*Laharl appears* What up, nibbrinnies?

What are you doing here my friend?

"Wow didn't even have to wait long. And I didn't know about this place for all my life?! God... A-Anyways! Nice to meet you both, I take it you're both regulars around here?"

Nope, i'm the demon overlord of the universe. Do what I say, or i'll cut you.

*his fingers starts growing metal claws* I got a evolution virus in my body.

Its fine now, Why? Because I am here!

Then if you're a overlord? Then why you have an attitude problem?

"Yeah cute, real funny. Do you know the layout of Mementos or no? I'm trying to pile together a bunch of information on this place and I need all the help I can get." She looks around for a little longer, squinting her eyes and wearing a light frown.

*he opens up a map of Mementos* There you go.

Mementos? This place looks like total garbage! I bet you it doesn't even have 100 floors! It probably caps at 69 or something.

*Gamma is looking at his phone as he warps into mementos. He sighs and looks around, bringing a slight chill in the air with him, he soon notices the group and shakes his head* Can I not find some peace even here? Good grief, its like the whole world's filled with you people.

"...Convenient. I'm trying to put together an expedition team. Granted I've been here as many times as I can count on my fingers, but with enough time, I'm planning on camping out here and documenting this place. You know. Like writing about the locals. Real friendly, they tried to break my arm once."

*Laharl turns to Gamma* Hey, can you please explain to me what "GET SMOKED" means and why it say that on your hat? Come to think of it... *Laharl grabs his own hat with his right hand* Why does it say it on my hat? I don't remember getting a hat!

*his arms mutates and hardened chitin is seen rapidly growing all over his limbs and hands* Ready?

The hell is even happening

"Seems to be a trend, I don't quite get it either. If I can get a sticker for my headphones that'd be nice! Whatever, that's not the point! The point is I need a team, who's in?"

I volunteer Flonne. I need some way to get rid of her.

SQUARe UP LAHARL

I've been with you. And Laharl learn some fucking respect. I don't even fucking give a shit if you're an overlord.

*Gamma sighs and starts walking further into Mementos* You can follow me if you want. I'm letting off some steam. Couldn't care less what you do.

"That sounds like you're offloading problems onto me and people who do that get to meet shark man. Once I figure out how to summon him again... Off track again!"

Take starts walking off behind Gamma with a decently sized notebook in hand. "So uh... why is it always reddish down here? You think there's a reason?"

If I attach rockets to meteors can I make them stronger?

It makes you look like a total idiot. Takeno, time to venture into Mementos.

*Gamma sighs and shakes his head, walking onwards* I have no earthly idea why its red, nor do I care. All I know is that the nearest socially-acceptable punching bag is down there. And that's great.

"Socially acceptable... punching bag. Alright, sure I'll play along. How deep does it go anyways?"

Mementos is around 60-70 floors.

Far as I know, forever. The place expands all the time. There may not be a bottom. And yes, those shadows we met earlier. I'm referring to them. Most people don't appreciate being frozen as it turns out.

"Oh, yeah I'm okay with fighting those guys. They broke my arm, that's why I'm gonna kick their ass. But I want to write down the types of shadows and stuff. And what their weaknesses are. Although... my Persona has not been cooperating with me. Hasn't been showing up."

Do you have a mask Takeno?

"Well yeah but it's uncomfortable, what about it?"

Hey! Wait up for me! *Junpei has entered the game! Hes on a skateboard and wearing heelies, using them to try to get to the party faster, however it appears he's trying to do a heel turn and a kick flip at the same time, it fails spectacularly as he crashes into multiple walls before wiping out completely, Gah! Woah! Ow!

*Gamma sighs and casts Takeno a cold sideways glance* Did you feel it at first, when I came around? The chill that is. There are several ways to force out your Persona. Two main ones. First, concentration, if you focus on making it appear, and what you want it to do, your Persona should appear for you. Its far from easy though. Second, emotion. As you may have noticed, I came here in a poor mood, so some of Shiranui's effects, the lingering chill, is leaking through without my intent. Then you rip off that mask you're wearing, and it should appear in full force.

"Well I mean I could call him out to just walk around right? Let's try it." Take closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It took a few minutes before finally, the same tall and slender figure from before reappeared behind her, its sharp teeth glistening a bit in the light. "Lotan! Uh... walk with me?" The Persona responded by walking closely behind, its expression blank as ever."

Take looked towards Junpei, raising a brow. "Oh look another one joins the fray, I hope you'll have the patience to bear with my while I learn this place."

*Gamma hardly looks at Takeno as he hears Lotan's walk* Wonderful. Fantastic. Good for you. Eventually it'll be second nature for you. Of course, for some people, summoning a persona is completely natural. They hardly have to work towards anything. *sigh* Its like the whole world just revolves around those.... *Gamma shakes his head and continues moving forward* Sorry, venting a little. Nevermind that. *Gamma catches sight of Junpei and sighs* My apologies Junpei, but please do not talk to me right now. I'm far from the most patient I've ever been.

"It still takes a lot of focus, I nearly tripped! Of course now that he's out it doesn't seem very difficult. So uh... do you know much about the types of shadows down here? I just remember the big burly ones from the first time."

Sorry kid. I don't pay much attention to the shadows I fight. My options are..... limited, to say the least, so its not really worth my time to analyze them individually. All I really know is that they come in so many shapes and sizes sometimes its hard to believe they're part of the same group. *Gamma grins* Why, there are even shadows that look exactly like people. Though they're much rarer.

"Kid?! Who are you calling kid? I'm not that short am I? Whatever... you said there were people-looking shadows? Are they dangerous?"

*Gamma chuckles as they walk along* Oh, exceedingly. They're typically some of the strongest shadows you'll find. Don't normally stay too human for long if that makes you feel better about running. I mean, you can fight them, but its usually not worth the effort.

"If you say so. Let's just hope they're not human enough for me to feel sympathy for them... So another question. How'd you get your Persona anyways? Is it always just getting the shit kicked into you or...?"

*Gamma sighs and shakes his head* A Persona is... Very personal. Its an embodiment of your inner spirit. So, the methods of awakening them are as varied as there are people. Its probably not a good idea to ask people how they got theirs. Some won't take kindly to the question. I hope you understand what I mean.
