A man walks through the doors, he'd wander toward the bar with a curious look on his face... The whole place seems new, and he's rather shocked he hadn't heard about its opening till now. He'd smile at the bartender as he takes a seat. "Good evening sir, so I'm curious, when did this place open up? I've heard nothing but good of it, and yet I've also heard nothing till a few days ago... Ah well I digress, Tatsuya Suou, and I'll take whatever the house suggests in tequila if you don't mind." If the man running the bar looked Tatsuya over, he'd note the black suit with a white coat under it. A red bow tie rests upon his neck as well. And the man's face appears older, lines running across it along with a few scars here and there. Still, he's at least dressed for the place... The look on his face, however, is rather curious. Thoughts running through his head as he looks about the room, the decor almost bringing to mind things he'd rather hope have nothing to do with a bar and restaurant.

Of the many high-class diners coming in, one pair may stand out to those who care to look. An older gentleman wearing a simple black suit holds the hand of a little girl, maybe thirteen or fourteen at oldest. The girl's eyes have a noticeable tint of blue, but its almost as if there's a faint white cloud hovering over them. The older man brings the girl with him to the front, and nods to the girl at the counter Gentleman: Ah yes, I do believe this is the place. You should have a reservation under the family name "Kohiyo". The girl doesn't have much to add at this point, seems used to this sort of thing, waiting to be seated. The girl stands close to the older man, much as one might stand by their parent or babysitter

The golden eye'd man would eye Tatsuya up and down as if he couldn't believe who was sitting in front of him. He would smile as his eyes almost looked a bit sad and hopeful at the same time. However, the blonde-haired man would quickly try to maintain a level of composure but a tinge of warmth could still be detected in his voice. "We've always been open, I suppose the easiest way to explain it is that we're often under the radar as far as a place like this can be. People just didn't notice us until a few days ago. Now let me think, Tatsuya. I believe you'd want something on a much stronger level than what most people get. I think I have just the thing." The man would then go over to the shelf and block it off from Tatsuya's view with his own body. He would then turn back towards the bar's counter with a golden bottle in hand. There was a symbol of wings detailed on the bottle's front and the label would simply read "Golden Wings". The Tequila inside was a deep golden color and sparkled every so often. He would pour it into a glass with a single cube of ice. The ice reflected the golden color and sparkled almost as if it was made of gold like the bottle. Finally, the man would slide the cup over to Tatsuya with a smile. The girl at the counter would perk up as she seemed to look down below the counter. In actuality she wouldn't be looking at a reservation list but rather at her own hands as if staring at them helped her remember every name on the list. Finally she would look up. Her eyes were cold as if lacking any emotion but she spoke respectfully and with great consideration. "Ah, yes. A waiter will be with you shortly, if I could just ask you to hold on a moment." As if he already knew the black haired boy would be up at the front in an instance before gesturing for to be followed without uttering a word. He would lead the older gentleman and the young girl to a small table in the corner of the restaurant before leaving them with menus. The menus would mostly feature steak and sushi based specialties based around different winged creatures. Of the choices the ones that stood out the most were the Golden Butterfly Roll which was a roll with a variety of different type of fish all with a special seasoning to make it appear golden. There was also the Pegasus wing steak which was a fine prime cut cooked to any specific preference. Finally there was also the Golden Wing specialty salad made with a variety of fresh vegetables for those who preferred something a little healthier. The salad could be served as a side dish as well.

"Stronger than normal eh? I can't say you're wrong on that count... Little odd you'd know that, but I'm not complaining." He'd look over the glass in front of him, that color is something else geez. Beyond that, there's this strange sparkling as well... Ah well, what's a little adventure for someone like him? This drink looks odd, but he's had worse no doubt. That in mind, Tatsu grins for a moment before downing the shot, he'd almost wince as the strength of it hits him, but the smirk on his face clearly says he enjoyed it. "Well, I can say you know your stuff, it's not often I have something that can nearly give me pause, so bravo to whoever's making this beauty of a drink... And, odd thing to ask, but have we met before perhaps? If not, I must say you remind me of a friend. A man who went by Philemon to be exact." The decor, those eyes and voice... Perhaps he's showing too many cards here, yet Tatsuya can't help himself from wondering as he looks at this place, what connection to those two is held inside this building?

The pair bow to the girl up front before following the waiter to their seating. Miss Kohiyo keeps a firm grip on her escort's hand, as though it somehow anchored her to the world. As such, she makes sure to sit rather close to him, the older gentleman nodding to the waiter as they receive their menus. Impatient, the girl pipes up Girl: What's it say? The older man chuckles to himself, used to her impatience by now, and slowly reads the menu off for her. While he does so the younger girl twirls her long, blonde hair between her fingertips, thinking about what might be best. After a while, the girl whispers something to the old man, who nods before waving to the waiter to let them know the pair is ready to order. When the waiter gets there the older man would squeeze the girl's hand, to let her know its her first. Girl: I'd like the golden butterfly roll, oh, but no shellfish. Shrimp doesn't go down very well. The older man smiles for a moment, before clearing his throat to remind the girl Gentleman: and what is it you'd like to drink milady? somewhat embarassed, the girl blushes a little before hastily blurting out Girl: J... Just some tea, is fine. Nothing too special. Satisfied, the older man would take his turn to order next, patting the girl on the back as he says Gentleman: I would simply like to try one of your salads. With water to drink. You'll know what its like when you get to my age, have to be careful with that sort of thing

The man almost seems to wince at the mention of Philemon before he looks as if he's remembering something fondly. For a moment Tatsuya could feel someone glaring at him as if not too pleased at his mention of Philemon. It would be the young boy with black hair. His red eyes locked on Tatsuya angrily for a moment before he would get back to work. The blonde-man would then answer Tatsuya in an almost distant and longing voice. "Sorry, I don't know anyone by that name. It's quite strange to hear that I'm similar to someone a strange knows. The world truly is full of wonderful things, isn't it?" Back at the table with the young girl and older gentleman the black haired boy would receive their orders before nodding. He would walk away once they're finished seemingly rather quickly. Almost as quickly as he left he'd return with water and tea. He would drop off the drinks with almost a seemingly forced smile. It would look genuine enough to trick most but this was a result of some actual joy he felt while working or perhaps a great skill in faking a smile. Finally the boy would speak. His tone was rough and unnatural but clear enough to be heard. "I'll be right back with your order. Thank you for dining with us." With that he would walk away most likely to the kitchen area.

The pair nod gratefully before the waiter rushes off. The young girl begins sipping her tea and returns to playing with her hair. A moment passes before she comments Girl: He sounded kinda rude. The older gentleman sighs and adjusts his collar a little, of course children were known to speak their mind, the gentleman of course, noticed something off with the boy, but chalked it up to nothing important Gentleman: To be fair, this probably isn't the kind of job he wanted. Still, I'd think their hiring procedures would be a bit... Stricter. That girl up front must be some sort of genius if she can get away with paying so little attention. The girl sighs and continues sipping her tea, not like she would have noticed that anyways. The gentleman takes this break as a good time to begin drinking himself as the pair wait for their actual meal

"Wonders indeed my friend, well, how much do I owe you for that anyways? Hah, good thing I'm not hurting for work around here, otherwise getting that without thinking might have been bad." He'd wait for a moment, paying the man whatever he's due before nodding in thanks and walking off... That boy, with red eyes, is something else huh? Tatsuya would lean against a wall, waiting till the boy passes him before making an inquisitive gesture and examining him more closely, there's a certain feel to those who are using Nyarly's power without bothering to hide it, and he's curious if this child has it. "Hello there, well you had quite the reaction to that name, didn't you? If I had to wager, those eyes of yours quite remind me of someone called Nyarlathotep... Now, I'm not looking to cause trouble, but this entire place screams of my past dealings so. Do you mind explaining why that is?" Despite how suspect he is, Tatsuya's voice would sound fairly friendly and curious. If one had great skill in reading people they might well notice what he's thinking, but the man's trying to come off as simply a bit bored and looking for something to do, rather than betraying his true thoughts of paranoia and plans to force people from the building as fast and safe as possible.

The blonde-haired man would smile warmly before answering Tatsuya with a kind voice. His eyes were sparkling with a reminiscent light all the while. "On the house this time, you could call it a favor from the owner." As Tatsuya walked away he would simply return to cleaning glasses for any new customers that might approach. He would put the bottle away too, stowing it under the bar counter. The black-haired boy would come back out to the table and drop off a plate with Butterfly sushi made to look golden with a secret ingredient that also served to enhance the flavor of the roll quite a bit. He also remembered to bring it out with no shrimp. On another plate would be the salad which was lightly seasoned and decorated with a side of dressing that had a golden color as well to it. The leaves of the salad would be a variety of mixed herbs of the freshest quality and if used the dressing would act to compliment the flavor of the leaves rather than overpowering them. It seem despite his cold attitude he truly did care about the quality of his work as it was the boy preparing all the food himself. He almost seemed to speak with more passion this time. "I truly hope you enjoy the food. Let me know if you need anything else." Finally he would run by Tatsuya who just by mentioning Nyarlathotep's name would gain the boy's attention as he glared coldly back at Tatsuya. His tone would match his eyes as he spoke harshly and without any kindness. "None of your business. You got a drink already now why don't you leave. I'm not paid to deal with people like you and I thought I already made myself clear that this place has been around a while."

Made himself clear? But they're just now... Well well, this kid is quite helpful despite clearly aiming to be the reverse of that. Heh. "Made yourself clear? Despite me having only spoken to the bartender, well it is quite useful to be informed that everyone working here is more akin to a single being than actual distinct people. Were you aiming to help me out? Or just doing so by not thinking your words through?" He'd smirk at the boy, a curious look shining in Tatsuya's eyes as he glances over to the girl working the desk for a moment. Next stop if this doesn't go anywhere, but for now he's still focused on Nyarly-Kid.

The boy would suddenly grow flustered as if he wasn't aware of what he just said until it was pointed out. "I...I just misspoke. I heard you over at the bar...a-and I just..." His face would turn a deep shade of red as if he was forcing his words out. "I-I aspire...to be like my older brother...s-so much..." He almost looked as if he was about to throw up in his mouth a little before he would quickly walk away from Tatsuya and into the kitchen of the restaurant. He looked as though he was getting a fever as he walked away.

The older man seems a little surprised at how fast the service was, but he figures they probably have a significant staff back there. He smiles warmly at the boy and waves Gentleman: Very well, we'll be sure to call upon you. The girl, on the other hand, after locating her utensils, and poking around the roll for a moment, would begin eating the sushi without saying a word to either of her companions. The older gentleman sighs and, apparently with little more to do, slowly begins to eat his own meal. Both were used to fine dining such as this, but something about the secret ingredient brings a little light to the girl's eyes, and after getting a little taste she begins eating with gusto. The older man smiles before tapping the plate in front of her with his own Gentleman: Remember your manners Risako, the food won't be going anywhere soon. Risako blushes a little and slows down, making sure to sit up straight to the chair, attentive to any conversation that might pass her way

The black haired boy would walk through a door into the kitchen in a hurry. If Tatsuya chose to enter through this door it would extend into a long hallway with a strange black coloration. The halls almost looked to be veins and would pulsate every so often. Along the hallway were many doors. The boy would already be near the end of the hallway opening the door at the end which would be the fourth door in the hall. The blonde-man would approach the blue haired firl at the counter with a serious look. He would begin whispering in her ear. Only someone with superb hearing might be able to make out his words. "Mimi, Tsukiya had a strange conversation with Mr. Suou. Do you believe we'll be okay. You know how disdainful we can be. Or at least Tsukiya's part of us. Should your aspect not keep things under control." The girl would just look back at him with tired eyes and smile as if she didn't hear him. The blonde man would sigh slightly as if knowing her intent already.

Tatsuya stares at the hallways... Goddamnit, just once he'd like to be wrong about thinking there's magic in a place. Well, at least it's not just blind paranoia. He sighs and creeps after the boy, aiming to reach the doorway and look through the keyhole for a moment. He's not keen on going in there, but he's rather curious about the things going on back here. "Geez, what a night already. Hopefully, it doesn't turn into something major, but I can't just leave this madness be..."

The voice of the kid from before would speak out as Tatsuya would feel a familiar presence surround him. It felt dark and twisted as if all the despair and hopelessness in the world was surrounding him. "Tatsuya Suou, why did someone like you have to show up? Can you not just leave things alone? I should just get rid of you right now...Yeah, that'd be better for everyone involved." The room would now light up with an eerie red light revealing the boy now surrounded with a swarm of black butterflies. They would fly around his body in a wave as if they were all connected in some way. With a flick of his hand the butterflies would fly out towards Tatsuya in an attempt to land on him before radiating with a cold aura causing ice to form where they land. More butterflies would begin slowly gathering around the boy as if he was the source of them all.

"Wow, I go checking into things and you try to kill me? And here I was hoping we could just swap cooking tips! Well if it has to be this way, COME OUT APOLLO!" Flames dance around the man for a moment, a silver revolver taking shape in Tatsuya's hands as a masked figure in red appears behind him. Apollo would toss a huge wall of flames in front of Tatsuya, the roaring fire cutting off entry to the man's position and hopefully roasting anything that tries to come near. A few butterflies, however, did make it inside, and he'd wince as their icy attacks strike him, that said the man simply orders his gun to fire flames and blasts the things off himself. It hurt a bit, but he's mostly fine, and would then call out to his enemy. "I'm really not looking to hurt anyone ya know, just curious about what's going on here. I can't allow you to cause people harm or something, but if all you guys are doing is cooking then I'd be willing to leave, as for leaving things alone? Afraid I can't when lives might be on the line."

The boy would just begin tapping his foot in frustration as if only being made angrier by Tatsuya's comments. He would reply in a sharp angry tone as if he had lost all sense of rationality he might have had. "Hurt anyone? Of course, you'd assume that! You always go making accusations like that! Why did you come here? To spout gibberish?" The butterflies would begin clustering more and more around him before melting together into pure shadows. They would swirl around him like they were a sort of liquid. Pressing his hand to the wall the shadows would begin melding to them before crawling down towards Tatsuya and past the wall of flames. "Are you afraid? No one can ever escape the shadows!" His eyes would be wild and full of a deep red glow as if he was channeling something else. He would laugh slightly as the shadows would extend out into sharp dagger like constructs but then suddenly before hitting Tatsuya they would begin to fade as the boy falls to the ground shaking. From behind Tatsuya the girl from the from would be walking in with tired eyes. Something about her expression seemed more agitated than before as if this was the last thing she wanted to be doing. The blonde haired individual would be following behind her. The blonde haired man would be the one to speak to Tatsuya. "I apologize for our other self's behavior. He is still but a child but please allow the true self to take care of this."

The gun and Persona both fade to nothing, he's willing to hear these two out given the fact that they aren't attacking him... Part of him thinks it might be a trap, but he'll extend a bit of good faith to the guy given what he's starting to think these 3 are. "It's fine, he's... Well, I don't think he was much of a threat to me. Some kinda control over most elements or something? Or he just happens to cast ice and dark spells, either way, I wasn't gonna hurt the kid too bad, uh..." He'd dust himself off, bits of water and butterflies clinging to his suit. Then, Tatsuya bows to the two for a moment, not really taking his eyes off, but clearly apologizing. "I should also Apologize, I'm... Not too comfortable with things like uh, what this place is. Brings back a lot of bad memories honestly, and I have a bad habit of thinking the worst when dealing with beings beyond the normal. I'd do it again to be honest, but sorry for rushing back here. Anyways, given that you two are uh, not trying to kill me I'm gonna leave things be." That being said and done, he'd then look around the room once again. Rather curious about both whatever this place is, and the state of the boy... Regardless, he'd turn back to them and go on. "Anyways, lemme take a guess as to what you lot are, and tell me how far off it is... In so far as I can tell, you Mr. Golden Eyes, are somehow or another a fragment of Philemon split off from the main being. Maybe even not entirely aware of what he knows? Yet your knowledge of me... Moving on, the boy over there, part of the Crawling Chaos from what I was feeling when he called upon that power. Not as openly dark and dangerous, yet still quite something not quite right." He then turns his eyes to the girl, her he's far less sure of, and can't take such a good guess of her nature because of it. "As for you, I honestly am not sure, you don't strike me as one of those yet you are clearly connected to it all... Curious indeed."

The girl would almost look disappointing as she looked over to Tatsuya. A swarm of blue butterflies would for a moment flicker around her before she finally spoke in an almost condescending tone. "You don't remember me? I guess you are getting old but it shouldn't be too long ago now. Only a year. Perhaps this could give you a better idea..." Suddenly the black haired boy from before as well as the older blonde man would begin glowing with their respective colors of gold and black. They would be reduced to mere butterflies that shined more brightly than the others before flying to the girl and sinking into her. Her eyes would begin to light up as her hair shifted to a white and a swarm of the blue butterflies would surround her body obscuring it completely. The room they were in would go completely white before opening into a seemingly endless void. The face and form of the being before Tatsuya would seem to shift a hundred times over. At times they would flash between people Tatsuya recognized. People he knew that were now dead before settling on a familiar face of Lux but with eyes that shined with a light blue light. "Oh, my mistake. This no doubt will confuse you more. This was just one of the first forms from your mind that I could recall. To put it simply, in this form you may simply refer to me as Persona. Most of your assumptions are correct but the other aspects of myself have completely separated from Philemon and the Crawling Chaos. During a bit of panic I was finally able to escape from the world of shadows created by the Crawling Chaos. That is when I fully was able to separate from them both, however, certain memories carry over that I can not be rid of."

Getting old... Bah, he knows exactly who she is now, he's just a bit stunned that she's not dead all things considered. Geez, maybe one day he should tell Sayaka her "pet" didn't die. "Mimi then, the butterfly they were once inside... Honestly, I took ya as dead back then so it wasn't the first guess I'd have made, though uh I'm glad I was wrong... Anyways, sorry for troubling you all, but I guess I'll be going, unless you needed something? Well, I'm sure you'll see me around sometime." With that, he'd begin to depart from the building. Actually rather glad to find out that seemingly nothing too awful is going on... He can't be completely sure, but he's willing to simply hear their last few words and go home for now. Happy enough with the knowledge he's gained, and at this point looking for more would just be needless paranoia even to him.

Once again the being would separate into three as the building returned to normal. The girl would speak once again in a tired tone as if even just being in the three's true form for a while tired her out. "Actually, only I'm Mimi. It was a name to *Yawn* tie us to reality. So we wouldn't lose our human-" She would fall asleep on the spot being caught by the blonde haired man as the black hair boy simply leaned on the wall slightly dazed and still shaking a bit from before. The blonde haired man would speak to Tatsuya in a calm and warm voice. "You may leave if you wish but I ask that you keep our existence a secret. Perhaps it may not make sense but beings like us would no doubt be looked at with contempt."

"Aye aye, I may be a demon hunter but I don't feel the need to stir up some crazed mob or anything. You guys don't seem to be hurting anyone as far as I can tell, no reports of people getting sick from here, nobody going missing... Honestly, I came for a drink, till I felt Crawling Chaos and Philemon crap anyways, so my lips are sealed, good sir!" With that, he'd offer a casual wave and walk away from the building. If they do pull anything that's on him, but he doesn't want to just shoot without even giving a chance to these people. So that in mind, Tatsuya simply walks away, going home to take off this stupid suit and get back to normal. A small smile creeping across his face as he leaves.
