Hi! Sorry to be a bother, but I think I need to ask for a little help when it comes to summoning my Persona for the first time. I'd probably just do it like anyone else, really! It's just that doing it the normal way would be a little more dangerous than it usually would be.

Anyway, if anyone with an Evoker and some time on their hands could meet with me, I'd appreciate it! If any strong fighters could afford to hang around, just in case, I'd appreciate your help, too. I don't know if it'll be necessary... It depends on how Evokers work, I guess. If worst comes to worst, though, I'm going to need someone to help me calm down.

I don't know how I can properly repay someone for doing something that could be dangerous for a stranger, but I've saved some money if you'd like to be paid that way. I can also owe you some favors if you don't mind.

Thanks.

i dont own an evoker but im rly rly strong

That's good enough for me. Just so we don't run into trouble, you don't happen to have a weakness to ice, would you? Also, what can I give you in return? Even if nothing ends up happening, I want to compensate you for your time.

matador doesnt have an ice weakness

u dont need to give me anything 4 it

If that's really all right, then I'd appreciate it! I'm covering lunch for the person who's lending their Evoker, so if you want something like that afterward, let me know.

Can you meet us around noon on Saturday at the intersecting tram stop in Capricorn? I'll be wearing purple.

All right, got it. Thank you so much!

[ and that, of course, leads us to saturday... (go ahead and join in whenever!) ]

What's an evoker.

As far as I can tell, it's a device that triggers your Persona. I read somewhere that people who don't want to put themselves in danger to summon their Persona for the first time can use an evoker instead.

I have an Evoker and I'm willing to help if you still want it!

Is there a reason you think summoning might be dangerous, though? Usually it's monsters that cause trouble, not the Persona itself...

[special circumstances aside, but she doesn't think many Visitors will have those.]

Really! Thank you so much! I haven't had any other offers, so this is a great help.

[ ... erp. switching to private for this next area of text. he's going to have to tell her the details, and he's willing, but he doesn't want the information out in the open. ]

Ah, no, I don't think that my Persona will be a problem! [ -- well, maybe. if a persona is supposed to be an aspect of his soul... long story short, he's really not looking forward to taking a look at it. but that's not the topic here! ]

I already have a certain reaction when I'm in mortal danger. When I have no way to defend myself, there's something inside me that comes out and possesses me. When I'm under its influence, I attack anyone and destroy anything in my way. Basically, I have no control.

I don't want to wreck any buildings or hurt anyone, so I think doing this in a controlled way, during the day when there are no demons to make things complicated, would be the best idea. That's why I'd need help. Are you still willing?

[well that wasn't what she was expecting, but it's not enough to put her off.]

Of course, I'd be happy to. That sounds like the safest way to go about this too. If we go to Capricorn there shouldn't be anything to cause trouble.

And if things do get out of hand, my Personas have skills that can instantly knock people out. It wouldn't be that comfortable, but I won't let you hurt anyone.

[ irl sigh of relief here. good... it looks like this is going to work out! ]

That's good! I'll follow along with any ideas you have. I don't know what Personas are like, so I don't want to risk anything.

Oh, before I forget, do you have a weakness to ice? The form that possesses me is ice-based. It's also physically very strong, but a weakness to ice would be more common, right?

No, I don't have a weakness to it... [well, with her current lineup, anyway.] Actually, one of my Personas reflects ice, so that shouldn't be a problem at all!

Edited (I can html) 2013-04-12 04:48 (UTC)

That's perfect. Haha, I wouldn't mind giving that form a taste of its own medicine.

Is there any way I can pay you back for this? Even if nothing happens, I still want to pay you back for your time and for using your Evoker.

I don't need to be paid back! It's really no trouble. We're all working for the same goal so I'm glad to be able to help out.

But, I still wouldn't say no if you wanted to treat me to lunch.(⌒▽⌒)☆

[ ... wait, how old is this person, anyway? not that he's judging, he'd just be surprised if he was talking to a teenager. (ok, maybe he's judging a little, but only himself!! he doesn't want to be the kind of guy who puts kids in danger.) ]

If that's really all right, then I don't mind covering lunch! Thanks, that's really generous of you.

I don't really have much going on during the day, so I can meet you anytime. Would you be free tomorrow or Saturday?

[She would deny being a 'kid' if asked... but she is a teenager.]

I have school tomorrow, but I can come in the afternoon either day. Earlier on Saturday. So whatever works best for you!

[She can re-arrange her schedule for Social Links.]

And my name is Minako Arisato, by the way.

[ aw man, if class lets out earlier for her on saturday, she's almost definitely a high-schooler... sigh. teenaged is not quite a kid, but still!! :( ]

Let's meet on Saturday then, at the intersecting tram stop in Capricorn. I'll wear something purple that day so it's easier to find me. Does that sound good?

[ ~~oh my god no not this guy minako REVERSE THIS SOCIAL LINK IMMEDIATELY YOUNG LADYYYYYYYYYYYYY~~ ]

I'm Eiji Hino. Thanks again, Arisato-san.

Edited 2013-04-12 21:22 (UTC)

[she's already s-linked with drunken monks and sketchy infomercial businessmen, she does what she wants!!]

That works! I'll have a red scarf and XXII pattern hairclips. [The hairclips are the real distinguishing mark, but not from a distance.]

And you're welcome! See you then!

[ thankfully eiji is not all that sketch!! he just dresses like a homeless person and is just a little bit crazy. harmlessly crazy. she'll be a-o-good. ]

Got it. Until then!

[[ did you want to thread out their meeting on saturday? we can handwave it if you don't. :D i'd be down for either! ]]

[On Saturday, Minako steps off the train dressed as promised. She shoulders the bag she's carrying, which holds her Evoker, and glances around the station for a glimpse of purple. Other than the male name, she's not sure who to expect.]

[ he's been waiting around the station waiting area for a little bit, enveloped in a comfortable purple tunic shirt (and a patterned purple afghan scarf to boot). he's spotted several red mufflers, but none of them had any extra hair accessories until minako exits the train car. He gets up and walks over, hoping that he's got the right person. he's really tall - taller than ur boyf, even! - but his approach is slow and unaffected.

he relaxes into a pleasant expression when he spots her hair decs. this seems to be the right person. ]

Excuse me, are you Arisato-san?

That's me! So you must be Hino-san?

[She smiles brightly. He looks older than her, so she's going to start off polite.] I hope you haven't been waiting very long.

That's right! It's nice to meet you. [ he bobs his head in a brief, polite bow. :> ]

No, I haven't been waiting long. Actually, I think we're waiting on one more person... Is it all right if we stay here until they get here? It shouldn't take long.

[Now she wonders who else is coming, but it shouldn't make much difference.]

Of course. I don't mind waiting.

It doesn't take very long for the next train to arrive. As soon as it stops, a girl in jeans and a hoodie steps out and looks around. A thick, black line underlines each of her eyes and go down her cheeks. She soon spots the boy in purple and heads over, wondering if she had the right person.

"For the Persona and Evoker, right?"

Thanks! Sorry, I wasn't sure when your school would dismiss, so I didn't tell anyone to meet at an exact time... [ Eiji's been out here since morning though. Early morning. He might have fallen asleep out here a little while after the 13th hour. Uh.

He turns as soon as he hears the second arrival's voice...! Oh! His eyes widen in surprise, then even wider in delight. So she does have facial tattoos... ]

That's right! Oh... I - sorry for, uh, staring, but those tattoos look wonderful!

[If she knew that, she might be a bit concerned. That was dedication.

Shura, meanwhile, is someone she's seen around before, if not really spoken to. She nods politely.]

Are you who we were waiting for?

She touched her cheeks as the young man said that, out of reflex. She even blushed a bit as she grinned. "You really think so? You should see me at night then, I have more!"

She then turned to the red haired girl. "That's me! You must be the one bringing the Evoker, then?"

At night, huh... [ Eiji makes a mental note of this! Just in case they ran into each other during the thirteenth hour. It does not occur to him to ask if they could meet again. Sob.

He pats himself down, checking to see if he's got everything he needs in case things go south, and... suddenly remembers that he hasn't asked Tattoo-san for her name. Whoops! Rude. There's really no way to gracefully ask for it now... He'll just leave it for later. ]

I'm glad you made it. Should we start moving away from the station...? [ There are a lot of open areas in Capricorn, so it shouldn't be hard to pick a spot! As long as there were no innocent bystanders within a few (hundred) meters, any way should do. ]
