I don't know Elizabeth, but I've heard of her from someone else. Lavernza was mine...she became Caroline and Justine during most my stay in the cell.

[???]

The god Yaldabaoth, created by the masses in their desire to be controlled wanted to become the ruler of the world. It proposed a game to Igor to see if two subjects would be able to either recreate the world from nothing or save it, but then kidnapped him so that he could mold me into a Trickster before removing all hope from me. The game was a sham from the beginning.

[foolaround]

... Fate and gods again. [ she sighs. ] And it was... a cell, for you? It was an elevator when I was there, but--

[ no. not the point. ]

But you lived--you made it through. Right?

[chainlinks]

It seems to be a common theme with us.

[But that was an odd comment to make. Joker was a fool but not that type of fool. Besides, Souji hasn't said something like that at all...]

I did....I shot a bullet into his head. But I have a feeling if you're asking...that something happened with you.

[foolaround]

[ she rocks on her heels, trying to keep that practiced, easy smile on her face, tone airy. ]

Yeah, I died. Created the Universe Arcana with Igor as my last trump card, gave up my soul to seal the goddess of death and night. My life for six billion. It couldn't be helped, you know?

[chainlinks]

[It's not an easy facade to break, but Ren's pretty good at them.]

...I'm sorry. [It's something they'd all do, true, but few had to go that far. Him, Souji...they were World Arcana. He places a hand closer to his eye and sees it in front of him.]

I see it more clearly now, above your head. It's really bright...

[foolaround]

... You can do that? [ OH MAN THANKS FOR THE SUBJECT CHANGE ] That's so unfair, Joker-kun, why didn't I get something that cool!

[chainlinks]

[...Minako please. You have the world on your shoulders literally and this is how you react. He can't help but laugh and want to cry at the same time.]

Well Yaldabaoth gave it to me pretending to be Igor. It lets me see how powerful the enemies are or spot my confidants with their arcanas floating above their head no matter form they take...well of course if there's two Emperors, that makes things a little harder but...

[foolaround]

[ she is... an excitable girl ]

... Confidants. You called them confidants? Oh, man, how far does the Phantom Thief-y stuff go?

[chainlinks]

[Very much so. But at that comment he gives her a wink and a confident grin.]

We stole the world and people's distorted desires.

[Mic drop.]

[foolaround]

Man, your stuff is so much cooler than ours was, that's not fair...

[chainlinks]

I don't know, Execution Squad sounds pretty hardcore if you ask me...

[foolaround]

We didn't get cool outfits or code names, we just had armbands!

[chainlinks]

Maybe you should have...but to be fair we only did that partly due to Mona's influence.

[foolaround]

Another teammate? [ she thinks, then waves her hands. never mind, joker, that's not a rabbit hole she needs right now. ]

I met Yusuke-kun back at the government center, too... He's really nice.

[chainlinks]

[More like a cat-hole...Joker's face looks iron at her statement, however.]

Who is Yusuke-kun ?

[foolaround]

[ looking kind of unimpressed right now, joker. ]

I met him without his... you know, gear first, then he summoned it in front of me. [ she waves a hand. ] I know, okay? I won't go passing it around.

[chainlinks]

[Kind of unimpressed with you too, so there .]

Even if it isn't the same in this world and don't have the government on our backs, you have to understand why I'm protective of my teammates.

[foolaround]

Of course I get it, I led my own team, remember? [ she drags a hand back through her hair. deep breath. that could've gone better. so, changing gears: ]

We basically just met, I understand. We have some things in common, sure, but that doesn't give you much reason to trust me...

[chainlinks]

[That, at least, seems to help him calm down. Joker was quick to go into action if he felt his friends were threatened.]

No I...should apologize. I can see your card, and I'm sure you're truthful. It's just that my friends mean everything to me.

[foolaround]

[ she smiles at that, visibly relaxing a bit. ]

I know the feeling, Joker. Mine too.

[chainlinks]

[And he smiles back to her as well, feeling a little silly for jumping the gun so fast.]

I know it's not the best place in the entire universe but...I hope you can at least meet some of your friends here...you deserve it.

[foolaround]

[ minako grins wider at that.fate doesn't care what we deserve, she thinks, but-- ]

Thanks. Really, I like this place a lot, though... and, umm... I get why you're being careful? But I do hope you might eventually feel like you can trust me with... you know, the Thief-y stuff.

[ she won't pry about his identity. ]

[chainlinks]

Well...

[His smile turns into a smirk.]

Before I reveal anything, you'd need to meet the other me, don't you think? Won't be much of a reveal if I take off my mask right now. "Oh hey, here's a guy I don't know!"

[foolaround]

[ she laughs at that, reaching out to try lightly smacking his arm. god, this theatrical asshole. ]

Show-off!

[chainlinks]

[He lets her smack him, but quickly moves out of the way after that to 'reappear' on the other side of her. He is truly the greatest theatrical asshole.]

Did you think someone who is the leader of the Phantom Thieves would be anything less? I jumped out of a stained glass window once.
