WHO: Persona users + Mohammed
WHERE: Recollé Community Center
WHEN: September 16th at 7pm
WHAT: The second gathering of Persona users!
WARNINGS: None for now. The second prompt will have its own top level and headers to keep everyone's Persona discussions in one place, but otherwise feel free to make your own top levels for everything else!
I. TIME TO FEED THE MASSES
[Walking into the Tribunal Terrace community center on Saturday, you'll notice a large notice board with a listing of the day's events and classes on display just a few steps in past the door. "Private Tutoring with Minako Arisato!" is written in the 7pm slot, and directs you to the third floor, room 310.
Wow, this room sure is all the way in the back of the building, isn't it. By the time you get there, it's very obvious that Minako chose it for how far removed it is from the heavily trafficked areas of the community center. And even then, room 310 isn't the room this meeting will be in-- it's the staff room she mentioned in the letter she'd sent out last week, right next door. Nobody goes into a place marked "Staff Only" except for staff, and Minako made sure none of her coworkers would bother them tonight. Gotta keep the discussions in this meeting a secret, after all.
Anyways, come on in and help yourself to dinner! Minako made everything because of course she did, and, you know, if you want to help pay for it, there's a little mason jar at the corner of the table labeled "donations ♥" you can put money into. Otherwise, feel free to eat as much seafood paella, lemon chicken, caprese salad, and pumpkin muffins for dessert as you'd like. There's some jazzy music playing from speakers, and the hostess is pouring soft drinks.]
II. KIMI NO NA WA?
[Once everyone's had their fill, it's time to start off this discussion! Minako will be acting as moderator, and the plan is to go sort of in order of the following:
• Persona user/Persona introductions
• Hallucinomemories
• Items and abilities from Retrospec
• Privacy issues
• Free discussion/advice corner
There's a couple big whiteboards in this staff room, so feel free to walk up and doodle something if it will help you explain better. Yukiko's relationship board has come back as well, with the Retrospec user pictures of all attendees taped to the whiteboard, and lines already drawn in between various people, indicating some kind of connection in their other lives. Add your own if you've had a hallucinomemory about someone else.]
III. TAKE A DEEP BREATH
[Once it seems like conversations are starting to die down, Minako does a headcount for people interested in going to the beach and doing some late night training. There's still a good hour before the late night beach goers will start clearing out, so relax a little! Make a grab for the last pumpkin muffin, look for a vending machine in the dark hallways of the community center, watch whatever anime Minako is playing on her laptop, play with Koromaru, or just decompress with your phone. Heck, you can even leave early so you can grab some ice cream or coffee on your way over to the beach! As long as you don't make too much noise, it doesn't matter how you use the time.]
IV. SHOW ME YOUR MOVES
[Once everyone gets to Peach Beach, it's pretty much a free for all! If you want to practice summoning or using your Personas here, you can do so without too much fear of injury since there are a number of healers present. Please be careful anyways, especially if you don't know what your Persona is capable of! If you're thinking you want to practice fighting with weapons instead, that can also be arranged.
Once it starts getting to be around 1:30am, Minako will start herding people towards her car so she can drop people off at their homes. Thanks for coming to the second Persona gathering, and don't hesitate to keep in contact!]

PERSONA USER/PERSONA INTRODUCTIONS
no subject
[ ...user? Nah, that's it. He knows more than half the people here already, but not all in the context of Personas, so ideally, this isn't how he wanted his initial impression to be.
There isn't the space in the room to have people summon, or in his case, transform, but he does come prepared with two pieces of paper that he puts up on the whiteboard under the magnets. One is a print of the digitally colored sketch Chiyo drew for him of Thanatos, and the other is an original pencil sketch of Nyx Avatar. ]

Hello. My name is Elizabeth Velveteen, and I've recently joined your cabal of summoners.[ ... ] A friend's mother referred to the idea of multiple people being able to summon creatures like these as one, so I thought I'd say so as well. It's a pleasure.
[ With a small curtsy! Ahahaha... oh... was she also supposed to say who her Persona is? Uh. Go see Ryoji's thread— ]

wow. He's a little nervous. It doesn't show in his expression, but his thought bubble has the picture of a deer in headlights as its star. He kind of wishes he hadn't come. Or that Silver was here, Silver is always a good grounding presence.]
Akechi. My Persona is Robin Hood. [he's sure akira is dying to see his favorite buff hero but goro isn't showing him off.] It's a pleasure to meet you all.
[... That was so unfriendly. Oh god, please don't think he's unfriendly.]

[ Following a rather somber brunch, Ryoji carries that mood through much of the evening, nursing a cup of sprite all through dinner and not touching any of the food. He promises to be at the beach later, but excuses himself early from the meeting, forcing a smile and saying something about ice cream if asked, but not offering a reason if not.
No, but he actually does want ice cream. The stands at the pier are going to close soon. ]
iv.a
[ The other reason is so he can be at the beach early, as Pharos, walking along the shore where his feet sink into the wet sand and the waves lap over his ankles, as if he would be pardoned from fighting if he appears a child. Even after all that happened in August, when things could have gone much differently if he were able to properly fight, he isn't sure. It'd be nice to just be, invisible to much of the world as he idly overturns sand onto the seaweed that's washed up on shore. ]
iv.b
[ Someone had to ask very very nicely to persuade him to becoming Thanatos again, but here he is if anybody wants to... not really fight, he's just shooting megidolas across the ocean or something, don't make him fight. ]
iv;a
So she walks over and does just that, not giving him any warning at all before she's scooping him up, folding him into her embrace like he's a tired grade-schooler who's valiantly trying to stay awake but desperately needs a nap in someone's arms.
Though, honestly, she wouldn't doubt that he is that tired. After everything that's happened, all the things he's told her about and hasn't told her about-- it's taken such a toll on him. This is another way to support him, too. Holding him so that none may disturb him while he's trying to pretend that he's separate from everything this meeting is about.]
Hm...you're lighter than I thought you'd be.

She's holding her book behind her when she approaches him, looking a little delighted as another megidola shoots out. She's still really, really down with this summoning thing, okay— ]
I hope you don't mind me saying so, Ryoji, but you're very impressive.

[ Elizabeth is on time—she's been thinking about this ever since Minako invited her, it's been a bit nervewracking? Regardless, she's studying the donations jar over here and trying to decide what would be good to put in... She can afford to donate a sizable amount, but would that be okay?
...Catch her sliding in five whole 20s, that should do it.
Otherwise, she can be found with a heroic amount of caprese salad, alongside a couple of muffins. She skipped dinner at her caretaker's for this, she is going to enjoy it. She'll also definitely invite you to sit and eat with her!! Come on, come on, don't be shy. There's plenty of room after all, bring up a seat and let's... talk... or something. ]
iv-a.
[ It's always exciting, summoning Thanatos. She hasn't gotten to do it properly since August—he's so offensively-based, it feels like she needs a reason to summon him. Thankfully, training does offer a good excuse, and she kicks off her boots and tucks her socks into them before she bounces onto the sand, her book held tight against her side.
Once she's out, she opens the book to a certain page and a tarot card with the Death comes out when she touches it—it shatters as soon as she takes it, and Thanatos appears in a flash behind her. She looks quite serious for a moment before she's waving over the closest Persona user, hey— ]
Would you mind sparring with Thanatos and I? We're both rather new to this, and we'd appreciate the practice.
[ ...Well, she would. Her Persona offers no commentary, but he probably wouldn't be against it? ]
iv-b.
[ She is still new to this, though, so after some time of having Thanatos out and practicing with him, she's going to be resting by the ocean, digging her toes in the sand. She has her book in her lap, but her knees are drawn to her chest and she's crossed her arms on top of them to pillow her head. She'll probably be like this up until Minako starts catherding for the ride home, honestly—it's very comforting to listen to the waves.
If anyone approaches though, she'll at least lift her head to offer them a smile and a greeting. ]
It's very lovely at night, isn't it? I've never been here this late before. [ No, she's more of the stay-indoors-and-stay-up type of girl. ]
iv;b because I didn't want to subject her to fighting Thanatos (yet)
[Minako shucks off her sandals and sits down next to Elizabeth, leaning back on her hands and staring out.]
At night, you barely notice the gray since it's all black instead. I think that's why I keep coming back here late at night to train.
thanatos vs thanatos...... terrifying

[You can catch her cleaning up during the break time, otherwise Minako can also be found playing with Koromaru.]
Puppy therapy is a thing, you know. I signed him up for classes, he's going to be starting in a week.
[You can also find her watching Card Captor Sakuya, which is her go-to anime for destressing...but she's also watched it enough times that it makes good background noise, and she's reaching a point where she's dozing off in her seat. Please get this woman a coffee.]
IV. SHOW ME YOUR MOVES
[Minako would definitely call herself an offensive fighter with how her lineup is right now, so if you want to test your skills against her, feel free to ask! Except--]
You remember how I summon, right?
[She doesn't want to traumatize anyone.
Otherwise she'll just be wandering around making sure everyone is okay, with a little blue-capped snowman bouncing behind her and saying occasionally laughing out a "hee ho". He is a very friendly and sweet looking Persona, and is prone to making it snow in isolated spots on the beach. Like right above your head, for example.]
Aah-- I'm sorry about that. It's his new favorite thing to do, hee ho.
[The absolute straightest face, right here, when she adds that sentence ending.]
iii
...Wow. I haven't watched anime in a long time.

Oh—think nothing of it. [ It's cold though, and Elizabeth's not dressed for that kind of weather..... so she's quick to brush it off. What an adorable little guy though, she loves him. ] What's this one's name? He seems very friendly.
[ She sort of hopes she's lucky enough to be able to wield more than one Persona, she wants one of these little guys!! ]

[After the meeting Yukiko is definitely planning to head down to the beach with everyone, but her focus is less on that and more on processing everything they've talked about. She's moving from person to person, checking on them, bringing around a small tray of hot cocoa if anyone wants some. She's not really saying too much unless otherwise spoken too though. It doesn't feel right to make too much noise.]
IV
[Down at the beach, Yukiko is quick to summon out Sumeo-Okami, beginning to run through an elaborate series of forms that she's worked out. It's tessenjutsu, the art of the war fan, and it's filled with dips and slices, waves and jumps, all put together like a dance. Her Persona mirrors her movements, though it's using the sword in it's hand rather than anything like a fan.
She won't turn down practice, and if anyone needs healing, she's got you covered.]
iii
She'll take a hot cocoa though, yes, and speak very quietly: ] Thank you very much, Yukiko. Today's certainly been... exciting, hasn't it?
[ So many people she knows that she didn't expect to see here ended up being here......... ]

... Practice would be nice, but he's a little shy about using Robin Hood in front of so many people, self-conscious of his inexperience.]
I could never tire of watching you fight, Yukiko. Your form is as beautiful as it is dangerous, while I... well, Robin Hood and I don't share a similar style, for some reason.
[Bows and swords are kind of the opposite of each other, and... he's not sure a gun really counts anyway.]

[It doesn't feel like he's going to a talk about powerful monsters and magical powers, not in such a mundane building. On any other day, Mohammed would still wear his thin scarf, brown boots, and orange knitted vest, but carrying a stack of papers detailing an outreach plan instead of going through his phone.
He frowns while going over the cracks on the screen (he thinks he's getting used to the lines obscuring the text by now), but once he enters the back room he's smiling and stacking his plate with every type of food. It's not every day that he can get a nice dinner comprised of dishes he has never tried before.
For about twenty minutes he sits by himself, eating. If you're too nervous to go up to the giant adult in expensive hipster clothes and greet him, he'll surely come see you when he's finished eating.]
I almost feel like I don't belong here. [Said with a grin.]
IV.
[There's a very important component to being a Persona user - and that is looking cool while summoning it. No spine-breaking Jojo poses here, Mohammed takes to standing with his feet apart with one finger pointing straight in front of him as a ghostly form of a buff birdman on fire emerges from his body as if it were an astral projection.]
Magician's Red!
[And it stops five feet away from him. That's as far as it can go.]

So cool...! What kind of fire attacks can it do?

What an interesting Persona you have! [ interesting is a fun and useful word. ] It's quite unlike any I've seen... though I admit my knowledge is limited as well.
[ Guess it's kinda like the twins' Mada? Sort of?? ]
Your pose was very cool as well. I wish there were something cooler I could do with my book, but I suppose summoning from a grimoire is rather stylish to begin with, isn't it?
