[He shrugs.]

I dunno. I never figured that game out.

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound like a game I'd want to play.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

I don't think we had a choice. I think the meteors were coming whether we played the game or not....

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That is a very good point you make.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.]

Yeah, it makes for a pretty good argument.

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

-ah, the hotel's not much farther. We were lucky and didn't face much atta- oh there's another one.

[Another Shadow, another brief pause for Jikokuten to fight it.]

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Man, you are really good at this.

So what's with these things, anyway? Is there some big boss controlling them? Or are they just wandering around looking for dinner?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I've been here for a while.

We're not sure. We know that there are larger Shadows that can command the smaller ones, and we're fairly sure that what brought us here also controls the larger Shadows.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Wait, hang on. If the thing that brought us here controls the shadows, and we fight the shadows, why did it bring us here in the first place?

And why give us persona to fight the shadow's with?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

To prove ourselves? I suppose it's an option.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Oh, so maybe the shadows are just a test? And if you pass there's some bigger threat to deal with?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That's my current theory. We really have no hard proof of anything.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

I guess the only way to find out if that's true is to beat enough shadows to prove yourself. To... whoever...

Actually, are we sure that the shadows are all part of the same group?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...We're not sure of much of anything, but they don't attack each other.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Hmm.... do the bigger shadows ever talk to you?

[After all, he's had a conversation with the boss monster on LOWAS before they'd fought.]

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

No. But I heard my Persona speak once. That's how I'm certain of the name.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

What did it say?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"I am thou and thou art I. I am Jikokuten-"

And then I interrupted it. I was a bit stressed at the time because my best friend was about to get himself killed being stupid.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

That's..... kind of a weird thing for it to say. What do you think it meant? Have you tried talking to it since then?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I've tried, but it's not really talkative. And, I'm not certain. It could perhaps be a part of me rather than something summoned.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

A part of you? What does that mean?

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That part I'm not sure of. It could be a manifestation of something within me that just somehow looks like - well, that.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

[He tries and fails not to laugh at the mental image that conjures.]

Hehehehe..... Sorry... hahahaha...

Just... you'd look pretty silly, dressed like that.

[Action]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can't deny that. I might try it for fun one day.

Re: [Action]

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

It would make the best Halloween costume!
