"After getting my promotion and drinks on the me with Royal and a few others who were near by and tagged along, (unnamed but you can fill the role if you want as one of them) I was on my way back to my place, a condominium of sorts in a near by town, I was approached by a figure. I was too drunk to see the details clearly but sober enough to fly myself home. I heard the figure begin to speak. The voice sounded vaguely familiar, perhaps someone I met when I arrived or someone from Royal's bar." I turn to fully face the figure and ask for them to speak up. "Can you say that again? I had too much to drink so I'm a bit out of it right now. Do you need something?" The figure replied.

"I said... Do you need any help getting home!" Royal said, waving his hand in front of Johnathan's face. "Cause you're wasted!"
-
"Oh sorry. Sure. In case I pass out on the way someone with me would help." I reply. "thanks royal. I've had a long day."
-
"I know, buddy. I was there!" Royal said with a laugh, walking besides his student towards his home.
-
"I was always have been curious about a few things, but never went through with asking. Maybe its the alcohol and skooma talking or that we have gotten to be good enough friends to be comfortable asking but, I know almost nothing about you, why do you have a different personality, attitude, and aura every time we run into each other or meet up? Only reason I could think of is that your mind is just a mass of different personalities, outlooks, and consciousnesses, inhabiting one body. Is it something like that or do you not even know yourself what you want to come across as. Ir are you not even aware of why yourself?"
-
"For a drunk man, you ask very philosophical questions! I like that about you." Royal said with a laugh, clapping Johnathan's back. "10,000 years of life. You create a family. Brothers and sisters in Arms, you develop some things that make them. You become somewhat like them." "It's supposed to be that your find People you are comfortable with." "I've met many great men, many terrible men. It's all in my mind. So... I just don't remember who I really was."
-
"I wanted to know. Apparently, other people avoid or ignore you. When I was younger, anyone who knew me aside from all of 5 people and my late family, People who know me at all either absolutely detested me, or only were kind to me out of pity and sympathy. I was wondering if you understand how that feels? Maybe that's why I hang out and work with you so often. Maybe we had that in common. Maybe it has something to do with your past."
-
"Its more of a premeditated thought that I never actually asked. It's more of being more willing to ask. I thought through ever word of it months ago."
-
"Nah that was bull." Royal said with a hearty laugh. "I can't believe you fell for that." He said, continuing to laugh loudly. "Honestly though? Never noticed what you're talking about. Always thought I had a way of thinking, ya know? Just.. Go with the flow. What happens, happens."
-
"Maybe its one of those things that you aren't fully aware of. I have struggled with those behaviors. If not for my near death trauma, I would be still struggling with that. As the cold calculating and cautious attitude I have now, and my give no -blam!-s and get shit done mindset, I really see why I had all of two friends. Maybe something or someone could catalyze an awareness of it."
-
"Meh. I'm not looking for clarity, and I'm certainly not trying to find myself. I like who I am. The way I am. If anyone doesn't like me, I'll shoot 'em."
-
I make a note to self. Don't mention how he is the text book definition of every individual disorder in the book. I didn't realize that I was think out loud. Drink responsibly kids.
-
"Anyways." Royal said, awkwardly as he moved on from the topic. "How's your joy coming along?"
-
"Well, I felt any emotion other than self disappointment and anger briefly, but not anything since. Still, that was enough to remind me that I am still alive."
-
"Well of course you are. Other wise you wouldn't be talking to me." Royal said, with another chuckle.
-
(You still there?)

Edited by Jovis Joesun: 8/14/2017 1:32:34 AMI struggle to show the grin at his joke, I try to loosen up for once and joke along but I end up making an O-face, rolling my eyes back in my head and my face becomes discolored. I only managed to say one sentence before passing out. "This is why I never smile." I wake up in a nearby health clinic strapped to the bed. A nurse walks in with Royal. "Why am I strapped to the bed and whats with that thirsty look on the nurse's face? How long was I out and what did they do to me? The nurse says "Because I like my men strapped down." I reply, "I would have been more ok with this if you'd asked. I'm kinda into BDSM myself. How dare you do anything to me with my consent or me being aware of the experience. No one ever been interested in by a woman. You took my..." Royal cuts me off...
-
"Johnathan will you quiet down please?" Royal said, rather loudly to calm him down. "Miss thirst over here hasn't touched you. You fell into unconsciousness, so I took you to the hospital."
-
"Ever since the second round of drinks, I'd been fighting a psychological attack. I was sure you felt it. If I didn't pass out drunk when I did, I would given in. Whoever it was withdrew for some reason. When I came to, the same psychic signature from before was back and even stronger. And it was originating from her!"
-
"I'm sure it's nothing, Johnathan. You're probably still hungover from earlier." Royal said.
-
" God I hope I'm right about this. If I'm wrong this will be awkward and probably get me in trouble." I tear the nurse outfit away, revealing her to be a succubus. "You were saying? Don't tell me you give in before you noticed!"
-
"Huh. Always wondered why guys were so in love with Julie."
-
I stagger around the room, unable to see clearly. I fumble to retrieve a case from my pocket. I manage to retrieve a vial of Phoenix tears. After using it, my wounds heal, my hangover is cured and my stamina restored. I spread my wings and call out my Sacred Gear. "I should have made sure I didn't get myself into this situation in the first place. Should have incapacitated you until I deal with her, Royal. I would have used one of my Phoenix tears on you once I finished this." I take up a fighting stance. The room feels tense and hostile. So no one can intervene, I use my magic to turn this room into a separate pocket dimension. That way, no outside interference and no damage we do to the room will carry over once the space closes.
-
Royal, trapped outside of the pocket dimension immediately tries finding a way inside.
-
(It was to trap the three of us but whatever, I'll roll with it) I waste no time in attacking. She is much faster than I can keep up with, but she couldn't seem to land a noticeably effective strike. I immediately forced Longinus through her skull, causing a mass of energy to expand outwards, breaking the dimensional barrier and ragdolling every individual in a 3 kilometer radius. The blast itself was just psychic energy. All it did was throw those affected backwards and break any control she had. Or so I thought. I did sense that Royal was returning to normal, she wasn't dead. That blast was her way to increase her attack capabilities by cutting any influence she had on others. The barrier was damaged to the point where it now only prevented entry. I had to finish this. This boost quickly began to overwhelm my defenses. I had no choice but to disable the barrier. I can't win on my own at this point. If I fail others will be at risk and I will die but if I can get help, we might win. I released the barrier to let Royal in. "I no longer sense her magic's effects on you. I need your help."
-
[spoiler]Whoops. Thought you meant that Royal was outside.[/spoiler] Royal rushed into the barrier, glancing at Johnathan. "You realize I'm immune to most physic attacks, right?" He asked, as his blade formed in his hands. It glowed with an energy that Johnathan did not recognize. In fact, he didn't even recognize the color it gave off. Clearly, it was powerful. Royal dashes forward, slashing his blade through the Succubus' stomach in an attempt to cut her in half.
