[closed] Special Extracurricular Phantom Thieves?

[orphne]

Who: Akechi, Akira, Ken, Kotone, Shinji, Yoshizawa, Astralin
Where: Astralin's farm
What: Meeting of SEES and the Phantom Thieves! (sleepover)
Warnings: blood and violence, thanks akechi

It honestly feels a little overdue to get all of the Persona-users together in one place, but in fairness to them, there's been a lot going on! With Ken's arrival, though, it feels more important than ever to get everyone together -- if something happens again and they need to fight together as a team, it'll be good to have moments like this.

Hopefully.

Also, like, it's a chance to just relax and have fun with the others. Kotone's close friends with all of them, so it only seems natural to invite them to what's essentially a sleepover. There's nail polish, drinks, snacks, games -- it's not a party, but just a chill hangout session to her. An opportunity to sleep out under the stars with her friends while still being close enough to a house that they don't have to worry about monsters outside.

Everyone please be on your best behavior?

[Not going to give up, huh? Then again, it's fair enough. He wouldn't either.]

I have two, actually. They allow me to have rather versatile skill set from the bless to curse and almighty. Oh, I know a healing skills as well.

[whatsamada]

[Now that was unique. Enough where he'll stop what he was doing and tilt his head to the side.]

Really? I only thought that Kotone-san was capable of having more than one! Does that mean you have the same powers as hers?

[murderingjustice]

[Ok, his smile might falter a little at that. Well, at least he's already aware of Kotone's power and status as a wildcard.]

A-ah, not quite. That'd be Akira Kurusu, the frizzy haired menace you've probably seen around.

[whatsamada]

Is that so?

[He still didn't look at his food. His eyebrows were still raised.]

Then I'm guessing he is your leader just like how Kotone-san is for mine?

1/2

[murderingjustice]

[excuse you?]

[murderingjustice]

No. He isn't. [ugh]


I'm not part of his group.

[whatsamada]

[Oh dear, what did Ken do now? See that look? He was starting to get worried...]

Then I'm assuming you're someone who is on their own? Or rather you just don't really want to work with him.

[murderingjustice]

I prefer working alone, yes. We've only teamed up temporarily when our goals assigned but that hardly makes me a Phantom Thief.

[whatsamada]

I see...

[No wonder Kotone said that. Now Ken was starting to see what kind of person Akechi was. In a way, that was making him wonder just how difficult he would be. If he wasn't a team player, it certainly would be troublesome should they ever be in danger.]

You still haven't told me what your two Personas are. Care to tell me them?

Aligned not assigned fhghjkk

[murderingjustice]

[Sharp one, huh. Akechi appreciates that Ken isn't led astray with distractions and his dodging. Giving his shoulders a light roll he just smiles at the younger boy. Very well.]

Loki and Robin Hood.

It's all good!

[whatsamada]

[Ken pondered to himself. Akechi was a strange one.]

One that is the God of Mischief and the other is one who wishes to help the poor. How interesting, they're two polar opposites and yet you have them.

[murderingjustice]

You think so? [He cocks his head to left, looking rather amused.]

Robin Hood fought for what he believed to be justice, despite going against what was considered law -- trusting only in his own sense of righteousness while pursuing the truth. Both him and Loki disturbed the order of their individual worlds.

[whatsamada]

In other words, you're saying that you're someone who is willing to go against the law for the sake what is to be true?

[Well, doesn't this sound a little familiar? Enough where he was shifting in his seat.]

[murderingjustice]

Something like that, yes. [He hums agreeably. It just happens to be the theme between those who can travel though the metaverse. ]

What about you? Would you fold in front of the injustice or seek for your own truth despite of what others might say about you?

[whatsamada]

[And then there was a long pause. Ken didn't know how to address that as he knew not to lie. It wouldn't be right.]

Yes. However, it depends on how far I'll be willing to go to uncover the truth for myself.

[It doesn't mean that he won't keep it vague.]

[murderingjustice]

[Oh, what is this? Akechi actually kinda likes this kid. He waits patiently for his answer, appreciating that he takes the time to consider his words.]

And? [He cocks his eyebrow up curiously, corner of lip curling in a smirk] Just how far would you be willing to go?

[whatsamada]

[There was that uncomfortable feeling again. He couldn't even look at Akechi as he suddenly found the food on his plate more interesting.]

Enough where I thought I could put my life at stake.

[Based on his words, it seemed that was as far as he was willing to say.]

[murderingjustice]

[His expression shifts, signaling that Ken just said the correct answer.]

Good. Otherwise it wouldn't have a meaning.

[whatsamada]

[And all Ken could do was just stare.]

Is that all you want to know? Because there are a couple of things I would rather keep private.

[murderingjustice]

[What? He's clearly pleased with the way this conversation is going! Anyway, Akechi just shrugs to that question.]

Don't we all have something that we'd rather not to let anyone else touch? [After all, Akechi himself sits upon quite many secrets and issues that he doesn't want to share with anyone. He's sure he'll be able to learn more about Ken and his deal later.]

[whatsamada]

I suppose so, it's just a little unusual for me to talk it outside of my teammates.

[Not only that, it was odd knowing that there was someone else who could understand too.]

It's not everyday you get to meet another Persona user and share something in common.

[murderingjustice]

Hm. [He lets out an amused huff.]

You're acting like I'm trying to coax the information out of you against your will. [C'mon, he's not all that bad. But Ken has a point here, these are not subjects that would come up with the most of people.

Guess he's too used to being able to talk so freely with Kotone by now.]

You say that like you don't have much common with rest of your team. [Hey, guess who has the same hat!!]

[whatsamada]

It's not that I don't, it's more that I'm younger than them.

[Scartching the back of his head, this was quite the strange topic to talk about. For a moment, he wondered if he should say it. It seemed that there was no real harm, right?]

There's a 6 year difference between us even it doesn't look like it.
