Fifty-Ninth Keychain - [Voice]

[perplexme]

Okay...since Axel seems to think it's a bad idea to try and teach the cat to ice skate, let me ask all of you a question. A friend and I are thinking about starting a business. It's something really good, promise.

Think about this. You have an important item but suddenly you can't find it. You think it might have even been stolen. So who would you call? The police, sure, but what about detectives?

[The camera's soon going to get a view of the front cover of a detective novel he picked up from the library.]

Even if it's not something a lot of people would use, I bet at least one person could use a few detectives around here, so I'm volunteering myself and Naoto Shirogane. Need a mystery to be solved? Call us. We all know weird stuff happens around here all the time...just look at last week.

[And with that being said, he's going to wander through KH house to see if Axel's home. He's had a few discussions with the older boy involving another certain bff and a certain redhead replica. And so there's a few minutes' pause before the next bit filters through.]

[Filtered to Luke]

Hey. Axel and I want to talk to you at Fourteen. Come over.

[perplexme]

Right, I know. What was her role on the team?

[perplexme]

Doesn't feel like it. They actually always are.

[personafalsify]

... Do you realize you sound crazy?

[fortuneprince]

I suppose you could call her our support. She was able to track shadows and tell us their weaknesses. Her persona also allowed her to help us navigate through different areas.

[perplexme]

No. [Whether he means no he doesn't realize it or no he's not, he doesn't specify.]

[perplexme]

Really? [And now he actually sounds a little more interested.] I didn't realize your personas could do different tasks like that.

[fortuneprince]

Yes. Each of our personas are unique. They each harbor their own special qualities and master in skills others don't. For example, my own persona, Yamato-Takeru, is one that strongest when handling light and dark based spells. It is also much faster than most persona.

[knightofratatosk]

Actually, I just sort of left it where it was, except for the stuff in the house...

[perplexme]

So that kind of puts you at an advantage. Your whole team, I mean, because then you can plan a strategy around those skills...that's amazing.

[perplexme]

...maybe it'll disappear on its own anyway.

[knightofratatosk]

Or maybe some of the animals will eat it.

[perplexme]

As long as it's not poisoned, sure.

[personafalsify]

Well, you do. And you probably are.

[perplexme]

Then I guess we don't have anything left to discuss, huh?

[personafalsify]

Guess not.

[fortuneprince]

Isn't it? Before I actually fought with my persona, I never imagined that we would be capable of doing that.

[perplexme]

So tell me how a person actually finds out if they have a persona.

[knightofratatosk]

I don't think it was poisoned... I mean, I tasted some of it just to make sure it really was bologna and not something else.

[perplexme]

Then I guess we're okay.

[fortuneprince]

Someone may only acquire a persona when they have accepted their shadow inside the TV world. It's only then can their shadow manifest into something they can control and the persona will show itself to it's master.

[perplexme]

So you have to go into the TV world no matter what. How do you accept it...like..."Hey, Shadow. We're cool."?

[fortuneprince]

[She chuckles] Not exactly. You have to truly accept yourself, not just say what it wants to hear.

[perplexme]

So you had to tell yours that you accepted being a girl.

[fortuneprince]

I did. It... wasn't easy.

[perplexme]

I figured. But...so...do you have to keep accepting your true self in order to keep your persona around?
