So You Know... (Nozomi/Break)

It was still pretty recent since that fight a few nights ago. It still continued to feel pretty surreal nevertheless. Even Sharaku's explanation of how the world worked was pretty outlandish in the normal sense. But, nothing is ever normal in this city has it? Joshua certainly didn't enjoy being pulled into the supernatural shenanigans.

"Yo. 'Bout time you got here."

And so came Nozomi. That one dude who broke his window. That asshole.

So Nozomi had walked around the city it appeared. What the hell. Today was a prtty strang eday for him with all the stuff that had been happening,but nevertheless. Nozomi had been walking through San Malarus when he had suddenly saw Joshua. Joshua had been expected him around for some reason.Oh hey Joshua what's up?

So he was finally here. Great. Now after dealing with Sharaku and Rinna, he wanted to have this guy's perspective of things. He walked over towards him and looked at him from top to bottom for a moment.

"So. I summoned a Persona. I guess you have one too? I'm still new to all of this, so you cool if you give me your perspective on this whole thing?"

What the hell?So Joshua turned out to have a persona. Fantastic then. Everyone was getting one out of their ass these days.So you got a persona and I take it your freaking out about it?Well I view it like this. You see that persona thing you got manifests from ourselves. THat thing is like...The true you you know? It's what you use to fight these things called shadows. Which. I take it your pretty familiar with. This Philemon guy supposed creates said personas. He has this weird blue room where apparently. These attendant people are mean't to help us persona users out.You should check it out sometime. It can be found...in the weirdest places.He would remark To Joshua. Frankly he figured the guy should understand the rundown of the shit he was getting into at its core. Otherwise he would be confused as hell on it all. Nozomi was concerned for Joshua now. Having a persona wasn't exactly some easy shit to deal with.

Joshua blinked for a while as Nozomi more or less slammed all this information at his fact. While, he appreciated it, it was a bit too much to digest at first. So he was silent even after his acquaintance finished talking. So Personas were truly the manifestations of the True Self. Well, certainly Bedivere does feel somehow familiar. The Velvet Room is a place he could try checking out later on...

"So what do you know about the Angels and the Primordials?"

I'm surprised your already aware of those guys. Who even told you about them? See the angels apparently got these things called wishes. You align with one and it will give you some of its power. Claiming you require that to defeat the primordials. However aligning with one will lock you into followings it's wish it has for humanity. The primordials are the guys who are trying to screw us all over. Some weirdos named Thesis and Ananke. Apparently their strong and are at war with the angels at the moment.Well frankly he didn't want to leave the guy clueless about his. If he was aware of them that means someone either told him or he had some weird unexplainable run in with something correlated to these guys.

"Alrighty, information checks out," Joshua would remark with somewhat of a relieved smile.

So far the information has been consistent with what he heard from Sharaku. Though now he has heard of the names of the Primordials. In this case, this meeting seemed to be more fruitful than thought.

"Yeah, I had Sharaku tell me some of this stuff. I wanted some confirmation and you gave it to me. That's all I really wanted," he shrugged, "Though what do you know about Rinna and Simon? Those two guys who wants to get rid of the Angels and the Primordials?"

Well alright. Fantastic to see you atleast are starting to get your bearings rather quickly with this shit. That's something your gonna need on the frank.Well atleast the boy knew somewhat of what he was getting into with all this. Better than not knowing anything at all you know?

Sharaku told you some stuff?I'm rather familiar with him. Seems to know alot of what the hells going on. So I'd guess he's been doing this kinda schtick for a while. I don't know much about Rinna,but supposedly that Simon is a guy who wants to eliminate both the angels and the primordials and then call it a day.That was all the boy knew on the two of them.Nothing much more.

So he didn't know all that much about Simon or Rinna either, this was getting a bit worrying. With this measly power that Joshua had, he wanted to see which side he should serve. Of course, the one that would make all of this supernatural stuff go away. But there is still nothing much telling him about any of this. Though it might help to help fill in Nozomi with some information of his own.

"Yeah, this Rinna girl apparently works with Simon and they apparently ticked off the Angels enough for them to send goons to take her out-- Rinna, yeah. And I guess the Angels thought I was with her when I never met her in the first place. That's all I really know about those two-- Oh and I guess this Simon guy can turn invisible as Sharaku told me."

Huh so they sent goons to take her out apparently.... So supposedly the angels are pissed at all of them huh?Nozomi would make a little mental note of this shit. That may mean Israfel is annoying at Simon and Rinna.He already considerd Simon a potential threat of course. Then again ehhhhH.

Well frankly. So Simon can turn invisible?Thats certainly a useful ability. Well now then. Now that your caught up to all this shit?How exactly did you even get your persona in the first place.Well now that was a question to ask the boy himself frankly. He didn't know HOW he got it. Personally I awakened to my persona off of these shadows popping up. Then all of a sudden some people helped me and I got my persona. I was like woah shit whats going on and then killed them with help.It was pretty intense man.Nozomi would smirk a bit thinking about it. It was pretty fun and dangerous at the same time when he got stuck awakening to his persona.

"Useful? Well, he can spy on any of us if he wanted to. So that's going to be a pain in the ass if you get his attention," Joshua sighed and then continued, "Well time kinda froze. Then this white thing I mentioned earlier attacked me for some reason. Probably thought I was with Rinna, but she came in a bit later with a whole horde following her. So... yeah. Got rid of them, said hi, asked questions, and that was really it."

So there were other people that could use Personas. Joshua more or less knew this with what he knew from Sharaku and Rinna. Though how many are out there...?

"Ya mind telling me their names? I figured I could probably go visit them and stuff."

Eh I guess. YOu could consider it temporary you know?Supposedly I neeed a little shit to deal with these Primordial guys you could say. So I aligned with this israfel guy. Gave me a little something to help me get rid of them.To be honest. That was how Nozomi really felt about it right now. He didn't exactly agree with his wish anymore,but he needed the power to fuck up the Primordials necessarily. Afterwards he was still thinking of what the hell he would even do though.Regardless just Relax and keep calm about this in whatever way you can. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to take care of yourself given I'm trusting you've met others as well who know about this Crap.You ever need anything else.Feel free to ask.He would remark to the boy. Nozomi was extending some assistance to him to say the least.

And that pretty much settles it. Nozomi was aligned with an Angel, but Joshua still didn't feel anything different about him at all or anything. So that seems to verify something about needing to align with an Angel to feel anything or maybe you don't.

"So what exactly do you get from aligning with an Angel?"

He had to know, at least know what perks there are and what the cons were as well. Though that seemed to be more or less everything he needed to know, for now. Well, except...

"What's Isfrael like?" he asked with curiosity.

It's not everyday that one goes out to meet Angels, but Joshua might meet one pretty soon at this rate. And he had to prepared for this contact.

"Oh by the way? Y'know, we still gotta pay for the window, right?"
