THE PERSONA 4 MEME

→ Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon and a description of your character's Shadow and their dungeon, their Persona, their Arcana and Social Link... Go into as much detail as you want! You can either AU your character into the P4 setting, or leave them as they are in canon and simply play out their dungeon as it would happen there!
→ Step 2: Others respond, and you tag around to others!
→ Step 3: Play out P4 themed interactions -- either braving a dungeon, to rescue a friend from their Shadow, playing out Social Link rank ups, the works.
Go wild!

[Yeah, she ain't buying it, man. Just gonna give you that dubious thousand-yard soul-reaching stare.]

[diabolarchy]

...you're really annoying sometimes, you know?

[dollphilia]

I've heard worse venom spewed from the corpses of dying snakes.

[She still comes near, never breaking her gaze, and with each step she takes, her stare becomes softer.]

Why won't you admit it? You'll be stuck here just like the others, so just-

[Once she's close enough, she holds out her hand to him.]

...come back.

[diabolarchy]

[He can't take that hand. He can't admit it. It's wrong. It's a lie, a lie, a lie a lie a lie...

His smile is obviously strained.]

You have so little faith in me. I'll be fine, fine~

[dollphilia]

No.

[Harsh as she sounded, she doesn't retract her hand as she becomes more concerned.]

I won't leave until you say it.

[diabolarchy]

I'm not going to say it.

[The more she pushes, the more he resists.]

[dollphilia]

You'll die here if you don't.

[She'll keep it up as long as it takes...!]

[diabolarchy]

No, I won't. I'm far too strong for something as little as this to take me down. I won't say it.

[The other Satanick looks even more annoyed.]

[dollphilia]

Aren't you contradicting your strength by not admitting it, then?

[Takes a split-second glance at his shadow...]

Besides, better lies have been heard from reflections in a cracked mirror.

[diabolarchy]

And better metaphors from a... metaphor, thing. Look, what do you want me to say? I can't be that kind of person, I'd never live it down.

[A very, very annoyed looking Shadow.]

[dollphilia]

[Tiiilts her head slightly.]

Why not? No one is exempt from admitting their own faults- not even gods and devils.

[diabolarchy]

...I don't like having pain.

[That's not quite an admission, but it is getting closer.]

[dollphilia]

[Even if it's just a baby step towards the truth, she'll take it!]

So what? It's a part of life, isn't it?

[diabolarchy]

[...he finally takes her hand.]

Well, I can't deny that.

[dollphilia]

[She's a bit surprised for a moment, before she squeezes his hand lightly whilst her lips curve into a rare, gentle smile.]

Satanick...

[Three reaches out to embrace him tightly as she snuggles her face against his chest.]

Let's go home.

[diabolarchy]

[The Shadow folds his arms before finally fading from view. He hasn't quite accepted it, but he isn't denying it either - now isn't the time, maybe.]

So, how do we get out, exactly?
