bopdog111: Jiyū under the name Hangyaku was born.
Ulrich362: True, and with him and Ann added to the team Kamoshida's treasure is as good as theirs.
bopdog111: They first gotta secure an inflitration route, and enlist Ann to what they have to do first.
Ulrich362: True, and Akira has a few other things to take care of.
bopdog111: Plus what Jiyū seen in Kamoshida's castle is having thoughts of the Twin Wardens like that.
Ulrich362: Well it is somewhat understandable. So... shall we Bopdog?
bopdog111: We shall indeed.
Disclaimer: We don't own Persona but we own any OCs.
4/16: Saturday
It was the day after Ann awoke to her Persona Carmen and Akira walked down to see Jiyū and Sojiro getting the shop ready.
"Sakura-san, I'm really sorry again about the other day." Akira apologized.
"*sigh* Jiyū told me it's about Morgana so don't worry about it. Though don't let that happen again without letting me know what's going on again." Sojiro warned him.
"I won't, you have my word." Akira promised before pausing. "Um... maybe sometime I could help out to make up for it?"
"You want to help around the shop?" Jiyū asked him.
"Yeah, it's the least I can do since you're letting me stay here." Akira pointed out.
"Well alright, I suppose you'll be on good behavior if you do something around the shop." Sojiro told him before saying, "But we'll talk about it after your day of school get going already."
"I'm going." Akira mentioned walking out only to send a text to Jiyū as he did.
AKIRA: Do you have any free time coming up?
Jiyū replied on his phone.
JIYŪ: I have some time this afternoon.
AKIRA: Maybe you could invite them to see a movie? I think I'm going to talk with that doctor and see if there's anything that might help us in the castle.
JIYŪ: Okay, Akira-oniichan.
AKIRA: I'll see you later Jiyū.
With that he put his phone away and headed to the subway. Jiyū meanwhile put his phone up to finish cleaning up, "Hey Sakura-Sensei?"
"Yeah?" Sojiro asked.
"You remember Caroline, and Justine?" Jiyū asked him.
"Yeah, what about them?" Sojiro inquired.
"I want to invite them to a movie sometime today." Jiyū admitted to him.
Sojiro raised an eyebrow before shaking his head. "Go ahead, I'm not going to stop you."
"Okay thanks." Jiyū smiled to him.
Sojiro chuckled and shook his head only to sigh. "Hopefully someday she'll be able to recover a little bit like you."
Jiyū frowned before saying, "It'll happen sooner."
"I hope so." Sojiro sighed. "Do you mind wiping down the tables?"
Jiyū nodded wiping them down.
Later...
After getting some yen Jiyū tapped the app, and entered the room.
"Is this regarding his new ally?" Justine inquired.
"You mean Miss Takamaki, or the Shadows being his Personas?" Jiyū asked her.
"The first one, Shadows and Personas are one in the same and the Trickster can use multiple Personas. It's part of his power our master gave him for his rehabilitation." Caroline explained. "Though we already knew about that so I take it you have no new information for us?"
"Well there is something I want us to do. Like say a movie together." Jiyū answered.
"A movie?" Justine inquired.
"Yeah. Their films which shows of action, drama, romance, or any kind of genre in a lengthy film or a big screen." Jiyū explained.
"In other words it serves as an escape from reality, a chance to experience events most humans could never dream of?" Caroline asked.
"Well sort of. It is only something where it's all pretend or stuff that shows of people going through adventures, school life, or stuff like that." Jiyū explained to them, "Like say their are some movies about Prisoners being involved in a Football Game."
"Is that so? It sounds quite diverse." Justine noted. "Alright, we can accompany you."
"What, I never agreed to that." Caroline snapped.
"True, but you did express a desire to see him again. I believe you wanted another por..." Justine started only for Caroline to blush.
"Don't say that, fine let's go already." Caroline said quickly.
'Por-what?' Jiyū thought blinking before saying, "Well come with me. The theatre's not far."
They nodded following him. They walked in a building where the wardens smell something.
"What is that smell?" Caroline asked.
"That is the scent of popcorn. You guys remember the food we had from Big Bang Burger?" Jiyū asked with a smile, and after they nodded he explained, "Popcorn is basically like a type of food that you eat while watching movies. You don't have to eat them while watching them but their enjoyable."
"It's an optional part but if you do want to try then okay. I got plenty of yen for us to have a few snacks while watching." Jiyū said as they walked to the snack part of the theatre, "Their are many things to eat while we watch."
"We'll trust you to handle this part." Caroline mentioned.
Jiyū looked over before ordering several things, and handed both Wardens box trays with buttered popcorn, a nacho cheese pretzel, along with fried Donut Sticks, and a coke to drink.
"This... it certainly looks interesting." Justine admitted.
"Trust me they'll be good things to enjoy with the film." Jiyū said taking his tray after paying, "I already got tickets follow me."
They nodded following him. They entered a room where they see multiple red chairs, and to their shock a huge black screen.
"What is this?" Caroline asked in shock.
"That's the screen where we're seeing the movie on." Jiyū said with a smile.
The twin wardens looks surprised at that. "It's certainly large enough to draw attention."
"Well this movie is a classic while I was growing up." Jiyū smiled to them.
"Oh?" Justine inquired. "I see."
They took seats in a peculiar row as they waited before the lights dimmed.
"What's going on?" Caroline questioned. "Is this some kind of trap?"
"No. This is just to show the movie's starting." Jiyū smiled before the screen lights up.
The twin wardens stared at the screen curiously. Music started before went through a sequence ending with a orange bubble, and a blue bubble before it shirts to a blue sky shifting to what looks like a pirate looking out a telescope before seeing something, and went for a closer look as from a telescope view was a man rowing a small boat with a chest crying, "I've got it! I've got it! I've got it!"
The pirate lowered the scoop saying, "Dingy ahoy."
He then called down, "Dingy off the port bow! Dingy off the port bow!"
"Dingy off the port bow!" another pirate called that alarmed the rest of the ship.
A pirate knocked on a small room door labeled as Captains Quarters before saying, "Captain! Dingy off-!"
He didn't get a chance to continue when a pirate with an eyepatch, and parrot on his shoulder walked out with the door hitting the pirate making him collapse while the man questioned, "Dingy?"
"I've got it! I've got it! I've got it!" the man on the boat called before he was hauled up with the chest from some rope lowering down.
The Captain got himself to where it is asking, "Where it is?"
"It's right here captain." the man said before opening the chest as the Captain leaned close in awe.
"I've never thought I've seen it with me own eye..." the Captain said in awe as the parrot cawed before pulling out what was in the chest which looks like a couple of tickets to a movie showing it to all the pirates on the ship, "Tickets to the SpongeBob Movie!"
They all cheered at this.
"Wait, isn't that what we have?" Caroline questioned. "Why go to the middle of the ocean?"
"Haha no." Jiyū chuckled before explaining, "Their not the same, I'm not the guy to talk about it but their not actually at the ocean. This is just at a setting that looks like it."
They looked curious before turning to the screen.
After the movie...
"Manager!? This is the greatest day of my life!" the titular character named SpongeBob cried before jumping freezing in place as music started before credits started.
"That was... unexpected. Humans actually imagine themselves in that kind of scenario?" Caroline asked curiously. "You want to be a sponge living underwater?"
"Well not all of them but it's just for laughs, fun, and kids enjoying it." Jiyū answered with a smile as the lights light up as he said, "So what you two think?"
"It was... a nice distraction." Justine admitted only to pause. "Though, I do have one question."
"Yeah?" Jiyū asked her.
"That scene before it began, at the beach with all of those humans. Is that a normal gathering?" she inquired.
"Well somewhat. In hot days people gather in beaches to cool down with the water." Jiyū answered.
"I see, perhaps you could show us at some point." Justine suggested.
"Well it's April right now so in a few months will come the hot heat waves which means we can head to the beach." Jiyū smiled to them.
Caroline nodded only to blush.
"Someone you want to say Caroline-chan?" Jiyū asked her.
"You're an artist right?" she inquired.
Jiyū nodded, "Had been for about 2, and a half years now. Though it's tough to get a big break for it."
"Could we request another portrait?" Justine asked.
That catch him off-guard before asking, "Paint a picture of you both in a pose or something?"
"A pose?" Caroline asked.
"Well uh..." Jiyū gave thought before doing a Featherman Pose, "Like this. It comes in many different shapes, and forms."
They blinked before getting into a pose.
"Whoa that looks good on you both. Okay when we get back to my house, I can paint you both while you two do that." Jiyū smiled to them at that.
They nodded at that. They walked on back to Jiyū's house, and entered his room while getting his canvas ready with a chair, "Alright, now please get in that pose you two."
"Alright." Justine nodded as they did so.
"Okay, now try to stay like that for as long as you can." Jiyū smiled before dipping his brush into some blue before starting to work on the canvas taking looks at the twins.
They stayed still. About half an hour later Jiyū wiped his forehead to get rid of sweat while putting his brush down, "Okay, it's all ready."
"Well?" Caroline inquired.
They got out of their pose as Jiyū turned the stand where the canvas is sitting on allowing the twins to see themselves in the warden office while on the desk were both twins doing their pose. The twins stared in awe.
"Remarkable." Justine whispered.
"Yeah quite a piece of work." Jiyū admitted with a smile rubbing his head, "You both are fun to paint of."
Caroline blushed at that.
"This needs to dry for a while." Jiyū said before placing the canvas on the coolest part of his room, "You don't want to take it back while wet or it'll mess it up. Shouldn't take for about 10 minutes."
"I see, then what now?" Caroline asked.
"Well actually there was also something." Jiyū said blushing a bit before closing, and locking his door, "And it's about my time in Kamoshida's Palace."
"Oh?" Justine inquired.
"Well there were things about him I didn't need to see or know." Jiyū admitted before explaining what are Kamoshida's desires that he had seen.
"So? His desires were clearly distorted." Caroline pointed out.
"That's not the point." Jiyū told her blushing, "My point is that... Me having thoughts of you two like that are in my head... But unlike Kamoshida I won't force you two to do that if you don't want too."
Justine's eye widened slightly before she closed it. "Very well."
"Of course you both still have another decision to go over before then." Jiyū added to them.
"What decision?" Caroline questioned.
"You both still haven't agreed to my terms, and still got a lot of options to consider." Jiyū answered to them.
"When did you give us an ultimatum?" Caroline questioned.
A question mark appeared on Jiyū as he asked, "Ulti-what?"
"You never gave us any terms to agree or not agree to." Justine clarified.
"But... That's what you said when me, and Akira-oniichan had to talk in the room didn't you?" Jiyū asked her.
"Oh... that." Caroline mentioned before frowning. "You know we're not human right?"
"You did mention that." Jiyū answered with a nod.
"And knowing that your request remains unchanged?" Justine asked him.
"Of course not. I wouldn't even care if your both Shadows, I still have my heart on you two." Jiyū said with a smile.
Justine closed her eyes. "Very well, then we agree."
"Eh?" Jiyū blinked.
"You heard her." Caroline told him before sighing. "Though you'd better keep giving us useful information on the Trickster and explaining how things in the real world work."
"I trust that's agreeable?" Justine asked calmly.
Jiyū smiled before nodding, "Agreed!"
Justine nodded at that. "Then, I believe there's only one thing to do now?"
"Well the portrait should be done drying by now." Jiyū said walking taking it off the wall, "This would go nice with the one I've already given you two."
Caroline took it before to Jiyū's shock Justine began removing the top half of her clothes.
"Ah." Jiyū gasped at this.
"Justine what are you..." Caroline started in shock.
"It's unlikely his desires could be distorted but it isn't impossible." Justine explained calmly. "You know as well as I do that humans who desire what is unobtainable grow to desire it even more intensely. Also... he's done quite a bit for us already, it's a small repayment."
"Well uh... Telling me before doing that would been nice." Jiyū admitted with a blush rubbing his head.
Justine nodded as she got dressed again. "Is that all for now?"
"Well... Usually it's a bit more then that. But if it makes you both uncomfortable you can tell me you don't want too." Jiyū told her.
"More than that, what are you talking about?" Caroline questioned with a blush.
"Uh... In Kamoshida's palace the girls he had his desires for... only had bikinis or topless." Jiyū admitted with a blush.
"What do you mean?" Justine asked him.
"Well uh... it's embarrassing to say but the girls who were topless... Only had on their underwear." Jiyū admitted.
Caroline's eye widened in shock. "You seriously have those thoughts spinning in that head of yours?"
"W-Well, it ain't my fault for that ya know!" Jiyū said embarrassed, "Kamoshida is a pervert, and had thoughts of one!"
"That... but if your..." Caroline started before blushing. "Hands behind your back!"
"Ah!" Jiyū flinched at that before doing that, "I swear, I wouldn't force you both to do that if you don't want too!"
"As I said desiring the unobtainable is the first step to having those desires grow distorted." Justine told him before chuckling. "Not that you could force us even if you attempted it."
Jiyū looked before saying, "Sorry you two."
"I can't believe we're doing this." Caroline sighed as the two of them undressed. "Hands stay back, got it?"
Jiyū nodded slowly. A few moments later the two of them were in just their underpants and blushing slightly.
"Wow..." Jiyū breathed in slowly in awe.
"I trust this will satiate your desires?" Justine asked.
"Uh... Yes." Jiyū said blushing a bit, "You both look real beautiful."
They got dressed at that before Justine frowned. "Shall we head back then?"
"Uh sure go ahead... I'll be sure to give you both info on Akira-oniichan's progress." Jiyū smiled to them before asking, "Can I give a kiss goodbye before you leave?"
"Fine." Caroline relented.
Jiyū softly placed small kisses on their cheeks before smiling, "See you both next time. Be careful."
They nodded at that.
Later...
Akira walked in to Leblanc looking half dead.
"You okay?" Jiyū asked him.
"I will be." Akira nodded. "Dr. Takemi is going to sell us medicine though."
Jiyū blinks but nods at that, "Okay."
"Are you going to be able to head in tomorrow?" Akira asked him.
"Yeah I am. And also..." Jiyū blushed before whispering to him, "About our talk yesterday... Both of them went through with it."
Akira's eyes widened. "That... wow."
"They... sorta mentioned, that a desire that is un-obtainable is the first step to a distorted desire." Jiyū explained to him.
"That makes sense." Morgana nodded.
"A-Anyway how's progress on Kamoshida?" Jiyū asked them, "And Miss. Takamaki?"
"Good, Ann got some rest and is willing to join the group and Kamoshida hasn't changed but we'll get to his treasure." Akira answered.
Jiyū nodded at this, "Okay sounds good. How much time do we have to change him?"
"We have until May 2nd." Akira answered.
"Today's the 16th so..." Jiyū counted the days, "16 Days until then."
"Yeah, think we can do it?" Akira asked.
"I know we can. We have strong muscle, a good navigator, a quick guide, some brash skills, and finally a level-headed leader. We can do it at least at half the time." Jiyū admitted with a smile.
Akira smiled. "Right."
Ulrich362: The deadline is set.
bopdog111: 16 Days for them to change Kamoshida.
Ulrich362: It won't be easy but it's possible.
bopdog111: Jiyū's determined for it.
Ulrich362: True, so next up they return to the palace?
bopdog111: And set up an infiltration route along with Jiyū telling the Warden's of Akira's progress.
Ulrich362: Sounds good, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
