here's hoping normal stays around long enough for us to grow tired of it again, i suppose.

and that's good to hear. i've always heard cats are wily little creatures! in fact, i was reassuring Lucy that hers would be fine as well for the same reasons. i'm not certain how well my comforting worked, however... i find her rather hard to read.

a good adventurer uses everything they have at their disposal, after all. first rule of adventuring.

if that happened, it... may actually turn me off of food, or whichever food was dancing at the least. it's different when it's simply fruit. when it's anything else, it's rather off-putting. imagine a burger doing ballet, for instance.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
we've made quite the wonderful composition, if i do say so myself. a heart-touching story, with danger and tragedy...
perhaps we should get together and truly make it? i have the means to do so.

[ ...........she still has equipment from when she did her professional-looking puppet show. ]

I'd prefer not to. [ She fidgets with her outfit; it's her cosplay she was wearing at the convention and got stuck in for most of August. ...Elda is in what Elizabeth last saw her in as well. ] I don't wish to hurt or do anything worse than that to anyone, Ms. Marker.

[ Even if it's going to hurt her... She doesn't want to? She doesn't like it. ]

silver - nightmare

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ Well that's... interesting. All of that is, and she gives Silver a curious look. They stick out where no one else does, herself and the dreamer aside.

She'll address Silver before they get on over to those two though, that seems vaguely more appropriate than just walking up to some people in his dream— ] Do you know those two?

silver - fog

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ ...Silver she is sort of a fog monster but she is still entirely made of metal despite her human-looking featuers, please enjoy how much that hurts—the close combat does the job of distracting her long enough that when her minotaur does come up, he doesn't dodge Kingdra's attack; no, he takes it full force with a roar and seems to... disappear completely with a sharp snapping sound. That's what makes her reel back with a shriek, butterfly ax clanging noisily onto the ground as she stumbles and grips her head— ]

What did you do, you brat? I won't lose here, I'll- I'll kill you! I'll—

[ Her voice breaks there, and her arms drop to her middle to hold herself; Thanatos raises his sword, though he doesn't do anything else as Elizabeth gives him a tired look.

The girl isn't attacking them anymore, and her Persona is likewise nowhere to be seen; she's probably not harmless, but she isn't actively doing them harm, either. ]

How could it end like this..? [ It's softer, still angry but more in the broken, frustrated way someone gets when they're out of tricks. ] It's all... completely ruined...

yato

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ She barely has time to let Yato know she's understood (or ask if he's alright, even) before the wolves are coming; she backs up with a soft gasp into her Persona, but Thanatos is on them in an instant, slicing through three of them with one clean sweep of his sword.

They also disappear in a dark cloud, and Elizabeth realizes (and is thankful) that they're just like the monsters from the convention. That's good, that's really good—she can pretend they're just game monsters come to life or something. They're not real, not really, they won't bleed, it's fine, it's fine...

...Little girls are future Elizabeth's problem, right now present Elizabeth has to handle wolves. ]

Thanatos, wipe them out!

[ The Persona roars in reply, grabbing her and backing off with a jerking motion; a moment later, a ball of energy pools at the tip of his sword, and he slams it down into a good chunk of them... and probably too close to Yato for anyone's comfort. He flickers a bit, Elizabeth slipping back onto the ground, but solidifies after a moment.

Megidola is powerful, but it takes a lot out of her, and she has to catch her breath; sorry, Yato. ]

mafuyu

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

The walls—? [ Wait Mafuyu come back, she's not going to run to keep up with her?? ...So please enjoy the sudden invisible wall stopping you short while Elizabeth catches up at a brisk pace...

Oh. Those things. Her confusion's cleared, it's good— ] Those are always there, miss.

[ And... now that they're indeed together again, Mafuyu can walk ahead again. Go claim your... treasure? There's something that looks like one of those item chests from a video game ahead, with a spotlight and everything. Also, it definitely plays ITEM GET music when it's opened (and has a baseball bat in it). ]

akira

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ Ah, the pop quiz... She remembers that! And she remembers not... doing so well on it either, or at least not up to her standards... More importantly though, music—Clair de Lune begins to play quietly in the background, but in bits and pieces? Similar to bird chirps. ]

I'd love to. I was considering getting a piano for the apartment to practice with there as well, but I don't believe we have the space for it... Perhaps a keyboard would work instead? [ Hmm. ] I'm afraid I don't know if there's any real difference between them, outside of size.

chiyo

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ She glances ahead to where Chiyo points, then shakes her head. ]

I'm on my way home as well, to be honest. It's not likely that I'll worry anyone by staying out a little longer either—my roommates are fairly understanding about my scheduling. [ her.... insane scheduling. ] Don't worry too much, alright?

dave

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

Not very nicely. [ she's hesitant when she says it, and she sighs before she softly counts them off on her fingers. ] Slipping off the platform and getting impaled by spikes, Dr. Halliday catching up to me and doing just what we did to him, or... slowly turning into something similar to him, except with one of the animals we all changed into when we ate the food here.

The last one wouldn't be so bad if not for that quick frankly freaky surgeon that showed up at the very end there.

john

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

Unfortunately, it wasn't. Actually, I was one of the people who fought him... [ And, as if hearing her admission, the were-llama gives a cry and is... definitely on the next platform. Elizabeth glances over her shoulder and turns to John, okay bud— ] How good are you at jumping?

[ Because there's another platform rising behind them, and it's a bit of a ways away, but nothing a running start can't get!! ]

kyouko

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

How should I explain it...? [ hm. ] Well, after completing the middle square, a QR code would appear. For those that completed multiple rows, there would be more... I managed to blackout my entire card over the month.

[ because she's not a sane person, and it really was a lot of fun? ]

There was a limit to the number of codes you could have though... I believe it was three. [ ...that sounds about right. ] At Retrospec's booth at the convention, they had a scanner where you could, well, scan them. They seemed to do nothing at first, but once monsters began showing up, treasure chests appeared according to how many you had scanned. I received a power, an item, and a wonderful companion from mine.

sena

Models even have a specific walk...? How unexpected.

[ she'll demonstrate a little for him while they're still back here though, according to his instructions. swing her hips a little, but not too much... ]

Like that?

minako

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ She really is the strongest person she knows... It's awe-inspiring, and Elizabeth is glad this is a dream; she isn't as exhausted as she is in the real world, even with the despair egg trying its damnedest to convince her she is. She has to hold onto optimism though, to the assertion that they can win this or at least...

Elizabeth finds her compendium in her hand and finds Thanatos' page with ease, the Persona appearing behind her with a soft noise. How well they've gotten to know each other... She isn't sure it's well at all, but she nods anyway, and tries to grin, too. It's a bit of a weird expression on her, since she doesn't usually do anything larger than a smile, but...

She wants to, for Minako. ]

On your mark, Leader.

I don't know either, honestly... things tend to change of their own violation in dreams. No one tends to believe you, I do recall that.

[... Can he affect it? Maybe... he'll try changing the wall color? To red, something simple.]

aricato

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ She's not a touchy person in general, but it's better when people look at you when you're talking— she draws away anyway and nods, hands retreating to her lap. ]

Yes, please. Though... I don't think she'd consider it bothering anyone. No more than I do, at the very least.

nazuna

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

Thank you for saying so. [ a compliment on her abilities is a compliment regardless of its intent. ] I always found it fun to think of punishment games for those that lost in activities... I generally won, so having to participate in something quite painful never worried me.

[ and it still doesn't. ]

jaeger

[elevelvetor]

[ from here ]

[ HMMMMMM. ]

He has dogs, doesn't he? Perhaps something for them, rather than something for the man himself...?

lucy

[ from here ]

...Such a dreary topic aside, I'm truly glad to see you well. [ In health, at least, even if not in mood. ] Were you heading anywhere in particular? I'll accompany you.

[ Probably with Thanatos. Unless she's really bothered by him, then she'll just switch to someone a lot cuter, but infinitely chattier. ]

lillian

[elevelvetor]

[ from here

...oh. ]

I... suppose that I have. [ It's weird to say that, when she's so firm about her and her other self being different—maybe the same, but different purely by life experiences—but... ] In my memories, at the very least. Not of this life, of course.

[ She's more neutral/subtle colors in this life. ]

Why do you ask?
