Characters: Everyone interested in getting back into their body
Setting: 9/18, after this post (may be extended to following days)
Format: Action, prose, whatever you'd like to go with!
Summary: Dax Is A Bro and left a clue. Now it's up to the Tower residence to unite and figure it out.
Warnings: None as of yet, will be adapted as needed.

[After making that post - the first he is aware of - Riku just sighs (one that turns into a cough all of sudden... don't tell him he's coming down with something on top of everything else?!).

There is really no telling how many people will follow his call out, but hopefully there will be some at least. And hopefully they will have more idea what this clue means than he does.

He turns his seat towards the entrance of the floor. Time to see who would turn up.]

Suzaku turned up, but he is not much use for anything. He is currently sat at the edge of the crowd using all his will power not to curl up in a ball and wrap his arms round his head in an attempt to shut this voice up.

He wondered if he should just do what it told him, after all if he had Jin's powers it meant he didn't have his own (he would assume). He could die...

But he would just come back and there would be no guarantee this would be fixed...

Still it was tempting.

[Hopefully Suzaku won't mind this guy giving him funny looks. Akihiko stares at Jin, trying to figure out if he's been swapped or if he's the original Strega megamind. That way he can act accordingly.]

[fartooloudinhere]

[It takes a moment before Suzaku notices him and he stares at him for a moment not recognising him.]

I'm not him... I appologise.

[redpeacoat]

No need to do that.

[It actually makes it easier to talk to him and help out.]

Is he speaking to you?

[fartooloudinhere]

[Suzaku blinked, and for a moment considered ignoring the question. But the voice got louder and he winced before nodding.]

[redpeacoat]

Akihiko was not a fan of anyone using suppressants. Shinjiro had done so for a while, and it put his body into a danger zone for a long time. In fact, for some reason he had what he thought was a dream about Shinjiro getting them from Jin in a dark alleyway.

But he didn't know much about Strega's personas, only that they had a lot of trouble keeping them content. Someone who's not used to having a persona might be under a lot of pressure, and possibly pain. He'll never forget what happened to Chidori that day...]

He...he takes a pill for that.

[fartooloudinhere]

A pill? [Suzaku didn't really trust medicine, he didn't see how a pill would stop this voice. But he wasn't about to turn down help.

No wonder Jin was angry all the time if this voice was constantly in his head. He felt a little guilty for all the times he had got annoyed at the other boy.]

[redpeacoat]

Yeah. They're not safe, but they keep personas quieter, from what I know.

[And that's not much.]

I imagine he can get them here somehow.

[fartooloudinhere]

Right... [He nodded, thankful for the knowledge.] Thank you. Are... are you one of his friends? [Did Jin even have friends? Apart from Minato...]

[hermitofzero]

Oh. Well wasn't this a sight.

It was an extremely odd experience seeing yourself when you're not looking around in a mirror. Much less seeing yourself crouched over like some pathetic piece of crap. If Jin was in a worse mood, it'd probably be sickening.

"What's the matter? Can't take the pressure?"

Different face, different voice, still the same cocky, condescending and derisive tone of voice. Honestly, he's glad that someone else gets to deal with Moros for a while. For once, he got some peace and quiet and freedom of movement without having to obey those assholes in charge.

[fartooloudinhere]

Suzaku looked up and frowned, even through the blurriness he could recognise himself and that was weird. He winced as the shouting in his head seemed to get louder. Really himself, Jin, whoever was the last person he wanted to see right now.

Not that he could see. "Nothing's wrong." Nothing he would tell Jin about either, though that was stupid since this was Jin's body and Jin would know what was wrong with it.

Which was everything, but mainly the voice. "Did you need anything?"

[hermitofzero]

"Oh please. Better people than you have tried."

Yeah, Suzaku wasn't fooling anyone. Jin couldn't tell how bad his eyesight was, but it was obvious that Moros was already taking his toll after two days. It'd be lying to say Jin wasn't taking some kind of sadistic pleasure at Suzaku's distress.

"Nope. Just checking. That's the knightly thing to do anyway, isn't it?" S a r c a s m.

[fartooloudinhere]

"People like you, you mean?" Trying to focus on not listening to Moros meant not paying attention to what he was saying and coming across as more hostile then he usually did, even when talking to Jin.

"You don't know anything about being a knight." He kept getting confused, sometimes he remembered things that seemed so familiar. Being scared, being a child, hiding. But the faces around him weren't Lelouch and Nunnally, the buildings weren't destroyed. And then he was older and his memories were definitely not his own. But there were no knights... Jin wasn't a knight.

[hermitofzero]

Jin's deteriorating self-identity aside, Moros' absence was enough to help him avoid most of the confusion for the time being. There was also the fact that even if he had fond memories of a pink-haired girl and some other guys in the black uniform, he didn't really bring himself to care yet.

"Exactly. You can have a taste of what we've lived with our whole lives." Arrogant? Yep. And spiteful! Give him a day or so before he starts getting upset. "'Course I'm not a knight. I"m not a total hack."

Minato came across this sight and inwardly groaned. It wasn't hard to tell who was who, and he felt especially bad for Suzaku at this point. He'd already had to help Naoya out, so he may as well help Suzaku, too. He approaches the two and gives the Jin-stuck-in-Suzaku's body a small eyebrow raise, as if to silently communicate, Cut it out.

"... Not that I don't agree some people deserve a taste of our horrible shitty lives, but I would have rather had one of those natural Persona using idiots stuck in one of our bodies over someone I don't really think deserves it," he says, glancing over to Suzaku.

Who was Jin.

Minato than takes a bottle out of his pocket and offers it to Suzaku.

"I've been trying to find whoever ended up in Jin's body to help them; sorry I took so long. Looks like Moros has gotten to you already... take four or five of these about every five to seven hours."

HI

[fartooloudinhere]

Suzaku blinked at Minato, half glad and half embarassed he had come to his rescue. He ignored Jin's comments about not being a knight, he didn't care what Jin thought about his life choices.

He shrugged, "I do." Deserve it he meant, he felt bad about his fights with Jin, the things he had said to antagonise him. He took the pills, they had been explained to him already and though he didn't trust them, knew they were unsafe he shrugged again. "Thank you."

He stared at the bottle, debating whether to actually take them or not.

NOW IT'S A PARTY

[hermitofzero]

He grimaced when Minato showed up, and didn't do anything more than scoff and roll his eyes at other teen's look. As far as he was concerned, Suzaku entirely deserved it; maybe it'd make him less insufferable~ hypocrite

Jin was ready to up and leave, but Suzaku's hesitance over the bottle was...obvious. Come on, he knew his own damn face. "Just take them, moron. You're not gonna last much longer than a few hours at this rate."

[manipulatedthefool]

Doing alright?

[Have a bowlcut-terrorist just approaching you; sort of not Hermit!Suzaku.]

[fartooloudinhere]

[Suzaku looked up at Yu, Lelouch... He had already seen Yu in Lelouch's body... He nodded, his eyes hard.]

You?

[manipulatedthefool]

As well as Yu can be, I suppose.

[Oh well, can't stop the bad puns.]

[fartooloudinhere]

[He just gets a look but then Suzaku nods.] Does his ever shut up? [He had seen Yu's persona in battle so knew he had one. He wasn't sure if this was normal or something that just happened to Jin.]

[manipulatedthefool]

Sometimes.

[When Izanagi is keeping the others at bay from wanting to meet him.]

...Let me guess, yours doesn't.

[fartooloudinhere]

[He nodded] It hasn't yet...

[He looked over at the group actually discussing things.] Have they worked anything out?

[manipulatedthefool]

Hopefully yes, this body does not possess the knowledge required to work on a cure.

[fartooloudinhere]

You're getting his memories too? [Suzaku had been hoping that wasn't what was happening, that the memories of walking through a not destroyed Japan with unknown children were just... something else...

Because he could still put Lelouch and Nunnally in the picture, force it back to fields of bodies.]
