[Joshua half smiled at the other's words for they brought Clive to mind. The expression worn too recalled thoughts of his brother. Calling on a Fire spell, Joshua guided it onto their opponents and moved into the fray.

Looking around, he pointed.]

That line of them there seems to fit the bill.

[castoredux]

Good.

[ Shinjiro wasn't a man who went looking for a fight, but he sure as hell was willing to finish them.  His Persona afforded him the greatest strength of any of his friends at the cost of having nothing but physical abilities at his disposal, but it suited him well. He was a straightforward fighter. If they wanted a battle, he'd damn sure give them one.

He lowered his stance, a slight smirk crossing his face as Joshua's fire ignited one if them, its mechanical footfalls slowing as its internal parts turned to slag. He didn't close his defenses or anything so skilled as that. He trusted the brute force of his attacks would cover any lack of discipline on his part.

And he was right. The first of the line of new attackers connected with his brandished street sign, getting flung back into another approaching from behind. It seemed, though, for every one he took down, another two sprung up behind them. ]

Stubborn bastards.

[phoenixawakened]

[Joshua readied a fireball again but the one he already had going was working. So he resorted to using more fire and his sword skills, keeping an eye on his companion as healing magic was available to him. He only paused when he heard the other man speak and he smiled.]

That they are, but then so are we.

[castoredux]

You're damn right.

[ With a plan to make quick work of the rest of their new guests, he lowered his axe for just a moment, pulling a shining pistol from a holster on his hip and placing it to his temple. ]

Let's end this.

[ Before any sort of protest can occur, he pulls the trigger. A burst of energy explodes from the end of the pistol and Shinjiro's eyes glow vibrant blue. ]

Come on, Castor!

[ The eruption explodes from what seems to be the top of his head, a whirl of more blue energy that coalesces into a hulking figure behind him, astride a strange, horse-like mount. Shinjiro's body tenses as he shoves the pistol back into its holster, then gripping his head. The figure grasps the spearhead protruding from its chest and twists it, Shinjiro's grunting in pain as it does so, and then he hefts his makeshift weapon again, blood tripping like tears from one eye.

He shouts a battle cry and charges ahead into the fray, jumping up and bringing the weapon down with a concussive blast of impact, sending a wave of sheer force into the approaching mammots, sending them flying in all directions. He waits to make sure none of them are getting up before he goes to stand, steadying himself with the shaft of the sign as he does.

The figure dissolves as he breaths heavily, wiping the rivulet of blood from his cheek. ]

Assholes.

[phoenixawakened]

Joshua had no idea what his companion was doing, but the pistol to his head had him a little worried even if he had no real idea as to what was going on.

His blue eyes widened as the new figure seemed to come out of nowhere. Even in battle as Joshua had locked swords with one of his opponents temporarily, it had him stop for the briefest of moments.

Finishing his opponent with a flurry of Fire magic, Joshua made sure that this figure's work was uninterrupted. And after, he approached his battle companion even if careful to still stand a small respectful distance.

"What was that?" Did they have Eikons of sorts here too?

[castoredux]

He already felt Castor's regeneration restoring his wind and he looked back to the guy who'd jumped in to help him, taking in his appearance for the first time. It wasn't too weird, sort of fantasy and old school, but considering where they were currently living, it wasn't exactly out of place. He knew a lot of the faces of the people who'd come from other worlds, though, even if he didn't know their names, and this one was new.

"Kind of a long story." One didn't simply explain Persona. "You new?"

[phoenixawakened]

Joshua was somewhat disappointed at the answer he received, but it wasn't any of his business. He wouldn't appreciate questions if his Eikon had appeared and so it was just as well.

He then nodded. "I am new, and I suppose it must be obvious."

No one else here dressed as he did. Compared to them he definitely looked like he was a man out of time or place or both.

[castoredux]

"Only 'cause there ain't many of us." And Shinjiro made it a point to at least know the faces of the people who'd arrived here from other worlds. You never knew when it was important to know someone, and everyone dressed weird here.

"I ain't sayin' I won't tell ya, just not here." He deserved that much. He did have his back, after all. "Besides, I never met anybody who can use magic without a Persona." So color him curious.
