Persona - Academic Akrasia (Being rebooted, see new int check)

This time, Sakura leaped into action as the shadow attacked. She wasn't exactly sure why she had come down with a sudden case of heroism, but caught up in the moment she dashed forward and shoved the targeted boy out of the way. Unfortunately, it belatedly occured to her that this put her directly in front of the attack herself. She squeezed her eyes closed, bracing herself for the burns she had seen the others take-

-and then opened them again as a warmth spread over her. She felt her fatigue and aches melting away, like she had drank a cup of hot tea to soothe her throat. She let out a laugh, the completely backwards effect of the fire just another entry on the list of bizarre occurrences to consider later.

my question is why do people keep summoning vicious Old Gods to their aid? It is literally NEVER a good idea.

Grace moved then, ignoring the fear of the girl against the wall and taking hold of the one in the pipes. "Forgive me if I hurt you," She said as she pulled the girl free, "but I fear we have run out of time." She fought down the bile in her throat as metal was pulled free from flesh and bone, ignoring the horrific noises that made. Finally the girl was free, and Grace held her gently against her own body like a mother carrying her child, and turned to the other girl in the room.

"I have no time to earn your trust now. You have a choice, either follow us and live, or run from me and be consumed by this place. If you follow me, no harm will befall you as long as my body moves." Then she turned, moving swiftly to the hole in the wall that led outside. Then she saw what had frightened the girl in the pipes. She backed away from the new god, wondering what fool had summoned it here, then turned and moved in the other direction, looking back briefly both to see if the other girl was following them and if the god had noticed them escaping.

Blank leaped into action, pulling his sword close to his body. He moved smoothly around the flying stone, his footwork precise with no wasted movement. Glancing backwards in the middle of his turn, he reassured himself that the others were out of danger, mildly surprised that the girl he barely knew had raised her own weapon. As he moved, his newfound companion stalked into the sparse underbrush, vanishing from sight. Blank dashed forward, his feet finding sure purchase even in the uneven ground of the forest floor. He raised his blade again, moving slightly forward, but there was no way for him to reach the bird creature from where he was. Instead, he found a fist sized stone halfway embedded in the soft ground. Deftly, he dug the tip of his sword into the soil under the rock and flung it up and forward, bouncing it off the trunk of the tree in front of him. It rebounded to him and he gracefully caught it with his free hand, then immediately whipped it at the monster he faced.

"Come get me, wormeater!" He shouted, beginning to move away from the group. He practically danced backwards, trying to lead the bird on a merry chase through the woods, and away from the rest of his group. The danger of the plan didn't even cross his mind as he leaped between the trees, he just felt the need to protect the others, a need that awakened that niggling feeling in the back of his head he had associated with his lost memories.

I'm in no specific rush

If she fits, she sits. And she always fits

Blank didn't have much time to admire his new friend as the boulder crashed through the trees. Nikki got Blin out of the way, and Sera was far enough back that she wasn't affected much. With his nausea gone, her drew his sword on instinct, closing his fingers gently around the ball of light that seemed to have cured him, and as he got ready for combat, he felt a vague sense of savage loyalty and trust from it. He drew strength from it, allowing the feeling to suffused his body.

"Get back!" He shouted at the others, charging forward to face the direction the stone flew from. He set himself, turning sideways and raising the sword parallel to the ground, and waited. Anything that wanted to get to them had to go through them, and he felt confident they wouldn't find it pleasant.

@shylarah
To be fair, in Mom's post there was enough time for the feeling to "threaten to drive Nikki and Blank to their knees"

Unquiet

Yeah, but there are other people in the RP, one of which is standing just on the other side of the hallway

Unquiet

I want to post again really bad, but that would be rude...
