Hey, so... I was thinking... These Persona things are kind of supposed to be us, right?

[He sure was sounding pretty unsure there. People that had seen him around could deduce that this was definitely nothing new.]

What if your Persona doesn't really fit...? Like, fit who you are? Do you think something weird happens?

It doesn't have to represent your whole self. Especially since everyone here can carry more than one... Sometimes they even change when you change.

What's wrong with your Persona? [and now we see the whole reason she answered this post. Being nosy.]

[hetried]

I.. guess... I don't know...

--Oh! Nothing's, really wrong with it.. I mean, it's not acting weird or anything. I was just wondering if it would... not really sure how you would deal with a creature in your head going crazy...

[greatseal]

[Going crazy...

oh.

Minako... doesn't really want to direct him to the person who'd know more about that topic.]

Well... if that happened, you'd have to learn to control it.

[getoutclaus]

Daichi, my main man! What Persona do you have?

[Straight to the point with this guy; the further details can come later.]

Also I don't wanna know why it doesn't fit or anything, just what it is; I bet it's a laugh riot.

[Audio]

[hetried]

[Not sure if glad to hear Santa or annoyed--]

It's not that funny...! [HMPH]

It's called Agni... some kind of Hindu god of fire? I dunno, I just read up about it from what I could find in the library...

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

[Dude if you want an info dump about a Hindu god then you just have to ask.]

God of fire and receiver of sacrifices; he's eternally young yet also immortal, acts as a messenger to the other gods and...[he pauses briefly] I could go on, but if this is all familiar to you then I could just shut my mouth right now.

Which part doesn't fit you; the fire part?

[allhailfunyarinpa]

+1

[AND THAT'S ALL HE WANTS TO SAY ON THAT]

[hetried]

I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

[Don't worry they'll high-five over it later]

[allhailfunyarinpa]

If you need any help at all, I will gladly work towards the cause

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

If that happened then maybe you don't know yourself as well as you thought.

[hetried]

Aw come on, don't pull that weird, self-help guru therapy on me...!

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I'm not an expert on Persona, but if they really are a portion of your mind, maybe you should think about the parts that do fit first?

Audio

[hetried]

The parts that do fit...

[Well, it does have healing spells, which he liked to have around, even if he wasn't usually the best man for the job. He, supposed that counted.]

I guess some parts do fit, but does it still make sense if the whole thing in general just seems weird to you?

Audio

[universebeware]

I think "some strange masked guy granting you the ability to summon things out of your head" already counts for "something weird" happening.

Audio

[hetried]

[OH GOD IT'S THE GIANT ROBOT GUY BRB HEART ATTACK]

W-Well, yeah I guess you have a point... I just don't want something weirder happening to something that's already weird. This stuff probably stacks...!

[HE'S AN EXPERT OF PERSONAS HE IS


well no that would probably be Margaret, who has an understanding of the growth that goes with it as well, but just because he's youngest doesn't mean he knows any less!]

If your Persona requires more control, then it could be you must merely earn its respect. While they are indeed a part of oneself, they are also a being of unimaginable power and must be treated as such. This is why guests do not obtain higher level Persona while their souls are still tempering. While it is unclear what your Persona may elude to right now, within time it will show itself more clearly.

[he will pause for you Daichi bro hi how's it going]

My own, Metatron, is not one I would have... willingly chosen if I had had the chance to, and while I know of his legend and what he stands for I don't think I quite understand yet why he was chosen as my partner for my journey... [And like hell he's getting another if he can't even handle one.]

audio

[hetried]

[how does he keep accidentally getting the info dumpers does he just have that kind of face--]

Metatron?! [He's not religious buff but uh yeah, he's definitely heard of that one. Suddenly a whole lot more freaked out!

But nah, this guy's cool, right? Yeah! He's pretty sure this guy is OK! For the most part. At least.]

Yeah I... Think I understand that one. It's kind of...overwhelming, isn't it?

[S i g h.] S-So you're saying we just have to grow into it, huh?

audio

[endears]

Well... if it doesn't fit, maybe that shows you something you didn't know about yourself? [No wait, that's stupid.]

Or maybe it's just symbolic.

audio

[hetried]

"Symbolic"? Man, when did the universe turn into a giant piece of old literature! [AUGH.]

[video]

[deathof4thwall]

So the video opens up on a plush doll - school uniform, felt bang covering one eye, teeny-tiny red armband. Maybe the guy shooting the video is a ventriloquist or something, because it's talking.

"I knew a guy like that once! He was a murderous suicidal nihilist that wanted to destroy the entire world!"

...w h a t did he just say

"He had Hypnos, who was the god of sleepy times, and he was always wandering around the city at midnight shooting people, so maybe his issues came from chronic insomnia? So if you're having problems, then remember not to shoot people and get plenty of naps!"

[audio]

[hetried]

U H M well. Daichi's just going to...leave the video off and keep with the audio, thanks much.

"Sh-Shooting people?!" The hell?! Wouldn't something like that have been on the news?! He was pretty sure those kinds of people only existed in video games or horror movies! "W-Well, I don't even know how to shoot a gun, so I think I'll be fine...."

audio

[ihaveanannouncement]

[Oh dear. She hadn't considered that concept.]

I'm new to Personas myself, but...I'm sure it'll be fine.

audio

[hetried]

Same here. I've never even heard of them before coming here. [Smaaaall sigh of exasperation.]

You think so...? Maybe I'm just being paranoid...

[Spoilers he's always paranoid and it doesn't make him feel better.]

audio;

[abmoemination]

[ Bwuh? ] If I had any other Persona besides the one I do have, the universe would implode in on itself.

audio

[hetried]

Wha-- huh?! Why?!

[Thaaaaat's kind of concerning??]
