LOCKED

[effinskull]

Who: Ryuji & Akechi
Where: Genessia arcade but also various
When: In the evening/night time of today
Summary: Ryuji and Akechi run into each other and shit goes down. Ryuji has a Persona awakening because of it.

[man oh man, tonight had been a busy night at the arcade. it was a good thing that he had gotten better at working with all the machines and whatnot. ryuji had been getting along pretty well in this place.... however the thing that bothered him the most? he hadn't been able to summon his persona at all since being here.

sure, he figured that it would never work either way, not like they were in the metaverse or anything. even so, being a phantom thief was apart of him! he really had been missing it a lot. as he thought about this he left the arcade, walking outside after his evening shift had finished up. he yawned, scratching the back of his head as he turned and...

saw akechi coming his way.

ryuji put his hands in his pockets, nodding at him. sure, he was still wary of the guy but... at least he hadn't done anything here. were they friends? no. but they were on okay terms at least.]

'Sup. [eloquent as ever.] What're you doin' around here?

[ Ryuji yearns for it, Akechi hasn't. It's probably the main difference. The envy, however, helps when it comes to one like Loki. It's a fuel. Part of the bond. It makes for a formidable foe when channeled through. The lightning didn't knock it down - but it was a good chunk necessary to get it. Akechi follows it up quickly with brave blade. A harsh slice across the beast, getting one of it's monstrous limbs detached and upsetting the entire balance it has. The breathing sounds like multiple things combined and the smell seeping out of it is intensified. Disgusting.

On his own, he would pull out the heavy hit now to try and end it. But he's smart enough to know when it won't work. Half of what he has does nothing on this thing. It has to be a combo when it's knocked down, right? That was how their team operated. Go all in before it gets up and lunges. He looks to Ryuji, raising an eyebrow and grinning a little. Ready? ]

[ryuji already understands what they need to do before akechi even acted out his plan. once it had been downed, ryuji grinned, even running up to akechi and giving a good slap on his back.]

Let's go all in!

[he didn't have his weapons on him, but at least he did have his persona. he called out the monkey king again, this time going for a physical attack. god's hand time! suddenly a massive fist came crashing down, and hopefully akechi was going to do something at the same time as well!]

[ Akechi leans forward a bit at the slap, as if it might have been harder than Ryuji dished it. A knee-jerkish reaction to not expecting it, with a facial expression of raised eyebrows. Then he nods, serious.

He was doing something. Maragion can be somewhat excessive for a little alley but anything else that would hurt it would attract attention. Setting it aflame so it starts burning while the massive fist crashing down on the beast crushes its bones is certainly effective.

Then shooting the damn thing in the center of its head to put it out of its misery puts an end to that. ]
