Jin fell.

If they could still feel through the haze of pain and the slow deterioration of their senses as they continued to bleed, the shock of the wooden floor meeting their body would lance through, cracking bone and twisting muscle. Yet even so, there was a warmth. Not the warmth of blood rushing through a broken body. A warmth in the heart. A warmth that seemed to pulse with energy.

Something was calling to Jin. Something inside them.

The crippling cold of the thing that had picked it up was returning. Ice began to form on the wood beneath Jin's cheeks, sharp, jagged pieces that were freezing their blood. A hostile cold.

The warmth inside Jin continued to call.

It would be for the best if Jin, body shattered and slowly wasting away, chose to answer.

@Crimmy

Jin stared at nothing, as cold crept into their skin. Deeper, to the blood. Deeper still, starting to freeze their very breath.

"...who are you?" The words were murmured not aloud, but within. Jin's lips moved anyway.

I am you. And who are you?

"I'm Jin. ...are you an angel?"

Are you? There was almost a laughing note to the voice. Feminine, sort of. Masculine, sort of. Both? Neither?

"N-no... I'm... I'm too much a bitch for white wings... heh..." A weak rasp of a laugh escaped their blue lips. It hurt. It all hurt. Even breathing hurt. But the pain was stopping.

A bitch dying on the cold floor?

"...no."

What was that?

"No. No, I... I won't die here. I refuse."

...Take my hand.

Jin did. With their body slowly going icy, and their last breath half frozen on her lips, Jin spoke one word.

"...Per...sona."

The pain... stopped.

@CrimmyJin is probably going to get tbeir Persona and pass out as soon as the adrenaline wears off.

@Crimmy@chukklehed Yes. Jin is brave. Unfortunately sometimes it's the stupid kind of bravery that gets people hurt.

@Caits Kijani laughed, spinning her sword and taking off at a jog, looking for enemies. "Cover me, Connor." And she went forward, knowing that he would do just that. She did her best not to be lethal, but a few of the looters who shot at her lost the hands holding the guns. The authorities could jail them if they wanted, but she just wanted them incapacitated. Kijani moved through the looters like a soldier, not mocking, not teasing, simply taking them down one after the other.

Meanwhile, Jin was pouring everything she had into shielding her teammates. "I knew this wasn't going to work!" There was sweat beading on her forehead already. The shield was holding, but would she? "Come on, we gotta pull back and get cover, this is going south!" She started to back away, but made sure that Magnus and Makoto were still covered.

Kassy had separated from her partner, and was trying to do her best on her own. She saw some dead people start getting up and fighting, and for a while she was certain it was an illusion. If it was, it was a good one to fool her. The civilians didn't like the look of it, so she quickly headed them off, using her power to amplify her voice to them and drown everything else.

"Here, look here! Follow me!" She gave each of their minds the slightest of nudges, so that they would think following her to safety was the smartest and best thing to do and that they should do so immediately. They followed her into a covered area like obedient ducklings, and she made sure they weren't in any significant physical danger before heading out again. Controlling a panicked, desperate person was easy. In that case, it may have even been the right thing to do to keep those people out of danger. The guilt swam in her belly anyway, that she'd manipulated those people.

With a huff of frustration, she went off to find another fight.

@Crimmy Jin has risen..

Persona - Academic Akrasia

Through the pain, the silence made Jin very suddenly indignant. "Hey... hey! You can't just ask me shit and ignore me!" Anger, if nothing else, granted them energy, and Jin tried to rise through the pain. Their fist clenched, and only then did they remember the knife. "You. Whoever or WHATever the hell you are - if you haven't heard of me, that's your own damn problem. My name is Jinayah Ifriti. My parents gave me that name. My name is Luna - the street gave me that name. My name is Jin Takahashi, a gift from my obi-san and oba-san. Call me all of it, shit, call me NONE of it, I don't care. But you'd better know who the fuck you're talking to."

Jin stood, body screaming, hand bleeding, but their eyes full of defiant rage. "I've lived through worse monsters and shit more dark than this 5 yen haunted house. I should have been dead a hundred times. No. No fucking way do you get to take me out. Come on, you freaking boogeyman. My name is Jin. You're gonna remember it by the time we're through."
