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]

Oh no, a Persona isn't a split personality, it's more of a mask, a manifestation of the personality itself.

[puppy_lancer]

[A slow nod.]

Then it's basically whatever hero you identify the most with.

[yourhandplease]

Heroes, deities, mythical beings such as angels, fairies, demons, everything.

[puppy_lancer]

Okay. I get it. Did anyone have Scathach as a Persona where you came from?

[yourhandplease]

Yes. But she was one of the few who had more than one Persona. She was special.

[The tone in his voice changes slightly, sounding more caring than it did before.]

[puppy_lancer]

In more than one way, it sounds like.

[yourhandplease]

E-excuse me?

[Oh dear, that obvious?]

[puppy_lancer]

[A light chuckle.]

I'm just joking around. But I bet whoever that person is, she's a special girl indeed.

[Since Scathach was a special woman.]

[yourhandplease]

O-of course I knew you were just joking.

[His right hand had unconsciously touched the ring finger of his left.

She was more than just special to him.]

[puppy_lancer]

[His expression softens.]

I guess if you wait long enough, she might come here. Just be patient.

[yourhandplease]

I'm not sure if I would want her to be in a place like this.

[puppy_lancer]

...Ah.

[He gives Theodore a sympathetic look. He can wish for Misaya to come here, but only because Misaya no longer lives in his world.]

[yourhandplease]

[In a way his beloved was dead in their world, but she wasn't simply dead...]

Hmm?

[puppy_lancer]

Nothing. I just remembered some things.

[yourhandplease]

Ah, I see. Important things I assume?

[puppy_lancer]

Pretty much.

You're a better man than me, you know that? I want the people I know to come here even knowing what this place is like.

[yourhandplease]

You think too highly of me.

[Were he a better man then he would have found a way to save her by now and wouldn't be stuck in yet another world.]

[puppy_lancer]

Better than thinking too little of you, right?

[Lancer could certainly sympathize with not being able to save loved ones.]

[yourhandplease]

... Right. I wish I had spoken to the you I have met in the world I have been before more often, you are a good person.

[puppy_lancer]

Thanks. Shame I probably missed out on talking to you too.

[yourhandplease]

When we spoke to each other it was very amusing.
