For Persona Heroes

The first thing he remembers was falling into a hole in the Deva Yuga. Had his team followed him? But the next thing Naoya new, he found himself landing on top of someone, before rolling off nearby. His gun and sword tumbled after him and he only saved himself from a rough landing by the warm body he landed on top of.

"Ahhh. Sorry."

At least, he hoped it was a human body. And not a dead one.

Don't you?

[He stops speaking when the lightning strikes, shielding his face, but spotting the masked cosplayer moving away. The fact the guy is backflipping away is amazing in its own right. He couldn't quite imagine his friends doing the same thing and his hands briefly come together for a single clap before - oh right, the battle. He should concentrate.]

[He raises his gun and fires a round of bullets toward the remaining target, in the hopes of buying the other enough time to attack properly.]

No.

[holds ups are totally not the same thing as a time out. either way the bullets do the job, and the Naga hisses in pain as a few strike true before it whirls around to face Naoya, spear sparking with electricity again]

[Joker takes the opening]

Persona!

[Jatayu makes a second appearance with a second Garula, and the green wind envelops the Shadow. it lets out a rather piercing cry as the attack hits, and its form dissolves into a cloud of black smoke. whew.]

[Well now that the danger HAS passed, congratulations are in order. Hence, the clipping.]

[Quickly followed by;]

So where the hell are we? I don't remember a level of Tartarus looking like this...and I can still use my Personas.

[well]

[thanks for the clapping? he'd take a bow, but he's too busy giving Naoya a look now. it's filled with suspicion]

. . . Mementos. The Shibuya Underground, as seen in the Metaverse. [an honest answer, sort of] Don't tell me you can use a Persona and you don't know what that is.

[HE's getting a similar one back because this makes absoluetely no sense.]

Shibuya Underground? As in Shibuya, Tokyo? [Idly, he strokes his single earring, thinking silently to himself before speaking again.] That's at least three hours of train from Mikage-cho, if not more. I'm not sure what you mean by this 'Metaverse'.

[a Persona user. . . who doesn't know about the Metaverse? did he just awaken to his power or something?]

[tilts his head sideways to give Naoya a look through the corners of his eyes]

What's with that look? Weren't expecting a sudden vacation to Shibuya?

[which is, honestly, a little weirder than the fact that this dude has no clue what the Metaverse is. if he didn't expect to be in Tokyo at all, then??? why is he here??]

[Something far worse.]

No.

[He keeps looking around, expecting more demons to show up.]

I've been to the 'Other Side' created by Maki's mind, and the Collective Unconsciousness, even Tartarus, but nothing that's three hours away in Tokyo.

I'm just...not sure how I got here at all, and that my team isn't here with me either.

[HE LEFT BROWN AND MARK UNATTENDED WITH ONLY NANJO. THE WORLD IS DOOMED.]

[. . . he knows about the Collective Unconsciousness, but not the Metaverse. huh. there's a pause, and Joker folds his arms over his chest, like he's debating something. how much information does he want to drop on a total stranger?]

[he shakes his head]

The Metaverse is the Collective Unconscious. A world created by human cognition. That's what you see around you.

[tilts his head to the side, a brief, jerky movement to indicate their surroundings]

I don't know how you got here, or where the rest of your team is, but I can give you that much information at least.

So another part of the Collective Unconscious? So like the Alaya Cavern...I see.

[He'd already gotten out of it with Maki, but at this point did anything make sense anymore? Things could shift and change the whims of whoever had that locket. As long as he still had time to stop Pandora and he wasn't thrown in a weird place that he couldn't come out of.]

Okay. Hopefully they'll be able to go on without me for a bit...

[THEY'RE PRETTY DOOMED.]

What are you doing in this place?
