GYM [real name tba]
Gym is open again for business. Please enjoy our training gear and drink fountain.
No offense but... you're the owner of the Gym?
*running in the 90s*
Nobody was getting in on the gym scene, so yeah I bought a place. And it's just more motivation to get back in shape...round is a shape right?
So this is where you work at, huh?
*waves to Kaz from behind the drink counter*

Yo! Welcome!
He knows how to run businesses
Never took business courses, but I'm sure I'll be fine.
*Waves back at him*
Any regulars yet?
It's a learning experience
Well it's only day 2, but most of the main crew was here yesterday, so who know's I might get a regular today!

*smiles as he finishes cleaning the counter*
I see...
*Smiles*
Well I started my own business yesterday, but I'll be open another time, I'm my own boss after all! *He laughs before staring at him*
Anyway, how much is it?
*walks in*

Is a gym like coliseum matches?
*Teleports in behind Klib*
Your guard is open!
Hey Sparky!
*Sighs*
And...hello...Lux.
Ah Mr Lux. Its a pleasure.

*bows*
What's wrong Kazuya? Still, have scars from before?
*Even with the mask you can tell there's a smirk on his face*
First week is free, after that 1000 yen a visit. Not much, but Mementos keeps it running. And it can be Lightning, I have a ring inside and a large yard out back.

*responds to the teleport by trying to sweep Lux's legs as I turn around*

And you're cheating!
Uh, a pleasure as well Ms. Farron.
*Wanders in, talking to self under breath*
Is this a place where I can get stronger? I seriously need to train more... Oh, there's some people here already.
*Gets sweeped put pulls Kalib down with him*
Ha, I'm the master when it comes to tripping!
*Kazuya just glares at Lux while clenching his fists*
You might want to shut up, yo coward.
*gets back up and dusts himself off*

I didn't think I'd get the hit in without repercussion! Ahaha!
*turns*

Ah Mr Delta. How are you?
*Looks up at Lightning with mild surprise.*

Oh, Lightning. Hello. I'm doing... I'm doing as well as I can right now. How about yourself?

*His eyes kind of shift around during the pause in speech, but he returns to looking Lightning in the eyes when he resumes.*
Geeze, Kazuya, hostile much. Sorry, we can't all be violent killing machines.
*walks out from behind the counter*

Hey Delta! Welcome!
*nods and steps closer*

I'm okay. Recovering still from last being in the Metaverse. Friend, are you okay? You seem...distracted.
Delta, huh? You seem to give off a strange reading.
Mr Lux, how are you?
Oh, do I? Guess it's hard to get things past you, huh? There's been some... issues I guess, that I've been trying to work out. I came here to get my mind off of them for awhile....

Oh, hey Klib. I guess you work here since you were behind the counter.
*Kazuya focuses on calming down*
I might be a "Violent killing machine", but I don't kill without a really good reason.
*Smirks at him*
And all I want now is to land a punch to that annoying face of your...although...not right now, I'm not feeling it today!
*Kazuya just laughs it off*
How long can you run, Klib?
@LuxTenebris
Strange? I think your sensors might be off or something. I'm about as normal and plain as it gets really... *Under his breath* Most of the time...
Yep! And if you have anything to talk about you can let us know. We're here for you.

*walks away and begins inspecting gym equipment*
@-LightningFarron-
I've been good I suppose, guess I'm starting to realize just how strange this place is though. I've been trying to sca-I mean, get a read on a bunch of things lately.
Not sure Hifumi. Never really measured. I'd have to imagine somewhere on the low end.
Are you looking to lose weight? Exercise is almost meaningless in weight loss.
Is it? Huh. I'll be damned. And not strictly weight loss, I also aim to get stronger.
I don't even know why I'm here, can I even get stronger...because of course, I'm already pretty strong.
No other reason than that...
I can understand that Delta. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you to help.

@LuxTenebris
Reading up about this world? I will admit I have been doing so as well. Labrys and her associates have been providing me with reading material. It was recommended I go to the Library as well.
You can grown stronger Lux. Also exercising your servos without your limiters couldn't hurt.
Unit 3-I mean, uh, Labrys told you that, huh. Uh, could you do me a favor and not tell her you saw me.
Right, will do Lightning...

*Finds a punching bag and goes to work. Practicing the form of various punches and kicks. The bag is taking a lot of punishment, but despite the force his blows seem to be doing, the chain never breaks.*
Of course it is. While you're overweight your body will not tone. If your goal is weight loss, cutting 500 calories a day alone would lose a pound a week without moving any more than before. In contrast, exercise loses you that much in an hour. Seven hours a week of exercise or eating a muffin less per day?
Huh. Is this one of those gyms and juice bars that used to be all the rage?
That's actually a simple concept. I appreciate the information!
*nods*

Of course Lux. If you ever need my assistance please call on me.
*shouts at Migrant*

Welcome in! And yes, yes it is.
Hey everyone how's it going?
Hey Tatsu!
I'm doing fine, you?

*finishes checking the boxing ring for signs of wear and tear*
Tatsu are you following me? This is the second time you've shown up where I am.
@imtherealklib The easiest first step is to only drink water henceforth. At best a drink is 100 calories per 500ml (around a water bottle) while the average man should drink 2.5L-3L a day. If you can manage even this, you would lose a pounr a week (a pound is commonly cited as 3500 calories).

My diet is 1200-1300 calories a day.
No Mig I'm just hanging around where people gather. What else is there to do here?
Geez Mig, aren't you being a little paranoid?
@HifumiTogo I'll definitely give it a try.

@Tatsuya, there's a ring here for sparring.
Nah, it was more a joke than anything.
Oh okay that makes sense. I could see Hazama saying it though.
May I receive clarification @imtherealklib? In sparring, no use of powers, correct?
Not inside...granted I broke that rule yesterday...But out back you can go wild...I'll take care of damages out there.
*With a resounding thud, the bag is struck one final time. He moves both fists to his sides before releasing a breath. The bag looks like it could have fallen off of a mountain with how banged up it is.*
Alright...
I'll take care of indoor damages. Actually take this *hands Klib a phone number written down on paper* It's those weirdos I called to fix Leblanc a while back. Ya know the cleaning/repair gods?
*pockets the paper*

Sweet! Thanks! Then sure go wild inside or outside!
*shows up on moped and brings in crates of energy and sports drinks*

Restock order for vending machines. Oh and @Tatsuya, you mean me and the Kirijo Group?
Delivery kid out sick?

*signs for the order*

Thanks.
*Walks in*

*Notices the actual gym stuff*

Om second thought i'm walking back out.
I think Labrys is the delivery kid.

Since Leblanc is kinda.... closed.
*Walks over to Klib*

Did I hear something about a sparring ring?
Oh. That sucks...like a lot....

*begins stocking the vending machine with a sad expression*
Huh!?

*perks up as he finishes loading the stock*

Yeah, there's the ring inside, and the yard outside.
*comes in with more crates, this time protean bars*

I can handle these Klib.

*begins stocking then with lightning speed*
Huh, well then. Delta, were you looking for a partner?

*cracks knuckles*
*finishes and stands up*

Okay. Thank you for using our services.

*bows and leaves, getting on moped and speeding away*
Only if you're prepared to lose. I'm not one for holding back.

*He give Klib a grin to show he's just messing with him a bit.*

With or without Personas? I'm fine with either, but it's been ages since I got to really get my hands dirty.
*Powering back on*
Huh, I fell asleep, where am I?
With, we can take the arena out back. I figure we'll need the room.

*the arena in the back is a large dirt lot, approximately 2 acres of land*

It's a good chunk of space for the price.
*walks in leaning on his staff*
Um... Hi, guys.
Oh, hey Lux...
*turns to see Gamma*

Eh? You okay dude?
You were there. It... Yesterday was hard, in many ways.
Nice, nice... Well then Klib, may the better fighter win. Loser pays for the after spar meal.

*Goes a good distance away from Klib and bows like a proper martial artist. A persona mask appear on his face, but he does nothing with it.*

Come at me with your best and I'll return the favor!
*Walks back into the gym*

Just decided that exercise wasn't as bad as freezing in Norway.
You're right it was tough Gamma...I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something new.

*turns back to Delta and bows*

Let's do this!

*brandishing his spear, Kalib dashes forward*
Oh, hey wo...
I guess I can't call you that anymore, huh?
Huh, so Klib and that Delta guy are fighting.
yeah, they are... No other real way to become stronger right?
You just... Keep fighting.
@Bgammax

You can call me it one more time ...

I actually grew to like that nick name.
Well there other ways. Research can be quite a a way to get stronger for Magi and such. But for people us no not really anything else.

OOC: Also I'm playing SMT Imagine so I'll be in and out right now.
people like*
OOC: Can I join, what level are you at?
*With a short shout, he rushes forward to meet Klib. Anticipating a stab, he stops right before he'd be in range and plants his feet firmly. Waiting for the attack, he'd pivot on his right foot (the one in front) to dodge before aiming a round house kick at Klibs head*
I mean... there's other ways to become stronger.

Though fighting is probably the most direct way.

It's kinda... ironic.... when you think about it.
*going in to hit Delta in the chest with the blunt end of the spear, Kalib is blindsided by the counterattack and is sent flying back a few feet and knocking the spear away*

Huh? Well, I don't need that anyway.

*gets back up and enters a defensive stance*
No... I really can't, Mishimans...
That was something I'd call a monster...
You're better than that now.
@Bgammax

*Pointedly looks at his feet*

Thank you ...

Heh I don't really know what to say for once.
So it comes down to a battle of fists? This is something I've need for a long time.

*Once more, he rushes at Klib with a plan of attack already formed. Having just been hit with a counter, now would be the time one would focus just on blocking. Raising his right fist, he aims it at Klibs face, predicting a block. With his attention on the face shot, Klib would fail to realize that he was really going for a punch to the stomach with his left.*

(The second I'm wrong about something feel free to punish me hard.)
Just.... Don't...

How much do you remember. about yesterday?
So what are you fighting for Delta? What reason do you take up arms. A sparring match between comrades is a good way to get things off your chest and grow as a person.

*he drops to avoid the punch to the face and catches Delta's fist right before it connects*

You're thinking. That's good! Keep it up!
*Clenches hands*

*Continues to avoid looking at Bgammax*

I only remember the beginning parts of the palace.

The later parts are a complete blur.
Probably for the best. We all did things we probably regretted in the morning after we ran into Gamma.
I don't care how the memories would make me feel ...

I just want to have them to know what I did.
You tried to kill all of us.

A few times.

Nearly killed that one mage girl.
Personally. I'm glad....
Some crap went down that I'd rather no one remember.
Tch. Not bad.

*Brings his right knee up, intending to have it impact Klibs face or create some distance between the two.*

The reason why I fight? Lately I've been wondering that myself. At first it was just to stay safe, but now...
C'mon, Kalib, you can do it! You too Delta! *He cheers them on with a big smile on his face*
Tell me about it.

Too many friendships put on the rocks...
*Kalib jumps back*

Well I don't plan on falling until we find your resolve. I want to help everyone find something to fight for.

Leonidas! Spartan Roar! *Kalib's ATK/SPD/DEF up*
*Continues to gaze at the floor*

*Face burns with shame*

I wonder why you all still haven't killed me yet ...

Of course, friends... Yeah... Well, you guys have fun..
*walks out of the gym*
*He chuckles a bit*

We'll just have to see about that won't we? Ramses, Heat Riser me!

*The Pharaoh materializes behind him and bestows a temporary aura of red, blue and green on Delta.*

There's been a lot of things going through my mind lately. Think you can handle them all?
I've been wondering the same thing strange shadow man, in regards to myself that is.
*upon hearing Lux*
Don't let me hear you say that again...
I'm too exhausted to do anything about it right now.
Don't worry about it, these guys couldn't kill me even if they wanted to.
Well because you, Wolf Boy are too good of a friend and maid. While you, edgy void boy, I still believe you can end up siding with us in the end.
And its not like I'd let them. No matter how bad it is.
Of course I can! Now, let's go!

*rushes forward and feigns a right hook to go for a left shot to the gut*
Mao
How goes the gym?
*Tears up at Migrants words*

Thank you for still thinking of me as a friend.
Bah, if I started hating everyone who got in the way of a heist I'd only be friends with Tatsu and Kaz at this point.
*Before Klib is close enough, Ramses grabs Delta and tosses him into the air. When he reaches the apex of his air time, Ramses casts Ziodyne on him. The lightning collects into his right leg as he falls towards the ground.*

Here's a Delta original! Lightning Dive!

*As with the fight with Tatsuya, his leg follows through with an electrified ax kick. If blocked, the electricity would go through Klib; if dodged, about 12% of the electricity would arc after him in a dodable pattern.*
Hey I got in the way to Mig. I mean not till the end but Joker was the one that wanted to keep going.
I'm sorry what?!

*goes to block the kick and is tossed back at the power of it*

Huh.. I haven't seen that before! Cool!! Then I'll give you a taste of our original move. Come, Leonidas! Spartan Rain!

*the spartan begins launching a volley of spears towards Delta as Kalib uses the cover to close the gap and catch him off guard*
Actually Joker was pretty stand offish come to think of it. Not sure what that at one's deal is but I believe I like the one we almost never see better.
Can you people do nothing without magic? Maybe I should...
oh, please do.. That would be funny.
Hey I know you seem to hate magic Lux but if your gonna fight along side us get used to it.
Heh, Persona!
Null!
*A void surrounds the arena, canceling out all magic within*
*He smirks at Gamma* Oh from you that's funny. I mean I actually wanna get better at normal fighting.. But since you got Wisp you've been using just as much magic as any other Persona use yeah?
OOC: Also does that cancel resists to?
Hello Lux, I'm a swordmaster, It's nice to meet you!
*Kazuya smiles at him*
I can't even use magic without my COMP
*sighs*
If you want to start something Tatsuya today's not the day.
And I've got you to thank for that.
All of us are magic hoes.
OOC: What do you mean?
Mao
@imtherealklib can I set up a bar in here, I'll pay rent, and you can probably get more customers. Sounds like a good deal right?
No no I don't want to start something. That's something you don't seem to get Gamma I actually kinda like ya. Your pretty good at keeping calm in a tough spot. And I can respect that. Still though I'll leave ya alone if you don't wanna make conversation.
*shouts out to Mao*

Sure, I haven't even touched the upstairs, so you could reno that for sure.
OOC: I mean does Lux's null magic as render say null or drain or whatever non functional.
*Landing on his feet from the recoil, the volley of spears bring a look of slight concern to his face. Ramses takes point and deflects most of them with his staff, taking a few hits to protect Delta. Having lost sight of Klib, Delta takes a defensive stance and waits for the inevitable approach. He keeps his feet planted on the ground, but with enough bounce to maneuver out of the way if needed.*

That's quite the skill, but I've got more techniques than the Lightning Dive in my arsenal.
Mao
Sounds good man, I'll set up right away!
*Notices the tension between Tatsuya and Bgammax*

Did I miss something while I was in crazed wolf mode?
(Oh no, I missed the magic null post. Well there goes the other techniques I was going to pull out)
Umm quite a bit Mishi yes.
Depends on how you count a large fight in which your BELOVED leader felt the need to literally stab me in the back.
OOC: I'd say as long as you don't get the resist from a passive skill it doesn't
@Bgammax

Ouch that sounds like it hurt.

Also Tatsuya is not my beloved leader or anything like that. I just stick around since he is like a danger magnet.


*Kalib uses the confusion to grab Delta in a chokehold from behind*

Boo~!
Yeah there is something weird about Akira....

Kinda glad Noir isn't wrapped in with that whole gang. They seem to have gone a little.... unhinged.
*shouts to migrant*

I blame Skull.
Ugh it sucks that I can't really remember any of this crazy shit that apparently occurred.
Actually, all of this remembering reminds me I should visit Bluey's cafe sometime.

Apparently I need to do research into cafes.
A leader is someone you stick to and follow the orders of, exactly like you described him.
Gamma, what is your damn problem? I seriously don't understand
Gah!

*Getting caught in the hold, Delta attempts to ram the back of his head into Klib's face. Regardless of success, Ramses preps a fist and sends a punch at Klib's back for an atypical version of God's Hand.*
Gamma listen I fucked up okay? I get it now that whole thing happened because I did something stupid. I do think you could been more clear about Lux but ya know what? I don't blame you because Yuki's right I never even considered something other than violence. Yu's right to though. Persona is more than just a weapon for fighting it's the power of our hearts. The bonds we forge with others are just as important to getting stronger for people like us as fighting. And I'm not sure when I forgot that fact, but it won't ever happen again.
Fine yes I will agree that I kind of do that stuff with Tatsuya.

But I do not have a special preference toward him.

I am willing to stick with anyone that is able to attract trouble.
So the rps are hiding here now
*throws Delta to the side after the head bash, and is struck by the God's Hand*

Hnngh...that one stung a bit... *he says pinching his nose*

Leonidas! Brave Blade!

*the spartan rushes forward and goes to slash at Delta's legs*
And Mishimans I'm sorry to hear you don't like me. *he puts his head down feigning being depressed... Then pulls it up and grins* Heh yeah right man we're friends even if you won't admit it.
My problem is that you DAMN Wildcards are SO blessed with this magical crap, the world's PRACTICALLY fallen at your feet. And you STILL Find time to complain about how you feel the world's done you wrong. And I can't STAND being lectured by some privileged BRAT..

You can keep your speeches about "friendship" and "bonds". But when the world's really after you, there's no one you can rely on but yourself.
*storms off*
Hmm.... the strength of heart...

*looks at Tatsu*
He's right, only you can protect the ideals you hold onto.
Mao
*in this very gym these unassuming people would be thrown into a world of choas, when instead of getting a workout they got a free ride to the... twilight zone!*
Hello! I have a question! How much to I need to work out to be able to easily snap the neck of someone three times larger than me?
What about me Mig? I'm serious here share man, I wanna know what everyone really thinks from now on. Also I think the old Phantom Thieves had a rule we should follow to... That bit about only going after targets we all agree on.
But what if we all share the same ideal? Then we could hold onto it together, right?
Ah but he isn't Lux! See that's the thing about ideals people can share em after all. I get you haven't gotten much reason to trust anyone but I hope we can change that someday.
Oh! I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything! It's just that I'm being creeped on a bit and I want to be able to defend myself...
@Miku
If you can break an arm you can break a kneck.
*Smirks at Tatsuya*

As if I would be the friend of a little shit like you. You are like the embodiment of chaos and as a shadow I don't need even more chaos in my life.

Also your dad jokes suck and I still haven't forgiven you for the tattoo.
@LuxTenebris

I see! Should I test on someone's arm then?
*shouts to Lux*

Don't go telling people how to kill in my gym! I don't want to have to pay for "cleaners"...
*He chuckles* Yeah yeah you Tsundere shadow. And if you don't want chaos why stick around people who find trouble?
@Miku
I wouldn't recommend mine, it's a little tougher than normal bone.
Mine is to if I'm using Lucifer or Satan.
*Shouts back to klib*
Sorry, I need to inform! It's in my progr-It's a bad habit of mine.
*shouts back*

Just make sure nobody dies while I'm out here okay?
OOC: Wow I only noticed you asked to join me SMT now Yu. Also I'm like level 7 I just got my first demons so I'm not doing anything fun.
Good to hear it. You're not doing too bad yourself.

*The blades get a good slash, causing Delta to stumble for a brief moment.*

Hah. That one stung a bit too. But how's this? Come out Satan!

*Ramses vanishes ans Delta rips off the mask and the judge of Hell rises from underneath him. From on top of Satan, Delta commands the large Persona to swipe at Klib with it's tail, hoping to knock him into Leonidas.*
*leans against a support beam observing*

Yes @Migrant. Unity is key. It is what up until now you were unaware you lacked.
What? I can't kill anyone? That's no fun!
OOC: The real leveling comes from doing the dungeons with other people.
Well, killing isn't that great, especially after you've felt what it's like to die.
*Looks annoyed*

I'm not a Tsundere!

Also I stick by troublemakers in order to find something interesting to do.
Oh! I know that feeling! I just want others to suffer through it!
Unity and the power of heart. Those together can beat anything, that's what Yu and Bluey seem to know.

Though it seems some people would rather cover up their disunity and weak hearts...
What equipment would you recommend to a beginner though? This is my first time in a gym!
Suffering isn't really that great though...People should be allowed to be happy as long as it's not at others expense.
*blocks the strike but is pushed back, Leonidas stopping him*

Heh. Thanks buddy! Alright, this is the power you gained, huh? Is it your's yet, or are you still just playing dress-up?

*grabs a spear from Leonidas, and gets ready to counter*
Hey man you get mad when I call you a friend yet stick around anyways. Classic Tsundere right there dude. And I'm glad I'm interesting if nothing else.
I don't really care about all that stuff! Hurting others makes me happy so I am gonna do it!
I guess if you want to snap someone's neck you'd build the muscles in your arms, specifically the wrists.
Yeah Mig your right. I was one of the latter for far to long but I aim to change that now... *He smiles at Migrant* You wanna walk that road with me pal?
*shouts out to Miku*

Weights are in the back left corner.
Okay, thank you! I'm gonna get so strong! Just you wait!
Don't strain yourself...
Don't worry! I won't!
*Glares at Tatusya*

It's not like I want to follow you. I only do it to kill my boredom.

*Blushes a bit*

Wait why am I even explaining anything you!

*Leaves the gym*
Not with you. But I'll walk the same road as you.

I need to get stronger as well. I won't rely on demons or magic weapons to protect the Nexus.... to protect everyone. And I want to protect them with you, and Kalib, and Yu, and Mishimans, and Bluey, and Noir, and even Lux.

OOC: You sense a bond forming with blah blah blah you know this already here take a social link and get interrogated by Sae.
Playing? This is a power I've all to myself! I'm no wild card, but this is something only I can do. Let me show you what I can do!

*He slides down Satan's arm and dives to the ground from it's hand. Landing on his hands, Delta pushes off of the ground and flips towards Klib. He jumps from the last flip and aims another kick at Klib's face. Satan moves forward and attempts to initiate a contest of strength with Leonidas.*
*nods and pushes self off of beam*

Good. Be firm in your resolve.

*walks away out the door, and chuckles to self with a sinister smirk*

*walking out in the darkness, disintegrates into a flock of black butterflies*
Heh. That's what I want to hear! *smirks as he moves to grab Delta's leg and swing him to the ground*

Leonidas! Show him you don't bend before anyone!
*the spartan roars as he runs to tackle Satan*
OOC: Your hermit right Mig?
OOC: Also I kinda want to make the spooky voices a social link. Yes I know it's stupid so I likely won't but come on SL with the SL voices sounds funny right?
OOC: Yup.
OOC: Good luck finding a fool with the Hunters of Sin kinda RIP and with Igor not here.
Mao
OOC: What social links do you have so far?
OOC: I already made Hunters of Sin fool.
OOC: Frankly though I need to ask people if they actually want to be Tatsu's S-Link.
OOC: Just look at all those SLs
OOC: Wouldn't the social link with the voice just be an SL with Persona?
I am thou...Thou art I...

Thou hast established a bond, this will be your power to seek a new horizon.

You have awakened to the Hermit Arcana.
OOC: Who are you strange specter!?!
OOC: I'm you, but stronger.
Mao
OOC: who is hermit?
Get out of here this is my territory!
OOC: Hi
*Delta is grabbed and slammed into the ground. He puts his hands in front of the ground to lessen the damage, but it still hurts. He feels the impact of the two Persona's clashing and smirks.*

Tatsuya's not the only one that can switch on the fly!

*Satan becomes a mask again, letting Leonidas continue forward. Ramses materializes in front of the both of them and slams his staff onto the ground to knock Klib off of his feet from the impact.*
Shit! You win this round bug! But I'll link you next time! I'll link you all!

((The spoopy voices leave and silence returns...))
OOC: Dammit I was gonna make that account. Whatever still doing my own.
I am thou...Thou art I...

Thou hast established a bond, this will be your power to seek a new horizon.

You have awakened to the Hermit Arcana.
(If you want, I could be a Jester or whatever arcana Adachi was in P4 Golden. I already kinda started one with Yu.)
.... Well that was weird.

Did anyone else here some kid telling them about flames of rebellion?
OOC: Spooky Voices for Nexus' MC
OOC: Jester/Hunger Delta. Though if anyone is Hunger I feel like it'd be Lux.
OOC: So would Yu for some reason be The World then?
OOC: Yu is Nameless, a variant of the Death Arcana.
OOC: Makes sense, yeah
OOC* I mean Lux
OOC: Anyone else notice I've left his persona's name as ???
Made this to track it. Also SL arcana will be whatever cause P3P made Aki Star even though his Persona is Emperor.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rtHpd8JDG0AhksFgDFRbGHkV_R8yEFm2w3TAAg7DmbY/edit?usp=sharing
OOC: Kotone may or may not stay depending on if she wants to though. I need to ask her.
(Yeah, only it'd just be Jester. Hunger can go to whoever wants it)
Hahaha! Perfect! That's it!

*is knocked back to the ground but quickly jumps up to his feet*

Alright, Leonidas, one more Spartan Rain!

*again the spartan creates a volley of spears that Kalib uses as cover*
Mao
(I'd be devil)
OOC: Not sure what Yu would be besides the Fool or the World
OOC: I mean, he has Izanagi no Okami so...The World suits him
OOC: I was gonna say I could be fortune, but I dont interact with y'all enough I dont think...Lightning could probs fill a role though...Justice? Judgement?
OOC: Hierophant?
OOC: nvm it's taken
OOC: She fits as Judgment really, kinda like Kazuya
OOC: I could see Yu as Justice frankly. I mean it sorta fits him.
OOC: In a way, perhaps the emperor in a way too
OOC: We need to interact with Labrys more.
OOC: Do you need the moon arcana?
OOC: She's off honeymooning or something, we can't interrupt that. Go look at the Norway thread and tell me you want to stop that fucking cuteness..
OOC: Well yeah in a way is what all them are frankly. Like magician is supposedly knowledge I believe. tell me we've gotten a magician who has any of that. Also yes I do Mishi.
OOC: Chilling in Norway with the waifu. But that thread is canonically in the past I think? Thats why Labrys has been running deliveries around here real-time
OOC: If you willing to have him then you take Mishi as your moon arcana. It makes sense given the amount of stuff that has occurred.
OOC: Hell yeah I am Mishi is awesome. Best Tsundere maid shadow.
Mao
OOC: don't worry it's in the past, I think everyone agrees
OOC: I don't put much past the Nexus at this point. So I just take it all for face value.
OOC: Except when Homura is involved but that's to be expected with time magic I guess
OOC: Flattery will get you everywhere with me. Let me know if you need me then for any of this arcana stuff.
OOC: Also yes Mao shall be Tatsu's devil. I considered Homu but well her whole life is a disaster so why not tower. And I couldn't think of anything else for Mao.
I'm not falling for the same tricks twice! God's Hand, Ramses! Use the power to keep the spears off of me!

*Ramses' fist glows with power as it strikes the incoming spears before they can reach Delta. The strain of taking the spears to the fist is evident, but Delta gets to his feet and presses on. Charging directly towards Klib, he jumps off the ground and goes to strike Klib with a series of punches. A descending strike from the air with the right, a left-handed uppercut, a right jab and left straight to finish it off.*

(Remember it's all the intention. Counter, dodge or whatever when appropriate)
Mao
OOC: I think it fits mao really well since it represents someone who is impulsive and is given to a temptation
*walks in*

Woah nice gym you got here Klib. Ah hey, long time no see everyone.

*nods*

Would have probably seen you sooner if I wasn't so tired after getting pummeled in the Metaverse yesterday...
Wait... but you were just here earlier. You were complaining about how we needed to find unity and stuff.
Huh? No I wasn't. I've been at the apartment all day. And Unity? I mean its important in a unit yeah, but I'm more of an Army of One..
Huh? But.. you were leaning on that pole right there. *points to the one "lightning" was leaning on before*
Okay so there are two of you now. Why not? There are like 4 of Yuki around here.
Alright! Let's end this!
*Kalib responds to each fist with his own seemingly holding off the assault until the left straight connects, sending him sliding back*


Hah...ah...ah...ahahhaa! Alright, I think that's game!

*Kalib relaxes his stance and walks back to Delta, hand outstretched*

You win! I'm sure you cleared some stuff in your head? Right?
*looks at it*

I haven't left the apartment today. Of that you have my word Mr Migrant.
Two of me, Mr Tatsuya? That would be incredibly problematic. Especially since I have slight control over time.
Well there must be two of you here.

Because one was here earlier.

.... Wait, time?
... Oh come on time magic? It's not like Homura's is it?
*walks back into the gym*

Hey Delta, I'll get some water! Oh welcome back Lightning!

*steps behind counter and fills two glasses with ice and water*
I can pause the passage of time for an hour, but people can still move and continue about their day. I effectively add an hour without disrupting clocks and day night cycles. I can also slow time in short bursts, but it effects everyone's movements too except mine, allowing me to unleash flurries of attacks.
Just who are you, Sparky?
*shakes head*

Mr Klib, I have never been here before in my life though.
Okay so nothing as bad as miss you don't move anymore. Although I doubt the slowing would work on me if I use Lucifer.
*The mask vanishes and he accepts the handshake. His eyes seem more focused than before the fight and he give Klib a slight grin.*

Yeah, I think did help clear away some of my fears. A lot more than I thought it would actually. I have to say, I'm impressed at how well you fight without Leonidas. I didn't think anyone else really put much effort in it. We should train together sometime. I bet you could do some cool combination techniques with your persona.

(That was fun dude. Sorry I got slower and slower as we went on. My attention keeps getting divided.)
I am Lightning Farron. Ex Guardian Corps, Knight of Etro, and the Savior.
And I'm Kazuya, The Hero, The First Champion, and sometimes also called a Messiah!
*Laughs at her*
I like you, Sparks!
Lightning's back? Here to train this time?
OOC: I'm at work so that was fine.

I'm still not used to fighting alongside Leonidas, which is why I'd be more than happy to train again together. Fighting with all of my allies will teach me more in combat than a dumb shadow ever would.

*hands him a glass of water, and quickly downs his own*

Eh? You mean to tell me you've got a doppelganger? Not sure if I should be scared or excited at that prospect.
*shakes head*

I am almost convinced you are all dribbling idiots. Though this is the Nexus I suppose.
You could say the Nexus brings idiots together...then...*He just stares at her*
Doppelganger...actually, I mentioned this to Yuki last night. I have head word of some form of "shape shifter" for the lack of a better term.
Eh? That's kinda important news! Why hasn't anyone been informed?
Shape shifter? Is it yet another person trying to muscle in on being a threat?
I was under the impression that the Hunters knew. Such an organization must be always listening and have connections after all, no?
You've got fire spells right Klib? If you're immune you could totally do a bunch of stuff with that alone.

*Drinks his water more calmly than Klib.*

I love coming up with special attacks and stuff. Let me know when you want to try some out.

If this doppelganger already can mimic your form Lightning, it stands to reason the rest of us aren't exactly safe.
Indeed...hmmm...honestly, I am pursuing leads on my own. Something feels horribly familiar in a way about all of this.
The Hunters.... are in a rough spot. As you should know if you were in the metaverse with us last night.
How so Lightning?
Could it be some kind of Shadow?
Well Migrant, this information was before that. I did not know your troubles were so disruptive for that long.

*grimaces*

Mr Klib, it may involve a...colleague. Back before I arrived here, a Trickster of sorts would mess with me using Chaos.
Chaos.... I feel like that was mentioned today somewhere....

Something about a gem?
Oddly enough, we have our own entity of Chaos...it would be naive to think that they might not be connected.
As disconnected as the sins have been I hope they don't team up anytime soon. What can you tell us about them Lightning?
Sorry...passed out for a bit...something about a blue room and ruin? Eh, whatever....but this doppelganger might be a problem...considering tensions are high as is.
OOC: I might just be really tired...but the word gym just looks wrong to me...not sure what it is.
I keep reading it as an acronym.
