A Place for Practical Advice
OOC: i have no idea how to write naoto so im making this thread to practice [Naoto is sitting on a sofa in a small, well furnished and well lit room. She doesn’t seem to be preoccupied, and is waiting for people to enter.] It seems as though there isn’t much happening. For now, I suppose this room will just be just a small place for advice.
AfterM
*Someone knocks on the door.* Hello? Is this the home of the Detective Prince?
Shirogane_Naoto
[Naoto walks to the door and opens it.] Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it a home. What is it that you need advice on? [She gestures for the stranger to sit down on one of the chairs or couches im the room.]
AfterM
*The stranger sits down on the couch.* Well, I best tell you from the beginning. There is a town named Shibuya, which is where I come from. I have to say that the residents that live there are... odd.
AfterM
Well, that's quite an understatement.
Shirogane_Naoto
Odd, you say? Would you mind elaborating on that? [Naoto closes the door and turns to face the stranger.]
AfterM
*He glances at the door behind Naoto.* Is it locked?
Shirogane_Naoto
No. Should I lock it? [She raises an eyebrow at the stranger.]
AfterM
Well... I trust that you, as the Detective Prince, will not share any of what I say. But i'm not so sure about others.
AfterM
I merely wish for complete privacy on this topic.
Shirogane_Naoto
Well, there’s nobody else here yet. So consider your privacy protected. [Naoto walks away from the door and sits down on a chair.]
AfterM
Well, this may be unbelievable, but the entire town of Shibuya posseses supernatural powers. Maybe you've heard of the rumors?
Shirogane_Naoto
Not necessarily, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if I caught wind of anything similar. [She tilts her head to the side, listening.]
AfterM
We call these powers... Personas. Many of the professors in our area have tried to explain this phenomenon. It is, apparently, as manifestation of our inner selves, often represented by masks. You may have heard of the Phantom Thieves incident.
Shirogane_Naoto
I’ve obviously heard of the Phantom Thieves incident. And I know quite well of Personas. Is there anything else you’d like to explain to me?
AfterM
You... know well of Personas?
Shirogane_Naoto
It’s my job to be informed about these kinds of things. I originally thought it was a preosterous idea, but I’ve been proven otherwise. However, you seem a bit confused. Is this sort of knowledge of some sort of secret?
Yu-Narukami
A familiar face walks into the room. Its a face Naoto recognizes well, the face of Yu Narukami. Yu looks around the room with his usual composed expression before addressing Naoto. Oh, hey Naoto. I thought I heard that you were around. Who's the guy with you. Are you friends or something?
Unit_Spectre
*he knocks on the door* Mr. Shirogane. I got something for you.
AfterM
Wait a second...
AfterM
*The stranger snaps his fingers...*
Shirogane_Naoto
[Naoto looks at Yu.] Ah, Narukami. Good to see you again. And this young man here has simply come for advice. [She motions for Yu to take a seat before walking up to the door and opening it.] Something for me? ‘Except I don’t remember ordering anything...’
AfterM
*It seems as though the stranger has suffered a massive headache for 3 seconds, and then he stops and looks up.*
Yu-Narukami
Yu takes a seat at the nearest chair. He looks at the stranger with an indifferent gaze as he examines him. Something seems off about him but he can't quite place it. So, giving advice out? Not a bad way to start here and someone like you can probably help people out a lot even with just your thoughts.
Unit_Spectre
*he hands Naoto a package* It's a gift that I made.
Shirogane_Naoto
Well, it’s certainly a much more professional job than simply fighting. Hopefully I can help a few people in town. [She turns back to the stranger.] Is everything alright? Can you still answer the questions I asked you earlier?
AfterM
The Investigation Team are... *The stranger abruptly snaps out of his daze.*
Shirogane_Naoto
OOC: ironically i havent given out any advice yet What about the Investigation Team? Are you ok?
AfterM
Anyway, I'm having trouble with my powers. Perhaps you coincidentally have experience with this sort of thing.
Shirogane_Naoto
Not necessarily. But maybe you could describe what your powers do? [Naoto grabs a pen and paper, and listens attentively.]
AfterM
*A slight smirk spreads over his face.* Well, basically, an unknown entity, who refer to themselves as their User, rises out of the User's body. Then, you are able to cast many strange powers.
AfterM
It's almost like magic... but I suppose you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
Pancake_Knight
A wibbly wobbly sound is heard at the door as somebody shouts out Ummm hello! Is this the place where you get help? I could use some help!
Yu-Narukami
Yu perks up with curiosity at the mention of powers. He grows weary of the individual's mention of such a thing so openly. Could he mean the power of Persona? If so, then how did he even obtain a Persona in the first place. There were others who had gained the power before arriving here but even then he was unsure of how they got their powers. This was different though, this person mentioned having trouble controlling them. Something odd to him as the others who had arrived seemed to have no trouble with this via most methods besides the obvious elephant in the room, evokers. So many questions and not enough answers. He decided to inquire about this. So, powers...I'll let Naoto handle this because this is their business but I know a thing or two about strange powers as well.
Shirogane_Naoto
I already know that. I was referring to the “strange powers” that you wield. As in, any specific deviations in your powers that make you different from the notm?
(edited by Shirogane_Naoto)
Shirogane_Naoto
[Naoto opens the door and sees PK.] Oh... uh, come in and sit down if you’re capable of doing so.
Shirogane_Naoto
[Naoto seems confused by the stranger’s question.] I’m referring to your powers? In particular?
Pancake_Knight
PK waves and it's very... unatural to say the least, it appears that he has no bones and moves like one of those old fashioned Disney cartoons, making large steps with bendy legs and having a very hard time doing, well, anything Hello! I don't believe we've met! Pancake_Knight at your service! PK then tries to bow but instead flops over into a blob of meat, kinda like an elastic band, if an elastic band could talk
Tamaki_Uchida
A young woman knocks on the door. Without even waiting a moment, she walks in with a smile. "Hello! I heard you were offering advi-" Seeing the gathered individuals, she laughs awkwardly and steps back. "Oh, my bad! I see you're already preoccupied."
Shirogane_Naoto
I-It’s good to meet you as well, Pancake_Knight. I’m Naoto Shirogane and um, should I call an ambulance for you? [Naoto looks genuinely concerned at PK’s physical state.]
Yu-Narukami
Yu just stares at PK for a while. He's unsure how his friend got this way but he gets up from his chair and tries to help the pancaked pancake knight sit down. PK? How did you even get like this? What happened? Is this from eating too many pancakes?
Shirogane_Naoto
[Naoto looks at Tamaki.] Oh, don’t worry! Come in, there are enough seats! OOC: im crying pk what happened to u
Pancake_Knight
Um! I don't think that would help! I was looking for advice with this and so I came to you! Eventually with some help from Yu, PK manages to untangle himself from himself and sits down somewhat normally? Ah! Thank you Yu! To answer your question I have no idea! I just woke up like this! Now I have no bones and I am incredibly bendy! Look! PK then grabs his arm and ties it like a knot around the leg of a chair, he then pulls on it and plays it like a string on a guitar, unfortunately PK doesn't make a good noise, it sounds like a dying whale, somebody should tune that
AfterM
*It feels as though someone's presence has left the room. It's as if you've made responses to no one for your last few words...*
Shirogane_Naoto
Er... I don’t think I have any solid help for you, PK. [Naoto looks directly at the fourth wall. “Maybe change your profile pic?”]
Shirogane_Naoto
OOC: its ok afterm u can just say you deleted ur post
Tamaki_Uchida
"I'm glad I'm not intruding then!" Tamaki quickly walks over to sit down. "Sorry in advance, you see I have a bit of a unique problem."
Shirogane_Naoto
A unique problem you say? Can you go into more detail about that? ’Hopefully this won’t be anything too odd.’
Pancake_Knight
[The person behind the fourth wall looks at Naoto and stares in confusion] Change it? Are you crazy? This is perfection! Well! I suppose if you can't help ill be taking my leave! Thank you anyways! PK then plops himself up and begins to roll out of the office, back to wherever I supp- damn! Watch out PK! That's the road! Oh well, I'm sure he'll be fine
Shirogane_Naoto
[Stay safe, PK! Good luck on your journey, or something.]
Tamaki_Uchida
"Well... you see... I'm a silent protagonist. Well I was, and the few lines I did get are hardly anything. So I need assistance in finding a personality."
Shirogane_Naoto
A personality? Well, I would think that the best place to start is to think about the kind of person you would want to be. What kinds of goals do you have in life, if any?
Tamaki_Uchida
"I want to kill God. All my other fellow protagonists got to do it but...."
Shirogane_Naoto
Well, what gods are around here at the moment? You could always try to take down one of those “godmodder” folks but that seems like mind of a stretch. [Naoto furrows her eyebrow in thought. What gods were around here anyways?]
(edited by Shirogane_Naoto)
Tamaki_Uchida
"Something tells me it would be easier to kill an actual God than a Godmodder...."
Shirogane_Naoto
I suppose you’re right... They apparently don’t have the brain capacity to die, or so I’ve heard.
Shirogane_Naoto
OOC: gonna sleep, its 3 am and i am beginning to feel the effects of my poor decisions lol night yall
Tamaki_Uchida
"Still, maybe you make a good point. Got it! I'll work on more realistic goals, use that in my adventure to find a personality... and THEN I'll slay God!"
Shirogane_Naoto
Sounds like a good plan, I’m glad I was of help. OOC: im a fucking liar
