Player Name: Sammy / echigo_wargod

Eikichi woke up face-down on the pavement of the Plaza completely drenched. Son of a bitch. Now his clothes were all wet and his makeup was running. Dammit.

"Damn demons," he cursed, pushing himself to his feet then whipping out a hand mirror to fix his makeup. Looking bad was just out of the question. He had an appearance and a reputation to keep up, after all.

And when he put away the mirror, that was when he noticed something was wrong. He stuck out like a sore thumb, tall and twiggy, with bright blue hair, eyeliner, and heavy jewelry. Eikichi glanced around at the place. It didn't look like anywhere in Sumaru, not that much of the place was left now. It could be another rumor running rampant, changing Sumaru into something like this.

"Okay, someone tell me where I am and what the hell's going on?"

"Perfect!" he exclaimed, clasping his hands together with a smirk. This was working out absolutely wonderfully! "What shop sells clothes here? I haven't seen a Rosa Candida yet..."

[ now I'm tempted to draw these two together all dressed up lol ]

[booyaka_boom]

Selphie clapsed her hands together too, really feeling the whole band motion going on.

"Huh? I don't know anyone called Rosa Candida... But there's plenty of clothes shops around!"

[undie_boss]

"It's the main clothing store in Sumaru City," Eikichi replied. Well what was left of Sumaru, if any. It wasn't in the best of shape as he last saw it.

"How about showing me around?"

[booyaka_boom]

"Oh - right! Sumaru... In Japan? Okay."

Selphie smiled, happier to be more useful now, "Definitely! I'm a pretty good tour guide, you know!"

{and yes, do draw it!~}

[undie_boss]

"Yup," Eikichi replied. He'd never been outside of Japan before so this was a whole new experience. "Sounds like a plan. Guide away!"

[booyaka_boom]

Selphie giggled a little before taking a swift turn on her heel, taking her new friend on Selphie's famous Vatheon tour, pointing out all the important things, and stopping by the clothes places.

[undie_boss]

It was an interesting and very informative tour. The place here wasn't set up like Sumaru at all, which was probably for the better. No city floating in the sky, no Nazis or ancient aliens. Good. Under water, was still a bit weird. It was like being in Atlantis, and with what he'd been through, that was entirely possible. Not that he'd particularly talk about it anyway.

He took more interest in the clothing stores than anywhere else. He wasn't a big eater and was more into clothes and looking good.

[booyaka_boom]

Of course it was! Selphie was Welcoming Committee extraordinaire! Yes, Selphie's tour did include the best place for cake, and for ice cream, and even for sake.

"I've done a little bit of shopping here... It's just so weird, not having ta wear uniform all the time!"

[undie_boss]

Eikichi wasn't interested as much in cake or ice cream (though frozen yogurt wasn't out of the question). He was underage for sake too. He preferred to eat vegetarian, anyway.

Uniform? That caught Eikichi's attention. "Ya go to school too, huh?"

[booyaka_boom]

Well, there just seemed to be some people out there who didn't like treats - but Selphie wasn't one of those people.

"Oh, well, not really. Not any more. I graduated - I'm a solider."

[undie_boss]

"A soldier?" Well she didn't look like a Nazi. Then again, he hadn't ever seen a female Nazi anyway, and she was far too nice to be one anyway. And she hadn't attacked him yet, attempting to seal off his persona. "Which branch?"

[booyaka_boom]

"Uh huh! I don't look much, but I'm a mean fighter!" She smiled brightly at him but shook her head a little.

"Oh, I'm a SeeD. You won't have heard of us... Different world. But back home, we're a pretty big deal!"

Yeah, just a little bit proud of her job.

[undie_boss]

Definitely not a Nazi, but from another world? Well after Xibalba and the Maia, Eikichi wasn't hesitant to accept that answer. But this was interesting, whatever this SeeD thing was (what an odd name for a military organization too).

"A mean fighter, huh," he echoed. She really didn't look it but looks could be deceiving. An ally (especially a cool one) wouldn't be a bad idea. "Whatcha fight with? Elements? Hand to hand? Weapons? Persona?"

[booyaka_boom]

Definitely not a Nazi, though Selphie didn't even know what a Nazi was. At least she wasn't questioned, not even with the name. Most people thought it was weird.

"Yup!" And it wasn't a show of her fighting skills, but she performed a sharp salute as proof. "I use my nunchuks, and magic, and -" Hee-ey, he knew what Persona was. "Oh! You're a persona guy? Well, I have Guardian Forces, and they're kinda similar, I guess."

[undie_boss]

"Guardian Forces? Sounds kind of like a video game," Eikichi noted. Then again, much of the last month or so felt like a video game. "Are they a reflection of your soul? You haven't met that weird Philemon guy, have ya?" he asked curiously.

[booyaka_boom]

Blink, blink. "Huh... yeah, it kinda does sound like a video game. But it's real, honest!"

"Not a reflection... but you have to connect a part of yourself to them so... maybe more like... an extension."

"Philemon?" She shook her head, "Nopes. Sorry."

[undie_boss]

"Huh," Eikichi noted. It sounded like devil summoning, but different. That was too much thinking for him anyway. "Sounds good, babe."

[booyaka_boom]

Babe? Selphie just blinked at that. How many people in the world (or worlds) had ever called her babe? She wasn't sure, but she knew she could count it on one hand. "Uh...yeah. Thanks!"

[undie_boss]

That was just how Eikichi rolled. "Sure would like to see these Guardian Forces sometime." If those two subconscious weasels had anything to say about it, this world was probably plagued by its own share of demons.

[booyaka_boom]

"Yeah, me too. But I can't summon them here. Guess they just can't get through the bubble... or something."

And it was really a shame, cause those GFs would be useful!

[undie_boss]

"That's too bad, babe," Eikichi shrugged. He in truth hoped that wouldn't be true for Persona as well. Persona were reflections of one's inner self, and Eikichi was pretty sure that self was still in tact.

[booyaka_boom]

"Yeah... it kinda is. I miss them a lot." Selphie smiled regardless of the fact, "But you could probably do your Persona okay. I saw it happen once, before."

[undie_boss]

In a way, Selphie reminded Eikichi of Maya, smiling despite a loss. But this wasn't the time to cry over lost friends.

"There's another Persona user here?"

[booyaka_boom]

"Uh huh! His name is Minato - do you know him?"

Cause it was always so so nice to know you already had friends around in this place.

[undie_boss]

Eikichi shook his head and shrugged. "Nope, haven't heard of him."
