ᴅᴀʀᴇᴅᴇᴠɪʟ, ʏᴏᴜ'ᴠᴇ ʜɪᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʟʟ.
Who: Akira Kurusu, Goro Akechi, Nikolai Gogol, and anyone interested in some shenanigans!
Where: A handful of locations around Aldrip
What: Akira and Goro have decided to do some people-watching to determine the identity of Gogol's farce to fake his death.
Warnings: There's a closed prompt that's gonna result in half a centimeter from death, but otherwise the only real warnings are that Goro and Gogol are involved in this log. ...probably a lot of innuendo and stupid teenager bullshittery, also.
[Picture this; it's a normal Wednesday in Aldrip, the weather is reasonable, you're going about your daily life. There's been some craziness lately, hasn't there? Some clown stole some organs, some people got messed up getting those organs back, and then some more people got messed up killing the clown. Yikes!]
[What you may not realize, is during the Killing of the Clown™️, some more things were stolen. Goro took it upon himself to steal Gogol's cloak and tablet, and... Well. As it turned out, Gogol's death was merely temporary, try as he might to convince others he was gone for good. He'd like his things back, but he's currently under the guise of an unassuming Salaryman...,]
[Cut back to this perfectly pleasant, normal Wednesday! Goro Akechi has opted to attempt to sniff out Gogol's trickery, once and for all. With the help of his partner (in crime and everything else), they have stationed themselves in separate areas of the city, connected by a seemlingly innocuous phone call, enjoying the weather and doing some good old-fashioned detective work by way of people watching. What could possibly go wrong?]
//ooc; please do not reply to this main post! comments will go up shortly for both goro and akira, as well as a third closed prompt. pick who you'd like to interact with, or hassle them both! reply to their comments for any and all sort of shenanigans, centering on your character's basic daily life in aldrip. :>

[Akira's own maze situations were uncomfortably similar to harsher versions of his friends in Maruki's ""perfect"" reality. Some part of him had to take a little pride in the fact that Maruki couldn't make his life perfect, that for all the shit he'd been through in the true reality he was still happier there than some augmented bullshit made by the hands of a self-proclaimed God, but... Well.]
[Insecurities, indeed. He hums softly in agreement, sitting slumped there a moment before he sits back up.] But that's over with, no sense in dwelling on it.
no subject
On the Midnight Channel, those insecurities where what manifested into Shadows. Facing them and accepting them was how Personas were born. For the most part.
[A slight frown. It's fine.] ... What I'm trying to say is, they don't go away if you just ignore them.

I guess "warped desires" is a similar description for the Midnight Channel, too. Most of the smaller Shadows were like that. It was the bigger ones we encountered that seemed to manifest from certain people. I... [He exhales a quiet laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.] I learned a lot about my friends that way. Things they probably wouldn't have wanted anyone to know.
no subject
[He bumps their shoulders again.] And you?
no subject
[He probably meant for that to sound cool but it's just dumb.]
... I never had a Shadow. Maybe because I awakened my power a little differently. It's interesting, though...the way these things are both similar and different for all of us.
no subject
[He drones a curious hum, nodding. After a thoughtful silence, he frowns and looks up and over at him.] You have any outliers in the general scheme of it? You said you awakened a little differently... did anyone else, or were they mostly formulaic?
no subject
[Ah. That's quite a question. He wasn't there to see Namatame or Adachi's awakening, but he imagines...it was probably similar to his own, even if they didn't have the Wildcard ability he does.] The rest of my team was pretty formulaic. But since none of them shook hands with a goddess at a gas station, I guess that makes sense.
[This is a sane way to word all of that, for sure.]
no subject
[He snorts, laughing briefly and giving Yu an incredulous look.] Goddess at a gas station??
no subject
I didn't realize he was a goddess at the time. [Look. Listen. Gender, amirite??] ...it was a convincing disguise.
no subject
[Akira knows a thing or two about Gender, it's true. He grins, nodding.] Arsène just spoke to me in my head because I was pissed off a shitty teacher was about to have a sentient suit of armor cut my friend in half. ...which I guess doesn't really sound any less insane than Goddess At A Gas Station.
1/2
[wow, they really are all like this, huh]
2/2
[He...hopes.]
