[Video: start. Unimpressed teenager with slicked-back hair and a cranky expression: appear.]

Okay, so either the Professor is pulling a huge fuck you on me for leaving, everyone in this town is sharing some kind of mass delusion, or I actually got kidnapped to a Japanese city in another world to fight monsters.

Someone remind me why I'm believing the third one?

[He rubs at his eyes, then looks a bit more cheerful as he keeps speaking.]

Free room and board just for beating shit up, though. The place I came from could learn from this Philemon guy. All I wanna know is if there's any other mutants around - that's Homo Superior, the evolution beyond humans, not whatever you might call mutants in some other world. As good as this all sounds, I'm not sticking around if demons are my only alternative to humans.

[And he's done.]

((ooc: rather pertinent rewrite after he got the details about the place and actually kind of liked them. facepalm.))

Wh-!? I said don't make him come after you!

[That's mean, he's not even calm yet.]

I think it might be a little too late for that.

Don't sound so casual about this..!

[So much frustration.]

If something happens, then... yeah, tell me!

Wow, congratulations. You've got the most pathetic harem in the world.

And he's not being an idiot right now. He's talking sense. You have no idea what you're getting into.

They're idiots, not pathetic.

[ One of them uses a halberd and would kill you in a heartbeat if he heard you diss her like this... ]

Maybe I don't, but that won't stop me. I've died once, so I'm not exactly afraid of dying again.

Alright, idiots. You said it, not me.

But if you're really gonna do this, meet me outside the housing in Pisces. No Persona, though, just you and me.

Just 'cause you only trust yourself doesn't mean you're alone. There are people who actually get that it's the smartest way to go.

[Then he blinks, his brow furrowing in confusion.]

Another dead one? Why are they bringing live people when they can apparently raise an undead army?

[He looks utterly nonplussed.]

Sure, okay. I'm honored.

I'm also Pyro.

I didn't say anything about peace. My targets never change: they're whoever gets in my way.

[He tilts his chin proudly, especially when asked for his name.]

Pyro. You?

No! Don't do it! This is completely senseless, she's outmatched! You know that!

[Sorry, Yuri. He'll deal with the backlash later. And if he has to? He'll go.]

HMMPH.

"Very well, Pyro! Since you are obviously overwhelmed by how adorable and generous Desco is, she will graciously allow you to regain your composure."

That's still a lonely outlook. I don't know you, but I know that much.

[He huffs, shaking his head.]

Hey, hey--not undead. [Rude, Pyro. Rude. He's not using words like "freak" or "supernatural" for mutants.]

I don't know how they choose who they bring, or... why they even bring us back if we were safer being dead.

Is "she" gonna keep talking in the third person? 'Cause that's really annoying.

[Hey, he doesn't know the rules of courtesy for dead people any more than he does the ones for demons!

Although lbr, he's probably just storing the offensive ones away for later use.]

Alright, not undead. Not zombie, I'm guessing, since the kid didn't like that one either. You guys are touchy.

But I doubt they give a shit about your safety, or any of ours. Dragging people into a demon-infested city and saying "go nuts" doesn't say concern to me.

Desco pulls herself up, adopting a haughty, superior expression.

"In addition to being the Legendary Final Boss that will conquer the world, Desco is also the Ultimate Little Sister! Her adorable vocal tics only add to her cuteness!"

Keep talking to her. I don't back down from a challenge.

If she's really got nothing, though, that's no challenge at all. It'll be a quick fight.

N-no! Not zombie... That's even worse to imagine.

[And Otonashi's imagination is a very dangerous place, so he'll focus on not getting stuck there.]

Ah, well, no. I wish I could say otherwise. Their solution to the last big outbreak was "lock up the ones acting strangely, put out an unresearched announcement and hope for the best," and... it didn't solve anything.

[He snorts, but leaves that topic alone for now.]

Doesn't surprise me at all. What I wanna know is who's behind the telepathy - the demons, or the two having their little pissing contest.

The loss of control itself? I don't know... All I know right now is that that event affected us based astrology signs.

That's great. Any Aries gone crazy yet?

[Hey, he doesn't know anything about astrology, but he at least knows his sign.]

Uh, no, not Aries. Not yet. Scorpio and Taurus were the major signs affected so far, during different outbreaks. But it never affects just one sign.

It has something to do with, um... the star signs' relationship? When I was... "sick," it was because my sign shared something with Taurus.

I can't sound like I'm freaking out. You should know better.

[ She's the leader, after all. ]

If you're going to limit Personas, then maybe I should lay down my own rule: no supernatural abilities allowed if we do fight. It's only fair.

[ She's such a nice person. And it's okay, Otonashi. She's totally got this. ]

This is important, it's worth freaking out over!

[They are literally playing with fire today.]

Just let me handle this one, okay..!?

[ She's silent for a moment or two before she finally speaks up, sighing. ]

Fine, fine. But if you screw up you'll get what's coming to you.
