Open Post - Persona 4 AU!Akechi
A. A Boy Jumps Out of a TV, When...
[For reasons you're not too sure about, you are in the Junes Department Store's electronics department.
Maybe you live in Inaba. Maybe you just walked through a door and ended up there. Regardless, there is a twelve year old boy climbing out of one of the TVs, with the screen rippling black and white, and it's probably all very unsettling.
He did not expect to have company, and so when he drops to the floor, he stops and stares.
He wanted recognition, but not like this.
He straightens his stance, removing his thin, brown-framed glasses, and blurts out a snappy-]
Don't mind what you just saw! It's all an elaborate magic trick.
[...That's a terrible excuse. More likely, he's going to have to explain.
Lovely.]
B. Damn it, Teddie! Where the hell are we?!
[Akechi meant to go into the TV to try and bribe Teddie with more snacks and perhaps, maybe, finally get a better feel for the TV world.
One problem: He did not end up in the TV world. He ended up where your character is, and now there's a very puzzled tween glancing around with thin, brown-framed glasses and a middle school uniform.
But he lifts the glasses. There's no fog. Everything's clear.]
What the hell is going on here?!
[Did he go in the wrong screen? But that makes no sense. He knows which screen to use!]
C. Wildcard
[Got another idea? Have at it!]
[ooc: This Akechi is from my currently ongoing fic. More info on his profile!]

no subject
[An awfully bold claim for the latter half, considering he actually has no clue if that's possible. It must be, he thinks. It certainly seems like a God-Like power to have.
Maybe Naoya would know, considering that he's The One Who Resurrects.
And lucky for Akechi, there's some vending machines just around the bend, though they've clearly been looted of all the better drinks and snacks. Not too far away there's a juice stand in an equally bad way, though this one actually does have a TV screen hanging lopsided on the wall, completely turned off that just might be big enough for him to fit through.]
no subject
[That's kind of worrisome, Kazuya. So worrisome that he stops and stares for a moment, but... ah. A TV screen. That might work.
Squinting, he moves over to investigate it, pressing his hand on the screen as best he can, but...
Damn it. No dice. His face crumples up in frustration.]
Damn it. It just couldn't be that easy, could it?
no subject
[It doesn't seem likely, but honestly the whole plucking his soul from the sea of souls things was more as a joke, and only a lightly "in case".
Still, he watches Akechi place his hand on the TV screen and... nothing happens. He tilts his head a bit.]
... Does it need to maybe be powered? [Silly question, considering that he feels like Akechi might have said something to that effect if it mattered.]
no subject
[He stares at his own reflection on the television, shoulders drooping. Of course it wouldn't be so simple.]
no subject
He's more or less already gotten his demon stink or whatever all over this kid, and if the angels show up it could be dangerous if he's not there to fight them back, even with the back up he'd given.
But the thought of leaving the Hills unattended kind of also gives him anxiety, considering it's the most obvious seat of his power. Though there would also be way more demons around to protect it, and the humans he trusts to do so in his absence.]
.... Do you get queasy easily? Asking, because if I teleport us over to Inaba, I kind of want to be warned if I might get thrown up on. Especially since it's a bit rough if you're not used to it.
no subject
[It's fine! He's got this...
Probably.
There's still the uneasiness. Would it even be workable? If this is a wholly different world, what if the powers don't overlap so easily?]
no subject
[Though he's still not entirely convinced, but that's because he's also never been to this "TV" world. All he knows is that sometimes teleporting puts his stomach in his throat and leaves him a little queasy. He's gotten better about it recently, but sometimes it's still a bit much.]
Lets see... Inaba, Inaba...
[He puts his hand on Akechi's shoulder without thinking much of it, and the world will shift and bend around them in a blink before they're both standing in the shopping district.
Which is accompanied by a few screams of terror, considering the infamy of a demon lord, and people scattering and ducking for cover and people loudly yelling for mercy as they flee almost immediately.
... He's kind of used to it, but damn if it doesn't hurt a bit.]
no subject
Huh, but now that he thinks about it...]
What year is this, anyway?
no subject
2010? I think? I think it's been about a year now. Why?
[His sense of time has gotten a little fuckywucky since he became a demon.]
no subject
[So, hmm... Will that apply here? Or is this a parallel Inaba with no such thing?]
no subject
[That's about all he can say to that. He has no clue what it means for the TV world to be linked with human cognition, which makes him feel a little... bad? It's not a great feeling to have a little kid know more than you about a subject.]
no subject
[He narrows his eyes and rubs his chin. Could that be a key? Hmmm...]
no subject
Any clue what demon or diety it might have been? I could call them here to answer, if you know.
[ He is, after all, their king. ]
1000 years later...
Who is Izaya Sagiri, really?]
Well, logic would dictate that he's one of the gods within the Kojiki, but he's acting under the alias "Izaya Sagiri." Sagiri means fog, which could tie him to the likes of Ame-no-Sagiri and Kuni-no-Sagiri, though it could just as easily be an alias meant to shroud his true self in fog.
What I can say is that he seeks to test humanity's convictions. He is of the mind that humans cannot accept the truth and would rather shroud themselves in fog.
2000 years later....
Maybe he should consider looking into them more, at least for something that might come up like this, not just because he should probably know this information as their king.]
Interesting.
[The information that this kid tells him readily about things that he should probably already knows. Still, if they're going to figure this out, he'll need a little more information.]
At least within the confines of this world, a demon like that wouldn't be able to do such a thing without someone sounding an alarm of some kind. Not with how many people know about their existence now.
no subject
[Akechi touches his chin, humming softly.]
In Inaba, matters of the supernatural are predominantly rumors. People have gossiped about the Midnight Channel, but few take it seriously, to say nothing of the TV world.
