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!

[ there's a fleeting moment where she almost asks what his Shadow had said and then common sense practically snaps into place and silences the question before it can leave her mouth. she's not about to ask him to share something so intensely personal, even if he had seen her Shadow. ]

S--so, what happens when it... d--disappears? When I told her I was s--sorry... she smiled and then it looked l--like she'd disappeared...

[ ... furrowing her brow... ]

W--was that my Persona... like everyone else has...?

[lapidarius]

That's right.

[the funny thing was, all things considered he'd absolutely have answered honestly. It was only fair, after all.]

Which...that isn't to say you have to fight like the rest of us. No one's going to ask that of you, obviously. But you could, if you wanted to learn to control it.

[muusou]

... N--no, I...

[ she'd never even thought about fighting until he brought it up -- but now that it's an option, there really is no question, is there? it'll be... scary. it'll be really scary. but if she has some kind of power, if she can help people, then what kind of girl would she be if she refused? ]

I--I want... to fight. I might be a burden and I m--might not be much help--

[ and then GOD SHE'S BOWING AGAIN ]

-- P--please let me fight with you!

[lapidarius]

...Are you really sure about that? I'm not going to force you or talk you into it--this kind of thing is dangerous. It's easy to get hurt or even killed.

[muusou]

I--I nearly died once already. I'm only alive now because there were people who could h--help me.

S--so, yes. I'm sure. If... if I can be any help at all, then I'll do my best.

[lapidarius]

There's not going to be any discouragng you, is there?

[Laughing, he held out his hand for a handshake.]

Welcome to the team, in that case. I'm sorry you've gotten involved in something overly complicated.

this is like the most anime tag ive ever written

[muusou]

N--no... it's fine. I want to be a part of this, so don't apologize.

[ she hesitates though before extending her own hand and taking his. she's aware that a handshake like this puts them on a level more akin to equals than anything else. but... well, if they're teammates, then that's exactly what they are, right?

she finally, she takes his hand and shakes, giving him a faint smile as she does so. ]

I p--promise I'll help you all out any way I can, senpai.

just reading that gave me a terminal case of the desus

[lapidarius]

Wh-you really don't need to call me that. Just using my family name is perfectly fine.

[HOW DO I FRIENDS]

I mean--I'm hardly any particular role model at this point, frankly.

UGUU

[muusou]

[ looking ALL KINDS OF FLUSTERED about that ]

B--but--! Y--you're in the year above me! I shouldn't r--really be that familiar with you!

dokidoki

[lapidarius]

I-it's just a name, really. It doesn't matter all that much to me.

[muusou]

Th--then... I--I promise to work hard, Noriaki-san!

[ that's. that's the best you're going to get and GOD SHE'S BOWING AGAIN SOMEONE TELL THIS GIRL TO CHILL ]

I'll p--probably mess up and cause a lot of problems, but I really will do my best!

[lapidarius]

[you know what at this point he's gonna take what he can get and not point out nobody calls him 'noriaki']

[ROLL WITH IT]

It's fine, Sonico-san, really. I'm sure you'll do fine.
