[reaquila]

You're right, I am surprised!! Thought you'd assume I was crazy, but that's not the case.

[Nanashi shakes his head at that.]

It's fine. Kinda figured that he was in some trouble. Akira's doing lot better now so it's okay.

[fabrefactions]

No. It would be somewhat hypocritical of me if I did.

[ ... ]

Yes, well. He does continue to display some self-sacrificing habits, but ... we did have a good talk with him earlier in the month. I hope some of it sunk in.

[reaquila]

For his sake, I hope it sunk in too.

[Welp. It's not his place to ask for too much info, so Nanashi leaves it at that. ]

Do you want to meet my demon friend? I can call him here.

[Summoning a demon doesn't take a whole lot of effort. Yusuke might be interested in meeting Caladrius for all he knows. Won't hurt to ask. ]

[fabrefactions]

We will see. There are plenty of people to remind him, though.

[ ... Oh. ]

Yes?

[ Is it like summoning a Persona, he can't help but wonder. ] I would like to see him.

[reaquila]

[Nanashi stretches his hand outwards and a blueish magic circle forms under them. A demonic bird appears before Yusuke a moment after. It might remind him of persona summoning. ]

This is Caladrius.

[It looks pretty harmless for a demon. ]

Come say hi!

[fabrefactions]

[ Yusuke's eyes go a little wide - it is similar, enough to surprise him, but there are more than enough differences to tell him this isn't the same as a Persona summoning.

But there's no fear as he approaches. ]

Oh, a bird. Does it have a specific element?

[ Like Goemon, and ice. Or Ann's Carmen and her fire powers. ]

[reaquila]

A specific element ? When I read his status it told me that he's got an affinity towards healing.

[He can read up information on his demons via smartphone. Thanks SMT.]

I'm not too sure what his deal is. Akira mentioned that my demons were similar to Persona.

[Seems like a lot of people are persona users so he mentions it as if it were a common thing.]

[fabrefactions]

Yes, that would be the comparison I would draw. Personas tend to have specialised elements though, as well as affinities for magic or physical abilities.

[ Goemon is a fighter, primarily. But can still use ice attacks. He can tell he difference in strength between the two though - what Goemon is more proficient in. ]

[reaquila]

How would you learn about persona affinities?

[Do they just find out eventually or is it knowledge that's already there? ]

They don't tell you these things, do they?

[He doesn't get how Personas completely work. ]

[fabrefactions]

When you get hit by an element your Persona is weak too and you hit the dirt.

[ IT'S SAID KINDA DEADPAN. ]

Also logic. If you have a fire based Persona, it will likely be weak to ice.

[reaquila]

That's how it works for you? You figure it out as you go along?

[Ouch. ]

My demon friend here is weak to dark magic and gun attacks. I guess it must be because he's a bird.

[You could easily blow a bird out of the sky with bullets.]

[fabrefactions]

Most of the time, from what I remember. Figuring out enemies weaknesses was a guessing game until there was more information available.

[ Hmm. That makes sense. ]

Strange, but logical, these weaknesses.
