Leila cursed under her breath, looking towards the group before noticing more Shadows appearing. "You've got to be kidding me!" She turned towards Holden and gently grabbed his arm that held his Evoker. "Holden, we have to deal with the main Shadow. I have a feeling that's what bringing all of these lower leveled Shadows." Leila released Holden's arm and stepped away from him, keeping a tight grip on her Evoker. "I need to summon Lucia." Turning her head, she saw a Shadow quickly approaching her. She quickly moved away from Holden to avoid the Shadow's attack. Damn it. Having no weapon, she wasn't sure how to defend herself, and even more with Lucia's lack of battle orientation. From the corner of her eyes, she saw more Shadows approaching her. Terri swung her sword sideways, striking one Shadow down as more came near her. She narrowed her eyes as she struck another Shadow, bring her Evoker to her temple. "Hariti!" Pulling the trigger, her Persona appeared before her and raised its yellow pouch, attacking each of the Shadows that surrounded her with Mabufu. They quickly vanished as she turned her attention towards the rest of the Shadows. At this rate, this might take us the whole night. OOC: Something I haven't said is leveling up. At this point, I don't mind if your Persona uses an attack that isn't on the list that was given in the your OC form. Like with Terri, Hariti didn't have Mabufu. We're going with the idea that the group goes to Tartarus multiple times a week to level up, regardless of the time skips. So all of you should at least be below level 25 but above level 15.
Leila picked up her pace and walked a little ahead of the group. She turned her attention towards the monorail as she eyes narrowed, hearing Hattori's comment about an ambush. That's not likely...is it? She reached for her Evoker and raised it before pointing it to her temple. Opening her mouth to say her Perona's name, she stopped herself as she lowered the Evoker a little away from her head, hearing multiple growls and snarls approaching the group. Turning her head, Leila saw multiple Shadows coming towards her and the others. "We're under attack!" Terri tightened her grip on her sword as she kept her Evoker in her other hand. She never thought they'd end up being attacked, and when she saw the Shadows, she cursed under her breath and spun around, seeing more Shadows approaching the group from behind. OOC: Shadows that are attacking the group.
To be honest, I'm not as fond of the way I did the male perspective of this. I don't like it as much, it's shorter and it feels more depressing than compared to the female perspective. I've thought of this for months, but I finally did it because I was bored and in the mood to write. I'm not expecting people to be in love with it, but I hope it's at least somewhat good to someone. >>
Leila sighed lowly and looked over her shoulder to see the others following. "Well...I felt the Shadow by the monorails but something didn't seem right," she said, just loud enough for those that were behind her and Holden to hear. "I felt the presence of a human inside the monorails. Either that's Haruka or someone else. I'm not quite sure since I didn't have enough time to see who the person was. But there was also something else. Before you guys head in, I'll scan the area once more just to be sure about all of this." Leila picked up her pace a little as she saw the group's destination approaching. "I want all of you to be careful."
Leila opened her mouth to speak but quickly dismissed Lucia when Holden walked out. "Holden, wait!" she shouted, but groaned lowly when he was already out the door. "Come on everyone. I'll explain everything when we get there." Expecting the others to follow, Leila ran out of the Command Room and followed after Holden. Once she caught up to him, she lightly grabbed his arm and tugging gently at it before letting go of him. "Why'd you just walk out? I wasn't done talking." Terri tilted her head and slowly rose to her feet when Holden left, looking back at Leila as she wondered if she'd follow after him. Her lips parted as she thought of asking the question, but Leila's actions already gave the girl an answer. Brushing her hand against her Evoker, Terri looked down at the gun-like object before quickly following after Leila.
OOC: Okay, seeing as how I literally have little to no patience, we're time skipping. May 22, 2020, Friday. Full moon. Everyone must be up in the Command Room. Currently the Dark Hour. BIC: Leila's eyes were closed while her head was down as she stood inside Lucia. Her Persona stood in a large space in the Command Room, searching for the Shadow the group was warned about. Leila's eyes slowly opened as she raised her head. "I found it," she quietly said, her voice slightly echoing from being inside Lucia. She lowered her head once more and tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowing as she found the location it was in. "It's by the monorails. Something seems off though."
"I'd want you to stop completely," she muttered lowly, sighing lowly at Holden's attitude. She tilted her head slightly and lowered her eyes down at the ground, raising her hand to rub the back of her head. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out as she felt Holden's lips gently peck her cheek. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she slowly looked back at Holden, watching him leave. "You're welcome," she murmured, slowly turning away towards the monitor in the room. She tilted her head slightly and lightly rubbed her fingers against the cheek Holden had kissed. OOC: So, everyone alright with a time skip?
This obsession reminds me of this dude I used to talk to in high school. He was obsessed with Gurren Lagann too.
Quoting Gurren Lagann or whatever that's from?
"You do what?!" Leila nearly yelled but held the urge back, not wanting to scare the others into thinking they were fighting. She growled lowly as she lowered her head slightly, closing her eyes and raising her hands to rub her temples. Sighing loudly, she raised her head and opened her eyes. "Why do you-" Seeing Holden lean in, Leila's eyes grew wide as she leaned back a little, staring into the boy's eyes. "Uh..." Her eyes fluttered, quickly turning her head away as she felt her cheeks flush. "Why wouldn't I be?" Why am I nervous again? Inhaling deeply, Leila slouched her shoulders slightly as she looked over at Holden, slowly turning her head to face him. "If this is literally how you pass the time every single day, please stop. I don't think I can handle losing you, Holden."
Leila quickly reached for Holden's arms, pulling his hands out of his pockets as she turned them towards him. "What happened?" she asked once more, pulling the cuffs of his jacket up a little. She lowered her gaze back down to his hands and frowned slightly, squeezing his arms lightly as she slowly slid her hands to his forearms. "Did you get into a fight?"
Terri slowly rose to her feet and walked out of the command room, slowly glancing towards Holden before walking out. Surprised to know she wants him to stay in there with her. Heading down to the third floor, she went straight for her room. Leila took a couple steps forward as she watched everyone leave the Command Room. Once everyone was out, she quickly turned towards Holden and lowered her arms down to her sides, taking a couple step more steps towards Holden. "What happened to you?!" Her brows furrowed as she clenched her hands into fists, looking up and down at Holden.
Leila nodded her head in response to Holden's question. "Everyone can leave now if they'd like." She smiled at the group but slowly turned her attention towards Holden. "Except, I want Holden to stay." She stepped away from the chair she stood in front of and walked over towards the large screen in the room. She turned around and waited for the everyone else to leave.
"It's not that easy," Leila muttered as she slowly stood up. "We're going to be fighting something outside of Tartarus. From what Ms. Kirigo told me, it'll be a very large Shadow. It'll be much more powerful than any other Shadow you've faced inside of Tartarus. The reason all of you need to be prepared. Each full moon, we're going to be fighting a powerful Shadow."
"It can really depend, actually. Someone can either be born with it or they can develop it along the way. It can also forced into a person, but that's something rather complicated that I'm not very familiar with," Leila muttered, crossing her arms around her stomach as she returned her attention towards the group. "There's not much else to talk about. The only other thing there is is the full moon that is just days away. I want all of you to be prepared for it. It won't be such an easy task."
Yeah. Fixed it. Sorry about that. <<;
Oh. I thought in the bio you mentioned something about her being picked on a lot but alright. @-@ I guess I got confused. Sorry about that.
;__; Bad disappearing! You're supposed to be active!
Leila smiled at Vincent's comment and looked at the others that said their own thoughts. "Well, there might be a time where we'll run into a person with the potential and not want to join SEES. I mean, hearing that there's a different time period and knowing monsters really exist can be a little overwhelming for some people." Sighing lowly, she closed her eyes once more and rubbed her forehead. "Whether the girl is a liability or not, it'll simply be her choice whether she wants to join. We won't force her into this." "She seemed full of energy," Terri quietly spoke, moving slightly forward from where she was sitting. "Or at least a bit of energy. What can cause someone to have the potential?"
Leila looked at Hattori and then at Holden when each of them spoke, quickly looking away after Holden did. She closed the second suitcase and set it off to the side, sitting back down on the chair, crossing her legs and arms. "She won't be coming. She doesn't even know of the Dark Hour, Tartarus, any of this. I was informed that she stays with Officer Kurosawa. And she apparently told him about the Dark Hour. From what it seems, she has experienced it. If the Shadows haven't preyed on her yet, then it means she has the potential to become a Persona-user." She sat back against the chair and breathed in deeply. "I wanted you all to know of the possibility of another joining our group."
