Everyday&#39;s Great

[After a set of cardio exercises he decides to take a breather - and what do you know, there's some familiar blue hair over yonder. So, he takes a walk over, grinning]

I doubt it's as good a show as the one I got.

From:

[ Souji is drinking from a bottle of water and he looks up into the branches. ]

Ah. Lancer.

From:

Yo.

[He dropped out of the tree, smirking and crossing his arms--ignoring the fact that his right hand was bandaged with two fingers in a splint.]

...You two know each other? [Crazy when that happens, isn't it.]

From:

Yeah. He's my best friend from back home - there's worse guys you could get stranded in a weird place with. Right, Partner?

From:

[ Yep Lancer, Souji and Yosuke know each other! It's a small ~~world~~ town, after all. But it didn't hurt that these two were BFFs before coming here. ]

Yeah.

[ He was going to say something about Lancer's fingers in the splint but decides against it, hardly paying it any mind. ]

How do you know Yosuke?

From:

Huh. Guess it's a pretty small universe. Or parallel universes, hell if I know what to call it.

We ran into each other a while ago. Discussed different weapons and things like that, if I'm remembering right.

[Beat.]

Though I don't think Yosuke knows I'm supposed to be the moron in the white armor yet.

[Nope, still annoyed by that.]

From:

Wait, I don't know what? White armor?

[MAKE SENSE, LANCER. PLEASE.]

Yeah, you guys lost me.

From:

My Persona, Cu Chulainn? The one with the white armor and cape?

Lancer is Cu Chulainn.

From:

[HE ALWAYS MAKES SENSE EXCEPT WHEN HE DOESN'T. WHICH IS A LOT.]

Yep. Genuine article, and a lot less stupid-looking.

<font size"1">[He looks back and forth between the two of them a few times, then sighs]</font>

Right, uh-huh. Good joke guys. How long did it take you to plan this one?

From:

We're serious. He is Cu Chulainn.

[ Souji looks like he's having some difficulty explaining exactly how Lancer is the Irish hero of legend! ]

From:

...

[Well, you know how Lancer convinces people? By holding out his hand and summoning a cursed red spear from thin air. Enjoy that, Yosuke.]

From:

[It'd be a lot more shocking if he hadn't already seen Gilgamesh do something very similar. All he understands now - more so than before - is that Lancer isn't some ordinary guy]

Oh, hey! Can your weapon do anything weird like Gilgamesh's? He did this weird thing where he healed me with a bow.

From:

So that's how you healed your bruises away.

I didn't know you knew Gilgamesh either.

From:

I wouldn't call mine 'weird', exactly.

...You met Gilgamesh and I'm the one you decide not to believe? Geez, kid.

From:

Hey, when a guy pulls a bow out of thin air along with like, fifty other weapons? It helps. Besides, he didn't claim to be a guy who kind of sort of lives in my partner's head.

So you guys are serious? For real?

From:

Yeah. He's the real deal. The Cu Chulainn.

... So is the Persona.

From:

Yeah, well I am. And I'm not going to get into the argument about which of us is the real one--because I'm pretty damn sure that's me.

From:

Maybe you secretly have a twin brother that looks completely different and lives in Souji's head?

From:

Lancer would come from a large family then, because it lives in Elizabeth's, Minato's, Minako's and Margaret's head as well.

From:

Besides, I don't have a brother. And this guy looks nothing like me.

From:

Maybe the one in your head's a fake, Partner! I mean, did you ever ask to see his ID?

From:

Nnn. [ Souji smiles with Yosuke's colorful commentary. ]

I'm sure that Lancer you're the genuine hero... I think Personas are the representations, here.

...

Actually, these Persona feel a little demonic.

From:

...'Demonic'? I'm a demigod, how the hell could any incarnation of me be demonic?

[he's not THAT much of a jerk is he...]
