GYM ft. an apartment upstairs
*Kalib flips the sign to "OPEN" as he waits for Blu and Verde to arrive.*
Ghost_Akihiko
I cannot wait for another day of training and eating protein!
imtherealklib
Oh! Aki! I finished modifying the ectoprotein! It should now give you a more corporeal form to train with!

*Smiles at the ghost.*
Blu_Duel
*enters in still pushing his brother unit in the wheelbarrow*

I am here. So where is you room?
imtherealklib
*Points up*

It's upstairs, I have a lift I use for moving equipment from storage up there, just wheel him over here.

*Walks to the elevator at the back of the building and uses his key to call it.*
Ghost_Akihiko
Great! As always you have been an invaluable friend in helping me continue my training further!
Blu_Duel
*walks to the lift*

Thank you Klib.

*pushes the buttons to Klibs room and goes up*
imtherealklib
No problem! The protein shakes have been pre-made, their in the fridge behind the counter. Help yourself!
Tatsuya
Hey Kalib how's it going?
imtherealklib
*Heads upstairs and meets Blu, bringing him to an open workshop area.*

Here, you can perform the repairs in this room. I'll be downstairs in case people show up.
imtherealklib
*Returns downstairs.*

Oh hey Tatsu! What's up?
Blu_Duel
Alright and thanks again.

*lifts Verde on the operation table and hooks a energy pipe to his battery section reactivate him*
Tatsuya
Ah nothing much. Just wondering what your up to really. Also bored of waiting around Leblanc in hopes Maya shows up.
imtherealklib
She'll come around again. Give her some time to get acclimated to the Nexus.

*He gives a warm smile.*

Oh, that's right! Did you want to try the magic manipulation that Delta taught me?
Tatsuya
I'm sure she will... Unless Nyarly did something. I'm gonna try and get Homura to help with him actually.
*He smirks*

And yeah that sounds like a good time.
Verde_Buster
(upstairs)
*reactivates but having one side of eye being messed up*

what happened...
imtherealklib
*Heads over to the back door, motioning for Tatsuya to follow.*

Hopefully I can explain it well enough.
Blu_Duel
Chaos energy attacked you and you got messed up. But I am going to do some repairs and I got a new battery to this spot later on. So rest up. I got some work to do.
Tatsuya
*follows Kalib outside* I'm sure you can.. I'm a pretty good learner.
Blu_Duel
Hey Klib, if you see Gamma, tell him to bugger off.
Ryuzaki
*he sighs* what a day............
Verde_Buster
Alright Duel... I need the rest.

*goes into sleep mode*
Ghost_Akihiko
*Ghost Akihiko begins punching a training dummy, oddly enough despite being ethereal his fists seem to phase the dummy*
imtherealklib
*Yells upstairs.*

I won't cause he's a friend, but I'll let him know you said so!

*Walks into the center of the lot and summons Leonidas.*

Alright, so the worst part about the whole experience is that you need to get used to having your energy put back inside your body. Leonidas, Inferno please!

*Kalib is set ablaze before stretching out his right arm.*

Tch...then you need to focus it into a shape or form and send it there...

*The flames begin to move towards Kalib's right hand and begin forming an orb of intense heat.*

Then boom, you got the basics.
Ghost_Akihiko
What amazing Persona control! I haven't even tried to summon mine since becoming a ghost!
Tatsuya
Hmm seems kinda painful yeah?
Blu_Duel
Alright... let's get to work.

*starts working on the repaires to his brother unit*
imtherealklib
Only because I'm not experienced enough, but it's not so much pain, so much as being overcome with power...hmmm, imagine Orgia Mode but all the power hitting you for 1 second...that'd be a lot to bear, no?

And thanks Aki, but you should try summoning it, who knows what'll happen!

*Kalib makes his hands look like guns and sends some fire to the left hand.*

Now, for a cool attack! *He points the finger guns to the sky.*

OPEN FIRE!

*He unleashes a barrage of fiery bullets into the sky, fizzling as they hit higher altitudes.*
Emerson
*Walks in*
Ah, pulling that out again?
Hey Klib.
imtherealklib
*The small orbs dwindle into nothing and he drops his arms and turns to the others.*

Oh! Hey Em!
Tatsuya
*He smirks* Doesn't sound to different from normal to me.

*Apollo appears and lights Tatsuya on fire. He grits his teeth a bit.*

No not so bad at all... *The nuclear flame forms into a sword and he swings it around a bit* Hmm interesting. I've never thought to try something like this before.
Ghost_Akihiko
Try to summon it! That's a good idea!
*Ghost Akihiko focuses, but nothing seems to happen*
That's strange! I cannot summon my Persona!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu walks into the gym*
Hmmm...
imtherealklib
Wow! Quick learner indeed Tatsu!

*Looks at Akihiko.*

Hey, Aki...do you have your evoker?
Tatsuya
*He stabs the sword at the sky and let's go mid motion sending it up and causing it to vanish* Very interesting... ny idea how to combine it with guns? And Akihiko you used an Evoker right? Tried one of them.
Ghost_Akihiko
Oh, right! The evoker! I knew I was forgetting something! Unfortunately I do not! I lost it upon dying!
Tatsuya
I carry one to pull fusion spells like Yuki used to. *Pulls his Evoker out and tosses it to Aki* try with that.
Ghost_Akihiko
Thank you, friend!
*Ghost Akihiko tried to pick the evoker up but his hands slip right through*
Oh, right! I'm ethereal.
Tatsuya
... how can you hit things then?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu walks up to a mirror in the Gym*
Ghost_Akihiko
I'm not quite sure! Things are affected by my punches, but I can not seem to grab objects!
imtherealklib
*Thinks for a moment.*

Well if you can find one, I could probably modify it to be an Ectovoker, and you should be back in business!

*Turns to Tatsu and grabs a rifle from the range.*

Hmmm, let me try. Leonidas! Eigaon!

*Tendrils of darkness pierce Kalib and he winces, before the darkness begins crawling through his arm and into his rifle.*

Midnight Bullet!

*Kalib aims the rifle at a target and fires a small black object that begins to grow and change into a massive drill, thus obliterating the target.*

Huh. Something like that I guess.
Tatsuya
Have you tried focusing on said object? I know it seems simple but it works for some ghosts at least.
imtherealklib
Oh, you got one! Mind if I see it Aki?
Ghost_Akihiko
It's Tatsuya's evoker! So it is up to him!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu stares into his own eyes, he seems to be deep in thought*
Tatsuya
*he draws his M60* Darkness eh? I've got just the Persona.

Lucifer Omega Cluster! *The fallen angel blasts darkness into Tatsuya causing him to grimace* hurts more than Apollo. Not as in tune... Now let's see what I can do.

Blackest Storm! *The gun let's loose a hail of bullets black as midnight at one of the targets destroying it. Amazingly​ nothing else was harmed before Tatsuya stopped shooting* So what do ya think.

Tatsuya
So long as I can still use it it's fine Kalib. And what's​ up Yu?
imtherealklib
You've definitely got the hang of it Tatsu!

*Flashes him a thumbs up.*
Tatsuya
Hmm wonder how it'll work with my new gun? Ah well I can look into that later.
Ghost_Akihiko
*Despite Tatsuya's voice, Yu doesn't budge. He seems to be in a trance.*
Delta-M
*Reveals himself to Tatsuya and Kalib. He was hidden close to the entrance.*

I felt someone passing on my knowledge. Seems Tatuya is finally starting to see the other uses of our Persona power... But Kalib, you still feel pain when you channel the magic into your body? I'd have hoped you'd have grown past that, but I guess it'll take more time for you to adjust.
imtherealklib
*Rushes inside and grabs some glowing green liquid, some scrap metal, and some tools and runs back out. Laying the tools on a workbench.*

Sweetness! Let's upgrade an evoker!
Ghost_Akihiko
OOC: Dammit my covers vlown
Tatsuya
OOC Holy crap Yu!? I never would of thought it.
imtherealklib
OOC: I FUCKING KNEW IT YOUR TRICKY BASTARD!
Hillock
OOC: Lol
imtherealklib
OOC: Lol, it made sense, I saw you mention "Does Kalib mean Ghost Aki" in discord, at roughly the same time he appeared in Leblanc the other day, I just didn't call you out on it
Tatsuya
Hey man you should wake up. And yeah Delta that's a pretty interesting technique... Got anything for using magic without summoning?
Emerson
Oh, is there anything I can do to help Klib? This is kinda my thing y'know?
Ghost_Akihiko
OOC: I was going to make ghost aki actually a relevant character somehow
Yu-Narukami
OOC: Eating and rping was too risky I suppose
Tatsuya
OOC: You still could? But we'd all know it's Yu.)
Hillock
OOC: You still can
Yu-Narukami
OOC: Don't tell anyone else, it's our secret
imtherealklib
OOC: No reason you can't...just...give him a more satisfying demise...than...the stairs...

*Kalib picks up the evoker from Akihiko.*

Sure thing Em! If you can fill those bits of metal on the table with that green goop, then we should be in motion here.
Emerson
Do... do I really have to touch this... whatever this is?

Honestly, it looks disgusting. But alright, fine.
*Begins filling the metal with the green goop*
Tatsuya
Oh yeah Em question. You're from Pyrrha's world right? If so know anything about Aura?
Delta-M
Using magic without summoning, huh... I don't think anyone but I can do that, and I didn't know I could until we went camping and I wanted to make fireworks by myself. Heh. I think it might be the only benefit to being a fake wild card I've got. And I can only do it with Ramses. Neither Satan or Beelzebub let me cast their spells...

*Delta becomes lost in thought as he ponders the significance of this ability.*
imtherealklib
Um...you probably don't want to know Em...but I got it from guys who are really good with ghosts! My contact is...Doctor Venkman I believe his name was? Cool dude.

*Begins taking apart the trigger mechanism and grip of the evoker.*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu continues to look into the mirror not noticing Tatsuya, his eyes start to lose their color*
Ghost_Akihiko
I hope you can upgrade the evoker! I cannot wait to try to summon my Persona!
Tatsuya
Dammit no way? Describe how it feels would ya? I need a way to make myself Physically​ better without actually wasting time summoning Hyperion for heat riser.
Tatsuya
*Walks in Front if the mirror and stares into​ Yu's eyes* Hey snap out if it already.
Emerson
What? No, I'm not from Remnant. I've just been there once of twice.

I do know a fair bit about Aura though. It's basically your soul manifested. It can be used for defense and offense, and can also be used as a general protective barrier on youself with enough training. It also contains your semblance, which is a power you have that's unique to yourself. It's almost like Personas, in a sense.
Emerson
*or
Akamoto_Nanaka
*warps in*
Nana wants to spar!
Yu-Narukami
*The color returns to Yu's eyes*
Huh, Tatsuya? When did you get here?
Delta-M
Well I guess I can but... First tell me how you feel when you summon a Persona that isn't Apollo or Hyperion? Something like Lucifer that isn't tied to you as a person? Depending on your answer I'll know if it's even worth telling you what I felt. Like I said before, I feel it's my only benefit to being a fake.
imtherealklib
*Begins taking the goo filled metal and welding it with Leonidas, before reinstalling them on the evoker.*

*The evoker now has a green glowing trigger system, and grip.*

Alright! This should be good! Akihiko, you should be able to use the gun now if what Dr. Venkman told me was true. And considering you could drink the protein, then it looks like this will work!
Ryuzaki
She doesn't stop no matter what happens *he sighs* it's like she's another Misa
Tatsuya
Pyrrha thinks you could get both... Know how to obtain Aura?
Emerson
Well, I do know one way is to have another who has Aura unlock your own. Aside from that, I'm not sure. Perhaps it just comes naturally to those of Remnant?
imtherealklib
Oh! I heard Jotaro shout about Aura a lot when he was around! It's been a long time since I saw him though...
Ghost_Akihiko
*Ghost Akihiko grabs the Evoker*
Alright! I'll give it a try!
*He takes the Evoker and shoots himself with it, nothing happens but Ghost Akihiko's eyes widen*
I remember...
imtherealklib
*Notices the change in Akihiko's eyes.*

Remember what? You okay?
Tatsuya
Something other than them huh... It's like I'm putting on a mask. No more than that it's like being someone​ else. This is one of my many selves. Lucifer in specific feels dark. Like all the rage and hate for God of the first fallen flows through me.

I'm pretty used to it by now so that hardly ever shows but unnatural Personas can shift the personality of the user to an extent.
Yu-Narukami
I remember how I truly died...and why I am not still dead...
Yu-Narukami
OOC: Dammit!
Tatsuya
Died? Yu you're alive man.. or if you aren't him then who?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu leaves the gym with a strange look in his eye*
OOC: I can't do two right now...
Emerson
OOC Good job Yu
Tatsuya
OOC: Ignore that. I thought it was possessed​ Yu at first.
Ghost_Akihiko
I remember...it was on the roof...
imtherealklib
OOC: Try SessionBox Yu, it let's you have multiple instances of the same website under different accounts.
imtherealklib
The roof? Of your dorm?
Mao
Mao is back and ready for great action and adventure, love and romance, tragedy and comedy
Delta-M
I see... Then it's pointless Tatsuya. You can't learn how to do that from me... Know why I can't use Satan too much or he turns back into a mask and stops listening to me? Because when I use anything other than Ramses, I have to become empty. I run the risk of losing myself whenever I switch, and maintaining my sense of self and control over the Personas is mountains of stress on my psyche. You guys that just call upon other aspects of yourselves need to find another way. I can't help you there.
Ghost_Akihiko
Sorry, that is all I can remember at the moment!
Tatsuya
Feel empty huh? So of I made myself... No not worth it, actually could you learn to use aspects of yourself? I'll admit that power is impressive in that you can control it. But there's gotta be something else right? At any rate I'll find something else thanks Delta. *He similes at him*
imtherealklib
*Turns to Tatsuya.*

I've used magic gems to do it, but that isn't your own power, so the feedback might be a bit more intense depending on the strength of the gem.
Tatsuya
Gems huh? No I'm positive I've heard of something else but I can't quite recall.
imtherealklib
*Turns back to Akihiko.*

Haha! Don't stress about it man! We'll be here to help ya get your memories back! Don't you worry!

*Raises his voice.*

Now then! I heard people wanted to spar?
Emerson
I do!
Tatsuya
I'll go up against you if ya want Em. One Persona or all?
imtherealklib
*Thinks for a moment.*

ALRIGHT! EMERSON REQUESTED A CHALLANGE! WHO WILL STAND PROUD AND ACCEPT THE DUEL?
imtherealklib
DISREGARD I WAS TOO BUSY YELLING TO NOTICE!
Emerson
Don't worry, I won't use Crescent Rose...
Unless you want me to.
Emerson
Oh. Tatsu.
Emerson
Well... I'd say one Persona, but most likely you'd use the one I can't hit or has a weakness of mine...
Eh, fine, one. Can't be that bad.
Ghost_Akihiko
This seems like it'll be an exciting match!
Delta-M
(I type slowly. Pretend this was said before the talk of sparring happened)

No, I don't think I can use anything but this self-destructive power of mine. Any other Persona I gain will likely yield the same results... I used to have another Persona before Ramses, but I haven't been able to summon it since I awakened to Ramses and I've forgotten what it was even called... And why are you thanking me and giving me compliments? I haven't even really helped you, and I've said how much I don't really like parts about you plenty of times before.

*He turns away from Tatsuya to look out to he field.*
Tatsuya
Use the scythe. And are you weak to Earth? If not I'll use Lakshmi. I'd rather not win by abusing my wildcard.
Mao
Place your bets here! Who will win the sparing match?
Ghost_Akihiko
I will place 40 ghost dollars on Tatsuya! Because they gave me this Evoker!
Emerson
Nope, not Earth.
How about I don't tell you, and you figure it out?
*Brings out CR*
You ready? I'm not pulling any punches!
Emerson
B-but I helped make it Gaki...
That's cruel...
Tatsuya
I know you don't like parts of me Delta. I don't​ like some parts of you but I respect you for sure. You're smart and normally level headed. I've learned quite a bit about what we can do from you. Frankly in spite of our issues I consider you a friend of sorts.
Delta-M
..... $20 on Em. If Tatsuya's holding back I think he's got a good shot.
Mao
Thank you akihiko, anyone else?
Tatsuya
Em I'm not using your weakness. Just Lakshmi I rely on switching​ too much. *He draws his M60 and points at Em*
imtherealklib
I'm betting on Em. That weapon and the ability to use Dust is no small advantage. The duo isn't in sync just yet, but give it time.

*Places a stack of 5000 yen.*
Mao
Thank you for your patronage delta and kalib
Delta-M
A friend, huh? I guess I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of you being my friend... I guess we're fine then. I hate to admit it, but the parts about you I hate are some of the things I wish I had myself.

*If a SL shall be formed, it'll be of a blank arcana.*
imtherealklib
OOC: TFW we're all betting in different currency.
imtherealklib
OOC: Wait...Mao's a money demon...we got duped didn't we?
Emerson
Ah. Well, I suppose I can make due.
*Pulls out a magazine containing White cartridges*
You better make this fun Tatsu.
*Readies CR behind him*
You ready?
Tatsuya
"Thou hast gained the Delta social link of the... Umm we're not sure arcana* We're not sure Arcana? The hell does that mean. Well either way yeah I'd like to get to know you Delta.
Mao
Shhhh klib
Spooky_Voices
{Really? Really?! Are we going to do this right now? Just because shit has been cookie cutter before doesn't mean we know what to do all the time!}

[Dude, just chill, the mortal didn't mean it...he's just confused because we're sup-]

{NO! YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU TWERP! HE IS CALLING US OUT ON DOING OUR JOB! DO WE TELL HIM HOW TO SUMMON PERSONAS AND ALL THAT JAZZ!?}

[S-sometimes...]

{EFF. YOU.}
imtherealklib
OOC: Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Tatsuya
OOC: I can't keep track of my Personas. Sarasvati is earth.

I was born ready. Now come Sarasvati! *The person bursts forth and throws up a wall in front of Tatsuya with Earth magic. Tatsuya steps out from behind it a bit aiming his gun at Em ready to fire*
Delta-M
One day, maybe Tatsuya. But for now let's start with this. I've still got things to sort out about you, Kaz and the other wild cards. Now go get beaten by Emerson so I can win this bet.
Emerson
I was hoping you'd say that.
*Em spins CR back around, and fires a round towards the side Tatsu is on. On impact with the wall, it created a large chunk of ice*
Tatsuya
*he grins and dodges away from the wall firing bullets towards Em* Hmm you move fast but are you fast enough? *sarasvati summons Spears of Earth that rush towards Em from behind*
Emerson
Heh. *Em slashes at the Spears, destroying them*
*Under his breath* Now, gimme what I want... Come on, hit me...
imtherealklib
*Kalib lets out a sigh.*

Well...the answer is yes Tatsu...don't get cocky.
Tatsuya
*looks at Em and stops firing* for some reason you seem to be trying ta get hit how come?
Emerson
Oh no, not exactly.
In fact, keep doing what you're doing. I have no issue with it honestly. I can keep this up all day!
*Fires 2 shots at the ground, creating an ice object large enough to cover his body. He then changes out the semi-full magazine for one with Purple cartridges*
Tatsuya
Purple.. Gravity I'd wager can't be a normal element. *He pulls his sword out and rushes Em trying to knock CR out of his hands. Sarasvati tosses some needles at Em*

OOC dream needles to be exact low phys chance of sleep.
Ghost_Akihiko
Perplexing, but I don't understand why their dodging so much, bullets and blades don't hurt!
imtherealklib
Aki...they aren't dead...and you CAN still get hurt...

*Kalib puts some green goo on the end of his spear and pokes Akihiko's shoulder.*
Akamoto_Nanaka
*runs in and shuts the door behind her, Pale and out of breath she leans against it and falls to the ground*
Ghost_Akihiko
Ow! Watch where you're pointing your ghost spear!
Ghost_Akihiko
Hmm? What's wrong blue haired girl! You look like you just saw a ghost!
Emerson
Did you just...
Man, I hope you get hit by this. You deserve it after that.
*Em fires a shot below him, sending him skywards.*
Saul! Sukunda!
*Em fires a round behind himself, shooting him towards Tatsu*
Oh, I hope this works...
imtherealklib
That wasn't funny Aki and you should feel bad.

*Walks over to Nanako and gets on a knee to talk with her.*

Hey, Nana, are you okay?
Delta-M
*He turns his attention away from the fight and walks over to Nanaka.*

Hey, are you alright? You look like you've seen something really scary.
Ghost_Akihiko
Funny? What was not funny?
Akamoto_Nanaka
*curls up*
N-naru...
Cards...
Scary eyes....
Possessed....
Ari3s
*She shambles in, a weak smile hiding a blatant look of pain on her face as she greets everyone.*

H-Hey you guys.

What's goin' on..?
Ghost_Akihiko
Hello, stranger! Are you here for training!
Delta-M
Ari3s? What happened to you? You look like you're hurt? Is everything ok?
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya slows down and gets hit head on. He rolls away with the blow but is clearly winded* tricky one kid. Maybe I shouldn't have held back... But I didn't say I'd hold back the new gun. *He rolls away and sheaths his sword as a silver Magnum appears in his hand* Nuke now. *He begins firing green tinted bullets at Em* Like it?
Ari3s
Training? I-I dunno anything about that, um...

Did I c-come at a bad time?
imtherealklib
I....you were serious Aki? Nevermind that.

*Turns his attention to Nana and offers her a hand.*

Hey, let's get you into the staff room, we have somewhere you can sit. You're safe now, we're here Nana.
Mao
I have no idea what she is talking about
Ari3s
What are you kidding? I feel g-great, Delta.

Never felt more alive, ahaha...
imtherealklib
Ari3s? Christ. What is going on today!? What happened?
Akamoto_Nanaka
GAH!!
*pulls out sword and swings it at Mao*
G-getaway!
Mao
*dodges*
Well that's hardly polite at all~
Emerson
Nuclear... bullets? Yeah, I do NOT feel like being hit by that.
*Fires a shot to his right and begins firing shots to go around Tatsu in a clockwise circle*
Ghost_Akihiko
Calm down, blue haired girl! Unless you intend to spar there is no real fighting in this gym!
Ari3s
@imtherealklib
The hell are you going on about? Nothing happened.

Just don't feel well, is all. Must be something I ate. Been coughing up whatever it is I've tried to eat today.
Delta-M
Nothing's really happening right now, but maybe you need to sit down somewhere. And maybe tell us what's wrong? It's clear that something happened to you Ari...

@Nanaka
And you need to calm down. Swinging swords at people isn't the best thing to do right now...
imtherealklib
*Kalib crushes a black crystal, swathes of darkness form a gauntlet and he grabs the sword.*

Nana! Wait a sec! Please!
Akamoto_Nanaka
*points sword at Mao*
S-stay away!
Mao
Why bluey?
Tatsuya
Didn't think you'd like em. Come Persona! *She once again throws up an earth wall to block as many shots as possible. Tatsuya attempts to dodge the remainder in his slowed state*
Akamoto_Nanaka
Y-you took it! I saw you take it!
imtherealklib
*Turns his head to Ari3s.*

You don't look too hot, I thought it was something bad. Not that you aren't attr- you know what I don't have time to make dumb jokes. But there is a medicine cabinet behind the juice bar.
Mao
Five pounds? Of course I took five pounds! I am a money demon after all.
Ari3s
S-Sure, but uh, ack-- maybe a trash can, or something first?

*She places a hand over her mouth, lurching forward a bit.*
imtherealklib
Also behind the juice bar.
Akamoto_Nanaka
You took the card!
imtherealklib
*Turns back to Nana.*

Card? What card?
Mao
Oh that? I plan to sell it as soon as possible...
Akamoto_Nanaka
Not here... Not in front of him...
imtherealklib
*Stands up and stomps his foot shaking the building.*

MAO! EXPLAIN...NOW!
Emerson
*Em continues his circle, but stops once the Earth wall is directly between him and Tatsu, and neither can see each other.*
You're gonna have to come and get me Tatsu!
*Em begins running towards the Earth wall with it still between the two*
imtherealklib
*Turns back to Nana.*

Sorry, if you can stand, head to the staff room. I'll be with you after I get answers out of Mr. Maoney Bags.
Mao
Yu gave me a card when I asked for £5
Hillock
*A window closes, and you see @Hillock, Gun in hand, looking outside. Then he puts it back to his pocket*
Shit, this is bad...
*Notices @Ari3s*
@Ari3s, you ok!?
Akamoto_Nanaka
*backs into the staff room, never taking her eyes off Mao*
Tatsuya
*stops shooting* Em let's call it a draw for now this seems important. *Walks over to Mao* hey there pal so what's up? Taking random powers from shady bastards?
Ari3s
*She gives a nod, dashing behind said juice bar, to cough up a viscous, black fluid into the trash can. The minute following would consist of dry heaving.*
imtherealklib
Okay, so what does the card do?
Mao
If you can call it that, tatsu whats up with this card?
imtherealklib
OOC: I now understand how Boss and Labrys feel, but this type of excitement is really fun!
Hillock
*Runs to @Ari3s*
Shit, not you...
Emerson
Wait, there's something going on? Shit, I was way too focused on the match to notice...
*Walk over to Klib* You need me to do anything here? I've got your back.
Mao
The card makes you think "superbia"
Tatsuya
Mao lemme see it.
Delta-M
Ari what... what kind of sickness do you have? This is very serious. That stuff you coughed up is not normal.
Yu-Narukami
*The card burns brighter as Tatsuya gets closer*
Tatsuya
And don't hand it to me not touching that.
imtherealklib
*Turns to Em.*

Make sure that Nana is safe and not hurt, then take care of Ari3s. We'll handle getting to the bottom of this.

*Looks at Mao.*

Can we see the card in question?
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya leaps back as he notices the light* On second thought keep it away.
Mao
*shows tatsu the card for £3*
Tatsuya
Kalib careful my getting close made it glow. No clue what that thing is but it's dangerous.
Mao
My offer to tatdu remains the same for you klib
imtherealklib
Shit a burning card? It's like what Yu had during the camping event!
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya is still moving away from Mao and the card*
imtherealklib
Hmm...Okay Mao, put it away. Don't take it out anymore and I'll give you 15000 yen.
Yu-Narukami
*As Tatsuya move away the flame lessens but when Klib approaches it sparks up a bit*
Ari3s
Fuck man, I don't know.

Just started up this morning.

It's been off and on since..
Tatsuya
Don't get close Kalib. Mao gimme a picture of it that should be safe.
Emerson
Gotcha.
*Walks to Nanaka*
You ok? Whatever's going on with Mao, I'm sure they can handle it. Don't worry.
Hillock
@Ari3s... can I take a bit of blood? Maybe I should analyze it...
Ghost_Akihiko
Hmm, a mysterious card, and its full of emotion...
Tatsuya
Aki stay away. That thing is some kinda messed up Persona or something.
Mao
How am I supposed to give you a picture of it?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Narukami... He was in the streets, and he said something about... Becoming superior.. and that the cards would solve all our problems... Mao and the Doctor took one.... I ......
Ghost_Akihiko
I'm not about to go near a Persona giving card! I need to earn my Persona myself!
imtherealklib
It's full of emotion? Can you tell what emotion in particular Akihiko?
Hillock
*Hears @Nanaka, but is still worried about @Ari3s"
Tatsuya
You have a... Never mind put it away I'll give you my phone. Snap a photo with it then I'll examine.
Ghost_Akihiko
No...I can not, but I think it's one that Tatsuya and I have a lot of...
imtherealklib
*Takes a picture of the card using his COMPhone.*

Like this Mao. Now put that thing away dammit.

*Throws 15000 yen at Mao.*
Delta-M
Just started you say? For some reason I'm not buying it Ari. But what have you been doing recently? Anything that might be related to... to this? I want to help you but if you don't tell me anything then I'm stuck here twiddling my thumbs.
Mao
How do I use this fancy gadget? You kids sure have some weird things...
Tatsuya
Oh thanks Kalib. And one we have lots of? Must be rage I'm filled with it.
imtherealklib
You can "fly" a plane...but can't use a phone?

*Face-palms and sends the picture to Tatsuya. Because in Japan, we should've already traded numbers when we became friends.*
Emerson
Doctor? I'm not familiar with any Doctors...
But Narukami? Are you sure? Then again he has been acting... weird lately.
Anyways, is there anything you need? Anything we can do for you?
Mao
*Mao doesn't know where to put the card, so he eats it*
Ari3s
Was the lie really that easy to see through? A-Ahaha..

It started a couple says ago, but it wasn't as frequent, or as bad as this, so I-I didn't make a big deal of it.
Tatsuya
*examines the photo* Hmm Les see.
Tatsuya
... dammit Mao don't you have pockets? And the hell we gonna do now?
imtherealklib
It's a Persona card Tatsu, odds are it'll be back...with a vengeance...
Hillock
@Ari3s! What are you talking about?!
Yu-Narukami
*Thousands of ghostly faces are seen in the photo, some of them look familiar*
Akamoto_Nanaka
I don't know... I wanted to take it... but he was scary... so I ran away...
Tatsuya
*focuses on the ones he knows*

OOC: Don't start a fight now please. I have work tomorrow and it's 4:30 AM.
Delta-M
It's no use saying you should have told someone sooner so I'll skip that part. Can you tell me anything at all that happened to you that might be related to this sickness?
imtherealklib
OOC: I second that, I have to leave work in a bit, and I'll be gone for like an hour...please only exposition right now! Please Yu-san
Yu-Narukami
*He see's the face of Kazuya, Yu, Gamma, and even his own face*
Hillock
OOC: *Sigh* ok... (This is the only time I can have them...)
Yu-Narukami
OOC: It's just a photo
Emerson
That's fine. It's a good thing you didn't take it and ran. There are too many unknowns to know if what he was saying was even true...
Anyways, let me at least get you some water or something. It should help you calm down a little.
*Walks to Klib*
Hey, do you have some bottled water or something? It's for Nanaka.
Tatsuya
*puts his phone away* Wrath? Hmm or pride perhaps one of the two. At any rate I need to go home now see you tomorrow. *He rides of to his apartment*
imtherealklib
OOC: I mean you can, Hill, just don't expect everyone to be here. Didn't mean to be a spoilsport! my bad
Tatsuya
OOC: One​ can never be too careful with magic.
Mao
*suddenly starts to puke violently*
Hillock
OOC: I was joking
Akamoto_Nanaka
Milk...
imtherealklib
*Turns to Em.*

Yup! In the fridge....just...don't give her green stuff.

*Kalib looks at the photo, does he see anything different?*
Ari3s
@Delta-M
Well, I tried to cook, and I don't think the meat exactly cooked thoroughly enough. But uh, I kinda ate it anyway.


Aside from that, the only thing that could come to mind would be that shit the author said.
Hillock
*!*
Yu-Narukami
*Kalib see's significantly less in the photo, his own face is nowhere to be seen it, it either.*
Hillock
@Ari3s... you sure? Which part exactly?!
Mao
The card lands on the floor
Emerson
*Hears Nanaka*
*Checks the fridge for milk instead*
Ah, good. He keeps this thing pretty well stocked, minus the goop...
*Pours a glass of milk and takes it to Nanaka*
Is this good? I heard you say something about milk and I assumed...
Delta-M
The... author? Who is this and what did they say?
imtherealklib
*Puts his phone away.*

Strange...

*Notices Mao puking.*

OH COME ON!

*Go's to the janitor's closet and grabs a mop and bucket preparing to clean.*
Hillock
@Delta-M, The author is a guy who has been sending encrypted messages to @Ari3s. Looks like he knows something about the sins and the nexus.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*takes the milk*
Thank you...
Mao
That card is stronger than anything I've ever drank
imtherealklib
*Proceeds to clean up the vomit and pushes the card out of the way.*

Mao. Pick that up and put it in this.

*Hands Mao a ZipLock brand ziplock bag.*
Ari3s
The author was basically the one who made the messages -V- delivered. He said something about, this darkness I'm harboring. Apparently it um, can destroy the world if it isn't vanquished. Yu and everyone have decided to wait for it to come out, rather than just kill me outright, but it's been rough...
Mao
I'm not touching anything that's been in my mouth, I mean I'm 500 years old, I don't know how poisonous I am.
Hillock
*Worried face*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu enters the gym looking tired*
Hey, everyone, anyone know how I got outside the gym?
Emerson
No problem. If you're alright, I'll go see how Ari3s is doing. Tell me if you need anything else, ok?
*Begins walking towards Ari3s*
imtherealklib
*His eyes grow violent.*

LIKE FUCK WE'RE KILLING YOU! WE'RE GOING TO SAVE YOU DAMMIT! SO WHY DID YOU WAIT THIS LONG TO TELL US!?

*His eyes return to normal and he just looks down, proceeding to clean. Visibly ashamed at his behavior.*
Mao
Hey, it's crazy yu
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Sees Yu*
GET OUT!
*throws sword at Yu*
imtherealklib
*Notices the sword.*

LEONIDAS!

*The Spartan blocks the blade.*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu move out of the way of the sword*
Why so hostile? And crazy Yu?
Hillock
*Goes with @Nanaka, and tries to calm her down*
Ghost_Akihiko
That silver haired guy also has a lot of that emotion on him!
Emerson
*Rushes back to Nanaka*
Hey, take it easy.
imtherealklib
*Uses a garbage picker to put the card in the baggie.*

There Mao. Now hold onto it.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*spawns sword again*
Get out! I don't want your card!
Ari3s
@imtherealklib
Hey, hey...quiet down. I've got a headache too, y'know..
Delta-M
That-That's awful! What if this darkness emerging affects you in a way we can't reverse? Has anyone thought about that? You're clearly not doing very well... We need to find a way to either stop it or remove it before it's too late. Do we, have any clues about this darkness? Or are we just left here guessing without a lead?
Yu-Narukami
Card? Nanaka, what are you talking about?
imtherealklib
*Turns to Akihiko.*

Regret? You don't seem to be angry that you're dead...so I can only assume you have regrets...
Hillock
@Nanaka, calm down, he is not possessed now!
Ari3s
Uh...the latter, Delta.
Ghost_Akihiko
No, I have no regrets. This emotion seems more self-inflicted...
imtherealklib
*Turns to Ari3s and can't speak, but he looks sad that he yelled that way.*
Emerson
*Hold Nanaka's arm with the sword to prevent her from throwing it*
Hey! Naka! Chill! There's no need for this.
Just relax...
Yu-Narukami
Possessed? What do you mean by possessed, Hillock?
Hillock
*Looks at @Yu with the most serious face he has never make*
Minutes ago, You were possessed. You acted weird, and that scared @Nanaka.
imtherealklib
OOC: This is the part where I go afk...please don't destroy my gym pl0x.

I...gotta go for a bit...sorry..

*Kalib takes the cleaning supplies to the elevator and takes it down to the basement.*
Akamoto_Nanaka
You don't know that! He could be faking...
Mao
*starts to fall asleep on the sofa*
Ghost_Akihiko
Maybe I should just go, I'm not feeling that great anyway...
Hillock
No, he is not possessed now...
I can feel it...
Yu-Narukami
I'm still not sure what you guys are talking about.
Delta-M
This is just... What kind of situation is this? Damn it all... Well, the Nexus is full of all kinds of people. Maybe one of them can do something with their magic? Maybe... maybe someone else can take the darkness from you. Someone that can handle it better? I just... I wish I could do something, anything about this myself...
Emerson
Whether he's possessed or not, there's no reason to be endangering people by throwing those around.
Please, just relax. Do you want some more milk?
Yu-Narukami
I should be heading home anyway...
*Yu turns around and leaves the gym*
Akamoto_Nanaka
Just S-stay away from me...
*warps away*
Ari3s
It's all good, Delta. Really. I'm sure we'll figure out a way.
Hillock
*Still worried about @Ari3s condition, tries to calm down @Nanaka*
Delta-M
But it really isn't though. Even if we figure it out later, you're suffering here and now. And I can't do anything to help you through that currently. It makes me feel powerless and scared and... I just want you to be ok...

*He looks to the floor, angry that he can't do anything to change the situation right now.*
Emerson
Well, shit. I... have no idea where she went.
*Sigh* I hope she doesn't try kill Yu...
*Walks over to Ari3s*
Hey, anything you might need? I have no idea what exactly the whole, "coughing up black stuff," is, but if you need anything, I can get it for you.
Kinda my job now, I guess...
Hillock
For now, I think we should keep an eye on @Ari3s and her infection. I still want to take a blood sample...
KensukeKurosaki
*walks in* What's up guys?
Hillock
Well, @Yu got possessed, @Ari3s has darkness inside her, @Mao almost summoned a dark persona... More or less that
