Waterfall Lake
(Lame title, I know)
*A familiar Blue Haired Girl sits by the edge of the lake, kicking her feet into the water and watching the beautiful falls*
*A tall dark stranger emerges from the woods on the other side and sits by the lake
Pretty, huh?
*the stranger just grunts at the girl as he begins to clean his face
*Paying no mind to the stranger's silence, she continues to speak, as if speaking to herself*
That's why I love the Nexus..... sure, it may be slowly tearing the multiverse apart, but it's got so many beautiful places.....
*Geralt walks closer to them*
That's why I'm here
I'm going to destroy the nexus
I hear a lot of people saying that...... I don't know why you would want to.....
If it weren't for the Nexus, so many of us wouldn't have met.....
The meetings of mortals is beneath me
*glances around, taking I'm the sight of the waterfall*
Well... This place is as stable as it can be.
Not too bad looking either.
*taking in
(why auto correct to that?)
Well, plenty of immortal gods have met here too.
*waves to shaigis*
I must go to the center... that is where the heart of distortion lies..
Well.... have fun.... just remember, science is never absolute.... what you think is destroying the nexus.... May actually save it.....
Maybe that's not a bad thing. I just need to find the core. And break it...
*waves back to Nana and surveys the place a little more*
Good luck with that whole core breaking thing... Especially since it's not going to stay still.
Big bro thinks that's what we need to do too.... the nexus isn't a world.... it's a subspace that connects all worlds.... at least, that's what we think.....

Anyway, subspaces don't have cores.... but the nexus does..... that's why we think it's what's dragging the other worlds in.....

It's all just a hypothesis though..... takes more than a few months of research to do any more than guess......
It's true. The core exists, I've seen it.


It's evil, and I will stop it
Hmmm... Hey, Nana... Tell Shinji I wouldn't mind letting him study me, especially if we can fix everything.
Big bro doesn't want to interfere, he just wants to observe.....
Fine, he can observe all he wants then... Trust me, I get tired of pulling stuff in.
It destroys the beauty of some things.
In the end, it's just a guess, Big bro thinks it is a good idea to build a research center here, get everyone's opinions.....
That may just work....
Anyways, I gotta go check some other areas out... Core duties and all.
Bye.....
*Kicks feet in the lake*
It wI'll be a shame to see it dissapear
*Wheels on up*

It won't disappear. I mean, honestly worlds don't disappear. They just end up consumed in void, or darkness, or something really bad and evil.

Only way they can stop existing is to have never existed. And even then they sometimes still exist.... it's complicated, ask Roxas about it.
Well, doesn't matter to me.... when you can travel to any world, the Nexus just makes it easy to find them.
You knwo, I never thought I'd be envious of that power but recent events is starting to make me.
Really? I thought people hated us for that power.....
*kicks feet*
*Magilou is casually strolling by, hands behind her head, when she catches sight of the lake. She runs over to it, and dips her hand in the water, scooping some out only to drop it back into the body of water*
What a lovely little lake we have here. Must make for a great place to lie down.
*Magilou yawns and finds a nearby tree to lean against*
Hated you? I mean, getting outta here seems like a pretty solid deal. Somewhere out there there's gotta be peace, right?
It's really pretty....
Hmm.... I'd say everywhere is like this, conflict happens, then peace, then repeat.
*ash floats across the winds, and the Knight emerges from the forest near the others*

The world is always full of surprises, and sometimes, the hand Fate has dealt is not a favorable one......

On the bright side, this water is fresh and pure....I can make a lovely stew with this
Yeah but we eventually have to leave places like this, or like home. And hear our friends talk about the end of the world again.

I guess that's kinda the part I hate the most. Even if I wanted to just leave it all behind, I can't.
Stew sounds delicious..... want any help?
I've items for it, but if you want something fresh, I'd recommend the deer nearby....if you can fire an arrow true, lass.

*The Knight produces a black ewe shortbow, coupled with a quiver of 20 or so arrows. Setting it on the ground as a sort of invitation. He also takes out a pot and gathers stones and sticks for a cooking spit*
(S H I T not on Knight. Pretend he said that?
*upon hearing the others, Magilou yawns before standing up*
Oh deary me, it seems I never noticed I wasn't alone.
*Magilou perks up when Elite mentions stew*
Nevermind that, I take it we're eating soon? Hope you three country folk don't mind adding room for a fourth.
Country folk? Hah, I wish.

*There was a lack of joking in her tone*
Hey guys. Sorry its been so long, had a vacation that lasted longer than i preferred...
Looks like I will need fresh meat.....if anybody knows how to tend a spit, I will go hunt for surrounding wildlife, unless somebody else wishes to take the bow?
*Magilou feigns shock*
Oh really darling? You seemed so in-place out here I simply assumed. Must be my bad.
*She then turns to Knight, one hand on her heart and another into the air*
Oh my, a innocent lady like me could never be expected to do such fierce things. I'm sure you people can handle the cooking.
Well, I never said it wasn't a life I'd prefer. *wistful sigh...*

But it's not the one I have, nor the one I seem destined for...
*looks at magilou with a shifty look* not much of a tomboy, are ya? Wait a sec... looking at you closer... you're magilou, right? Ive heard of you... but only recently.
Of course, madam. Any other takers?
Uh.... I would.... but I'm not sure I could draw the bowstring..... not too strong.....
I can do something else though.
Nana? You're awake? *runs over to hug nana* oh, i missed you, nana!
*Magilou perks up upon hearing her name and poses, left arm on her heart and right arm stretched out towards the sky*
Well of course you must have heard of me. I'm the great sorceress Magilou, head of Magilou's Menagerie, the greatest performance in the world.
*Magilou crosses her right arm over her body and plays with her hair using her left as she looks at the others out the corner of her eye*
You'd have to be some sort of country bumpkin not to have heard of me.
Then please tend the fire, my tools are in the bag right here *he gestures to a small leather satchel* I shall be gone no longer than 10 minutes.
Oh, and before I forget.....if there is anything strange inside, leave it. It all serves a purpose
Ok!
*hugs dahlia*
Yeah.... woke up yesterday......

Bad time to wake up.....
*starts tending the flames*
*the Knight withdraws into the wilderness, bow and arrow ready*
Im dahlia... ive seen videos of you many interaction among the... members... of your mynagerie. They're quite a sight, lemme tell you. Its nice to meet you, miss magilou. *bows politely*
*Magilou hardly seems to have noticed Dahlia, instead she leans forward, looking at the ground and allowing her arms to go limp*
Oh deary me, it seems I've been given the cold shoulder.
*Magilou straightens back up, hugging herself*
Oh my aching heart, however shall I recover in this cold, cruel world.
Oh, come on... i know my way of saying was rather... rounabout... but im telling you your shows are interesting to me!
... Pretty sure she's exaggerating, but she speaks to my heart's feelings....

*shrugs*
Come on... *holds out her hand* can you stand up?
*the Knight emerges with a rather large amount of cut and prepped venison wrapped in hide. Barely seeming to acknowledge anybody, he puts ingredients in the boiling water, and makes a meat stew. Along with preparing some berries and greens he had on hand*

Perfect.....
*Nana is so focused on the fire, she doesn't seem to hear anything*
*Magilou holds her left hand on her heart and uses her left arm to gesture towards Migrant*
Oh deary me, first you pay me no mind, next you accuse me of being a teller of tall tales. Get any colder and I may not be able to handle it.
Im not saying they're tall tales. But rather, shows that have been recorded by a mysterious overseer and published online. Does that make sense at all to you?
Nothing that happens here makes much sense
The thing is, it didnt happen here.
What? W-well I mean.... they're not... no, it's totally fine. I believe you.

You actually do seem really neat. You're absolutely loving life, and.... well... I don't, that's great!
That's the Nexus for you.
Hooray for bringing people together
Yeah, you can't have this kind of nonsensical fun anywhere else.
Yeah, enjoying life to its fullest is a great thing.
God I hate being me
Ah, it's ready, everyone. I have bowls in my bag, grab one and the ladle as well. Have your fill
*Magilou keeps her pose, but glares at Dahlia out the corner of her eye*
Excuse me missie, I'm afraid I never noticed you. I know you must be a great fan of mine, but would you mind waiting a little?
*She then breaks off, holding both arms towards the sky*
Now that I have your attention perhaps I need to introduce myself ag-
*Magilou is interrupted by Knight and runs off towards his bag, taking out one bowl*
Oh my. It seems the show will have to wait. Consider this payment for my wonderful attention.
Of course, madam.

*The Knight acknowledges magilou but still tends the fire*
*sigh* at least this should be a good meal... *slumps over to the table slowly*
Well alright. You really need to teach me how you manage to do that staying happy thing.

Now, something about food?
Yes, I have made venison stew, please enjoy
*has already gotten a bowl*
Mmmm..... ish good!
Mmmhmhhmhm.... soo... goood...
I havent had venison since i was 5 or 6... well... time to dig in. *nom* mmm... very good. Brings back memories.
*Struggles to get herself a bowl*

Stupid leg...
*makes a bowl for migrant* do not strain yourself, friend.
Thanks. Yeah, Shaigis would kill me if I messed myself up any worse.
*Magilou ladles out a bowl for herself and begins to dig in*
Oh my, the heat, the flavor. Its been a while since I've last had a wonderful, warm meal like this.
I know right? So good! *she continues eating*
I am glad you all like it
There's plenty more warm meals around here. I mean, provided the place your eating at isn't blown up or anything.
The last few cafes met *unfortunate* end that way...
It's a crying shame. Honestly we need a government that'll do something about this.

How are we ever going to put people wanting to destroy the world behind us if we can't even deal with cafe bombers?
Well I am a God so I do what I can, but if I can't stop them then the only person who can is Mishima himself...
*Magilou smiles and leans back against a tree as she finishes her bowl*
Maybe I'll have to check out one of these places some time.
*Magilou shrugs*
The towns seem weird here, but I'm sure there are more than enough people for me to make a living off.
Huh... a god, huh? I wonder if that life is more exciting. I should ask Shaigis or Star that one.

So what, are you an entertainer, miss....?
Life is always full of problematic encounters. Yet one lives for the hope that they shall make life pure.....a fools errand. Life is about managing yourself, so your problematic encounters just become....encounters.

Friends, I encourage you to think positively.....your experiences overall, regardless if they were full of joy or sorrow, is it not wonderful to know you have had them? To have the ability to proclaim you experienced it, for better or worse? Life is a collective dice roll, now if we're done being existential....eat, it's very nutricious and very fresh
*walks back into sight of the waterfall, looking throughly exhausted*
Man.... Stabilizing stuff and isn't as easy as it looks.
*now finished with her stew, Magilou stands, carelessly throwing the bowl aside. She poses, leaning forward a little while putting her left hand on her hip and right hand on her chin*
Why of course, I am the great sorceress Magilou, head of Magilou's Menagarie. I go from town to town showing off my skills to the adoring crowds.
*Magilou straightens up and crosses her arms*
And of course, I put on these great shows in exchange for food and rest at the local inn. What else can they do after I bring such light to their poor, darling little eyes?
*Cracks a rare smile these days!*

That sounds wonderful. You know... I used to be something of an idol, with singing and such.

But... well... I'll admit I haven't been so good at the singing part as of late... haven't been good at a lot of things. It's like some force in my soul has vanished since I got stabbed.
Like i was saying before, im dahlia. Its a pleasure to meet you. *she holds her hand out again*
.......... I guess..... but.... what if you wish you had never experienced them?
*sits under a tree not far from the others and closes her eyes*
Just a little rest....
*Magilou shrugs and turns away, crossing her arms*
Suit yourselves then. People can be so miserable. Not that it matters, really.
*Magilou finally notices Dahlia, and vigorously shakes her hand*
If it isn't my adoring fan. Pleasure to meet you little miss dahlia.
Maybe you'll be able to see one of my performances soon. I never disappoint
I've learned to sleep wherever is fitting. Tis the same with eating.

I am glad my stew was to your liking, Madame Magilou
Miserable, huh...?

I guess I kinda have been being miserable lately, huh?
Apologies in advance, miss magilou, but i tend to over sleep frequently. Ill certainly try. Thank you. *bows again*
*Magilou stands again and looks at the lake around them*
Come to think of it, I suppose I might be a little out of practice.
*Magilou stamps her foot and stands tall, both hands on her hips*
That's it, I'll put on a sample showing for you oh so wonderful people as thanks.
*Magilou steps back and begins gesturing to the air*
Welcome welcome, one and all to the start of the show. Now, before we begin, does anyone in the audience have a request?
*as Shaigis snoozes, music fills the air*
Um.... no request here.
Do whatever you feel is best, Madame Magilou
Nothing in particular, really...
*Magilou grins as the theme begins to play*
No requests, nothing at all? Very well then, let the show begin.

*Magilou runs a little ways away before her hand seems to glow, she flourishes it before waving it high into the air, releasing pigeons into the air and flower petals flourish around. She briefly bows, before looking back up. and raising both of her arms, leaving a rainbow in the air behind her*
With all these tricks and more, Magilou's Menagarie manufactures mirth. Speaking of other tricks.
*Magilou takes off her hat and bows dramatically, leaving a cat to fall out of the hat and run off towards the woods*
Oh my, such magnificent sorcery....
Wow... *her eyes light up as she claps*
*Laughs downright happily at the cat.*

This show is awesome!
*Magilou fits her hat back on and straightens up, running over to a nearby tree. She briefly glances at it, before stretching her arm towards it, smiling as a squirrel seems to run out from under her hair and across her arm, leaping off and onto the tree.*
And now for the lightshow.
*Magilou puts her hands together, leaving a large hole in the middle. There seems to be nothing there, but when she blows through it a series of rainbow-colored bubbles come out, and begin to fill the air. The bubbles reflect the sunlight and cause a bit of a glare*
Oh my.....like shards of Sunlight....
She makes the mundane seem so.... beautiful....
*Magilou bows once more, as butterflies seem to peel themselves off of her sleeves and fly into the air, most of the butterflies seem to get trapped in the bubbles, leaving the air filled with pink and blue*
And now for the finale.
*Magilou leans back and raises both hands, a light glows at the end of each. She gestures towards the bubbles, and the lights leave her hands and go up into the sky, exploding in a brilliant flash. Once the flash has cleared the bubbles that trapped the butterflies seem to have popped, and the butterflies fly off into the distance, leaving the remaining bubbles to drift down around the group as Magilou bows*
So beautiful... *seeing this triggers a flashback to the party at the scarlet devil mansion*
What a lovely show, Madame Magilou. well worth it
Bravo! Bravo! *more clapping*
*Applauds excitedly!* You're AMAZING!
*As Magilou raises back up from her bow, the bubbles among the crowd pop*
Thank you, thank you, my adoring public.
Why, I've been waiting for such a crowd ever since the days of yore when I first began my performances.
*Magilou feigns swooning*
I must say it warms my little heart. You've no idea how hard it can be as a great sorceress such as I.
A wonderful sorceress indeed. I cannot perform such flourishes even with my most beautiful spells....
Please.... we're nothing special.

I will admit, I wish I had magic as interesting as your's. Real magic looks like what we do with Personas look brutish and quaint.
Now that i think about it, that light show reminds me of something similar i did with light beams and ice crytals... except mine was a lot more... explosive than this. Great job though, miss magilou! It was quite a spectacle!
*Magilou looks up in thought for a moment, before calmly looking back at Migrant, hand on her chin*
Oh you must be more used to those exorcists and their use of magic. Poor things. Its really powerful, but I'd hate to be the malak forced to work with them.
*Magilou starts playing with her hair and looking at the lake*
Though I've never heard of anyone calling them Personas before, usually its just Malak. If they're lucky they'll even get a number.
Personas are more like mytilogical people and creatures manifested from within us. I can show you how one looks like. *right on cue, ratatoskr appears* "you called?" they can also use healing magic, like mine.
It's more like the power of your heart.... though I do have to admit, stylistically I'm not a fan.

*hah hah*

Maybe if I get another crack at that time travel microwave I'll get rid of mine.
Personas can use magic?
My magic comes from the catalysts used for them. Chimes and Talismans for the miracles of the divine, staves for magic of the grand Archives, and a pyromancy flame for channeling the fires of the Witches of Izalith
*Magilou smiles before turning away and playing with her hair*
Interesting, so they're basically Malak, except they don't always look like people....
*She keeps turned as she gives Migrant a sideways glance*
And basically they enhance your abilities. Sounds like it can be kinda a drag.
*Magilou waves and smirks before running off*
Now then, sorry my ADORING public, but I've got places to be, and people to find. Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again?
How very odd indeed. It makes sensense for you to use catalysts sir knight, but for the persona itself to be able to use magic...
Yeah. Fireballs, lightning bolts, gusts of wind, even bursts of psychic energy! And of couse some healing based ones.
I understand, though... fare thee well, miss magilou.
Maybe you are overlooking the fact, it is YOU using the magic
Have a pleasant trip, Madame Magilou
Now that would be quite the twist, but I don't think so. We can't use such power without summoning our Persona.

Though... if you knew a way...
I am the God of magic, I bestowed magic onto humans, not their hearts, or "personas" as you call them, that is why I am so confused...
Well... its possible for others to have one if certain conditions are met.
Honestly....

Where I came from, Personas didn't even exist...
I can teach magic as I understand it, but I have no clue as to if it shall succeed for you
Where i come from, personas are part of a video game franchise.
*Nana sits at the lake edge, Watching the stars, kicking her feet in the water*
*Walking carefully up to Nana, Robin eyed the waterfall...*
.....Nana...
Heyo Robin-kun.....
Pretty, huh?
Yeah..
Reminds me of another waterfall I've seen...
*Robin sat down, eyeing the waterfall..*
This is why I love this place.... The Nexus seems to gather all the most beautiful places.....
....I don't this to go away....
.....Especially...that it led me to meet you...
*Robin scratched the back of his head*
You're not gonna get any brownie points for trying to woo me..... Just be yourself.... None of the romantic stuff......
*Robin chuckled*
That obvious huh..
Disgustingly so.....
Ouch..
*Robin faked a hurt expression as he cradled his chest, hands over his heart*
Your words wound me Nana..
Yeah yeah.....
So, you here just to butter me up? Or is there a reason?
*Robin just gave a small smile*
..I just..wanted spend time with you...is all...
Ok.... That's fine.....
............... Do you like Milk?
Depends on the kind of milk..
I love full-cream Milk..
Uhhh..... I dunno.... It's milk....

*pulls a glass out and pours him a cup, drinking her own*
*Grinning, Robin grabbed the glass and drunk it down..*
..Mm...It's great Milk...
Heh.... You don't know where that milk came from.
Well...
....No need to tell me otherwise I'll probably gag..
*Robin gave a silly grin*
Oh C'mon.... It's not THAT disgusting..... It's better than coming from some kind of animal....
It taste's great, that's all I need to know for now.
*Robin kept drinking it..*
Mm.....it really does taste good...
Ehehe.... Thanks.....
...... Hey.... What was your home world like?
Home world..?
...Honestly, I was just a student before I got power...
...It wasn't until recently I got pulled into the Nexus..
....Raven must have been the same way when she transferred back a few months ago...
...But...
...In my family house...
...It was nice...
..At the edges of the residential district towards the forests..
...There was plenty of ground for more to hike and explore when I was young...
What's school like?
School was weird place for me...
..Sure, it was fun..
...But I never made much friends...
...When I got my power...
...I thought I had friends...people I could trust..
.....Beyond that..
..The school work and lessons were kind of fun in the end...
Huh..... Always wanted to go to school.... Never got to....
Hmm..... What do you want out of life?
Maybe I can help you get into Shujin...
I technically missed a year and half of school..
..Maybe we could go back and graduate..
*Robin laughed as he ran his hand through his hair*
...What do I want out of life..?
...I suppose....
..I want to help make the world a better place...
..to save people...
...to achieve peace...
Beyond that...
...I....I want to make sure that four people are happy....
You're a dreamer... aren't you? You've got lofty goals, Simple, yet extremely difficult goals.....
Difficult it maybe..
...But....I believe if I keep trying...If I keep working hard for it...
....I'll achieve it one day...
Yup... Definitely a dreamer...
Umm..... Thanks.... For everything....
You protected me plenty of times....
You comforted me when I needed it most....
....... You were there for me..... even when I wasn't responsive.....
Thanks......
*Robin gave her a smile*
Don't sweat it..
I want to make you happy after all..
Happy......
Hehehe.....
When I first came here I was happy.....
But.... Ever since.....
..................
Why aren't I happy anymore?
*She seems disturbed by this revelation*
Bad things tend to happen to good people...
..But...
...regardless of that...
*Robin gently laid his hand on her head, patting it*
....I'm going to keep trying to make you happy...
It's weird.... I used to be happy naturally.....
Now I don't remember how to be happy......
....I can help you find a way to be happy again...
...Just let me help you...
...I promise....I'm not going to let you down...
*Robin offered his hand towards her*
Well..... It'd be dumb to not accept help.....
*takes hand*
Sure.
*Robin grinned as he held her hand*
I'll find a way to make you happy...
No matter what Nana...
So.... Any suggestions?
*Looks at hands*
*mutters*
there it is again.....
Hmm...
We could hang out somewhere!
Maybe the beach..!
*Robin smiled as he tried to come up with thoughts*
....Hmmm...?
...there is what..?
Beach sounds fun....
*Flushes a bit when Robin asks*
Nothing.... I don't really get it myself anyway....
*Robin grinned at her*
Then I'll take you out to the beach..
We can kick back and have fun in the sun..!
Oh! And I can wear my swimsuit!
*she seems to be getting excited*
Sure..!
That'll certainly be something to be excited about..!
*Robin grinned*
When are you free..?
Well, Always.... Don't really have much to do.....
Hmm..
How about we go to the mall to buy a swimsuit before going to the beach ?
Yes!
So much Yes!
*Robin grinned before he gently led the way*
Then come on, let's go to the mall..
Sure!
*Follows Robin, Hand in hand*
