[action/video] First Remembrance

[notsogrimreaper]

[Action]

[Those who live in room 4-12 (if there are any) or people simply passing by will be surprised to find a new arrival here, dressed in that bodysuit, and purple collar latched snugly around his neck. Not that Ryoji seems to notice, he's still peacefully dreaming away...

For now.

As soon as he wakes up, all hell will break loose, once Ryoji realizes he's alive, his world has been ended, and he's stuck here, unable to escape and keep the residents safe.

...Wake him?]

[Video]

[A few hours later, Ryoji makes a post to the network. The video feed reveals his face, still pale from all the distress, that collar, and his shoulders, which are stiffened. He works his lip for a long while before speaking, not really knowing what to say.]

I... ended everything. The Fall happened, and I was right, no one could stop it. N-Not even Minato-kun.

[He sighs shakily, lowers his head. There's a few moments of silence, but observant listeners will hear sobbing and a whispered mantra: "I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

Then he looks up, smiling weakly, all signs of sadness desperately hidden.]

So... would anyone like to h-help me out? I'm lost...

[...Well, isn't this face familiar. Still, he frowns a bit at the screen. Doesn't remember, huh. Oh well; he'll say it.]

It wasn't anything we did or didn't do. Don't blame yourself.

[notsogrimreaper]

It is what I did. I-I know it.

[Buh? Doesn't remember what? Sorry, Yu, Ryoji's a little too preoccupied with ending the world again.

...And the worst part is, he knows because he can feel it. Feel her. He thought he'd be free of her, at least for a little while...]

[pitiedthefool]

I kind of doubt it.

[It's okay, he'll just... quietly mention something privately that will likely shock Ryoji and shock him good. Thank all for being a roommate of Minato.]

...I'm Yu Narukami, a Persona User from the year 2012. It didn't end.

[terreifying]

You...ended everything? Does that mean you destroyed the world?

[Strange. He doesn't look like a person capable of that. And he sounds genuinely regretful about it.]

[notsogrimreaper]

I... must have. I-I have the ability too, and I wasn't able to be stopped. I must have ended everything. I'm... s-so sorry.

[Ryoji ducks his head down, unable to face anyone.]

[terreifying]

Why?

[Rei had never spoken to someone like this before. Someone who could destroy the world and regret it afterwards.]

[...The two of them were much the same.]

[harepiece]

[oh boy oh boy a roommate that isn't a giant angry fishman!! This is practically the best thing he's run into in a good day or two.

On the other hand, he's well aware of the momentary sleep paralysis by now and isn't too keep on waking up the newcomer just yet. Delivering an unnecessary fright is not on his to-do list! If Ryoji is still sleeping when he ambles back in another fifteen minutes, however, he'll reach over to gently tap his shoulder.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Nope, still sleeping, the lazy bum. Probably dreaming and mumbling something about a Minato? Whoever that is...

He whines a little at the tapping, looking the part of a lethargic teen. Sorry, man, you're going to have to try a little harder.]

[harepiece]

[gosh is he going to have to mother hen everyone here? He briefly considers letting Ryoji continue to sleep but if that happens he might miss one of the designated meal times, and that would just be miserable.

SO instead he'll just turn around and half sit, half flop himself onto Ryoji's bed, leaning over to rap his forehead with his knuckles. Lightly, of course! No headaches needed here.]

Rise and shine, sleepyhead!

Voice

[firstofthefallen]

I very highly doubt that.

This tower is designed to make us believe the world has ended. Until further evidence can be provided, it is a lie.

voice

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji finds the button to swap over to voice, and oh, this is preferable. He can hide his red eyed crying this way.]

T-Then no one's proven it? I-I just thought because of... well, certain things had gone on in my world to make me think that.

voice

[firstofthefallen]

None of its proven. All we have is the hearsay of the Tower, and what the Tower itself might have shown people.

Such cannot be trusted.

[Lucifer wonders if this Appraiser will recognize him. The last one did, but with the variety of worlds that abound...he wouldn't be surprised if there was one so far separated from the usual chain he wouldn't know who he was.]

[fuhgeddaboudit]

Hey--woah, woah, don't start cryin'!

[does she look vaguely like another robot you know, maybe she should]

Where are ya? I'll come find ya and we can getcha figured out.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Oh, she does! So much that when Ryoji glances up, just for a second so that he can look back down to hide his eyes, it looks so much like her...]

A-Aigis-chan. I-I'm sorry...

I-I'm... well, I was on the forth floor, and I found a computer, so, I...

[Okay, one more glance and he's starting to catch on. Sort of. Give him some time, he's a bit of a moron.]

W-Why does your voice sound different?

[fuhgeddaboudit]

...Huh? You know my sister?

[the heeeeeell....]

I ain't Aigis, I'm Labrys.

[ub001]

[ Her tone is soft, somewhat comforting, kind of like speaking from experience. ] If it happened, there has to be a reason for it, and I doubt one person would have enough power to do that much.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji switches over to voice, though it's still apparent from the quiver of his voice that he's still distressed.]

...I'm not human anyways. So I-I could have enough power.

[ub001]

Oh? A supernatural being, then?

Did you want to cause the end?

[determinedhowl]

[Don't mind him, just passing by as someone else is watching the feed--]

[determinedhowl]

[Oh! He knows that voice! Ryoji-san!!! 8D]

[determinedhowl]

[But... he was all black and mean and going on about how he was going to bring about the end, and calling himself Nyx the last time he saw him...]

[imperialsun]

[Much like Yu, Naoya realizes that this Ryoji isn't the one he knew from before, so he refrains from saying his name, at least for now. He can talk about that later.]

I can help you, if you'd like.

[notsogrimreaper]

P-Please... I have no idea where I am. I'm supposed to be dead...

[justiceinheaven]

'The fall'? Who fell?

[Nanako peers at the screen, concerned for the poor teen that was on it. He looked so sad... he really needed someone to give him a hug or something.]

Are you okay? Where are you?

naaaanaaa-chaaaaan

[notsogrimreaper]

E-Everything... the world ended. It's a-all my fault...

[Ryoji tries to get a hold of himself once he realizes there's a younger girl speaking to him. He certainly doesn't want to scare her...]

I-I was on the fourth floor, then I found a computer in one of the walls, so...
