codecast;(01) | ACTION

[There is no network call or the usual screaming demands of where, why, and how. The newest arrival to Prospero does nothing to make her presence known. Though, anyone walking along the shoreline of the island this afternoon would probably notice the new face.

BECAUSE THERE IS AN UNCONSCIOUS GIRL FLOATING FACE UP IN THE MOTHERFUCKING OCEAN.

Thankfully close to the beach's shores, at least. Still... Help would be nice right about now.]

☙VIDEO;

[ During the Dark Hour is an accidental video of a familiar maiden's sobs. She's near a source of water as the sound of waves drown out most of her crying, barely audible over the mass of the ocean around her. Perhaps she's returned to the place she resurrected at. With a hand over her face, her body trembles heavily as her hair falls free of it's usual binds. After a few seconds, the video cuts out expectantly and without any warning.

She isn't too terribly hard to find.. if you can make it to her and all. ]

[Video]
[The feed flickers to an knocked out Saori lying down on a street, who looks rather beaten up with a bruise here and there. Strangely enough, the voice that comes on that sounds like her.]

Oh my. I was never really much of a fighter until I came here. Not to mention I've been so hesitant about fighting again.  It's pathetic really. Looks like curiosity about these 'duplicate shadows' got the best of me. Oh don't worry, I wouldn't kill myself just yet. At least not until you admits I'm around.

[At the moment, the normal Saori cough and stirs awake. The phone's put down somewhere so now the Shadow that was holding it is right  in standing front of her.]

W-what are you talking about?

You know very well what I mean. You are me after all.  You're hesitant about things and always give up any chance of happiness for yourself. But for what? So you could be that saintly motherly person people could rely on? Fulfill obligations to your family?  Like back in college when you studied abroad and your boyfriend proposed to you. You turned it down and you saw just how crushed he was.

I wasn't ready for such a heavy commitment and--

And you'll never be ready if you keep shooting down the opportunities that come to you! Hell, you won't even try to confessing your feeling to that guy!

S-shut up. You know nothing about me.

[At this point, Shadow Saori yanks her up and slams her into a wall before she could even summon her Persona for an attack. Just then, the feed cuts off.]


[Action, immediately after the video.]
Stop kidding yourself, Saori Nakagawa. It's time you admit to yourself that you can't always be the one everyone can rely on. You can't even save yourself, for crike's sake.

[The Shadow drops Saori, leaving her to slump against the wall and walks away. As she speaks, she doesn't look back.]

You still have time to accept you for who you are. I suggest you don't waste any more of it.
