Hello my readers, here is the 3rd chapter to our little story, it's basically just more talking and nothing else, but the chapter after this will have some action, so let's get into this.
Chapter 5: New face's.
Once they returned from the Labyrinth, they were met with 5 more people, the two girls from before and 3 people wearing blue clothing, had white hair, and yellow eyes, the only differences were one had long hair and long sleeves, the other had short hair and was wearing a hat, and the other was a tall boy in a blue suit.
"Guys! I'm so happy you're okay!" the short haired girl said.
"Yeah, you had me scared there," the girl in pig tails said.
"Yeah, but it wasn't us that destroyed that thing, it was them," the silver haired boy said, pointing at the stand users.
They all looked at them, this moment was also followed with an awkward silence, Joseph was the first to break the silence by saying.
"Hello, you shouldn't worry, we're probably on your side."
"Hey Margarete, I thought you said we were the only people here that were actual people," the boy with blue bangs said.
"I thought we were, but I guess I was wrong," she said.
"They do seem like such an odd group of men, don't they?" the girl in the blue hat with short hair asked.
"Yes, but it's no use in knowing them if they don't know who we are," The boy in the blue suit said.
"Very well then, let's start from the 3rd years and work our way down, I'll start, my name is Mitsuru Kirijo," the girl with red hair said.
"My names, Akihiko Sanada, I'm the captain of boxing club." The one with in the red sweater vest said.
"Um, I guess… I'm next? Um, I-I'm Fuuka Yamagishi," the girl with the short hair said nervously.
"I'm Shinjiro Aragaki, I guess I'm a 3rd year… If you want to get technical," the guy in the trench coat said.
"Well, I guess the second years are up, I'm Yukari Takeba, ummm I'm in the archery club," the girl in the pink sweater said.
"Whelp, my turn next, I'm Junpei lori, a peace loving hero!" the boy in the baseball cap said.
"Yu narukami, I'm a second year at yasogami High," the boy with the silver hair said.
What he said intrigued them.
"You go here?" Kakyoin asked.
"Well me, and my friends go there but this place doesn't look much like our Yasogami high."
"Your all from Yasogami high?" Avdol asked.
"Well not all of us, some of us are from Gekkoukan high, by the way, I'm Minato Arisato," the boy with the blue bangs said.
"And I'm Yosuke, I'm basically Yu's partner," the boy with headphones said.
"Partners eh? That's like Joseph and Avdol," Polneraff said.
"Really, well that's cool."
"Anyways, uhh, I'm Chie Satonaka, and I'm a second year too, and… Th-This is kind of nerve wracking…" she said feeling very awkward.
"My favorite food is pudding!" Yosuke said in a girlish voice.
"Wha-!? You want bootmarks all over your face!?"
"Okay, I guess I'm next? I'm Yukiko Amagi, a second year. I'm in the same class as Chie and the others."
"I am considered a second year at Gekkoukan high school as well, I am Aigis, Minato is special to me, being by his side is extremely important," she said.
"So, you two are dating" Kakyoin asked awkwardly.
"No, but they are quite close," Mitsuru said.
"Now it's the first years turn! I'm Rise Kujikawa." The girl in pig tails said.
"Uhhh, I'm… Kanji Tatsumi. Yeah," the menacing looking boy said.
"Aww, that's it Kanji?"
"Tell em about your hobbies," Yosuke said.
"Sh-Shut up!" Kanji said.
"My name is Naoto Shirogane, I'm pleased to meet you," the intelligent boy said.
"I believe it's my turn, my name is Ken Amada, unlike everyone I'm not a high school student, I'm a fifth grader at gekkukon elementary," the young kid said.
"But you're just a kid," Polneraff said.
"Hey! I'm eleven."
"That still doesn't change anything," Jotaro said
"Yeah, your still technically a kid," Kakyoin said
"U-Umm right…" He said blushing.
"Arf," they turned to a dog with red eyes and was wearing some kind of weird yet cool looking collar.
"This is Korumaru-san, he seems to be very excited to introduce himself at last," Aigis said
"And saving the best for last! My names Teddie the most adorable and lady attracting bear on this team!"
"None of that's true" Yosuke sighed.
"Well that's all of us, why don't you tell us about yourselves now?" Mitsuru asked.
They introduced themselves to them. Zen and Rei tell them how they had been here first, with no memory of their past…
"I-It's nice to meet you all…" Rei said shy.
"Well now that the introductions are out of the way, let's go to the velvet room." Margarete said.
"The what?" Polneraff asked.
"Just follow us."
And with that, they left, they soon entered a tent to find it was no average tent, on the inside they were in what seemed like a blue void, the only floor there was the one platform they were standing on, there were turning gears, doors placed in random places and 3 sets of stairs,2 of them broken though, but the thing that intrigued them the most was the fact that there were 3 large doors that were chained shut, one lock was a heart, one that looked like yen, one that was really big, and finally the one that was shaking violently
"HOLY SHIT! Where and what is this place!?" Joseph asked.
"This is the velvet room it is a place between dreams and reality, mind and matter" Margarete said.
"well that explains it."
"Guys! Look!" Rise said.
They looked at the door to see the lock that was shaking violently come off.
"What the…?"
They turned to a girl with grey eyes, short black hair, she was wearing a plaid skirt and boots, zebra striped long socks that reached her thighs, a white button up shirt minus sleeves, a black belt with a gold buckle, a blue bag with a gold target, a blue hat with 2 buttons on it, and a pair of fingerless gloves that reached her upper arm with red black and grey stripes.
"Sorry I didn't see you before, who are you?" Joseph asked.
"This is my assistant, Maria," Margarete answered.
"There's more? Please tell me there won't be any more," Marie asked.
"At this point I'm not even sure of what's to come," Margarete sighed.
"None of us knew of their presence, so when they showed up at the end of the labyrinth even we were surprised," Elizabeth said.
"Well hopefully there will be no more surprises from here on out" Margarete said.
"Yeah me too, I didn't expect any of this, so I think we're just as surprised as you were," Jotaro said.
"Anyway, even though one lock came off there are still 3 other locks, that must mean that there are 3 other dungeons?" Mitsuru said.
"Only 3? Come on I was hoping for a challenge," Akihiko said.
"I wouldn't say that, we don't know what's ahead of us," Joseph said.
"Joseph does make a point, anyway me and fuuka are going to try and find where the next labyrinth is," Rise said.
"What are we going to do?"
"Well with more people here maybe we could get some help in some of the departments that will be necessary, I'll take over the velvet room," Margarete said.
"You know how to fuse personas?" Minato asked curios.
"Not much, but I have watch Igor do it quite a bit so I do know enough to do it without problem."
"That is a wonderful idea, perhaps I could take over the nursery," Elizabeth said.
"I have already set myself up in the craft room, I could turn the fake weapons into real ones if you sell me what you get in the labyrinths," Theodore said.
"I guess I'll just stay here and help out," Maria said.
"And perhaps when you're not busy, you could write those poems," Margarete said.
"Th-those aren't poems, their important forms," she said blushing.
"Oh well then I'm sure you'll have plenty of work to do."
"Whatever," Maria sighed.
They left for the Nurse's office but upon entering not only has the space doubled in size but there are curtains hung, stuffed animals sitting at a table, one hanging from a noose, a small colorful banter that said "WELCOME" paper chains hanging, a chandelier and a few doctor things like an eye chart a and artificial model of the human body, a few swords a tea kettle and a skeleton wearing a pink dress with 5 zero's down the middle, Elizabeth was wearing the same dress with matching boots and a nurse hat.
"Welcome to Elizabeth's room, Would you like a medicine, a shot, or perhaps…?"
"What are you playing at?" Theodore asked.
"I borrowed that line from a book I found on your shelf."
"D-Don't be absurd!"
She just turned to the rest and said.
"I took into consideration the seven horrors bandied about this school and set up a request notebook, as they say "If you wish to write your wish in the logbook at the Nurse's office, it'll come true…" I've already written one down, so now it's your turn to grant it." Elizabeth said.
"That's not how these 7 horrors work, though…" Yosuke said.
"The rewards I have prepared are quite fine. Why not take on requests and earn an extra boost in your efforts? But pleased be warned. Some of these requests will have deadlines attached to them,"
"Is there really going to be time for such a thing?" Kakyoin asked.
"seems like it would keep us busy when we need to take a break," Polneraff said.
"Seems better than doing nothing."
"with all that out of the way, why don't we check out this culture festival?" Polneraff suggested.
"But we should probably start trying to find it as soon as possible," Joseph said.
"Me and Fuuka will look for it, why don't you guys look around while we look for the next one, it could be a while," Rise said.
"Alright! Another chance to at a culture festival, the one at our school got canned!" Junpei said excited.
"Well if that's the case then Shinji, I challenge you to an eating contest, I saw a takoyaki stand while walking here," Akihiko said.
"the hell I'll except that!" Shinjiro declined.
"They have takoyaki here!?" Chie said excited.
"Takoyaki…I Elizabeth will join you!" Elizabeth said.
With that they all went to look at what the culture festival had to offer.
/You in wonderland, unknown aria\
In a small room of the labyrinth there was a man sitting on the ground.
"Finally… they are all together… the time to attack…is now," he said.
