Shattered Justice (A Persona Quest)

You're not entirely sure how you ended up following Morgana through the festival, but as he runs through crowds of students who don't seem to recognize his presence, you can tell that he's excited.

"Nobody thinks anything strange about me being here..." He peers around, barely able to keep still. "And whatever this place is, it's enough to keep me in this form!"

You blink. "You're going to go around the festival, aren't you?"

"I couldn't do this at Shujin!" He points out. You think this might be the first time you've heard of him being associated with Makoto-san's old school, but then, at this point you're pretty sure that Persona Users are magnetically attracted to each other, even across space and time.
It would explain so many things...
Still... when he puts it like that, it's hard not to go along with it. "Well... what do you want to do, then? There's food stalls... More food stalls... even more food stalls..." Why are there so many food stalls?
I mean, I guess Rei-san wouldn't have the perspective to imagine much else... Also, it might not be safe to visit the shooting gallery.
Morgana sniffs the air. "Well... I smell fish over this way!"

"Are you sure you're not a cat?" You get a glare in return. You suppose you deserved that. Looking in the direction he was sniffing in, you pause. "Is that it?"

"Yeah!"

"...That's an ice cream stall." Fish and ice cream don't smell anything alike. "...Also, I don't think cats can eat ice cream?"

"Do I look like a regular cat right now?" Before you can try to argue against his point, he runs on over to the counter. "Do you have fish flavored ice cream?"

The student running this stall, like everyone else, has no particular reaction to the appearance of a talking cat. "What kind? We have sardine flavor, salmon flavor, snapper, yellowtail, and smelt."

"...I'll have one scoop of yellowtail ice cream."

The student nods, as if a cat ordering fish-flavored ice cream is an everyday occurrence around here. "And would you like anything? We have a wide variety of flavors."

"Um..." You probably should order something, but maybe not one of the more outlandish flavors... Wow, that's a long menu... "I'll take a scoop of... um... strawberry chocolate chip?" Okay, so maybe you feel like doing a little experimenting.

"Coming right up." They don't ask you to pay them or anything. Theoretically, you could use this stall as an infinite source of free ice cream.

Admittedly, you're not sure why you'd need an infinite source of free ice cream, but you suppose the option is there for if you do.

The ice cream cones are handed over, and you watch as Morgana takes his with wide eyes. "If you get sick, and anyone asks, I tried to stop you," You tell him, knowing full well that he isn't going to listen.

"Yeah, sure..." Absolutely zero of his attention is fixed on you and you both know it.

"So, um... how does it taste?" You ask, starting on your own ice cream. It's... sweeter than you would have preferred, but you suppose that's what you get for taking the added chocolate chips when there was a perfectly acceptable strawberry flavor there already.

Morgana doesn't answer, happily chewing on a piece of frozen fish.

For obvious reasons, this is not a situation you'd thought you'd ever be in.
I'd hoped we wouldn't end up in the middle of this...
Maybe Morgana will respond to you if you ask about something other than the ice cream...


[ ] Admittedly, you sort of like this 'companionable silence' thing. It might be the most peace you're going to get.

[ ] So, about him finding the Velvet Room familiar...

[ ] What does he think the others are doing right now?

[ ] So, about the bus thing...
