Memory Tape

Post-Wakaba’s Death: For Dove


Her footsteps pound against concrete as she rushes down the busy streets, clutching a hand to her chest. The USB stick is held tightly in her palm. She barely pays attention to the people she bumps into trying to avoid them, her heart is pounding.


Wakaba is dead. She saw her shadow dissolve, she heard the gunshot when Akechi shot her. She’s dead. She’s dead. She’s dead.

She’s seen shadows die before, she’s seen the aftermath of a mental shutdown. She knows it’s a matter of time before that happens to Wakaba and

And

And 

And.


And her shadow smiled at them. A gun was to her head, and she smiled with the warmth of which she had only just gotten used to, and she told them where she hidden a copy of her research.


They know Shido wants this. Wakaba knows, and she risked making a complete copy just for akechi. Just for them.


Her fist clenched tighter. 

Akechi had told her to leave after the shadow dissolved, he wouldn’t look at her. He told her to go get the usb.

She tried to argue he should come with but he snapped at her, and that’s when she saw his face.


He looked shaken, like he was trying to keep it together and pretend this was just another target.

She knew he was lying

His face reminded her of his first kill. Of the first time he realized he killed someone. Of when they learned what happens when you kill somebody’s shadow.


She really hates that face, she decides.


She continues to run. The best place to hide is in a crowd, she doesn’t think anyone saw her dig through Wakab’s lab, but if there is a tail she has to loose it.

She can’t loose this.

She can’t

She can’t


She can’t go back there can she? She’s meeting akechi at one of their meetup spots but… what after? She doesn’t have a place to go back to. Akechi’s apartment isn’t safe anymore.

Wakaba’s lab isn’t safe anymore.

She

She doesn’t

She doesn’t have a home anymore. Does she?

That thought makes her stop in place, the noise and movement around her doesn’t matter as all she can hear is her own breathing and pounding heartbeat.


Home… that was what a home felt like wasn’t it? Somewhere that feels safe, where you can return to. Wakaba’s lab is was bright and sterilized but it was home. Wakaba made it home. 

A home where Wakaba would give her books and manga to read. A home where Wakaba would ramble about whatever was on her mind. A home where Wakaba would muse about introducing her and Akechi to her daughter one day.


A home that’s gone now with one word from Shido


Is this what loss feels like? So… hollow…


Seek shelter, little pup. We are exposed!


Fenrir suddenly yells in her mind, she doesn’t know what he sensed but her feet are moving before she can ask. She knows to trust her Persona’s judgment.


It’s when she’s snuck deep into an empty alleyway that she realizes what’s wrong.

Her cheeks are wet, her vision is blurry from tears.

She’s crying.

She’s… she’s crying. 


She’s crying because because because she


She’s lost her home.

She’s lost the place she felt safe.

She’s lost wakaba

She lost the woman who taught her so much.

She’s lost the woman who told her what a family was, and how you can make one of your own with whomever you are close with.

She lost the woman who made her wonder if this was what it was like to have a mother.


Hannei’s breath catches, and her legs fail her as she crumbles into a ball against a dingy ally wall.


Oh, she thinks, as she chokes on sobs and snot and tears mess up her face, this is what grief feels like, isn’t it?


And Hannei wails. 


She curls up tightly and cries into her knees, shaking and clutching the last thing Wakaba gave to them as she cries and cries.


She feels Fenrir offer his silent support, mourning the loss with her.


She feels him reassure that she can be strong enough to never let this happen again.


And as Hannei cries she wonders if Akechi is crying like this too, in mementos somewhere, if he’s grieving too. 


She hates this.

She hates Shido for doing this to her, to them.

And as the tears flow she makes a vow to herself. She’s going to get stronger, so she can do more for Akechi.

So they never have to feel like this again.


Because you protect your own, you protect your pack!


Fenrir howls.


Because you protect your family.


Hannei agrees. 


She wasn’t enough to protect Akechi now, but she won’t make this mistake again. 

She won’t let her family down ever again.

But there isn’t much else she can do right now but cry.

So she cries.

She cries because for the first time she realizes what it really means to loose everything.

And she cries because she wonders if Akechi felt this suffocating grief before.

And she cries because she knows the answer.

And she cries

And she cries

And 

She

Cries

A reunion

Despite her best efforts she’s pacing in front of the Junes store. Phone in hand, waiting waiting waiting waiting.
That text conversation is still fresh in her mind. It’s hee Akechi. Goro is here.
He’s here
He’s here
He’s here
He’s
He’s here and he’s looking for her and-

“Hannei!” Akechi’s familiar voice calls over and she turns. And it’s him, he has his attaché case and uniform and a look on his face like he doesn’t care if his expression is sour.
It’s real and she grins.
“Akechi-kun!” She doesn’t hesitate, dashing over to him and crushing Akechi in a hug.
He’s here and he’s real and solid in her arms. He’s real he’s real he’s real! She squeezes tighter and Akechi wheezes
“Hannei- you’re crushing me-“ he squeaks, and she can’t help but snort.
“Then hug me back or I’ll squeeze the air from your lungs!” She teases, she doesn’t care if anyone sees.
He’s here.
She doesn’t let go until she feels Akechi wrap his arms around her and give her a solid squeeze, and then pats her back in a silent order to let go already.
She does, stepping back, wiping her eyes.
“Sorry, I’m just- I knew you’d find me” he always does. Akechi sighs but shakes his head with a smile.
“Didn’t make it easy for me this time. But we have a lot to catch up” Akechi shifts his weight, resting a hand against his hip. “So, how long have you been here? From what Dove-San said you’ve been here a while”
She smiles at the mention of her friend, but nods. She’s been gathering information for a while now. They need to debrief.
“About a month I think, time’s a bit weird here.” She shrugs, digging around her pockets for her little notebook.
Akechi blinks “a month- how exactly did you manage that on your own?”
“Badly!” She thinks of creating mocktail monstrosities and graffitiing buildings around tokyo, “I think if you hadn’t shown up soon I’d have really lost it” but he did and he’s here and she’s not alone and-
Akechi puts a hand on her arm, cutting her thoughts off. He has an expression she can’t read for a moment, then pats her arm.
“Well, considering the circumstances, you did well. And I’m glad you’re safe”
He was worried about her.
Feels warm.
She isn’t sure how to respond to that so she doesn’t. “Well, I got a lot to tell you! Maybe in there, Junes has a food court!” A part of her is sure the Junes in reality isn’t nearly this expansive, but as long as it is she sure is going to take advantage of it.
Akechi looks at the store suspiciously then shrugs. “Very well, I’ll want all the details you’ve gathered. I’ll share what I have on my end, but I doubt it’ll be as expansive”
Hannei smiles then gives a mock salute. “Yes sir!” She giggles when Akechi rolls his eyes.
The routine is familiar, and she feels a tension in her stomach relax at it.
He’s here. He’s safe. He was worried about her.
She’s still unsure on how they’ll get home but she’s sure whatever happens she can handle it.
She has Akechi with her now. And he’s the smartest person she knows!

Hannei Kugutsu au notes ooc

Notes and background for Hannei Kugutsu up to this point-

Hannei Kugutsu was found by Goro Akechi two years ago on may 15th. She had no memories besides her name, and claimed to be a human distorted by mementos. After striking a deal with akechi where she’d help him in any way she could in return to him helping her investigate what happened, the two have been partners in crime.

It didn’t hurt that soon after this deal was made she remembered her persona Fenrir, weird how he is silent but it’s probably just that distortion at play!

Hannei very heavily mirrors people, and for better or for worse those she spends more time with are whos tendencies and habits that stick to her. And spending nearly all her time with Goro Akechi would work out as well as you’d think.

After an incident where she internalized just how cruel and unfair the world is, she awoke to Fenrir’s full power. At least he’s talking now.

Akechi also ordered her not to kill any of his targets for him. She’s taken this to mean she isn’t allowed to kill anyones shadows. She has no complaints other than wishing she could do more.

She is more than happy to help when Akechi sets up a deal with Wakaba Ishiki, she stays with her in her lab and helps with her metaverse study in exchange for a place to stay. Wakaba sparks some curiosity in her, as well as ideas about family and what that means to her. She’s taken to calling Akechi her cousin now, and even he can’t get her to drop it. Wakaba is fun! She teaches her so many things, and she’s told her she’s a perfectly healthy human! So she must be a human being! She knew it!

But inevitably Shido orders a hit on Wakaba. And Akechi is distressed. But hannei promised to do whatever she could to help him.
So she asks him what she can do.
Despite their best efforts. Akechi can’t stall forever. The hit goes through. But wakaba’s shadow tells the two of a complete copy of her research notes on the metaverse she’s hidden on a usb. Says it’s for them. Hannei is told to retrieve it which she does.
It’s on the way back to where she and Akechi agreed to meet that she realizes she won’t be returning to that little space she could call her own anymore. It’s the first time she cries, and she remembers grief. The world is a cruel and unfair place isn’t it?

She doesn’t mind sleeping in mementos, but Akechi is still a mess, and she swears to find a way to help him. So she digs into wakaba’s research, and discovers her theories on palaces and their power sources. She gets a hunch. What would happen if they stole that power source?

The next time the duo explore a palace, they learn how to change hearts.

She must have done well because Akechi is excited over this new tool he can use. She helped him! And she can steal hearths all on her own if needed. She’s useful!

It’s not long after this that Akechi tells her he found her a new place to stay. Apparently Muhen from the jazz club Akechi likes has agreed to house her in an apartment he owns above the place, as long as she promises to help out around the club. She’s eager to agree. And she didn’t realize how much she enjoyed having her own space again until she had it back.

Akechi has emphasized to hannei that she’s not allowed anywhere near Shido, he can’t know about her. She does whatever Akechi says so she agrees easily. She’s learned how to hide and blend in thanks to akechi. And she’s learning how to craft a friendly persona mask from him too.
She gets better every day.

(This is going to be more bullet points because I’m still working out the details) as the duo continue to figure out what they can do with a change of heart, Akechi is picky on security so decides they need a way to send and remove calling cards without it being traced to them. He knows Shido is aware of cognitive pscience. And he wants him unaware of any changes of heart for as long as possible. So they use this tool sparingly, and decide to recruit a hacker.

By some twist of fate they find Alibaba. And after convincing them of their deeds, agrees to partner with them if they fulfill a request for them. Change Futaba Sakura’s heart.

They do, but it’s a bit more emotionally heavy for Akechi and Hannei than they anticipated. But by the end Futaba has partly awakened to a persona and the palace is cleared. Futaba is upset about being banned from infiltrating the metaverse with them by Akechi, but she becomes their hacker.
Hannei likes her, she shows her more cartoons and anime and teaches her memes.

The team are effective, and hannei isnt even that upset that the investigation into her has stalled due to akechi’s efforts to undermine Shido and his own involvement in the conspiracy.

By the time April of the game rolls around, hannei has perfected her pleasant and curious little girl mask. She’s got a new method to try and regain some of her lost memories, shes going to get stories from other people. Learn about their lives to try and spark memories of her own. She’s convinced this will work, and Akechi doesn’t stop her.

Other notes-
Hannei’s birthday is May 15th, mostly decided since hannei doesn’t remember her actual birthday so the day Akechi found her was chosen. She’s 16 when the game starts but turns 17 before it ends (though for the sake of this rp guess she’s 16)

By this point hannei is aware of some of her quirks like mirroring people and her eyes. But she doesn’t seem all too bothered to figure out why. It hasn’t hurt, and knowing peoples quirks helps her blend in and get stories out of them.

Despite Akechi’s best efforts those closer to him are aware of her being ‘his cousin’ she thinks it’s fun to tease him. He just makes it so easy!
It’s also fun to tease him about the detective prince thing. “I’m the cousin of the detective prince! How fun~”

Hannei isn’t nearly as pleasant or friendly as her mask makes her appear. By this time she doesn’t have much faith in humanity or society as a whole. Akechi and his few confidants are rare outliers in this shitty world. She hasn’t fond any reason to think otherwise (yet.)

She calls a bike she and Akechi use to traverse mementos the ‘Lokimobile’ she put Stickers on it correlating to their persona. Akechi will deny it but she knows he’s having fun.

She centers a lot of her identity around Goro Akechi, to the point where she isn’t exactly sure what would be left without him. She should probably work on that.

Permissions sheet

 

PLAYER

NAME: Sammy
CONTACT: Sammywolfgirl on Discord
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: I’m mostly active during the day and evenings my time (eastern daylight time) pace will vary because I’ve never rped with DW before and still learning
BRACKETS/PROSE: Prose.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Anything sexually explicit. I can handle most things but I’ll edit if that changes

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: I’m open to any platonic affection but hannei is pretty neutral about it. She tends to cling or linger near those she likes.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: She’s been told not to start fights and will try and look for peaceful resolutions but isn’t afraid to throw hands if needed.
RELATIONSHIPS: No <3.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Uh idk what this means but her vibes are off? Like a little to the left at all times
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Is a persona user. Her persona is Fenrir. Does her eyes changing color in the metaverse count as magic? It’s just asthetic. Does mirroring people she’s around count as magic? For my own sake nothing she mirrors sticks here.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Physically healthy! By all accounts medically she’s a perfectly normal human being.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Easily upset when discussing Wakaba Ishiki. Is sensitive about being called inhuman or if her humanity is called into question.

some backstory notes here-

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: Sure
THREADHOPPING: I’ll ask first and prefer to be asked in turn
FOURTHWALLING: Not really,
NOT INTERESTED IN: Romance, sexual content

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: Hannei presents herself as a pleasant, kind, if slightly nieve teenage girl. Usually dressed in a purple argyle sweater vest and rolled up sleeved undershirt with clean pants and shoes. She’s the picture perfect example of an unassuming girl. Although she tends to stare a lot with wide eyes.
AURAL: A pleasant if cutesy quirky tone. Sometimes a bit stilted and can drop of pressed.
OLFACTORY: Vaugly fruity. A bit like a juice cocktail.
DEMEANOUR: it’s immediately obvious that she tends to stare. She tilts her head when thinking, or maybe she’s analyzing something unseen. If you know the tells for someone faking, you can barely notice them- I mean she’s pleasant and polite and not hiding anything or trying to study you and your mannerisms no sir!

Notes-
I’m not actually great with stat numbers but Fenrir would be more defensive compared to Loki. 

Fenrir isn’t a navigation persona or has any navigation ability’s like Robin Hood, but he can ‘track shadows’ in mementos. Which means hannei can track down any targets akechi needs to reach. She just needs a name.

also Fenrir didn’t learn Fervorous Howl until a specific incident. He likely also had weaker versions of some skills when first awakened but this is more his current move pool.
