Mig was bored. And in Shibuya. So what did Mig do? Break into Kalib's GYM of course! Don't ask how, and ignore the fact the front door is off its hinges....
Oddly, Kalib's note is still in one piece on the propped up door.

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.
*He walks in through the torn off door muttering about something with a sliver revolver in his hand* Alright whoever's broken in here hands up now!
*Sneaks in with Migrant. Breaking an extra window for good measure. She then takes off her paint mask*
We have arrived to make use of this holy compound in the name of the broken brilliance and House Adachi!

Indeed we have. *goes to do some exercise when Tatsu arrives, Mig putting her hands up immediately!*
You won't shoot me! I will love for EVAH! *opens her arms. She realized fully it was Tatsuya but was playing along regardless*
*Aitome notices the broken door and decides to check it out, dashing from cover to cover, before entering in, hopefully curiosity doesn't kill our cat.
*He sighs as the gun vanishes into his hand forming a tattoo in it's shape*
Christ you two did ya have to kill the door? I mean we just leave a Damm key under the mat now to avoid things like this happening.
*He shakes his head and walks behind the counter* So then there anything I can get anyone?

Eh, destroying the door was more fun.
And I'm really just here to stay in practice. Things have gotten so quiet suddenly I'm just kinda waiting for the next major thing.

Oh Brother Tatsuya, one day you will learn to appreciate the BROKEN things in life!
I will request the most exotic and delightful of Earl Grey for myself and Sister Migrant should she desire

Oh, how boring, its just Black Mask, Red Coat and Saki, I thought something more interesting was about to happen, guess not.
*Aitome steps out into the light and waves his hand
So what is this place again? I cant read the sign.

It's GYM, did the equipment, training dummies, and arena not give that away?
Gym? Never been to one before, I suppose I haven't gone to allot of places now that I think of it.. at any rate an arena? Like a fighting arena? That sounds kinda strange.
*He walks into the back and several minutes later comes out with a kettle* Earl Grey coming right up Sayaka, *he sets it down on the counter along with... 5 cups for some reason* So then what brings you here tonight anyways?
*He glances at Ai and sighs* It's a GYM Aitome ya know mostly for training in fights and working out? *He pauses* Though I'm actually trying to make it a hangout spot of sorts these days as well.

7 dieties bless you, Brother Tatsuya! *she sips it, sitting down surprisingly quietly as she enjoys her drink*
Training and fighting? Hmm, I suppose it's akin to a dojo? I don't see how it could be a hangout spot but I suppose it could work.
*Aitome then takes a cup of tea while continuing
So you own the place? I could see that.

*He laughs and makes a so so gesture* Kinda sorta but not really, I only run it when Kalib is gone but at this point he's gone so much I'm basically a co-owner really.
I walk in twirling my cane. "Ah I see this is back up, and oh my this will be fun." I walk over and headpat Aitome and Mig. "Ello you two, up for some training?"
*walks in looking fabulous*
WHY HELLO THERE!
WHY HELLO THERE!
Oh, hey Mr.Carnival, how are you doin- NYA!
*Aitome then jumps back at the sudden pat, eyes flaring red as he hisses back, while hissing revealing a pair of fox fangs before returning back to normal
I-idiot what was that for!

*He waves at Aincrad and Bona* Yo, welcome to GYM an all that. *He gives Bona a stern look* And please keep your voice down Bona, this place may have overly loud battles but it's no reason to shout.
Chuckling I lean on my cane. "Two reasons, one is to see that beautiful reaction, and two is to see if it still affects you. Heh, I guess it still does." I give them a sly smile. "And I'm doing perfect how about you sis?" I wave my cane around to everyone else. "And all of you as well. How are thoust?"
*Puts down her tea as the room is addressed, looking to Aincrad* Salutations, thee who has the most delightful taste in hats! I have come to stea- I mean, to enjoy the tea with Sister Migrant of course!
Eh, it's been okay lately. I dunno, I've got this weird feeling something life-changing is about to happen...
*He gives Sayaka a curious look* I'm almost sure I heard you say steal, but I like you enough I probably wouldn't notice anything. *He winks at her and takes a glass of tea then sips from it*
You really should say when your gonna do that you know! I still have Korumi in me! Honestly! Idiot!
*Aitome then crosses his arms before turning away still speaking
And yes its still affecting me, quite badly actually.
*Aitome then scratches his head,

*Leo walks into the gym wondering where he has ended up this time.*
This place is kinda strange, one minute I'm at a bar in snowy weather the next I'm in some sort off...hey, this place looks a bit like Libra...
*Leo looks around the gym curiously with his eyes still closed.*

*Leo looks around the gym curiously with his eyes still closed.*
*He looks at Leo and waves then smiles* Hey there don't think we've met have we? Name's Tatsuya Suou by the way welcome to GYM, so can I get you anything? And what's this about snow? *He raises an eyebrow*
*Aitome then notices the new person, turning towards him
Oh, hey there, are you new here? Names Aitome Korichi, nice to meet you, are you blind?
Oh, hey there, are you new here? Names Aitome Korichi, nice to meet you, are you blind?
I bow towards Adachi. "Why thank you, added a few little of mine own flourishes to the original so I'm thankful it looks good. Also no worries, tea time sounds fantastic." I wink at her before turning to Mig and replacing my hat. "Well if it's a bad event, I'll be right behind you willing to help. All you need is to call me, that's what friends are for mein freund." Spinning once more. "No worries there sis. Korumi loves me! Or at least loves Shadow. And don't worry I'm working on a counter agent, but the magic keeps shifting so you might have to wait a touch longer."
I turn to Leo. "Ello dear person, welcome to the most wonderful training dojo around! Because I'm pretty sure it's the only one!"
*Leo looks towards Tatsuya with his eyes closed.*
Oh, there was just randomly snow outside but it seems to be gone now...I probably sound a bit crazy saying that, don't I? Uh, my name is Leonardo Watch, it's nice to meet you.
*Leo walks up to Tatsuya and holds out his hand while smiling.*

*Leo walks up to Tatsuya and holds out his hand while smiling.*
*Leo looks at Aitome genuinely comfused.*
Blind? Why would you think that?
Blind? Why would you think that?
*He laughs and shakes Leo's hand* Crazy around anywhere else sure, but in this place random snow in the middle of Summer is a semi frequent thing honestly... *
He frowns* Probably Star's fault knowing her actually. *He shrugs* Oh well she means well I think, and yeah nice to meet you. Oh by the way what's a Libra? Heard you say GYM looks like the place so hey maybe I should check it out sometime!

[The shy boy enters the GYM with his permanent, curious smile. He plays with his hair as he looks around the room, trying to completely understand how they work. He's never been to one of those.]
I don't like physical exercise all that much...but still, so new...!
[He mutters, with a slight blush on his cheeks]

[He mutters, with a slight blush on his cheeks]
Hey, someone else who knows the joy of the snow! Though... you can open your eyes...
Sigh... I wouldn't be so sure about that... but we can ask cant we?
*Aitome then closes his eyes, when he openes them they are red and his hair has also changed color
Heyo! Your my friend right Aincard! Even Shadow is! So your pretty good in my book! I still wouldn't hesitate to hit you though!
*Korumi then does a peace sign before turning to Leo
Well you aren't opening your eyes for one! But you can walk normally so what do I know!
*Aitome then closes his eyes, when he openes them they are red and his hair has also changed color

*Leo backs away a bit flustered.*
Uh...Just forget about that...it's nothing. Libra is...Uh, just a game! Yeah, it's nothing more than that so you don't need to worry about it!

*Leo looks confused at Migrant's comment.*
Open my eyes? Uh, I guess I could open them more but...I probably shouldn't.
Open my eyes? Uh, I guess I could open them more but...I probably shouldn't.
Aincrad chuckles and leans back, before turning and walking to the boxing ring. "Tell that to Sis Korumi, I'm not sure she believes me." He takes off his hat and puts down his cane in a corner. "Anyone up for a sparring match? If you aren't sure with how to defend yourself completely without a Persona, I could help there."
*Looks at Tatsuya and gives off a chuunibyo laugh* But of course, I'm absolutely innocent! I-It's not like I'm having trouble with money or anything!
*He smirks* Of course just like demons are only stories and magic doesn't exist right? *He shrugs* Ah well if you can't or won't say it's understandable and I'll not pry.
*He smiles at Kazuma*
Oh hey there how's it going man? Found out anything interesting lately?
*He smiles at Kazuma*
Oh hey there how's it going man? Found out anything interesting lately?
*He frowns and gives Sayaka a troubled look* Well of course not Sayaka but if for some strange reason you did have money trouble you do know you could always come to me right? *He attempts a reassuring smile*
Why would that be a bad thing? You take souls with your eyes or something?
What do you mean you can't? Come on! It can't be that bad! Show us!
*Korumi then turns to Aincard, speaking in an annoyed voice
She can already hear us you know, all of us hear the same thing, its just that only 1 of us can speak and move, its weird but you get used to it!
*Korumi then turns to Aincard, speaking in an annoyed voice

Ah!
[Kazuma almost loses his balance when Tatsuya talks to him, but he calms down as fast as he can, shaking his head and playing with his hair.]
W-Well, I learned abou-about this game called "Duel Monsters"...a-and Mister Gamma was super cool in it...!
I-I also went to a bar and met with Mister Detective a-and this man...J-Jin Kisaragi who...I-I think knew about M-M-M-Mister Terumi...and al-also saw a girl t-that looked a-and felt like M-Miss Trinity...!
[Kazuma hides his face even more after giving out so much information.]
I...I-I'm very sorry, I was being a little bit loud...

*He sighs and rolls his eyes*
Sorry about Aitome's rudeness, he's a good guy but he doesn't know when you shouldn't poke at people sometimes...
*He looks curiously at Leo* I won't deny being interested myself but if you don't want to don't feel pressured.

*Leo laughs at Migrant's comment and then smiles back.*
Nothing like that...Uh, my eyes are just a bit strange is all. I can't really go around showing them off because...they might scare people off.

Aincrad chuckles and Shadow partially forms near him. "Well for us it's a touch different, we could try teaching you if you want?"
*He laughs and waves it off before leaning against the counter* Geez calm down I don't bite, and Terumi huh? I met him once though briefly... *He grimaces* Why are you interested in someone like that?
*He smirks at Leo with confidence* Scare? Hah after all the things we've seen it'd take way more then some weird eyes to scare us!
Me?!? Why you singling me out Tatsu? Im an honest to god good person! See!
*Korumi then gives Tatsuya a look with puppy eyes before turning to leo with a smug grin
Ah! I doubt you could scare us! Most of us fight horrors on a day to day basis!
*Korumi then gives Tatsuya a look with puppy eyes before turning to leo with a smug grin

Psh, not much can scare me. Except evil, evil can totally scare me when it wants to.
*Leo seems more flustered than before.*
Well, none of you seem necessarily bad...Nobody here is connected to the black market or anything, right?

W-Well...back in my world, he s-suddenly showed up to me and told me t-to look for the "Azure", a-and if I did, my memories would come back...
[Kazuma stays quiet for a moment and his right hand trembles.]
H-He had green, spiky hair, golden, snake-like eyes...and a terrifying aura...I-I don't know if he's to be t-trusted but...he has this familiar air t-to him, and m-maybe h-he really is the key t-to my past...
T-That is why...!

You dont get it do you Aincard? Should have expected it from a moron like you!
*Korumi sticks out her tounge and pulls down her eyelid before responding again
I can totally leave this body but it kinda hurts! And its not exactly like I wanna do anything outside this body! Its much more fun messing around in here! Snarking at Ai's incompetence!
*Korumi sticks out her tounge and pulls down her eyelid before responding again

*Nods* Yeah... I want to be more independent, like Oniichan. It's just me and Hax at the obsolete suite, and Oniichan sends me allowance, but making enough money to live on is hard. I can't go back to my parents' place...
"Please no ones scared Leo. I've battled literal demons. I'm pretty sure I'm safe."
Aincrad grins and mock punches the air. "Want to say that to my face Korumi? Or are you too scared?" He sticks his own tongue out and waves her over. "Cmon, afraid that without your powers the moron will beat you? How cowardly."
*He laughs at Aitome's act and gives a watching you gesture* Yeah I know ya are an but that doesn't stop you from speaking before you think sometimes.
*He nods in agreement* Of course that being said I do agree with you, bet you'd be amazed by the things I've seen Leonardo...
*He pauses in reflection* Hell sometimes even I have a hard time believing everything that's happened, and that's just before I came here, *he whistles* Nexus is a whole nother level of crazy even for a man who's hunted demons for near 20 years.
*He looks furious as fire seems to slowly gather around him*
Black market? Tch you're telling me people would try an sell your eyes, nah far as I there's no scum like that around here... *He notices the flames behind him and puts them out* Tch if anyone tries I'll be happy to take care of them for you in fact.

Connected to the black market? No! Don't be silly! I doubt such a thing even exists! I mean what would you buy? Nothing is outlawed here as far as I know it!
Black market? Me? Why, I am merely the one chosen by the broken brilliance! There is only room for the black arts in House Adachi, not markets! *she smiles confidently at Leo, pretty sure about all of what she just said*
I don't THINK I'm connected to anything evil...
*Leo looks somewhat reassured.*
You kind of remind me of a friend of mine, Tatsuya, but a lot less crude. I guess it'd be fine to open my eyes a little more.
*Leo's eyes begin to open slowly at first before opening all at once to reveal that the entirety of his eyes glows with a blue light.*
Yeah, I can see everything much more clearly now...

Welp you asked for it! Here goes nothing!
*Korumi then switches back to pale eyes and hair, and Aitome speaks again
Sigh... are we really doing this? Sheesh...
*Aitome then puts his hands on his heart as a ball of red energy gets sucked out, when its completely out Aitome throws it towards Mr.Carnival as it forms into Korumi mid air, thowing a punch at him, Aitome then looks around confused for a second
A: Hm? Where am I again? And what do you mean Red Coat? Speaking before I think?
*Korumi then switches back to pale eyes and hair, and Aitome speaks again

Aincrad chuckles and sidesteps nonchalantly before connecting a quick punch to Korumis side. "Nice opener. Quick, fast, but you spent too much time preparing. I read it a mile away."
In the meanwhile Shadow forms besides Aitome. "Yeah sadly they are going for it sis, and that's pretty cool Leo, what happened to cause that?"
In the meanwhile Shadow forms besides Aitome. "Yeah sadly they are going for it sis, and that's pretty cool Leo, what happened to cause that?"
*He frowns at Kazuma's story and gives him a concerned look* Be very careful about that man, the one time we met he tried to kill my friends and I for no reason as far as anyone could tell. Said he's got a burning hate for humanity too...
I'm not sure what that man is or what he plans but Terumi is a killer that I can tell you for sure.
*He smiles at Sayaka*
Well I understand not wanting to be stuck relying on people that way yeah... *He chuckles* Hey if you wanted could always work with me for a while, though uh not really sure demon hunting is a career choice I can recommend you?
*He looks curiously at Leo*
That's quite an interesting skill yeah, tch no surprise people would want something like that, I'm guessing the lights aren't just for show or something.

Huh... that's some blue eyes there.... almost as blue as Ami's.....
*blinks a bit to try and adjust to the glow*
*blinks a bit to try and adjust to the glow*
*Leo shows a bit of reluctance at Aincrad's question.*
That's not exactly a pleasant memory...
*He hears Tatsuya's question.*
All they really do is help me see more clearly though a lot of people seem to want them for some reason.

See more clearly huh? *He shrugs* Sounds like a neat trick but I really don't get the fuss. Everyone in this building right now has supernatural power of some kind so you should fit right in... Oh wait Kazuma doesn't my bad.
*Korumi then smiles, taking the punch non nonchalantly, leaving no mark, as a flaming fist comes around his back hitting him towards Korumi as she swings another one, trying to initiate a form of juggling as the flame hits Aincard back to Korumi and back to Aincard
K: there is a reason we dont do this normally! It takes a while and one of us wont remember some things, so only one of us can really fight!
*Aitome then notices Onii chan and the bright light covering his eyes a bit with his arms
Really? Sigh.. at any rate those are some bright eyes. Kinda blinding me...

[Kazuma's curiosity just kept growing and growing. He nods at Tatsuya with his usual smile, and then turns to Leonardo.]
I...I think I understand, too...I would love t-that kind of ability, m-maybe with them, I'll be able t-to look into my past...!
I-I'm so jealous, you have such a great ability...

*Leo looks down a little.*
Maybe, but these eyes...nevermind.
*Leo looks back up and forces a smile.*
I can't use them all the time, it starts to get a bit tiring.

*Leo looks back up and forces a smile.*

Demon hunting, hmm? Well, if it pays, it is viable. Point me towards the target and it shall me DELETED!
Aincrad chuckles as he gets juggled. "You know? That ain't exactly fair. Here I said a fair fight. And here you are giving me a relaxing massage." He ducks under one arm and punches at the elbow joint. "And I'm sorry about that, I'll keep it in mind. I won't force this unless you want your ass on a plate next time." He keeps hold of the arm, spinning around Korumi and pushes it up and out, just to cause some pain and kicks her away.
Shadow: "Oh sorry Leo, I won't ask again." He wraps an arm around Aitome. "How're you feeling though sis, remember everything?"
Shadow: "Oh sorry Leo, I won't ask again." He wraps an arm around Aitome. "How're you feeling though sis, remember everything?"
Hmm? D-Do they have a limitation, Mister Closed Eyes...?
[Kazuma slightly turns his head sideways, as he looks at him with more and more curiosity.]

*Leo looks back at Kazuma.*
Personally, I've never reached it. But sometimes when I use them too much it starts to burn a bit and my vision even has started becoming blurry before. Though that was mostly because of what I was using them for at the time.

*Korumi smiles at the attacks and takes them, being pushed away before responding.
K: Quick heads up! Im made of pure energy! I dont really feel pain or take wounds! I simply just lose energy from strikes!
*Korumi then runs back at Aincard, going for a overhead punch but fakes it out for a sweeping kick, trying to knock him over before punching with her left,
A: Nya!?! Your getting a little to close you know... and I basically remember everything except everything thats happened when I entered that door. That sounds kinda dangerous Blind Guy, you should be careful.

I-I see...
[Kazuma keeps quiet after this, thinking hard on what he should do, but after a few seconds...curiosity got the better of him.]
Say...is it possible to look into the past of someone like me...?

*He stares at Sayaka in shock for several minutes before grinning at her* Someone actually said yes? *He laughs madly*
No one ever says yes hah finally! *He smiles at her and holds his hand out* Well then I guess that makes you my apprentice or something?
*He shrugs* Oh well we can figure out the details later like I said never done this before, and yeah it definitely pays if you know where to look. *He smirks*
I've made a bit of a fortune over the years in fact, anyways the real tough part is actually sorting... Heh I guess it's a little late for a lecture. Anyway I'll be happy to have you along!

*Leo rubs the back of his head.*
See into your past, I guess I could. Though I'm not sure how much I could handle before I hit my eyes start overheating. Also, are you sure you'd want me to do that? You'd be showing your past to a complete stranger when even you're not sure what happened in it.

Hahahaha! How WONDERFUL! I vow to render all of my foes obsolete! *shakes Tatsuya's hand* I am not quite as experienced as you, but I will not be eaten or deleted!
It's fine, I know you will tell me something interesting!
[Kazuma's voice got a sudden change, as if he actually had confidence as he stared at Leo with his eyes completely uncovered, revealing that pair of golden eyes of his. The shy boy didn't noticed at first, but after a few seconds of silence, he shaked his head with embarrassment, and closed his eyes, hiding them with his own hair.]
I-I'm very sorry, I...I don't k-know what got into me...

The shy boy didn't noticed at first, but after a few seconds of silence, he shaked his head with embarrassment, and closed his eyes, hiding them with his own hair.]
I-I'm very sorry, I...I don't k-know what got into me...
*He laughs*
If I thought you couldn't take care of yourself I wouldn't make the offer, nah I'm not too worried. Just make sure you don't kill anything we shouldn't and it'll be fine.
*he rubs the back of his head* I'd say don't piss off any clients but I already do that... Glad thing I'm good at actually hunting that people hire me anyways!
Anyway I guess we could start tomorrow if you want? A bit sudden but eh you don't have a job or anything so why not.

"Aww pure energy? Now that's just cheating." Aincrad jumps back and yawns. "Should I grab a vacuum and suck up all your energy? At least be fair about it!" Aincrad fake pouts at Korumi.
Shadow: "Fair enough then sis, anything I can do to help that? Besides being an idiot, I am a very smart idiot. I might be able to do something with the memory loss."

*Leo looks at Kazuma curiously.*
Uh, I guess I could give it a shot, no guarantee how much I'll be able to see, though.
These eyes kind of have a mind of their own sometimes.
*Leo's eyes open fully as strange blue circular patterns project in front of them.*

*Korumi then stands back, hand on her hip before responding in an annoyes voice
K: Well it's not like I can help it, im a persona, im made of energy! If you hit me hard enough like the last time ill eventually fall! I don't typically do this but...
*Korumi then bursts into flames, when they subside a tail seems to appear, about 50% of the inital bursts height
K: See! Im already at half power! Come on!
*Meanwhile Aitome speaks to Onii chan, kinda looking confused
A: Well.. the actual memory has gone to Korumi, so I just need her to come back, I suppose it isn't necessary right now though..

[As you look through his hidden memories, you can see, you can even feel the dark of his own existence. The young man found himself inside a test tube, while a blond man wearing a mask looks at you, as well as a green spectre with red, crescent smile. You can hear the word "Vessel". Then you can see a colossal, black creature in a small screen, and by your side, the same Masked Man. Canyons, forests, deserts, cities, and then an island forgotten in the middle of the ocean. Mages, magic, the Ten Sages, Trinity, Celica, and Terumi, who is now smiling at you, he knows, he feels your gaze as he keeps his red, crescent, sinister smile. "Look for the Azure", in the same voice as "Vessel". Finally, a pacific man of similar aura as "The Spectre", a detective.]
*Leo starts sweating slightly.*
W-what was that?
*Leo calms down as he closes his eyes once again.*
I can already feel them getting overheated...At least it's not as bad as last time though.

Aincrad chuckles and steps forward. "Sorry I'm just gonna cheat here for a second." Running forward Aincrad seems to be going for a punch to the head, before remanuvering and tossing Korumi back to Aitome. "And remerge! Heppy return." Shadow fades away and Aincrad goes to retrieve his items. "We just got word back from the lab, we have to go." He bows before Aitome and Korumi and points to a device that's vibrating on his side. "I'm sorry to cut it short and next time I promise Korumi we will go full on fight, though don't fall for an obvious trap like lowering your energy." With that he leaves.
(Night y'all.)
(Night y'all.)
*Korumi then his Aitome as they both hit the ground as they speak in unison
Ow! That's not how it works Moron! We have to both accept it to work! Sigh...
*The 2 then lock eyes as Korumi then morphs into a ball of energy, reabsorbing into Ai as he gets up,
Stupid Mr.Carnival... Sigh... well see you later I suppose...

S-So...!
W-What did you see, Mister Closed Eyes...?
[Kazuma walks closer to him with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes show "hope", as he might learn something about himself now, after so long.]

*Leo regains his focus and tries to respond to Kazuma.*
It didn't really make too much sense to me. I saw a lot of people that I guess only you would recognize. The ones who stood out the most were this man with blond hair in a mask and a shadowy man with a big smile on his face. Also, there were all these places, including this strange island...I can't forget that strange shadowy figure though...It almost felt like he knew I was looking through your eyes...Oh yeah, they mentioned something about a Vessel and something about finding "Azure" as well. Actually, he had the same aura as that shadowy figure...Sorry, I don't know if any of that was helpful, it went by so fast that everything was a bit blurry.

Blond hair and a mask...? That must have been Professor Relius Clover...! H-He was my guardian, a-and we traveled through the world f-for a while...
[He then thinks hard at the "shadowy figure".]
P-Perhaps...could it have been Mister Terumi...?

*Cameras buzzed and whirred as they followed the action and interactions.*
*Emerson opens GYM's possibly existing doors, and takes a seat in the lobby.*
Ahh, what a great day...
Ahh, what a great day...
*A young man walks through the now familiar streets, he casts a quick glance at the Gym, before noticing the ajar door*
Been a while since I've seen it open. Perhaps it's owner has finally returned?
*The man steps through the door and looks around, catching sight of Em*
Excuse me young lad, are you the owner of this establishment?

*Em puts his head back, looking at Kei without moving in his chair.*
Nope, but I know the guy. You need somethin'?
Nope, but I know the guy. You need somethin'?
*Kei takes the time to adjust his glasses before speaking*
No, nothing in particular. I merely assumed the owner would know about what's been going on here.

Do you mean around GYM, or the area in general? I can probably answer the former with a general statement...
*Em starts messing with a little ball of light in his hand.*

*PK then enters the GYM, with a smile on his face as P+S follows behind him
Hello everyone! Are you ready for some training!
Hello everyone! Are you ready for some training!
*Em stands up and does a small wave to PK.*
Heck yeah, I'm ready! You wanna go a round?
Heck yeah, I'm ready! You wanna go a round?
*Kei glances st the light in Em's hands before stepping out of his and PK's way*
I was looking into the gym more specifically at the moment, but I see you two are preoccupied. Very well, this is a training grounds of sorts.

Sounds good Em! This will be our rematch from the tourney! May the best man win!
*PK then walks over to the ring, pulling out a laser sword as P+S stands next to him, each holding onto a dagger and a mini crossbow
You can move first! Show me what you got!

*Mig wanders in and flops down on the nearest seating spot.*
Ugh.... I thought a safe Nexus would be fun but this is just a drag.... there's not even anywhere good to eat lately. I'm in a funk....

*Em smirks as he follows PK onto the battlefield.*
Well, if you say so. Let's dance!
*Em raises his right arm, before snapping. Instantly, 4 daggers made of Hard Light appear around him, before zipping off towards PK, each aimed at one of his legs or arms.*

*Kei sits near Mig and watches the others*
I take it this is normal for you? At least, everyone seems so casual about their abilities.

*PK notices the daggers a second too late as they hit his body, he gets hit and thrown back a bit before standing his ground, fusing Waffles as a pale barrier forms around him
Looks like we've both got some new tricks! This will be a good rematch! Have at thee!
*PK then rushes at Em, swinging his sword at him, trying to get as close as possible

I dunno, nobody ever seems to notice us...

*Kei adjusts his glasses and continues watching the ring, he speaks nonchalantly*
Don't worry, people have noticed. For example, there have been several noise complaints about this building in particular, reports of "monster" sightings, not just here but all around Tokyo. It seems no one wants to get directly involved in it

*walks in*
DID SOMEONE SAY FOOD!?
DID SOMEONE SAY FOOD!?
*Em creates a thick shield from Hard Light to block his blow, but it instead shatters, shards of light filling the air around them.
Em looks rather pleased.*
Heh, I suppose this could be considered a new trick...
Light Atmosphere: Ease of Access!
*Em puts his hands out, and tons of small fragments flow out onto the battlefield, before the entire area seems to be filled with Hard Light in the air.
Despite looking visibly worn down, Em easily creates a spear of Hard Light on his hands without a second passing. He readies himself for PK's next attack.*

Ooc: No, they really didn't.
*looks around* So, this is GYM.... huh.
Hmm.... so they did notice....
Honestly, it makes me relieved to hear that.
And I said food, why do you ask? Since Leblanc got sold or closed or whatever happened involving dogs and TNT, I've had no real go-to restauraunt. I've been forced to learn to cook for myself and use online chat rooms!

Well then, I could help with that! I've been learning to cook too, and not to brag but I've been getting really good at it! Just give me something to make and I'll make it, free of charge!
Well there's nowhere to cook here, since this is a Gym. But thanks for the offer.
*suddenly, a mini cooking station appears*
You were saying?
You were saying?
*PK seems suprised at the new technique, backing off before smiling
Wow! I wonder what your plotting! I've got a few more moves as well! Jack Gloves!
*PK then throws off his regular clothes, revealing a martial arts Gi and black belt, defusing and refusing P+S into a pair of boxing gloves before rushing at Em with great speed, throwing 2 quick jabs and a fast kick, trying to test the waters

*Kei raises an eyebrow and looks at Mig out the corner of his eye*
Well of course they'd notice. Have to be blind not to, especially after what Lucifer did. It's the main reason I'm here after all. Not on any official business of course,
Well of course they'd notice. Have to be blind not to, especially after what Lucifer did. It's the main reason I'm here after all. Not on any official business of course,
You never hear about it, though. And I mean we've had snow in Shibuya, giant robots, and even fought to the death on top of other buildings since then.
So, I've heard that this place is good for training?
Tell me Migrant, if you were a completely ordinary citizen and then someone comes up to you talking about how a giant robot battle unfurled in front of them, what would you do?
*Em is able to easily block the first jab, but struggles with the second, before ultimately getting flung backwards by the kick. Yet as he flies backwards, he slows down before ultimately stopping and returning to the ground.*
You weren't kiddin' were ya? It's definitely new...
Well, two can play at that game!
*At a flick of his wrist, two large hands form on either side of PK, aiming to crush him between them.
The amount of light in the air seems less than before, but also seems to be condensing around them.*

Well, I'd be likely to panic. Not pretend it never happened.
*Kei nods his head a few times before replying*
And what would you think of the person who told you, when you were done panicking? Most likely you'd think they're seeing things, perhaps ask them to see a doctor. It's not too unusual for demon sightings to get buried by fears such as these

*PK then smiles as the fists strike him, they seem to deflect off a pale barrier and hit each other instead,
Don't forget about the Tetrakarn! Now for a ghastly strike!
*PK then continues his assault, doing 2 quick jabs, a rising uppercut with his right and a giant left hook Akihiko style

While you aren't wrong, this place isn't normal. We've destroyed enough buildings, replicated enough places, so on and so forth to know.
There is absolutely, now and never, anything normal about this place.

*Again the cameras whir to life as people carry on.*
*Kei pauses in thought for a moment before looking back up at Migrant*
That's not quite true about this.... Nexus, was it? We're having a perfectly ordinary conversation. Until I started looking into these.... Strange occurances I knew very little about this place. It seems there is some amount of an outside world after all

*Em once again blocks the first jab, but this time he blocks the second as well, before deflecting the uppercut with his spear, and finally taking the hook, but stands his ground.*
That's a bit of a pain...
But I got you close enough.
*Em quickly rips off a mask that appears on his face and smashes a card before him at the same time, summoning both Saul and Samson. He then creates a wall of hard light behind PK, before the rest of the light on the air begins to swirl around Samson, and he begins to charge as well.
From inside Saul, Em smiles.*
Hit me with your best shot, Pan! Let's get this over with!

An outside world....?
You ready to finish this? Breakfast rush!
*PK then smiles as he runs up and sweeps Emerson to the floor, doing a flying uppercut before defusing his gloves into Breakfast swords, flying up as they slash into Em, as he falls down PK kicks him away as he fuses Waffles for a finishing Thunder Reign, when hes finished he looks absolutely exhausted from all the fushion

*Kei nods once again, though he looks at Mig with confusion*
Yes, a normal, outside world. Where most businesses are run, where everyone has their own little problems that are a huge deal to them. Normal problems like "what am I going to wear to the party tomorrow". You act as though you've never had a day of ordinary in your life.

A dojo? The more I look into this place the more it reminds me of home.

*Himeno enters and stands away from the others, watching the fight with interest. Kei's the only one she recognizes.* So this is both a gym and a battle area...
*Kei blinks a few times as Orochi walks in the door*
Yes... A dojo is another word for it. You seem.... Eager to say the least.
*Kei turns to face Migrant fully*
Yes, a day without demons, or personas, or whatever the other stuff going on around here is. That's how most people live. Is this seriously a foreign idea to you?

*Despite the heavy hits, Saul protected Em from most of the damage, placing PK in an awkward position between a charged-up Samson and Em, ready to finish the fight.*
Welp, you made the wrong move. How about I finish this up for you?
*The light finishes swirling around Samson, his fists now glowing with light. He turns to PK, and outs his arms above his head.*
Gigantomachia!
*Samson slams his arms down to the ground, possibly onto PK, creating a massive wave of pressure that causes the ground to crack, and the walls to crumble a little once it reaches them. It's followed by a burst of light which fills the room, before quickly disappearing.*

*Kei sighs and adjusts his glasses*
It's not entirely uncommon for people to adjust to a situation to the point where even thinking of another way becomes... Strange, to them. Perhaps it would be best for you to get out more, maybe get a normal job. A chance to See ordinary people, hear their ordinary problems. The change in perspective may do you some good
*Kei takes this chance to give Orochi a sideways glance*
Oh yes, of course you are. Sorry I didn't notice, I don't keep up with conventions very well, so pardon my ignorance young lad.

*Em slowly picks himself up, before grabbing PK fron the small indent now in the arena, and setting him down on a chair in the lobby, before sitting in one himself.*
Phew, that was a nice test run...
Didn't think he'd be so tough close up though. Nice to see he's been working hard, as per usual.

*Kei pauses for a moment, before taking out a business card*
Well.... I would suggest you find a job of your own, perhaps an office job would be a good change for you. If you can't get something on your own, I may be able to pull a few strings for you.
*Kei looks back to Orochi*
Yes, of course you are noble warrior. What brings you to this humble Gym?

Sure thing... *looks at the two fighters* Ah, you two done?
*PK then shakes himself awake, pulling out a mountain of pancakes from his pockets
Woah! That was a good fight! I got pretty roughed up! I will need to learn how to fight with intelligence! Oh thats right! Time to bring back P+S!
*PK then crushes a card in his hand, Waffles flashing before him as Pancake and Syrup pours out, as PK and the 2 have a small group hug
Welcome back!

It appears they are finally finished, Migrant. Probably a good thing too. I doubt anyone outside noticed that one. After all, it was quiet enough for us to talk during
Oh I wasn't concerned about that.
I actually was hoping to make use of the arena sometime tonight.

Well, I ordinarily stay out of such things, but if you wish I would be willing to spar with you. Just this once. If you please?

*Kei suddenly receives a call on his phone*
Mhhmm.. Yes, new development you say? Very well, I'll be right there.
*Kei puts up his phone and bows to Migrant apologetically*
Very sorry young lady, it seems something urgent has come up. I hope one of these other young lads will be able to oblige you.
*Kei straightens himself up and walks towards the door*
Oh, and remember to look into getting a job. I believe it will be a great help for you.

Hey, Black Mask how are you doing? You're hanging around in here again?

A job? Huh, I should do that, I haven't got any money myself... at any rate isn't this GYM? Kelob runs this place, right? You train your body here right?
Yeah you train or fight here.
And I should get one, I kinda blew the last of my shadow hunting money on a house and... well that market's dryed up pretty hard.
And I should get one, I kinda blew the last of my shadow hunting money on a house and... well that market's dryed up pretty hard.

*Aitome scratches his head in confusion, it appears the concept of a house is foreign
Wait wait wait, are you telling me you live in a BOX!?
WHAT? I don't live anywhere! I just walk around a lot! You're telling me you don't just walk around until morning starts?
.... Don't you need SLEEP!?
Slaps? Uh yeah, I slap a lot of people but I don't need it to live. why do you ask?
No no no, sleep. You know, that thing people od at night?
Huh? The thing people do at night?
*Aitome then scratches his head again, trying to think
Oh! You mean when you let your persona take over for you while you close your eyes? You know the blank stare walk? You do, do that right?
*Aitome then scratches his head again, trying to think

Well that is what this place is for.
Well then let's see how you fight unless you don't want to of course,
*Aitome's eyes then shine red as he speaks in a more smug tone
Cause you're afraid to lose! Tehehe!
*Aitome then jumps into the ring, pulling out a shortsword
Ready when you are Black Mask!

*Walks on into the ring and produces her rapier from a... curious sort of light rings display.*
Okay then... So... you feel like going first or should I?

Really doesn't matter to me, although ladies first right?
*Aitome then chuckles to himself a bit before steeling himself again
God, Mr.Carnival is rubbing off on me...

Heh, or Tormentation is.
But alright then, time to show you the new me!
*She charges at Aitome, before bringing her heel up and down onto his foot. Following it up with a, hopefully, unguarded slash across the chest!*

Tormention isn't the one to make bad jokes.. in fact, I think he hates comedy... well h-Hyah!
*Ai then gets shocks from the foot strike, he wasn't expecting such a strange strike as he takes the rapier, before bursting into red flames, eyes, and hair going red as Korumi takes over, pulling out a second shortsword
Hehe! Let's see how you like this Mig! I didn't expect to fight this early!
*Korumi then rushes forward, swinging with her left first in a horizontal slash, before following up with an upward slash with her right, and finishing with a swift kick

*Em wakes up in his chair, having fallen asleep after his fight. He yawns, before turning his attention to Mig and Aitome's duel.*
Well, isn't this something to wake up to...
Well, isn't this something to wake up to...
*Tries to block the hits but can only block one, stumbling back from the resulting kick.*
Well okay, now that we're warmed up...
*Mig jumps backwards, Fortuna appearing in the spot that she was. An eye appearing on the wheel of fortune in her hands as a beam of psychic energy shoots out at Aitome!*

(A whole opens up leading to a realm of multiple abstract colors. Out of the whole in reality steps a girl with blue hair and purple eyes with a bored expression on her face.)
"Oh, is this where all the fun happens? I hope this will keep me entertained for a while."
"Oh, is this where all the fun happens? I hope this will keep me entertained for a while."
*Em turns his head to the new face.*
Oh, aren't you fancy...
Is there anything you need? The big boss man ain't around.

Hehe! I'm always warmed up! Let's see here!
*Korumi then tries to dodge, however a part of the beam hits her and she seems a little dazed, she then smiles and places her hands behind her
Get ready for this!
*Korumi then sprays fire vigorously behind her, rocketing towards Migrant at high speeds, before stopping the stream with her left-hand and slashing, before spiraling up and dropping trying to go for a downward strike.

(The girl looks at Em with a twisted smile.)
"Just thought I'd come to breathe in the violence a bit. It's refreshing with how peaceful things are here. Too calm most of the time, if you ask me."

But peace is when you can get stuff done though...
Like, would you be able to get a driver's licence in a time of fighting? Nope, and that's why peace exists.

*Mig takes the first hit but rolls forward to dodge the second one, quickly spinning around a few times, rapier out. It's a spin attack!*
So this Persona of your's really likes fire, huh?

(Pandora laughs at Em's statement.)
"You'd be surprised what I can accomplish given the right amount of effort...All you have to do is have a little bit of...creativity."

*Korumi then takes a few hits, using the twin swords to catch the rapier, Korumi then gets an angry look at the comment as she starts to expend fire from her arms, trying to spread it from the swords to Migrant
You know I'm right here! Did you forget the whole possession thing! I can use light as well but fire seems to be working pretty well!

What, and next you're gonna tell me you can build a parking lot without hands?
*Em chuckles a little, before thinking for a second, then returning attention to Pandora.*
Actually, in second thought, I've seen crazier feats. So I guess I'd believe that if you said it.
*Em stands up and playfully bows to Pandora.*
On another note, may I be graced with your name, m'lady?

*Mig, without much fear.... let's go of the rapier?*
Okay, looks like it's time to show off my new tricks!
*Stomps on the ground and suddenly a.... hard light mic stand is flipped up into her hands?*
Alright, let's kick it!
*using two hands, she swings the base of the stand around at Ai's midsection. It's no slash damage, it's just plain blunt.*

"It seems you have some good manner. You may call me Pandora, you should be graced by my presence. It's not every day you get to meet a Goddess such as I."

Huh? Is that a mic?
*Korumi seems taken back at the new "weapon" and takes the strike in the torse, backing off
Alright! Thats enough for me! Go and get em Tormention!
*Korumi then gives a peace sign before being engulfed in blue flames, switching into a thief uniform with blue hair and eyes, speaking in a deep voice
It appears to be my turn, Lady Migrant, I hope I don't hurt you too badly. Now then. Endless Pain.
*The mask then seems to dissolve into flames as Tormention hits the floor, ice spreading across the ring as it shoots up, creating spikes along the floor
Be careful not to slip, the ice is extremely volatile.

I dunno, we get a lot of gods and goddesses around here. What puts you above the rest, if I may ask of course.

(Pandora begins floating in the air and moves closer to Emerson.)
"Well, just look at me. Don't I just exude divine radiance? There is no Goddess more divine or beautiful than I."
"Well, just look at me. Don't I just exude divine radiance? There is no Goddess more divine or beautiful than I."
"Well, this has been fun I suppose, but I should be leaving...Until next time."
(Pandora sicks back into the crack in reality before it stitches itself back up.)

Oh boy, ice... what are you, knockoff Gamma? Well I have a solution for this ice problem.
*Mig rises up into the air! No, wait, Mig is just standing on a swirling, multicolor platform of psychic energy. Hey, if it can make eyeballs that shoot lasers it can make platforms.*
Now then, got another plan?
*Taunts with a wink!*

Gamma? Yes I do recall Aitome seeing a pink haired boy using this technique, now then...
*Tormention then slams his hands into the ice, the outermost ice creeping in closer and closer until then surround Tormention, eventually a ball is formed and it grows giant arms of ice,
Your move.

*Mig jumps from the platform, delivering a high velocity slap direct to Aitome's face! Then following it up with a flourish of the mic stand as Okuninushi appears and adds a Matarunda (attack drop) for extra insult.*
*Tormention then takes the flourish, somewhat surprised at the sudden attack, before jumping back behind the ball,
What a strange attack... still hurt, however... that slap gives me deja vu...
*Tormention then concentrates, controlling the arms to attempt to hit Lady Migrant, upon impact even if it misses explodes in a violent nuclear explosion, sending ice shards flying

*That's gonna hurt.... Mig gets hit and exploded and looks beat up but not down yet.*
Okay... that was pretty flashy.... maybe I'll have to get flashier!
*Mig jumps back, before dashing forward and taking multiple close range hits at Ai with her one hand, using the other to try and catch his feet with the mic stand and pull them out from under him!*

*Tormention too busy manipulating the ice takes the jabs with no resistance, taking quite a bit of damage, however, he then uses his short sword to block the mic stand, keeping it on a blade lock as he uses his other hand onto the sphere as it seems to glow
Interesting choice of weaponry to say the least...

Thanks, I got the idea after a little... self-reflection. I'm sure Yu probably would hate it, though.
*She lets go of it, however, and it disappears in a bright flash of light. Giving her room to back off again, summoning up Fortuna again to launch another eyeball psi laser at Aitome. This one point blank.*

That's what I was waiting for.
*Tormention then smiles, pulling out a sheet of ice from the ball, having the laser hit it and explode in a fury of nuclear energy, mostly as a distraction tool however as he then runs up, englufing into a red flame as Korumi takes over, pulling out the twin shortsword as she charges in, doing an overhead slash to try and hit Mig

*Thankfully the explosion was enough of a warning for Mig to sidestep. But she didn't anticipate the Persona change so takes one of the hits anyway.*
Hmph, this is getting nowhere. I think it's all or nothing time.
*She kicks at Aitome to try and force him back a bit before her rapier reappears, her taking a series of slashes at him as a whirlwind kicks up around her and lifts her up into the air. After reaching the top of the whirlwind, she drops down with a vertical slash!*

*Korumi takes allof the strikes, backing up from the rapier and taking the full brunt of the slash before going pale, hair eyes and face, Aitome seems severely wounded, barely standing
Nice one Black Mask... I-I can't call it quits yet though... here goes nothing...
*Aitome then closes his eyes, then the left side of her body goes red while the right goes blue, charging a ball of firey light in one and an icy blue ball in the other, growing them both large in size, 3 voices then say in unison
Our Final move! Endless Light!
*Aitome then crushes the 2 balls in both hands, as they both explode in waves, crushing everything in their path, leveling the arena into the ground, when the attack finishes Aitome is wobbling around holding his head as he speaks weakly
I-Im willing to call it a draw..
*Aitome then hits the ground unconscious
