Second Night - Lone Trials

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[Action]

[In the evening, characters may notice a certain teenager practicing in the park. Sometimes he is simply going through movements at a slow, measured pace. Other times he is punching and kicking at some invisible enemy.

It's obvious he's well-practiced in martial arts. Even when he practiced in the park with his friends in Tokyo, he had been one of the better fighters in terms of both strength and technique. However, that was with not only the power of the Dragon Stream, but the strange powers he had been born with. Though he had been able to handle the Shadows during the Dark Hour with the help of his Persona and the others, he wasn't keen on repeating the experience before he had become fully accustomed to his significantly weaker body.

Feel free to bother him at any point!]

[Atsuro is watching him quietly, not wanting to disturb him. He got out of work, so the teenager was just walking when he saw Tatsuma.]

[Tatsuma notices, but keeps going through the movements for a moment longer before he finally stops and turns to Atsuro.]

Hey.

[babel_hacker]

[He smile and walks over.]

Hey, Tatsuma. Training hard?

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[babel_hacker]

It's good to train, since it'll help out a lot.

[To fight during the Dark Hour.]

[He nods.]

Have you been training in anything?

[babel_hacker]

Akihiko's training me in boxing. I'm also training at night with...my friend.

[AKA practicing how to use his Persona better.]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Has he gotten any better?

[babel_hacker]

Yeah, he has. It's getting easier the more we train.

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Has he spoken with you since then?

[babel_hacker]

[He shake his head.] No, not really.

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

...I see.

[Not like his has, but it was still worth asking.]

[babel_hacker]

I take it yours haven't?

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[He merely shakes his head. Not a peep since that one night.]

[babel_hacker]

Maybe they only talk in certain situations...

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

That might be it.
