vatheon | THE MUSE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT.

Who: Kanji Tatsumi and YOU.
Where: Cozi Corner restaurant.
When: Right now. About 10 minutes after he woke up from hiatus-induced sleep.
Style: [ Action! ], but if you're more comfortable with prose, I'm cool with that too.
Status: Open like his bathhouse, man.

[ Upon awakening from one of the most comfortable slumbers he had ever had in his entire life, Kanji realized two things. First, his room stank something similar to moth balls stuffed in closets that were already centuries old to begin with. Second, his stomach growled like you wouldn't believe; it even shocked poor old Kanji.

He was almost ready to admit that he simply had a metabolism faster than he was aware of. And that his thirty minute power nap used up all of his three-course meal's stored energy. He was almost ready to admit that.

But then, Kanji saw his SFC, and the current date that it flashed on its little screen. ]

[ After a few healthy, and unexpectedly original!, shouts and curses into the air, Kanji also realized his roommates were not around, and the kitchen was empty. ]

[ Hence, dear passerby, this image of Kanji currently sitting alone inside Cozi Corner, three piles of plates and bowls speedily increasing in height next to him. His gaze is fixed on his food, which kept on coming from the kitchen like an assembly line. The chef glances outside his work station once in a while, looking frighteningly worried. Still, he continues to serve Kanji's orders. Speaking of... ]

[ The ~~boy~~ man in question wipes his mouth with his forearm and burps slightly, before dropping the once pristine white bowl on top of the second pile of dirty dishes. It may or may not have been the home to the largest order for chicken curry. He exhales heavily and waves towards the kitchen. ]

Yo! Can I get an extra order for pot stickers, Chinese shrimp and leek fried rice, miso soup, and barbequed pork meat buns?

[ He pauses. ]

Oh, and uhh, add five more orders of egg rolls! A-And crispy noodles, if you still have 'em!

[ Kanji rubs his hands together, then chugs down a cold soda. He grins as soon as he finishes his cup. ] Phew! See, stupid-cursed-bubble-city? You make me fall asleep for nearly two months and you unleash the beast! Damn, I. am. starving! C'mon, chef! BRING IT ON!

[ In his excitement, Kanji bangs his fists heavily against the table, making it wobble violently. The piles of dishes next to him end up dangerously close to the edge, but otherwise stay still. Hooboy.

WHO WANTS TO JOIN HIM FEAST? HE HAS THE BEST TABLE MANNERS, I SWEAR ON MY LIFE. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ even with the mumps, Eikichi has to eat. And so the twig found himself at the restaurant, working on some udon and seaweed soup (vegetarian all the way) when he overhears Kanji (though it's very doubtful Kanji's very quiet anyway, just like the dear blue-hair here). He turns to Kanji from a nearby table. ]

Sleep for two months?! The hell?

[ Kanji blinks and turns around to face the source of the sudden surprised voice. He wipes the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand before speaking. ]

Yeah, damn city does that to you sometimes. Can't really do anythin' about it, which fuckin' pisses me off...[ Kanji rolls his eyes and munches on some appetizers. He realizes that this guy is either a newbie, or has never experienced cursed magical sleep before. He's more willing to be on the former. ] How long have ya been here?

[ he'd heard of weird things so far (experienced it first hand too), but never extreme sleeping. Now Eikichi did like his beauty sleep, but two months was RIDICULOUS. ]

Damn city. I've been here a month and all it's done is make me chase mice all over the place and get the mumps! [ speaking of mumps, he seems to be suffering from a rather large one right now. ]

[ He hummed. ] Huh. So you are a newb...'ve been here for almost a year now. I think. [ Kanji pauses in thought. ] Yeah, more or less.

[ Mumps? His eyes immediately glance at his neck, and holy crap was that a mump. Kanji may or may not have backed up his chair a little bit, suddenly a few centimeters away from him. ]

W-Whoa, get that checked will ya!? There's a clinic here ya know! T-That stuff's contagious, right...? Had that when I was a kid!

[ newb? Normally that bothered him but it was true. he was a newb here. ]

Medicine won't get rid of it! It's the stupid bubble's fault! It did this to my beautiful face! [ neck, but that doesn't sound so narcissistic... ] I'm 17, not 5. I shouldn't be getting the mumps!

[ adding more because Chie totally described Kanji to a T. Like really well. ]

Heeey. Your name's not Kanji, is it?

[ Kanji just eyes at him for a bit, before he steps back into his proper place in front of the table. He shrugs. It made more sense that way, though now he was slightly more thankful that he wasn't awake for this particular curse. ]

So they're magic mumps, huh? Welp, you ain't got much of a choice then, man. Just wait it out; it'll be gone in like, a week or something.

[ He was pretty confident in that. If it was curse-induced like he said, then it was almost 100% certain it would go away on its own. Kanji was just about to dig into the first plate of fresh egg rolls the waiter placed on his table until he mentioned his name. The teenager looked back and blinked confusedly. ]

Huh? Uhh, yeah. That's me. [ Blink. ] Do I...know you? I mean, we haven't met before, have we? 'Cuz shit, that'd be embarrassin'. S-Sorry.

[ Eikichi shakes his head and shrugs too. ]

It's gotta be another damn curse.

[ Souji did say they were weird. ]

Nah, Chie described you perfectly. She said you were a friend and that you might be here.

[....Whoa wait what. ]

She told you about me? Huh. [ Then, Kanji frowns. ] The hell did she tell you?

That you were her friend and a persona user. We're seeing how many persona-users are actually stuck here.

[ Kanji chewing slows down and he shrugs. ]

Man, didn't know we were allowed to actually just go out and tell people all about it. So? Spill. How many are we around? And heh, glad you ain't freakin' out about the whole thing. [ He grins. ]

It wouldn't be a bad idea to group together. We found around 5 so far. And believe me, I've seen weirder.

[ He's about to comment on grouping together - he always liked the idea of being part of a group, and even in Vatheon, his circle is growing every day - but something is off about that. Kanji quirks an eyebrow up and pauses, before he almost spits out his food in sudden realization. ]

Holy crap, does that mean you're a Persona user too?!

That's right. [ he seems smug about this for some reason. ]

[ He blinks in amazement. So besides Minato-senpai's group, there was this guy... ]

Y-You have any friends from your world that have Persona's too?

[ he shakes his head, frowning. ]

Not here. Seems I'm the only one here from Sumaru

Sumaru? Huh...a-and didja get your Personas the same way I did? Through the TV world? [ /ignoring food for now brb. ]

Nah, I've had one for awhile. Thought it was a Shinigami at my command at first. [ so he says nonchalantly. ]

A...what? Shinigami? Like the ones in the temples? [ Is he right on the money here or what. Oh my god there might be more than one type of Persona in that case ksdgjsdg Kanji, relax. ]

Yeah, a death god. Turns out I'm just aligned with the death arcana.

[ His eyes widen. ]

F-For real!? So you got all those Mudo spells up in your deck, or something?

Mudo and aqua, yeah. [ even if aqua doesn't exist past P2 ]
