fortuneprince | 4th Case - [Action]/[Voice]

[The sound of clicking is heard, it's more than likely that Naoto has no idea her mic is on right now. The clicking stops for a moment before a snap as if something metal just shut.

Right now, Naoto is loading bullets into her gun but unless you know what loading a revolver sounds like, you're not going to know what it is. She starts to speak, obviously not to any one who may be listening through the journal] Senpai, Rise-san? I'm leaving to go train, I will be back shortly.

[She closes her journal, cutting the audio off]

[Action]

[Unless you're Rise or Souji, who obviously saw her leave the room, you may see Naoto walking towards the battle dome in the early afternoon. You may have even heard that she was heading there if you caught her voice clip before she shut it off.

Naoto will be there for most of the day, kicking shadow hologram ass and naturally some of the harder to beat ones from her world. She's pretty determined to get even stronger so, she needs the challenge.

If you come across her room in the battle dome, be sure to make your presence known so she doesn't shoot you by accident, thinking you're a shadow]

[Since Naoto has no idea Yuri is watching her from the door, she continues to shoot the shadows like it's nothing. Okay, her skills with her gun haven't changed so it's time to see if her persona ability has.

She lets the shadows gather around her for a moment before holding the gun up at a glowing card] Come, Yamato-Takeru!

[She shoots it and the card shatters only to have her persona appear in front of her. It jumps up and quickly comes back down to the ground, only to show it had cut all the shadow holograms in half in less than a second. Moments after her persona disappears, Naoto collapses onto her knees, panting. That attack took a lot of her energy]

[And that right there was the second time he's seen any kind of summoning of any sort. He really can't help but stare when he sees that going on -- it's just ... different. And pretty awesome, really.

... When he sees Naoto fall to her knees, though, he makes his way into the room.]

Hey! You all right there?

[Once she hears Yuri, she jumps a little. She wasn't really expecting anyone to come in so in an attempt to show she's fine she tries to stand up] Y-Yes, I'm fi--

[But her legs give out on her and she falls back to her knees, giving a slight groan when she hits the ground. She really is fine, just using that attack wore her out for the time being] Damn...

That doesn't really count as "fine", you know.

[But whatever. It might just be that she's tired out, so he's not about to make a big deal of it.

Once he's close enough, he'll hold out his hand, in case she wants some help standing. ... Not like he'll be insulted if she doesn't, but he figures he might as well offer, at least.]

I know. I'm sorry you have to see me in such a weak state...

[She stares at the ground, a bit embarrassed that just one attack her persona performed was able to tire her out so quickly.

But her attention turns to Yuri when she sees his hand. Since he's nice enough to offer, she grabs his hand and pulls herself up.] Thank you.

[Once she's up, he lets go and moves his hand away, shrugging.]

It's not like I can blame you for ending up that way, after that ... thing you did. Whatever it was.

[Oh right, he saw that didn't he]

Normally I'm capable of fighting with my persona much longer than this. It's strange that a single attack was able to put me on my knees.

Actually, it's not as strange as you think. Most people here have the same type of problem.

Really? Is this problem caused by the Malnosso?

Yeah. It's the barrier that causes it, if I'm remembering right.

I had no idea the barrier was able to weaken us so drastically. [Well damn, this isn't good. At this rate it's going to take a while for her to return to how she was before]

Did the same happen to you?

Yeah. [He glances down at the gold bracelet on his wrist for a moment before sighing a little.] It's annoying, but at the same time, it makes dealing with the local psychos a little easier.

[She follows his gaze for a moment, staring at the bracelet curiously then moves her eyes back up]

The local psychos?

Yeah, your average "doesn't play nice with others" types. It's not like we're tripping over them here or anything, but there's still a few roaming around.

[~~LIKE ZAGI? pftt~~ She sighs a bit]

It seems that no matter where you go, there are always people like that around.

[~~Don't say his name -- you may end up summoning him from beyond the veil of space and time~~ :( Shruggin' a bit at that.]

No kidding. You'd think they'd back off a little, or focus on getting back at the Malnosso, but I guess they'd rather take things out on everyone else, instead.

[~~You mean he's like Voldemort?! Oh shi--~~ ]

Since they're unable to come in contact with the Malnosso personally, we're the only targets available for them.

Well ... [... there are the drafts -- he personally saw many Malnosso scientists and their families, in fact -- but ... not exactly easy to get to them, otherwise. ... Nor does he really want to talk about the drafts -- he's still extremely unsure how to feel after going through one.] ... Yeah, I guess. It's either us or whatever lives in the forests out here, anyway.

[She looks at him curiously then nods]

Unfortunately that seems to be the case. [She hesitates before opening her mouth to speak again] Yuri-san, may I ask you something?

[He glances over at her.]

Yeah, go ahead.

If it's all right, will you fight against me?

[It is a bit risky to ask someone who's probably 10 times stronger than her and she easily collapses after one attack, but she's determined to get stronger, by any means necessary]

Huh? ... You don't mean now, do you?

I would like to fight against someone as soon as possible. Now would be fine, if you have the time that is.

I do, but are you sure that's really a good idea right now? I don't exactly go easy on anyone.

[She hesitates for a moment] I need to become stronger than I am now. It's fine if you don't go easy on me, I need the challenge.
