((Just in time for the New Year! Lucky me~ 4649! ヾ(´￢｀)ﾉ
Obviously this isn't The World, so what's the deal? Personas for a start: WTT? Doubt there's any quests or dungeons around, so what's fun to do here?))

[themortalhalf]

I'll be polite when you are.

[Though god knows if he even read any of those texts. When the text starts to look more like a barcode's inbred cousin than a message, he's less inclined to put in the effort.

The text is his way of a subtle compromise.]

[themortalhalf]

[Wow, something actually readable this time. Better.]

Haven't given me much of a reason to.

Though it sounds like you're some kid who doesn't give a damn.

[text]

[unohana_hat]

[Well it's no fun if shinji can't even react.]

Young folks these days, no manners! Tut, tut.

But the reverse is true; if you don't give a damn, then neither do I.

[themortalhalf]

[He's got better things to do and stray dogs to feed then to start typing in all caps or some shit.

It helps that emotion isn't well conveyed through text, and if he got sick of it, it only takes one click to sever the connection—and things had been fast reaching that point. And that'd be just fine with him. He doesn't care.]

Possible enough.

[audio]

[unohana_hat]

[And Sora is switching to audio with a voice that's low like an adult's, even if the sing-song tone to it is not.]

Possible? I think it's more than that. Reeaaaaa-lllllyyyy, do you always push people away, or am I just special?~

[audio]

[themortalhalf]

[Well, someone just hit puberty ten years too early.]

I don't know. Do you type like that because it's normal in your world, or are you just doing it to get a rise out of every person who bothers to talk to you?

[audio]

[unohana_hat]

[nope Sora skipped right past it]

It varies, but I've never seen so many people get angry at me like this before.

[audio]

[themortalhalf]

[Lucky bastard.]

Like I said, this ain't your home.

[audio]

[unohana_hat]

[There's a soft "hmph" at the other end.]

What, is it too soon to feel homesick?

[audio]

[themortalhalf]

You'll do what you want.

What's "WTT?"

[audio]

[unohana_hat]

It's short for "want to trade". I don't like my Persona, so I want to get a different one. How about yours?

[audio]

[themortalhalf]

Trade?

[Damndest thing he's heard today. And even if he could, he wouldn't be trading his to anyone.]

That ain't something anyone here can do.

[audio]

[unohana_hat]

[huffffs]

Why not? They're just powers given to us, why can't someone just switch them around?

[audio]

[themortalhalf]

It's a facet of the person who summons it—that ain't something you can just trade.

[audio]

[unohana_hat]

[paaaaaause]

A... facet? That's stupid, I need to get a different one! This one doesn't suit me at all.

[audio]

[themortalhalf]

You might not like it, still doesn't change what it is or what it stands for.

Can't get rid of it.

[audio; private]

[unohana_hat]

Can't? Look -

[There's a click as Sora changes the settings to private.]

Listen bro, whatever this "facet" thing is, I don't want my Persona, okay? There has to be a way to get rid of it, right??

[audio; private]

[themortalhalf]

It's a part of your personality given shape, is what I meant. You use it to fight.

I get that you don't want it. [Shinjiro certainly doesn't want his; neither did that one kid he spoke to.] But it's not gonna go away.

You can get another Persona, but that one you have now stays with you even if you do.

[audio; private]

[unohana_hat]

N-no, that's...

[Sora is quiet, but his breathing is audible and rough. Suddenly his voice is very quiet and lost and terrified.]

I can't - it has to go away.
