*Down in the street, caught on camera, Setsuna exited an alley. She walked down the empty sidewalk, looking very different from before. She almost seemed possessed, walking in a way almost zombielike. She was muttering something, but it was too quiet to hear*

(A falcon curcles overhead. Watching and waiting in the moonlit sky.) Caaaaw...

*gets up knowing what sanoba is about to say and jump down from the building, landing on my feet and walks to where setsuna is*

sanoba: *sigh and looks up* that is one weird falcon

*Setsuna stopped as Naho appeared, her rather scary expression returning to the shy and scared look she usually has* H-Hi... Are you out for... a stroll...? *Setsuna seemed herself again. On closer expression, she had blood on her clothes*

*hand my hand near my sword* to answer your question. no im not, my friend sanoba saw you on the cams and to give you a question why is there blood on you

*has my not hand my

(The falcon scoffs at the commemt and roosts on a nearby balcony. He watches the pair with interest. His eyes narrowed and senses sharpened.) Caaacaaaw....

Blood...? *Setsuna looks down and realizes that she was messy. She looks toward Naho again, looking scared as she backed away* I... I... This is a mistake... It's not... Please don't hurt me... *Continues to back away, tears in her eyes*

just tell me what happens and i will not use my sword... sanoba: ... *says nothing*

You can't understand... No one can understand!!! *Setsuna, looking clearly upset, turned around and started running*

*Sigh* it's always the hard way with these people *uses my ninja speed to get in front of Setsuna and tries to pin her down*

Tch! *Her expression finally turning aggressive, Setsuna drew a pocket knife and tried to stab Naho as she got close*

SCREEEE! (The falcon licks his beak as the pair begin to cross blades.)

*naho soon grab the hand with the knife using one arm and using the other arm to pin her down* what did you do!

... *Setsuna looked deep into Naho's eyes as she was pinned* Per...so...na... Jack the Ripper! *A robed skeleton in a hat with a dagger appeared behind Naho, striking at her with a large dagger*

(The falcon licks his beak once more in ecstasy upon seeing the form come from Setsuna. He launches off the balcony and takes flight closer to the action, drinking in the raw emtions raging from the girls.) CAAAAAW!

*rolls off of @Setsuna_Aizawa but my arm gets hit by the dagger, my right eye turns red but i shake my head and its back to normal* tell me what did you do *is not showing any angry*

*Gets up, looking at Naho with a twisted expression* You nosy invading BITCH! You couldn't mind your own business, could you? You have to get in my way... *She smirks* Why would I tell you anything? Why don't you go find out what happened? You'll never prove I did anything. I was just going to report what I saw...

why should i trust you, you did try to use a attack that was ment to harm me while i was trying to find out why there is blood on you...

You had your hand on your sword... I know your type. You have power so you think you can flex your power against the weaker people. This world was mine before it was any of yours! I'm proving my existence! The more I hurt, the stronger I get... The more I validate my existence... The closer I get to you. You who take my home from me and exert your existence over mine!

CAWCAWCAWCAW!! (The bird laughs at the girl trying to talk herself out of the fight. He swoops lower to investigate the pair closer, keeping a safe distance away in case things go south.)

the reason why i had my hand on my sword was going to be used as self-defense... i dont want to flex my powers on the weak, i want to protect them. what do you mean by it was yours before mine. and i dont want to prove my existence over anyones

All of you shits... Foreigners, invaders... You dare call this place you named the Nexus home... I was born here, before any of you arrived! Then you like in with your powers, your stupid names and conflicts and your "gods"... Do you know how it feels? To be an experiment? To wake up to the truth if your world, only to find out your life was a lie? That you were fake!? That you are just manufactured by a fucking system to appease a bunch of superpowered idiots!? I'm not an NPC anymore... I'm different... I HAVE BECOME STRONG! And soon I will be just as strong as any of you! I will gain more and more EXP, I WILL BE AS REAL AND FEEL AS MUCH AS ANY OF YOU! *Laughs maniacally, spinning around as if she were free after 15 years in prison*

(The falcon's eyes dart to the horizon and he quickly beelines for the outskirts of the town.)

i abused in my life... i was stab, cut and starved every second of my life the only person who cared about me was wolf but soon he gets taken away and i kept getting abused... i had to deal with this for some years until someone killed them then i had to into hiding, steal food and water. hope i live for another day then soon the world is full of despair, people wanting to kill you, make you feel despair... i soon found a friend who in her past was raped, and i met her other friends who were also abused.. soon one of her friends that faked they had broken legs, that friend put something in me that made me have another side to me that wants to kill people and make them feel despair

You think your problems matter to me? You have a past. You have a backstory. You have your pains, experiences, flaws and strengths... I... Never had any of that... I have no good memories, friends, things to look back on... I just exist... All I was created to do was exist. I'm nothing. My family, classmates... All nothing... But I'm different now... I have become real. I am strong. And I will continue to validate my existence... If you get in my way... I'll collect your EXP too. *Smirks, licking the end of her pocket knife*

*takes out my sword* i will not let you hurt anyone else! OOC: some battle music

Then try and stop me, invader-san~ *Jack the Ripper appears between them and attacks with Skewer*

*dodges and runs up to setsuna and tries to attack her*

*Is slashed, crying out as she falls back. Something strange happens, her existence seeming to flicker with 1s and 0s* Tch... That will stop... Soon! *Jack casts Bufudyne as she tries to put distance between herself and Naho*

*throws a Shuriken at setsuna*

*Dodges it barely, now casting Deabilitate (all stats lowered)*

great this is not good... *runs at setsuna and tries to slash her* sanoba: *is on the computer and is trying to make setsuna into a human*

*Takes the hit, once again glitching and casts Bufudyne* Just... Die...

sanoba: *is almost done* *takes out a bow an arrow and shoots a fire arrow near setsuna in hope to make her scare*

[Flying out of almost nowhere, Hazama swings from the Ouroboros and nails naho with a kick to the head.] Oops, sorry. I guess my foot slipped. [Just to add insult to injury, he digs his heel into the back of their head. He turns to the girl nearby.] You must be Setsuna Aizawa, I've seen your picture. What luck, that I ran into you first. You can call me Hazama, you and I are gonna be friends from now on, 'kay?

*While that battle was going on, Momoko and Jackie Frost set up a snowcone stand. They place a sign that says "Free Snowcones".*

... *is just shocked due to what has just happened*

*The cold blooded, crazed Setsuna is not scare by arrow, but seeing an opportunity, Setsuna pretends to get hit by the arrow and drops to one knee. Acting pained, Setsuna sobs like her old self* Please... Naho-chan... I don't wanna fight anymore... *With Hazama's sudden appearance, Setsuna quickly drops her BS acting and looks at him in shock. Though confused, Setsuna nods, seeing her way out of this situation* Y-Yes... Hazama-san... We'll be friends... *She stands up, looking at him with madness in her eyes and a sick smile*

Aww, what's wrong little buddy? [Hazama says this to naho, delivering a harsh stomp to their back. The cement below them cracks from the kick, and Hazama's cruel smile only widens.] Does it hurt? Oh, I hope it does. As much as I would love to stay here and kick your ass, I have much more important stuff to do. [He turns to the girl, obviously not bothering to show any restraint.] What do you say we go get some snowcones, then we can chat somewhere nice and quiet. Away from pathetic garbage like this, eh?

sanoba: *Sigh* great now i have to save naho *gets up and begins to run to naho location*

*Setsuna smiles, giggling madly as she watches Naho get pummeled* Yes, Hazama-san... This one isn't worth the EXP right now... I'll kill her last, because she was so fun. *Setsuna savagely kicks Naho, spitting on her in addition as her Persona disappears. She then turns to Hazama, personality doing a 180 as she smiles bashfully in admiration* Y-Yes... Snowcones would be... nice...

[Completely casually, Hazama requests two snow cones from the stand, even offering to pay for them despite the sign saying they were free.]

*sanoba keeps running to his friend. naho, hoping that he can save her before she dies*

*She holds out the snowcones, not accepting the money.*

*but he was too late, he went to naho picked her up, closed her eyes and begins to walk somewhere... naho was dead for good this time*

[Hazama, mid-snowcone bite watches Sanoba leave.] Hm, neat. She's dead, whatever. Seeya next week. [Hazama leaves the area, leaving the money where it was on the stand.]

*With Naho's death, Setsuna felt stronger. Her body became heavier, and her emotions becoming more like a real person. EXP increased* Aahh... That person was strong... I feel better than I did after killing those normies! *Giggles creepily innocently, accepting her snowcone. She blushed, feeling like she's on a date* S-Shall we go, Hazama-san? *She disappears with Hazama into the night*
