“You want my help.” He raises an eyebrow at her, curious. Akihiko’s more amused than he is upset by the change, even if it means cutting off his visits to the back alleys. Minato seems content to sleep after classes, but Minako clearly wanted to do well, if she was so intent on this course of action. Leaning forward, he gives her a bit of a grin - and not a nice one. “Are you really sure this is what you want honey?” He asks, amused. A few of his fellow boxing club associates edge away at the dangerous grin.

                                                                       Akihiko needed a new test bunny, and poor                                                                        @godfyred has volunteered. Rest in Peace.

He was so tired. Dragging his feet along the ground, he sleepily trundles his way into the diner, shoving it open with his shoulder and slugging across until he was slumped in his booth, giving a weak groan of relief.

“Shinji feed me.“ He moans dramatically, unable to lift his head from the sleek diner. “If I have to do another pretend situation with a client I’m going to die. Possibly, actually, die.” Mock trials were evil, terrible, no good things and he needed Shinji to give him a nice pick-me-up.

Hopefully with some of that icy soda he’d started getting.

What. A. Day. Akihiko gives a quiet sound of relief when he manages to find the ramen place again. It was a bit out of his way, but Akihiko didn’t care - after a week of playing nice and friendly to people, he was ready to punch in the face of the next classmate who tried to shmooze up to him for his connections to Mitsuru.

“Ah... shit.“ He mutters finally, realizing that he’d come at a bad time. It was incredibly full - if Akihiko hadn’t gotten used to the crush of people in Tokyo, he would have never spotted the seat next to a quiet, dark-haired young man, the young adult slipping in and claiming the empty seat. “Oh thank god.“ Akihiko’s forehead hits the table, and he breathes out a sigh of relief, sitting up properly and putting his bag by his feet. He glances over, and offers the other occupant of the place a smile.

“You don’t mind my being here, do you?” Call him old fashioned, but he did quite honestly mean those words - with all the strange things going on, he couldn’t really deny the boy the right to refuse him the space. It’d be a bitch to wait longer, but that was what he got for manners.

                                                                               Akihiko has met @jokermotif at the best                                                                               ramen stand in town.

ᴀ . protest

It was another Sunday, and Yoshida, true to form, was always out and about. He smiles lightly, stops by to hear his words. The man was rough around the edges, but he’d grown since Akihiko had seen him last - using his words and his calm skills to create such a presence that Akihiko felt honored, often, to experience the art of wordcraft happening before him. He doesn’t often hang around as close as he does, but today, he can see a young man holding a sign which is quite honestly a surprise.

He hadn’t realized that Yoshida had gained popularity among the teens of the city, but he supposed it was only a matter of time. He’s wrapping up, so it doesn’t take long before the boy with him is slowly putting his signs away. He shifts his bag up higher, and debates about approaching before he does it.

“Hello.” Akihiko greets the boy with a smile. “Are you a fan of Yoshida-san’s work as well?” 

                                                                                    Akihiko has run into @maeigha during                                                                                     Yoshida’s speech.

“Hey.“ Akihiko knocks on the door of his roommate’s new room, smiles in. “I hope you don’t mind the small size... It’s a bit different from your old room.” He’s smiling as he says it, knows Ken is still tired from the move. Ken had agreed to move in at the suspicion of a conspiracy in Tokyo, though he was still unsure if Mitsuru was using that as an excuse to get Ken in the city.

That didn’t make his life any easier though - especially with the sudden resistance in the police force in investigating suspicious claims on the school. “How are you holding up?” He was holding a cup of coffee of Ken’s favorite brew regardless, a smile on his face.

                                                                                 Akihiko has sought @kalaanemi for                                                                                  assistance.

ᴍ . campus

Ah. Another year of prospective hopefuls. Akihiko gives the guide a smile, receives a scowl in return. He’d lucked out again, not having to show anyone around, though he supposed he wouldn’t have minded the Shujin group - Mitsuru was suspicious about the activity there, and she wanted as little fuss as possible surrounding Ken, who had agreed to a transfer with the stipulation of bringing Koro-chan along. He checks his watch. In another hour, he’d be going for another club, but until then, he was a bit at a loss. What to do...

So absorbed in his thoughts, he nearly runs into a young woman. It’s only the eleventh-hour intervention of his reflexes, honed by years of battling shadows that causes him to shift stance, pivot upon a single foot to plant himself abreast of the girl rather than on a collision course. With how close he was, he has to worry that she’s been hurt somehow.

“I’m so sorry miss!” He apologizes immediately, sketches a quick bow in her direction. “I didn’t hit you, did I?”

                                                                                           Akihiko has met @queenbiker                                                                                            after her campus tour.

Black-dyed hair is damp, plastered against his face as the teenager crushes his opponent’s wrist in a hand with a deft touch. He’s grinning - rush and a high like he’d never get in Tartarus. He tosses the broken mess aside, raises a single challenging eyebrow. In here, he wears his stage clothes. The bright red ribbons contrast against the black of the traditional outfit, feeling the fabric stretch over his skin and cling nicely. The air is a little thick with smoke, his stage name chanted by the enthusiastic denizens of the dark, shady club. A glimpse of blue catches his eye, and he rolls his head lazily to a side, doesn’t drop his cocky smile even though the sight of Minato is enough to make his chest lurch with shock.

                                                                                    @godsfated what do you think you’re                                                                                     doing here?!

His idea of romance is very simple - someone to talk to at the end of the day and the chance to possibly cuddle and watch tv. That’s all. ideal physical traits : none really. Mild physical health is preferred so he can drag them around town without them passing out on him, but if that’s a problem he’ll just carry them. ideal personality traits : someone focused on truth and justice, but with the understanding that sometimes situations out of someone’s control can result in bad choices. unattractive physical traits : no preference. unattractive personality traits : anyone unwilling to compromise even on small things. ideal date : If they spend time together without the expectation of needing to go and do something else, it’s probably a date. do they have a type : if they breathe and have a sense of humor they’re his type average relationship length : n / a . commitment level : fully committed. He sticks to his loved ones even at the expense of his own happiness. opinion of public affection : deeply uncomfortable by it.

Oh wow. Akihiko hadn’t known that the canceled Idol’s show had been such a big deal. There were already people swarming about, an irritated looking club bouncer blocking entrance to the reporters with anger in his tone. Stepping forward, Akihiko draws up next to a young man in a dark-colored cap.

“Clear out you nosy busybodies!” The man snaps,waving his arms frantically to keep them from entering the premises. “You can’t just enter without permission from the police!” His gaze skips over the person next to him, shooing them away without even glancing at them. Akihiko raises an eyebrow.

“Need a hand?” He asked wryly, seeing the number of students running around and trying to sneak in. The bouncer gives a relieved smile at him, and Akihiko steps forward, turning around and fixing the crowd with a glare. “Excuse me.” He pushes all the command into his tone that he can, is gratified when even the Lost turn to face him. His eyes narrow, and the students he recognizes shift guiltily. “Gekkoukan students, you should know better than to disregard the rules about students entering this club during the day.” His voice brooks no tone for argument, and the students slouch off, disappointed, but unwilling to get into it with their star athlete.

He turns his attention to the remaining groups, and his gray eyes sharpen dangerously. “Do any of you have Officer Kurowasa’s approval to be here?” He tilts his head to a side, gets a smattering of guilty shuffles from the reporters. “No? Then clear out.” Most of them leave, and only the young boy in the cap is remaining. “Do you have the Officer’s approval?” He asked, tilting his head at them.

                                                                                 @nambumotif has begun to investigate                                                                                  the mysteries of Tatsumi Port Island

Akihiko is independently wealthy. His history as a street fighter meant he was often in possession of large amounts of cash and/or other easily liquid assets such as jewelry - which he never bothered to sell in any reputable market as he always ran the risk of running afoul of the authorities.

After he managed to escape under Nana’s thumb, he was sought out by his former parents, who attempted to reintegrate him with their family, as they were unable to have children after disowning him.

He agreed to it, however, inheriting what was left of his parent’s finances when they passed on, though he did not preform what they wanted - a son who would dutifully ignore his own desires to care for them until they died.

He did eventually manage to get rid of the non cash assets, and after his parents death, managed to explain away the large cash deposit as his parents’ paranoia. As such, he has a large amount of cash on hand.

Akihiko doesn’t often get to meet up with his former dormmates. Much of his time has been occupied greatly by his particular choice of education, and as such, he was either studying, sleeping, or eating. Usually he turned down requests for a visit, but... well. It was Mitsu, and she was always up for a nice, comforting chat over that day’s meal - he had sushi with her last time, so maybe she wouldn’t mind a nice western meal this time.

[SMS: Fellow Glitterology Bae] So I’m picking you up, right? You said you wanted to try out the new Western place near the college?

                                                                                              Akihiko always has time for a                                                                                               lunch date with @mitsuisms

What a time to be alive. He was silently observing the aftermath of the whole mess in Inaba, the law student running a hand through his hair and sighing to himself.He was so, so tired. The adult stands up, jogs his way down to where he can see a familiar orange and white dog tagging behind the youngest of their team.

“There you are.” He tries for a smile, but his smile fades as he lets his exhaustion show. “You want something to eat? My treat.”

                                                                                   Akihiko has spotted @masayoshiko                                                                                   while trying to relax.

The act of a persona user gaining a Palace of their own is not impossible, but it is exceedingly difficult. As it is impossible to gain a Palace without losing their Persona in the early stages, usually most Palace owners do not gain a Persona.

For a user who has gained their Ultimate Persona, the rules are a little different. Such actions result in a regression to their initial Persona, with their resolve, their revelation and the strength they have gained from achieving their goals seem to cease, trapping them in a situation they cannot escape without facing their Persona again, though they also face considerable struggle within as well.

Occasionally, their original Persona may have opinions of their own, and they are usually not pleased by the concept of disappearing again. They fight against any change, even positive, if it means that they will remain the driving force of the human they embody, even at the cost of their rationality.
