Characters: Theodore & Open to all
Setting: Room 01-10, lower floors, location might change
Format: Going with Action first but any format is fine to me.
Summary: Theodore wakes up in the Tower for the first time and is going to explore as much as he can.
Warnings: None, will be updated should anything happen.

[Theodore's eyes are blinking a few times as he lies in a room he doesn't recall to have been at before. It takes a few moments but eventually he sits up and turns his head to look around a little, seeing the three other and apparently occupied beds, then stares down at himself and this... strange attire he does not remember wearing before. He raises a hand to touch the collar around his neck to check if he could take it off, but given what material it was made of, it doesn't seem to be possible at the time being.

It takes another moment until Theodore spots two letters that are addressed at him. The first one he reads explains to him that his world has been destroyed. It's not the first time he has been told something unbelievable and cryptic like this, so of course, he had a hard time believing what is said to him in this letter. The other he reads carefully as it seems to provide more information that the first one.

Once done with reading he gets up to take a look at the trunk. His clothes were there, the Compendium as well and... he smiles as he sees the Jack Frost plush with the ring that has been left by his beloved. Theodore slips the ring over his finger and takes the compendium and his clothes out of the trunk to change back into the so much more familiar attire.]


[The former Velvet Room attendant walks through the hallways, eying them with curiosity and cautiousness. Being in this Tower reminds him slightly of Tartarus, yet not entirely. There was something different, something he can not point at.

He carried the Persona Compendium under one of his arms, he had checked it earlier in his assigned room and found that only the personae he uses in fights had been left in it. It worried him that someone has been able to remove such a great number of them at once. But there isn't much he can do about that at the time being.

Maybe if he speaks to some of the residents of this tower he will be able to find out more...]

[yourhandplease]

That you are actually still inside. That is, if you are actually who I think you are.

[scentofmakai]

[He shrugs and changes form to something more human.]

Zett Takajo. Any other name isn't really completely accurate.

[yourhandplease]

So not Beelzebub then? Your wings reminded me of his.

[He smiles and closes the book again.]

I'm Theodore. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[scentofmakai]

Complicated. Let's say I'm part of him, but not all.

[yourhandplease]

So similar to a Persona then? That's interesting.

[He would like to know more but first, the questions he has. He takes the letters out of his jacket and holds them up.]

Can you tell me more about these?

[scentofmakai]

There's good evidence that it's true, your world is gone. On the other hand, it doesn't change your goals here: get out, make mincemeat of the administrators who like torturing us.

[yourhandplease]

I find it hard to believe, before I awoke in this place I was in another world than my own.

Torture?

[scentofmakai]

Physical, psychological, you name it. Recently we were all made to think we'd been in the tower for ages - a thousand years for me, less for people that don't live that long. A lot of us were pretty nuts.

[yourhandplease]

That's even worse than the place I just came from...

[scentofmakai]

Oh, yeah? Where you from?

[yourhandplease]

It a bit complicated to explain, you see. It's a place between consciousness and unconsciousness that can only be entered under the right circumstances.

[scentofmakai]

I'm a demon, I can do complicated.

[yourhandplease]

Hmm... it's not impossible.

[If he were a Persona, it wouldn't be.]

[scentofmakai]

So, the world you were in before may or may not be destroyed. What are you going to do here?

[yourhandplease]

I doubt highly that it got destroyed. I admit, I am not sure yet as of what I'm going to do here.

[scentofmakai]

Well, you'll probably die a lot. Most people do.

[yourhandplease]

Die a lot?

[scentofmakai]

Yeah. There's big ugly things that try to kill you here, especially at night. And everytime you die you wake up the next day good as new. Plus the stuff the administrators run can kill you. So, you die a lot if you're not careful.

[yourhandplease]

I... see. Thank you for the advice. But this sounds really horrible.

[scentofmakai]

And that's why we call it a horrortower.

...so, you've got Beelzebub in there?

[yourhandplease]

I do, why do you ask?

[scentofmakai]

It doesn't look like most ways of storing demons I've seen. That's all.

[yourhandplease]

Demon? By no means, this Beelzebub is a Persona.

However, he is related to the Demon in a way.

[scentofmakai]

What's a Persona?

[yourhandplease]

A Persona is a mask, a manifestation of the personality itself. There are only few who have the power to summon them.
