[Sounds on brand for him. He looks at the wall, making sure that damaging won't hurt the overall structure of the building. Thankfully, the piece that has caught Ryoji's scarf seems to be mostly elongated for aesthetics than cause destruction of a property and home.
...Probably.]
I won't. Please, don't move.
[As he says those words, bluish energy begins to gather under him, before a creature forms over his head. Well...more like a man on a surfboard.]
Go.
[The Persona then uses its naginata to cut the concrete as easily as someone would cut a tree's branch before it disappears as quickly as it had shown up. The piece of concrete, and with it, the end of Ryoji's scarf, falls to the ground (with Ryoji following possibly as well), exploding with calculated precision, finally freeing the cloth from the stone. The damage to the wall...and cloth is minimal at best.]
[ How does one properly react to the sudden appearance of...an sci-fi angelic butler on a surfboard?? Ryoji's not sure on what is more surprising - the fact that one can summon such a thing, or that he has a very different aesthetic to his new friend over here.
It leaves Ryoji a bit dumbstruck on the floor. It lasts for a while, even as he inspects his scarf for damages (nothing much save for a few strands, thankfully), but once the shock wears off, he immediately breaks into a grin of awe. ]
Thank you so much, and - that was really cool! How did you do that?
[See, there's a tiny bit of a smile on Kei's face - but then it's gone in the next blink. A man that will become #1 shouldn't too prideful at any praise, and keep it level. Or at least, that's what he tells himself.]
A persona. A power I gained in my world. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the tools for other to be able to wield this power are available to this world.
[KEI YOU CAN'T TEACH DEATH THE PERSONA GAME sheesh.]
[Well that's certainly not something Kei expected to be taught at a school, especially in Japan, or at least, he supposes based on the name. There's low odds someone would even speak about that. Then again, that type of 'situation' it seems, tends to happen more often than he wants to believe.]
It's possible he might have been a Persona user before, if the subject interests him. To most people, it's merely a type of highly-debated psychology. Perhaps in your world, it might just be that.
[In his world (and totally not Ryoji's!!!), however, there's a probability Jung was literally a Persona user.]
[Now that’s a plot twist he would find to be too shocking to wrap his head around — it’s one thing for weirdness to occur in this strange new land, it’s another to learn of the possibility that it exists in your original world in the first place! What’s next, discovering that he’s classmates with someone with the same supernatural ability? Or maybe one of them would be a robot!
lmao no way amirite]
I can’t believe it, but you might be right — he’s our school nurse, and not necessarily a psychology expert, y’know? Are Personas something common in your world?
That's a truly complicated question...[he hasn't met other users here yet either or his answer might be slightly different.] I couldn't tell you how many can use a Persona, but I've met my share of others who were able to summon them...both good and bad.
However, to be a persona user, you must have a strong heart and will to freely manipulate them. There is more to it, but perhaps we can talk about this later, least another part of your body or mine meets a similar fate as your scarf.
That makes sense. [sage nod.] It's like how there are super heroes and super villains. That sounds so cool though! Hey, do you think there's a way for me to have one?
[He would sound like an excited puppy here until he is reminded of why they were having this conversation in the first place (The Bad Scarf Incident.)]
Wait, you're right - the glitches haven't ended, have they? [Where did they come from, anyway?] Let's go somewhere safer, first.
That...I am not sure in this world, unfortunately, but it would depend if you have a strong sense of self. I assume if you are here, then there is always a possibility...
[Anyway back to the task at hand, because if he continues like that he's going to break the timeline.]
Yes. Let us go, young man.
[He doesn't quite wait for Ryoji's reply before be looks around and starts to get away from the glitching, the latter probably realizing Kei is at least trying to look around to make sure no one else is stuck somewhere before they finally make it a place that's less glitchy.]
[He doesn't mind Kei's urgency at all, not when there's a looming invisible threat in the form of the glitches. It would be awful if Kei's scarf ends up getting stuck! Then again, they know that 'Persona' thing could fix that issue, yeah?
Ryoji does his best not to badger him with questions on the walk away, although it's obvious that he's brimming with curiosity. But the moment they feel safe, all gloves are off.]
So if it's a power that you can gain, instead of something that you're born with, does that mean you have to experience something in order to get it? [He mentioned something about having a strong sense of self - maybe it's a kind of situation that proves it, then!] How did you get yours? ...And why is it a guy on a surfboard? Do all Personas come with surfboards?
[If only. Thanatos would look cool if he used his coffins as a surfboard. But maybe that'll come true in the future - Ryoji is like a sponge when it comes to learning, after all!

[ It's taken long enough that he's stopped panicking about the scarf and started to laugh about the situation instead. ]
Maybe I can try wearing it like yours? Even though my scarf is way longer than that.
no subject
[Nanjo, that sort of sounds wrong if you blink a few times.]
Besides, there are multiple ways to fold a scarf around the neck; perhaps wearing it like an ascot would suit you.
[The man takes scarves Very Seriously.]
...it appears that luck isn't on our side when it comes to freeing you. Would you mind if I attempt to do so?
no subject
You're right, of course. I can tell that your own scarf is important to you, too! It suits you well, by the way.
[ Congrats befriending Death because of your expertise on scarves, btw. ]
Alright, I trust you, Kei-san! Just...try not to damage it? Please?
let me know if this works for you otherwise I will edit it

this is perfect!!! hello mister surfer butler

A "Persona", huh? That sounds familiar...
[There's a distant look in his eyes as his eyebrows scrunch, deep in thought. Could it be..?]
Oh! One of our teachers was talking about it! Carl Jung, or something? I bet Edogawa-sensei actually knew they were powers like this!
[I actually don't remember if we get an Edogawa lecture while Ryoji was around, but for the sake of the RP let's pretend that he does. For comedy.]
