The Phantom [Event :: Night :: Speed Topic]

....... I missed, and the battle was over before I could blink. I honestly don't know what I was thinking or expecting. That comment by that guy, it just hurts all the more. Damnit, I have to hone this power. Hmm, I definently want to know more, and the world the queen is hiding from us? Suddenly things just got a lot darker now. And demons like these are the least of our worries? Great, just great, we have so far to go. Aaaand he just vanishes, wonderful. But now we got to decide on what to do with this reporter. It seems that she can definently keep secrets, but she had better not divulge our names when giving news about this. In fact giving news about this itself would be dangerous based on this guy's statement. Damnit, I hate being forced to into a path without knowing what lies ahead. "Umm, yes we are..... who are you exactly?" Seriously, who is this robotic canine that just also gained a persona?

Oh god, is Jack all hyped because of this situation? HOLY SHIT! Did his persona just try to cleave his head off!? And he just shrugs it off!? "Umm, based on what we are now, I don't think it would be a good thing if she saw us." I phase out unconsciously out of my disguised form. "Whoa, guess that is over with. Anyway, we need to figure out what to do with this reporter. Any suggestions other than telling her everything?"

Platinum playhouse? What are you talking about?" None of it was making any sense, but the phantom said he would be here tomorrow night to show them the real Endymion if they showed up. Afterwards, the phantom terrorist went and disappeared. "He's gone..." Gabe's powers also disappeared, but he still felt as if he had a little bit lingering in his soul.  Looking to the robot dog, Gabe would then nod. "thank you for the assistance, your scan somehow.... sent information to my brain... and we knew what could hurt the speed deacon. I appreciate your resistance...... "  Gabe really was grateful to the dog.

However, he then and saw Jack get attacked by his own persona. "Jack!" Gabe would say as he took a step forward, preparing to do something as a red card appeared in his hand.. However, it seemed as if Jack was safe, with the threat averted, the card dissipated.  "There is alot we don't know. Maybe thats how hes getting us to come tomorrow, there is a stipulation for our personas. Lack of control might get them to attack us... it it could be something more that he he did..... " Gabe took out his glasses and pushed them up on his face.

"We should should exchange contact information in case anything weird happens before tomorrow night, whoever is planning to show up tomorrow. Also,  try to see if you can still use any of your powers?  Or anything left over? You know yourself, you can probably feel something. " Gabe had that red card, and he felt it was fire related. " Besides meeting tomorrow night, we need to do something about the reporter. I dont mind carrying her back to the station. Its...underhanded..but maybe we can guilt trip the fact that she fainted in the middle of the interview and the compensation of us showing up  should be wired to our accounts anyway. We unintentionally risked our lives, but this job today was promised money. Might as well hold off the information about meeting the phantom tomorrow as well, she cant see the demons, thats a liability and we can hardly protect ourselves.

Gabe then pushed his glasses up again. "As i was trying to say, just a suggestion.   Any objections?

As the group conversed, Jack was already making his leave. He picked up the camera on his way out of the alleyway and would turn back to others. "Hey, you guys should toss her in the back of her van or whatever. It's kinda shady with a group of guys and some... toy.. huddling around a sleeping woman out here, don'tcha think?" The dark haired male snickered to himself before walking back the way they came. His was actually doing a nice act for once and picking up the contents that were dropped from the woman's bag when they made their mad dash after the freaky Phantom. He'd toss the bag into the back of the van and throw his arms behind his head.

"When it comes to exchanging information, I'll pass. We may all have this power, but I don't want you guys getting close to me in my personal life! After all, we wear the masks for a reason. It'd be way too suspicious hanging out when we have no backgrounds with one another. Heh, so smell ya later and seeya at the playhouse!" Jack stuck his tongue out at the group and made his exit from the area. Man, would he even be able to sleep tonight? What if his Persona went mad and tried to lob his head off..? That'd be so wicked! He was more excited than he should have been, and that was for sure!

"Thank you for the assistance, your scan somehow.... sent information to my brain... and we knew what could hurt the speed deacon. I appreciate your assistance...... "

The glass-wearing man left a gap in his speech, which was follwed by the blonde man behind him asking for his identity.  Selenus took the chance to introduce himself. "Selenus. And you're more than welcome; cooperation is a key part in success in any battle. Though to be honest, I had absolutely no idea I could do that." He scratched the ground with his tail sheepishly.

Before he could ask for the glass-wearing man's name, the stitched boy's Persona appeared behind it and... tried to chop his head off? Selenus was about ready to assault the Persona, but refrained when he saw it dissipate and the stitched boy started laughing. Did he find nearly dying amusing? That would explain the stitches.

"There is alot we don't know. Maybe thats how he's getting us to come tomorrow, there is a stipulation for our personas. Lack of control might get them to attack us... it it could be something more that he he did..... "

"I highly doubt it." Selenus spoke up. "His Persona trying to kill him seems more of a personal issue to me. My Persona was kind with me, giving me words of encouragement that uh... prevented me from doing something I would've regretted. Maybe his Persona just hates his guts."

Selenus's attitude towards the stitched boy changed completely once he heard what he called him next.

"TOY?!" Selenus bellowed. "I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I AM A MILITARY-GRADE WEAPON. IF I WANTED YOU DEAD YOUR PERSONA WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO WASTE ITS TIME WITH!"

Seemingly ingoring Selenus completely, the stitched man left the scene without another word, presumably way too infatuated with cockiness from the gain of a Persona to give a damn about anything.

"Tch. I for one agree that we should stay connected. If your phones have a radio feature or app, you can reach my codec at this frequency." Selenus grabbed the reporter's notepad and pen and scribbled down his radio frequency. He should probably look into getting a phone installed as well... radio was hardly used outside of thge military. "I'm going to need your names and phone numbers as well."

"I don't know, maybe that is the case." A persona going berserk and attacking it's owner, I just can't understand that. I don't even really understand what a persona is, nor how it will affect us. "Yeah, that would be a good idea, we don't know what could happen and planning beforehand would be quite advantageous. Yes, I can still use them, I can feel the power within me. Yeah, we should definently drop her off. Hmm, yeah I guess it was promised money, but I can think of another reason you would want that." I smile slyly at him. Yeah, we probably should, there is the risk factor for her, but it also seemed that 'The Phantom' didn't want her involved in this. No, no objections to it. Umm, no Jack, tonight we were just attacked by demons and leaving her alone and unconscious, in a vehicle or not, could possibly be lifethreatening to her. Shady huh, speaking of shady, are you happy with what you got?" I say spitefully. He wanted this and just shrugs off any danger associated with it. This kind of attitude towards something so important and dangerous really pisses me off.

"What? We all have a stake in this Jack, and organizing is probably the only way we are going to be able to get through this. Yeah, we do wear them for a reason, but only talking to each other in the night when we can do this stuff is stupid when we have so much more time to learn about each other and plan." He is just walking off, that cheeky bugger. I honestly think that he views this situation as a one time ride of a lifetime. "Thank you for the assistance Selenus. Hmm, maybe your right, he does seem... quite unhinged. I don't think that his persona hates him, because I think I'm getting the vibe of them being crazy. WELL THEN." Note to self, do not piss off Selenus. "Yeah, okay." I scribble down the frequency on a notepad in my pocket, along with aluding to the other events. If this gets taken from me and they figure too much out, I am screwed. "Oh, yes, my name is Tatsui Kitao, and this is my phone number." I scribble down my phone number on my notepad, tear the piece off, and hand it to Selenus. "Now that that is settled, I think we should get this reporter back inside, okay?"

Jack wait!" Gabe tried to stop jack for the man to listen to reason, but he was already gone. "Sigh..." Gabe took off his glasses and rubbed his temples. "Jack is a smart man, believe it or not, i'm sure he can take care of himself. " All he could really do is have faith in Jack, regardless of what the guy thought of everyone else. "Gabe picked up the reporter and put her over his shoulder. "I'll place her in the van so she can at least get out of the rain.

Gabe would then exchange contacts with the other two. "I have to cut this short, but we are outside in the rain. And right now, we are wanted criminals by nature. I think we should get a move on, contact me if anything. See you tonight, and most of all, don't use your real names at night, call me Shotaro if anything. "Gabe would then place the reporter in the news truck and depart.
