Persona ~ Alone at Sea (PERSONA WITH A BOAT 𓊝)

It seemed before Victoria could get a hold of all of her faculties, that someone crawled over to her.

The boy, probably more distressed than she was, showed it in a way that was far more assertive and pleading. Her grip on her legs seemed to loosen as his words, eschewed together like they were taped together with gum, seemed to distract her from her own awful anxiety. It was a thing that in a less distressing situation she may have smiled at the fact someone was caring about her, about noticing her. She wasn’t invisible. However, she was on a sub-tropical island in the middle of nowhere after being pushed into British waters.

This was not a situation she could shake so easily.

“Uh-”

That is until he asked her if she saw what he saw–if he felt what he felt. And then it came to his neurotic pleading to know that everything was real and he wasn’t dead. Assuming insanity was something Victoria hadn’t ruled out, but given their entire surroundings and the facts of the situation it seemed that they were not all having delusional fits. Logically, one could surmise that they had been taken from England to somewhere in the South Pacific. But that would also imply that anything that happened between point a and point b made any sense. Logic was out of the window. Though, perhaps she could apply logic to help the boy in front of her?

She held out her hand.

And she smacked him as hard as she could.

“There. You’re real. See?” Somehow the smile she doubted she could muster appeared on her face.

And so the games began.

If one could call the first dance of the qualifiers any sort of game to begin with. Eli wasn’t particularly impressed, with his hands still buried in his pockets as he looked onward as eight commoners made their way to the arena floor.

The game was stacked against them. With the nobility guaranteed for entry in the second or third round, it allowed men to rest on their laurels as the children of peasants, craftsmen, and merchants dueled for a place in the ranks of a knight. They had everything to lose and everything to gain. In contrast to nobles who had nothing to lose and nothing to gain, it created a stark contrast that Eli noticed pretty clearly. Eli would have to remain bored while he waited his turn and the commoners were whittled down to a small number, before ultimately having their limited stamina tested by people like him who had to wait their turn due to archaic rules and principles that skewed the idea of becoming a knight a noble privilege. A sigh left his breath; it was neither particularly fair or fun.

His fellow nobles to his left and right couldn’t have possibly thought this was the proper way to showcase skills was it? Eli didn’t look at either of them, whoever they may have been, and uttered a comment that was as bored as it was annoyed.

“Doesn’t seem fair.” He mused, “They get to have fun and showcase their skills while we sit and wait our turn.”

Persona ~ Alone at Sea (PERSONA WITH A BOAT 𓊝)

Victoria Yarwood wasn’t afraid of the water.

She was afraid of many things, but never had she felt particularly despondent towards the ocean. However, the atmosphere of her new surroundings had made her rethink that fear almost instantaneously.

“I-”

The shrill scream of Sofia as she fell to the ground caused Victoria to take pause with her own thoughts. They had plunged themselves to the deep and had ended up in a place that made no sense, a place that all logical conclusions in her mind resisted. The United Kingdom could not support sub-tropical flora or weather, even with the advent of climate change, so Victoria too was very confused and rattled by the sudden change in her environment. She grabbed her knees tightly as she sat on the ground, shaking, however subtly. Her anxiety felt like a domino that was cascading in a loop.

The waters around the academy certainly had a sick sense of humor, but Victoria, well, she didn’t find it very funny. She subtly rocked back-and-forth in her position, looking down at the ground as she did so. She must’ve looked like she had entirely shut down to anyone who was looking her way.

It was warm in the City of Grayle.

The fifteen-year-old sighed as he stood, hands buried in his pockets as he looked all around him. Elidthianis Hawke had come from The Aerie, not the first of his visits to Grayle but of those he could count on one hand.

The journey had been one of duplicitous debate, and people continued to criticize him in many forums. The son of a marquess, and second-in-line to inherit, but also fated with the gifts of both aura and that of the Absolute, there had been a hefty weight attached to Eli’s ankle on what seemed like forever. It had only been six years since his hair turned white as snow and his powers revealed themselves at the worst time possible. If you asked him, those languishing six years felt like six hundred.

To be the Absolute and reject the Sages. To be the heir to the Marquess of the North and refuse responsibility. To be an Aura user and despise the idea of destiny. They were all unlikely and unpopular choices, but to have them all simultaneously? It was unheard of. That said, there had been one favorable decision Eli had made that those who looked down upon him with envy and shame to think positively of his future. He had wished to become a knight. As much as he didn’t think much of fate or destiny or even responsibility, Eli seemed to be walking the path of a would-be hero with the chagrin to defend the realm. In reality, Eli’s intentions were however less noble. The reason Eli wished to become a knight was not out of some devotion to Grayle or honorable devotion, it was merely a means to an end. The best fighters in Grayle were knights. The best masters of the weapon arts were knights. On top of that, being a knight would allow him the independence to do as he wanted instead of being bullied by the sages or his father’s court.

It would allow him to be himself.

“My name is Elidthianis Hawke. I am from The Aerie, of the Silvercrest Mountain Vale, second son of Gandimere Hawke and Rimillie Edenbridge, and I wish to become a knight.”

The words still echoed in his mind. The questions in applying himself were all a formality. While he would’ve liked his skill with a blade to determine his place among the knighthood, he knew that there was no possibility he would not become one. The prestige of his house on top of his role as this generation’s Absolute ascertained that he would be and it ascertained that people would try to manipulate him to their whims. He knew this clearly, despite his disinterest in book learning he was quite adept with people and understanding their intentions. He wasn’t an idiot or a fool, so he knew he would have to keep his wits sharpened and eyes open when deciding to move forward with his goals to master the blade and fight great fights.

Still, he was nervous and ridden with the anxiety of anticipation.

Most of all, he was smiling.

“Not a problem at all.”

After moving upstairs Mako would find the three rooms all with the number they represented on each individual door. As someone who picked room three, it was naturally the room furthest in the back, away from the stairwell.

A singular bed, cabinet, and table would occupy the room inside with a curtained window sitting parallel to the door itself. Through the windowpane one could see the bulk of the small town, though as late it was getting making out much would prove to be difficult. In a world without electricity the only thing that illuminated was the glow of a lantern or the stars themselves. It would take getting used to, especially for someone who was used to the amenities of a city. The sights of Tokyo would forever be etched in memory. As she attempted to settle in for the night then came a voice out of nowhere, like a gunshot.

“You're still alive. That's good.”
