FOURTH WALL [video; action for Goldenrod]

[bookmarking]

[This is Clover with her gear, walking and talking at the same time. She rolls her eyes.]

Geez, where'd all these people come from? What the heck, Johto? If you wanted this many p - ow!

[The view jerks downward as she trips over something. The Vulpix walking with her looks up in concern, but she manages to keep from falling onto the ground. However, she does pick up whatever she tripped over.

It's a numbered bracelet. Her eyes widen slowly as she turns it over and over in her other hand. When she speaks, her voice is quiet, almost a little nervous.]

...how'd this get here? Weird.

...really?

[Consider Clover's interest piqued. But knowing Ken's story, she's not going to prod him into summoning his Persona.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Really. [He'll show her if she asks. He doesn't much care. It's a natural thing.]

How does it work? I mean, you don't have to actually use it, just tell me how it goes...

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

I shoot myself in the head with it.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Wh-what?! [/SCREAM.] Wait, it doesn't have bullets, right? I mean, if you die, then there's no point to the summoning...

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

I said it wasn't real.

It looks and sounds it, but I promise I'm not really shooting myself.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Okay...right. But y'know, to the ordinary person, it'd look like you're shooting yourself for real.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Most people wouldn't be able to put a gun to their heads an pull the trigger, so it's almost a test to make sure you can fight.

[GOOD JOB.]

But wouldn't they be able to do so if they knew the gun wasn't loaded at all? Or maybe you don't know that at first when you're tested...

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

... If I handed you a pistol, even if it wasn't loaded, you'd be able to pull the trigger against your forehead?

[He doubts it, Clover. Most people would at least hesitate.]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[She gives it some thought.]

I...could try? [She's definitely hesitating here.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Most people can't.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Good point.

...so basically you put the gun to your head, pull the trigger, and your Persona comes out? Just like that?

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Basically.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

...it seems so deceptively simple. Then again, a lot of things are.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how it works, completely, but... I can show you.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Will it work? Here? And...is it okay with you?

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't it? I don't think they gave me an evoker just for fun.

And I already checked, it's not loaded.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Who knows? But...I gotta admit, I'm a little curious.
