[They can talk about Jade later given that the train's an asshole and while he's ready to fly and tackle if he has to, it looks like her ribbons...are...taking care of it instead?]
Uh. What are they doing? [He's also backing off of the train to gain some distance and gauge where it's trying to go.]
--oh. [He's surprised more than anything and immediately kind of feels bad for being surprised, instead focusing on the ribbons and the train that's still thrashing even at a slower speed. The hammer and rifle damage seems to be getting to it.]
That's actually pretty cool. [There's a slight smile.] It's like whoever gave you your magical girl thing thought of everything.
Three groups of Persona users. Like a first generation, second gen and third gen thing? That's even crazier. The only people I really know who use those things are you, those two, and Yu Narukami.
That's maybe a good thing they aren't connected though. I can't guess how you'd get back out of a TV if something went wrong. But it's possible there's not a regained ability yet. I'm definitely missing some of my own still and there are some things I think I have back that I'm not about to test. It gets complicated...so I can't say I blame you too much.
Well, yes, three generations. There may be more. We've begun to realize there are at least four groups. Yu and I share one, Yusuke is part of another, and Elizabeth still another. With one that involves someone you haven't met.
I'm sorry if I am being vague, it's just not my place to tell anyone about people's powers. Even if you are one of my better friends.
Oh man, no, don't apologize! Sorry...it's not even really my business to be asking. [And he remembers a conversation he had with someone at the beginning of this month.] That was on me. I just think this kind of thing is interesting. There are people here from my memories that we knew back in our universe, but they obviously have memories Dave, Rose and I don't. So I guess I just ask without thinking sometimes.
Thanks for the optimism. [But there's a laugh because yeah, sure, this may definitely blow up and once they're on the ground he crouches a little for Karkat to slide off of his back before he deploys what looks like a pair of robot gauntlets.]
Worst case scenario, how do you think this is going to blow up?
[ he looks around at their immediate area. buildings, not that many people walking by. ]
Something not too big, probably, since otherwise I am pretty sure we would have seen something else exploding in the distance. If we're stupid enough to try this then I know other people would be too.
Given how many people seem to be against self-preservation when it comes to stuff like this? That is probably accurate. Here, back up a little?
[And out of his sylladex comes the sassacrusher as big as ever. The gauntlets are on and John wiggles his fingers as two ghost-hands appear in front of him also wiggling their fingers. He moves his arms a little, ghost-hands following before he works on picking up the hammer.] Be on the lookout for cracks and stuff. I do not want to accidentally wreck the city by doing this.
Have you looked at the plants lately? They actually seem to be fine which is even freakier.
[...ah. There's a crooked smile because "magic cards" are a concept he's familiar with and also he's aware of the magical girl genre. After this point in his life, things make sense to him at face value.]
Clever. As long as the cards keep you safe and don't have a time limit I think it's cool you're using them to get out there and figure stuff out. But that's why I flew up, too. It seems endless though which is even crazier. I could go higher but I wonder if we should.
But we were learning about plants in school and the...um, what's it called? Photo-something? Don't they need sun?
[Is it even still possible to potentially get sunburnt out while this dome thing is here? Not that this is a huge concern in winter but. Still. Sakura can't help but wonder on all this.]
I'm....trying. Figuring them out. I'm not sure how many cards there are all up yet, but. There's got to be a limit to how high this goes. If it is like a dome sort of shape. Right?
Photosynthesis. Which yes, that is definitely a thing because they take the sun and make their own food and chemicals and stuff. But then again, maybe science does not apply here. Think about the chocobos.
[There's a nod.] ...if you want, we can go together to see where the top caps out. I can spot you just in case things get a little dangerous up there.
Dude. [He's trying not to laugh at least.] No, it's not annoying, I do not think I can actually smite people, I'm only a minor god I think so I can only do stuff with my powers and like fly and stuff, annnnd wind.
Yeah? Oh, yeah. I don't actually know what it's called, I can't remember the name for it. But from what I am getting I alchemized a ton of different hammers. I got another one not that long ago either that wasn't the one you've seen. They obviously get stronger depending on what's used to create them but...yeah. Jack kind of deserved it.
[ Minato squints at the screen, trying to recall the afterimage of that hammer in question. He has no idea what alchemizing hammers means, but it did look like a mishmash of... somethings. ]
Is Jack the... [ wolf? dog? ] ...who you were fighting? What'd he do?
Yeah. He didn't always look like that, I think, but that is a whole other mess. Name's Jack Noir, and he's sort of responsible for a lot of things including murdering my dad, murdering some of my friends, and the destruction of a bunch of stuff.
Joke's on them since you are clearly the superior model. [A light joke, but he follows after her off of the train to glance at the terminal around them.]
...why would this be down here? I mean besides the obvious. Why would the train bring us here? [But he pauses as he pats down his pockets.] Shit, hold on, I left my flashlight on the train. [And he's boarding again to go grab it.]
[She joked back, looking around the terminal slowly. When he ducks back on the train she hesitates before stepping back into it, just standing in the doorway...specifically in the door jam, to hopefully stop it from slamming shut and taking them on another wild ride.]
[There's a nod and he lingers back to stay in front of Luna and Dog, hand raised in the air like he's going to grab something.]
It's not the wind. [He knows that much, but the rest is a little jarring.] Stay behind me, but shine your flashlight up left if you can. [The movement's growing louder as if something's approaching them, but it's better to know than be surprised.]
[Luna would not admit to being scared, but she was completely scared. And honestly grateful when he stepped in front of her, even if her dog immediately moved to stand next to him, crouching low.]
Right.
[She turned her flashlight towards the left tunnel, panning it over the walls. Whatever was coming was getting louder and closer...]
[ It gives off a funny vibe like one would associate with ghosts? Matt's mouth twitches as he contemplates his options. He's no expert on this subject. His entire relationship with traditional horror and bumps in the night is an odd one what with no way of seeing scary images and always living in dark. ]
I don't know much of ghosts. It might leave that impression.
I mean I know she used to be dead but then came back to life somehow, but that happened to a lot of us, too. [An echoing shrug. TR and HS rival for weird af canons, basically.] Obviously I want to come with though! I have never really talked to a ghost in this lifetime...except for all of those weird ones that keep floating around that showed up in October. Pick a direction and I'll follow your lead.

[ mimori has given up on trying to guess how this outfit works and that is very clear by the confusion in her voice.
it then hits her that she has never actually met john in normal circumstances. ]
I can't actually walk on my own, I use a wheelchair. I guess the outfit is a more... proactive wheelchair...?

That's a pretty casual way to go looking at dying, y'know. At least she came back, though...
