What am I doing -

Character: Takaya Sakaki
Fandom: Persona 3
Player Name: Matt

[The last thing he had remembered was pain - pain and the voices of the members of SEES around him. Death was close, and Nyx was coming. She would bring her salvation to everyone.]

[And yet... he feels somewhat damp. That is strange - strange enough that he opens his eyes and looks around. He seems to be in a plaza - but that cannot be. He was dead, even if they had managed to stop her - which was impossible no matter what they believed.]

[He snatched up his gun and shrugs his shoulders, attempting to gain feeling back in them where they are starting to go a little numb and cold. He will explore this place... and find the answers that he seeks.]

Comments

[soulsrest]

[He just stares at her, head tilted to the side in amusement. So she was here, as well... were any of the others here? Hmm... this could be a problem.]

[The question nearly makes him laugh, though. Lost? No one was truly lost if they lived in the moment as he did. And how could he be lost, when he was on his way to salvation?]

Not quite - though this place is unfamiliar.

[tsundyne]

[That laughter's always been unsettling for her. A lot's changed, SEES has been through a lot, but in the end, when he laughs like that, she can only picture the maniac with the gun who shot Shinji.

Her senpai, the one she barely got to know...

It wasn't fair. And it still isn't, if the Coral saw fit to bring him here.

...Yeah, she's throwing the towel at him now. She has to let out her anger somehow.]

Just dry off and stay out of trouble. Your friends aren't here, so don't even think about trying anything.

[soulsrest]

[He pats his shoulders down a bit, and smirks at her comment.]

'Try anything'? Everything that's needed has already been done.

[It's so close... an end to such a miserable and mundane existence.]

[tsundyne]

...Maybe at home. But it's a completely different world here.

[Or had he really not noticed?

No, Yukari knows he has. And she might be a little miffed that he wouldn't even allow her the satisfaction of seeing him flinch at the thrown towel-- but oh well.

He always has been hard to rattle, and it's rare to ever see him out of sorts.]

So get used to it.

[soulsrest]

I've noticed.

[He does allow himself a moment to fish into his pockets, looking for something. He pulls out an empty plastic bag and scowls at it. Of course. He had used the last of them before they climbed the tower.]

[This... would be unpleasant.]

[tsundyne]

[A plastic bag...?

Whatever was in there is gone now. But you bet she'll still keep a close eye on his movements.]

What's that?

[soulsrest]

The remnants of an aid for those of us who were not lucky enough to be born with the power you were.

[He scowls and crumples up the bag, shoving it back into his pocket.]

[tsundyne]

[Oh, right. The pills. Shinji hadn't talked about it much, but-- then again, he didn't really have much of a chance to.

Tch. Takaya looks pretty angry about it... bitter.]

Right. And I'm supposed to feel sorry for you after what you did?

Please.
