ITP: Questions

[maybe_a_king]

[Four months. January would mark her fourth month in this place and Arturia is very, very confused. This is a place where special abilities are not only accepted, but commonplace, and there's little chance of the Grail War coming here. She always hated keeping secrets back home, but had understood the why of it. It bothered her, but she had accepted this as a fact of life.

Even more than that, Shinji weighs on her mind. Shinji had been a jerk, there was no question about that. The girls who followed him around were the type of teenage girl who seemed to think that sort of person was a real man. Arturia knew better than that just from spending so much time with Sakura. The only reason Arturia had not tried beating him to a pulp for what he did to his sister had been due to Sakura asking her to leave him be and stay out of it. It angered her to just stand by and yet....

...yet when she gets back home, she has every intention of going to the Matou home and telling Sakura in person that her brother is dead. Arturia has no idea how to tell her and the thought of lying to Sakura and creating a cover story leaves her slightly ill whenever she thinks of it since, in the end, Arturia feels like she is the one responsible. Archer may have put the bullet through Shinji's brain, but he had been Arturia's Servant.

There had to have been an alternative. There had to be.

Once she figures out how to post anonymously on the Network, she does so.]

When is it acceptable to kill someone?

For that matter, when would you say it is acceptable to keep secrets.?

[Oh my... hi there, creepy anon. I mean-]

I don't know if I have anything like wisdom... I only know what I try to live by the best of my ability.

anonymous text;

[handshakegreeting]

[Hello to you too, anon who is likely human. c:]

An admirable trait; one that is not always shared by others.

[Aw, creepy anon likes you!]

anonymous text;

[dreamprotector]

[Human he is.]

That's just all the more reason to hold onto it.

[It has taken him long to find balance, to find the road he had aimed to walk after leaving Castle Oblivion. To consume the dark and turn it into light, to know both, but not fear either. That is the road to dawn.

Also, uhh... thank you, creeper anon?]

anonymous text;

[handshakegreeting]

Very well. I hope that living your way leads to happiness.

[Somehow even through text, the other anon seems amused and proud...

You feel a faint bond forming between you and the other anonymous responder OH MOTHER OF GOD NOOOOOO]


Thou art I... and I am thou...
Thou hast established a new bond
that surpasses the barriers of
both time and worlds...

but art thou sure you wish to bond with someone you doth not know...

[You have formed the Anonymous Social Link of the Death Arcana!

...You get a foreboding feeling.]

not here (anymore)

[dreamprotector]

[Riku always has foreboding feelings when he hears voices in his head.

In fact... he kind of may or may not stumble back just a little, dropping his communicator in shock.

Just. What had happened just now!?]

poor thing

[handshakegreeting]

[...There's one more anonymous message for him later, and one that somehow seems locked to the IP of the last response.]

And in case you are not aware of what the Persona ability causes, latent or awakened, that was a social link initiation. Your own inner voice whispering to your heart, if you will.

In other words yes, I indeed heard it, too.

still not here :|

[dreamprotector]

[...If you expected any answers on that, you will be left disappointed, because. What in the light's name even.

(Also, he does not appreciate mind games/mind reading/or whatever else is going on. No way he's going to feed that. :|)

...This place is really way, way more weird than Promenade had ever been.]
