Leaving of their own will. Pieces of my fingers, a ear...[other things that still haven't happened in the log yet] we were able to get them again however, it was rather bizarre. There was no pain involved. All three of us were affected.
[It's not completely his fault. It's what he's been drilled into his mind for so long that it becomes second nature when speaking. When one mostly stays in a circle of very rich people, boasting about one's ownership is what they use to start conversations.
Only his friends managed to bring him down to a more...normal people level. Mostly.]
Other aspects of myself technically, but yes. I summon gods and demons that grant me abilities to cast magic.
...sounds markedly Persona-y. But it isn't necessarily that - Guren has a demon inside his sword, apparently, and Kaoru has natural psychic powers. Lots of people here have lots of abilities, it doesn't necessarily mean anything.
[Just think back to his first post Akira when Kei waxed on about philosophy.
Maybe if he hadn't spoken with Yusuke, Nanjo wouldn't know about some users that couldn't reveal themselves. Was Akira part of his group or a different one else entirely? He'll stick to his first plan; simply speak about his and not acknowledge the other's own. If he wants to speak after this, he can. If not, then Kei will pretend he doesn't know anything until he's asked.]
Akira knew about Minato already, but to learn Nanjo is also a Persona user is quite a surprise. He hadn't noticed anything from him, but then, he hadn't noticed anything from Akechi, either. It could be that there are many Persona users here, and he simply doesn't know yet. Maybe they have reasons for concealing their powers, just as he does.
But Nanjo just revealed his own. Akira doesn't think he's done anything in particular to gain his trust, though, besides checking up on him now, after the forest expedition. Interesting.]
[In retrospect maybe it had been better to keep up with the charade. On the other hand, Kei recently tended to react by his gut feelings - something his parents and bodyguard kept holding against him. As far as Nanjo went, he'd rather face problems head on...if there was something he'd learned from his friends and from Him, it was that.
Still, at the other's comment, he pauses on how he should reply, quickly deleting 'I am aware' to replace it with something else.]
I see. Perhaps we could speak of it in person, if you'd like to discuss.
[He contemplates this for a moment. He doesn't know Nanjo that well, but he's never seemed threatening, and if he has a Persona, then they are connected in that way.
[That is a good point that Kei would apologize if he realized it and I was less dumb about it, woops.]
Very well. I'll wait for you.
[Kei's house wasn't that exiting, truth be told. It was less bad in terms of dust than before but since he was alone, he had moved his bike into one of the spare rooms instead of leaving it outside. He sat tethering on the chairs that weren't quite square with the ground, only getting up when he felt the other's presence.
Maybe it might go as well as it had with Yusuke? Who knew...]
[Akira gives a knock before coming in, mumbling a polite,] Pardon the intrusion. [He seems a little guarded, but if Nanjo really does have a Persona as well, then he can probably be trusted.
[Welcome to the world of the ugly blue wallpapers. Kei can't blame him for being guarded...it's a lot of information to learn.
The splash of color on the table is only thanks to whatever fruits and flowers he's found in the forest and given from others, but nothing cooked. Still if Akira wan't something, he can help himself, as Kei offers him a chair.]

We have, thank you Mister Kurusu.
The experience was...interesting. Were you also victim to pieces of your own body suddenly deciding to depart from your body?
no subject
No, nothing like that happened.
Depart like disappearing?

no subject
[Understatement.]
Maybe we should be keeping all these effects somewhere, so others know what to expect if they go in the forest.
no subject
Did you experience anything of the sort?
[It's his turn to worry.]
no subject
[Everyone's badgered him so much he might as well be honest about that part.]
no subject
[He can't help but think back to his own experience with them.]
What happened afterwards?
no subject
[That's it...! Really...!]
no subject
A sort of teleportation then? Maybe they briefly teleported you to another world...
[What else could it be really? But he mentioned eating...]
no subject
no subject
I hope you didn't feel any pain when they ate you.
no subject
Are you a doctor?
no subject
It's a healing ability derived from spells.
[He'll just keep going like this until others are ready to talk to him.]
no subject
But he's interested in the next part.]
You know magic?

Is that so?

Yes. We call them Persona.

You don't say.
I'm familiar with the concept.

I see. Perhaps we could speak of it in person, if you'd like to discuss.
no subject
Then, it can't hurt, right?]
Where do you want to meet?
no subject
Otherwise we could head into the forest, but I feel that might sound too ominous for a meeting request.
no subject
Your house is fine.
I'll be there soon.
no subject
