| Genji heard his cell phone beep in confirmation this morning when the text message was sent. Ejji Reiguu was the guy that was the intended receiver of this message. Genji would request in that message that Ejji would train with him in Limbo together. Even though he may have not been on the best terms with his fellow Persona User, Naito, Genji would follow his advice. Naito told Ejji and Genji to train hard, to be better Users for the next time the dungeon is delved into. Genji took this as very good advice. Genji waited a little bit at the designated time, but decided to go in anyway. If anything, Ejji might not even show up, so why waste the night? Genji told him which door to go through, so he would have an easy time finding him if he showed up. He did trust Ejji, he just didn't want to waste the free time that he had. If Ejji would be offended, Genji would just try to explain what is happening. Hard feelings would be a nuisance right now of all times.
Genji stepped into the entrance of Limbo, he didn't walk far from the entrance, but he walked far enough for the shadows to find him interesting. That it would take a little run to safely get out of there. If Ejji would ever come, then it would be rather easy for him to catch up, maybe even join a battle if necessary. But Genji had to do this if Ejji didn't want to, he had to be stronger as a User in order to solve this mystery. It could be anyone who is thrown into Limbo, Genji wanted to make sure that less people were thrown in, that this mystery of who threw him into Limbo would be solved. As he walked closer to his destination, he thought about anything that he may have remembered from waking up in Limbo, but there was nothing. It was aggravating that he didn't remember anything at all, but it didn't matter. He could have a chance at solving the mystery, even if he couldn't remember a thing at all.

| Ejji had received the message from Genji, stating that he wanted to "train" together on some Shadows in Limbo. The white-haired boy cursed internally. Now he had to sneak out of the house at night - how shameful. More than that - Genji was too hasty, but the Reiguu decided to give the lecture when he saw the one at fault, so he made sure to arrive into Limbo on time.
They had decided to meet at the a set entrance into Limbo. When Ejji arrived the other boy had already been present in the immediate area. Ejji had once again donned on the same casual combo which he used for their first dungeon run, and as soon as he was sure that he was inside the trecherous realm - he made sure to summon his trusty Okatana to his left hand.
Turning to Genji, Ejji would make sure to show a frown. Genji needed to know what his friend was thinking of this whole thing. "I am pleased that you are eager... however... this is too hasty. We just had an adventure in the Sewer Tunnel - and now you want us to go into Limbo, without and plan in our heads." Ejji shook his head, closing his eyes for a few moments.
This was rash and foolish. Curse his own code of honor - Ejji would not let Genji died here alone or let him go without support. The snow-haired young man had enough rest to be in a good condition, but it was still not wise to challenge the hostile realm at this time. But he supposed what was done is done and there was no real option but to make the best out of being here. Coming in and going back was not even to be considered.
"Alright. We need to move on, but first let us take a look around this place."
Ejji guessed that they were standing in a square of some sort, but what part of the twisted mirror image it was - he could not really understand. Ejji began walking around the area, examing it for something that would catch his perceptive eyes. He wondered if there could be anything in this realm aside from Shadows and clues. Perhaps he would find something useful, or perhaps Limbo was devoid of anything that could help at least a little bit.
"Tell me if you spot anything out of... well - ordinary for this world." Ejji looked back to Genji as he said that. There was no need for "hello's" or plesantires while here. They would talk more once they examined the area and made sure it was safe. Ejji was also weary of anything coming to rip them limb from limb. | |

| Genji frowned at Ejji. He knew that this was hasty, yeah, but Naito was also very hasty about this. Genji wasn't offended, but he chose to be a little defensive towards his friend.
"Sorry about that. I'm getting a lot of mixed feelings about Naito. He is also rushing in here, he might be more powerful than we are. I don't want him to get much more powerful. He is very controlling, I don't like where that is going. If someone like him could be strong enough to take us, then who knows what he could do? Maybe it's a combination of trust and my own personal values. I don't want this to continue on any longer. We need to be dedicated in order to stop this, or else we leave it up to Naito. I don't want to argue with you, but something like this needs to happen."
Genji was walking as he was saying this, he was keeping his eyes peeled for any suspicious activity in Limbo. Limbo was almost like a person, it had its own personality. It also didn't like people. It didn't like anyone for that matter. Limbo was a rather anti-social place to explore. It was always a nerve racking place to be, too. Surprises at every corner. Maybe it was like a carnival or a circus. Yeah, Limbo was definitely an anti social circus. It was complete madness, but without the fun.
Genji thought of his other fears in his life as he continued carefully into the dungeon. His fears were almost nothing compared to the horrors that were just regular experiences here. Genji hoped that this place wouldn't desensitize him from the real world. There were scarier things in the real world, too. He had to think about college, he also had to think about the rest of his life. It was so close. He was just waiting to get back his applications from his colleges. But with all of the messes that go on here, he might as well stay local. His new chapter was jus beginning, but he was worried that it would end by this Limbo stuff just as quickly.
He hoped that his friend Ejji was taking this well. If it was this stressful on Genji, it could be that way for anyone. Genji was rather laid back and didn't let much bother him, but this was a lot more than simply dealing with college or that he was gay. This would continue whether he was mentally fit for it or not. He had to make sure that everyone was okay, but this wasn't the best place to do it. Limbo had its way of being a horrible place for things. But they just had to deal with it in the end. Who else would deal with it then? | |

| (Sorry Reg, you took over 48 hours to post, so I'm going to post ahead of you.)
As Genji reached the corner of the hallway that he was in, he peered around it. There was nothing to be seen at all. He thought it might be dangerous to go that deep alone, so he decided to turn around and walk back down the hallway to the entrance of Limbo. He needed to find a different door, one that would easily lead him to some shadow battles. If he went too far, he would be in a lot of trouble, especially since he had no way of getting back, so he had to leave and find a better way to do this. He found the large red door and left Limbo, only to return a little later. [Exit Door 10]
-An hour later-
[Enter Door 45] Genji walked around the areas of Yoro forever until he found another door to Limbo. He made sure to write the location of this one down for later use. As he entered the door, he found himself in Limbo for the second time that night. This time, he didn't play any games. He found that there were two doors at the edge of the room. They were both filled with mystery. Genji picked the left door, hoping to find an easier way to find shadows than in the last path he had taken. | |

| Since the Persona User took the left path he would immediately come across Shadows to impede his progress. Blocking the path through the doorway would be two Shadows. One was the dancing hand that seemed to twirl around madly, almost awaiting combat. The other was a floating ball like Shadow that had a wide grin and a tongue to match. If Genji wished to proceed pass the doorway, he would need to defeat both Shadows in combat. Then he'd be able to continue his journey within the madness of Limbo. - Slipping Hablerie:

| Genji's heart started beating as he crossed paths with the two shadows. The one shadow looked similar to the one that he faced in the dungeon earlier. The other was a creepy mouth that looked like it could eat Genji whole. Genji wasn't as experienced in battle. He was still new to this. He didn't have two others to back him up, either. This was actually terrifying to him. But he couldn't rely on others right now. He had to get stronger himself if no one else wanted to be there with him. He tightened the grip on his lance, he was ready to do this.
Genji focused on his Persona, he saw the card reveal itself before him. He saw the picture of a man hanging upside down on the one side, a mask on the other. He stabbed at it with his lance as the familiar weakened feeling washed over his body. He called out into the air, "Let's do this Belial!" The facade of his true self appeared behind him in all of his dark glory as he bashed the dancing hand with the flat side of his sword twice. Almost immediately, Belial disappeared from view. Genji only hoped that his attacks struck true.Genji's Stats:- Spoiler:

| The dancing hand would be slammed by the attack that would force it a few feet back. Recovering its stance, it'd continue to dance in place even while injured. The attack certainly did some damage. At this moment the Slipping Hablerie would shoot forward towards Genji in a spin. Having its tongue out, it would whip it down on top of the Persona-user for just a small amount of damage. And like a bouncing ball, it'd bounce right back to its original position. Slowly rotating up into the air, the Dancing Hand would crawl beneath the previous attacking Shadow to perform his own follow up. However instead of a frontal attack, this Shadow would snap its fingers and fire and Ice bullet directly into Genji. The damage would be moderate, and much stronger than the first attack from the Shadow. Once the attack was complete, the two Shadows would re position themselves with the Slipping Hablerie infront of the Dancing Hand, almost as if it was protecting the latter. - Slipping Hablerie:

| Genji grunted in pain as the large mouth whipped its tongue down on him. The force caused his body to jerk downward, but didn't hurt too too much. It was certainly going to cause a bruise tomorrow. The hand let its ice bullet out with the snap of its fingers, the bolt hit Genji with a moderate force, but the real pain was the freeze that came afterwards. Genji could feel his body temperature rapidly drop. He jumped up and down in pain and yelped. It wasn't the most graceful of sights, but there wasn't anyone to see.
Now angry, Genji quickly stabbed his card, yelling out, "Persona!" The weakening was getting to be less and less of a hassle now. Belial appeared out of the blue mist from Genji, the Persona saw through the ruse of the Dancing Hand, it appeared behind it and cleaved at the shadow, hoping to kill it. Genji's Stats:- Spoiler:

| Once the dancing hand was hit once again, it would fall to the ground and curl into a fist. Suddenly it'd melt back into its original tar like form before dissipating back within Limbo. The Slipping Hablerie would shoot forward once again in a spin before coming down to slam Genji with its tongue once again. Though it was the last Shadow, it remained in battle to keep the Persona-User from proceeding further within the dungeon. Limbo itself seemed to grown out of annoyance and irritation from the Persona-User's persistence. Words began to line the building walls all notifying the user to turn back or be killed. What exactly was this place hiding? - Slipping Hablerie:

| As Genji defeated the first shadow before him, he didn't see the attack of the second's coming. He felt the gross, slimy tongue of the shadow slam against his body. As the tongue slammed into the side of his body, Genji realized that he wasn't prepared and tried to prepare for the worst. The attack would have probably knocked him over if he wasn't paying attention. The attack slammed into him, knocking him off balance. He staggered to the side as he tried to gain his balance. He got his footing again and concentrated. The card appeared in front of him as he focused. Another attack that would drain him, but they proved to be effective. Belial came out of blue mist and struck the mouth ball shadow twice, maybe he will be done after this, but there was never a guarantee with these things.

| The enemy would be struck twice and would fall to the ground. Stopping its hovering, it'd continue to bounce and down from the ground with a rather disgruntled grin. Obviously the Shadow was close to death, but it wouldn't run from the confrontation. Instead it would perform a rollout forward at great speeds to slam into the one named Genji and knock him against the wall. Once hitting the ball with the bash damage, it would continue to roll around. The next attack would most likely finish it off. - Slipping Hablerie:

| Genji was excited to see the shadow go down. He thought that it was all over. But wait! The shadow wasn't dead yet! It just used it to its advantage. Before Genji could dodge, the shadow rolled its body into Genji, forcing him back against the wall. Genji yelped in pain once it was all over. He staggered forward, regaining his balance. The shadow looked to be near death, probably another Kill Rush would be able to do it. Genji concentrated and stabbed the card again. The energy fueled the attack that would end it. Genji wondered whether he would continue on or not after this. He was getting tired, but he could heal himself...Genji's Stats:- Spoiler:

| As the shadow was defeated. Genji could only sit there and try to catch his breath. He never had an encounter alone, but he did it. He was happy, but also terrified, he quickly healed himself as he caught his breath. He felt the healing power of his Persona's magic wash over him. He was feeling much better, but he was still tired. He would come back another day, but not right now. He was too tired to continue on. He quickly exited the dungeon, hoping to come back and get stronger at a later time.[Exit Genji, running out of the dungeon] Exit Stats and Actions:- Spoiler:
