*Gamma finds himself at the edge of the pool, gazing across the water. Soon he notices Jormungand, and gives her a little wave , before looking back across the waters*

Jorumungand waves back, some bubbles that probably mean "Hello." She surfaces next to Gamma. "How are you, Mr. Gamma?"

*Gamma chuckles and smiles at Jormungand* I'm doing wonderfully Jorm.... Mind if I just call you Jory? It's a lot easier.

*the Knight turns into the area from a nearby alleyway. He notices the familiar people and goes to greet them, feeling that he could have a nice time* Ah, Sir Gamma and Lady Jormungand. Delightful to stumble upon you once again

Jormungand smiles back. "That's f-fine. A lot of people made n-nicknames for me in the deep sea t-too."

*Gamma waves at Knight as he approaches* Hello again, I trust you've been well. As for myself, well honestly I'm better than I have been in a while. *Gamma turns back to Jormungand and pats her on the head* Jory it is then.

Blushing lightly at Gamma's pat, she takes notice of the Knight. "H-Hello again Mister Knight. Good to s-see you too."

*Gamma chuckles when he sees Jormungand blush, and quickly attempts to hide it with his hand* Alright then Jory, have you seen anything interesting from your little pool? I figure you've been here a while, perhaps something cool may have passed by.

Jormungand doesn't mind Gamma hiding her blush, allowing him to do it. "I've heard some f-fancy music, not sure w-where... that's all..."

*Gamma smiles and leans back, taking his hands away from Jormungand and keeping eye contact* There might be a concert hall nearby. They often play classical music there... Do you think you might want to visit it some day? Or perhaps somewhere else, get out a little. You know?

"That sounds n-nice... I've been to the b-beach once too." Remembering about something, Jormungand goes underwater, all the way into a bottom corner. Soon, she pops back up with a cane in her two hands. "I also found this... maybe s-someone dropped it.."

*Gamma looks at the cane closely, though he doesn't seem to recognize it* I know a few people who carry canes around. Weird, since I don't think any of them need it. Though, It doesn't really look like any of theirs, its not like I've checked.

"Really? Then I guess it is weird.." Jormungand puts the cane at the edge of the pool just in case. "W-Well then... Do you do anything s-special, Mr. Gamma?" She blushes a bit, embarrassed by her attempt at starting up a new conversation.

*Gamma, sits straight up and thinks for a moment* Well... I don't think there's anything too cool about me. I can make ice.... Some weird da..... *As though a lightbulb went on in his head, Gamma stands up* Actually, there is one cool thing I can do. I have a bit of a.... Ghost friend. That I can call out. Like this. Shiranui. *a small blue flame appears behind Gamma, and it burns a path through the air around him, leaving behind the image of a long, scaly body made of fire. After a few loops the flame stops, forming a head and completing the image of a blazing Eastern-style dragon*

Jormungand stares in awe at Shiranui, amazed at how it formed. "T-That's amazing... H-How do you do it?" She gets out of the pool, sitting down. A little intimidated by its look, Jormungand shuffles a small bit away from Gamma and ghost dragon.

*Gamma looks over to Shiranui, the form is incapable of making any expression, and instead simply swims through the air around Gamma* Its.... Kinda complicated. Basically this, SHiranui, is what's called a Persona, a manifestation of my inner strength. There are several ways to awaken to one, most consistent one being facing your shadow, but that is.... Risky. for several reasons. Once you've awakened to one its as easy as concentrating and calling out their name. I've.... Actually been doing research into all sorts of supernatural stuff here.

"So a Persona is like some s-sort of a-awakened power? Then what are Shadows supposed to be?" She stands up looking at Gamma intrigued, small drips of water dropping from her skirt.

*the Knight comes closer, and takes out the evoker that Sho gave him. Without hesitation and to the suprise of the others, he shoots himself in the head. Causing Lancelot to appear and stand solemnly, his sword pointed to the ground, both his hands grasping the hilt* I have the same thing, Lady Jormungand. This is Lancelot.

*Dastardly is hiding in the bushes as he peers out at the people at the pool* Heheheheh! Today I will be succesful, there is no way my plan can go wrong at all! Behind me I have a tank full of boiling water which I will I will put in that pool as a replacement! Then when they go into that pool now filled with boiling hot water, they will be boiled alive giving me the lead to win the Wacky Races! *He pushes a button as the tank starts to whirl. Then water starts going down the hose leading to the pool* Heheheh! Today is the day! I can feel it! *What Dastardly doesn't realize is that his foot is on the hose causing it to start getting bigger ready to burst. He then turns around to see the boulder sized build up of boiling water behind him* Oh...no... *The hose explodes blasting Dastardly far off with hot water burning him turning him to a bright red* AAAA! HOT! HOT! I'LL GET YOU ALL NEXT TIME! YOU HEAR ME! I WILL GET YOU ALL! *Dastardly disappears over the horizon*

Jormungand looks at the Knight in surprise by the fact he shot himself, and also because of Lancelot being summoned. "W-Wow... This is a whole new t-type of magic to me..."

*Gamma looks over at the knight's persona, and blinks a few times, before hearing Dastardly's explosion and watching the man fly* I... Wh.... *sigh* Don't question the man flying off into the sunset. More important things. *Gamma turns back to Knight, and looks at the evoker in his hand* Come to think of it, I know someone who used a similar tool to force his out. Though, it didn't look as... Suspicious.... *Gamma clears his throat and looks back to Jormungand* Well, there are a few kinds of shadows. The one you're looking for would be a sort of... Manifestation of any of your secrets or insecurities. They're malicious, and if they get you to deny their existence... Well, that's when things get really scary. Lesser shadows are little more than monsters. Either way, its something to stay clear of

Regardless, they can end your life. With the power I have now, I can fight them more reliably.....I digress, Lady Jormungand, if I may, do you like sparkling things?

Jormungand switches from looking at Lancelot to Gamma. "You know a l-lot of things, Mister Gamma..." She blushes, much more than the last few times. "W-Would it be fine to be f-friends?"

Saeko ran up to the crowd, an alert look in her eye. "W-What's going on?! I heard an explosion and a scream while walking by, is everyone all right?"

*Gamma scratches the back of his head and smiles* It comes with the territory. Stick around long enough and you'll get used to this weirdness.... *Gamma shuffles awkwardly back and forth for a moment before sighing* I guess if you want, I wouldn't mind being friends. You seem nice enough anyways. *Upon hearing Saeko's approach Gamma calmly turns around* I think some guy rocketed himself. At least, I heard that same explosion, turned around, and saw a man fly off into the sunset. We're fine, dunno about him though.

Jormungand smiles, immersing herself back in water. She turns to Knight, taking a small shiny seashell from her pocket. "Yes I do, Mister Knight. I l-like a lot of s-sparkly things.." Answering Knight's question, she then turns to Saeko. "Everything's f-fine Ma'am."

Yes, I believe that man may be quite displaced right now. All due process aside, Greetings, Lady Saeko. *The Knight and Lancelot bow courteously.*

Saeko sighs, scratching the back of her head. "I should not still be surprised by things such as this, should I?" She nods in greeting towards everyone present. Before glancing at the sunset. "Whoever he was, I hope he does not end up severely injured..."

Wonderful, Lady Jormungand. Then as a present of....what do people call it now.....housewarming? Yes, I believe that's it. Take these stones, they are lovely decorations. *The Knight hands over a bag of stones that glow various colors, they seem to switch colors every few seconds, and reflect like a clear mirror. The glow is hard to turn your gaze from.* They are prism stones, like land markers

"Oooh... these look pretty!" Taking the stones, Jormungand goes underwater, placing the bag in a corner of the pool. "I won't lose them t-there. Thank you Mister!" She turns to Saeko, smiling. "H-Hello there, h-have we met?"

She leans towards Jormungand. "Have you forgotten me? I was here the other day, alongside the other two here. I had inquired about the deep sea. The name is Saeko."

"O-Oh, right.. My name's Jormungand. Or you can c-call me by a nickname.." Jormungand yawns, tired from staying awake mere 4 hours.

*Gamma smiles as he leans back and watches the others... He decides to simply watch for now, though Gamma yawns himself*

Saeko land back, checking her pocket watch with a sigh. "I apologize for the bad timing, but I should depart.i still have things I need to finish up today. I hope to see you again." Saeko waves to Jormungand, turning around and departing to with a wave over her shoulder to the others.

"See you later.. Miss Saeko.." Jormungand yawns, swimming to the bottom of the pool and falling asleep.
