Happy Birthday, Dork | Backdated to August 31
Sender: Naoya
To: Everyone
Subject: Birthday boy
My cousin, who recently arrived, has a birthday today. Wishing him a happy birthday is encouraged.
He's 18 now after all. In many places that makes you an adult, Kazuya.
Yes, I know you can see me writing this.

[And yet, it still blows his mind to know that such a thing was possible.]
To think that we need to trick ourselves into summoning Personas based on how we feel at that moment compared to how you can just so it so simply with a device.
no subject
[ He pauses and makes a face. ]
And some of them are real characters, besides.
no subject
[He'd require more study and he's relatively certain that an offer of such is not going to go over well.]
- but demons do have quite a lot of agency. They can't harm their pact partners, but they can do all sorts of things within the confines of a pact. The ones I designed are relatively strict, where the demon can't do anything physically or mentally to harm their summoners.
[Emotionally is free game though.]
no subject
[Because how does one explain that Person was an experiment gone wrong based on a multimillionaire's time machine?]
...But it makes me wonder if Personas could have the ability to turn into demons too should they ever have some kind of agency.
[...Or maybe he was overthinking this?]
no subject
Though something would probably be pretty wrong if your soul turned on you...
no subject
[He looks at Kazuya at that. Stranger things indeed...]
no subject
...Then I suppose you better watch out. Let's hope that my Persona won't turn into a demon one day.
[Which he highly doubts but was he being serious or not? That was up to them to decide!]
no subject
If that happens I'll just have to beat it into submission.
[He shrugs.]
no subject
[Or rather, all of them. Still!]
Though if it does, I'm sure there are plenty of people around here willing to capture it.
no subject
Which makes me a little worried how you'll manage to fight me should the day arrive.
no subject
[He says, with a completely straight face.]
Naoya too, probably.
no subject
[What a fine young man Ken is. So far.]
no subject
[He said before eying Naoya because he definitely knows not to mess with him!]
no subject
Kazuya will remember this. ]
Let's make sure that doesn't happen then, yeah? I don't really like the thought of turning my demons against people anyway.
no subject
Nor do I, unless it's necessary. The idea is... distasteful, to say the least.
[And Ken seems like a good kid, so he wouldn't really want to fight him unless he had to.]
no subject
B-But anyway, I think we might be done here? Is there anything else you want to do, Kazuya-san?
[Because he would much rather not continue to talk about fighting friends (again)!]
no subject
The look doesn't last too long, though, just enough bewilderment before Ken speaks and Kazuya turns his attention to him with a small hum of consideration. ]
Ah... I don't think so?
no subject
Then why don't you two go out and do something? There's plenty of places to explore. And it's not as if I've been able to show you more than the basics.
no subject
[And you know, he doesn't want to say here any longer and cause even more trouble!]
no subject
Sure. I did ask for you to show me around after we got done annoying Naoya.
[ He nods, lifting a hand to wave it at his cousin. ]
Don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone.
no subject
... Go have fun.
[It's almost nostalgic, ushering him off like that. Those days where he was little and clinging to Naoya's side are gone. ... Maybe it's better this way, but he still misses it.]
