[Allen looks quite thoughtful.]

Would you stay here, knowing it means being 'normal'? I'm not talking about our Personas, but...our powers we have back home.

[His Innocence and his curse. He lived this long without them. It's still strange to him; it feels...both lighter in burden and yet?]

I admit, I miss having my Innocence and [it's not something he admits openly, but he feels like saying it] the curse on my eye. My arm still looks different, but it's not the same without using my Innocence.

It's like I'm missing a part of myself.

[Kanda almost answers-- then thinks better of it and shuts off the feed without saying a word. He's been letting Allen affect him too much lately-- better to start cutting that tie as soon as possible.]

[... Sigh. Here's a face you haven't seen in awhile.]

Innocence does not define who you are, Allen.

Neah!?

What is it? You seemed surprised.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

Of course I'm surprised. I haven't seen you in a while.

Actually, not everyone who has been brought here had powers in their home world. Being in Prospero has been quite eye-opening moment for me.

Can I ask what is this 'Innocence' you were talking about earlier?

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

I'm know. [He's pretty sure there's other normal people here.]

Innocence is...a special substance, commonly in a cube or crystal form, that can transform into an exorcist's weapon.

Even if I didn't have powers before arriving here, I can see it can be frustrating not having your usual powers around. In a way, it sort of takes away a bit of your identity and it can be frustrating...but even though they are gone now, you're still you no matter what.

A substance that can be transformed into various items based on its user. Very interesting. And exorcists? So you exterminate demons?

As far as I'm concerned, this is anything but normal.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

I know. But other than the Personas and midnight, we're just people here, aren't we?

Again, being an average human means something different where I come from.

Innocence...?

[Audio]

[crownedexorcist]

A weapon used by exorcists.

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

What does it do?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

I think that I would.

Don't get me wrong, my weapons and abilities are an important part of myself, and it feels like it has been a significant loss. But I think ultimately, I would be willing to fight as a normal human for a while.

...do you mind if I ask what kind of curse?

[video]

[crownedexorcist]

...

[Being in Prospero reminded him of what happened in China, when his Innocence got crushed.

And he kind of died and came back, before getting his resolve tested.]

My curse? It allows me to see the trapped souls within the akumas.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

['Akuma' wasn't a word Lancer was familiar with, but he had a feeling he shouldn't question too much.]

I see. It doesn't quite sound like mine, but I suppose there's all kinds. Was seeing this something useful to you at all?

[Gilbert is quiet for a moment when the video first comes on.]

... I can relate.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

[It's more than he usually say, considering how private Allen is.]

You're missing something?

[Video]

[gillyboy.livejournal.com]

[Gilbert nods.]

In my world, we can contract monsters. They're... kind of like the Persona here, I suppose. But I've had mine for so long, I've grown more than use to its abilities and feelings. Not having it... it's unusual, to say the least.

So when you say you're "missing your innocence"...

Video

[crownedexorcist]

I'm missing my weapon.

Oh.
