The Abandoned Factories

“Who me? I’m Jihei Suzakuin.”

“Welp, you actually brought a gun.” Well not say that the older man himself also brought a gun, but rather a sub-machine one, something he hadn’t used in years. In his hand was a one-handed sword and he shrugs, “I guess you prepared accordingly.”

#heroics-masks #REPLIES!!!! REPLIES!!!!#little bit of that Courage showing at the end

Jihei Suzakuin... Not a familiar name. If this was someone with a personal vendetta, they’d have to be disappointed.

“Is it that much of a surprise?” Rather, the question he should be asking is there’s precedence for not bringing a gun to fight you?, but he chose to overlook that implication. “I’m still not sure if I’ll need it, though.”

“Oh, before I forget, you owe me a date for the long time of constantly avoiding giving me the truth.” She hms. “And … I think you need to talk to Ken.”

#arisato-chan #yea the date will (probly) never happen

Ken. Shit. Another conversation to dread.

“Alright. Don’t forget.”

The Abandoned Factories

There he was at the abandoned factories which for some reason gives him an odd nostalgia. Which is odd because he doesn’t remember anything like going into abandoned factories of sorts. Yet in his mind there was an odd strangeness in his mind. He shook his head. Everything was just probably getting at him for some reason.

Soon there was a lone figure at the wide open doors of the factory. Jihei waved at him and spoke, “Hey, welcome to our arena, or whatever you like to call it.”

#heroics-masks #gunna fite

Sword. Gun. That’s all he needed-- though he could bring any number of the weapons he had mastered (superintendent of JP’s and head of weaponry, anyone?), he chose just the ones he was most familiar with. Better to center your focus on one fighting style than make a mess of your options, after all.

He entered the factory with not a moment’s hesitation. A lone figure waved him down. What a casual greeting, considering the reason they were there.

“Who are you?”

He can be a sweet guy at times although he tends to go on his jerkish tendencies….

“You are such a mean person sometimes. But I guess it will take time for me to figure out my memories.”

#arisato-chan #this is the part where the Rank Up would appear

If Minako hadn’t remembered enough yet to reach the tipping point, it would happen on its own very soon.

“Heh. Sorry for pushing you. If you remember anything else, come tell me, alright? We’re... you know. We’re connected and all.”

She sighs and with a poker face, she stares at her feet.

“It means all these things I don’t understand and a constant painful reminder.”

Maybe he was pushing her too hard? Maybe.

“Don’t rush yourself. You have all the time in the world to remember,” he says, realizing as he said it just how true it was, “so take it easy.”

Time use that “Don’t GIVE ME THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW MINATO” technique" as she’s obviously irked.

“Persona? A mask of many selves or many faces?”

#arisato-chan #meme it out

Time to use that “repeat the question” technique because I’m a great roleplayer.

“Well, that’s what you’d find in a dictionary, yes. But what does it mean to you?”

toshicity

just for caution or so, jihei and minato will be taking over the abandoned factories for a fight. uvu

!? A fight? In my city?!??!!

..

Yes perfect go ahead have right at it you young gents I know how hot-blooded you folk are! Eheheh.

Aside from my grand approval, there’s not really cause for you to send in a note like this… unless it’s going to be a mini-event?! Come one, come all, come see some jerks take a fall?

…Anyway, I’m sure it’ll be fine!

“That’s good— …. wait what? And what about me? Why don’t I know anything? All my memories are just into pieces scattered about.”

“Do tell me what you learned, Minato-kun.”

#arisato-chan #let's see if we can blitz this thread #make up for lost time

Time for the patented blunt-as-possible technique.

“What does the word ‘persona’ mean to you?”

fate is in our hands (minato/minako)

"Ha. Ha."

"Tiny little tidbits of memories actually. It’s isn’t much, but my memories are either trying to mess with me or disappear. Sometimes its two memories that are alike but different in how they are played."

"Although my memory has always been sporadic anyway, but what I experienced when I came was highly different from my small amnesiac state. It’s many scenes but I can’t tell which one is real or fake."

#arisato-chan #two months later...#includes ryoji even though he's gone gone gone #i almost ended this reply with 'What Happens Next May Surprise You!'

“That’s what was happening to me, too. 2009’s always been the year with the haziest memories, and I found out Ryoji and Aigis were the same way. So a few months ago, I decided to get together with them and figure out what was going on.”

“We learned a lot.”
