tinybreezeMinato walked past Kazuya a smile clear as day on his face. "Perhaps that is why I find your inviting.." He softly stated, his eyes now focused on the ice ahead. He couldn't help but speak up, the topic was of interest. "You harbor a demon? Possession, contract, accident?" He raised a brow.

AuranskyMinato was smiling. That was new. "It's more like I 'absorbed' them. I guess you could say that they're a part of me," Kazuya explained. Demon fusion came to mind, although he still kept his original form, and could summon said demons. The more he thought about it, the more confusing it got. He looked up at the frozen piles of "display items." Ice covered them, as well as the walls and floor anound them. The drops of water dripping from a frozen flamingo statue told him that the ice had been melting for a while. "Look." Kazuya stepped onto the ice, trying not to slip, and pointed at a few indents and shards of broken ice. "Someone must have broken this part. They were probably partly frozen at the time."

mintedstar/fur AuranskySnake nodded, looking at Sally, then at Lelouch as he continued on. He wasn't really sure where to lead them anymore, and he would have thought that he had been leading them in circles until he heard a crunch. The hybrid paused, blinking as he looked down at the flood. He noticed the greenish stone and frowned. He was really hoping that Sally was wrong about her prediction, but it did seem to be the most logical reason. "Yes, a group was here not too long ago," he paused for a moment, kneeling down to get a better view. "And they headed that way, says Keats." Snake looked up slightly, pointing off towards where the path continued. The footman straightened up again, glancing st the group again with a shrug. There was a possibility that whatever had attacked was still around, but hopefully not.

tinybreeze "Absorbed them?" Minato turned around briefly to lean forward at the thought. "That in a sense reminds me of the wildcard ability which allows me to summon various personas." He recalled. "Do you actually transform into those demons yourself, or do you summon them as a retainer to its master?" He asked, then shifted his attention back towards the ice up ahead, sliding a foot lightly on the ice itself, "For us...Persona's are manifestation of shadows which only a select few can come to tame as their alter egos of sorts. We don't become them, instead we summon them as an extension of ourselves." He scratched his nose lightly at the thought. To him the concept was a normal reality norm, but now discussing it with someone else, the idea seemed a bit complex in itself. "Funny-I'm explaining this..." He lowered his head a bit. "No-It's funny, that I'm talking to someone." He lightly chuckled, "In such a short time I have forgotten what this feels like.." Returning his full attention to the ice he tapped it lightly, "Should we leave the ice be, or would you like for me to melt the remaining ice?" He asked with eagerness. "If you think there might be something it might be worth taking a look." He offered.

AuranskyKazuya tilted his head. How long had Minato been a "seal," anyway? If Kazuya was in a similar state, he wouldn't have fared well. "I can summon them, but I can also call upon their abilities, such as their fire powers. Speaking of which, I could melt the ice to demonstrate. Unless you want to, of course," he replied, summoning a small flame in the palm of his hand. It wouldn't hurt to investigate the pile, especially if Sable's Life could be in it. Then again, he didn't even know what it looked like...

broken mintedstar/fur((Waiting for mint :3 )) tinybreeze Minato nodded in interest, "That's very different then us Persona users. We can't use the abilities-we simply direct our Personas." He continued shifting his foot against the ice. He waved an inviting hand towards Kazuya, "I would enjoy to see your demonstration." He smirked. "I wont get in your way." He backed away from the ice, just enough so he wouldn't get caught in the moment.

AuranskyKazuya stepped off the ice and took a deep breath. He could hear someone calling him- Belial, probably. At least he'd have a little support. He lifted a hand towards the mass of ice. "Maragidyne!" At the demon lord's words, a flame burst outwards, spreading out to consume the ice. It was a bit weaker than expected, likely due to his disrupted connection or the effects of the museum, but it still retained most of its intensity. As the fire died down, only soggy piles of the once-frozen objects were left.

tinybreeze"Impressive.." Minato complimented Kazuya's demonstration. After the ice was mainly melted, he walked over the now water coated items. There was a bit of things, things that as before still made no sense. "Regardless of whether or not we find something, I know for certain that we can handle our own." He nodded in agreement with himself.

I'll wait for Hime.)) -- Auransky brokenSally grimaced. "Oh, why did you have to suggest that? Well... if you must know, we could get a bird's eye view of this place. Well, bat's eye view. But I hate flying. A lot. You know, don't even ask about how hard it is to control a bunch of different bats all at once, then transform back and give an understandable account of what you saw. Also, you get a craving for bugs. So, please, leave that for a last resort, yes?" Her accent became more pronounced. She looked in the direction Snake indecated. "Ah, might be a good idea to follow them then." She saw that the hybrid seemed a little nervous. "And do not worry," she said as she started walking in the direction that the other group had gone. "It was not another ghost-bird that attacked them. It was the jade statue that did." She kicked out at a piece that looked suspiciously like an ear for a sort of large cat. |

AuranskyKazuya smiled a little. With the two of them together, the musem wouldn't be much of a challenge. He glanced over at a window- why was there a window attached to nothing in the museum?- before picking up a white feather. It seemed to have been part of a broken fan. It felt bitterly cold to the touch. "Maybe this is what caused the ice..." he muttered. After the rubber ball from earlier, a magic fan wasn't out of the question. "We might want to be careful about what items we pick up. Some of them have strange effects."

mintedstar/furLelouch snapped out of his flashback frenzy, his eyes clear in confinement to Sally's comment. "Bats eye view?" He repeated softly , listening to her. oh! That's what she meant! He waved his hands and shook his head rapidly, "I don't mean it in that sense. While that is perhaps the easiest way, im referring to a higher level, control room, sister control rppm, or a spot where we can securely hide in knowing that that nearby corridors are used by others. We would be able to listen in and between ourselves label friend from foe." He walked towards the other end of the room careful not to step on the glass, "if we find cameras or mics I can haywire them from scratch and eventually -after we find a place that'll be our base of sorts. Use that to listen in on other things." @tinyreeze The window was rather strange, then again everything here was out of place. The window releasing ice, brought back a fragment of The dark hour. It was a simple flash of memories but more then enough to recall the horrid 25th hour. "Right-let's be careful." He agreed. " nothing here, so we should probably press on. "

(It looks neat! It's also kinda funny how two groups of people have passed it, but never realized its importance  ) AuranskyKazuya hesitated for a moment, but slowly nodded. He felt like he was missing something, but all he could see was useless items. Maybe he'd find something if he came back later. There were a few ice shards lying farther down the hall. Probably from the person or group that had passed through here. "Let's head this way," he said, stepping over a fallen book as he went. |

(Pastel isn't my best medium...) Auransky broken"Well, this is assuming that there are any 'control rooms,'" said Sally. Then she frowned a little. She couldn't understand very much of what this boy had just said. "What is a camera? Mics? I'm starting to feel like you aren't speaking Ankh-Morporkian." Well, he wasn't, but that's watch Sally had been hearing. On the Discworld, trains had just started to be used. There had been a camera, of sorts, but it hadn't been used under that name and had been considered a banned item thanks to all that trouble that it had caused. But that was before Sally's time with the Watch. She made her way after Lelouch, looking back with a touch of confusion at Snake. Did he understand all that? |

(Oh, more than two. Conan's group passed it originally. The Doctor, Master, and Myrnin passed it, as well as Oliver later on when he was tracking Myrnin. Oliver was the one that got the closest to figuring out what it was. It's really close to the entrance to the Museum, so as long as you exit on the right side, you'll probably end up passing it at the very least.)

(Sorry this is so short) Auransky mintedstar/furSnake only blinked at them. Well, that was a fast change in subject. The hybrid barely knew what Lelouch was talking about anymore. He glanced Sally's way with a shrug, then continued forward some more. "I'm not going to lie to you, but I also have no idea what you're talking about. Says Oscar." |

tinybreeze "We can always come back later.." Minato added. Perhaps there was nothing of importance now, but comparing that window to everything else: the window had more properties then everything else. So perhaps that window would provide use, or importance at a later time. Whether it be for defense or offense. He lastly nodded, following after Kazuya, returning to his usualness from before. This time however, his eyes were now slowly starting to stare off to the items to the side, perhaps-this really wasn't an illusion made for amusement. Of course not! Ryouji's voice sank into Minato's thoughts. This time it's different!mintedstar/fur broken "Ah-well don't worry too much about it.." Lelouch quickly apologized to the too. It was becoming more clearer by the discussions that their times, eras and ideals were different. So perhaps he should lay off the conformity and focus on those things himself-when the time would come he wouild be able to physically show the two what he means.

AuranskyReturning to the monotony of the halls gave Kazuya the time to let his mind wander a little. How did he die? He directed that question towards the Bels, although their silence gave few answers. Everything in his memory from the past few days was a haze. He looked up at an angel figurine, which was perched on top of a pile of assorted objects. Kazuya knew for a fact that angels had been involved, but... He sighed. "I don't remember much about my death... Can you remember anything about yours, Minato?"

tinybreezeMinato continued walking down the hall in silence. He was thinking about these demons which Kazuya could access their powers from. It was pretty cool from a bystanders perspective. Persona's had to accessed to tap into their power: as avatars while the user was present. which he could now see the downsides too, but that didn't mean the user was left defenseless either. But still-to summon an ability without actually summoning the entity. that was cool-maybe he could alter that reality for himself with the use of the Universe Arcana.... The price to create his thoughts to reality costed him his life-but it was in order to assure Nyx would never awaken by its creations such as grief, and sorrow. He turned his head to meet Kazuya's gaze. "Well..." he softly stated. "It's complicated, but to bluntly explain.." He considered his words carefully. "I disagreed with a prophecy calling forth the end of reality." He calmly explained. "There's more to it, but I'd rather not.." He admitted his voice softening down.

"I won't pry into it, then," Kazuya said with a shrug. That was all he needed to know. Minato remebered, and he didn't. Speaking of Minato... "By the way, can you still access your Personas here? I've been having trouble contacting the Bels- er, my demons, so I wonder if that interference extends to you as well." As if on cue, another voice echoed faintly in his mind. Jezebel, since it was female. At least they were slightly clearer now. Auransky |

Auransky brokenSally waved away the new subject, wanting to get back to the project at hand. "Snake, you said you can track the group that went through here? I can't tell as easily, as about here," she walked down the hall, pausing as she reached a place a little down the hallway. She looked back, raising an eyebrow. "About here, the person that was injured healed again." The vampire turned back to look down the path, frowning a little. “I can’t track them further than that, what about you?”

tinybreeze"I appreciate it.." Minato closed his eyes briefly, trying to push off the horrid events of The Fall... He took a moment to pull out his phone, just to stare at the clock which still to this day was stuck on March 6th....... Without any reaction, he put the phone quickly away returning his attention to Kazuya. "Ah-" The question now left him wondering. He never actually considered it here. "Persona's can only be accessed during the dark hour." He answered, recalling the good times he was with his friends. "But-like I did earlier I summoned my weapon using that which has sealed my fate. It makes all possibility a reality, but it's funny. To contain the universe costs your life: body and soul. Therefore to have the ultimate power means you can't even use it... but this place here where we are." He extended a hand towards the wall, running a hand along gently. "It feels real, you act different then the dreams I relive or are given to keep me occupied. So here it appears like I am able to tap into my persona's without the dark hour.." He gave a brief smile, before looking away. This discussion was depressing, he didn't want to talk about. He wanted this dream to end so badly, but he himself just admitted this was no dream. This was a form of reality, and he was stuck in it for a while. I want my personal space back...

"Don't worry, I can assure you that I'm real," Kazuya said, smiling. After commanding demons for so long, it felt relaxing to talk with a human for once. Especially one that didn't fear him. He glanced back at the angel figurine again. The memory was taunting him. He could feel it resurfacing, yet just out of reach. He shook his head and kept walking. "I guess anything's possible in this museum. It wouldn't hurt to try summoning a Persona."

tinybreeze((Have fun o/ I'll be forcing myself to finish this research paper)) Minato nodded at the response. "It appears you are real." He acknowledged. He took lead in walking down the hallways now, there was something up ahead which was calling his interest. When suggested about summoning a persona, he raised a hand in objection to the comment. "I-I'd rather not..." He stated, "Unless it's needed, otherwise we're fine." He assured, then resumed his attention down the hall. Something, it's not close but this way.... He could sense it, but couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly.

If we hurry up, we might be able to catch up with them, says Keats." The hybrid blinked his golden eyes, staring at the others with a shrug.

Auransky broken"Good," said Sally, smiling a little. She started walking, following Snake's lead. Her eyes scanned the nearby piles. Something was off, like she knew that something had happened near here. She fell back a little until she was walking alongside Lelouch. "What do you think of the remains of that jade statue?" she asked him. "Does something strike you as odd about it?" (The trail should lead up onto the junk piles, along the top of them, eventually. Since Myrnin wanted to take the path less-traveled. xD Then I think I'll through the onyx dragon back in.)

broken mintedstar/furLelouch reconsidered what he saw in the jadestone a few rooms back. There was something that was striking him odd but without more details there was only so much he could guess. "The real question should be , why was the glass broken? I mean. ... No one would naturally walk up to a piece of glass and break it. Unless it has something inside." He paused , briefly, "it could also be that a fight broke out and the glass was simply there. On the other end, the glass could have been used to fend someone off. Earlier when we were running from the flying abomination, something struck me as odd... It chased us yes. It appeared to have the intention to attack us, but.." HE crossed his arms, " it never once interacted with the items themselves. We were the ones that interacted with the items, not the other way around. So maybe they were used by something, but with not much context I can also be wrong and it could be the other way around. "

AuranskyKazuya shrugged. "If you say so." They probably wouldn't need that Persona power, anyway. The Universe Arcana was enough. Arcana... that was related to... something in fortune telling. Cards, right? He quietly followed Minato. The other teen seemed to be looking for something, so it was best to let him lead. It was better than randomly wandering around.
