[Video//English] [Locked from Legato and his crew]

[The comm clicks on to Aki sitting on his bed, his gun-like Envoker on his lap. He looks at the comm for a few moments, as if deciding what to say.]

This... [He holds up the Envoker, pointing it at the screen]

Is not a gun. It's how myself and few other people use our powers. Though I guess some of you either all ready know that, or guessed it pretty

Shinji had one of those!

...how does it summon that Persona thing?

[Yeah, she missed the whole an hero thing.]

[video]

[brbboxing]

But I thought you were with Shinji when... never mind.

[Since a picture speaks louder then words... he raises the Envoker and tilts it slightly as he presses it to his temple, upside down. There is a click, then the sound of a gunshot and shattering glass. Akihiko's head reels for a bit, and there is a blue light. The comm image statics for a moment, but when it clears there is Caesar floating behind him, and Aki seems fine.]

[pilot_princess]

I wasn't watching him...

WHOA! Akiheeky, is that yours? Yours looks cool too!

[video]

[brbboxing]

You're gonna call me that even when you're not.. [He blinks in slight surprise at how "cool" Caesar is, and maybe blushes a little. Not much, there and gone. But maybe..]

Ah... well yeah. Caesar is my Persona.

[princedetective]

It's inconvenient.

[brbboxing]

What is?

[princedetective]

Needing an external device like that to summon your persona. I've seen Minato-san use his before, too.

[...] It's flashy. [She sort of intends that dryly.]

[brbboxing]

Maybe a little. But it's what we have. Something about shocking the mind so the Persona is forced out... at least that's what I remember Mitsuru telling me.

And once more.

[oneenemyleft]

I'm so sorry, Senpai.

[brbboxing]

For what? You didn't do anything wrong Yama- ... Fuuka.

[oneenemyleft]

[A bit of an embarrassed sound at the use of her first name.]

...I should have-I knew it wasn't going to work. I shouldn't have tried. Or I should have thought to hide it... Or explained it, after... then you wouldn't need to be doing this.

[brbboxing]

[And being the social-dullard he is.. Aki completely misses the embarrassed noise]

I don't mind. Keeps this thing from shocking me at least Not that I even feel it with my chip out...

[pursuestruth]

You "shoot" yourself to use your ability?

[brbboxing]

Basically.

[pursuestruth]

A Persona... Does Minato use this method as well?

[grandcrossed]

How did the practice originate? It's...an unusual way of going about things.

[brbboxing]

I don't know the details. The Kirijo Group developed the Envokers before I even realized I had a Persona. I guess I never really questioned it.
