We Need To Talk (Sharaku)

''One of the many problems, yes.'' Simon was pretty much the recent one. At least, a recently found one. He'd bet that the guy had been observing their efforts for a while before deciding to poke out his own head.

He would smirk thinly. ''This thing won't really hurt you. I was just making an example, and this is the only one I can legitimately do without destroying something in the process.'', he would elaborate, as the butterfly simply waved its wings about. He could, but did not have to use them as a way of causing some harm. They proved to also be a good way to provide examples of what all can one's powers really do, aside from summoning a Persona and all the basics.

He would frown, somewhat thoughtfully. ''Because...completing their competion is seemingly also a way out of this. If someone were to accomplish getting a Wish through, I figure it would be enough to thwart the Primordials by being fullfilled. That's just an assumption, however. It seems that just like the Primordials have a higher being they are trying to summon...solving the Angels' puzzle brings out one as well. I believe they call them the Father and the Mother respectively. For whatever reason. I'm not sure what is the true merit of doing both of these things at once, but there most likely is something. I cannot claim I know completely everything, as gathering the info is a rather slow process. It takes some work.'', he would smile thinly. He didn't truly know. The answers they were receiving were often vague, and not easy to make a clear conclusion out of.

Joshua felt a bit relieved hearing that whatever this butterfly thing was, it wouldn't harm him. Seriously, he just couldn't get used to all this weird stuff. Though now there seems to be mention of a Mother and Father. Something that might be higher than the Primordials and the Angels? This is definitely worrying. So if Sharaku was right, then they both hand similar goals. It seems more important to take out the Primordials than ever. Having to deal with two would no doubt be a Herculean task. Could Simon even take on such an entity as well? He felt doubtful about it.

"Alright. I think I got it now. A bit much to digest. But one more question. What's a Persona, exactly?"

Subject: Re: We Need To Talk (Sharaku) Wed Aug 26, 2015 6:15 pm

Hmm, no more questions related to that? Alright then. He could live with that. Guess it meant he got the point across well enough. He would scratch at his cheek a bit at the following, less related question. Ah, the obvious. Sadly, not for him. Although, he knew what a Persona was in definition at least. But not experience.

''Erm....You could say that a Persona is basically...you. It's a manifestation of your inner strength given actual form, allowing it to fight and protect you from harm. It's literally..a part of you.'', he would fall silent for a moment, before adding. ''However, this one thing...is what you should probably ask someone else, if you're also looking for an explanation about more indepth stuff. I'm different than the lot of you. I can fight, but I do not have a Persona myself. I only know what they are from sight, and what I've been told. Instead of actual personal experience.'' It was best to elaborate on that, at least. It wasn't the easiest to explain something you don't actually know for real.

All in all, it looks like Personas are just a part of humanity. So it's probably kind of natural. Not that Joshua would consider it that way anyway. Though at least now he knew what Personas are, or some idea of it. Maybe it's best to ask Nozomi about it, he seemed to know Sharaku so he must be involved in this kind of stuff.

"Different? Then... how do you fight them?" he wondered about that. It seems to him on how unlikely someone could fight those things without a Persona. That fight last night taught him that.

"I think I may head over to the Tower then. Maybe try to get some questions answered. I dunno. Maybe."

Ah, right. Should have expected a follow up. This guy sure knew how to be curious. Then again, it probably sounded weird to hear that someone does not use a Persona after just learning that they are the means of fighting against the enemy. But it wasn't as if he was fighting barehanded either. Punching a Shadow or such does nothing. ''Using a Persona is the main way, yes, but it is possible to do by different means as well. Although, you are not likely to see that often at all. I simply have a different way of using power.'' It wasn't like he could legit explain. The guy didn't even really know what a Shadow is, so there was no point in saying that.

''Which is better, of course.'' Oh great. He almost forgot about that. For some reason, his Shadow was starting to be somewhat more talkative even on this side of reality since he started working with Angel. Did that have something to do with the change? Back then, there was almost no way he could have gotten the stubborn Shadow to talk aloud when not on the other side. And he wasn't sure whether this development was good or not. Ego comments were not always welcome. Sharaku would just sigh. ''Don't mind that.''

Go to the Tower, eh? ''Maybe? You should be a bit more sure before going somewhere, no? Although, there is little chance you would get harmed in any way by going there. Regardless, you are free to do what you wish, as long as you're careful. I figure that you don't want to die too soon.'' Well, it was certainly possible nowadays, if you got unlucky enough to tamper with something way too strong for your current level.

So he was a little bit different. How? Joshua couldn't really tell. Nothing seemed to emanate from Sharaku. At least until hearing a completely unrelated and unfamiliar voice speak. He jerked his head to his left and right as if trying to see who was talking. But he realized it must be coming from the very man in front of him who just told him not to mind it... which Joshua did almost gladly.

"Wait, what do you mean? Is there like some guardian at the Tower or something?" he asked Sharaku with dread.

He didn't really want to get into another fight if he had to.

"Well, I suppose I might just try to go around and see what information I can find. Still new to this stuff anyway. I think I might go bother Nozomi later."

Subject: Re: We Need To Talk (Sharaku) Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:58 pm

He almost wanted to laugh at the reaction to his Shadow speaking up, but he would opt not to. No need to dissect this subject further right now, as funny as it was.

..guardian? Eh, no. He meant being careful more so in general, rather than in regards to the Tower itself. Although, precaution won't kill you. Considering how they now had people declaring 'war' against even the Angels, thanks to Simon and Rinna...one never knows. Some people could try to storm the Tower or do something stupid. And one does not want to get caught up in that. Not without being prepared somehow. ''No, not really. I was talking in general, mostly. You never know what can happen anywhere these days. Considering how Simon and Rinna are riling people up to fight everyone, it might happen that some riot happens at the Tower eventually. Would not be good to get caught in something like that.'' Or anything else, for the matter. No guarantee that some danger doesn't pop up randomly.

''Well, do so. But as I said, be careful. It's easy to get into danger nowadays, mainly when information gathering and the like. Everyone is on edge with the fact that not a lot of time is left.'', he would state calmly. It wasn't like there was a point in stopping the guy. He had to learn somehow, now that he got dragged into this. But it was still dangerous on the other hand.

"Oh, right. Yeah. I'll keep that in mind."

Joshua had forgotten about that. With this whole thing "apparent" to the populace, no doubt there's going to be unhappy people. Some that may actually lash out to even a newcomer like him.

"Well, I guess that's all. Thanks answering a lot of my questions. Actually, could you exchange numbers with me? In case if I need to get in contact with you."

Subject: Re: We Need To Talk (Sharaku) Thu Aug 27, 2015 9:05 pm

''You're welcome.'' It's not like it hurt him to do so. Nor did he really want to see people dying quickly just because they didn't know what were they doing after they suddenly got involved in this mess. And he knew a lot, so might as well at least warn them about the most obvious things, if nothing else.

''And I suppose I can.'' Almost everyone had his number nowadays. So it was moot to say no. He didn't have a reason to either. It is indeed easier to find someone when you have a way of contacting them. No one wants to run around the islands searching for a person when there isn't the time for that.

Numbers were exchanged and it seems the discussion has more or less ended.

"Thanks, Sharaku. Well. I'll give ya a calll if something comes up or something. I'll see ya later.

[Exit]
