Accepted at Ruby City. :D

[southpaw_senpai]

I usually don't do this, but I told you so. There was nothing to worry about. I don't know what what you were so uptight about.

[Small grin.] Yes, it's good to see Labrys got accepted too.

Comments

[hamsterchaoslord]

I lie in wait for my own acceptance in the place my Mundane has chosen. I doubt it is anything to be happy about.

[metaltron]

Of course. As long as humanity holds onto it's faith, He will always guide them on the correct path.

[hasthepotential]

[The mun Minako finger-steeples.]

Excellent...

[southpaw_senpai]

This place doesn't seem that bad. Besides, I get to see two of my best friends that I haven't seen in over three years.

[southpaw_senpai]

[Aki blinks a couple times, confused. Not necessarily at Metatron himself, but the fact that there's no other Persona-user around, and... he's not sure, but are Personas supposed to talk?]

...I... uh... who?

[hamsterchaoslord]

I suppose that would not be so terrible. To see creatures you have once bonded with before is beneficial indeed! What level are they?

[southpaw_senpai]

This is exactly why my mun added the "be gentle, and that goes double for Minako" line to my intro post.

[Aki does look a tad scared at that. Seriously, when has anything good come from that?]

[southpaw_senpai]

...level?

[hamsterchaoslord]

Yes! What levels did you leave them at? My own at the moment are at their peak, of course.

[He's talking about animals. Who makes friends with humans?]

[southpaw_senpai]

I'm... still not sure what you mean by level...

[Game mechanics. What are they?]

[hamsterchaoslord]

What bonds have you made? What sort of creatures? That is what I mean!

[southpaw_senpai]

...They're people.

[Have a suspicious eyebrow arch. ...And he's not going to mention that Labrys is a robot, because he sees her as a person anyway.]

sorry about him akihiko

[hamsterchaoslord]

.... Tch!

[Gundam hides in his scarf a little, embarrassed, but he laughs it off.]

Fuahahaha! Of course, you do not seem the time strong enough to tame more worthwhile beasts!

Don't be. The fact that his name is Gundam gets him some bonus points anyway. :P

[southpaw_senpai]

[Aki just narrows his eyes. For starters, nobody calls his friends beasts. Secondly, don't insult the strength.]

For your information, I don't need to tame anything. I'm strong enough of my own, and when I do stumble, my friends are there to help me back up.

[He pulls a handgun from its holster under one arm and immediately pushes the muzzle to his forehead.]

Let me show you my strength. COME! CAESAR!

[One trigger pull and sound of shattering glass later, there's now a large ivory man with a massive gladius in one hand and a globe in the other just sort of hovering behind Aki.]

hahahha right this fucking guy

[hamsterchaoslord]

[When you're from a video game with mutual killing and homicidal bears (and humans,) you're a little whacked out yourself in the whole reality versus delusion thing, and your name is Gundam Tanaka seeing someone shoot themselves isn't that bad.]

[He only blinks a little, as the creature is summoned forth and he crosses his arms.]

I see! Impressive... Impressive... I myself am The Humble Servant of The Four Dark Gods Of Destruction.

xD And Aki is now totally confused.

[southpaw_senpai]

[Wait wait wait... hold the phone. FOUR gods of destruction? Crap. Nyx has siblings. Just what he wanted to hear. Still, at the declaration, he assumes a fighting stance.]

Not exactly something you want to go shouting, if you ask me. Especially since my friends and I sealed away one of your "Gods of Destruction."

[No, Aki, wrong universe.]

gundam has that effect on people aki it's okay

[hamsterchaoslord]

Impossible! Fuahahaha, mortal you make me laugh! The Four Gods cannot be stopped!



Behold! "Mirage Silver Falcon" Jum-P, "Star-destroyer Grey Fox" Sun-D, "Invading Black Dragon" Cham-P, and "Steel Red Elephant" Maga-G! Hear their names and tremble!

[Yes. He is, in fact, talking about hamsters.]

This is just too priceless.

[southpaw_senpai]

[Once it dawns on him that he's talking about hamsters - and it takes a while - his arms drop limp, and his jaw nearly hits the floor. ...Seriously?]

...You've gotta be kidding me.

WELCOME 2 THE GUNDAM TANAKA SHOW

[hamsterchaoslord]

I tell no lies, nor is this a humorous deception!

The Four Dark Gods have graced you with their presence! Are you not in awe?

This guy's Persona would totally be a giant robot hamster. The image is cracking me up.

[southpaw_senpai]

Those... those are just hamsters.

holy shit a persona dangan ronpa cross over is the world ready

[hamsterchaoslord]

You see only their perceived mortal forms! For easier travel and protection, they look harmless and tame!

But tempt them and they shall attack full force!

[Have you ever been bitten by a hamster it fucking sucks.]

YOSH. TOTALLY.

[southpaw_senpai]

...I'm pretty sure those are just hamsters.

[Dude, this guy straight up punched a grizzly bear. He's got the scars to prove it. Silly tiny little hamsters don't scare him.]

does that mean akihiko is super high school level protein i mean, boxer

[hamsterchaoslord]

[Gundam's probably punched a bear too. Or just cuddled it, more likely. He's straight up Dr Dolittle.]

If you continue your insults they shall never let you stroke their malleable fur...

It totally does.

[southpaw_senpai]

That's... that's fine with me. I'm more of a dog person.

[Koromaru ftw.]

[hamsterchaoslord]

Ah, yes! The bond one makes with a canine can last life times and never waver, harder than steel!

Alas I was unable to bring any of my canine companions to school with me...

[Wait, don't side track him!]

... You've still insulted The Four Dark Gods! Apologize!

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Hey, congrats. [Fist bump!] I knew you could do it.

Just make sure your mun doesn't slack off on that other assignment. We all know Junpei doesn't study, so your mun's gonna have to do double time to make up for it.

[southpaw_senpai]

I have a feeling that if I really had anything to fear from them, they would've done something when I called them just hamsters.

[Awkward head scratch is awkwar.]

I hate to break it to you... but I think those are just ordinary hamsters...

[southpaw_senpai]

I wasn't worried. My mundane is just... paranoid at times.

[And reciprocated.]

I'll do what I can. He's actually taken quite a liking to Junpei once he really got to looking more in depth at Junpei's past, his mannerisms, and the like.

[hamsterchaoslord]

You are deceived by the forms they want you to perceive! Only I may see their true forms.

[HUFFFFF]

As if you would know anything about it.....

[emperor_with_no_groove]

There's nothing to worry about. Either you get in, or take the critique and do even better next time. Throwing in the towel isn't an option, in this case.

[He nods in agreement.] I know there's more to Junpei than what he shows on the surface. He's not just the goofy class clown. [He grins.] Still, he's pretty easy to rib on.

My mun recently noticed that Junpei and I sometimes hang out at the dorms on the second floor. We're not always in the lounge with everyone else. [This next part makes Akihiko sigh with a bit of exasperation.] ...And apparently, Junpei offered his matchmaking services to Minako.

[southpaw_senpai]

...Have you ever talked to anyone about these... "gods" of yours? I mean, like, a counselor or something?

[Yeeeeeeeeah, you're getting an entry in the crazy book now.]

[hamsterchaoslord]

What?

[He looks embarrassed then.]

I need no counselling! The witch who raised me saw to it to try, but it had no effect!

[southpaw_senpai]

[Have an epic facepalm.]

You honestly don't see anything wrong with this picture? You're calling hamsters - hamsters - the 'dark gods of destruction' when they've shown no evidence of doing anything more threatening than munching on hay or... whatever it is hamsters eat.

You should seriously consider talking to a professional about things.

[southpaw_senpai]

That's what I keep telling my mun, but I swear it's like part of him wants to fail. Though, considering some of the things he's gone through, I don't see that as out of the realm of possibility.

Still, I'm not going to let him just up and quit. Same goes for Junpei.

[...Hold on, what was that last part? The mun is currently on S. Link 5 with Junpei on the frustrating attempts to grind in Monad that has become his second P3P playthrough.]

...Matchmaking. Junpei. [Why does he all of a sudden fear for his social life? ...And why is Junpei giving him that creepy grin from across the headspace?]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

What? [Icon face.] The hell is wrong with him? No one likes failing! [Except Junpei, at school! *SHOT*]

Good. He just got in, after all. It's too late to back out now!

[Junpei's Social Link Rank 3: he encourages Minako to go after Akihiko-senpai, and even offers to help her win his heart. Will PM you the dialog because it's too long to post here.]

Yeah. You heard me. ...You should probably ban him from ever interfering with your personal life. Just to be safe.

...And Junpei, stop listening to our conversation. This isn't one of your spy movies.

[southpaw_senpai]

Let's just say there are worse things than not having parents. That's one thing my mun has in common with Junpei there.

Not going to let him fail though. Part of why I'm in his head I guess.

[Ah yes, that. Fail mun has really bad memory.]

Oh, great. Just what I needed. We can have normal social interactions on our own after all... [...We just succeed at being dorks about it.]

[...Also there's a noise in the distance as Junpei trips over himself after abandoning his listening post.]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Not that he knows ICly, but his mun will helpfully feed him the info right now.] You mean, having a drunken father? [Akihiko frowns with disapproval.] Is he all right?

You'd better not, or my mun said I can kick your ass.

[No worries. Aki's mun is unnaturally obsessed with details. It is a very bad thing.]

Exactly! We're not loners! We have great friends! Who wants to deal with those girls at school, anyway?

[You're fucking awesome, Junpei. Have some love. And I totally want you to help with the matchmaking at our comm because Aki seriously fails.]

[southpaw_senpai]

It's not just being an alchoholic. The man was extremely violent and even emotionally abusive. My mun's past that stage in life, hasn't had any contact with his father going on 16 years now, but... it's left its mark.

He won't give up. He's come too far, and has too many people counting on him to just give up. I've got that covered, don't worry.

[Better than not being able to remember things all the time...]

[Also, the older Aki just kind of turns a bit of red.] ...Well, Minako was a special case. Besides, she wasn't just one of those girls that kept following us around without anything of use to say or anything.

[Junpei appreciates the love sent his way, but is too busy finding another hiding spot within earshot to acknowledge it.]

i can feed you details as long as you don't punch me for being annoying ^^0

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[My deepest sympathies, other Aki mun. I can completely understand where you're coming from. Some parents really shouldn't be parents. It never really goes away, but having great friends and support helps each day pass by.

But enough of the depressing stuff!]

Yeah... [He thinks about her and smiles.] She's a girl with substance, like Mitsuru, Yukari, and Fuuka. Only... different. [Because he doesn't regard those ladies in the same kind of light, even though they are awesome in their own right.

He sighs.] If Shinji knew about any of this, he'd never let us live it down.

sorry had a massive headache back now!!

[hamsterchaoslord]

[Gundam's eye narrow.]

I am not delusional.

You simply cannot see what resides above this astral plane! You do not possess the evil eye!

[hasthepotential]

See, that's just asking for trouble.

No worries. I know how that goes.

[southpaw_senpai]

[So deadpan.]

If you say so.

[hamsterchaoslord]

Tch..... As if you could understand. Perhaps I could demonstrate?

I wouldn't do that. :3 I'd have Junpei plan an over-the-top revenge prank if anything. :P

[southpaw_senpai]

[Aki is more than happy to change the subject. His mun does appreciate the support though.]

I wouldn't worry about if Shinji knew or not. Junpei knows. I know I haven't heard the last of it.

OK then! Hit me with any questions you got! ...oh fuck no don’t do that D:

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Oh. Well, if all of them already know, then we should tell Ken too. [So the little guy can stop drooling over his girl already, damn it.]

Junpei doesn’t have any right to talk. He’s obsessed with that Chidori girl from Strega. [From Aki’s timeline, Chidori hasn’t died yet, so he doesn’t know about their tragic, tragic romance.]
