The Persona series have captured my personal interest, love, and devotion, and I’m sure there are others that share my love, so I thought to myself: Why not make a Persona RP?
The story starts in an Island named Verdona, where everything is usually peaceful, and the cops are there just so they have a force. The surroundings are in a highly tropical climate.
However, lately, It’s been getting cold… really cold. The townspeople are baffled by the record cold:
This is where our story starts. At midnight, a weather station begins to look like a giant Ice sickle… only with a door and windows… what could this possibly mean.
For those who don’t know about persona’s, it is very simple. A persona is your inner self- what you feel deep inside. When a person comes into contact with the paranormal, these personas are released by their user to protect themselves. Calling a persona comes in many ways (Two examples: Using a special gun-look alike called an Evoker, and shooting yourself in the head, or attacking a card with the image of your persona.), but all have the same effects
Of course, shadows are the main cause behind these incidents. Shadows are beast that come in all forms. They don’t attack normal people, but persona-users are their favorite treat. They’ll kill any user who enters their nest. (In this case, the ice glacier.
And now… da rules
1. obey all policy’s, and that sorta thing. NO god-modding… blah blah, you get the idea.
The rules for the game:
You can be on any side, do anything you want (within reason of course), make friends/ girlfriends if you wish.
No one has their personas at the start.
2. This is based on what you pick for choosing your persona. If you choose a certain way to call your persona, then it has to be logical. (For example, if you use an Evoker, you have to get it from someone. Either a persona user with one to spare, or an npc. The police have them in a bin of useless stuff, so they are not actual guns, and can’t realize their potential.)
3. Having fun is a must.
4. There are also social links. These are gained by forming relationships with others see below
5. No wild cards abilities (a.k.a having more than 1 persona)
6. Almighty attacks are allowed, but no spaming them. You have to be decently strong
7. 1 arcana per person
Now then: For the skeleton
Spoiler:
ahem EDIT: poay tine to explain charm, and darkness. Thanks to http://www.psychicscience.org/random.aspx. We have a number generator that's free. to use. Okay, now that's done, listen up. All atacks that have to deal with percents will be used by this. EXAMPLE: Typer in 1- 100 on the geneator, and hit go. Mudo has a 15 chance of success, so if the generator lands a number on 85 or above, the attack hits. Type 1-99. THat's how much percent is lost off of someones health. If someones arcan, links allow for a bigger increase, just to the same thing... simple, no?Mudoon has25 % chance, so if the number was 75 or above, the attack goes through. Same goes for charm, witch has a 15% chance of success. Sexy dance has 25%... Be honest people.
I had problems when figuring light and dark out, but eventually came to a brain blast. Light attacks heal, but if used against an opponet with darkness, it'll damage them. Allied spell will still heal them, hower. For darkness against light, double the percent: instad on 25 %, it would be 50%.
Also, you don't have to stick with certain spells. Just beacuse you have Agi, dosen't mean you could use it all the time. Fire Users can manipulate fire, same thing for eyryone else. Light can make sun rays bend for some purpose, and dark weilder make darkness in shadowy places. Be creative.
Darkness no longer kills... it just drains.

*thinks* Wonder if Slezak will join on this one, he likes Persona.
Name: Shirou Aokage
Age: 18
Appearence: Quite tall (about six-one), stocky, has short dark hair and amber eyes which are usually kept hidden behind sunglasses. As for clothing, he insists on using a blue bomber jacket and baggy jeans and rarely ever changes his clothing selection.
Weapons/items: He keeps a pike as decoration in his room, and that is the only weapon he learned to use, by himself. He doesn't care much for carrying items, but he is always seen with a soda can at hand.
Persona’s name: Lilim
Persona’s Appearance: A small female with long black hair, pointy ears and a pair of demonic wings. Wears nothing but a piece of white clothing covering her whole torso.
Type of invocation: After the first time the Persona activates, through Evoker.
Type: Electric and Darkness (Just to note, though, I don't want to be immune to electricity, only to darkness.)
Bio: The simple environment of Verdona is very attractive to Shirou. He came from Japan, from a married pair of very traditional families, and now lives alone near the school he attends, although he dislikes it: he does not care for studying, and only his intelligence prevented him from failing in high school more often than he would have been safe with. Works part-time in the police department, for it was the only avaliable institute for some time to offer part-time jobs: the police force had been getting very little personnel since no real policeman felt attracted to such an eventless job (at least on that island) and were leaving for other job opportunities. However, a murder occurs, and Shirou will eagerly step up against whoever is the perpetrator to restore the sheer peace at the town where he had finally found peace.

Age: 27
Appearence: Short, wavy black hair and brown eyes and a mole under her right eye. Briar stands about 5'7 with a lithe figure. Usually, she wears a grumpy or dour expression and has bags under her eyes. Her usual warbrobe is busy casual but her clothes tend to have a bit of an unkempt appearance air to them, whether it be a shirt that hasn't been completely ironed or a missing button or two from her cuffs. If it's cold she usually wears a brown leater jacket over top. She has a large scar piercing through her side from front to back from an accident as a child.
Weapons/items: Fist fighter, eventually uses katars.
Persona’s name: Sleipnir
Persona’s Appearance: A large gray, eight-legged horse. No bridle, saddle, or rider.
Type of invocation: Card.
Type: Strike type, but learns a fair amount of dark abilities.
Bio: Briar grew up in a small town in near the coast. She lived a fairly normal life up until high school consisting of a daily routine of going to school, hanging out with friends, messing with her little sister, helping out at the family bar, and going to newspaper club with her fraternal twin, Ariel. It was expected that either Briar or Ariel would eventually take over the bar but neither wanted that life. Both wanted to get out of their suffocating town, escape family expectations, and strike it big somehow. Through newspaper club they figured that something news related may catch their interest and agreed that once they graduated they would both move to the same city. They would not depend on each other though, they would try and make their own way.
Graduation came and they both had enough money to move out. After several screaming matches with the family they got grudging support to move to Verdona. Once down there the twins’ path diverged. Ariel found work as a gopher for GoNews!'s station, deciding to work her way up the chain, and Briar saw an opening for the Arcane, a small magazine, as a multitasking employee. What she found out when she was hired was that by 'multitasking' they expecting her edit, photograph, occasionally column write, and go on the field to look for stories. The extra work didn't bother Briar as much as the content of the magazine. The magazine was paranormally based, specializing in printing the latest hauntings, freaks, dead celebrity appearances, and a side gossip section for the latest scandals. The staff was small and most of the workers were only staying long enough to prepare for another job opening so Briar eventually managed to rise in the Arcane but it was a pyrrhic victory: she was still stuck working for a magazine she was increasingly coming to dislike. Morever, her belief in the supernatural has hit an all-time low in working for the company, leaving her a firmly grounded realist and cynic.
As a side note, should we have an Arcana we affiliate with?

Apparently, Insho wanted info on invocation methods, so he should be posting his charater first. I think we should start by having a 'chance' meeting with someone. For intance, My first post will be about winning a Kendo tournament (since I'm in the kendo club, and going somewhere to celebrate.

I'll go with Death since it fits Briar's situation I guess. For meetings, Briar's probably going to be going around following up outlandish rumors or something so who knows?

Name: Shiloh Haywood
Age: 17
Appearance: Girl with long brown hair and grey eyes. Wears contacts, but she has a pair of glasses with her just in case. About 5'7" and has an average build for a girl her age. Likes to wear pretty blouses with jeans, but doesn't dress colorfully. She's not gorgeous, but not unattractive, either.
Weapons/items: One-handed Sword
Persona’s name: Persephone
Persona’s Appearance: A pale, forlorn girl with wavy blonde hair decorated with wilted flowers. Wears a loose, light grey gown and holds a pomegranate.
Type of invocation: Card.
Type: I don't think Fool is supposed to have a specific type, but I guess Wind.
Arcana: Fool
Bio: A high schooler with great potential. She tends to keep to herself, but she likes making friends and has surprisingly strong leadership skills. Shiloh was sent to Verdona to live with her grandmother after her parents disappeared while on a business trip. Her recent arrival to Verdona is marked by sadness and apprehension because her parents have not been found dead or alive, but she hopes that her new high school will make her feel better. She was on the fencing team in her old high school and joins the kendo team at her new one in Verdona, but finds that kendo is very different and challenging.

Name: Yo Imamoto [you eh-ma-moh-toh]
Age: 19
Appearance: Average height, lanky, and neither handsome nor unappealing. He is in the mid five-foot six range, and is not one to stand out-- his flat black hair (curling only slightly at the tips) and pointed nose would help him blend into any crowd. Generally speaking, Yo is a plain looking guy.
Yo is predominantly of Asian descent, on his mother's side. He has vision problems, from his father's gene-pool, and requires that he usually wear glasses; during most extraneous activities, he sports contacts instead. Yo has never seen wearing anything but a striped, short-sleeve shirts, lights and darks of the same base color looping around his arms and chest. Even at work, he has one of his "lucky shirts" on underneath his uniform.
He greets others with a cheerful expression, yet dark circles line his eyes...
Weapons/items: Baseball bat (easily substitutable with any bludgeoning weapon, i.e. a pipe or club)
Persona’s name: Hraesvelgr
Persona’s Appearance: A large, sleet-gray bird of prey with blue-gray underwing feathers. Has one leg (four toes), which bears a thick iron leg cuff, bound to a broken chain. Instead of an avian head, Hraesvelgr bears that of an upside-down human face lined within a circling plume of silver feathers; eyes tightly clamped shut, it neither smiles nor frowns.
Type of invocation: Card
Type: Ice (minor Light)
Arcana: Hanged Man
Bio: Yo Imamoto is a Senior in high school. He has lived with his mother and two younger siblings in Verdona all his life, and hasn't left it's shores once. Ever since he could, he has worked countless part time jobs; currently, he holds a position at a local grocery, and at a soup kitchen on weekends. He tries to be sociable, but between conflicting schedules, he's left with very little personal time outside of vacation and holidays.
An avid fan, he has a special place in his heart for the game of baseball, and knows the ins and outs of it by heart. This has made him the butt of a joke, as its said that if the television is tuned in to a game at the soup kitchen, it's because Yo is on shift. A rumor goes so far as to say the channels change on their own, right as he punches in.
Ms. Imamoto hasn't been seen outdoors lately, and Yo watches over his brother and sister in her stead. He's always late to his classes as he always makes sure his siblings get safely to school first; this act alone would help describe Yo's personality perfectly.

Persona’s Appearance:
Spoiler:
Type of invocation: Microsleep
Type: Power, Light,
Arcana: Star
Bio: Traum is a strange person, he is known to mumble to himself when he walks the treets.
He hasn't slept in three months, convinced that the voices he hears in his dreams are demons trying to take his body over.
The only problem is, he's started to hear the voices while awake.
((The voice is his persona, Yay for insanity!))

Oh, and this Island is japanese style, so the title thing still aplies... if agreeable.
Alicioun will probably be the first to gain his persona, since, so far (unless i missed something) He'll be the best for the storyline. He could say he found one will examining evidence or something. For us, who have cards, will more than likely have to face our shadows. Eitther in compat, debate, etc. That's where ALi comes in... not really sure how DOmaya's is gonna work out... any ideas for him?
Okay, we are more than ready to start. Let...US... COMMENCE!

For instance, the unknown age and the magic changing weapon are, although not bad ideas in their own right, out of place for a realistic (I use the term loosely) setting. Other than that, I like the other ideas he has in place-- he's tormented by his own persona, and it has left him unhinged. The microsleep bit is also unique: the aspect of him "passing out" to/while invoking Morpheus is the kind of twist I like in a plot.
Adding a little bit of detail to compensate for the missing points would be what I would suggest. This's my two-cents, anyway, take it as you will.

Quick question. You said the island is Japanese style so does it take place in Asia then? Is the majority of people/customs/language Japanese? If so, by titles do you mean use of 'san'/sensei/kun/chan/etc.?

Well, if you've ever watched Blood+ it could work like that...
EDIT:
@Rarikou: For awakening how is it going to work exactly? You brought up Shadows for card invokers so did you have an idea how to put that in yet? Also, you said the Icicle appears at midnight. Do only certain people see it (i.e: experience the dark hour) and if so, when can they?
And at the weather. 75 degrees (if you mean faranheit to celcius) is very nice weather where I'm from :P. So around exactly how hot is the tempurature in Verdana then?

About the weather, though, 75 Farenheit is nicely chilly around here... I guess the average temperature of Verdona was that of a tropical island or something, so it must be quite high.

Our shadows appear once we enter the icicle (the team will make up the name... xD) And they act as one with other shadows. They will do so until we comfront them. That's where the fighting comes in... the shadows show our inner, true selves (duh) ?I think I got those questions.
Here's what I'm imagining: Most of us decide to explore the icicle, and a couple of floors , we meet our first shadow, with will be someone's... (I'll just use me as an example), My shhadow confronts us, and I pass out. That's when Ali, or someone realizes he/ must defend them, and then that's when instinct comes over, and the evoker is used. My shadow beaten, I wake up, confront it, where it turns into my person. Rinse and repeat for everyone else.
Verdona is in fact around 50 miles s-sw of the Asian coast line. Avearge temp. is above 85-100 degrees. I didn't mean to put a 7, but it's 65 degrees, not 75... sry.
Titles like san/ un apply... hope I didn't confuse anyone
... I changed the arcana's on the taken list... but forgot about the profiles....
i think I adressed everything...
EDIT: I relized I should be more creative with my persona, so I changed it. I also noticed noone had scan abilities, so that was another reason for my switch. Sorry for the trouble

Verdona High School
12:00 Pm
Gymnasium
A felt grip around a wooden Kendo sword. NOthing but the open air bewteen two opponets...
"That's right, everyone, there may be a possibly of a tie for first place." One annoucer said. "It all comes down to if Tyler Leseo wins this match. If he does, he and a Miss Shiloh Haywood will be the first people in history to both have a first place... I wonder how that happened."
'Oh great... pressure' Tyler thought to himself, keeping a relaxed grip. He kept his breath calm.
"The referee is taking his place... looks like this party is about to get started..." THe annoucer said.
Cheers rang from all sides of the gymnasium... it was getting pretty exciting... Tyler had to force himself to remain calm.
"Looks like the crown is getting pumped, Jerry-san." One annocer said.
"I can see why." ANother annoucer said.
A whistle pierced the air.
Tyler jumped back, facing his opponet for the first time. He couldn't see his face, due to masks covering booth his and Tyler's face.
His opponet acted first, trying to feel him out. "Basic ver head strike' Tyler thought. However, he's holding back. He plans to feint, more than likely to the right
Tyler advanced, holding his stick to block against the predicted feint. Inctinctivly, He turned toward the left, and struck.
A whistle blowed. "Point!" Cried the refree.
The auidence clapped.
"A stunning prediction but Tyler-kun." One annoucer said. "Three more points to go!"
Tyler returned to his position, and the whistle blowed again.
THis time, Tyler didn't have a chance to react. His opponet nailed him.
That's what I get for being cocky Tyler thought, and focused.
Next round, Tyler sidestepped an actual over head blow. He felt as light as the wind, as he feinted, and struck his target on the back.
More clapping.
Tyler smiled, "He dosen't get it... the basics... the body always betrays someone's movements. If one's waist is more tilted from the right."
Tyler ran, "He'll instinctivly block from the left."
A whistle blowed. "Point!"
"SImply impressive." The annoucer said.
The whistle blowed before Tyler returend to his position. "Crap..."
Tyler ducked, his opponets kendo sword sailing past him.
He sighed in relief, "Leseo School. Two hit thrust." He whispered, and tapped him once, and used centrifugal force to knock the kendo blade from his hand.
Two whistles "Sword removed foricbly. Two points awarded. This match belongs to Tyler Leseo!"
Tyler took off his helm and breathed. "I did it..."
{{How was that?))

I guess I should get my side started? I'll depict a time earlier that day to develop the story a bit. Unless there is something against it.))
Verdona's Main Highway
9:00 PM
Shirou sighed while he walked through the streets of that fateful city he grew to love. Peaceful, with few pedestrians and cars going around at any time of the day, he felt as if he wasn't even on duty that night. Yet the blue uniform he was using reminded him of it everytime he looked down. That was the only downside of his job, he was forced to use the uniform. He wasn't even allowed to drink his soda! Really, the worst it could have befallen upon him.
But he wasn't regretting choosing this job, especially after yesterday, when something unexpected happened: a murder. Shirou gave himself the liberty of reminiscing while he went along "his" highway, or at least "his" in the sense he was assigned for the vigilance of most of it. The shocked faces of his superiors and other colleagues alike was remarkable when the murder case was brought up. The victim was probably someone very important too, or famous, from the comments he heard around town while on duty. Sure, he was expected to know more of it, being a police officer and all (or almost), but for some reason the others wouldn't say much on the subject to him. Probably because he was still a trainee. Curse their prejudice with the younger members of the force...
While on his stroll, he stopped and looked to his left, where stood THE weather station. It was amazing how it stood out, probably because of the considerable unnocupied area on the lots around it. It was the turning point for him, actually. Beyond the highway after that point, it was the duty of another guard, which was far more experienced than him, and Shirou wondered whyever he was given a bigger portion of the highway to survey if there were more experienced personnel in hand. He shrugged it off, and looked again to the station. For some reason, the place had a strange aura to it. Or maybe everyone was still astonished with the sudden change in the weather that happened recently. Before, the island was very warm, but suddenly the weather forecasts were announcing periods of intense cold.
Shaking off the rush of thoughts, he looked at his watch. He was already more into the night than he expected. About time that he should report back, so he rushed the way back to the police station. He planned to use the opportunity to make a survey there about the crime: he felt the need to know the details. And he thought he'd only have peace of mind if he examined the subject more in depth.

Verdona Food Court
8:30 PM
Tyler had returned to his house to change out of his uniform, and was now wearing a blue t-shirt, black slacks, and a lght black overcoat.
Beside him was his uncle, who had dressed likewise, "Let's see... what shall we get you to ceklebrate?"
"There's no need for that." Tyler said, pulling out his wallet, "Save your money... One hamburger please, hold the mustard. I'd also like a strawberry shake." He handed the money to the cashier and sat down.
"I'm really proud, you know. Not many people can win a tornament like that... using a two hit thrust for a finisher was simply genius." His uncle said, and patted Tyler on the back.
"Technacally, I didn't win...I tied." Tyler pointed out, and took a bit out of his food...
"WItch is the only reason they had to hold back the awards... apparently, they didn't make 2 first place trophies."
A chill wind blew.
"It's getting colder." Tyler's uncle said, "It's...strange..."
"I don't mind it, really..." Tyler said, "Hey, isn't your students arriving soon?"
Tyler's Uncle grunted, "... your rigt... well, have fun at work... I guess I have to show amatures how to fence..."
After he left, Tyler sat back down. He had a few hours until it was work time, so maybe he could relax a little.
He took a sip of his sake, and relaxed.

He hasn;t eaten in two days, and he stares at a hotdog stand.
The owner bends down to give a child a hotdog when The light surrounding the area dims.
Traum finds himself laying on a cold floor, a tall pale man with skin as white as falling snow stands in front of him.
He bears a cloak with fire burning at the ends of it.
Spoiler: A better picture of Morpheus
You do me an injustice, keeping me locked up in your dreams.
His voice echos off the walls and in Traum's mind.
We must find others like ourselves, and only then will I stop.
"Other people who have demons in their dreams?"
No, Personas
Traum shook his head, the child grabbed the hotdog and payed.

"Free chocolate?" Briar Shea called to passersby. "Free chocolate and some reading material? No hidden catches, not looking for donations, just handing giving out free stuff."
Some people looked her way but for the most part they passed by her as quickly and as avoiding as possible. Briar stood on a corner of downtown with an armful of sample packets her boss had handed her.
'Circulation numbers were down last month', he'd told the office. 'I say it's about time for advertisement season. Go out there and spread the word, people.'
She'd flipped through the sample paper before she left the Arcane's office and she'd seen they'd thrown in a splash of everything: the whole fortune teller page, the current top five ghost sightings list, half of three columns with notes at the end that read 'TO BE CONTINUED IN THIS MONTH'S ISSUE' (her own column on psychic, mind zapping zombies was included), and half the recipe for the love potion. Not an attractive line up in Briar's opinion but what the heck, if people wouldn't take the packet for the info they'd at least take it for the piece of chocolate they'd attached to each packet. Hopefully. Either way, it didn't matter to Briar. She was still getting paid either way and she wasn't dealing with a whacko interviewee for a topic at the moment.
But damn is it boring. At least whackos can be mildly entertaining once and a while.
Speaking of which, she frowned, remembering she had to come up with a topic for the next issue soon. She'd overheard a few of the brainstormed topics by her colleagues and it sounded like they were mainly focusing on the recent murder. Briar was going to be skipping that one; too many working on that one. Maybe she's do one on the weather: global warming strikes back with a conspiratorial twist sounded bullshit enough. There was bound to be as few whackos she could dig up for that.
Thinking of the weather, she suppressed a shiver and pulled at her leather jacket. How people who lived up in the far northern and southern hemispheres survived in this temperature or below she had no clue. She contented herself with the thought of a cigarette, her nice warm apartment, and the leftover lava cake she had in the freezer. In the meantime, she had a bit longer of bull to spread.
"Free chocolate?"

"Nothing? Anything at all?" Shirou asked, insisting on the point, but his colleague shook his head once again, and he saw it was pointless to keep the cross-examination up. "Alright." Shirou grimaced, then turned around and left the office of his superior. He didn't want to press his luck or anything, interrogating his senior officer, but he saw no reason as to why they would hide the details of a simple murder. Of course, it was the first murder in a long time, yet there should be nothing very wrong with it that they couldn't say. He might even help with solving the case! But no. They didn't want the newcomers flocking to the case in droves, apparently.
Shirou hastened his pace to make his leave from the police station. He quickly changed from his uniform to his usual bomber jacket and jeans, threw the uniform in the corresponding locker, and prepared to leave, not forgetting to insert a coin on the vending machine to get a can of his favorite soda before he left.
Once outside, feeling how chilly it was AND because of his big fiasco in discovering more on what he wanted, he decided to take a detour from his usual route, in hopes of getting home faster. At least on that shrine of loneliness he would be able to be in peace with himself. Peace with himself... that was the real reason he had fled to that city, wasn't it? Yet his whole being begged to differ, Shirou thought as he sipped some of his soda and looked down on the path he was making.
In no time, he had walked half of what he needed to get home, from what he reckoned. He was now reentering the heart of the city, the business district which was the most crowded part of Verdona, yet had very little people compared to his home town in Japan. But that was always a plus. His instable peace of mind was bugged, however, when he heard rather than saw a girl announcing something just ahead. Apparently, she was... giving out free chocolate. Now wouldn't that be nice? He instantly wondered why people seemed to be passing by as if they feared her. Oh wait, there was more. Reading material? Curious. He decided it wouldn't be bad to make an approach. When he did, though, he couldn't help but notice the girl looked either very tired or just bored to death, or both, and she didn't seem to be all that much caring for her outer appearance.
"...Evening." He said once he remembered he should say something. He eyed the samples the girl had in her hand. Oh, samples. I don't believe I ever heard of that maganize, though. Might as well take a look...

Name: Adrastos Delis, Nickname is AD.
Age: 22
Appearence: Hailing from Greece Adrastos loves to wear a Pure Black T-shirt with Greece's flag on the back. He is rather fit too though not to the point were he has bulging muscles. His Blond hair is rather unkempt but is always short as he hates to have anything directly on his face or obstructing his view. He likes wear some dark blue shorts but since the dip in the climate he's been forced to wear some light blue jeans he bought just so he wouldn't be cold. He also wears some rather normal white sneakers.
Weapons/items: Adrastos is quite good with Spears and likewise poles. Though he does not carry any weapons on him he did once pick up a broom to beat up a thug who tried to rob him.
Persona’s name: Hyperion
Persona’s Appearance:
Type of invocation: Large Card. Will eventually be normal Card size when his Links are strong allowing him to fully use Hyperion.
Type: Fire
Arcana: Justice
Bio: Adrastos has been born and raised in Greece but never really had an exact home town to speak of thanks to his parents wanting to explore all of Greece. Thanks to his odd uprising he knows plenty about Greece and it's history. He adores the mythology it has and loves Titans instead of the Gods for some reason. Also thanks to his parents he has a strong sense of justice and was lightly trained in the ways of the ancient Gladiator.
After graduating from High School instead of going to college his Parents let him travel the world instead. Adrastos gladly accepted their offer and spent the next few years of his life wandering about the world. Though for the last year he decided to stay in Verdona because he liked the peace and tropical climate it has. He is quite friendly with the locals and is usually seen just wandering around the island.
Hmm...I like him! Wait what? Man I hope I'm not reading that open spot wrong))
Thank you Delsy for the Awesome Game Over Sig! If you're still here, I still love it!

{{may not post again until later, I start work today...}}
Verdona streets.
Tyler had finished his wonderful strawberry shake, gave the cashier, and had left towards his workplace. At day, he was a Kendo Team member, and a student. At night, he was a bartender for a local juicebar.
How cliche. A man leading two lives. Tyler thought to himself as he was walking...
It was getting darker. For Tyler, that was normal, beacuse work began at 10... and ended at midnight.
another chill wind blew "God... this weather is crazy." He said in a whisper, and continued walking.
There was a woman giving out free chocolates... and there was already a man there. Tyler figured it was promotional thing... but who could resist free chocolates?
Tyler walked over and coughed, "um... good evening." He said to both people.

Briar noticed someone staring at her. People glancing her way was whatever, this kid was staring a bit longer and she was starting to get irritated. Say something or keep walking...
"Evening," he said finally.
When his gaze shifted to the sample packets, Briar smiled with deliberately false cheer and said, "Evening. Care for some free chocolate and reading material?"
To her surprise, it was then another kid walked up to them and repeated the other boy's welcome. Briar turned her attention to the newcomer and said, "Evening to you to. Want a some info and chocolate? I can guarantee you've never read stuff like ours before."

A stronger wind wind blew. "Geez." Tyler said, adjusting his jacket, "It's getting colder and colder lately..."
Tyler realized he might soon be late, so he checked his watch ... 9:56.
"ACK! I'm almost late... stop by the Verdona Juice bar if you guys aren't busy...we'll talk about a subscription then"
WIth that, Tyler husteled in a mad dash towards the juice bar, only a block from the weather station.

The other guy seemed to think more highly of the sample's content than him, though, as he asked how he could subscribe, but didn't have time to elaborate as he ran off to work. Working so late... yeah, it had to be on a bar alright. Juice bar, huh... Shirou considered going for some reason. It wouldn't be much different than staying at his eventless home anyway. But at least there would be a supply of drinks. Before calculating how much he could spend there, though, he figured he should direct himself to the girl again. Remembering the chocolate on the sample, he detached the tiny plastic bad that contained it. "The young man there had a point. It is awfully cold these days. Be careful if you're going to stay around the open streets for longer. And I guess you deserve some of this too if you're working this late." He then broke the chocolate piece he received in half, giving one out to the girl. It looked rather weird to do such a thing, especially because she could take the entire chocolate from one of the samples if she wanted to, but Shirou didn't know whether she could or not, and it was something of impulse, really, just like about half the things he did. Saying no more, he turned around to leave, chewing down his own piece of chocolate after pocketing the sample paper, and then sipping his soda. Now I just got to remember where that bar is... I'm pretty sure I heard of it before... probably because this IS a rather small town in an island and all.

Briar resisted to roll her eyes as the younger of the boys took off. Why's he talking as if I'll actually show up? I'm not a saleswoman. Why should I drag my sorry ass out of my way to talk about a subscription he may or may not take?
As she finished that thought, the first kid finished skimming through the packet. He said, "The young man there had a point. It is awfully cold these days. Be careful if you're going to stay around the open streets for longer. And I guess you deserve some of this too if you're working this late."
Briar took the offered half, surprised. Pretty mature talking kid. Either pretentious or eccentric, and definitely didn't look old enough to be calling anyone a 'young man', let alone giving her advice. She let out a quiet snort and said, "Thanks but I'll be fine. Not exactly Little Match Girl potential here."
Popping the piece of chocolate into her mouth (wow, the boss had gotten the good stuff), she let it melt in her mouth and kept calling out to people. Maybe another half hour or so before she's call it a night.

Vendona High School
Shiloh Haywood learned that, through a confusing set of circumstances, she tied for first place in the school's kendo tournament. To her disappointment, she could not meet with the student who she tied with and the award ceremony was postponed because of the unprecedented tie.
As she walked towards the school's entrance from the girl's locker room, many students who had seen the tournament congratulated her, smiled at her. She wasn't unused to the attention since she was the "new transfer student" and the buzz from that had not completely worn off even after a month. She didn't really have any friends yet since she was trying to catch up with her new classes and so much was on her mind...
Her parents had been missing for two months. They went on business trips together often since they worked for the same firm. They went to Tokyo and, back home in San Fransisco, Shiloh didn't worry at all. Then they vanished without a trace. Shiloh was staying with her aunt, but she could not afford for Shiloh to stay for an indefinite amount of time, so Shiloh decided to stay with her grandmother in Verdona. At least if her parents were found then she wouldn't be too far away. Shiloh stopped crying about a week after she moved in with her grandmother, but she remained withdrawn and quiet when she started to go to school. Shiloh and her parents were incredibly close and so terrible worry constantly clenched inside her chest.
Her worry only went away when she fenced. She was one of the best on the fencing team at her old school. This school only had kendo and there was more to get used to: different rules, different kind of uniform and equipment, two-handed wooden swords instead of one-handed metal swords, and not to mention Japanese terminology. Many people spoke Japanese in Verdona and fortunately Shiloh was learning rather quickly. Despite the new challenges of kendo she did surprisingly well, even outmatching kendo club veterans. Kendo was thrilling and kept her mind off her worries. Her practice led her to tie for first place at her first tournament.
At the school entrance her grandmother greeted her and congratulated her. Shiloh smiled and nodded where appropriate during her grandmother's praises, but she remained silent and inwardly despondent since the adrenaline wore off.
She ate lunch with her grandmother then walked around town on her own. On a whim she bought a crepe from a stand, but then realized that she was still too full from lunch to eat it.
I shouldn't be on my own like this. I'll just waste money.
Just as she started to consider throwing it away she saw a disheveled young man sitting on a bench. She stopped; something was odd. His physical state and expression reminded her of a homeless person, which as far as she knew were very rare in Verdona. A case for a musical instrument--perhaps a cello--was next to him leaning against the bench; obviously his. However, the case was so nice that Shiloh knew he couldn't totally be without money. He certainly didn't seem like a theif.
Sunken, bloodshot eyes stared at something straight across from him. Shiloh followed his line of vision and saw a cheap hotdog stand. Was he hungry? Maybe he was homeless. Or maybe recently broke?
He looked frighteningly thin, though. She glanced down at the dessert in her hand. Gathering her courage, she held out the crepe to the young man.
"Excuse me, sir. Would you like a crepe? There's strawberries in it."

Adrastos had finally finished his usual round of aimlessly walking around the town and was now simply looking for a place to sit down for a little while so he get his bearings straight and take a quick break so he could rest up for the long walk back to his apartment room. He grudgingly had to wear his blue jeans for most of today cold winds were blowing instead of the usual nice and warm breezes.
"Man...What's been happening with the weather around here? It used to be so nice... Sometimes I wonder what the heck is causing this cold streak. Probably some science mumbo jumbo I don't care about..."
Adrastos wound up in a now rather empty part of town thanks to his mumbling and not looking here he was going. A quick look around showed that a few places were still open and had some people inside, though the only one he knew was the Juice Bar he went to during the day whenever he got rather thirsty. Adrastos checked his wallet to make sure he had some cash on him and decided to go inside to get a drink and also to see the guys or gals that have to work there fairly late into the night. Adrastos quietly opened the door and looked around to see a few people still there and very few employees working. He sat down on an empty stool and looked on the menu to see what seemed good for this time of night.
((Hmmm....Crud. I can't think of a name for the drink AD will buy. ))

Juice Bar. 11:30
Tyler yawned, almost falling asleep at the job. There was a record low of customers today, for one odd reason or another. SO today, he was cleaning and recleaning all of the used glasses.
"tonight, except a heavy chill." THe weather woman was saying, "It's going to be a record tonight: 65 degrees."
"Are you serious?" Tyler's manager said, "What is this place, Anartica?"
"Your not joking." Tyler said, finishing a polish on a glas, and poured himself some grape juice.
"What do you think the cause is?"
"Oh, who knows?" Tyler replied, "Maybe I should ask the station for their opinion..."
"Like you could get anything out of them." The manager replied.
"... probably not..." Tyler said, and sipped his grape juice.
Someone had walked through the door, and had sat down. "Thank god, a customer." The manager whispered, "...After you take care of him, do you want to play some Air Hockey?"
'Thou art I...
Tyler looked around, "...what?... anyway, You're speaking to the Verdona Air HOckey CHampion. You are so on."
And I am Thou...
Tyler looked at the customer, "Did he say that?..."
Tyler stood in front of the customer, "Anything I can get for you? Our special Grape juice is pratically flying off the shelves."

He peers at the menu, hearing someone mention grape juice.
"I'll take a glass of that too man."
He leans on the counter, looking at the server.
"Tyler?"
Traum's vision blurs again.
He is one of them.
A voice says in his head.

"Tyler?"
Tyler looked at the man, "Yes, that is my name.... do I know you? Here's your grape juice." Tyler said, laying down the glass.
He sat down and sipped his own drink, "How do you know me?... And why did you just look like you were spacing out.... but whatever. ENjoy."
