Ugh....

[ The teenager wakes up with a groan, blinking blearily as he looks around. ]

Ugh... I feel nauseous...

[ He looks around, but-- everything is unfamiliar. ]

What the--

[ He stumbles out of bed, and the door-- won't open. With a scowl, he starts slowly tugging on the door. You might even be able to hear the grunting as he struggles to pry it open. ]

Oh geez, all the doors are like this, aren't they?

[surprise help pulling the doors open from the other side!]

Looks like it.

[ Not that he has any idea what anything outside this room is like right now. Oh well, that's not important.

With the two combined, the door opens-- not easily, but far more rapidly than it would have otherwise. He looks at his rescuer. ]

...Thanks. 'ppreciate it.

[You approach with another CHAIR you found in the carriage.]

Do we need to hold this one open too?

No problem! And gosh yeah, the less times we have to open these doors, the better.

Agreed.

[ He levels a scowl at the door. ]

So.

[You look at the tall guy. Well, tall relative to you.]

Do...you know anything about where this is?

[ He's tall compared to a lot of people. ]

Not a damned clue.

[ The words come out gruff and with no small amount of reluctance, but they're honest. ]

That makes three for three on having no idea what's going on. Cool!

[could be sarcastic, but she just sounds stressed. cool cool cool cool cool.]

I'm starting to feel like there's a pretty good chance we were kidnapped.

[This seems like the textbook definition of kidnapping.]

Does anybody know what's going on with the voice in the PA?

Nnnnnnope.

[ He drawls the word out. ]

All I've got so far is "kidnapped and the power's out." Which is pretty self-evident.

We might have been voluntold, but... same difference, really.

I guess maybe we should try and find the.

Prince of Stars guy?

[ The teen looks around the room briefly before nodding. ]

It's as good a start as any.

So what's your guys names?

[You ask idly, not really thinking about what'll happen if you're asked the same question.]

I'm Eliza.

[ Does he really want to admit to having amnesia to a bunch of random strangers? Does he?

The answer is that he definitely does not, but the hesitation in answering is long enough to be noticeable. ]

...Nanashi.

[ This will only fly so long as no one knows Japanese. ]

[You nod along...and slowly come to a realization.]

Uhhh.

I guess I. Don't know mine.

Nice to meet you, Nanashi.

[that was a QUESTIONABLE PAUSE, but accepting it 100%]

Do you want us to call you anything else? Names are good anchors.

[glancing at chara again. it's especially good practice to name your amnesiac ghosts, it's good for their health!]

You don't remember...?

[ The words come out carefully, and he eyeballs the kid curiously. He doesn't see their ghostly companion-- the power of Persona doesn't give him the power to see the dead, not that he remembers having that power anyway. ]

[You shake your head to Nanashi.] Nuh uh. Nothing. We just...woke up in that room and. [You shrug.] That's it.

[You look at Eliza next. You think for a second and rub your head.]

[Then, you shrug again.]

I...can't think of anything.

We could make some suggestions, see if anything sticks? Though if you can't remember your name, of course it's fine not to use one until you do.

Yeah, I can roll with whatever works for you.

[You sure can't think of anything better yourself, so...you nod.]

Okay...go ahead.

[How...exciting?]

[exciting!! quickly rattling off a string of names. she's PRETTY sure she's never used one of these for a summons before, but it's fine who will ever know]

Fili, Kili? Smile, Saber? Junia, Julia? Mackenzie? Sydney? Morgan? Emmy? Kay?
