros' attack completely, and he bites back the yell he wants to make when he feels the fire connect with his skin. But it doesn't make him stop either. It's a blessing that he apparently can handle the heat to some degree. The burns he'll be having for the next while would be worth getting away with his life.

He knew there was a high chance of him coming back right after, but what good would god tier immortality do if you were trapped with two people who obviously rather want you dead?]
