[Card and Persona share a look, Roxas shrugging and walking beside Kaz as he moves off, probably reeking of curiosity now, Henry as he follows you.]

Oookay... So trailblazing. Nobody's ever had a Persona straight out of a video game before? Like, ever? I mean... Jessie said as much, but still.

[abubotize]

Nope, no one else so far. I figure some folks will start popping up with them soon enough, though.

[Lifting an eyebrow at Kaz, as the two of you are weaving through the displays, the tables.]

Personae are, in general, supposed to represent archetypes. Since stuff like video games have become a part of the grand narrative, makes sense that their characters would eventually come to life with Cards.

[ktotheatothez]

[Kaz nods, genuinely interested in what Henry has to say. After all, waking up with an actual video game character seemed too good to be true. But then...]

I suppose... I can't be the first, though, right? To bring a new archetype out of the Velvet Room with him, I mean.

[abubotize]

You're definitely not. The guy's been around since Elaine Only Knows.

[Now they're heading for his office, behind a door with a sign that reads 'ONLY THE BOSS AND HIS COMPANY GO IN HERE OR YOU'RE FUCKED'.]

[ktotheatothez]

The guy? Roxas...?

[Wait. What?]

Um, Igor?

[abubotize]

Igor.

[Giving you a Look, and a rueful shake of his head.]

You know full well that your Persona's only been around since the time you drew your Second Breath.

[ktotheatothez]

Ehehe... Heh. Um, I knew that.

[He did, Henry, honestly. He just happens to be a little flustered right now, what with him needing an Evoker and having no idea how do even.]

[abubotize]

I'm sure you did.

[Dryly, as he's turning around and leaning back against his office desk.]

So what's on your mind? Maybe if you unload a little, you won't be so all over the place.

[ktotheatothez]

Actually... I came for advice. You know relics, and I'm kind of in need of an Evoker.

[The goofiness drops a little as he finds a seat.]

Roxas and I are as in-sync as we can be, but... From what I've read, no Card at my level should be without one.

[abubotize]

Yep. You've got two choices: requisitioning an Evoker from me or Vice Enterprises, or making your own. Making your own's usually better, but...

[Hum. How does one do that with a case like yours?]

[ktotheatothez]

But how do I make one when my Persona is a new archetype?

[He's had this on his mind for a while now.]

[abubotize]

[Making an odd noise, and scratching his chin.]

It's not really about the Persona. It's more about you. Personal journey, y'know, towards accepting the fact that you died but you came back.

[ktotheatothez]

[That has him wondering if he has been dealing with the fact of his death well. Mostly he's been living his everyday life like nothing happened, and going about his routines.

Him falling still and quiet is what you see, Henry.]

[abubotize]

[And this one's going to watch you a moment before going for a cigarette.]

Normal Cards re-trace the steps of their Pilgrimage in order to make an Evoker, but you never had a Pilgrimage. At least not a formal one.

[ktotheatothez]

[He reaches for his own tin, lighting one up before he nods. Jessie had mentioned that he really wasn't a typical Card. So he asks.]

Technically, Hikaru-nii walked me back though. When you say retrace, I'd have to go back to South Africa? S'where I died, after all.

[abubotize]

Yeah, that sounds like as good of a start as any.

[Where else could you go, really?]

Personal Evokers usually feature at least one piece of your corpse.

[Just. Putting it out there.]

deins pare, abort!

[ktotheatothez]

M-my corpse?

[Stunned into silence.]

lol

[abubotize]

Yep.

[Like it isn't a big deal at all. Or Henry might just be used to freaky shit, because Abubot.]

Cards tend to pick a part of their corpse that was particularly important to them, or symbolic of who they were. You can ask Mica or David for tips. Might ever wanna ask Inquisitor Vice.

[ktotheatothez]

[Freakiness aside, his curiosity is piqued.]

Okay... A part of my corpse... Like... A literal body part?

[abubotize]

Yep. They usually combine that with some sort of memento from their "previous life".

[There go the bunny quotes.]

[ktotheatothez]

Mementos, huh?

[Kaz is fiddling with his bottlecap necklace and Marissa's Tear absentmindedly, Roxas looks a little fidgety, reflecting Kaz in a way.]

So I guess we have to find my "body"?

[Yeah, he does the bunny quotes too.]

[abubotize]

I guess so. We don't get cases like yours very often.

[Hum, hum!]

Why don't you drop by the Arcanum and check the records? Maybe you'll find something. Lorenzo's always ready to help.

[...When he's actually awake, anyway.]

[ktotheatothez]

I think I just might... Before I go to Naufragio again, anyway.

[Cogs are turning in this one's head.]

I should probably get outta your hair, Inquisitor. I'll see you soon?

[abubotize]

See ya.

[Giving you a grin and a two-fingered salute.]

Feel free to let yourself out. If you wanna buy anything, my assistants are all over the place.
