This... what have I gotten myself involved with...? [Open]

This place, this tower that appeared... the red moon above... what happened to this place...? Mir was just looking up, her hands digging to the pockets of her slacks while a loose t-shirt hung from her shoulder, revealing one of her shoulders. "Yachiru... is this really their fault?" Mir simply looked up at the seemingly endless tower, not knowing what to think at all... her long black hair flowed behind her as the wind made her feel a cold chill run down her spine... Mir really was well-built, she looked just like a normal girl... apart from the age... her looks never changed, she still looked like she was 15... this was the age her "father" built her with... the age that she'd be stuck with for the rest of her life... she didn't particularly mind but it was still a bit scary for her... living forever... dispelling the thoughts off her mind, Mir simply sat down on the ground and looked up at the red moon, contemplating why the hell she was dressed like this during the night... "Ugh... I should have brought a jacket with me..." Looking quite a bit dazed, Mir really didn't know what to do now.. she wanted to help figure this mystery out... Nyx was begging her to come out... but she had no idea what she'd find inside... Perhaps Doctor Laude would be there... what a silly idea... though she just had a feeling... that something would happen inside... and she had to help... but how...? Mir just waited a while, not really thinking about anything... anybody walking around may have thought she was sleeping... if not for her violet eyes being clearly open, her face displaying a very bored mood... she didn't know what to do now... she didn't want to return home... so she waited...

“Yo! Welcome to your own assorted version of hell that you have to share with… a few others I guess…” Kogami would come out of where he was relaxing, leaving vera by herself. Vera would most likely prefer her space anyway, so Kogami needed someone else to bother while the persona users took their sweet time.  Kogami walked casually as he tipped his fedora. “I wasn’t expecting anyone else at this tower, I guess you’re what they would call… a latecomer right? Anyway, it looks like you’re one with the “Killer” profession with that bondage suit you got on. You wouldn’t happen to be one of the kings right?” Kogami would say simply as he starts to frown and cower in fear. However, that was just a façade for them to drop their guard if anything.   It looked like she was wearing a high-tech battle suit, which kogami thought was  pretty suspicious, who was this girl and how did she get here in the first place? If she wasn’t frozen, she would have the potential. ”You…. you’re not going to hurt me are you? I really am left in the dark about this like you are.”

A voice snapping her out of the daze, Mir looked at the man that just arrived, eyeing him up and down... "Hell...?" She'd whisper to herself... this man knew something and she had to find out what... and a few others...? This was all so confusing to her... Yoro wasn't like this before... but... she did remember a sudden jump some time... but when...? Days went by without her noticing... Yoro was... frozen...? A headache hit her mind as she calmed down, not really reacting much to it... "Bondage...? What's that?" Asking with a poker face, Mir really didn't know... she wasn't very adept on "sexual" things, as they were... and in either case, she was still wearing slacks over it... though not very tight, she guessed... still, where did the suit come from again...? She didn't remember entering with it... oh well, if she had to fight, it was still the most optimal attire... at least she wasn't wearing her maid outfit... "Ah, actually... I'm just an employee of the Yachiru corporation... I left for a business trip for a few years and just now returned... they didn't inform me of this back where I was at all..." A little lie to set the mood, maybe get a little information.. Mir didn't believe this guy at all, his behavior was spotty all around... and she felt.... something weird from him. "Kind sir, do you happen to know what happened to my employer's corporation here?" She'd ask in her sweetest fake tone, hoping this sucker would buy it, she didn't display any kind of irregularity in her speech or anything, she just sat there and talked casually... for all the man would know, Mir was just another chick that got roped into this... though she smirked mentally, her face just showed signs of pleading, as if she was about to cry... lies and deceit are her specialty, after all... "Um, really, I need to know... without Yachiru, I can't get the money I need to live..." Now she was almost pleading to pity, maybe the man would take her inside, defend her, even... she was really begging it to him, almost... Waiting for his reaction, Mir looked down to the ground in her best sad expression she could muster... which was pretty good, Kogami shouldn't suspect a thing... though she was also interested in what he knew... kings, that stuff... Mir chose not to answer, she had no idea what was going on and her act may at least have helped in making him think she was an ally... something Mir didn't even know if she wanted to be or not...

Strength:

Well, Vera was around. That kind of meant that playtime was over if Vera was going to take this seriously. “Well, I was expecting her to be one of the Kings, but I could be wrong. “ Kogami then turns back to face the girl. “I’m Kogami Shibuya, I’m sure my infamy precedes me, they really make me out to be a dangerous criminal. I think I am pretty dangerous when I want to be….Miss….and your looking pretty ……….stylish……there so I think I’ll give you a fair explanation ” Kogami would say as he kept that same smiling look on his face. “Yachiru corporation, is doing a bunch of hocus pocus that’s throwing this part of the world out of wack. If you’re here, it could mean that you have access to a persona, or there is something special about you. Your company is planning to destroy this world and kill everyone that resides in it. If you care, you will do exactly as I say and do your best to cooperate if you want to live. This is not only a threat to your life, but the lives of others around you, including us. Currency no longer matters in this situation, your entire means of living is dependent on us clearing this tower and most likely killing your bosses. We’re not in Kansas anymore, but I wouldn’t call you Dorothy either. I think ill call you Suzy, you don’t mind right? Were friends now after all…..”


Kogami would then start with his questioning. “Don’t hold anything back; you’re fucked if you lie. This female next to me is a walking lie detector test and she’s not so welcoming when it comes to newcomers. What makes you special? What are you? Shadow? Human? One of those androids that we saw in the tower that resembles other people we know? What’s your name? What do you know about the Yachiru cooperation? Do you know anything about this situation or the tower? Are you related to or associated with any employee of the Yachiru that might know of this, or the kings of the tower? What’s your three sizes?” Kogami threw that last question in as a joke, but he was serious about the rest.

She didn't know how to react... the people were buying her words and it was not going well for her... Mir had to think, fast... she didn't really know how to respond but the girl had confirmed her doubts about Yachiru... and gave her a very useful piece of information indeed... Yatagarasu, Mikoto... she had no idea who these names belonged to but she was sure she'd meet them eventually if she just kept going... Mir gulped at Kogami's words... she didn't know such a thing like this tower could pose so much of a threat.. what was she saying, of course she knew... that's why she was drawn here in the first place... though she didn't mind dropping the lie and answering truthfully, it was only fair since they had given her such useful pieces of information so far... so, sitting back down, Mir began with a flurry of answers to the flurry of questions, beginning with an explanation. "Alright, fine... first of all, I'm not with Yachiru at all, miss lie detector, you should know that..." Keeping up her poker face, she didn't mean to throw aggression to Vera at all... her words were just meant to clarify and maybe tease the girl a bit... "I guess I'd be an android, then... an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, as we're called." No hesitation, Mir was used to this... laying her life bare... she had no qualms on doing it again. "My Persona's name is Nyx, my full name is Mir Jaqli Trinity and I work at a maid cafe back in Yoro." Stating matter-of-factly, Mir fully intended on dispelling any doubts about her any of them could have. "What I know of Yachiru is what I heard on the streets and everything you just told me. I came here because I have no idea what this tower is and I need to find out... much more now that I know Yachiru's involved..." Mir now shook her head, thinking back on her life... a very bad point of it... "...I don't know. My father may have been an employee but he never told me his day job. Either way, he's dead now so I doubt that matters." And she kept hearing about kings, what or who were they? "Look, I'm clueless on this, it's why I lied in the first place, believe me..." Her poker face kept still all throughout this talk... Mir was saying the truth as it were, something she did only when in severe risk... she had no idea what to do now. Though his last question did bring a smirk to her face. "Come measure me yourself, why won't you?" This was a joking answer to a joking question... Mir felt satisfied at how she answered and hoped she didn't leave any details behind... though if she did, she was ready to correct herself right away. Mir... wasn't intent on following orders.. but sucking it up, she just... submitted, she had to know what the hell was happening to her home town... she herself was surprised she even got through this without stuttering... knowing how not concentrated she usually was... she shrugged mentally and awaited both their answers...

Strengths:

Kogami listened carefully as he folded his arms. “Mir huh? I never met your kind before,  android were always somewhat of a SCIFI thing to me. I mean, besides the one we killed an hour ago….no pressure though.” Kogami would say with a sly smile as he continued to elaborate. “Hmmm… well…   I guess were out of leads if your father is dead. Poor bastard, you’re in luck then. It’s most likely not an accident and you’re free to take your revenge, I guessing were all embracing the killing spirit when it comes to a shitty company like Yachiru. “ Kogami thought it was funny that Mir was being pretty bold about the measuring part, but he refrained from laughing.  However, Kogami’s mind was brought back to focus  as Vera uttered to him that she wanted to test Mir’s durability. He also questioned  kogami on telling his life story, maybe that’s a sign that he talked too much. “ Right right, I know…… “ Kogami would then turn back to Mir as he started to transform into his true self, being surrounded by an endless array of snakes.

These strange snakes are completely green, and seen to sprout from all around his body, even from his shadow, without messing up his clothes. “Hey …. Suzy chan…. Or should I call you Mir? Let’s hope you was telling the truth about being a robot.  Shhh….. just let it happen….”Kogami would say as his fork like tongue vibrated. Kogami sent three of his ectoplasm snakes to bite Mir’s arm as hard as they could. Kogami could feel the motion  that the snakes would experience from biting her, so he would notice if it was a metal substance or something.

True self appearence

Spoiler:

Though the girl was still suspicious of her, Mir found herself to be glad as Kogami actually believed her, even a slight bit... "Blame my father for this, I didn't want this shitty body either." Shrugging, Mir couldn't really say her kind was common at all... Doctor Kenshiro Laude was certainly an interesting man and could even be called a genius... if not for one thing... his naivety. He thought Mir would do whatever he pleased without question... but that's a story for another time. ...did he just say killed? "Well, I'm sure whatever you killed wasn't the same as me." She wasn't just a mindless drone, she actually thought and was able to feel... and Kogami's words hit her in the sweet spot, she could sense this man knew what he was talking about. "He really was a bastard, you know? Piece of shit kept me locked up and "refining" me until I was nearly 19." Though Mir looked really young, almost of fifteen years of age physically, her true age was ten years older, at twenty-five... though she wasn't about to reveal that to either of them unless they inquired themselves... though she'd look questionably at both of them once they started talking with their backs thrown to them... and even more once Kogami's body started sprouting snakes, of all things... how fun. "Ah, I see..." Closing her eyes with a smile on her face, Mir simply let the snakes bite into her, through her soft tissue layer, the topmost one, and feeling the clang hit her metallic structure underneath... a bit deeper than normal human touch could feel... "You can feel it, right, Kogami?" She's speak with a bit of a smirk. "My first lie was because I was desperate, alright? Aside from that, I have no reason to lie to you at all..." Getting up, Mir looked into Kogami's eyes. "Fine, you've convinced me. I'll work with you for now, I need to get to the bottom of this case myself." Mir spoke with a smirk as she ignored the pain from the snakes' bites, instead focusing on the two in front of her. "Honestly... you two are very interesting... I don't feel "Him" within you... I feel something other... but that's fine, this isn't about Them right now..." Shaking her head, Mir was brought back to the blue butterfly she saw in her dreams... how its presence was obscure right now... even within her... she didn't have any of Them with her.. only a Persona created through pure ego, one from hatred and regret... Nyx, the Darkness she desired and the darkness she gave her father... Mir was willing to follow these two... they were... mighty interesting... and the information they carried was valuable to her... "You can go ahead and call me Jaqli... and you, miss, I don't believe I caught your name." She was speaking as if bored, her face expressionless, the pain from the snakes gone even though their talons were still very much stabbing into her... she lost all feeling of pain for now... and on her face shone a cocky smile.
Waiting for their answer, Mir wasn't intending on backing down on her promise... no, that wasn't who she was at all...

Strength:

“Oh? You don’t trust me either? Well that hurts my feelings…” Kogami would say with a casual tone as he reverts from his true self transformation and puts his snakes away. “So, this girl really is a robot. I never met one before; I didn’t even know technology advanced as far as it did. Anyway, let’s just hope she’s as decent as she says.” Kogami would say in his head as Vera claimed to retreat to her favorite tree and watch the doorway. When she left, Kogami made a small whistling tune and looked back at Mir. “Well, that was a..well…. I wouldn’t say you two are on the best of terms right now. But your eagerness of playing nice and working with us should get you out of trouble. But, we all have trust issues, so we have to be 100% with each other. There is a bunch of other people in the tower right now that you’ll most likely have an easier time talking to. I guess you could always wait for them to come back and refrain from making the same mistake you did a minute ago. “ Kogami would then shrug after saying that. “But what do I know? It’s not like you can trust whatever I say, right? Just like we can’t trust everything you say? But since I’m your babysitter, I don’t mind humoring you.”

Mir was pretty laid back right now, at least she knew she wouldn't die... by their hands, if nothing else... "Eh, you guys look fun..." She said with a smirk... these two were amusing to watch, almost like a brother and sister the way they quarreled some times... "Miss, what I meant in working with you was that I would follow your orders, nothing more..." She'd have to make that correction now as Vera had to know that Mir wasn't particularly attached to either of them either... still, not being trustworthy was normal for her... she lied her whole life to get here, after all... "Kogami, I don't think that girls likes me... all the better, she won't feel anything if and when I die." Shrugging, Mir wasn't intending on dying but she couldn't rule off the possibility. "Also, are there really my kind in the tower? I honestly doubt they're anything like me but that's for you to say, I have no real idea..." Lying down on the ground, Mir looked up at the red moon in the sky, thinking about the lie she told and how it was pretty much the worst thing she could have said. "Hey, Kogami." Calling out to him, Mir continued to look to the sky with an expressionless face on. "In this group you spoke of, is there anyone who can prove my innocence?" She'd ask... not really wanting to keep being distrusted. "Also, what's that girl's name? I don't believe she told me at all..." With a smirk, Mir looked at Vera sitting by the tree... both of these people weren't really bad per se... but still, she could feel something other than the blue butterfly within them... Mir couldn't trust them fully either for now... so she couldn't ask that they'd trust her... it just wasn't logical to her... but Mir ground her teeth at how Vera called her "thing" as well... though she forgave her for now... she honestly knew no better androids than the ones in the tower so she couldn't be blamed... though she was still quite a bit noticeably angry... getting called names wasn't much to her liking but at this time, she'd have to let it slide... Mir was almost impressed with herself... this was indeed rare, for her to be able to control herself so easily... just looking up, Mir put her hand over her forehead, she wanted to rest a bit while she waited for the others.. and besides, if she stayed put, there might be a chance these two wouldn't tell the rest of the group what she lied about... if they did, she'd never find the truth... closing her eyes, Mir tried to sleep for a while, waiting, though she'd keep herself alert just in case...

Weakness:

I honestly can’t speak on her behalf. Those hamster wheels in her head is always turning, it’s hard to guess what she’s thinking at times. I’m a wild card myself, but it’s more based off of impulsive behavior. But I wouldn’t say that you should worry about what a stranger would think if you did, try to harden your solve and think about your….. friends… that’s what you call them right? They would miss you if you’re gone……I’m sure there’s someone left in the world you give a shit about besides your dead dad. ” Kogami would take off his hat for a brief moment as he runs his hand through his hair. “As for your kind, I’m not sure. So far after one encounter, they like to take the form of people that we know who are dead or M.I.A, simply to torment us. I don’t know if there’s anyone in that other group of associates that could prove if you are innocent. Let’s put it this way, your success probability of getting along with them is much higher than mine or the ice princess over there by nature. Kogami would say as he points back at Vera and puts his hat on. “I guess knowing a name won’t hurt, her name is Vera. Try calling her Vera-chan to get on her good side“ Kogami knew that wasnt true, but he wondered hpw egar Mir was to gain acceptance.

Mir was honestly intrigued by Kogami's words... Vera was a wild card and so was he? How interesting, Mir honestly thought of herself as pretty predictable... these two would really be fun. "Friends? I don't think I ever made any." She'd utter, her eyes still closed... "I left school more than seven years ago and never went to college, you think I have any more friends now?" Mir wasn't lying, she had nothing in common with anyone, really... "Eh, give a shit about? My dad?" Smirking, Mir wasn't sure what to think of this sentence... "The fucker kept me locked up to test on me. He made sure I couldn't age just so he could have something to look at. He gave me a metallic body and kept my physical age at no more than 15." Mir was ranting at this point... she wasn't fully mechanical, more like a cyborg... but still, she felt terrible, her body couldn't age, she couldn't die of natural causes... at least she could breed... "Hmph... if I gave a shit about my dad, I wouldn't have killed him when I did." She let it out, finally... the truth of what she'd done... she wasn't ashamed of it nor did she regret it... Mir had killed her father, not two ways about it... "Well, I hope you're right about them." She didn't know what to think anymore... she lost a bit of her composure through that rant... "Vera, huh? Cure name, I gotta say..." Sitting up now, Mir looked around and yawned. "I doubt that, if we're not really on best terms with each other, calling her that would just earn me a trip down to Hell." Mir was speaking sarcastically while shrugging... though her first sentence wasn't a lie at all... though she wasn't really sure how Vera'd react if she heard her say it... "Hmm... well. I'd much prefer to be on everyone's good side but I'm pretty sure I ruined it with her..." Smirking once again, Mir shrugged and shook her head lightly. "Honestly, most I could do to make you, at least, trust me enough, is show you to my home, then you'd see what I'm saying is true." Mir was speaking quite cockily, her voice lacking any real tone... though what she said was true, nothing in her house tied her to Yachiru... so what bad was it that she said it? Looking towards Vera sitting by the tree, Mir just decided to stay by Kogami for now, she'd have the chance to talk to her afterwards, if needed.

“Oh? So this isn’t your true form? You appeared to be a much older women whose body was replaced with a metallic one? So what does that make you?  Robo MILF? The immortal lolicon? ” Kogami would then laugh at his own joke before he continued. “Well it’s a good thing you killed your old man then, who the hell wants to live the rest of their life as a science experiment. Sounds like a shit life; even a bastard like myself wouldn’t want that for anyone. That’s not the way to live, at least you have your freedom, which is what we both have in common for the time being“ The disappearance of the two gods was practically a blessing in disguise, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about Nyra anymore if the crawling chaos really bailed. “I believe you and all that so don’t worry about proving anything to me. You killed your father because you wanted your life back, and now Yachiru is threatening that life you worked so hard to get back, killing your flesh and blood.  Are you going to let them take from you Mir?” This was actually an honest question in Kogami’s standards. When Mir exclaimed her worries about the pesona users, Kogami laughed out loud. “Those goody two shoes? Don’t worry,  I’ll tell you what to expect. First person you should take notice of is the blond with big opai!!!!!”
Kogami would say as he playfully raises his hand as wide as he could. “Then we have romeo who thinks he’s too cool. Some red head who rubs me in a very uncomfortable way, something about her is strange but I don’t know what. And then, we have my good friend Kahn, that musclebound weasel moherfucker. “Kogami would say this with a big smile on his face. “Doesn’t that sound like a happy family to you?”
