"Roy, the hell are you doing?"

"Watching the chaos."

"What chaos- Oh you mean that girl who's been speaking in wingdings or some shit?"

"Yeah."

"Do you even know what the hell is going on?"

"Not in the slightest!"

Roy chuckled wearily at Yukari's assessment.

"Pretty sure 'Calm before the storm' applies to this entire dorm on a more regular basis than it should..." he took another sip of his soda, nodding in agreement to her comment about keeping her mind busy. "Usually have the opposite problem with my brain, getting it to shut off can be hell when I'm trying to sleep."

At her question about the 'spell', Roy initially froze. Not because he didn't want to answer, but because it took a good ten seconds of thought and probably amusing to watch facial expressions before he figured out what the hell she was talking about.

"Y'know." He looked and sounded uneasy, because he genuinely didn't want to talk about this. "If anyone else asked me that, I'd just act like I'd repressed that operation." Another sip. "And I kinda have. But to answer your question... Well. Getting hung up on details helps, especially when its 'Wait why does taking a shower sound wrong' and then realizing you're being drenched in blood because it's the Dark Hour. So y'know." Yet another sip. "I don't think you can blame me for screaming like I was being murdered. Or wanting to never think about that operation beyond 'yeah that happened' and moving on."

"Oh, cool. I'm done too, though I think we both know that this is the calm before the storm." Finals were just over the horizon, after all--and in spite of how she was more studious than most of her classmates, that didn't mean she enjoyed enduring the week of hardcore studying, much less the week of exams that followed. It was a grueling endeavor no matter how she looked at it. Add how she was going to have to carry Junpei, kicking and screaming, through those study sessions and... well, she was glad Mitsuru and Akihiko would be present to help wrangle the Magician. Speaking of wrangling--the mention of her reading earned a weak chuckle. "No, it's just--something to flip through to keep my mind busy, y'know?"

She could just leave it there--she should just leave it there. That would give Roy the chance to not ask what had her so troubled, to keep the walls she had built so carefully and painstakingly intact. However, who else could she even breathe the idea of what weighed on her mind to? Was there anyone she could trust with the, ah, delicate subject matter? Besides, considering how gentlemanly Roy was in the garish nightmare of the love hotel... hadn't he earned a little trust? A furtive glance to ensure they were alone and Yukari awkwardly cleared her throat.

"...hey, Roy?" A deep breath and the Lovers just--went for it. "What snapped you out of it? The... spell that Shadow had over everyone."

[ @worldscrossroads liked for a starter! ]

"So whose idea was this agian?" Evelyn asked, glancing over at her brother as the two of them strode down the sidewalk towards Iwatodai Station. "Because I kinda don't remember. At all."

Roy gave her an odd, slightly concerned look. "Yours. It was yours, Eve. You insisted on-"

Unfortunately, turning your head to remark on your sibling's memory failing completely tends not to be the best idea. Mainly because it meant Roy didn't see someone else who he bumped into... well. More like crashed into. The curse of being tall, really.

"Oh jeez, sorry! You okay?"

[astralterminus]

Heck it, we Starter Call.

Time for weird choices late at night, leave a like on this post and if I'm following you back I'll write a starter after I get some sleep.

"Finished for the evening, actually." he replied, popping a few coins into the machine and tapping a button. Roy made a quick flourish out of snatching the Dr. Salt Neo he got before standing up and facing Yukari. "I can only review my notes from Ekoda's class for so long before my eyes start to glaze over."

He cracked open the soda in his hand and took a drink, his thoughts having turned into an aimless mass of cats wandering about. The recent operation wasn't even among them, he'd said it never happened and he was committing to that... even if it wasn't entirely on purpose at the moment.

"What about you?" The question was phrased casually, since well. It wasn't the dark hour and exams were coming up soon. He did glance at the magazine in her hands, though. "You on break, or is that required reading I don't know about?"

Ordinarily, Yukari would have either settled into her room for the evening or she would have gone out to run errands. After what happened in the love hotel, though? While only partly unbuttoning her blouse was all the further she went, her mind wouldn't stop racing with what could have happened if Roy hadn't snapped out of it while he was in the shower. Not being able to control what happened... it wasn't a thought she wanted to be alone with, but she also wasn't willing to be open about exactly what was bothering her.

So she sat and waited... and she didn't want to wait long for someone to join her.

"Mm?" Looking up from the fashion magazine she was idly thumbing through, the sight of the Wildcard had her looking a little uncertain. Of all the people that could have shown up--no, it wasn't fair that she was holding those negative feelings against him. Roy had ultimately been a gentleman. Still, that lingering awkwardness tinged her smile, diminishing its shine.

"Oh, y'know... fine." Liar. Yukari quickly tried to divert the conversation elsewhere. "Taking a break from studying?"

[yukcri started following you]

The tune of a song his sister got stuck in his head was being lightly hummed as Roy exited his room, striding down the hall towards the stairs. A familiar shade of pink at the short table by the vending machine caught his eye.

"Oh, hey Takeba." Roy waved as he swung around to look at the options in the machine. They hadn't changed in months, but that didn't stop the redhead's cravings for fizzy drinks. "How's it going?"

[RULES AND OCS]

[astralterminus]

Astral Terminus - indie & selective Persona 3 OC RP Side-Blog. Run by Mags (34/MST), who kinda just tries his best. OC(s) are the Cornell Siblings, Roy & Evelyn. Links to their bios + rules under the read more below.

Icons used for both OCs are an ancient menagerie of various characters(and some original art of the OCs) listed on their profiles.

[CHARACTER PROFILES] === Roy Cornell === == Evelyn Cornell ==

Now that that's done, let's just knock the rules out real quick-

ONE: If you can't guess what the 'indie' and 'selective' parts of the above text means, I dunno what to tell you. No offense to anyone who wants to RP, but I'm not gonna follow everyone back... and I'd have to follow via my main blog(themagnusignis) anyways since this is a sub-blog.

TWO: Leave the OOC drama way the hell away from me. I'm here to vibe and have a good time, and I'd like to make sure whoever I'm interacting with is also having a good time so I'll hold myself to this one.

THREE: Steal my OCs at your own peril. I've put YEARS of time into these, and I'll slap the stupid out of thieves. Related; AI slop can go burn.

FOUR: If you don't like OCs, just. Don't interact with me then? It's not a hard concept y'know. You can just close the door and walk away.

FIVE: It's multiship friendly here, but I don't ship willy nilly. Work it out via RP, cuz character chemistry is DELICIOUS AND GOOD.

SIX: Gonna have to hard pass on sexual content - Not that I'm a prude, it's just not to my interest with these characters. To say nothing of the fact they both have an age range(depending on timeline things) where they're minors so... yeah no™.

SEVEN: Please at least TRY to read the profiles on the muses before interacting? I don't expect people to out of the blue know who my OCs are, and it feels like at least a common courtesy... plus then you can get a decent idea of what kinda nonsense RP you might be getting caught up in.

EIGHT: More to come as I feel are needed, but probably not often.
