Cockney Naoto | v: It Was Probably Ghosts

Originally based on a parody game of P4, but I no longer have the means to play it or even watch people play it so I’m going to turn this monstrosity into its own thing now. And I only allow this verse to exist for posterity’s sake.

P4 but Naoto speaks with a Cockney accent, and she has a cigarette in her mouth all the time. That’s it and she probably comes from a world where the team are legitimately just a bunch of worsties that only pretend to be friends and this is also probably a Naoto multiverse exclusive verse at this rate now okay bye

The story so far:

PAIN I HATE IT HERE

That sounded like a terrible plan, too many avenues for failure. However, Naoto kept the thought to herself. There was no way they could figure out where the path split and which would be a dead end without Kujikawa’s assistance. All they had was Teddie smelling the Shadow and keeping Hanamura in mind. The thought of using one of her spells crossed Naoto’s mind, but she would need to conserve her strength.

So that left the rock, really. All Shadows gave up when they ran too far. Knowing that did not comfort her in the slightest. If Hanamura had come this way, then there must have been an exit. That fact was only 0.001% more comforting.

She sighed—in her head, of course.

“I don’t see any viable options beside that... so, we run on three, okay?”

“There’s an enemy nearby. It smells strong.” Before the shadow entered his own field of vision Teddie could sense its presence. As always, he was ever thankful for this gift that has allowed him to survive in here for so long. This world was Teddie’s natural habitat just as much as it was the other shadow’s.

Teddie didn’t take his attention away from the shadow even as he followed close to Naoto. Right now they knew of the shadow before it knew of them. If they walked up closer it would no doubt give chase but they couldn’t stay here forever either. If only that shadow was busy looking somewhere else. The bear looked towards the little hallway, safe but it could take them away from where they need to go, then back at the shadow. After looking down for a moment while lost in his thoughts he seemed to brighten up again.

“Ok! What if I throw this rock and while the shadow is looking the other way we run for it?” The rock in question was big enough to fill the palm of his hand, “We keep running until I can’t smell it anymore.”

She doesn’t believe him, but as the circumstances helpfully tell her, she’s only a rookie in this kind of game. Five times, she loads the chambers, five bullets to deliver a dosage of non-magic related pain. Move to the side, out the target’s immediate field of vision, then a steady grip, focus on both sights and aim.

Only put your finger on the trigger when you want to shoot echoes through her head.

The man turns around, a gun—Tokarev—in hand.

So Naoto, naturally, aims for that.

One at the gun, once it clatters to the ground, another bullet there, pushing it further away.

And he runs. Only mildly inconvenient, she thinks, scooping the gun off the ground before giving chase.

“We share that in common.” While the brand she uses isn’t cheap, she doesn’t know how people can spend hours on their hair, something she, at most, spends five minutes on. “I find myself pushing others away, too, so I understand, somewhat.” It’s not something to be proud of, and there’s the issue of being alone in a city full of people, but it’s neither here nor there.

“So regardless of whether you wish to share anything or not, as long as you enjoy,” tolerate, “the time we spend together, that’s all I ask for.”

" how charming ! i know of this brand ! " a beat. " of course i'm not the biggest hair enthusiast believe it or not. most of the time i tend to just wake up with naturally fluffy hair. " a giggle. " perhaps the brand i use actually works well without me knowing. i really admire how silky and smooth your hair looks. it feels as if you do not even try and there is just a natural radiance ! " her hands tie in front of her , still keeping the soft eye contact. " i really do appreciate all of the help you've given me today. even if i don't particularly like discussing my father much .. having you here means more than i could possibly say. i tend to push away people when things get especially difficult.

“We only had to watch for long periods of rain.” After Nanako’s kidnapping, that was the first and last time she had to experience the tension of keeping up to date with the weather. “In short, the world inside the TV was foggy, Teddie crafted glasses with special lenses that would remove it from our view when we wore it.” Then, they never wore it again, but she wasn’t about to say that.

“After a few days of consistent rain, fog would appear, which meant the fog in the TV lifted. If the victims were still inside, then, well, they wouldn’t be alive afterward.” In the case of her Shadow, Naoto sometimes wondered if she would have ended up as some kind of horrific scavenger hunt, and that was the subject of a few nightmares...

“Since our main point of entry was in a public spot, we had to make sure no one saw us enter or exit.”

Junpei listened to Naoto, sipping his drink happily once more, and nodded as his mind quickly recalled what the Dark Hour was like years ago. "At least the shadows stay in one place in our situations." He pointed out. "Though, you have to give props to your team, too! It brings memories back to when I was your age and fighting--wait."

Junpei sat upright and crossed his arms. He shook his head and pouted. "I am not that old." He murmured to himself, knowing full well there was only a few years separating some of the Investigation Team and his friends. Junpei shook his head once again and turned his eyes back to Naoto. "Anyway, you mentioned the TV world, right? And the weather? How does those two work together?" He raised an eyebrow, a bit curious on how weather was something they had to keep an eye on.

Aigis was a little stiff, in more ways than one, but it was expected. Right now, in a building that she technically wasn’t allowed in, Naoto certainly felt that way. Perhaps the feeling was heightened by Aigis staring at her with unblinking eyes. Asking for something simple like a glass of water felt as if she was crossing a line. “If I could have a glass of water, I’d appreciate it.”

Unsure of what to do next, she took a seat on one of the couches, back straight and hands in her lap. Which lasted for about three seconds before she fished the phone from her pocket, deciding to read emails as a way to ignore the seconds disguised as eons.

She would need to engage in conversation with Aigis as well. Small talk, books... life in the dorm...

"I am Aigis." She confirmed. She did not exactly know how to behave around this person. She was a stranger and ally to Mitsuru-san. So Aigis didn't know if she was meant to play the role of a student in this situation. It was a bit confusing. Her programing seemed a little lacking. How unfortunate.

"I see." Another person helping. It was good that they had allies. Still, Aigis felt uncertain of what was actually safe to say. She instead she stood there staring at Shirogane, unblinking. What was one to do for a guest?

"Is there something I can do for you while you wait? I understand that you are meant to 'make one feel at home', in such a situation."

She had no idea what the cat was doing that moved Yu, but Naoto decided it was best to avoid inquiring further. Naoto gently kicked a loose pebble, partaking in a solitary game of soccer. Eventually, she directed it towards the grass, still Dojima residence property, and it came to a stop.

Her back was turned, so he couldn’t see the yawn that escaped her. While cats were a way to pass time, it certainly wasn’t her cup of tea most of the time.

After turning around, her eyes landed on Miso, who was... doing something, probably what he had been doing before. “Out of curiosity, how long do you spend with cats?”

A nod came from him in reply. He was relieved that Naoto did not judge him for having such an outlet to cure his loneliness and miserable childhood. It was the only bliss he ever had besides studying vigorously to make his mother happy, above all else. Nothing else mattered until he arrived here in Inaba.

That aside, since the feline was so content with him and letting out more purrs, he was willing to stay there until he had enough, like she said.

"Well, as adorable as he is, I hope he doesn't fall asleep on me. I'd love to carry him around all day, but I'm sure he needs his space." The urge to walk around and move his feet won this time, and he found himself sitting on a bench.

He had noticed that he had been making biscuits with his paws on his shirt... Yu could barely hold back how moved he was.

“Believe me, it will.”

There wasn’t much more she could say on that. Perhaps this notebook would become an amateur’s scrapbook. Not to the extent where she’d purchase stickers and other things, but something nice. People did that, jotting down the positives in life. It didn’t have to be dedicated to one topic.

But if she was going to leave this as something about the positives, who better to be the first entry than Ryuji himself? He was one of the biggest positives in her life. It was corny to think about it like that, but it was true. It just wasn’t something she would say out loud. Needed to be written professionally.

“So thank you again, Ryuji.”

[End]

Honest though his admission may have been, it was equally embarrassing to admit such a thing to her - and it would have been ten times more embarrassing, had she actually acknowledged or responded to his emotional declaration. Thankfully for him, she didn't seem to be dwelling on that and his embarrassment was slowly - slowly but surely - replaced with relief.

"Secrets, yeah...!" He nods his head up and down, slapping his head with his hand - how he had not considered that. Still, what could she have to write about him that could be considered a secret...? All of the embarrassing things he'd said and done? Was she going to write his embarrassing declaration down, later...? Still, he was just happy to see the book would see some use, nevertheless.

"I-I'm glad...! Whatever you end up writing in it, I just hope it can be useful to you!"

I can't speak to accuracy, but I really really love the way you write Naoto and how you write in general. It's so fun picking out little details or getting to understand her better through the hints you put in your writing, and a lot of your writing makes me laugh or smile. Her way of handling things is so interesting to see, too, and I think she's absolutely fascinating as a character because of rping with you. You put a lot of heart into her and I love your portrayal. 10/10 would talk to naoto again!

Your thoughts on my portrayal

Thank you for the kind words! Trying to stay true to the vague shape of canon while making her interesting for people not familiar with Persona can be a bit of a challenge—especially with all of Persona’s dumb lore and my occasional need to shitpost—but I’m glad you’re having fun! We didn’t write much on your old Arthur blog, so I’m thrilled we’re rectifying that now!
