Rokinssia
In Sickness and Despair pt.6
Looking around Dune sees Eito and walks up to him "Hey Eito, how're you?" Dune asked calmly "Don't worry, I won't ask you to go with me to that weird-ass place today." Dune says Dune looks around hoping he'll see that strange person "I'm looking for that stranger person from yesterday." Dune says "I have a slight lead" Dune chuckles quietly
Eito
Gimme a minute, I need to do something real quick.
Rokinssia

Eito
"I'm just fine." "As for the other guy, bless me with your knowledge." Eito sighs.
Rokinssia
"Back in the studio, he had black hair, he looked taller than us and his voice was deep, going off that. We can rule out most people in school. But he has to be in town." Dune sighs well putting his hand to the back of his head "I'm sorry, for dragging you into all of this, I shouldn't take action like that." Dune seems to feel trust towards Leo
Eito
"I fucking warned you, but at this point i'm stuck with you, so I have to follow." Eito seems nonchalant about the situation as he brings out a soda can from his bag and throws one to Dune.
Rokinssia
Dune grabs it recognizing it as the same brand from Dune's first day "Thanks," Dune says smiling as he opens the soda and chugs it down. A strange voice rings inside Dune and Eito's heads. Dunes Voice: I am thou, thou art I. Thou hast obtained the blessing of the magician arcana. Eitos Voice: I am thou, thou art I. Thou hast obtained the blessing of the fool arcana. Dune decides to not question the creepy voice he heard.
Eito
Eito stops drinking his soda for a moment before shrugging and continuing. "So, what now?" "Wanna go check the lead out or should we relax for today?" "I heard a new movie came out at the cinema." Eito then goes back to silently sipping soda.
Rokinssia
"Yeah, let's take the day off..." Dune smiles calmly as he looks around "This is like the Ramen Shop, I spent all my time focused on that world that... I didn't explore shit about this town..." Dune sighs in disappointment "I guess you're my guide. Again, sorry." Dune scratches the back of his neck and gets ready for an insanely long walk.
Eito
"You need a fucking hobby, my dude." Eito crushes his empty can and throws it in a trashcan. "Where do you want to go?"
Rokinssia
Dune thinks about his choices, he only really has three hobbies that are small, acting, art and gaming. "I say we go to the... Arcade." Dune says wanting to further his gaming skills more. Dune feels prepared and excited OOC: Good thing Dune doesn't have the Akechi thing.
Eito
I'm afraid I fail to realize what the Akechi thing is. "The Arcade, it is!" Eito raises his voice and puts one foot on a bench, pointing towards the sky dramatically. He holds the pose.
Rokinssia
Social link ranks up the waazoo Dune instantly bursts into laughter "Yeah... Hahahaha the arcade.." Dune laughs and laughs as he soon stops "Alright heh let's get going."
Eito
"Yeah, okay." Eito quickly puts his foot down on the pavement and lets his arm drop as he starts walking. "Prepare to get fucking trashed." Eito chuckles.
Rokinssia
"You think you can beat me at Road Brawl 3?" Dune smirks as he quickly follows behind "Well there is a clear meta in that game..." Dune thinks about things very carefully, almost like planning a heist.
Eito
"I've been playing that game since I was 5!" "You don't have a chance!" Eito seems pumped as he slightly speeds up.
Rokinssia
Dune speeds up as well until they reach the arcade "Well here we are." Dune says basically jumping up and down Dune and Eito spend time at the arcade, they are nearly even with Eito having just a few more wins then Dune in the games Eventually the two leave the arcade "Damn you're good." Dune says breathing heavily. Thanking Eito for the day.
Morikazu-Matsushita
A person in a black hoodie pauses just outside the arcade, noticing a certain pair leave. They mutter to themselves and duck inside, going straight to one of the machines.
Eito
"Told you, you can't beat the master." Eito slowly walks up to Dune, nearly closes his eyes and fakes an old sounding voice as he puts a hand on his companion's head. "But do not be worried, my student, you may yet learn." Noticing the guy in the hoodie, Eito briefly turns to look at him, making note to tell Dune soon.

Rokinssia
Dune looks at that person "Hey Eito, that looks like our guy, the you know who, guy." Dune says in a slight panic. Looking away and at his friend.
Eito
"He's just a guy in a hoodie, from what I saw." "Though from his staring at us and then booking it inside doesn't leave much room for other suspects." Eito brings out his glasses from a pocket, puts them on and starts walking bqck inside. "Let's investigate.
Rokinssia
"Sure thing, how should we go about this?" Dune whispers to Eito, curiously "Do we go all in and start digging into him?" Dune whispers again.
Morikazu-Matsushita
Inside, the person fishes for a coin in his pocket and puts it into the machine of a nearby game. One of those old space shooter games. If he notices the two, he doesn't show it.
Eito
Eito walks in, still whispering to Dune. "Be casual, go play some games around him, surround him slowly." He re-adjusts his glasses. "Then, give him a couple questions." "Easy."
Rokinssia
Dune sits near the suspect at a racing game, pops a coin in the game and starts playing, Calmly Dune signals to Eito, to play a game, Dune looks around after he's done the racing game, pretending to be looking for another one as he looks over the stranger. Calmly speaking "Hey, soon could I give that game a shot?"
Morikazu-Matsushita
Huh? He looks up, rather startled by that, but quickly composes himself. His last life is taken by a bullet from an enemy onscreen. Those shots are annoying... S-sure, go ahead. He steps off to the side and looks around, pulling down his hood. Sharp blue eyes are a notable feature, as well as his age: about in high school, probably a second- or third-year.
Eito
Eito walks to the stranger's other side and starts playing a shooting game,narrowly avoiding death multiple times due to him watching the guy.

Rokinssia
"Thanks," Dune says signaling Eito to make a move on him as Dune pops a coin into the machine and almost intentionally sucks losing all his lives and sighing "Sh'm'ups were never my thing,"
Morikazu-Matsushita
Yeah, they're pretty frustrating sometimes. Noticing Eito, he takes a step back, but tries to seem casual about it.
Eito
Eito nods as he lets an alien dinosaur hybrid kill him for the last time before walking to Morikazu confidently. "Hey dude, are you per chance, going to [INSERT HIGH SCHOOL NAME]?"
Morikazu-Matsushita
Morikazu looks straight at Eito, as if sizing him up. After a moment, he responds. Yeah, I do. I kinda recognize ya from there. I don't think we got the same classes, though.
Rokinssia
Dune gets up "Now that you mention it, he looks like a third year..." Dune says calmly "May we ask you some questions about the recent events in the school?" Dune asks
Eito
"I believe we don't." Eito takes the chance to look at Morikazu, memorizing every detail he could. "Actually, you do seem pretty familiar..." Eito shrugs. "Well, me and my friend here did want to ask you a couple questions."
(edited by Eito)
Morikazu-Matsushita
Well... sure, why not? He shrugs, visibly relaxing. The name's Morikazu Matsushita, by the way. He then nods at Dune. Shoot.
Rokinssia
"I'm quite sure you heard about the stir with the student council president, Niko Akadio." Dune sighs "Do you know anything about that, and what caused him to become hospitalized?" Dune asks "We should go somewhere, less booming..." Dune says as he feels people looking at him, Eito and Morikazu.
Eito
"True, all this noise is getting annoying when you're not focused on a game." Eito lowers his glasses a bit as he looks at Morikazu. "I think we should go outside."
Morikazu-Matsushita
Yeah, that's probably best. Morikazu leads the way out of the arcade, then speaks up again. The most I know is what the rumors say. Can't always trust 'em, though.
Rokinssia
"Alright, it's just he's my brother and all." Dune sighs as he pulls out his phone. "One more question." Dune shows the red eye app on his phone "Did this appear on your cell-phone one day out of the blue?" Dune asked switching his tone to a serious one.
Eito
Eito gives Dune a serious look as he subtly walks behind Morikazu, cutting him off. "Yeah, we'd really like to know." "We can't be the only ones."
Rokinssia
"We already have proof..." Dune says looking at Morikazu with a serious glare, "So spill, you have a Persona, don't you."
Morikazu-Matsushita
Morikazu sighs. You got me. I figured I wasn't the only one after watching you guys. So, what about it?
Rokinssia
"How the hell did you find the key words to enter my brother's domain?" Dune seems razor sharp to all detail right now, he seems also worried for his brother "And what the hell do you have to do with my brother!?"
Morikazu-Matsushita
It ain't anything special. It's almost how silly how simple it is. Morikazu pauses for a moment, then shrugs. I literally just listened to you guys, and got the keywords from that. I don't know much about Palaces, but I know you need certain words to get into them.
Eito
Eito steps back, his eyes widening before narrowing again, a frown on his face. "You fucking spied on us!"
(edited by Eito)
Morikazu-Matsushita
Oh, you wanna know my reason? That's simple too. He pulls out his phone, and points it at the two. I don't know much about Palaces, but I do know they have Shadows and treasure. And Shadows mean money and... experience, so to speak. Loup-Garou doesn't get stronger from the gym, after all. ...And pretty much, dude. But it worked out in the end.
(edited by Morikazu-Matsushita)
Rokinssia
"So that's your Persona's name..." Dune says "But all you want is money and experience?!?" Dune gets really angry "Listen, if you help us save my brother... I can pay you for your efforts." Dune sighs with an angry expression on his face.
Morikazu-Matsushita
Wait, so you're... trying to save the Shadow of that place? Something clicks in Morikazu's mind, and he curses and pulls his hood over his head. So you're saying you can save a person by saving their Shadow...? If I had known that, I... He sighs and averts his gaze. Sorry, I guess. Had no idea what was going on at all. I guess I could stick around to help, if ya don't mind.
Rokinssia
"It's a hunch," Dune says "I don't want a repeat of last year." Dune sighs "I'm sorry Eito, but wanna go to that place, I think he needs it." Dune looks apologetic for this.
Eito
"And just when I thought I could relax for a day." Eito cracks his neck and starts walking ovet to an alley. "Come on."
Rokinssia
Dune follows as he enters the keywords as the three appear back at the acting studio, "Alright with this safe room, the nav allows us to quickie there." Dune hits a button as the three get transported to a room on the 3rd floor. "I believe the CEO office is near, let's go." Dune seemed fully confident about this.
Quintus_Geminus
In the distance a third year student watches the exchange before walking away with his school bag. He would wear a calm and collected face but scowl as he walked away. "Looks like more work for me..."
Morikazu-Matsushita
Adjusting the tattered cape of his thief outfit, Morikazu nods, ready to follow. Let's go. The three of us should be able to do this easily!
Rokinssia
Dune nods opening the door and climbing the nearby ladder, all that's in the room is a bright red door "This is it guys, let's go." Dune moves close to the door. "Mori, what do you focus on?" Dune asks "Like your Persona, ability wise?"
Eito
Hopping up and down, Eito pats down his long black coat and started walking towards the exit. "We fucking got this." Upon reaching the door, Eito stops. "I'm going out first. If you hear any warnings or girly screams, please come rescue me."
Rokinssia
"No, we go in as a team," Dune stops Eito "We'd have a disadvantage."
Morikazu-Matsushita
My Persona? He's got darkness and physical attacks. I do more damage with the latter, though. Oh, and if it makes any difference, he's of the "Devil Arcana" or somethin' like that. He readies a metal bat and prepares to head in.
(edited by Morikazu-Matsushita)
Rokinssia
"Alright, let's go..." Dune opens the door to see the fake Niko standing there, his face covered in blood though, "So, you've come here to kill me eh?!" Niko speaks "No we want to save you," Dune replies. "SAVE!? Hah I'll die to make the other me suffer!" The fake Niko starts changing shape.
Eito
"We need a forward scout and since I appear to be the only one here to consistently move ahead before everyone, I assumed it'd be better but in the end, you're the boss." With Morikazu's Persona explained, Eito nods. "Well, if we're sharing abilities, mine can do a weak physical attack and a similarly weak darkness one, but I have a simple healing spell, so I can provide support." Facing the transforming Niko, Eito unsheathes his knife, one much larger than before. "I don't like the look of this." I think it'd be nice if we solidified positions in the team. Dune as the leader, me as the strategist and Mori as lead damage dealer. This good?
(edited by Eito)
Morikazu-Matsushita
Well, here we go! Guess the boss changes shape too! He grips his mask and waits for the cue to move.
Rokinssia
Yeah that's good Eventually the fake Niko turns into what appears to be a camera with microphones as hands and no legs. "Be ready... Here comes!" Dune says ready to fight,
Eito
"Now THAT is weird!" Eito grins as he steps back to examine Niko's form, searching for weaknesses. "Distract him for me, will ya?"
Morikazu-Matsushita
Gimme a boost, Loup-Garou! Tarukaja! He rips off his mask, and a wolf-man appears behind him, showering Morikazu in a orange-red light.
(edited by Morikazu-Matsushita)
Rokinssia
"Jack Frost!" Dune yells tearing his mask off as Jack frost uses Bufu on Niko's form of which then takes a picture of Marikazu with a blindingly bright flash on.
Eito
So, do I find a weakness or not?
Rokinssia
I think Niko's weakness would be more physical, he has such a heart that any physical blow would basically kill him
Eito
Let's not do that. So can I roleplay finding that out and giving a warning?
Rokinssia
k
Morikazu-Matsushita
Ow, okay, that's just- Throw some shade on 'im! Eiha! Somewhat blinded, Morikazu commands the wolf to send out a burst of pure shadow.
Rokinssia
The Eiha, due to being partially blind, some of the stray shadow rushes to Dune who quickly dodges "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE AIMING!" Dune yells as most of it hits Niko "Heracles!" Dune says ripping off his mask "Zio!" Snaps Dune as lighting strikes Shadow Niko.
Eito
"Alright guys, look at his structure!" Eito points to multiple weak points in the camera. "We could probably take him out with a couple Physical attacks but whether "Take him out" means 'Defeat him' or 'Kill him', I don't know." "Let's not take the risk." Eito sighs and moves forward once again, pointing at Niko. "Odysseus, send an Eiha his way!" Eito rips off his mask as a tall figure completely encased in hoplite armor except for his face, which is drenched in shadow, appears behind him and follows the command.

Rokinssia
Shadow Niko responds by talking "He didn't care for his thoughts," "He didn't want to admit me." "That's why I made him sick..." Shadow Niko starts laughing as Dune becomes furious as he runs over, jumps up and punches the Camera lens
Morikazu-Matsushita
Sorry! He rubs his eyes in an attempt to clear his vision. Physical, eh? Lemme show ya the training I put in! Loup-Garou, Giant Slice! With a howl, the wolf leaps forward, swinging its claws at the Shadow.
Rokinssia
With the two physical strikes, the camera falls down as Dune signals the two others "Let's do this!" Dune says rushing forward for an all-out attack.
Morikazu-Matsushita
On it! Letting Loup-Garou vanish, Morikazu rushes forward to join Dune in the assault.
Eito
"Fine." Eito walks a few steps behind him before running forward to attack. Now, what would our all out attack quotes be?
Rokinssia
After a heavy assault Niko takes his 'normal' shape "You WANT me to die, don't you!?" "You WANT me to leave, don't you!?" "you WANT me to kill your brother, don't you!?" Shadow Niko continues, "Shut up," Dune says "Make yourself live, let yourself, leave the hospital." Dune sighs as he starts walking "Let's go."
Rokinssia
I was thinking Dune's is something like Had Enough Yet?
Morikazu-Matsushita
Morikazu nods, and follows Dune, slinging his bat over his shoulder. That was almost too easy... Ya sure your brother will be okay?
Eito
"What, are we leaving him to wallow in his own misery?" "Because i'm totally fine with that." Eito grins, bows at Niko and turns around, following Dune. Eito's would probably be something like 'Didn't Expect That, Didja?'
Rokinssia
"Well we gotta wait and see, but I'm confident he'll live." "I'm sorry for being an ass to you earlier." Dune says feeling regret.
Morikazu-Matsushita
Morikazu gives Dune a pat on the shoulder. Don't worry about it. I kinda deserved that, to be honest. He looks at the hall ahead. Let's go home now, 'kay?
Eito
"Let's." Eito walks ahead confidently. Hold up. Since we defeated him, shouldn't we be running for our lives due to this place's imminent destruction?
Rokinssia
"Okay," A weird voice rings in Dune's and Mori's head Dune's voice: I am thou, thou art I. Thou hast obtained the blessing of the Devil Arcana. Mori's voice: I am thou, thou art I. Thou hast obtained the blessing of the Fool Arcana. Eventually all the people are back to the real world in the alley "HELL YEAH!" Dune yells excitedly.
Rokinssia
That happens once the treasure is stolen, I think, the treasure of the palace wasn't stolen.
Morikazu-Matsushita
Morikazu shakes his head at the voice, then shrugs. Must be tired enough to be hearin' things... Well, see ya guys. Gotta get home and stuff. With a wave and a small smile, he walks off.
Rokinssia
4/16 Dune is awaiting Niko's recovery. Dune decides to message Morikazu "Hey Matsushita-kun. Wanna hang out today?" Dune sends the message.
Eito
Since it's Mori's time to shine, I gotta fuckin' go. See y'all later.
Rokinssia
See ya in pt. 7
Morikazu-Matsushita
"Sure, where do you want to go?" The response is slightly late, but still not too delayed.
Rokinssia
Dune messages back almost instantly "There's a Beef Bowl place around here, heard something about a rainy day challenge and, well Rain is profuse." Rain is heard loud "Something carried from the fog town of Inaba," Dune messages afterward.
Morikazu-Matsushita
"Beef bowl? I tried that once, harder than it looks. Sounds fun, though! I'll meet you there soon."
Rokinssia
Okay, part 7 will continue on the 20th in mountain standard. Sorry for delaying it so much, but I have family things and school
Rokinssia
We'll continue later, thanks for joining though
Rokinssia
Okay so not much family stuff is going down. So i'll be able to make pt. 7 today
Eito
Goddamnit man, stop jerking us around. Not like I was paying attention anyway but if I was i'd be jerked around. BTW, what time are you making it?
