[video] ⚡ time for true revelation

[yumadbro]

[When the video began, the first thing to be heard was the deafening hum and crackle of a lot of electricity. Whatever was going on was obscured by a blinding light--when that faded, the first image broadcast was of Narukami and Izanagi withstanding a devastating assault; he'd thrown himself and his Persona between the blond teenager and his Shadow without a second thought.]

[Narukami faltered and fell to his knees, looking up at the Shadow with a strangely resigned look as it began charging another attack. Not for the first time, the full realization that all of them were risking their lives struck with full force. If he couldn't come up with something fast...]

[But something about him changed in no more time than it would take someone to blink. As he rose to his feet, a card with the symbol of the High Priestess descended from thin air. Narukami swept his hand across it to reveal a second, that of the Magician. There was a blinding surge of light and energy, and as he raised both arms the ground shook from the power he was preparing to unleash. At a thought, the cards collided with the sound of shattering glass and the video momentarily whited out again.]

[When the light began to fade, there was a massive eight-headed serpent in silhouette towering over the teenage leader that had called it forth from his own heart.]

[Between the rushing wind, crackling lightning, and the tremors caused by the clash of the two, the video suddenly cut out shortly after that.]

Hence my use of the term interesting. Were it something I had encountered before, I imagine my choice of words would have been rather different.

I don't think Igor or Margaret have ever called it magic, but...I really don't know what else to call it.

And I'm sure that means something to someone. But I don't suppose you're about to let me know who these people are so that I might make further enquiries.

They're these people I keep seeing in a blue limousine, mostly when I'm dreaming. The two of them keep talking about my power and how I'm apparently special for some reason. I have more than one Persona unlike anyone else, and I think they call that the 'wild card'.

[How does I kept secrets?]

I see. Of course, I'm sure you don't mean Persona in the way I'm thinking and it doesn't sound like there's any potential value to be gained if they're not something one can incorporate into their skillset at will. Shame, too, because I'm sure I'd like to see how the timeline deals with such an anomaly.

Usually you have to confront your Shadow before you can get one.

How very psychological. Perhaps I should be encouraging my friends to make better use of my amateur dabblings in psychoanalysis that they at least might benefit. I'm not sure my current providers would take too kindly to sharing, regretful as it is to admit.

It's got something to do with psychology, right?

What gave it away?

A few other people have said things like that in the past.

What can you tell me about it?

Not much. As I said, my experience is amateur at best. Still, it's a fascinating concept.
