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!

Y- you - like -
[ It makes sense, actually, in an impossibly stupid kind of way. Obnoxious and terrible as the demon is, Valmont's sure he could find someone who was actually willing to sleep with him. Why keep coming back to Valmont, if not out of some twisted sense of affection? It might even be oddly touching, if he cared, which he doesn't.
So he chooses not to acknowledge it directly. Instead, he turns his confused glare on the other Satanick, who seems to be talking a bit more sense right now, at least. ]
What is he on about? What was that about weakness? And for that matter, do you want to tell me how there came to be two of you in the first place? I would have thought one was bad enough!
no subject
[The other Satanick is the one to explain.] I am a Shadow, the true self. The parts of him that he won't accept exist. Neither him nor I know exactly how he got here, in this world, but I assure you, we didn't choose to be here or to bring you here.
no subject
This is some sort of stupid demon thing, isn't it. Some life cycle thing they go through, like molting, except instead of shedding your skin you shed a slightly less obnoxious version of yourself. Well, whatever the hell it is, he's wound up right in the middle of it. Because of course he has. ]
I assume that last bit means you won't be able to send me back, then, either.
[ He's not sure which of the two to direct that question at, so he just kind of addresses the empty space between them. ]
Which would mean I'm trapped here. With you. Both of you.
[ He's trying to keep calm, but he can't stop his voice rising a bit at the end there. Being trapped with one Satanick would have been bad enough. This is not okay. ]
no subject
[Again, genuinely contrite, and this time Satanick sends an even sharper glare his way.]
It's not my fault, I don't know what you want from me. You have nothing worth complaining about, see, you're all in one piece.
no subject
- No, what the hell, where did that come from? He doesn't want to keep any version of the demon, even if it is a version that actually treats him with some respect for a change. And even if he did want to, it doesn't look like he has any sort of say in which one sticks around. ]
I'd consider having to spend any significant length of time around you something worth complaining about - what do you mean, in one piece? Is that supposed to be a threat?
[ He's definitely getting worried now. As previous experience has shown, his odds against one four-armed demon, let alone two, are not incredibly good. ]
no subject
You know he won't be in one piece for very long. He'll die and leave you. Everyone will die and leave you, humans and demons, your wife an your child, everyone. That's why you try never to get attached.
...Quiet.
no subject
Suddenly the portraits are starting to make a little bit more sense.
This isn't really a topic that's ever crossed Valmont's mind - he very much does not want to think about Satanick continuing to torment him until death do they part, thank you - but... it's a valid point. Barring him getting his hands on the dog talisman again, he's almost certainly going to die someday. And no, he's not particularly happy about that prospect. But the demon must have hundreds of lovers - he's got no reason to care if that number should, eventually, diminish by one.
Except that, apparently, he does. And that's something Valmont has no idea how to deal with. ]
Well. Serve you right, then, doesn't it?
no subject
So you put on the mask and never let anyone get attached to you back, so it hurts less when they leave you. That's how you've always operated and it's how you'll act until the end of time.
[It's hard for Satanick to keep from even looking at his Shadow now, but he makes an attempt.]
no subject
You aren't supposed to agree with me.
[ He points an accusing finger at the purple-eyed Satanick, then turns on the yellow-eyed one. ]
And you - don't just stand there psychoanalyzing! If you are some part of him, can't you make him stop treating me the way he does? You must be aware of what he's been doing to me!
[ Probably intimately aware, in fact. But he doesn't want to think too hard about that. ]
no subject
I don't believe it. It's a bunch of nonsense, that's all.
[See how well that's going.]
