Re: Orchrios
"In an indirect way, yes, it is interference. However, we were not allowed to directly interfere. My counterpart has taken on the form of a Persona, and has driven several people, over the course of many centuries, completely insane. This is why I have chosen to empower those who he takes an interest in with the ability to defend themselves...
As for what we are...In essence, the two of us are two sides of the same coin. That coin is the collective unconscious mind. We are just guides of sorts. It is people themselves who ultimately determine the outcome of events. Aside from those rare times like this, I merely observe, never interact.
If you want a better explanation of Personae...Either seek out the Wild Card and his Guardian, or find my servant in his dwelling. He has just been informed of this meeting, and will welcome you. It pains me to say this, since I am in many ways the source of them, but he is more knowledgeable of Personae than I...Or perhaps, it is more he has a better grasp of the words to use."
The man paused...Then changed back into the butterfly. "My time to speak with you is almost up...But a warning, before I go. Rumors may become reality, especially for those with the gift."
With that, the butterfly vanished in a flash, and the 'temple' faded out...Replaced by a view of the room Bell and Jack had been in prior to the blast. Both had been knocked down, but were effectively unharmed. Over where the white-clad man had been taunting them from stood a man dressed in all black in a fashion resembling a gunslinger, complete with a red bandana/mask, and a hat. He was facing mostly away from the pair, but would turn his head slightly to face them if they shifted.
