video } standing on the cliff face highest fall you'll ever grace

[cloned]

Hey again, Wonderland.

[Kon gives a half wave and a smile. He's been interviewed before, spent his entire life in the public eye up until recently, but this still feels weird. Maybe it's because of the awkwardness of the question he's asking.]

I've got a... probably unusual question. Can anyone else here fly? Specifically, has anyone else here tried flying to get out of here? I mean, it didn't work, obviously. I wasn't even surprised about that. But it was really weird. Like it's not like I ran into a block or anything like that. I just sort of... ended up where I started. And going up I just ended up not moving after a while, even though it felt like I did.

[He shrugs.]

Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else had tried it. Cause man, I do not like it when my flying doesn't work right. It's just wrong.

It sounds like it, if it can do all of that. My powers are more limited.

[cloned]

Yeah? What can you do?

video;

[eatsyourscience]

A few things. I have a Persona, which is part of my soul. Like...a weaponized part of my soul, I guess.

[That's oversimplifying it, but it's the most straightforward way to describe it to someone who's never seen a Persona.]

[cloned]

A... weaponized part of your soul? [What the fuck WHAT THE FUCK.] How does that... work?

video;

[eatsyourscience]

I can show you, if you want.

video;

[cloned]

Sure. If you don't mind. It's something you can see?

video;

[eatsyourscience]

Yeah. [...] It's not as weird as it sounds.

I'd normally show you in person, but I can show you this way too, if you want.

Whatever you prefer. I'm not quite faster than a speeding bullet, but I'm still pretty fast. I can come to you.

video;

[eatsyourscience]

That's a lot faster than me. If you meet me at the front entrance, I can show you what I can do out in the garden.

video -> action;

I'll be right there.

[And he's already outside on the roof, so it's really just a matter of not fighting gravity quite as much as he comes down for a landing.]

action;

[eatsyourscience]

[He definitely beats Souji there, but Souji doesn't make him wait long. He was outside already, so it was just a matter of getting over to the entrance. He gestures for Kon to follow him.]

I can demonstrate on that tree over there.

[He points. It's not far at all.]

action;

[cloned]

Sure, man. [Kon bounces on his feet and nods.] Let's see what you can do.

action;

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji leads him over a bit closer to the tree. He can't be too far away or it won't work.

What looks like a blue playing card appears in the air in front of him and he grabs it, summoning Izanagi. The Persona hovers for a moment, then drops a fire spell on the tree, making it go up in flames on the quick-fast. Souji watches it for a second, then summons again and puts the fire out with an ice spell.

Then, with the tree half-frozen behind him, he looks over at Kon to see what he thinks.]

action;

[cloned]

[Kon is just staring, wide-eyed. He's seen a lot of weird powers. Just fire or ice isn't that exciting. But... summoning a crazy sword dude?]

Holy shit.

action;

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji can't help being a little pleased at that reaction.]

They can do a few more things. Healing is the one I use most here.

action;

[cloned]

Healing yourself or other people or both?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

Both. I've got a spell that will target just one person, and another will hit everyone around me.

action;

[cloned]

Wow, that's really useful. Are there any, like, limits?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

Mm. It uses up my spirit, and I only have so much of that. Once I run out, it takes time to get it back.

action;

[cloned]

But you don't, like, die? [Spirit's a keeping you alive thing, right? If it's even real. Which apparently it is if you can freaking summon a magic giant.]

action;

[eatsyourscience]

No. I only die if I run out of life, which happens with certain attacks, and if I'm injured.

action;

[cloned]

...like in a video game?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

...Yes. Just like that.

[According to one person he's spoken to, he is from a video game. Which puts a lot of things into perspective for him.]

action;

[cloned]

Huh. [Weird.] Well... cool, I guess?

action;

[eatsyourscience]

It's what I've got to work with. [A shrug.] Anyway, that's what some of my personas can do. [...] The one you saw was Izanagi.
