008 | ❝Get this party started...❞

[pitiedthefool]

Characters: The Persona casts and invited guests (just ask if you want to hop in!)
Setting: Media Level, September 15th
Format: Whatever suits your fancy!
Summary: So the Shadow Event was Hell (haha), a few of them grabbed some booze from various sources(?!), so iiiiiiit's PARTY TIME~
Warnings: Somehow srs discussions in one thread and underage drinking in others? I don't even know, man.

So the last seven days had been a misty hell in the tower surrounded by fog... literally.

Sure, this was likely the normal aside from the fog... but that didn't mean that the residents didn't need some time to blow off some steam every now and then, and for the Persona users? It had been extremely rough on them with all the Shadows manifesting. That also included their own. Especially included their own in some cases (ow, Naoya...).

It didn't take much, just a small filtered and handwaved message to the other Persona users that Yu knew from either running into them in the battle for everyone's sanity in the past week or before then. "Bring what you can get your hands on," he said, but to the leaders there was also "we need to talk." Because there had been a long period of time where they hadn't spoken as a group... and after bribing Strega with a few rounds of Halo and possible drinking games if they could get their hands on some booze, he'd headed back up to the media floor...

There were no fancy decorations, but he had picked up what was disrupted from the fighting and cleaned like whoa. Everything was set up with whatever few snacks he'd saved in his trunk from the previous month.

Come on in whenever...


[ooc: feel free to mingle and do what you want. This IS a party, after all... so let loose and have fun with it! Start your own threads if there's something that doesn't fit what you were going to do. :3]
[EDIT: Due to earlier confusion, if anyone who knows/is close to any of the Persona people, they are welcome. Really, this is a party for friends.]

[He listens patiently, nodding at the point where the fates were concerned. Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos, Norn... He'd had all four of them in his head at one point or another. Actually, it's kind of rather odd with how he responds to this; he literally can't tear his attention from this discussion for a moment since it appears that he has a fascination with mythologies as well.

...He really can't help but raise an eyebrow at that, however. After all, he knew Ryoji's Thanatos was anything but. Different worlds, though... and he knew the myth of Izanagi and Izanami was inaccurate as well.

Minato has him thus far, at least?]

[ Here, he kind of rubs the back of his neck.

... Haha, old habits die hard. Old scars don't leave. ... Then again, once you've been tramp stamped by a taken over corporation full of insane scientists and you relate it to your Persona, it's hard not to think about it. ]

Basically Thanatos had an awful job and I guess he really, really hated it. Or... being it. Or both? Whatever that is, anyway. At least, that's what the original myths said. Later on they started going, "hey, maybe this Death guy just has a really shitty job and I think he might actually be kind of cool and also has wings or something let's give him BUTTERFLIES, that'll be cool!"

So I think they began saying he was a more peaceful Death and he started becoming nicer, maybe because people wanted the idea of being closer to something/someone as a God that was, you know, going to deliver them to Hades NICELY and not just... sort of be a jerk about it?

[ Pausing. Yeah, this is weird to explain because... well, he's IN in his head. ]

Hades kind of just reigns over the spirits and relaxes in Hell or whatever, and I guess Thanatos got stuck with doing the actual... you know, reaping part. Then we've got Tartarus, which is below even the underworld, it's like the... under-underworld? Which is where Thanatos and all of them live.

[ Now, finally to his point, he frowns slightly, finally settling on a small sigh. ]

... From my experience he's not really as nice a guy as people keep saying in the newer mythologies. It seems to really be wishful thinking--the whole "pitiless as bronze with a heart of iron" thing is... pretty accurate. He actually really, really seems to enjoy it when humans are suffering, since he hates them and really everyone ELSE so much. I think... I dunno, maybe how he was treated made him bitter? I'm not... really sure, he's always been really temperamental for me.

And coy. He doesn't like telling me much stuff if he isn't busy trying to choke the life out of me just because he's having a bad day.

[He thinks about it for a moment, sighing. He understands well enough that Minato is trying to find out the truth behind the one that was shoved in his head. It was painfully obvious, really. Unfortunately, that truth seems to be out of their reach for the moment.]

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised either way... but if there's anything I learned from the one in my head, it's that those who recorded the myths weren't 100% accurate. Even if some points are accurate.

[He rubs the back of his neck--an annoying habit he picked up from his uncle.]

I'm not sure about what Toutou's shadow meant, and I'm not sure if which interpretation--if not both of them--is right, but I'll help any way I can.

[Even if it ends up being a headache for the both of them... oops?]
