What am I doing -

[soulsrest]

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.]

[But would the answers he seeks end up being that which he desires in the end? After all, this world was a crossroads in more ways than one. Life and death mattered not in this rather unique rift in space and time. All those drawn to it would return anew.

Ah, the ever-lurking presence... the acceptance of an inevitability for all finite beings... It is a rare sight to behold in someone so young, to be seeking the ultimate end... and the ultimate beginning. The seemingly male figure smirks from beneath the veil of their cap, hiding something from view quite well as the expression turns much more friendly.]

Hi! Welcome to Vatheon! [It's almost as natural as breathing (ha ha), slipping back into the facade. Even moreso to slip into faux concern as they offer a towel.] Oh my, are you alright?

[soulsrest]

[He stares up at the figure, Hypnos on guard. He does take the towel though and starts drying his arms off.]

... Yes, aside from not knowing what this 'Vatheon' is. There was something important I was seeing to.

[Or attempting to... damn pests.]

[handshakegreeting]

[They chuckle, recognizing that forced potential. It was almost like a beacon, and would be even more so to those who could sense it like herself and the Shadows...]

It's a nexus words of sorts, disregarding the common concepts of space and time. [Wait, 'common'?] I am afraid that it will have to wait.

[hmhmhm...]

[soulsrest]

[He does pick up on that, but -]

Unfortunately, I don't believe it can wait. I need to find my way out of here.

[He's so tired of all of this... mundane existence. It would be easier, better, just to let the End come.]

[handshakegreeting]

[You poor, unfortunate soul... and quite literally at that. There may be something rather eerie about the smile crossing the stranger's lips, how they carry themselves.]

I am afraid you are just as trapped as many of those who have taken residence in this place, child. But it is nothing to fear...

[They merely wave a hand, barely extending it to the Persona user, but Hypnos can likely feel it; that same tug Nyx's descent began to stir within mankind.]

...No time passes in our absence, after all. [...and the tug is gone.]

[soulsrest]

[Takaya notices that Hypnos is stirring, tugging, and he frowns at that before returning to the topic at hand.]

There must be a way. Salvation is so close...
