The Test of Mortality

The city of Naveria considered one of the more prosperous cities in the area and a must stop for any tourist passing through, it's considered one of the oldest cities in the world though that's only in the top ten. Naveria prospertity over time has led to additions being added to the city causing it to have four 'sections' in a sense.
The first section is the newest part of the city finished only months ago, it's considered New Naveria, a place filled with all kinds of stores, restaurants, hotels etc. essentially if anyone needs anything New Naveria is the place to get it. There's a fountain in the center of Naveria with benches surrounding it that people hang out at either before or after shopping, most large name stores reside in New Naveria so it can be a tad expensive for some, it resides in the northern part of the city.
On the eastern half of the city is what is considered the residential district, a small suburb full of houses and where a majority of the schools reside. The residential district was one of the newer areas of Naveria before New Naveria come along and it shows when anyone walks through it.
In the southern part of the city is the oldest part of the city thus it's designated name Old Naveria, to any that know the history of Naveria this was the first part of the city every built, old factories, small simple shops and a few run down houses remain in this part of the city, Old Naveria is filled with the history of Naveria for anyone with the curiosity. Most people on a limited budget reside in Old Naveria since it's affordable, with New Naveria opening up the older part of the city has lost a few residents but it is one of the most interesting parts of the city still.
Finally there's the western half of the city which is the only area where any kind of real greenery resides, parks and Naveria's lake occupy the west side, a small forest is also in the area but with a highway behind it what little nature remains is cut off.
These are the four main areas of Naveria and though there isn't a technical center to the city, the library is the closest place to one as it lingers the closest to what could be considered the middle point between everything, few people visit it nowadays with bookstores in New Naveria but it still remains a comfortable place for those who take the time to journey there, within this city lies the lives of millions of people enjoying a simple life, some who want very little and others with large aspirations, each one occupying their time to the best of their ability.

Aria set her bags down and took a seat next to them on a bench near the fountain, she had come to New Naveria to buy a few things she couldn't find in Old Naveria, and sitting here now she remembered how much she hated this place. The entire area was covered with people, and stores surrounded her on all sides, she glanced over at a tv store showing a few news reports before her attention moved up to a large skyscraper between a shoe and clothing store with a huge tv screen on it. The screen could be seen from anywhere in New Naveria so they took that opportunity to play advertisements, some for the stores currently around her.
Aria rubbed the side of her head as she looked at the bags seated next to her, she wanted to head back to her apartment in Old Naveria but she had walked here and wasn't in the mood to head back quite yet, she had considered taking the bus but didn't realize there wasn't money in her wallet until she got to the store.
It was a nice day today but it being summer brought a bit of irritation to her day, kids were running around the area and a majority of them weren't exactly quiet, adding that to the conversations going on around her Aria was reminded why she avoided the newer side of the city.

Persona: Tale of Twilight

Rin let out a small sigh and opened his phone to mess with a few apps when he heard footsteps at the door, he glanced over at it wondering if it was the teacher but it seemed to be more students. He watched the two walk in before being followed by a young boy, his attention didn't stay on the boy long before looking over at the foreign student speaking with a girl wearing a pair of glasses. It took him a moment to recognize it was the boy from earlier, well that confirmed that he was in the class but in the end he didn't it and important matter as he turned his attention back towards his phone. He could hear conversations continuing around him, it seemed everyone was getting friendly with one another and making new friends, he wouldn't have minded if they did it elsewhere though.

When the teacher walked in he closed his phone and set it on his desk putting his hand over it as he intended on picking it back up once he was done. He turned his head back to the window but the 'maggot' part drew a sideways glance to the teacher, that wasn't a term he got to hear too often especially address to students. At the mention of their seats being where they were for year he glanced back at the rear desk his eyes narrowing, he had a feeling that would be the case but having it confirmed ruined what little hope he had. Rin turned his attention partially back to 'Mr. Mokota' as he continued speaking. He was fine with the not speaking in class part he normally didn't anyway, even the sleeping in class part wasn't too surprising most teachers didn't condone it, but the way this guy spoke was irritating. The next part made his eye twitch a little, the punishment would be severe then for a cell phone, he was glad he brought other things to keep his attention then, he assumed his phone would just be taken from him but it was a punishment instead, the day just kept getting better.
"I see why we're the future....if annoying old men like that exist," Rin mumbled as he addressed students in the class.
He didn't turn to look at the people he was addressing but he was pretty sure he could guess who the foreigner was, he stood out enough without being called on, had to be a great experience at the school for him to have a teacher like this. Rin closed his eyes starting to grow a little tired of listening to the guy, he seemed to call on multiple others picking out something or another about them, he ended up zoning out through most of it. At times like these he enjoyed being normal and cutting his presence down, in situations like this teachers tended to ignore students like him, well that may be a bit harsh he was sure the other students were normal too and he wouldn't deny it was bothersome they had to deal with being called on.
The part about skipping didn't pass by him either. it actually made him flinch a little, he didn't like that guy as a teacher he certainly didn't want him in his home.

Rin actually sighed in relief seeing him leave and picked his phone back up, while he had him as a teacher he was going to have occupy his time with something else.
He glanced to his right as he noticed a student put a book up, he immediately turned his attention away from him figuring out what he was doing, some teachers could catch the glances of other students and it drew attention to the one napping. Unfortunately he's been on the receiving end of that, though it was going to be hard to nap knowing that another was doing it nearby. He really didn't like the idea of anything going back to his homeroom teacher, he didn't even like considering it. Actually it might be a good idea to nip any potential problems in the bud.
While lost in his thoughts he felt a tap on his shoulders, he ended up turning his attention to the person behind him, he was pretty sure she was going to talk to him and thought brought a bit of dread to him, but she was one of the buds so it was a good opportunity. She'd directly see him if he napped or messed with his phone, best he take care of this.
His eyes went to the dog on her shoulder for a moment, he wasn't entirely sure what to say to that so he just looked at her as she spoke to him, her voice seemed...scared? Was that the right term for this, maybe shy was a better word for it.
Rin found himself in quite the position, he didn't like the idea of upsetting this person any further than she was, it would draw unnecessary attention...but the others might leave him alone....tempting but he decided the less attention the better.
With a sigh Rin ruffled his bed head a bit before opening his eye, it partially drooping as he spoke to her.
"Don't worry about it," Rin said in his normal monotone voice. "....you don't say anything if I break one of his rules...and I'll consider it even...though I have leverage on you too.... so let's turned a blind eye to each other when that comes..."
He pointed to the dog on her shoulder pretty sure those things were on his 'severe punishment' list.
"Also my name is Natsuyama not classmate...I'm not ecstatic on sharing an experience with you or anyone else in this class, having a title that signify's that makes it worse."
Now that he said that out loud that may have sounded a bit harsh, perhaps he could have reworded it better but it was already out there now.
"Anyway nice to meet you.... electronic dog person, I hope we condone each other presences for the year."

Persona: Tale of Twilight

The familiar sweet scent filled Rin's nose and gave him a bit of comfort for the long day that was ahead of him, he moved the frying pan one hand in his pocket as he wondered about his day. Today was the first day of school and he couldn't help but feel a bit of despair at the thought of going, he already missed summer vacation and for a brief moment wondered if he could get away with skipping. Rin looked down to see he was dressed in his uniform and his school bag was already sitting by the door, with a sigh he finished cooking knowing he had already come this far, he though a bit unwillingly got dressed in his uniform which meant he was committed to returning to that place. He didn't put forth the effort to fix his bed head, it was bad enough he was going to have to move through the crowds of people, deal with the constant noise that would soon surround him on all sides, the gossip that gave him more information than any person should know about another with every corner he turned. His appearance was the last thin on his mind, in fact just thinking about it was already depressing him further, he needed to look at the good side of things, find something that he enjoyed about school and use that to propel himself forward with determination and vigor.
"Screw that," Rin mumbled putting the food on a plate.
Get through the day and then come home, that was all he needed to do today though Maya was off work so she would probably be home when school let out, putting the food on the table he realized that he may make a detour when he walked home today.
"Good morning Natsu," A voice called from behind him. "You're up early."
Rin flinched a little hearing the voice but turned to see his stepmother walk up and take a seat at the table, he wanted to comment on her blouse and blue jeans but he knew only something negative would come out and decided against it.
"Morning Maya-san..." Rin responded setting the last plate on the table.
Maya could easily be confused for his sister which regretfully has happened on a few occasions, her long black hair was braided and she had smooth apricot skin, it wasn't surprising in a way his father had picked a younger woman. It did complicate matters as Rin found he couldn't stare at her for too long, his hate seemed to grow the longer he looked.
Maya noticed he was his same monotone speaking self which was a good sign at least, she admitted at being a little worried over him being nervous about returning to school, it was clear he wasn't in the best mood from his expression. It was blank as always but it wasn't as blank at the same time, she wasn't sure how but she had found a way to read what little emotion showed on his face.
"I told you that I'd make breakfast today it being your first day and all, I'm surprised to see you up so early."
Rin didn't respond to Maya's words and just walked over to the door picking up his bag, he put his shoes on and started making his way out of the door.
"Aren't you going to eat?!" Maya said having walked over to the door.
"....already did," Rin responded. "Bye."
He didn't wait for a response and walked out the door, he woke up early just so he could get the breakfast ready and get out the door, he wasn't really in the mood for 'breakfast conversation' at the moment.
"...take care," Maya mumbled before turning and heading back towards the table.

Rin really hated that clock.
Walking into the front gates he was reminded of the reminder and everything it stood for, it wasn't uncommon for him to be late for class and seeing that clock felt like a taunt in some ways. He put the thought aside as plenty of students were pouring into the school and the noise of the school was back in his life once more. Rin immediately opened his cell phone and started messing with it doing what he could to tune out what was around him. Don't make eye contact with anyone they may try to initiate a conversation, he turned his full attention to the screen of his phone making his way to the assembly.
Rin headed towards the classes missing most of what the headmistress said, he caught clubs and the class size being reduced which made him a tad uncomfortable, it was going to be harder to sleep in class if the classes were smaller. The club part didn't matter that much too him since he wasn't intending on joining, well formally anyway.

When he reached the class roster he lowered his phone only to notice a student standing away from it, whoever this guy was he looked different form everyone else, even his uniform was different, and why was he just standing there instead of heading to his class? Rin shrugged and walked over to roster finding his own name, he glanced back at the student and spoke in a normal speaking voice which he tended to avoid.
"Classroom 1-G....guess I should head that way before I'm late," he said before backing away and opening his phone again making his way to the classroom.
He wasn't sure if the student was even in his class but if he was he figured that was enough of a hint in case he was lost, he wasn't about to engage in a conversation with the guy so if he wasn't in his class then he was on his own like half the student body.
When Rin did reach the room he noticed a girl kick a guy out of the way, he quietly slipped past his attention never leaving his phone not about to get involved in any of that.
He was also pretty sure he heard someone yell something but he put the thought aside.

Rin walked over to the seat in the corner setting his bag on the desk, his attention was still on his phone so he happened to miss the girl currently sitting in what he had decided his place would be this morning. He lowered his phone before noticing there was already someone sitting in the seat, his eyes narrowed a little at her but it was his own fault for not getting there earlier, he tried to leave earlier to remedy that but it seemed she beat him to it. The corner window seat was the best place in class to nap, unless the teacher walked the aisle but if he didn't putting a book up and laying one's head down was the best way to get a quick power nap in if nothing else.
"Tch," escaped from Rin before he picked his bag up and put it on the desk in front of hers.
Whoever this person was she was his neighbor now unless their seats were changed, he wondered if he should engage her in conversation, a simple greeting at the very least.
Rin looked back at the girl in the corner seat staring at her for a moment as he contemplated speaking, in the end he just sat in his seat and rested his cheek on his fist staring out the window.
"Not worth it,"
"....tired..."

[Mizos]The Tides of The Past[SanaChan][Take Two]

Larel's hand involuntary flinched seeing Hotaru's eyes change and hearing Sybil's voice, he closed his hand into a fist making sure to keep his composure, he glanced over at Alari whose eyes rested on Mera for a moment, the look in her eyes worried him but he turned his attention back to Sybil seeing the two were speaking to one another.
Even Larel could see Mera wasn't her normal self right now which he could understand, Sybil was being contained and if it was anyone else she was inhabiting he'd cut them apart just to keep from hearing her voice again but it was Hotaru and he knew he wouldn't be able to attack her so all he could do was glare in her direction and listen.
When Sybil's eyes went to Alari he adjusted his glasses hearing she wasn't pleased about being locked away, she had far more influence then he thought even within Hotaru, he should have paid more attention but it was too late for that right now.
Larel hated it but Sybil wasn't wrong about one thing, while she was in Hotaru responding to her was difficult, watching Mera hit the wall made Larel's eyes narrow a little, Sybil was pushing all the right buttons on Mera and she wasn't the only one who wanted to gut her.
While Larel stared at Sybil something in him clicked though, he glanced over at Alari whose eyes had moved over to Mera again. Alari hated Zenmaru even he knew that...yet Alari made an effort not to hurt him, even when Zenmaru took over.
Larel shook his head not sure why he thought that and turned his attention back to Mera hearing her talk to Alari about not placing the seal. Alari's eyebrows furrowed a little as he was worried about Mera right now, he knew Hotaru wasn't going to be happy about any of this either especially as he heard the crack of her arm. He noticed that Larel flinched hearing that, it made sense as he didn't like seeing his friend get hurt but he knew it wasn't Mera's fault, Sybil was the one instigating it.

"Larel can you remain composed," Alari said looking over at him. "I'm sure you accept Sybil's offer as well though it's not exactly fair."
Larel arched a brow at him but offered a nod not sure what exactly he meant by the first part but he was correct at the very least.
Alari walked over to Mera as she gripped her head and reaching over put a hand on her shoulder to offer at least some comfort before he looked over at Sybil.
"Alright Sybil I will not place the seal on you," Alari said. "However please allow me to clarify something first about this current situation."
Alari walked away from Mera and knelt down on one knee as he got eye level to Sybil, he removed his glasses his eyes letting off a red glow as he put his glasses in his sleeve.
"You are free to gloat of course but you are little more tan a minor nuisance at best right now, you're hiding behind Mary and Hotaru and it shows just how weak you are. For all the confidence you have at the end you're just a coward barely worth the attention. You're still a leashed mutt if you can even be called that, it seems too high a compliment to compare you to such an animal. One day you won't have anyone to hide behind and when that day comes you'll come to realize just how useless you truly are, I will patiently wait for that day, the world will forget you, just like the rest of us will."
Alari stood up and walked over to Larel before putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Sorry Larel I'm sure you wanted to say that," he said smiling.
"Oh..uh...no I just...want to kill her...thanks though."
"No problem and you better keep your word Sybil or I will seal you away, especially if Mary isn't returned safely," Alari said before walking over and leaning against the wall.
