"..." Reid looked at Stephen strangely from the way he said that.
"Uh, tomorrow. I guess. At 6 in the afternoon or something, we'l meet up by the park...your school should be out by then..."
"..Our team is pretty small...If even one of us get's taken out, we wouldn't be able to do any more for that day...I'm going to get more members tomorrow to remedy that."

I'm a ghost, you didn't see me."..." The teen smirked and finally shut his eyes for a short nap...
He heard rumbling from below him. He opened his eyes, it seemed he truly did drift off...but, was this a dream?
He took a gander of his surroundings. It seemed he was in a seemingly blue-ish room, but it seemed to be travelling somehow. He looked through the window, which had too much fog to clearly see the enviornment he was now in. The most he new, was that he was in an old-style carriage, though it was extraordinarily spacious...
"Welcome to the Velvet Room." Reid turned his attention to the rather odd, seemingly old man, and his female assistant.
"My name is Igor, and I am the master of this room at the time being. And you are?"
"...So, why am I here?" After all the weird things started happening, Reid decided it was better to just take things in stride than question all of it,
"You are here so you can clarify the path you have taken, and learn of your new ability." A table in-between the two sides, the man called Igor placed several cards, face-down.
"I have read your future, but there is not much to say on it, as it seems to lead into a number of possibilities for now...but, we are getting ahead of ourselves, aren't we? Right now, there are only two choices available, the 'root' to the tree, as I might say..."
Reid soon noticed a contract in front of him, which he had not seen before.
"This form is to notify that you are fully aware of the dangers ahead...sign, and your life, and all of those around you, shall be in peril until the very end of your journey."
Reid signed without a moment's hesitation, it was already too late to contemplate this now.
"Ah, well then, I think it is time to finally reveal the secrets to the power that many individuals manifest. The power of Persona. A mask, that represents your true self. You and your cohorts unlocked this power the moment you entered the Grocery Store, though it stayed unused until you truly thought about your life, and your determination to keep moving." He flipped a card up, revealing the image of a man, possibly a theif, and a dog after him.
"Your power, however, is different from most. As you are of the card numbered '0', or '22'. Both the beginning and the end of the Major Arcana, The Fool. But, it seems your power deviates from those of previous guests. Similar to the Wild Card, your ability is one in which your potential only goes as far as you allow it. Based on the bonds of those you trust and befriend, you can combine your Persona with that of another, increasing power, though only with co-operation and teamwork can your power really reach it's maximum level." With the man finished, Reid's sight started to blur.
"Ah, but dawn approaches. You have much more on your mind as of now, yes? Well until next time..." As Reid's dream started to fade, the assistant gave him a key, possibly to this room.
Dawn approached once more. Were Stephen to come downstairs, he would find not only Reid gone, but also half of the contents of his fridge...
Reid finished the carton of milk, throwing it into a trash can and finally finishing his breakfast. He sensed three people who seemed to have been here already, and one new energy that seems to have just entered. His head seemed to be doing better, now that he has unlocked his Persona. Though, he still wondered whether or not It was only a dream...
He checked his pocket, the Velvet Key inside.
"Nope. Not a dream." He non-chalantly wandered around town.

I'm a ghost, you didn't see me.Eran walked into town, his stomach grumbled, it'd been at least two days since he had gotten a proper meal, which for a kid his size felt like an eternity. He wasn't a kid anymore, he thought. He was living on his own now and had been for... well, he wasn't sure how long but over a week at least.
Still, something was different. Since that night, he had felt compelled to wander. This was the first time that he felt like he had actually arrived.
His stomach grumbled.
The feeling he had arriving in this town was nice but he was more focused on getting food.
-Cheng Wu-
"Singing about my favorite food~!" Cheng skipped down the sidewalk to his trailer. He was holding a bag from Tim Hortons. This would be an odd sight since a guy wearing a long coat is skipping while holding a bag from a coffee shop.
Today, Cheng's hair seemed to be combed from a pillow. Not showing a hint of care in the world. Maybe it was because nobody visited him last night. Man, he must live a cozy life.
Wait, where was I? Oh, right. Wu was nearing the outskirts of town, where his trailer resides.

"Oh. Hey Cheng." Reid waved.
"We meet at 6 PM. At the park. My name is Reid. Go there. You too. Now, if you don't mind, I'm looking for more people with the Gift we have. Fill him in on whatever. He has the Gift too." He left rather quickly, he'd focus on bonding with others later, right now they had to create a team.
I'm a ghost, you didn't see me.Sitting at a street corner on a small step was a young girl with a cheerleader uniform on. She had only just now gotten the news that she had gotten a very rare disease. She was diagnosed as having a few scant months to live.
She was far from cheerful at the news.
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."

"When will I see you again?" asked Stephen.
