FARSE
Greetings.
Hear me. Hear my voice. It is time I finally reveal who I truly am. I know who each and everyone of you are. Those who wield the power of the Persona. The facade that grants you thy strength. Thus, it is only fair you know who I am. I understand you will most likely perceive me as your foe merely for my outwardly appearance, but I am not your enemy. I hold no ill intent.
Starwaddle
Okay? So who are you?
Yu-Narukami
Uh, what are you then?
FARSE
I am The Author. The one whom's messages have been delivered by the on you call -V-. I am the one who did everything in my power to guide you. It is because of my appearances that I hid for so long. I felt that you would not have accepted my guidance had you seen the husk, the monster that I am.
Starwaddle
Monster?
Yu-Narukami
So, what are those messages about anyway then?
FARSE
Yes, a monster. Just look at me. Would you trust me if you simply saw me approaching?

My messages were meant to act as a guide, and at times, a warning. I fear for the potential destruction that ruin may bring upon us all. But I myself cannot do anything about it. As such, I enlisted your help through the ciphers.
Starwaddle
So...what are we supposed to do? What kind of danger is there?
FARSE
You recall the traitor I mentioned earlier, yes? You must seek them out. They harbor within them the darkness that will bring about ruin to our reality. If you do not defeat them, their impulses will only strengthen this energy they carry, until it ultimately razes everything it can get its hands on.
Starwaddle
Oh, that? I have feeling I know who it might be but...I don't know for sure. What do we do when we find the traitor?
imtherealklib
Once again going back to, how far back are we talking? Cause I've been here for a lot and I don't want to be targeted.
FARSE
Please, do share you ideas with the others in your group. I do not know myself, as I can only sense their presence through the darkness within them. When you find them, you must do one of two things. You will either have to kill them, or find some means of dispelling the dark impulses that they hold inside them.
FARSE
It is as I said; since the beginning of this realm.
imtherealklib
That does narrow it down at least. And it seems that a change of heart should do the trick.
Starwaddle
So we just have to purify them? That seems simple enough. I'll keep a look out for any signs of someone being a traitor who is in no way shape or form me...I have my reasons. So, anything else?
FARSE
No, a simple change of heart will not do. Forcing such a thing will not do anyone even a gram of good. You will have to convince them to change their ways on their own accord, or kill them.
imtherealklib
Well I won't be letting anyone die, so I guess we gotta persuade them to change.
FARSE
It will be no easy task. And if you cannot do it, at least one of you must be ready to execute this individual.
Starwaddle
Are there any other threats we should worry about?
Ari3s
This is...insane. I don't know if I'd be willing to kill this person if it's someone I know well.
FARSE
None that I sense at the present moment. Though, before I leave, I must bestow an item of importance upon your leader.
Starwaddle
Just give it to me. I can get it to him when I see him...
Succoth-benoth
Hehehehe...Enjoying yourself in my Realm?
Ari3s
Give it to me. I'll be sure it gets to him.
FARSE
Very well. It is urgent that you give it to this individual-

Oh? I'm uncertain what to do...
Starwaddle
Oh what the fuck? I asked first, and it's okay I guess. I'm the most trustworthy person I know...and I mean that literally.
FARSE
Wait, I...sense the dark presence. It is near here. Very near.

Ari3s
You say that, but I could easily say the same about myself. It's all about perspective.
imtherealklib
GET THE FUCK OUT S U C C O T H. I don't take kindly to people playing God, especially when my friends are put in danger!
Ari3s
Oh shit.
Starwaddle
Just give it here. I know who to give it to, and will give it to them posthaste...do it before someone does something.
Succoth-benoth
Hehehehe...Aren't you a spirited young one...an excellent addition to my collection...And I'm not playing God..I AM a God.
Ari3s
I-I cannot! The darkness, I sense it from one of you two!
Ari3s
OOC: Oop. Wrong acc.
Ari3s
Just give it here. I can get it done much faster than she probably can.
imtherealklib
OOC: THE RUMOR COME OUT! OH SHIT BOI!

God or not. You put my friends in danger time and again. I look forward to taking you down.
Starwaddle
Okay, give it to both of us.
Ari3s
OOC: Yeet. I am the Author. I'm not -V- tho. I'm just like, "oh, lemme just take credit."
Succoth-benoth
OOC: Oh shit son.
FARSE
How am I to know which of you I can trust? The darkness is coming from one of you, but I cannot decipher which of you it is. I-I cannot hand it over now! Surely, someone else can take it, no?
Succoth-benoth
I will devour you first little round one...I promise you that. Hahahahaha..!
Starwaddle
I'm a good goddess. I could probably call them. I have their number on my phone. Would that work?
Ari3s
Well last I checked, it's not me. I'm sure it's something I would notice. So just give it to me. I can do something as simple as delivering an item.
imtherealklib
I warn you Ben, I don't go down easy!
FARSE
Yes, perhaps it would best to call someone.
Ari3s
This is ridiculous. But okay. I guess that works too.
Starwaddle
Okay...it's Yu that I'm supposed to call, correct?
Ari3s
He is our leader, isn't he?
Starwaddle
Yeah, I just get a bit confused because Yuki is also around. *Calls Yu*
Ari3s
It happens.

But anyway. This item, was it anyway? What's it do?
FARSE
It is the Origin of Light. In the right hands, it will be able to combat the darkness this traitor holds within them.
Ari3s
Really? How so?
Starwaddle
Sounds epic. Definitely something someone that's very active around the Nexus would want. Yu doesn't really show up that much, but he should know how to use it.
FARSE
The item will attempt to override the darkness that holds into this individual so tightly. But it must be in the right hands, otherwise, it could easily kill this person if even the slightest thing goes awry.
Yu-Narukami
Was I called?
Starwaddle
Oh yeah, it's something Yu would definitely know how to use. Where is he? I called him, but he hasn't shown up. *Calls Yu again*
FARSE
Indeed. I need you to have this item when you enter battle with your culprit. It is the Origin of Light. It will help you combat the darkness.
Ari3s
*Quickly, she takes the object, taking a number of steps back until she's out of arm's reach.*

I'm so, so sorry. But I can't let you do that.
Yu-Narukami
Huh, looks similar fo something I've used before.
Yu-Narukami
@Ari3s, what are you doing?
FARSE
So it was you...

Yes, I see it now. The darkness, it eminayes from you, young lady.
Starwaddle
What? Oh, you're the dark one...now it makes sense...*grabs her*
Ari3s
Look, I. I don't want to do this. Really.

But I can't just let this asshole hand off something like this.
Yu-Narukami
What are you talking about?
Ari3s
*And another step back.*

Nuh-uh. Not so fast. You really think I'm gonna take this lightly?

Not even gonna hear me out? I'm hurt.
Ari3s
The old fart is right. I'm the one. The one who harbors the darkness with the potential to bring about ruin. I didn't want to be the traitor, but I had no other choice. It was either that, or I'd run the risk of dying. You heard him say it.
Yu-Narukami
Star we should hear what she has to say first. I got in a lot of trouble back in the day for not hearing someone out.
Starwaddle
Okay... I'm confused now. What the fuck is going on?
Yu-Narukami
Dying? What are you talking about?
Ari3s
Thank you. You've always been the understanding one, Yu. I can appreciate that.
Ari3s
If done wrong, this thing can kill me! He even said it! Ain't that right, asshole?
FARSE
*A subtle nod is given.*

That is...correct..
Starwaddle
Yeah, I get it. I just wanted to make sure she didn't run away. It's happened a lot to me in the past.
Yu-Narukami
Then I'll use it, I'm prepared to risk my life for this.
Ari3s
See? And while I'm all for preventing this ruin, I'm not about to die for it. A million pardons for being so self-centered, but that's just how it is. Even if it is a small chance, it's a possibility regardless.
imtherealklib
Bullshit Yu! You can't take that chance! What about all your friends? What about Nanako!? There has to be a better way!
Yu-Narukami
I've used a item like that before, back then the stakes were much higher as well.
Mao
Don't risk your life man
Ari3s
Think about it! It isn't my fault! So why should I have to pay the price? How was I supposed to know that this shit was incubating within me like a virus?
Yu-Narukami
Your right Klib, maybe there is. Hey author is the orb of light really the only way to clear the darkness?
FARSE
It is. But there is the risk of killing her, and possibly even you in the process.
imtherealklib
How?
Ari3s
*Taking a number of steps back, making sure another attempt to grab her can't be made so easily.*

You see? I'm not taking that risk. You may be willing to Yu, but I'm not.
Starwaddle
So? We cheating fate a dozen times over. We can do it.
FARSE
It is a powerful object. It is quite literally the Origin of Light. All that is pure, and good. Such a thing has the power to end a life.
Yu-Narukami
Murder isn't the truth were fighting for.
imtherealklib
Okay, so what happens if we let the darkness in Aries fester?
Ari3s
See? I'm glad at least you get, Narukami.
FARSE
...If it builds up for too long, it will most likely bring about the fabeled ruin we've all been fearing, and attempting so desperately to prevent.
Yu-Narukami
We'll face the darkness if we have to, thats what friends do for eachother.
Starwaddle
Wow...I got a ton of those things. They are pretty rare, but I've been around my multiverse enough times to get a few...even if they don't work the way you described it. they mostly just work like a lightbulb.
imtherealklib
Then we wait. And fight the darkness when it rears its head. I refuse to let a friend die.
Yu-Narukami
I've faced ruin before, I'm not afraid to do it again.
Ari3s
You're so stupid. Don't you get it? To face the darkness, you have to face ME. Are you truly willing to do that?
imtherealklib
Are you willing to face yourself is the real question? I don't plan on letting you go because some shitty god made you the vessel of darkness, so I'll fight and save you. No matter what!
Yu-Narukami
Well, the alternative is killing you wich I don't think you'd agree with anyway.
Starwaddle
We've fought plenty of things. We can pummel the darkness out of you no problem.
Ari3s
I already did that, idiot. And you know what it got me? An arcana shift. As it turns out, I align with the Devil arcana. Do you know what that means? Don't you get that it's why I was chosen? Fate's a shitty thing.
Ari3s
@Yu-Narukami
Of course not. If you were to try that, I'd be more than willing to reciprocate.
Yu-Narukami
Fate is not absolute, the truth is something that you can change, not all at once but a little at a time.
Starwaddle
Chocolate covered friendship speech! But no, seriously, we can just smack the darkness out of you no problem. You could also go do some stuff to purify yourself.
Ari3s
We don't have time. Not much of it, anyway.

But y'know, just so no one tries anything funny.

*She chucks the spherical object with enough force to make it shatter, leaving shards of glass to fly in all directions. They quickly dissipate, and disappear before they can do any harm, however.*
imtherealklib
I mean...that could've helped us at some point....

*Sighs.*

Well, now we can't do anything but wait! *Smiles warmly*
Starwaddle
Wow...well there goes my new lightbulb.
Yu-Narukami
Good, that was never an option in the first place.
Ari3s
I would apologize, but I'm reeeeaaally not sorry. Like, at all. If you think there's another way to beat this thing, then I'm going to take self-preservative measures.
Starwaddle
Well, have you tried an exorcism? A purification ritual? Anything?
Ari3s
No. I'm agnostic. I don't buy into that crap.
Starwaddle
Oh...then how about getting the Origin of Darkness to suck the evil out? I mean, if there's a light then there must be a dark.
Ari3s
Well, if it works the same way that I think the Origin of Light does, wouldn't it just put more in?
Yu-Narukami
Wait, maybe Philemon has an answer.
Starwaddle
Fair point...welp, nothing else to do then wait for you to go crazy and fuck the darkness over.
Ari3s
...Philemon? You mean the guy who used to awaken Personas? Didn't he disappear, though?
Starwaddle
Oh, you mean that guy who wears a mask, right? I saw him while I was taking a walk...it was a very weird walk.
Ari3s
Look, I um. I think I just need to go for now. I have...a lot to think about.
Yu-Narukami
Well, an aspect of him exists within this world and it should be free now.
imtherealklib
That's fair. Go get some rest.
Yu-Narukami
Ok, if thats what you feel is right.
Starwaddle
Yeah, go to sleep...or ask Morgana.
Ari3s
Yeah. I guess so. This is a lot to take in.
