Track 06 - Gonna Fly Now

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: The Park - Open

[It's a nice day in the park - the sun shining down, a breeze blowing through - it's the perfect day for Yosuke to work the stress out with a good friend. The entire park is his training area - trees to climb, benches to jump over and off of, and a thousand and one ways to test his speed and agility. Though there's no enemy to fight and no goal to reach, it feels good just doing something.

Sometimes they're working together, sometimes apart, but the two best certainly seem in synch as they get their exercise on all over the park. Aww yeah.]

(( OOC: For this, please specify if you'd like to tag Yosuke, Souji, or both together, as they're there working out in tandem ))

[princeofjunes]

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

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

[ 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?

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

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.]

[princeofjunes]

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

[MAKE SENSE, LANCER. PLEASE.]

Yeah, you guys lost me.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

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

Lancer is Cu Chulainn.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

[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?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

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! ]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

...

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

[princeofjunes]

[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.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

So that's how you healed your bruises away.

I didn't know you knew Gilgamesh either.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

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

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

[princeofjunes]

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?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

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

... So is the Persona.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

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.

[princeofjunes]

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

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

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

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

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

[princeofjunes]

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

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

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.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

...'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...]

[princeofjunes]

I don't know, maybe you went crazy in some past life and started burning down villages, chasing down the peasant girls and forcing them to serve you?

[Yosuke is helping!]

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

No no.

[ He considers what he's going to say next. ]

Remember how I can summon Persona like Helel, Lucifer or even Satan? I get this ominous feeling. Even with "Holy" Persona like Melchizedek.

[ The more Souji thinks about it broadly the more he realizes the nature of his powers. ]

Anyway.

[ Souji looks at Lancer's spear then to Yosuke. ]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

[Yosuke, you get this look.] ...I really hope that was a joke, because otherwise I might have to punch you.

[princeofjunes]

Of course it was a joke! I don't really think you go around burning down villages, come on.

[He looks over at Souji thoughtfully. considering]

Well I wasn't going to say anything about you pulling Satan out of your head - I mean, I don't think any of us thought it was really Satan - but... you really think our powers are demons?
