SECOND MACHINE: NEW [TEXT] EDITION

[technomaturgist]

[ He's still not sure this is a good idea. However, it's something he's curious about. ]

I have a question or two, for everyone.

How many of you have recieved/awakened a Persona? How many of you haven't? I haven't awoken mine, yet. Are there people who would be willing to assist with awakening one?

Please let me know.

[ He has no idea how to persona, but this curious phenomena he saw means he's curious. And curious means network post. ]

I got one from Igor. I haven't woken up my normal one yet.

[technomaturgist]

Ah. Thanks for the info.

I wonder how many people have awoken their normal persona...

[technomaturgist]

Oh!

Really? That could be helpful.

[ And then he processes the other thing she wrote. ]

Gun?

[pistolsakimbo]

I think Pit does. I dunno how many others do.

[demifemme]

in the tournament they use evokers

theyre gun-like things that shoot your persona outta ur head

but u dont need that

i can take u out to fight sum demons, thats how i helped nick

[technomaturgist]

Hm.

Thanks for the info.

[technomaturgist]

Sounds... cool.

...Although, fighting demons might work, too.

Thanks for offering. If it's not any hassle, I'd definitely like to try that.

[ Given, he shot enough scorpions that just killing probably won't trigger his Persona... ]

[demifemme]

*Ah, but the point is not to kill them, the point is to give you a scare so your Persona comes out like a champagne cork. Although Shura might not realize yet how hard that might be.*

ok

what day is good 4 u?

well do this during the extra hour.

[technomaturgist]

[ Poor Shura. You're probably better off just scaring him without triggering combat mode... ]

...Any day should be fine. ...Do you have a preference?

[ He's contemplating picking up a job, but so far he doesn't eat much, so he's not left wanting for cash. And thus, he does nothing. ]

Oh, I- ... haven't woke mine up, yet. I'm not good at fighting without someone to guard me, so I didn't want to risk anything...

I can use Song Magic to heal or be back-up, if that helps. But I'm pretty clueless about Personas.

[second_destiny]

I haven't. How long have you been here?

text forever;

[technomaturgist]

...Ah. That's... understandable, at least.

...Song magic?

text forever;

[technomaturgist]

...I've been here for about a month.

And you?

[second_destiny]

Almost two. I'm lucky that I can get by without one.

[technomaturgist]

They do seem useful...

Someone offered to help me awaken mine.

If it works... I could potentially assist you in awaken your own, if you'd like...?

[voice forever]

[trulyworthit]

Oh, right, Song Magic's just from my world...

Basically, I sing and the song heals wounds, stores energy for a powerful magic blast, or does all sorts of things! But, since I have to completely focus on singing, I can't exactly defend myself or run away.

[technomaturgist]

[ It's like a psyker who won't kill everyone at the drop of a pin. Where have you been all his life. ]

...Really? That's interesting!

May I see it sometime?

[trulyworthit]

[Only IPD Song Magic risks that!!]

Sure! I guess I don't really need to be fighting to sing... but I think it'd be better in person than over the network.

[greyerrant]

Why bother with that heresy?

[technomaturgist]

I'm... gathering information, sir.

...It's like taking stock of psykers' strength to know who's likely to draw daemons out of the warp. ...I also want to know what this persona power is capable of.

Re: text; private;

[greyerrant]

You should be careful of trucking with such things. Personas are naught but angry ghosts, here to plague us. We shouldn't use them.

text; private;

[technomaturgist]

...Angry ghosts?

I've... yet to see or hear of any that were dead.

[ In fact, his own persona will disprove that theory.

Angry spirits, maybe. But machine spirits can't be ghosts. ]

... Still, I would like to investigate. It is... a priest of the omnissiah's nature, to investigate that which we do not understand.

[ He's just making excuses. But he's seen the power of Persona and it... the time he saw it, it didn't seem like a ghost. ]

[greyerrant]

Sensible inquiry is one thing, but neither of us is a sanctioned psykers. Would you ask a child to experiment with the basic principles of electricity unshielded and without instruction?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I've awoken to both of them! I'd be more than happy to help!
