You sit in a gray cubicle.

It is your three hundred and forty-seventh day in this gray cubicle, by your reckoning. A cheap headset is strapped to your ear, wired to a phone you can't dial or turn off. This is connected to a computer - some cheap refurbished desktop model. It only runs one program, and you can't turn it off. This program lets you dial out to phone numbers it selects for you and presents a brief questionnaire and some fields you're supposed to fill in. It's not telemarketing, as you insist to every new person you meet, it's market research. Totally respectable. You ask them some questions about what fast food they like, what shampoo they're using, whatever, and if they answer things just right they'll be brought in to eat a new sandwich from the fast food place and be given twenty bucks.

On a good day you can get up to ten answering machines in a row before someone picks up and screams at you for calling them at home.

"Hello sir," you say.

"My name's Janine. Do I sound like a man to you?" the woman on the other end of the line snaps. She totally does. "How the hell did you get this number?"

>pretend you didn't hear it and press ahead with the questions
>explain that you have a list of phone numbers from people who accepted a promotional deal at the fast food restaurant

"Names are randomly selected from a list, ma'am," you drone. You can feel your heartbeat starting to beat harder. You hate this woman. You hate this shitty job. You hate wasting four years and god knows how much money - you're honestly afraid to look at your student loan paperwork - on a degree when you were just going to keep working the same job you got to pay the bills through college. "You put your number down and expressed interest in any potential coupons or free offers, and this..."

"Don't you take that tone with me!" she snaps. You can feel the blood pulsing in your ears now. If you could afford to see a doctor they would probably call it high blood pressure. You're wondering if it's possible to hate someone to death through the phone.

"I'm not taking a tone, ma'am, I'm merely explaining to you that - "

"I want to talk to your manager. It is ILLEGAL for you to call me, and I want to know how you stole this number!" she says. Practically yelling at this point.

>pass her on to your manager, fuck it
>just disconnect the call and hope nobody notices

"....certainly," you say, gritting your teeth. "We didn't steal the number though, you signed up for - "

"I didn't sign up to be harassed and tricked!" she shouts. You click a button marked TRANSFER and select your manager's station.

You take the opportunity between calls to take a few deep breaths. It's been a long, shitty evening shift, but you're only an hour from going home.

The phone clicks to life. "Hello?" a confused voice asks.

"Hello, mister..." He didn't fill in the name field on this one. Crap. "...sir! I'm calling on behalf of - "

"It doesn't matter who you're calling from. If you reached this number you have a problem." Your blood starts boiling a little. Just warming up. "You're in danger. What's your name?"

"It's - "

"James," you say. "Mister..."

"Renfield. Listen, you don't have much time. How do you feel right now?"

"I'm...just happy to be talking to you today, sir," you say.

"Don't lie. This is important. Are you angry? Depressed? Happy?"

"Quite happy," you say. Maybe a little more firmly than you should. The little message box on the program you can never close begins flashing. Your supervisor wants to see you in her office. "Unbearably happy, even."

"Listen, however this happens for you it's going to happen soon. Keep your eyes open and try to keep on an even emotional keel. Do you understand me? Try to stay calm."

"I'm not sure what - "

"I have to go. If you're lucky we'll be meeting each other very soon," Renfield says. "Good luck."

With that he hangs up. Weird, but not the weirdest you've had today. At least this one wasn't clearly taking a shit when he answered the phone.

Your manager is a middle-aged woman, the sort who started in this job and kept it so long they had to promote her.

"Alright, you know why you're in here, right?" she asks. "Caller complaint, form says you're going to work on tone, yadda yadda yadda."

"My tone was perfectly fine," you say, trying to keep your voice level. "She flipped out the instant I spoke."

"That's not what she said, and the boss says we go by what they say. Just sign the form and take a break, okay? You're looking kinda rough."

"Sure, okay, whatever," you say. You lean over and sign it. Third one this month, which means you're going to have to come in for an extra meeting where they threaten to fire you for awhile. The blood is pounding in your ears so loudly now that you barely hear your supervisor advising you to go take your break.

Five minutes later your head is down on the shitty breakroom table, eyes closed. A half-eaten bag of overpriced M&Ms is on the table. You made it halfway through the bag before a cavity started hurting you. A cavity this job doesn't give you the insurance to get filled.

"Good evening, Mister Russell. It's a pleasure to meet you, since we're going to be working together."

You raise your head. Some weird guy is there. Probably new? Usually they don't stick new guys with the overnight, though. And they usually don't look like barely-animated grinning corpses, either.

"Hey, I'm James. You are...?" you ask.

"Renfield. It appears you've been delivered to my realm a little ahead of schedule."

You notice the room has changed. What was formerly a charmless mess of pastels and off-whites looks...dingy. Like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The light changed, too. Too harsh and glaring over the table, but just outside of the light the shadows are so thick you can barely see the edges of the room.

"Welcome," he says, "to the Midnight Shift!"

"I've been on the midnight shift for awhile," you say. The anger - or the sense of your blood pounding so hard it might rupture something - is growing stronger. "Did a light burn out or something?"

"You'll - wait, this is - argh!" Renfield shoots to his feet and clutches his head in his hands, knocking the chair over. He stumbles away a few feet, back to you, muttering something. You catch the words "ignorant fool" being tossed around a lot. A lot of what you think might be cursing in German.

"Hello?" you ask.

"WITH YOU IN A MINUTE," he says. Pulls something out of his jacket pocket and stuff it in his face. As he turns around he wipes a thin trickle of something from the corner of his mouth, staining his already filthy jacket red.

You decide not to focus on that.

"Good sir," he says, trying too hard to sound normal, "You've hated a hole in the universe. You now find yourself in the hidden hour between midnight and twelve oh one, a landscape made of desperation, fear and frustration."

"Sounds legit," you say.

"You're taking this all remarkably well," he says. He pulls a deck of cards from his jacket, the cards as greasy and ragged as his clothes.

"If I'm being honest, I'm kinda assuming I'm either asleep or I had a stroke," you say. "Besides, this sounds similar to some creepypasta about a similar thing happening in Japanese high schools. Are you going to make me do a tarot reading?"

"Ha ha ha ha, no. Well, kinda," he says. He finishes shuffling, sets the deck between the two of you. "Cut the deck and draw a card, would you?"

You cut the deck and flip over a card. The Jack of Clubs.

"Interesting," Renfield says. "Historically the Clubs replaced the Wands. I guess that explains how your powers will be expressing themselves. The Jack is equivalent to the page. So, Page of Wands."

"What about the Knight? I thought the Jack took over the Knight."

"I don't think you're ready to call yourself the Knight of Wands just yet, boy," he mutters, stuffing the cards back into his jacket. "You're going to be lucky to make it out of the night alive. Then we can talk."

"Wait, what do you - "

"You seem familiar with the basics. Somewhere in this labyrinth you'll find yourself," he says. "If you tame it, you'll survive. If you don't then I'll send some flowers to your funeral."

He stands and puts out his hand. You shake it, barely aware of what you're doing.

"Good evening, Mister Russell. I truly hope we can continue to work together in the days to come."

With that he walks out of the breakroom. You run after. No sign of him in the hall.

More problematic, this isn't the office you were working in. It's similar, but yours wasn't cavernous, covered in shadows and blood-stained as far as the eye can see. The raw anger in your chest surges.

You were a student once, focused on quantum physics. Made it out with a degree that didn't prepare you for a goddamn thing in the world.

You avoid the cubicles for now. They're poorly lit - worse than the rest of the place is, at least - and something in there seems to be moving. You take a hallway north for now.

Turned out there's not a lot you can do with a bachelor's in quantum physics You can send out grad school applications and keep working a terrible job that makes you hate yourself. Hate the world around you. Hate your more successful friends who've fallen out of touch with you as they move on to proper jobs.

Something smells like it's burning. You look down to see a bit of smoke rising from the ground. Specifically where your feet are touching it. You step forward again. The carpet beneath your feet continues to smolder. Your face begins to feel flush - fuck, your entire body does. Too much heat.

"Okay, I seem to be generating heat," you say. To nobody in particular, but it seems like making some observations could help. "Also a psychological change of sorts. Anger? I feel the angriest I've ever been, but it won't stop. Seems to escalate."

You search for a combustible material. Paper? Combustion point for paper is something like four hundred degrees, right?

You veer from the hallway into the cubicles, hoping to find some scratch paper or a notebook or something. You go through some drawers (careful to touch as little as possible) until you find someone's appointment calender.

You tear out a page at random. The color changes, similar to how a piece of paper too close to the oven will change its texture and color, but nothing's really happened yet.

The page itself is...strange. It's for last month. Random dates are crossed out entirely. Others are filled with things that nobody would write down. Wanted to fuck neighbor, didn't work up the nerve. Nearly told younger daughter she's my least favorite child. Dream of suicide, woke up crying without knowing why.

The paper finally ignites in your hand. The pounding in your head is so strong that the corners of your vision are starting to go dark with each pulse of your heart.

"I seem to be...growing angrier. And hotter." You stumble back to the path. You touch the wall for balance, turning some of the blood on the wall to steam. "Temperature rising."

It's been awhile since you read the Creepypasta on fightchan's /x/ board. You used to get drunk and troll their page when you were in school.

Persona. That's what it was called. During a midnight hour you enter a mysterious space and face down your inner demon. Or your friends do it for you. The manifestation of your inner emotional strife.

There was also something about the guy this happened to dating five women at once. Or he only dates one but he's got a choice. Or he dates some guy named Yosuke. That part seems to get changed at random.

As you move north you see stairs. Coming from somewhere upstairs is a drumbeat pounding in tune to your heart. Something up there is roaring, angry.

Time to head up.

Looks like you don't, so no, it's not PapaN. As you can see by the "Street Fighting Man" in the namefeild.

Anyway, if rolling works like the last quest, the one will just cancel out the 20, and we'll be left with the highest other roll, which was a 17.

Although rather than it being both ways, it might have been that a 20 overrides a 1, and the other way around doesn't, in which case we're good.

I only ever reroll 2 times. Its an anon code of honor.

However why not have the human shaped bundle of atoms occasionally shift into different versions of rape-woody?

We keep the atoms and throw in terrifying sexual repression.

That is an excellent compromise.

Because Woody would creep US out. No man of science would permit Woody.

The conference room is the size of an aircraft hanger. Just, unnecessarily huge.

In the center is...your Persona, you guess. It's absurd looking. Looks a little like the atom diagrams you used to see in science classes - thick black lines connecting spheres - except in the shape of a man. An oversized red atom makes up the head.

It's slouching in a pose similar to your own. You stumble towards it, the pounding in your head growing louder with each step.

As you draw close you go weak in the knees. The pain in your head is growing to be too much. The Persona - whatever the fuck this thing is - reaches out to you.

You reach out to slap away the Persona's hand. Or rather the long black line that is its arm. It feels weird to the touch, almost plastic-like. It ignores your rebuff and reaches out again, this time with both hands. You struggle away from it, putting your arms out. It's like the thing's trying to hug you.

You try to remember what happened now in the copypasta. More importantly, how to tame it. This is when you remember there are like four different versions of the story and Personas work differently in each one.

Contract implies more than one.

Keep the talk command open - it's handy.\

Seeing as how we're burning at at least 400 degrees lets hold off on hugging.

"Persona!" you say.

It cocks its head.

"...do...do you feel...fuck. Are you as angry as I am?"

It just leans in and tries putting its arms around you again. It feels ice-cold, actually. You try taking a step back.

"Doesn't seem to be able to speak," you mutter to yourself. "Feels cold, then again I'm currently something over four hundred degrees. I'm so angry I can barely see," you mutter to yourself. "Maybe...what kind of atom are you supposed to be, anyway?" you ask it.

It places a hand on your shoulder. You begin to calm down - at least, you're not so angry your head hurts anymore. You actually start to feel a little numb.

"Wait, what's...what are you..."

You're too slow to stop it from putting its other hand on your forehead. You notice the Persona has begun to heat up as you slump to the floor, physically and emotionally numb. This isn't so bad. Maybe it'll just be angry enough for both of us.

You barely even register someone kicking in the door, or your newfound atom-powered Persona throwing its head back and screaming an inhuman roar. Defending its territory? Its food?

"It has a victim!" a woman's voice shouts. Sounds like two people are there, maybe? "I summon thee, Bellerophon! Attack!"

Lolfuck, that wasn't actually our persona at all, was it?

Most personas (at least in the later games) have to be beaten into submission before they stop being dicks.

>>21764256
>our persona is a FUCKING EMOTICON
Or something like the Exile in KOTOR II, something that feeds off the excess emotion of others, leaving a void. In time, it will grow in both size and voracity, and will leave this world devoid of emotion.

Remember in P2:EP, where you could talk your enemies into going away? And start rumors that you were the wealthiest, most badass S.O.B. to walk the face of the Planet, and monsters would flee before you? Yeah, I miss Maya.

Or Devil Summoner. Remember Raidou? He'd just point at the monster, and say 'Get in the Tube'. And they did.

Without giving too much away, this Persona isn't the only one that gains power by sucking out your emotional energy. That may wind up being its nickname, though, since this one isn't mythology-themed.

What blows my mind is that now we have Rape Face Woody as a possible end game boss.

I mean come on, imagine a dungeon built around a day care center or a toy store and at the end of it is Woody, Ender of innocence with the corpses of his victims carefully preserved and stored in plastic containers so he can use them for later fun time.

The thread has autosaged and we're stopping until tomorrow. As you might be able to tell if you scrolled up a little.

Needless to say, we will be watching....closely.
