Prologue in his journal!Nights are rarely a tranquil affair in the Mall. After all, it has a range of things to choose from: Solar Noise (even at night!), Full Moon, Dark Hour, Midnight Channel... even on quiet night, Crawler Shadows roam the fog, looking almost domesticated. Almost

If there was one thing Jack Frost liked about humans, was that if he made them really happy, they always gave him him sweets. So much rewards from so much help had caused Jack Frost to help out a human out of habit, regardless if they thanked him or not.

Jack doesn't remember how he got here, or why he is randomly in a Silent Hill game foggy place, but that was on the back of his mind, now.

He bounced into the scene, throwing out iceshards like a popcorn machine at all the ugly dum-dums surrounding the human.

*What the... is Dojima hallucinating? A snowman is... beating those oily things up... He could almost laugh if it didn't hurt so much to breathe.*

[frosted_derp]

Eventually, he manages to make them all disappeared. Unfortunately, this was a big stress on his HP, and so he plops onto the ground, panting and nearly fainting.

Woe is the snowman. Such is life, such is life. The way he pants is silly, though. Slow inhales and exhales, and when he exhales, 'hee' and 'ho' are sighed out.

"...hee...ho...hee...ho..."

[papadojima]

*Dojima shakily reaches out to pat the blue hat.* Good job... lil'guy...

[emptylightnin]

The heck is this racket? Souji was just walking back to the dorms and now...

"...Shit! Hey, Dojima!" LOOK IT'S YOUR NEPHEW.

What is he doing out here, seriously.

[papadojima]

"Ah... S-Souji?" What are you doing here also help there is a Shadow pulling at his underpants.

[emptylightnin]

What is he doing in a hospital gown what's happening oh god.

"Hold on!" Unfortunately he didn't bring his sword, but he does manage to kick one of the Shadows in the face.

[papadojima]

"Souji... what the hell..." What is this blur in his vision is it the fog? It's gotta be. It better be.

[ Chidori has never been able to sleep under the sickly yellow moon of the Dark Hour, not even here. So she paces - and tonight, for once, that seems to be a good thing.

Her Evoker is in her hands before she can even think about what she's seeing. ]

"Persephone!"

[ Fire. Then quiet, the Shadows defeated. Chidori hastily shoves her Evoker back in its thigh holster and rushes forward, soon on her knees beside Dojima with her hands pressed against his ribs. Bubbling gold energy surrounds them, cutting through the green haze.

Personal space? What's that? ]

[papadojima]

*Dojima cries out in pain at first, but soon the pain fades... even more than usual. In fact, it almost doesn't hurt to breathe, now." Who...?

[birdintheirhand]

[ She sits back on her heels, carelessly shoving her hair back out of her face. ] "Why didn't you call your Persona? Those Shadows wouldn't have thought twice about killing you."

[ Where there's smoke, there's usually fire, and Chidori's too busy catching her breath - and straightening her skirts - to look past the potential and see the Persona that isn't yet there. ]

[papadojima]

*He coughs.* Persona...? *Souji also had talked about Persona... but he's never seen this girl before...*

[octopony]

A hoof the size of a dinner plate crashes down on a Shadow, dispersing it. Sleipnir stomps down again and again before moving over to Dojima.

"Hello! I saved you."

PRAISE HIM.

[papadojima]

T... thanks... *Sorry, he's a little weak from the pain and the new bruises on his broken ribs.*

[octopony]

"You're welcome!"

Snuffling at your hair.

"If those things were giving you trouble, you must be super weak. Why are you even going out?"

Sleipnir has no concept of what tact is.

[papadojima]

I didn't choose to come here, *he admits with a gruff voice.*

[thingstheycarry]

[Her Demonica is picking up this time as an anomaly; she normally doesn't experience the Dark Hour. After Keisuke's dungeon, and how ill-equipped she was to handle the Shadows there, her new aptitude in fighting them comes as a relief-

-okay. What's going on? Rita takes off in a sprint towards the noise, summoning Parvati, Frost Ace, and Alice as she goes.]

Stay calm.

[Well, shit. The guy looks like a civilian.]

[papadojima]

*Dojima tries to laugh it off a bit, but it's really hard right now. It hurts too much.* I'm as calm as can be...

[thingstheycarry]

[As she leaves her demons to finish off the Shadows, the female soldier approaches the cop.]

That's a step in the right direction, eh? Here, take this.

[She's handing him a Bead. Clearly, the guy's has some sort of potentially dangerous occupation if he's acting this way...]

[papadojima]

*Dojima groans as he reaches out with a swollen hand.* What...
