Alrighty, edited mah CS. @Mosis Tosis, I appreciate it you going english teacher like that. Run-off sentences often slip through my paragraphs.

@Echo: Haven't read your CS, but saw your image, so I'm taking a guess here, is he related to Kirrahe?

Also, Haru: You might wanna edit your post.Nobody is going after Shiori, everyone is thus far in more or less agreement to go after Shizune.

Sorry 'bout that, little typo. Think I edited what was wrong.

The World of Wasted Dreams

Aito turned to see what everyone else was looking at, the... kid, obviously, it was nothing close to one, but how else could he describe such a horrible spectre that took the form of a child? Due to the surprise, Aito fell over. He couldn't believe his eyes, was that thing for real? He couldn't talk, nothing would come out of his mouth. When the child-monster opened its mout, he closed his eyes, expecting something to happen. But, nothing happened, nothing at all. He let out a nervous laugh as he stood up. "Seems we shouldn't have worried so much about... it. It must be harmless and is just meant to scare us, yeah, that must be it." He said with way more confidence than someone in his situation should have. "Or, maybe, it is, I dunno, loading something or is calling another one in an ultrasonic frequence we can't hear, or..." He hit his mouth with his open palm after realizing he was spouting random, stupid bits and pieces of theories that formulated in his head. This time, not only would he be unnerved by his useless rambling, but everyone else too, and that wouldn't be helpful for them. Even so, all of his theories went directly down the toilet when Yoshida seemed to be aching of something.

After hearing how nonexistant their opportunities of surviving were and watching the same girl who practically called him self-centered and selfish, run out the front doorin a selfish attempt to save her own life, Aito smiled nervously. "And here I though I WAS the selfish one." He was relieved to see the thing go after her. It seems that yet another girl decided to take one for the team. Even so, she was valuable, being the only one with some kind of idea regarding this world, it seemed wrong to just let her die, since her death, meant their death. Or at least, less chances of surviving. Had the ghostly boy just gone there to kill Yoshida Shizune, or at the very least, to separete her from the others? Sure seemed so, since he ran after her when she left. Maybe the world was alive and trying to kill them? Yeah, right, some crazy theory he formulated there. Even so, it wasn't something completely impossible, so he didn't cross it out as useless for now.

When people started talking about going after Shizune and whatnot, Aito wanted to speak up, but he too wanted to go search for her. Without her, their information on this world would be limited, and thus, the probability of dying increased at least twice. Even so, Shizune didn't seem to know anything about the boy, so maybe that meant that the world was in constant evolution, searching for something to hurt every and each one of them? As more and more questions popped in Aito's head, the president of the P.O.I.R also decided to head out, but she went in the opposite direction Shizune took. "Great, just great, I really think I said that we shouldn't split up, but no one ever listens to me! God...." He quickly balanced things out in his head. Which would be the best course of action? Going after Shizune or after Shiori? A 'rescue team' for Shizune had already been formed, with the remaining girls following after her. That left him and Tsubasa. 'Oh, god. Akane went with them, didn't she?' He felt a chill go down his spine. But wait, this wasn't the time to be fearful, this time his life was on the line. Either he kept his fear at bay, or he will end up dead. He shook his head and finished his thinking on the situation. Right now, Shiori was all alone, and he already that the less people together, the less chances they'll have to survive.

He went to the door too and before leaving, he turned to see Tsubasa. "Look, we have to go after the president. We need to ensure that we lose no more people, or the next ones to die will be us. Are you going to come or not, Hazama?" He didn't even let him answer, he dashed out of the classroom, aiming to reach Shiori as soon as he could. "President...! Mizuhana! Wait for me!" He shouted as he ran down the hallway. "If you go alone, you'll end up dead! And by consequence, many more of us will! Our strength is in numbers right now!" He was trying to reason with her, but he was also trying to block the voices coming from the hallway. They were scary. He was scared. But what else could he do? Lay down and die wasn't an option.

So, Sundered Echo, I was wondering. Do you think my character is at least something credible? Anticipation's been killing me.

The World of Wasted Dreams

Day 0

As Aito was grabbed by Shizune, an arrogant smirk crossed his face. "Oh yeah? If you claim to know me so well, then why are you thinking I'll do that right off the bat? It is... merely a reserve plan. If I can, I too want to save as must people as possible. But wouldn't it be better for at least one of us to survive in spite of the others? I am pretty sure Audrey's sacrifice has given us an edge now. We survived something we weren't supposed to because of her." His words fell into no one's ears, though, since the girl was already long gone. He clicked his tongue. "Tch. I'll have to play the good man for now, it seems." He followed Shizune until they arrived to the room, even though it looked exactly the same, but with some chairs. "What the heck is wrong with this world?" He let is body drop on one of the chairs and he stretched out. "Ah.... just a few moments in and we have already lost someone.... Shows just how dangerous this place is." He said to himself, before being pulled away by Akane.

"W-what is it? When they finally stopped and Akane told him to 'not be afraid', Aito inevitably blushed. "I am not scared. It's just... just.." When she brought up the thing about Shizune, Aito's eyes sharpened and he glared at her. "So, you're siding with her, huh? What can she know? She hasn't spent any time with me and claims to know me. I hate girls like her." He was annoyed and upset at Akane, but he didn't want to, so he just dismissed it with his hand. "You know what, forget it. Talk to you later."

He walked away from her and sit in one of the chairs, crossing his arms and falling asleep there. Not the most comfortable thing, but the most practical if he had to make a run for it in any instant. Faster than raising from the floor. He left the flashlight of his cellphone on until he remembered that the battery wouldn't last forever. When he checked, the screen already was telling Aito to plug in his charger. "God dammit." He put it back in his chest pocket and returned to sleep. Somewhere inside him, he wished for everything to go back to what it originally was when he opened up his eyes, though the probability was minimal.

Day 1

Aito slightly jumped in the chair when he heard the child like cries. His eyes quickly scanned through the room, searching for Akane. It was in her nature to always help someone in need, but this clearly wasn't something she could handle. Besides, the voice felt oddly familiar. If Aito recalled it correctly, it seemed like that of her sister, Beni.

He saw the newest addition to the group, Tsubasa, go near Shizune and asking her something that seemed obvious. Aito felt the need to answer him and Akane, who followed in with the question. He put himself behind Tsubasa and put a hand on his shoulder. "Of course it isn't real. In here, there's nothing but mosters and us. But..." Aito also felt uneasy at the constant cries of the kids, but he had to keep his level-headness right now, or they would lose another pair of people, and falling for a trap like that was just insulting. "Hey, Yoshida. Think we can move from here to somewhere, I dunno, 'safer'? Not that I expect somewhere in this hellhole to be safer, but still." He asked the field expert, but he knew that the answer might be that no, there wasn't any place safer than that.

There, advancement post is up. :D

[High-Casual] Persona: Mirrors Mirage

During the whole session of the Velvet Room, Touko was completely silent, only gasping when the strange key appeared on her hand. At least she got some answers, but she couldn't help but to feel somewhat uneasy. What Priscilla said made it all the more so. That they should return when they 'Awakened to their Personas'. Did that mean that they too, would be able to summon those things from earlier? If so, what would hers be? Rather than scared, she was now somewhat anxious and thrilled to see what hers would be like.

She followed Priscilla's gesture with her eyes and looked at the door. Wait, weren't they in a boat? Where did that lead to? If the rest of the boat was as fashionable and expensive-looking as the Velvet Room, then a little tour was in order, boundaries or not, it was ought to be interesting. Touko hurriedly got out of her seat and opened the door... Only to find herself in a foreign room. She sprung to a sitting position. First the Velvet Room and now this? Was she kidnapped or something? She takes her cell and tries to dial her father's number and while she is waiting for him to pick up, she remembers that she is in the dorm. She hits herself on the face with her palm after she realizes it. She turns her phone off and gets out of her bed. She quickly dresses up and leaves the dorm. She thought she would have to walk all the way to the school now, and she didn't felt like bothering everyone else to get someone to accompany her. Besides, she wanted some time alone to think.

What the heck was that yesterday? It was all too surreal, yet it felt as real as life. Personas and Shadows, the Hour of Reflection. It felt like too much information to swallow up at once. But she had the gist of it. Basically, this 'Hour of Reflection' happened at random, so it'd be better to be prepared when it came down to it, right? Maybe buy a weapon or something. But, who would sell a teenager a weapon? It's not like she could go and tell them that she was being attacked by blobby monsters, they'd take her for crazy. It seems that the only thing she could do was ask one of this guys with a Persona to be with her at all times, so that she won't be killed. Or, she could awaken her own. Not that she had any idea on how to do it, though. Yesterday, everyone made it seem as a simple task, but when it goes down to it, would Touko be able to summon hers before being killed by the Shadows? It was better not to take any chances.

It seemed strange, though. She barely remembered the first time she visited the Velvet Room, but now she could vividly remember this encounter. The girl named Priscilla and the odd looking man named Igor, both of them were residents, and everyone in the dorm were their hosts. She recalled that Priscilla said something about a journey and the search for answers. What did she meant by that? What answers and answers to what? She felt that her brain was prone to overheating if she kept thinking so hard about things. She decided to give it a rest for now and gather information with the others later, if they decided to show up, that is.

The first part of the day went on without a major incident, no Hour of Reflection or Shadows, just teachers and students. Touko let out a sigh of relief, for not having to experience again the Hour of Reflection and the dreadful Shadows. She hurriedly headed to the rendezvous point that she had written on her note. She hoped that someone, if anyone, showed up. God knows when will the Hour of Reflection trigger in again, and for how long this time.

She thought that she was the first one to arrive, since no one was there when she arrived. Figures. Not like any of them would run there just to have a get-together like her, but she still expected to see them around as soon as she arrived. She crossed her arms and anxiously drummed her fingers on her arms. She was very anxious for some reason, maybe it was because no one would be there to help her if the Hour of Reflection were to happen right now? However, she had no option but to wait until everyone else decided to show up. "Come on, how long are you planning to make me wait?" She said to no one in particular in an irritated tone.
