.001 ♛ [Video]

[The screen would flicker on with the sound of a few things hitting the wall. It would seem that something had knocked the device to the floor with some force and accidentally powered it on. Though whoever might be listening is getting a view of the ceiling, a particularly irritated voice can be heard ranting about her current circumstances.]

...unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable. When I find out who is responsible for this, I'll tear their heart out and feed it to them.

[Another broken cup, perhaps? Either way, it's in pieces, now. Seems like it's taken some of the wind out of her sails, though.]

No furniture. No Ronove. No magic. What kind of hellhole is this? M...maybe this is hell. ...No...but this definitely isn't Rokkenjima.

[And then the device on the floor caught her eye. To the viewer, the angry voice would give way to a stately looking blonde with an inquisitive stare.]

A tape-recorder...?

Monsters? Glorious. And I'm to fight them by hand, then?
Yes, dear. That's quite important. Thank you.
Was everyone here taken from somewhere else...or do you know?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

You can summon something out of your mind called a Persona. Those help.

The people in the day who are normal citizens of this city turn into coffins at night.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

I...think I need to lie down.
I suppose this Persona is a type of magic here?
But, coffins? I'm afraid you've gone over my head with that.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's like magic!

If you see coffins during the night, those are actually people.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Hm. So Persona is furniture here.
I doubt they will be as fine as the ones I have back on the island, but I'll manage somehow.
You've been quite helpful, Miss V/V. Do you by any chance believe in witches~?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I believe in a lot of things! Why?

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Because where I come from, I'm a very powerful witch.
And I have a special liking for people who believe in me.
It would put us on rather friendly terms, I believe.~

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Okay. Then, I believe in witches. If you say you're one, you must be one.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

If only everyone was as agreeable as you are, my dear.
It would save me so much time and effort.

Now, I wonder. How does someone obtain one of these Persona creatures?
Are they hard to locate?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Not hard at all. The first time you summon them, they usually come when you're in danger.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, then. I know well enough how to summon furniture.
How do I find these monsters of which you speak?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

They're almost everywhere after midnight. They won't be hard to find.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Very well. I think once I get a better feel for this place, I'll seek them out.

Have you had to fight, yet?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

A few times. It wasn't much fun for me.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

I can see that. You seem like too much of a peaceful person to punish an opponent properly.

Not that I hold that against you, though.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I don't like killing. I'll kill Shadows if I have to, but I'd never kill a thinking human being.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

That's where you and I differ, then.

I don't particularly like breaking what I can't put back together, but I wouldn't shrink from it.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I have a bad history with it.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

No one really asks to know death on a personal level. Sometimes we just run afoul of it whether we like it or not. Is that the case with you?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's hard to explain exactly.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

That's fair. I don't dislike you enough to pry if it's painful.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's not painful, I just don't know how to explain it correctly.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

I see.
I never really had a problem with death where I come from.
If I didn't like how someone died, I'd just bring them back and be sure to do it better the next time.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's hard for someone with no original concept of death to explain how they feel about people who die and stay dead.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

You must either be an immortal or a very, very sheltered girl.

But, I can understand that.
When death lacks any permanence, it's had to feel anything but apathetic toward it.
