You never saw me flip the cards when we played poker, either.

[ YEAH, DAVE IS...FAST. he lets his sword disappear but leans back against - where are they the woods? the roof? either way there's a tree or like, an edge of the roof to lean on, surely. ]

[tarotcards]

[ let's say a roof because that sounds ridiculous. souji will walk over to his bag where he packed them water bottles and then go to hand dave one ]

You cheated those coyotes pretty good back then. I'm surprised they didn't actually attack us.

[parodeity]

[ dave takes the water bottle and uncaps it to take a swig. ]

They sure wanted to. But, I dunno, I was raised to that style of fighting? Cheatin', I mean.

[tarotcards]

Mm, true, I don't think they were playing fairly either.

[ souji will place down his sword on the roof as he sits next to dave, also drinking from his bottle of water ]

Your powers are pretty impressive. They make my Personas pale in comparison, honestly.

[parodeity]

I don't really know a lot about Personas still? Even though I think I was one, briefly.

[ THANKS, RYOJI ]

[tarotcards]

You were a Persona?

[ wat ]

[parodeity]

I was very briefly "Thanatos"? Minako summoned me up, even. Ryoji and I switched some bullshit back in July. Then we got it back, but.

[tarotcards]

[ huh, souji did not know about this. he didn't even know it was possible to really become a persona unless you have special circumstances like ryoji did. it's... interesting ]

How was it? Did you feel any different?

[parodeity]

Yeah. I didn't have a heartbeat, and I was...dead, and...different? It was...not the most pleasant thing.

[tarotcards]

I see...

Hm, to your earlier point, I don't think any of us truly know what Personas are. They almost feel like a part of me, residing within myself, but I don't know what that means when I have about six of them. Especially when one of them is a walking and living fountain of fire.

[parodeity]

What's it feel like having them inside you, anyway?

[tarotcards]

... it's hard to explain but it feels like something... almost living within me. I can feel their powers swirling around and they're always in the back of my mind, almost acting like a clear reminder that I'm not alone.

[ he fiddles with the cap of his water bottle, twisting it on and off as he speaks ]

It's not unsettling though. In fact, it's kind of welcoming, now that I know what they are and that they can protect me.

[parodeity]

That's cool. I feel kind of similarly about time? Which sounds dumb, because it's not something to keep you company, but...

[tarotcards]

With time?

[ i can’t remember if dave told souji about the time travel stuff yet but i am going to say nah because souji needs to be like dang i need that power ]

[parodeity]

I'm the "Knight of Time". It's my aspect, it's like...part of me. I always know when I am and exactly when it is and how long it's been since anything, and I can move around the timestream if I want.

There're limits still. But.
