Chapter 17: Miraluka!OC X Persona 3 -Frakking Clone Wars-
"So, I get to be my SW5e Character, but in Persona 3?" A young man asked the rather tall and hairy man in front of him. His eyes roamed the room once more as the other man's voice kind of... Faded. It seemed to be a Café, it was small and kinda of cramped, but had a really homely feeling to it.
"No, little one, you cannot Pipe-bomb our new guest." The man offering him this opportunity said to what appeared to be a Neco-Arc. One of many in this weird place. "Now, as I was summarizing." His smooth baritone voice said, a copy of the man he apparently 'Cosplayed' as. "Your abilities will be somewhat changed to fit this world, and you'll have a couple of your items with you." He nodded in turn.
"Your force sight will work like normal, however instead of Light and Dark, it will be Persona User and Non Persona User. Blue for Persona, Grey for Non." He simplified, seemingly not paying attention to the young man in front of him. More occupied with the paper work sitting on his table. "You'll be granted Revans Lightsaber and Elite Watchman Blaster, but not the AR Rifle."
He nodded, understanding flashing across his face as he thought of the Anti-Material rifle he spoke of. "Your Watchman will use up SP. Your Vow of Fate will be changed to instead shift the odds in your favour once a day. We'll do away with the Ki and Force points, instead using SP." Lycaon paused, seemingly being distracted by something behind him.
"Ah, I do believe that I need to let you go." Alexander didn't have a chance to say a thing or look behind him before waking up next to Makoto.
...
...
'Let's take stock of our inventory, having years worth of memories crammed fucking sucks, but at least I know what I have.' Alex "Looked" to his left, seeing the Male Protagonist from Persona 3. 'I can hear exceptionally well, that's not going to fuck me over in the long run.' He silently grumbled to herself as he "Looked" inward to his sort-of yet not really inventory she was granted.
'Tarot deck from Persona 3, My Lightsaber and Blaster... That's all? Really? Man-Oh, any clothes I wear are turned into my robes? Nice.' Aleris thought as she finally took a breath in this new world, the air so much cleaner than his previous one. 'I feel weird how my identities as Fenris from this world and Alexander are kinda merging.'
It was a weird dichotomy, suddenly having both 16 years as a male and 16 years as a female, even as well-endowed as she now was. 'I think I'm slightly bigger than Noriko Kashiwagi...' They looked down, feeling the bra rub against their skin slightly uncomfortably to their male side of the brain but providing a lot of comfortable support to the female side.
"Attention passengers, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay. The next stop is Iwatodai." She grabbed the cane next to me and her big red suitcase from above her seat, moving to settle in next to our blue-haired protagonist. She didn't have to wait log for the doors to open and let her through, even thought she could technically see perfectly fine... She still used a cane to sell the illusion of being blind.
Makoto seemed too engrossed in his Mp3 Device to notice me following him through the station and into the dark-hour. His music cutting out entirely as I could hear blood drip onto the floor. The only sound accompanying us as we walked through coffins were the sounds of our footsteps. I stepped in, time seemingly skipping for me past Pharos and directly to Yukari appearing.
"Who's there!" I could see both silhouettes in glowing blue. Yukari's hand shaking as she held it over her Evoker. "Oh yes, shoot the blind girl, will you?" Erica Lindbeck's voice, eh? I vibe with it. "Huh!?"
"Takeba! Wait!" Mitsuru appeared from down the hallway, Makoto's headset kicking in and blasting music again. 'Hello there, my dear Waifu!' She approached closer, seemingly surprised at seeing me tapping my cane against the floor with a slight clak sound. "I'm sorry about that, I didn't think you'd arrive so late." She nodded to Matoko before seemingly turning to look at me, still behind him at the door.
"My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the students who live in this dorm." She gave us both a curt nod. "May I know who you are?" I could feel the smile part my lips as I slightly bowed. 'And now's my time to shine, oh don't look at me confused protag-Kun.' I'm sure they are taking me in, if the glare I can feel from Yukari on my chest is anything to go by.
...
"I'm Fenris, no last name. I'm a new transfer, like I assume the boy in front of me is... This is the girls' dorm, yes?" Mitsuru watched the Olive skinned girl, her hand holding her walking stick lightly. "You'd be incorrect, this is a co-ed one. It was a last minute decision to transfer the boy in front of you here... You should be at the other's Girl's dorm." The girl shrank in on herself, seeming losing her bravado from before as she chuckled. "Sorry, being blind has its disadvantages." She raised the black cloth covering her- "Oh!" Yukari breathlessly let out as they were treated to the sight of just skin, not even eye sockets.
"I'll be attending Gekkoukan High School this spring, Junior year, I got in with a scholarship." She seemingly pulled herself back into her previous tone of voice and body language, even if a dusting of pink graced her cheeks as the cloth fell back to covering her eyes. "Oh, where are my manners. This is Yukari Takeba. She'll be a junior this spring, just like the both of you."
...
I know for sure I have that Monster Hunter Rise Fluffy long hairstyle now, fucking love this one!
"...Hey." She waved at us both, that's kind of her.
"Why do you have a gun?" Makoto, you can't just ask a lady that, buddy. "Huh? Um, well, it's sorta like a hobby... Well, not a hobby, but..." Yukari seemed to hesitate, taking a step back as she grabbed one hand in the order. "You know how it is these days... It's for self-defence." Mitsuru placated with an easy smile. "It's not a real gun, of course." She assured us.
"It would seem the Fool is curious." Everyone stared at me as I walked forward, not elaborating. "I'm sorry if it would be a bother but, considering it's pretty late, would it be alright if I spent the night?" I asked, laying a hand on Makoto's shoulder and feeling him shiver. "Your room is on the second floor, at the end of the hallway. Your things should already be there." Mitsuru reached forward, gently taking my hand and dragging me away.
"Luckily, we have a guest room you can stay in." Her hand was... So soft, and it honestly made my heart skip a beat as I could feel the warmth radiate off it. We walked toward the stairs, walking up to the 3rd floor and stopping at the first door. "This room isn't in use, but it has been prepped just in case." She pulled a key from her pocket, unlocking the door and letting the musty air out into the hall.
"Truly, thank you for letting sleep here tonight." I bowed, feeling the weight of my shoulder boulders being pulled down by gravity isn't the best, but I have to do my best to thank her. "I'll retrieve you tomorrow morning to take you to the school." She turned and started to leave, pausing at the door for a moment. "Was everything alright on your way here?"
Now, how do I answer that? I could be entirely truthful about knowing the dark Hour exists, I could hint at it, or I could- "Fenris?" Concern leaked into her voice at the time I was taking to answer. "It seemed to be, but I could've sworn I heard blood dripping on my way here." I was already turning away, opening my suitcase to grab my Fox Print Pajamas.
"Ah." She seemed lost for words at how nonchalant I was being. "Well, I'm going to head to bed, I'll see you in the morning!" She closed the door without another word, I could feel the cameras in the room shift slightly as they pointed towards me. I walked into the small bathroom and started my nightly routine and started singing.
"I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade~ Hiding both face and mind~" The clod water really felt good on my skin, silky smooth as it was... I was kinda disappointed I'd never actually get to see myself. "All free for you to draw~ I'm a shape-shifter, what else should I be?~" Erica Lindbeck truly does have a nice voice, and now I get to use it to sing... Weird, I thought I would be more excited over this... "Please don't take off my mask~" I grabbed the hand-towl and wiped the water from my face, quickly changing and moving into the sweet embrace of Morpheus.
"I'll also show you a sweet dream, next night." A voice whispered into my ear as I finally clonked out for the night.
