Who: Chie Satonaka and everybody else ever

Location: The plaza

Time:  Evening

Status: Open~

 

 

There was a girl standing in the plaza examining her wet track jacket, making an annoyed grumble. This was just a great to wake up, wasn't it? She unzipped her jacket and fanned it out a bit to shake some of the water off of it, not that it really helped dry the rest of her, but at least if she didn't have that on Chie figured her body would dry quicker. After her jacket seemed to be less wet than before (although not by much), she tied it around her waist.

 

Securly tied, she looked up to see who would have dumped water on her, only realize she didn't even have the slightest idea where this was to begin with.

 

"W..where exactly am I? This isn't Inaba at all!"

 

How did she get here? Where even was here?! She appeared to be in some city that was underwater, from the look of things. The only conclusion Chie could come to was this was some strange world inside the television, but it didn't make sense to be back in here when the murders were all done and over with by now. Besides, there was no reason she'd wake up here alone, and drenched with water at that.

 

She took this moment to admire the dome above her and the plaza in general though, moving her wet bangs out of her eyes a tad bit. It looked so...different from the inside of the television, so real. There wasn't any dense fog in the air either obstructing her vision.  But at the same time it was a very drastic change from her usual country town scenery back in Inaba she was so used to.

This couldn't be inside of the television though, no. Chie was somewhere completely new and foreign to her. But why?

Snapping back to reality, the girl looked around the plaza. She decided reaching out to the nearest passerby would be the best thing to do, it was time to get some answers!

 

"Um, excuse me? Could you tell me where I'm at?"

Comments

[yellowglasses]

"People..in the sea of your soul..." That sounded a little too familiar to her. "I guess you're right though, things definitely could be worse! Atleast nobody is dying here.."

Or at least, to Chie's knowledge. For now Vatheon seemed safer than, you know, jumping into a television to save people who were shoved in by a murderer to be killed by their suppressed selves.

[undie_boss]

Eikichi shrugged and shook his head. "Long story. I could tell ya sometime, babe." And that follow up statement was true too. "Yeah, no explosions or people disappearing. Much safer than Sumaru City was."

[yellowglasses]

A part of her really wanted to ask about it, but if she were wrong it'd sound really stupid.
Then again, she did just grab a random guy off the street and start asking him questions about where she was while soaked with water. If this had been a normal city, that would have seemed just as (if not more) peculiar than saying some word that may or may not be important to him...

"By sea of your soul you mean like...persona, right?"

[undie_boss]

"Exactly right, babe," he replied with a grin. So there were devil summoners here too. He wasn't entirely sure how far that spread, but if Philemon had anything to say about it, Eikichi was pretty sure Personas weren't just a Sumaru City thing. "They call me the Death Boss because of it." Yup, he was the death arcana.

[yellowglasses]

What were the chances she'd find new Persona users here in Vatheon? Well, more likely than she even knew, but..this guy. The "Death Boss", he must have a Persona under the Death arcana, like how Suzuka Gongen was under Chariot..

"W-Wow, I didn't actually think I would meet anyone else other than my friends that used Persona. At least, not here. Maybe we were supposed to meet." Chie said, laughing a tiny bit at the end of her sentence.

[undie_boss]

Eikichi grinned. "You never know, babe. Some things do happen for a reason." He found that to be quite true in the last few months. Things did happen for a reason as they were drawn together for a greater purpose. Though there were rumors responsible for a lot of stuff in Sumaru City, but that didn't necessarily seem to apply here.

"Sure is nice to meet another persona user."

[yellowglasses]

"It is! Did you get yours from fighting inside of the tv world too?" Chie wasn't very sure if it was even possible for someone's Persona to emerge in another way than the ways she and her friends did it. She guessed she just never really put any thought into it.

But just then her stomach rumbled a bit. "O-Oh..yeah, I guess it has been awhile since I've eaten. Do you know if there are food places around here?" she asked, checking her pockets for any money they may have come with her. All she found were her yellow glasses she used to see through the television world's fog, although. "...Or nevermind, I guess my money didn't come with me to Vatheon."

[undie_boss]

Eikichi shook his head. "Some guy named Philemon gave it to me." He wouldn't doubt that other people got it other ways. There were other persona-users than just the 5 of them anyway. Anything was possible, especially if rumors ran rampant in her city too.

"Don't worry about it, babe," Eikichi grinned. "As long as you've got the mark, everything's free."

[yellowglasses]

"Philemon? I've never met someone by that name..I just got mine Tomoe by having to face the side of me that I was suppressing..we all did.."



Free? Right, Eikichi did say that already, didn't he. Chie had sort of forgotten it temporarily. "Oh, yeah I guess that goes with the whole God treatment doesn't it. I guess you told me but the fact you were a Persona user also made me forget a bit."

[undie_boss]

Eikichi shrugged. "Guess not everyone gets it that way." Side she was suppressing. Boy did that sound familiar. "Did you fight your own shadow too?"


He shrugged again. "Could be my amazing charm." Yeah, he couldn't resist throwing that out there.

Eikichi's image song just came on my playlist fff

[yellowglasses]

"Yeah, I did..she said some things I'm not exactly proud of, but I've tried to work on fixing those parts of me since." Thinking back on her shadow and the things it said about Yukiko made her sort of wince a bit. That was so long ago...

"Wh--What's that supposed to mean?" That caught her off guard a bit. "If it was anything like that it'd be because of your hair."

ROFL

[undie_boss]

He fell silent for a moment. He had to face his shadow too. He'd said so much that hurt but was true. The encounter was relatively recent, so he was still dealing with his shadow self.

But that didn't mean he couldn't throw out a vain word or two. "My hair is amazing, isn't it?" If she got to know him better, maybe he'd share some his past with her. Maybe. He wasn't all vanity and flair.

[ where did you get your P2 music? I only have ES's music but cannot for the life of me find a good collection of IS. I have the psp sound track but that only has 10 songs ]

[yellowglasses]

"Well, it's definitely the strangest hair I've seen. But I did come from a small country town, so it's not like there's anyone that out there like you in a place like that." Chie felt kind of bad making a rude comment about his hair a minute ago, but he didn't seem very phased by it, that was good.

[Youtube, haha. I used the youtube mp3 ripper to get all of the tracks from there since I couldn't find the album anywhere. ;-; I could maybe compile them into a zip for you or something?]

[undie_boss]

He grinned broadly. "I'm rather fond of it!" He did dye it, but here he didn't have to worry about washing the dye out every day. He could just leave it that way.

[ brilliant~! I would absolutely love that, if you don't mind doing it. ♥ ]

[yellowglasses]

"I can tell."

Chie was still hungry. "I'm going to get food I think. If you want to join me you can, I mean you just arrived too didn't you? You might be hungry also...but I still don't know what all there even is to eat in this place. Is the food even edible under the sea?"

[I'll message you a link~]

[undie_boss]

Eikichi grinned. If there was one thing he scoped out, it was food. He was rather picky, being a veterinarian. He had to keep that twiggy figure somehow, and he wanted to avoid sushi as much as possible. Under the sea made that seem rather difficult.

"I know a good noodle shop here."

[yellowglasses]

Noodles was definitely not the steak she had in mind, but it could do. She really needed some food in her.

"Alright, that sounds fine with me."

[undie_boss]

Eikichi wouldn't have been down with steak but he could've found an alternative. "This way," he nodded towards the plaza. The shop was nearby, looking more modern but still had good noodles.

[yellowglasses]

"Oh, this place looks better than I pictured for being a random Atlantis-like city restaurant." She looked around for a spot to sit but ended up just at the counter.

"Have you eaten here already or just hear about it? Everything at least smells delicious so far so I'm going to assume it really is good!"

[undie_boss]

"Pretty normal-looking, right?" Eikichi had the same idea when he'd first arrived. Then again, he thought this place was Atlantis, at first.

"Yeah, ate here yesterday. The place is the best."

[yellowglasses]

"The best, huh? Well I'll see about that!" Chie ordered the first thing basically she saw on their menu with meat also in it. She needed it, after all, if she was going to keep up her training regime even while stuck here in Vatheon.

"You know though, it is pretty suspicious they'd give us everything for free. There has to be something up we don't know about. There's no way otherwise this place could afford to give all these people wandering around all this stuff and be able to still keep these places open."

[undie_boss]

She did have a point. Eikichi had thought about it himself, but without rumors to go off, he didn't really have a place to start.

He shrugged. "Might as well enjoy it for now." It made sense to him. "None of the locals give a reason why. They clam up. They won't even gossip about it! Sheesh." Tatsuya was the thinker, not him, but he was here without the rest of his circle. At least he wasn't alone in the persona department.

[yellowglasses]

"Yeah, the fact they won't give any reason makes it even more suspicious though! It sort of gives me an uneasy feeling, but there's nothing I can do about it right now so I guess I have to agree."

Chie really wished her friends from back home were around, solving this sort of stuff was way easier with the rest of them. Alone she could piece things together after awhile, sure, but it just didn't happen as fast as with the group.

"Enjoying it for now should be fine, and I'll start by enjoying the food."

[undie_boss]

Eikichi had silently wished the same thing. For now, he was the only member of his circle of friends, but that didn't mean he couldn't find new ones to help solve the mystery of this place or ones that would make this place much better.

"Sounds like a great plan, babe."

[yellowglasses]

There was that word again.

"You sure do say 'babe' a lot.."
