[Closed] A Gathering of Thieves

Who: The Phantom Thieves and their Shinki
What: Information Sharing.
Where: The Far Shore, the Park
When: July 26th, Late Afternoon
Summary: 3 new gods arrive to find that 2 of their closest friends are dead, and they are responsible
for two other people as well. A talk is needed.

Warnings: Major Persona 5 Spoilers in comments, also probably language.



[Arriving here with little warning had been jarring enough, but when the Phantom Thieves realized that they weren't alone, and that two of their number had no memories, it was time to confer somewhere. Temples and the like had felt a little raw, and not wanting to stray too far from the Far Shore until they had their bearings, the group had gathered in the park. Akira, Ann, Futaba, Makoto, and Ryuji, along with the shinki that had unwittingly become part of their circle, all standing around in a small clearing, talking. It should've been a positive occasion, but there was no denying the shroud that hung over the group. There was a lot to talk about, and things that needed to be agreed upon.

The question was...how to even start?]

Isn't that kind of the same thing?

[Futaba knew just enough mythology to think that, at least.]

Wouldn't it? I mean, I want to go. Just. Not by myself.

[Makoto, there you go. An excuse.]
herecomethebuffs: (Hum..)

[Futaba has never needed to know this stuff!]

Yeah. It'll be...nice. I hope. Maybe.

It can't be any more awkward than our team meeting was anyway.

I don't know!

[Futaba groaned because she wanted an answer.]

We've been thrust into their lives right. And we know them. But we can't tell them we know them. It's like...it must be so strange to them, knowing we just...act like we're supposed to be friends but to them we're strangers.

[She let out a long breath, leaning back on her heels again.]

It's not fair. To them or to us.

Well in my defense I've never really had to hide my emotions! [Benefits of being a shut-in?]

But yeah. It's...it's really hard to be around Akira I don't really know how you are managing it...

[Every time she looked at him she was simultaneously sad and angry.]
