Looks like Sergeant Gramps is gettin' a little finicky that some stuff hasn't gone down. I got an idea on how to introduce the king to the guillotine. Anyone wanna start a riot with me to kick it off?

Basically, I got this list of VIPs who frequent the bar I work at, right? Turns out, a few of these boneheads are some serious players. All we gotta do is get into a fight of king supporters vs revolutionaries and inspire 'em to start writing some charges up. Who's in?

[ Da fuck ]

So you're a mage...

I knew I felt something when we kissed.

[ryuji]

When we what?

[chariotry]

What do you mean what

[ryuji]

What do you mean "what do you mean what"?

[chariotry]

.....

[chariotry]

Are you saying... you don't remember... my kiss?

[ryuji]

Huh?

Dude, stop being weird.

[Must've not been a very good kiss after all.]

[chariotry]

[ You dare disgrace me... ]

I'll just make sure you remember the next one, then.

[ryuji]

Why would I kiss you?

[chariotry]

[ Because I'm DEAD SEXY AND YOU'RE A HORNY 17 YO BOY? ]

Why wouldn't you?

[ryuji]

Are you into me or somethin?

[chariotry]

[ Is this a trap ]

What does that mean?

Are you asking me if I'd like to fuck you?

[ryuji]

[Oh.

God.

Okay, this is a little much even for this game.]

What?

Dude, keep that thing in your pants where it belongs.

[chariotry]

Then why ask me at all?

That's besides the point anyway.

You're a mage, right?

[ryuji]

Because, I was tryin' to remember something but it sorta slipped away. Might be able to recall it, but it's like... just at the tip of my tongue.

Maybe if you offered to come help with this riot I'll remember.

[That's dirty, Ryuji. And you know it.]

Mage? You askin' if I can use magic?

Yeah. 'Course I can.

[chariotry]

I'm actually impressed. I'll commend you this time, but don't think you can pull this again.

Fine. I'll help you. Now indulge me.

Good. Since you're a mage you should provide me some of your mana if you expect me to help you.

[ryuji]

[Achilles, you were concerned about Ryuji's ability to get people to do things they didn't want to do, right?

Ryuji smiles, leans back up against the wall of the tiny stock room upstairs from the bar. He's learned a few things tonight. (Achilles is into him. And. Now that he's played his only spade in this hand, he's going to have to come to terms with the fact that he kind of has a thing for him too. Whoops.)]

We call it SP. Is that what this stuff is?

Uh.

Why do you need it?

[chariotry]

I need it because I'll fade otherwise.

If it's magical energy, it's fine. It'll be enough to sustain my physical form.

[ryuji]

[...




What?]

What the hell's that supposed to mean?

[chariotry]

I'm a Heroic Spirit, didn't I tell you? I was summoned by a mage and then I was brought here. Without a Master, I don't have a supply of mana, so I have to find my own.

[ryuji]

And if you don't get magic you kinda... die?

[It... kind of makes sense in a weird way.

A persona couldn't live outside of Ryuji's own consciousness. That would be like Captain Kidd or Seiten Taisei roaming around Paris. But still, he's never heard of a Heroic Spirit before.



Wait a sec, that was the second time he mentioned it.]

So find a master.

[chariotry]

More or less.

And I will, eventually. I want to pick someone worthy of me.

For now, I can get mana using other means. So don't worry.

Weren't you supposed to remember something?

[ryuji]

[Is this guy the biggest narcissist or what?

He wonders if Yusuke would get along with him. Replace the word "worthy of" with "aesthetically pleasing to" and it'd have pretty much the same effect.

Which... man, thinking about his friends sucks.]

Well... I guess I could help you out here. What do ya need? I got lightning aspected power, so I could just zap a few hundred thousand watts into you like jumpstarting a car.

[Heh.]

Huh... I dunno. I guess I'm having a hard time with that one.

We'll have to see after the riots! I'm countin' on you buddy.

[chariotry]

You're cheeky, aren't you? I'll have to remember that.

Lightning aspected power? Show me. And tell me more about your heart stealing.

[ryuji]

Tch, you don't even know how cheeky I can get, dude. My first persona was a pirate lord.

[He places his fingers around the edge of his skull mask.

He hasn't had to... yet... in Paris. And he's going to bed soon, so his SP will be back in the morning. What the hell. Why not? He pushes it onto his face and turns to the window of the second floor.]

Look up at the sky in about 30 seconds

[He starts channeling, starts to feel the presence of Seiten Taisei calling back to him, as he points out the window and---]

MAZIODYNE!

[Three bolts of intertwined lightning roar out of the spectral shape he commands and heads directly upward into the night.

Probably not the smartest, or safest thing to do, but, whatever.

It's flashy]
