April 11th/Tuesday/Sunny
As morning graced the youths of Nichibotsu, Johnathan heared the sound of his alarm clock blaring in the early morn. With an immediate grasp, Johnathans hand had grasped the clock and immediately flicked it off, sitting upright from the futon which he was sleeping in. It was just then he realized something... This was probably the first time he had not overslept... It was also probably the first time his first intention wasn't to grab the scissors... instead he gripped the alarm clock to shut it off and sit upright, intent on living today, the suicidal thoughts he once had, had all but vanished... This new power he was granted, the power of the Persona, the power to save the world, the power to help people. In trust this was all he really wanted, and would be careful in using its power wisely. This way people may actually take him more seriously, or at least look up to him, instead of him having to look up to everyone else. He could finally give to the world around him.
Johnathan pondered about the previous day, happy to know his new friends could support him, even if he did have a terrible past and was a homosexual, he didn't think people like that ever existed in the world but, it just so happened there was! Johnathan couldn't help but blush and smile, stretching the smile as far as it could go, he held back tears of joy. He knew it couldn't be a dream, he wasn't delusional, this was real, and he was ready to put his life on the line for the joy his friends have just gave him.
Johnathan thought about yesterday and was glad Ms. Sasaki was perfectly fine, though she didn't remember what had happened, perhaps it was for the best, after all, the last thing nichibotsu needs is a widespread panic, and fear would only trouble the people and all who inhabit it. Johnathan had experiences and displayed happiness that Ms. Sasaki was perfectly well, completely ignoring the passed out bastard of a teacher beside her, like he didn't exist. By the time the group left the hospital, after spending time with their teacher, Kazuo talked of the calamity, and how they would have to use their persona's to stop it, and asked, a rather silly question, claiming would they help him save the world, Johnathan remembers clearly what he said that day.
He laughed, tears swelling in his eyes and said.
"Ask me any other day, and I probably would be too much of a scaredy cat to do that... But since everyone here accepted me... I finally think I can be myself... I don't have to hide behind fake walls... I have you guys here with me... Just as i'm here for all of you. So I think it's only fair... that my wish to help people... and not become a user comes true. If I saved the world- no... If I save even just one life... I ... Think I can die as an old man happily." Johnathan stood up and actually decided to get dressed, picking up a pair of worn, rusty, ominous scissors close to his bedside, he figured he would have no need for such dark tools anymore and confidently threw the scissors into the trash where it belonged, he was going to live and save everyone, he had to, it was what he wanted to do. Thus, Johnathan got into his uniform, attended class, eventually concluding the days teachings, it was time he got with spending the rest of his time himself, with confidence.
Game club
Johnathan always loved videogames. He would play them day and night to experience his life in another world, for escapism, and the joys they gave him in terms of story, music and character rung a pleasant tune in his head. The pudgy male happily spent time playing a few games like boardgames, videogames and other games with the others in the room and before he even knew it, the three hours had already passed, and Johnathan was on his way, happy.
(Because of his compatible arcane being Devil, Johnathan gains + 2 arcana points, and puts them toward the devil arcana.)
Cafe Fortuna
After leaving his club, John decided to go get changed and dress up appropriately for going out. Despite him being shy, he wanted to show a little more confidence and set out to the lower downtown district to the Cafe, to get a bit of reading and writing done. Johnathan confidently headed to the cafe, and sat there a while, four hours in fact, simply reading a book he had in his possession about the tale of a pink alligator. The words on every page had his eyes leashed to them, and couldn't pull away, having four cups of tea as he sat there, dreaming and enjoying as the cafe got ever so darker, but lit up with cool, loving lights, staying there until the staff allowed him to leave. Noticing the time, Johnathan apologized and left, paying his bill of 1200 yen, he left and returned to his dorm room to go to bed, however the experiences he felt during that day grew something within him... a new power.
(0.5 X 4 = + 2 arcana points put toward devil = 4 points allowing him to rank up to Rank 1 devil, putting him back to 0 points rank 1, I assume. will edit later after I ask about the devil arcana persona)
