Velvet Mall // Open

[Thanatos is currently alone in the Velvet Mall rather late at night. He was tired but lately he could barely sleep at all with the realistic nightmares that occur whenever he had his eyes shut. Anyway, at the moment he is sitting at a table with the Compendium in his arms which he obviously took from Orpheus. He opens the book and leafs through a few of the pages before shutting it with a sigh. How was he supposed to save Orpheus from ceasing to exist when he couldn't even master Persona fusion quite right? He was such a lost cause ... If only he could just switch places with Orpheus. Except Orpheus would never allow that to happen. They both had to exist in the end... If only Thanatos knew how. He just didn't know enough and Orpheus only had a year left before he went back into the Seal.]

Worthless...

[Sighs and sets the Compendium down on the table so he can also set his arms on the book and then smack his head down without too much of a headache. He should really practice Persona fusion more but with Orpheus always suffering because of Nyx, Erebus now faffing about the Mall and his own nightmares of becoming the Nyx Avatar getting even worse, he was just too damn tired to care. What did it matter, anyway? In a year, he'll lose Orpheus and then it won't matter if he could fuse Persona or manipulate reality. He'll always just be Death without his Assistant.]

Can't I just dream of cute girls for once? ... Without having to drown in the hot springs? Ugh...

I have. It was a strange encounter, but there was no doubt that we were one and the same, only hailing from different worlds.

That's right. I've met a few others who are also me just like that as well. Haha, one is even a God. It's really hard to believe at times...

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
A God? So even that can happen...

It makes me want to visit these worlds my doubles came from to see what they're like.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
There are quite a few Gods about...

I'm sure it must be possible. I mean, we all go through various doors in the first place while looking for our own. You could walk into theirs and not even know. Well, unless they were with you.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
So that's why I've been sensing auras similar to Spirits... but I'm sure they're not quite the same.

Isn't there a chance to get stuck in those doors though? According to the information someone gave me.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
...Spirits? Do you mean Personas?

Well, I'm sure if the doors close on you while you're inside... Yeah. There's probably a chance you could get stuck. Though, I wouldn't know for sure.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, Spirits. I don't have a Persona.

I wonder if the risk is too high. What are the chances of the door closing on a person when they're inside?

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's all right, I don't have a Persona either. Everyone else I know does.

Hm... I wouldn't know, to be honest.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
None of those from my world does. Although it seems having Persona is a commonality around here.

Hmm. It seems I will need to do more research before planning to venture past those doors.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's also a lot more safer to go with another person! You wouldn't want to explore the doors on your own. Trust me on that.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, of course. I'm not so reckless that I would go alone unless it's absolutely necessary.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's good to hear! Wouldn't want you to get hurt.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ She blinks at him at that, puzzled. But she decides not to question it. ]

... Thank you.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, nothing.

I just... think it's odd that you would be so concerned over a stranger.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
A stranger? You're not a stranger now that I know you.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, maybe not a complete stranger, but we have only met for a few minutes.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's true... Still, why wouldn't I be concerned over a cute girl like you, Naoto?

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
... W-what?!

[ Cue stutter, red face, and a generally bumbling Naoto. ]

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah - What's wrong, Naoto? You're all red - ! Come on, it's all right. You really are cute.

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
T-that's-

[ And she flushes even more, feet rooted to the ground although she wants to bolt and run away. ]

I- I ask that you keep those comments to yourself. They're hardly relevant to the conversation.

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
S... Sorry! I didn't mean to upset you...

[identity profile] hamabending.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh- no, I'm not-

[ She bites her bottom lip. She didn't mean it to come out that way, but apparently it did. It seems she has inadvertently made someone misunderstand her once again. ]

I'm not upset, per se. I'm just-...


... I... I'm not accustomed to that kind of comments...

[identity profile] itsnotaleash.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
O... Oh, I see. Well, I'm glad you're not upset at least.
