On beating P4 Golden, and voicetesting

[like_a_dragon]

ALRIGHT PLAYER! Way to go the extra mile and make sure that you get through that final boss! I knew. You. Could. Do it!! WOO-HOO!!!

Man does it feel good to stretch my legs, too! I was feeling cooped up in your headspace, since you made this journal for me... when was it? A week ago? Sheeesh... well, I guess I shouldn't be too mad, but if you think you're going to get away with this without buying me a meat bowl, you've got another thing coming!

And I'm talking the good stuff, none of that pre-packaged Junes stuff. People might think I woldn't know the difference, but I'm a sophisticated girl!

... so um ...

Got a place planned for me yet?

Comments

I hope you like 9ft tall green monsters!

[notmonsters]

[Slow blink. Well aren't you... energetic.]

You're sure enthusiastic about all this.

Let's wrastle

[like_a_dragon]

[Slow blink.]

...whoooooooooooooooooa...

You're... really... green. And biiiiiiiig...

[She sort of approves the color if it wasn't for the fact that PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THAT COLOR.]

you sure about that? he weighs as much as a car. (P.S. I want P4Golden SO BAD I'm so jealous.)

[notmonsters]

[Hey--she didn't run off screaming. That's always a good sign.]

I am?

[Looks down at himself, feigning surprise.]

Well how about that. [grins]

Maybe you're just really short.

[It's the best color.]

pfft, she punts cars into the stratosphere :3 (and ;D)

[like_a_dragon]

[She's in agreement on the color]

No, way. No matter how you look at it, you're freaky big. Even if you were a Shadow.

...um...

You're not a Shadow are you? I mean it's okay, because... you seem kind of nice. And you talked to me instead of trying to hurt me, so.

[Which is always a good first impression in her book.]

He has a strong aversion to hurting short spunky girls. Even freakishly strong ones.

[notmonsters]

[Sighs. Of course she would expect him to try to hurt her. They always do.]

I won't hurt you. I'm one of the good guys. Not that anyone ever believes me.

[But something she said didn't make sense...]

Shadow? Never been called that before. I'm not a shadow.

She has to be so tiny next to him, too xD

[like_a_dragon]

[She rubs a thumb against her nose, a soft hint of a smile forming on her face.]

Hey, if you say you're one of the good guys, I'm not going to question it. I've met a lot of weird and crazy things before, and a big green dude really isn't that strange. Besides, I have a good feeling about you.

[And she trusts her Chie instincts.]

[awkward laugh] Man, my life is weird...

But if you're not a shadow, then what are you? I haven't really encountered anything that's as big and... GREEN as you.

She'd probably come up to his belly button. ...maybe.

[notmonsters]

[Surprised blink. Well, that was easier than he expected.]

Uh. Thanks.

[What an odd girl. Hulk likes her.]

Your life is weird? I fought a furry guy with fangs from another dimension last week. Ya wanna trade?

[He chuckles agreeably.]

I'm... Hulk.

[like_a_dragon]

No. But not because of that. If we swapped lives I wouldn't be with my friends.

[She pauses. As thought to accentuate how important that last part was.]

Chie Satonaka.

[notmonsters]

Hn. That's as good a reason as any. I wouldn't want my life either.

[He gives a sharp nod at her name. Chie. Friend. He's never actually gotten this far in a conversation with anyone before. Most people have run off screaming in terror by now. What do you do after introductions, again?]

Your mun, they decide where they wanna put you yet? Some of these places are dangerous.

[HULK LIKE SPUNKY GIRL. DON'T GET HURT.]

[like_a_dragon]

I think my player has a few things in mind, though I don't really mind the danger.

[She pauses, a sudden thought occurring to her.] ...though...

I heard some of the places make you do... uh... stuff. And I know that nobody would really want to do that with me, but it still has me nervous.

[southpaw_senpai]

If you came to Ruby City, I'm sure Shinji would make you a Beef Bowl. Best chef I've ever seen too.

[like_a_dragon]

Are you SERIOUS?!

[C-Chie, look before you leap... ._.;]

oh god Hulk is from a kids show you'll break him

[notmonsters]

[FRETS LOUDLY. Not so Secretly, Hulk is the mother of all mother hens. He's trapped a friend in a glass tube to keep him from going outside when there was danger. Don't make him sit on you.]

Make you do stuff...? Like control you?!

[Suddenly, ANGER. Hulk clenches his fists and snarls. It's a rather impressive snarl. There might even be a bit of frothing at the mouth going on there.]

DON'T GO THERE.

[Wow, could this guy get any louder? Careful there Hulk, your infamous temper is showing.]

w-well, she's at least AWARE u_u

[like_a_dragon]

Wh-whoa, big guy! C-Calm down! There's no need to get excited!

[she'll be reaching for his arm or the nearest extremity she can reach to try to soothe]

[southpaw_senpai]

Yeah. Better than any place in Iwatodai, that's for sure. Yosuke's there too, he could vouch for Shinji's cooking too.

[...Unless he wanted to get punched.]

There's only one possible problem. [He grins and punches his palm.] If you wanted the left overs, you'd have to go through me.

[like_a_dragon]

Oh no, you're not just giving me the leftovers, I want the whole thing pal. And I'll go through you and anybody else to do it!

[Clearly, this is a girl that knows what she loves... and woe be to anyone that gets in her way.]

[southpaw_senpai]

Hey, I want my share too y'know.

[He just grins and claps her on the shoulder.]

Good to see you again, Chie-san.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Whoa, he likes your enthusiasm! Have a fist pump!] Yo! Man, a whole week? You’d better get on your mun before they slack off even more!

[…And of course you had to mention meat bowls. Good thing he hasn’t met you in his timeline yet, or he would fight you for it!] Pre-packaged, huh? That’s pretty much the same as instant stuff. Meat tastes way better when it’s fresh off the grill!

What kinda place is your mun looking for, anyway?

[like_a_dragon]

Huh?

[That snaps her out of her food fury quick.]

Do I know you, mister?

[Not yet, Chie. Not yet.]

[pishirogane]

So, you faced the truth as well, Chie-senpai...

[There's a faint grin from the detective.] I'm glad to see you're doing well. It's been a while since we've met like this.

[southpaw_senpai]

[Insert awkward head scratch.]

...I guess not. Not yet anyway.

[He offers a hand.]

I'm Akihiko Sanada. My friends - Mitsuru Kirijo and Aigis - got caught up in an incident that involved you guys. We're all Persona users.

1/2

[like_a_dragon]

[FIST PUMP GO] Yeah, I know! I mean, I get that the whole thing is a big mystery and that it was probably for the best to avoid spoilers and everything, but seriously a girl can only be left hanging for so long. You know?

[She pauses, giving Akihiko an appraising look. He's... not bad looking?] ...er, well... maybe??

But yeah! I might not know the finer points of vegetables and fish, but when it comes to meat -- forget about it! That's why Souzai Daigaku will always be better than Junes! And that's a fact.

2/2

[like_a_dragon]

Um... as far as places. I think my player has someplace in mind? Something about a school... for souls?

It sort of sounds like a place I know back home, but... [her shoulders physically slump] Why did it have to be school?

[like_a_dragon]

Chie Sato-

[she was about to reach the hand but something else registered]

YOU'RE A PERSONA USER? NO WAY!

[like_a_dragon]

Naoto-kun! So I guess this is what they mean when they say "I'll see you on the other side?" [She gives a bit of a goofy grin.]
