this does sound very olde history, but similar things happen today. life sounds wild being in a world with mecha and dukes. either way, i hope justice is served and the people get a leader they deserve.
[ he would step on this duke— ]
by the way, i also gained a memory recently. it isn't as exciting as corrupt public figures, but it's about Morgana.
Wild is right. Honestly I'm envious of the people with memories about going to a school for idols. That sounds more my speed - not that I'm interested in being an idol per say. [Still, better than corrupt dukes and fighting monsters and mechs???] I hope so too. Can't say I'm a fan of Aristocracy if it's got guys like this.
[Phantom Thieves would never run out of work in Erebonia tbh. This stuff is just the tip of a shitty iceberg]
Oh don't be like that! Morgana's exciting! What about him?
i'm glad that you wouldn't dabble into the idol industry. it gets pretty rough in there like any entertainment field.
[ He doesn't want to go into all the abuse, so he'll cut it there. ]
mundane memories are kind of nice.
apparently, we were trying to figure out Morgana's gender since he really likes Ann? he insists on being a boy, but also added "i think" at the end. i pitched that maybe he's a car.
I guess cats do get prickly about stuff, so maybe that's why.
He turns into a car..? Like a cat transformer? Ahaha, that's awesome! [Weird? Yes. But Elliot has already long adapted to the idea of their lives being full of bizarre] Does the car still have cat features??
yeah, cats are fickle sometimes, so it makes sense why he's so particular about it.
he keeps his eyes and the ears are on top of the van. it's pretty cozy inside, too? i remember the engine makes him purr. he drove us around the abandoned underground subway.
Haha, no way! I wouldn't want to step on this guy's act anyway. There's a girl at my cousin Zack's gym who likes him. My other cousins thought going to the gym would be a good way to find out more about her.
Oh I got it! [Yay me!] Then how does a Shadow become a Persona? I thought Personas were a part of you.
[ what the fuck he's watching this thinking this man has an attractive body wow
he probably passed it to Yusuke to watch with him. ]
i hope playing the violin warms him up. anyway, that's sweet, though invasive. perfect.
it depends on the individual, but it seems like accepting yourself as your are and your emotions as your own brings forth one's full potential, a Persona.
[Yeah why do you think Elliot is subscribed to his channel.]
Aha, I'm sure it does. An act like that would warm up lots of things. Thanks. Zack would do the same to any of us.
Huh, I see... So then a Shadow is like untapped potential from someone who hasn't accepted themselves. And that manifests as a monster in an abandoned subway system, usually looking like some famous figure. Is that right?
[ because he's gay... and Akira understands that 100% ]
i guess so? not everyone becomes a Persona user, actually. from what i remember, there were only 9 of us from my world. there's probably more elsewhere, seeing that those are the ones i knew in Tokyo, Japan.
Shadows may just represent a person's raw soul as it is.
Only 9 in all of Tokyo? That's a really small amount of people... Though Yusuke getting his Persona seemed like he was going through something pretty big, so maybe that has something to do with the low number...
Still, it's a little worrying to think that there could be some part of you running around as a Shadow. I hope they don't show up in this town.
i have a hunch that we're chosen by a higher power, but not a lot to back that up.
[ No, he's pretty sure. ]
there's always a dark side to every person and for the worst of people, an even darker side, but they're still a part of us. you're not wrong. it is still worrying.
from what I've gathered Shadows get violent if you reject them.
Though in case Shadows do show up You should probably make sure Souji remembers they're parts of people.
He found out about a tomato monster from my memories and he wanted to eat it. I don't wanna know what'd happen if he mistook a Shadow for a monster to eat.
My true self... [...] In that case, it'd probably be Chicken Little.
[Small bird that screams its head off all the time about how they're gonna die? Yeah that sounds like his inner self]
Really? That's weird... Maybe it's the Shadows of animals? Or - oh! What if they're discarded or forgotten parts of someone's personality? Like that imaginary friend from the Pixar movie.
Oh, I know. I'm more worried about the Shadows... [What if he ate Chicken Little Elliot? that'd be terrible] He's making me call him Kawaii Raccoon-san.

[He has Opinions on the idol industry, but he'll spare Akira.]
Haha, wouldn't him being a cat matter more than his gender with liking Ann...?
Why would you say he's a car?
no subject
not sure, but he was very adamant on being a boy. not that i thought it mattered much.
oh. he can turn into a car? it's weird and hard to explain.

no subject
Wait, does that mean you were exploring abandoned subways in your old life too?
no subject
yeah, we were. there were Shadows in there, so it was like training? but there were several levels, i think.
no subject
Are Shadows those monsters we fought in the fog? Sounds creepy...
no subject
yeah. they come in different shapes and forms... it's interesting how they're usually stuff from history and legends.
no subject
[To help...spy...on someone...]
You mean like Persona do?
no subject
nailed it. Shadows and Personas are essentially the same, actually.

1/2
You're really powerful, and it'd explain some things.
[Like the voice Souji told him about, and the Velvet Room]
Yikes. I mean, that makes sense. But still, yikes.
I'm both curious about what my Shadow would be, but also hoping I never find out.
no subject

no subject
beating up Shadows doesn't seem to affect people in the real world, so i'm thinking not every Shadow is directly tied to someone. it's a real mystery?
he would eat it. no doubts.

Ugh...that's what I'm afraid of.
no subject
it's a ~mystery~ for now. if i learn more, then i'll tell you since it is interesting.
he did somehow make it to graduate, right? he'll be fine for the most part.
no subject
Oh, I know. I'm more worried about the Shadows... [What if he ate Chicken Little Elliot? that'd be terrible]
He's making me call him Kawaii Raccoon-san.
