akira kurusu / ren amamiya

persona 5

"good" ending

he's very much the same guy in some ways. he plays up the quiet an unassuming act, but will act cocky and confident as Joker
but the changes are pretty drastic. he's a lot more self-centered about his goals and cares more about personal justice > what's Actually Right
he also doesn't really give a flying shit about other people, but he'll pretend he does
while he doesn't murder people because Phantom Thief Creed, he absolutely would murder a guy if he was given the option to because nobody would give a shit?? he's in control now
HAREM ROUTE because he's that kind of asshole
all of his personas are Broken and OP as hell because again That Kind of Asshole, but he does not have his endgame persona, satanael
literally fused away arsene the first chance he got, sorry buddy
he actually fought both sae and akechi solo.
he maxed out everyone's confidants. he also has max stats, including kindness?? even though his real personality is that he's a dick?
only half cared that akechi died. he's just Disappointed that he doesn't have a ~rival~ anymore. phantom thieves need rivals, damn it
will make a Deal with practically anyone if it means that he benefits off of it.
gets Bored real fucking easily now. he'll still shitpost and stuff but it's not as fun anymore???

[She should probably stop pushing. They aren't the only ones in the shop after all. Playfully she pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose before downing the rest of her coffee and leaving some cash.]

Don't worry about answering, and you can keep the change. I'll give these Phantom Thieves a consideration, just because you seem so enthused about them. Who can I say sent me their way?

[well, the school he's talking about is his own, so he honestly could excuse it as that if pushed far enough.

although he's caught a little off guard when his glasses are suddenly pushed upward, grey eyes widening for a flicker of a second before he tugs at a loose bang idly.]

Thanks. [he's being polite and friendly, at least!] And it's Kurusu Akira. And might I get the name of the lovely lady that I helped out today?

Chidori Kaname. See you around.

[She gives him a wave goodbye, and leaves his shop.]

[But later that day, into the early evening as the sun has finally fully set, there's a post to that website Akira had shown Kaname. Three full names, and two surnames. Also the address of an abandoned parking garage.

Nothing else is provided because she doesn't have the time to add more. Her phone is taken from her, and destroyed. The men who had followed her into the cafe waited for her around the corner, stalked her a few streets down, and grabbed her. Now they're dragging her out of their car to tie her to a chair.]

[he actually checks the forums rather frequently and while he does see the full names, the fact that there's an address attached shows that there's an almost immediate, pressing problem.

this person needs help now, and what better than to play superhero? he can go into Mementos on his own later. he's powerful enough to stop some measly shadows.

it takes him some time, but eventually Akira's here, having rushed by foot (and train) as he stares down the men; they might be familiar faces, but Akira himself was forgettable, a face that you'd see almost anywhere.]

Hey. Let go of her.

[his words are insistent, a demand. it's clear he won't take no for an answer.]

Edited 2018-12-05 23:54 (UTC)

[Two men - one in the middle of tying her arms behind the chair, and one at her feet doing the same to her ankles - look up. The other three looming over her turn around. The guy in the middle has a scowl on his face, but that's a bit hidden by the bandages and the awful swelling and bruising.

Oh yeah? Who is gonna make us? An army of you?

Two of the guys weren't even there to meet him the first time, but even if Akira wasn't forgettable they wouldn't give much effort toward trying to remember him. He wasn't too big of an obstacle before, after all.

Chidori had been struggling, but when Akira makes his entrance she stills. Her awe is clear because she didn't expect anybody to show up.]

...You came.

I did.

[the two words that spill out of Akira's lips are clipped and full of venom, eyes narrowed]

You shouldn't be bullying girls to begin with. And I will be the one to handle it if I have to.

[Akira's tone of voice lets them know he's not messing around, but the boy still has an unassuming look and an average frame. The three men shift their stance from something casual and laid back to a more alert look. However the bemusement doesn't leave their faces. They completely assume they'll make it out without a scratch.

Oh no, it's not bullying. We're just teaching her a valuable lesson. She's still young after all. Just like you. Want to learn her lesson too?

The man standing in the middle gives an awkward and lecherous smile as his eyes rove over Akira's body. Perhaps his fun might just double tonight.

Meanwhile Kaname has begun to struggle again. She kicks one guy in the face, but the young man behind her has managed to bind her wrist with zip-ties.]

[those words pull at Akira rather easily, and the moment he sees that look is when he decides to spring immediately into action. he's not waiting anymore. while he might be less of a hand to hand fighter, he's fairly certain he can go toe to toe with losers like these as he springs to slam his body to the nearest one that's trying to tie her down]

[He manages to bodily take down one man trying to tie her leg to the chair. With both legs free she's able to kick with enough force to knock herself and the chair over so she can wriggle free from it. At this point the rest of Takahashi's buddies try ganging up on Akira. Two of them try to pry him away from the guy he slammed into while the one Kaname kicked in the face stays down.

Takahashi himself pulls out a blade. He calls out to his friends to try and get them out of the way. As he rushes in with his small knife Kaname kicks out her leg to trip him up. The man loses his grip on the weapon. He falls face first as the knife clatters on the ground. Takahashi howls in pain from his broken nose getting hurt yet again.

At this point Chidori has moved around enough to free herself from the chair, but her wrists are still together behind her back... At least if she has enough time uninterrupted she can probably get to her feet.]

Don't touch me.

[his words are forceful and almost a growl under his breath, unrelenting in his movements as the two other men try to pry him away, managing to grab him by the arms. even if they've managed to bind his arms, it isn't as if he doesn't have legs to use to kick them away with ease because alarm bells are immediately turning on because he does not like being touched by adults, especially ones that are attempting to take him down in ways that remind him of a time when he was weak and he wants absolutely none of it.

once he manages to get himself away, he is immediately going straight for Chidori to undo the bonds of her wrists and grab her by the arm while they still have a chance, tugging at her once that's said and done, a silent Let's go.]

[One last look over her shoulder at the bumbling young men who clearly haven't tried fighting anyone who could actually fight back gives her enough closure to follow Akira when he insists they leave. One of the men picks up that knife, but by the time he does Kaname and Kurusu are already out of sight.

Chidori won't stop running until they're a few blocks away from the abandoned car garage. She reaches out to tug on Akira's sleeve. Trying to get his attention while she catches her breath. She has had to run longer distances before, but the knife worried her enough that she's a bit too worked up to pace herself.]

H-hey.

[getting away is the important part for now. he'll deal with them later, in Mementos once Chidori is safe and away from harm. while he's been practicing his running to prepare for stealing hearts (in the figurative sense) he's still, in many ways, a normal, ordinary teenager.

with persona powers, but those don't work here so they don't really count.

but when he hears her voice and manages to slow down his pace, he speaks up, trying to even things out]

Hey. Sorry I'm not the Phantom Thief you were looking for, but I saw your message on the boards, and...

[he had to come. maybe a good amount of his reasoning was selfish, because he knew that maybe, if he saved her, he could potentially bond with her. and bonds? are important. bonds are what allowed him to get girlfriends.

and maybe a part of him still believes in that personal justice of his.

to save other people who are being treated like garbage by adults.]

[Laughing breathlessly she lets her top half fall forward as her hand grips his sleeve tighter. Relief washes over her. If he's fine enough to apologize, then there's nothing to worry about. She's actually really grateful.]

Who apologizes for saving someone? I was just going to say you were pretty cool back there! I need to thank you.

[she's right that he probably shouldn't apologize. but he feels like he shouldn't have been the one to save her. after selling his soul off, practically to the god of control for power, he's felt that the only person that mattered in his mind wasn't 'Akira Kurusu', but rather-- Joker.

maybe that's why he ended up separating the two in his mind, saying that. it was supposed to be Joker that saved her. not Akira.

Akira was just an ordinary person who kept to the shadows and watched, so when she actually thanks him, he can't help but actually react for once. it's been so long since he's been able to have a genuine reaction instead of one that he forces out because he's gotten so bored of the world.

eyes shoot wide open and he just.

stares behind the glasses.

be smooth, Kurusu, he tells himself as he finally speaks up]

It was nothing, really. I'm just glad that you're safe from them.

[His surprise is actually very cute. She hooks her arm around his, and continues to lead him away from where they just were. It's best not to linger too long after you just pissed off a bunch of dudes.]

Well, maybe you should let me take you out to eat sometime. It might not make us even, but it'll close the gap a little!

[that sports an actual, genuine smile out of him, easily allowing her to lead the way out of there. because, yeah, it's not good to stay, especially since that group knows both of their faces.

he knows he'll have to deal with them later. as soon as possible once he splits from her.]

Why not make that sometime "right now". . . ?

[finding a restaurant to eat would be very good right now.

and being surrounded by more people would be a hell of a lot safer than their current situation, too. win-win, clearly.]

O-oh...

[His response gives her pause. Mostly because no one in her life has been that smooth. Perhaps maybe one guy could have been, but he kissed her without consent so all attempts at smoothness have been disqualified.

Her arm slips away from his, but she agrees.]

Sure. I work at a place not too far from here. I can vouch for the food.

[It's almost cafe-style, but you can order actual meals instead of just treats meant to be paired with tea or coffee. The only downside is he'll get to see the just-one-step-away from maid outfit her uniform is, but there are worse things.]

[he's trying his best. whether he notices that he's being purposely smooth or otherwise, Akira doesn't seem to comment on it, or even show how he's slightly disappointed when she lets go of his arm.

don't want to make her uncomfortable, after all.

nevertheless, his grin manages to widen just a little, keeping a rather easy, relaxed demeanor - a rather obvious difference from all the seriousness from earlier.]

I'll trust your judgment, Kaname-san. [strangely polite, the way he addresses her. huh.] Lead the way.

[and with a bit of a flourish, he gestures for her to do exactly that.]

[He's lucked out because all her past bad experiences make him look like a gem. Not only that, but his lithe frame and quiet demeanor appeal to her. Better than listening to some blind date brag about how rich his parents are. As the daughter of a politician that's all people assume she wants to hear about. This change of pace is nice.

When they reach the restaurant she greets her coworker, and they quickly get seated at a nice private little booth, but Kaname insists on sitting in the spot where she can see the door. Just in case anyone walks in.]

What kind of stuff do you like? Maybe I can make a suggestion.

[honestly he could care less about her background; it's not really important to him, and it's really kind of boring. nevertheless, he keeps pace with her, walking alongside Chidori as they enter the restaurant and get seated.

he eyes the outfits that they're wearing - they're pretty close to maid outfits, huh? - but opts to not comment on them. if he wants to get on her good side, it's probably for the best not to mention it. . .

he'll allow her to sit on that side at least, but he's being pretty wary himself, in the off chance that those assholes do wind up coming back.]

Anything that can give me a challenge, [it's a half-hearted joke, it seems, before he finally gives her an actual answer] I'm not notoriously picky, actually. I like spicy things, and I've actually taken on quite a bit of food challenges at the Big Bang Burger place.

[he's not joking]

[Holy crap. She may live over in Chofu, but even she knows the reputation of that burger place. She stares in a bit of shock and awe as she tries to imagine his delicate frame try to tackle those huge burgers that would make even the Americans she went to school with in New York shy away.]

Holy crap, [she whispers under her breath as she tries to think of something that might actually live up to his daring palate.]

That's impressive.

[hearing her say that it's impressive makes him feel pretty smug, even if he doesn't seem to show it on his face. he does laugh it all off, though]

You don't really have to suggest me something as massive as that, though. I couldn't really taste the burgers during the challenge anyway, since it was timed.

There's a spicy grilled edamame dish you can try? I think I'll be getting some gyoza for myself.

[She doesn't mention that she also intends to get herself the fancy parfait to comfort herself after all that just happened.

Normally she'd order way more, but she can't go revealing how much she'd truly want to stuff her face in front of someone new.]

I'll take that. . . and maybe seafood nabe, too?

[he's pretty hungry and he's fairly certain that edamame alone won't fill him up, whoops]
