t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began.[ She's right, he knows it, and so he isn't going to argue on it, as much as he doesn't like it. ]
Just stay close. We shouldn't stick around any longer than we have to.

No more from me. I'm not cut out for things like this.
[ He doesn't regret it, though, because... ]
I was. They're both safe, now.

[ Let him live??? ]
It wasn't as if it were planned on our end. Or even consensual-- really, most of us were waiting for... er... [ He pauses for just a moment, and there's a very big conflict between wanting to point out that this implied that Okuni is here to save them, which is great! But also the fact he just called her Papa. In reference to Doris, sure, but...!!!!!! ]
What... was that? [ There may or may not be an excited glint in his eyes, even if his hands are currently squished in the belly of a siren. Quick, Okuni, it's not too late to change your mind and leave him here. ]

[ They nod, accepting his alleged abilities quite easily. They've met a lot of strange people with strange powers, so it's not too hard to believe that someone would be capable of this. ]
Yes, I heard from someone else that abilities are weakened here, for whatever reason. [ They don't look at him while they speak, preferring to keep their eye on the cold waves. ] Do you feel anything else wrong with your condition?

[The fact they don't look at Shouto doesn't bother him at all. While he shakes his he also vocalizes it.]
Not really. I'm hungry and tired, but I don't think that has anything to do with this place.
[There's not a lot to eat. The creeping paranoia that the sirens will sing somebody else to the ocean also makes it hard to sleep.]

[ Now they're both confused, especially because they really have no idea how to explain what a Persona is having only seen one twice. ]
Its... something a few people in this town have. They make a big thing appear from nowhere, like you are right now.
[ That's about as specific as it's going to get, unfortunately. ]
What is that, if it's not...?

Nothing can stop us from hoping.
[ but no, not likely. ]
[ but no, not likely. ]
[ They note that she's going a little slower than they are, slowing their pace (but only slightly). If at all possible, they'd like to stay in front of her just in case anything comes up. Though, they nod without looking back to her, letting her know that they are definitely listening. ]
Well, what we find is all yours. I have all the strength I need.
[ The pair come up to a slight downward slope in the water, the water level rising a bit closer to their waists with each wave. Cairngorm doesn't seem bothered by it, but they throw back a glance to Zelda herself, watching carefully how she's wading through the waves. ]
Before anything else— you better not push yourself with that injury, or whatever that is. [ They look down into the water, as if they're going to be able to tell what's wrong with it by that alone. ] I'll try to draw the fish out closer to shore so you won't have to go out much further, but if it gets to be too much... you really should stop.

Yes, like an amethyst, though I'm not one.
[ The severe lack of purple in their color palette definitely points in that direction, but they say that regardless. It really is so weird how amethysts and diamonds are the only gems that ever get mentioned to them, but they push that aside for now. ]
It was only in passing, but... I heard you have healing powers, or something like that. [ They wave their hand a little, an indication that they didn't know much about it outside of an abstract description. ] It's to be expected that some people hear of each other given how much we end up having to work together.

[ Cool, they nod at his suggestion and move to get up, keeping a hand on their beginning to become limp left arm. ]
I can show you. As long as the cut isn't too jagged, it won't be a problem.
[ Cairn takes careful steps on the jagged rocks to advance towards the shore where there's other people from town in boats, obviously running off to go and try to find their own friends and such— but they tear their attention away from that to glance back for Guren, matching their pace with whatever he does. ]
It'll be quick, too. [ Efficient, and relatively painless. ] I'm sure you have plenty of other people to go look for.

Yeah. Don't worry, I'll get to them. You're someone we came to rescue, too.
[Stopping on the beach where it seems like a good place, he turns to face them head on.]
I can make clean cuts, so you won't have to worry about it being jagged. Ready? Just tell me where.

But hope only gets you so far.
Okay, then next, I punch them in the throat!

Well, it's not wrong. And normally, I'd be able to do more, but--
[ she'll also flap a hand. ]
My persona's almost as good as sealed. -- Actually, can you get hurt? Quartz is pretty hard, isn't it?

[ dave leans into the hand, shakes his head. ] Not your fault. I was just - I was never honest with you. [ he doesn't try to be. he just means it felt like regret and loss. ] And I missed you. And I was worried. But it's not your fault. You're okay?
You mean other than the almost certainly unsafe to drink ocean water?
[ said with a dry snip, because no, she hasn't. she sighs and rubs her face with a hand, frustrated. ]
Forgive me, that was uncalled for. I haven't found any fresh water, no. Unless it rains we'll be forced to drink the ocean water.

Do you normally fight? Or is this something you've had to learn in here?
[ it'd be a lot easier for everyone involved if everyone knew how to do it to a degree, but that's not how the town works, which is too bad. the good news is more often than not inexperience isn't really a hindrance here since there's always help to be found. ] And that's good to hear, at least. I'm happy for you.

[ giorno purses his lips, clearly reluctant to reveal what it is, until he just finally says, ]
... It's a Stand.
Most of the time people shouldn't be able to see it, and for good reason: it's a rather personal thing. It's a reflection of the user's soul.
But things are different here so I probably should just let it go.
Personas sound very similar, however. It isn't really surprising that even in different worlds, the means of summoning may be different for people but the principle remains the same.

[Okay that's weird. But it's good weird. So hey stronger and faster to basically beat a siren to a pulp. And its friend when it shows up to help. Straight back into the water.]
Don't try to eat... me or my friends... again!
[Seriously. He has taken offense at that. Serious serious offense.]

I guess it's more like our schedules got cleared up.
[Since they were both so busy back home.]
Who's that?
[Since they were both so busy back home.]
Who's that?
Mm. I guess it does.
[Though no one in their group ever really felt the need to prove themselves, so to speak, when they were new, he remembers what happened with Morgana as new people joined up. He felt like they didn't need him anymore, like he was replaced.
Sometimes group dynamics can be tough. But all that really matters is...]
But if you were both dedicated to the group, it worked out, right?

[Akira raises his head when Akechi stops, then grins when he sees what it is he wants. Of course; they always do this, when passing the torch off to another.
So he also raises his hand, and gives Akechi a high five.
Go get 'em.]
