♕ 002 | Video;

[Like during her first transmission, Minako seems slightly fatigued.

She seems to be out and trying to keep some peace even with all the refugees flying into fits of rage and all. Right now though she's sitting down to try and regain her breath.] Has anyone figured out what's up with all of them?

[She dodges out of the way then, as one such person flies by, knocked out by a creature in the background. Minako seems to pay it no mind though, instead taking a break from talking to the network to go and tie the now unconscious person up. Wouldn't want the man to wake up and go back to going on a rampage after all. She returns to the book moments later to continue.]

At this rate I think we'll all tire out.... [She seems worried.]

If anyone needs to be healed by the way, send a holler my way! Soldiering on seems to be all we can do for now and uninjured is definitely the best mode of operation... [She's trying to keep light-hearted here, even if she's really worried...]

...Whoa whoa whoa. Run that one bit by me again.

[She tilts her head a bit.]

Huh? [Gotta be more specific than that!]

The bit about tiring. I think you might be onto something there, sister!

Well, it kind of says itself that people will become fatigued if this keeps up much longer... [If only the same could be said for the berserk people.]

Which probably means whoever set this crap up is probably gonna try and attack sometime soon. Damnit, this is no good. We gotta figure out who's behind all this pronto.

[... That sounds like a frighteningly possible plan for who ever is behind this all.] You've got a point.

[And then a pause.] I think the best would be if someone continues knocking these people out and tries to figure out of things, and the rest should rest in case of an attack later...

It'll thin our forces out a little, but it's not like we can let these guys do as they want either.

Shtooop being shoooo loud...

[Lancer is currently lying on his back, still half dazed from his earlier bout of berserk rage.]

Wha' happened?

[This is definitely a look of worry Lancer and she's trying to see if she can recognize the area he's in from the video, though making out details besides 'ground' is kinda difficult when he's lying down like that.] Lancer, do you know where you are right now? Are you okay?

[Please say yes. It would be so chaotic to run around trying to search for him because lying down like that and seeming kind of out of it when people are flying into blind rage left and right? Not a good idea.]

[He does his best to turn his aching head and survey his surroundings.]

I dunnoooo. Ish all shmashed up...Ugh.

[Indeed, from what little his shaking notebook broadcasted, he seemed to be surrounded by rubble.]

D' anybooody get the numbaaaa of tha' taaaank?

[Okay, definitely getting worried now.]

... Could you try to hold the notebook up so I can take a look at the surroundings?

[If not she is definitely going looking for him. No way she can just leave him like that.]

[He holds the notebook up as best as he can. However, it still shakes a little. From this angle, it shows Lancer as the only thing relatively unscathed. Though he seems to be out of it, everything else had been reduced to an unrecognizable crater of rubble.]

Hell if I know where I am. Last thing I know I was fighting those berserking civilians and...

[He stops. He had started getting annoyed. Then angry. And then...]

[A funny look comes over his face as he realizes something.]

Oh, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck....

[Well, at least she knows she's looking for a crater of rubble. She'll have to ask around with the civilians if they know where it is too- Either way she's on the move now.

At that drawn out curse, she looks down at the book.] Is something wrong?

N-noshing...nooot right now, it sheeemsh.

[He presses a hand to his head.]

Jeeeeesht don't come near me for a whiiile. I have no idea when I'll shnap again.

[Snap again?

Well, that's worrisome, but...] I can't just leave you there.

[Definitely not her style. He's another person brought here to defend the place after all, so even if she doesn't know him well, he's still an ally, and it's not like her to just ignore anyone in need of help.]

Look, I sometimes have these...anger issues.

[His head is starting to clear up, so it should be a good sign.]

And I snap. I...end up doing some crazy shit when I snap. More likely to turn me into a danger to everyone else than to myself because I'm crazy tough. My head's still foggy right now, so wait a few minutes before coming for me. Or else I'd snap and trying to kill you or something.

Alright... [It'll take her a while to find him anyway, but she'll be careful when she does considering how worried he seems about it.] I'll be careful.

[He turns off his notebook and lowers his arm. His head is clearing up more and more, so by the time she arrives, he will most likely be completely sane again.]

[It takes her a little while, having to stop and ask around every now and then, but eventually she does arrive and approaches rather slowly.] Lancer?

[The good news is that his head is clear. The bad news is that he still aches all over. Nevertheless, he still tries to sit up to greet her. As he does so, he can swear he hears every one of his joints popping.]

Yo.

[Minako rushes over to his side because hey- He seems calm enough. She helps him sit up, crouched by his side and hand on his back for support.]

Are you hurt anywhere? [She's definitely in leader mode right now, looking him over for visible injuries.]

Nah, just sort of stiff.

[As if to prove it, he stands up. However, he staggers a bit because of the sudden movement.]

[Well, she's glad he's not hurt at least and stands with him when he gets up, reaching out to support him. She might be small compared to him, but even so.]

We should get you somewhere safe for now. Doesn't look to me like you'll be moving around a lot for a little while.

Don't worry. I've done this before. Just...not in a long time. I'll even help you look for people who need help.

I appreciate it. [Really, everyone needed all the help they could get.]

But if you're tired and in pain you're going to get in the way. [A little harsh, she knows, but. The safety of both him and others was at stake here, not to mention she was familiar with the type of person who wants to keep going even when it's better not to.]

I could try to heal you, but considering how you're not actually injured... [She wasn't sure if it would help with just pain. She'd give it a shot if he wanted her to, but...

It certainly wouldn't help with fatigue though.]

I'll shrug this off in a few seconds.

[He straightens up and smiles at her.]

See? Now, let's get to the people who actually need it.

Well... [All the help they could get was kind of necessary...]

Fine. But any sign that you're not up to it and I'm going to ask you to go get some rest, okay? [She gives him a stern look then because she's serious here.] With people flying into fits of rage like they are, it's better to be careful so no one gets injured.

[Of course as she says this she's retrieving her naginata ~~which really looks more like a spear anyway~~ and swinging it up over her shoulder for now.] Shall we go?

[No way is she letting him wander off on his own. She might not be a leader or anyone important in this city, but she she does know to not let someone who not too long ago was lying in a pile of rubble without energy to move much wander off on their own.]

[He nods. He can see how serious she is about all this.]

I'll sit down if it gets to be too much.

[But given that he's a Servant, he should be fine after a while.]

Yeah. Let's go.

[He throws a look at her spear.]

Nice choice of weapon.

I meant 'go home and get some sleep'. [Kinda difficult, she knows. She hasn't exactly been sleeping a lot ever since all this started. More sleeping when she could and otherwise being on patrol to knock out and tie up any berserk person she found.]

... Thanks? [That's new as far as compliments go. But she always has been rather fond of this weapon- Maybe because it was fused with one of her Personae, but still.]

Oh, and don't freak out if you see me using this, by the way. [She pats the evoker that's holstered at her hip.]

It's not a real gun, so.

What? It's rare to see someone actually appreciate the best class of weapon ever invented.

[Now he's look down at the gun.]

Oh? Then what is it?

Really?

[She can't really comment much on that- S.E.E.S. members aside, weapons aren't really commonly used among people back where she's from.

When he asks about the evoker, she looks down at it, head tilted.]

... Hard to explain. I could show you though.

Yeah, it has the best reach out of all weapons, and depending on the move, can be used as a blade or a staff or even a projectile. It's like four weapons in one.

[She should be able to tell that he holds some interest in this.]

Go ahead.

[Obviously he really likes the weapon type- Well, she doesn't comment on it, instead pulling her evoker from the holster at her hip, and lifts it up, before pressing it to the side of her head and then quickly and without hesitation pulling the trigger.

The sound of a gunshot rings out, along with a sound that's reminiscent of breaking glass before there's a rush of blue energy as Orpheus takes form behind her, remaining still as she hasn't been ordered to attack anything.]

[Oh shit, oh shit, what the fuck is she doing?]

[He moves to stop her, but she is too quick. He watches in horror as his ally seemingly shoots herself in the head.]

[Only the sound isn't right. It certainly doesn't sound like a gunshot. Instead, there's the sound of breaking glass. Neither has Minako's head exploded. Instead, there is just a flash of energy before some form starts hovering above her.]

Woah.

[Remember that warning to not freak out? Yeahhh...

Either way, Minako offers a small smile.] Lancer, meet Orpheus. One of my Personae.

[The Persona remains quiet, staying where she is for now, and making no move at all. She does seem to be watching him, but... It's kind of hard to tell and all.]

H-hi...

[He looks toward Minako.]

Is she...like a familiar or something?

She's part of me. A part of my psyche, I guess?

[Explaining a Persona to someone who is not a Persona user is kind of hard.] I can just call upon her or others to fight for me.

[A shrug then- To her using them is pretty natural, though she supposes to others it might be kind of weird. The way to summon them especially.]

Sooo...a personified split personality?

Sort of? I mean, she's separate in a way, but she's also the same as me.

[She's thoughtful now, trying to decide on how to best explain it. No one had ever really asked her these kinds of questions before.] It's not like I just randomly have a lot of split personalities or anything...

So a personified version of some part of you.

[The mechanics of it all are starting to make his head ache.]

What does this lady do?

[It's better not to think about it.]

Well, she's not the strongest, but she's pretty good at using that lyre to send people flying at least. [Pause.]

Along with a weak fire spell, and one that weakens enemies for a little while.

So she's mostly a melee fighter? What's her range?
