Just a short interlude chapter that would focus on the personas. There would be more .5 interludes in the future chapters. I'm giving the personas more depth to their character after all, and not just some "Summoned goon" that it's main and only purpose is to serve the MC.

After watching some videos of the 'steamed hams' meme,  each one earning Nian's affection, D shifted his attention forward, prompting him to shout, "Stop right here!"

Feerzo promptly halted the car, causing a slight jolt. The car now rested approximately a kilometer away from the town of Bytzentin.

Exiting the vehicle, D was followed by a perplexed Nian. "Why are we stopping here?" she inquired, echoing Feerzo's unspoken question.

"No need for the car anymore. Once we're done with this town, we'll be relying on my portals for transportation," D explained.

"Well alright!" Nian smiled at that, giving a thumbs up.

"Does that mean I won't get to drive anymore?" queried Feerzo, still at the driver's seat.

"Yep, and your task for the day is complete. You can head back," D affirmed. With a nod, Feerzo disappeared into small blue circles, absorbed by D's wristband.

D repeated the process with the Toyota, reducing it to blue circles within the storage of his wristband computer.

"Did you really have to stop far away from the town?" Nian asks while gazing at the town. 

"I don't want the locals seeing me dissolving the car and a guy to thin air like that. They would think I'm a wizard or something." D answered. "Like i said before, I don't want to cause any unnecessary attention."

Nian nodded in agreement. "Fair point. Let's go." The two proceeded on foot towards the town. After a minute of walking, Nian couldn't resist her curiosity. "By the way, I'm curious about where you stow Feerzo, Feera, Nathan, and the others in that wristband. Where did they go before you created that mini-world?"

"At first, I kept them in standard storage files until I decided they deserved to roam more freely. That's when I created this world for them," D disclosed, showcasing the miniature world where the Personas resided.

A large house was present which she assumed is where they lived. There are also other structures and areas like a shooting range, a garden, a set of buildings that looks to be ruined, a medium-sized lake, a small forest, and much more.

Nian whistled in amazement. "Wow, that's quite a world you've made for them, though it seems a bit small."

"Externally, perhaps. But inside, it offers enough space for them to explore and familiarize themselves with the surroundings. I just don't like the idea of confining them to small spaces," D clarified.

"You seem to care a lot for your personas," Nian remarked with a smile.

D shrugged. "I guess... They're still assets to me, nothing more, nothing less."

"Tell that to Dusk," Nian muttered, referencing her affection for her 'paintings'. The two of them continued their way on to Byzentin. 

__________________________

The Persona's world.

Feerzo materialized back into his original form, finding himself standing upon a sleek metal octagon platform strategically positioned for the transportation of him and the other personas from their world out of the wristband.

When D calls one or a few of them out if he needs any help, they all go to the platform and stand there in the ready until D transports them out. 

Feerzo begin to walk out of the area as he is heading towards the house by the distance, where he assumed all of his fellow personas would be. He then walks on a wooden bridge over a river. He took a moment to look at it and notices a bunch of fishes swimming about. 

Feerzo notices a red bird landing on the wooden railing, tweeting happily towards the German persona. He could not help but smile in appreciation under his mask. 

"Guten tag," he greeted the feathered visitor, receiving a melodic response before the bird took flight. Chuckling softly, Feerzo resumed his walking toward the house. As he was going there, he saw a figure walking elsewhere. It was one of his fellow personas - Ozone.

"Hey, Ozone!" Feerzo called out to his comrade, who turned in acknowledgment. Like Feerzo, Ozone's appearance also has military elements. But unlike Feerzo, he has the looks of a modern soldier.

While Feerzo is based on the Wolfenstein Nazis, Ozone is based on the 141 NPCs in Modern Wsrfare 2.

Ozone wears a light olive green shirt, cargo pants, and an array of military gear including a tactical vest, kneecaps, and belts. Adorning his head was a strapped helmet, a pair of goggles, and a balaclava that covers his mouth.

"Welcome back, Feerzo!" Ozone greeted with a wave, a smile evident beneath his balaclava. "How have you been assisting our master out there?"

"It vas average, to say the least," Feerzo replied. "But, I can drive now."

"Really?" Ozone's surprise was palpable. "Were you programmed for that skill?"

Feerzo nodded. "I picked it up after our master granted me the ability. Although, it does feel odd not having received proper training for it."

"Yeah, that's the downside of our master programming us with abilities," Ozone remarked.

Curious, Feerzo inquired, "So, where are you headed?"

"Just taking a stroll around the forest, maybe encounter a few animals along the way."

"Why carry your gun, though?" Feerzo gestured towards Ozone's M4A1.

"Force of habit," Ozone replied with a nonchalant shrug.

"Alright...what about engaging in some activities? Like target practice or something?" Feerzo suggested.

"Already done it. Plus, it's now occupied by Jackie and R3700." 

"Oh yeah, they're the snipers after all." Feerzo muttered. "And what about Feera and the rest of the guys?"

"They're all by the house, doing their own thing." Ozone pointed at the said structure in the distance. "Feera's probably gone out trying to flirt with the guys."

"That's her, alright." Feerzo shook his head. "Welp, see ya soon." The two parted ways, with Ozone going to a small forest that D programmed into the world.

After about a minute, Feerzo made it to the front of the house. The house his master gave to him and the rest is a two story small white mansion with modern aesthetics, along with a pool and a yard.

Feerzo stopped for a moment to smile at the beautiful household that D kindly gave to them. He then saw by the living room of the glass door where three personas are playing a video game. 

Due to the soundproof glass slide doors, he couldn't hear what was happening, but it looks like one of them is not winning the game, starting to get angry.

Suddenly, Feerzo felt a pair of hands locking on to his shoulder, letting out a surprised yelp. It was followed by laughing as Feerzo sighs, knowing who it was. 

He turned his head around to see Feera - the Gardevoir persona. Feera is wearing a yellow shirt but still wearing green sweatpants that she used during her mission. Feera kept laughing for a few moments before catching her breath. "Oh man, you should hear that yelp you let out again."

"Hello, Feera..." Feerzo greeted her with a sigh.

 Feera wiped a tear away from her eyes as she finally stops. "Hey, man. Good to see you back in one piece. How did your mission go?"

"It vent well. Wasn't too hard vhen all i had to do was..." Feerzo trailed off when Feera crosses her arms and frowns at him.

"Feerzo, what did i tell you of using that accent? Just speak normal, dang it." Feera says.

"Fine..." The German sighed before clearing his throat a few times. "Alright, how about now?" Feerzo said, now in an American accent. 

"Good, that's a more fitting voice!" Feera smiled, giving him a thumbs up. She then went back to the topic. "Now, what were you doing out there in your mission?"

"Our master wanted me to be the driver for the day along with that 'Nian' friend of his." He explains. "He used that Toyota car that had been in the garage for a while ever since he created it, and let me to use it for him and his friend to drive across the Terra world."

"Huh, couldn't he just use that portal tech of his in the first place? Also, you can drive now?" Feera questioned.

"Maybe D wanted to have an authentic Terra experience or something, and yes I can drive now since D programmed me to do it."

"Woah, sweet! Can you take me for a ride some time!?" Feera asked.

"Eh, no. Not in here, specifically." Feerzo declined, earning a pout from the Gardevoir as she crosses her arms like if she was a child. 

"Fine fine." She quickly shrugs that off. "So, where you off to?"

"Just gonna go back to my room, and check on the rest of the guys." He says.

"Ooh, can I accompany you?"

"You always do that whenever i go somewhere..." Feerzo crossed his arms.

"Hey, I'm your little sister, after all." Feera affirmed. "And i just wanted to spend more quality time with my big brother~."

Feerzo exhaled, remembering how D had programmed for him and Feera to become siblings, despite the huge difference in appearance. Then again, their names are similar, only he has a 'zo' in it. 

All those aside, Feerzo truly begin to see her as his sister. While she can be such a flirtish knack, he still deeply cares for her and would even try to protect her, keeping her from any harm.

"All right, you can come." Feerzo responded.

"Yay!" Feera cheered, her arms raised in up to the air. "You're the best brother ever!"

Feerzo rolled his eyes as he and Feera walked up to the glass door entrance. When he opens the door, his ears were met with the sound of yelling from the living room where those three personas are playing a shooting game.

Feerzo and Feera peeked in to the living room as they saw three of the personas - being Nathan, Cronon, and Matriax. The Anthro snow fox usually hangs out with the two personas in free times, almost like they're buddies. 

In appearance for Cronon, he is a yellow-humanoid cyborg. Hence the name, most of his body parts are made up of yellow metal, except for his face. The skin on his face is pale as the snow while having grey hair. He has a black eye on his left while his right eye was a robot eye in the shape of a red star accompanied with black lines. 

And for Matriax, his appearance is look to be just a regular human with green eyes and short clean cut black hair while he mostly wears a suit that makes him to look like an agent. 

Then again, D based him off as those agents from the Matrix, along with the similar name too. Where as Cronon is one of the original personas that D created along with Nathan.

Currently, the trio are playing a Cod-like game while in a 3v3 match where he and two other bots had to face Matriax, Cronon, and another bot. And he wasn't doing so well. 

"Gah, come on!!!" Nathan shouts as he got killed again.

"What's wrong, Nathan? Giving up?" Matriax taunted.

"Shut up!!" Nathan yelled. He grumbled of how the match was supposed to be just the three against three pro bots, yet somehow the game only puts him with two of the bots, leaving him to fight Matriax and Cronon.

Meanwhile, Feerzo and Feera watched the whole scene going on, a little amused of how angry the anthro fox can be. "Sheesh, Nathan's sure is easy to get ticked off." The latter said with a chuckle.

About a few seconds later, Nathan got killed again by Cronon using an RPG. Nathan gritted his teeth, holding himself for not breaking the controller, all while Matriax and Cronon snickers.

"Wow, dude. You are so bad at this game." Cronon said.

Nathan felt taken aback and argued. "Bad?! How am i bad when i have to deal with C4s, grenade launcher, RPGs, claymores or whatever the hell you guys are packing!"

Matriax chimes in. "You have flak jacket. I don't know why you're complaining-"

"I DON'T. HAVE. FLAK JACKET!!!" Nathan yelled out in rage, causing the two to laugh again from his reaction, while Feera and Feerzo both cover their ears.

"Jeez, handsome fox. Could you ever be quiet for once?" Feera spoke up, making the trio to pause their game and turned towards her. 

Matriax then set his eyes on Feerzo. "Oh hey, Feerzo, welcome back! Good to see ya." He waved at him.

"Hey. Good to see you guys, aswell." Feerzo replied before glancing at the TVs. "So, are you guys having a fun time playing?"

"Yes./No." Cronon and Nathan said in unison, the latter glaring at the cyborg persona. 

"Good, good." Feerzo nodded. "And what have you guys been up to when i was gone?"

"Other than Feera occasionally flirting at us..." Cronon said, looking towards Feera as she chuckles sheepishly. "...not a whole lot happen. We decide to just play a match to waste some time."

"And right now we're just enjoying tormenting Nathan." Matriax turned to Nathan with a smirk as the fox's eyes twitched in anger. "We're supposed to be a team against the bots, but the game somehow paired him up with the two bots we're supposed to fight." He explained.

Cronon starts to chuckle. "You should've seen the look on his face when it happened. He was very shocked."

"Yeah, because matchmaking does not tend to do that!" Nathan complained.

"Or the game knows you love robots." Matriax replied, laughing along with Cronon. 

Nathan let out a sigh as he turned to the German and the Gardevoir, "While I'll be here getting tortured by these two fucks, what are you two doing right now?"

"Just checking up on you guys and the rest of the Personas." Feerzo said.

"And I'm here to accompany him as her little sister ." Feera replied with a bright smile.

"Since when was that implied?" Cronon asks, wondering of them being siblings, despite looking very different from eachother.

"D programmed them to be like that, remember?" Matriax answered to him.

"Oh...right, make sense." Cronon nodded in understanding.

"And if i'm not wrong, you two were also the first Personas to be created by our master. "Matriax then points at Feerzo. "And that leaves you to be the oldest." 

"Yep, that's true." Feerzo nods. "Anyways, have you guys seen Pacifica and Grian anywhere? I've met Ozone and he already told me where R3700 and Jackie are by the shooting range."

"I saw her by the garden." Cronon said. "That girl really likes plants and shit."

"Yep, and I think Grian is still in his room." Matriax replied. 

Nathan emitted a groan of frustration. "I swear, that bird boy likes to be left alone or something. He's been there for hours now."

"He's a shy one, isn't he?" Cronon remarked, earning nods of agreement from Nate and Matriax.

"Oh, come on, guys. You don't have to be that rude to him," Feerzo interjected. "He probably has some personal stuff to deal with."

"Or he could be sleeping," Feera speculated.

"I thought we didn't have to sleep?" Matriax questioned.

"We don't, but it does feel good when I try it," she smiled, reminiscing about the time she attempted a one-hour nap.

Matriax pondered this, placing a hand on his jaw. "Hmm, I might try that out after we're done torturing Nathan~" He smirked, emphasizing the last part.

Nathan let out an exasperated groan. "Come on, let's just get it over with!" he urged, grabbing his controller.

"Alrighty!" Cronon grinned, unpausing his own game with a determined expression, ready to outdo Nathan once again.

"Welp, we'll be getting back to our game now," Matriax said before unpausing his screen. "Tell that shy bird boy I said 'HI.'"

"Uh, okay. Have fun." Feerzo waved goodbye as he and Feera walked away from the living room.

As they strolled along, Feera asked, "Do you think Nathan might make a comeback?"

"FUUUUCCKKKK!!!" The two turned their heads back towards the living room after hearing Nathan's sudden scream of rage, followed by a controller smashing onto the floor while Matriax and Cronon laughed uproariously.

"Nope," the German answered.

______________________

Feerzo and Feera walked along the hallway of the house whilst passing by some doors that lead into their rooms. Each door has a picture of each persona, indicating which room is which. 

Feerzo went in to his room for a moment to change his clothing while Feera waits outside. His room, like the others, consists of a bedo

He took of his helmet and mask, revealing his blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Then he decide to change his uniform to a more casual wear, that being a black shirt and grey sweatpants.

After Feerzo walked out of his room, Feera observed his new clothing with a thumbs up, saying how handsome he looks. Despite it being a compliment, Feerzo felt a bit weirded out that his sister said that to him.

The two continued walking until they reached their destination; Grian's room. Feerzo observed the cartoonish picture of the door. It is a head of a Griffon, a mythical creature. However, the Griffon has black feathers, a skull-like head, and four bright red eyes.

That's right; Grian is inspired by the Griffon Grimm from RWBY.

Feera chuckled, looking at the picture of him being panicked at something. "That pic still gives me the giggles." Feerzo too let out a slight chuckle as he would head to the door.

But before he would knock, he heard something. "Hey, do you hear that?" Feerzo asked Feera, urging her to walk up to the door as they lean in their ears to listen to the sound coming from his room.

"Is that...music?" Feera raised her eyebrow.

"It is...from a guitar by the sound of it." Feerzo wondered if Grian was playing some instruments in there. Only one way to find out.

The German then knocked on the door. A gasp echoed from inside, followed by the clatter of what seemed like objects hitting the ground.

"W-W-Who's there?!" Grian's voice sounded frantic from within.

Feerzo was about to respond, but Feera beat him to it. "It's your crush and her brother."

"Crush?!" Both Feerzo and Grian exclaimed simultaneously, the former taken aback by Feera's answer.

"Oh, cool off. I was just kidding," Feera smirked before casting a sly glance at Grian's door. "Unless you want to consider that offer~"

"No," Feerzo interjected. Like any protective older brother, he could be a bit overzealous when it came to the well-being of his sister, including matters of the heart.

After Feera would pout and cross her arms, Feerzo turn back to the door. "Hey, Grian. It's Feerzo."

"Oh...F-Feerzo. You came back sooner than I expected." Grian said.

"It was only a couple of hours." He replied, then asks, "You mind if we come in?"

"U-Um...any reason why?" Grian nervously asked back. 

"We just want to check up on you."

"Oh, there's no need to...I'm fine." 

"Come on, Grian. Don't need to isolate yourself in your room all the time." Feera said while rolling her eyes.

"Well you also need to respect my privacy!" Grian retorted. 

"Okay, fair point." She admitted. "But still - can't you just come out for once?"

Feerzo nods in agreement. "I agree. We can hang out if you'd like.".

The two waited for a few seconds, knowing that Grian is hesitating about it before they hear his response, "Nggh, fine. Give me a minute."

They waited again for a minute until they hear him opening his door from the inside. When it opened, the two sees his full figure appearance.

Despite being inspired by the Griffon Grimm, Grian stood out with a distinctive appearance. D had crafted him as an anthropomorphic version of the Griffon Grimm, sporting only two legs and a more compact physique, standing at approximately 177cm. This made him slightly taller than both Feerzo and Feera.

He still retain his black feathers and his average sized wings on his back, along with his skull head with his four red bloodshot eyes. Though it had a unique touch. D added white pupils to accompany the red iris, aiming to soften his appearance when interacting with other

Due to him having feathers all over his body, he doesn't need to wear a shirt since his fur already keeps him warm enough. So he only has to wear pants, which were green. Even though he also has fur for his bottom, it is to mainly protect his... parts.

"Lookin good, bird boy~" Feera remarks, giving him the finger guns. 

Feerzo deadpanned at her while Grian's cheeks slowly turning red from embarrassment. 

"C-Can we just go?" Grian asks as Feerzo nodded at him. 

As the trio strolled through the house, Feerzo turned to the Griffon, curiosity evident in his tone. "Hey Grian, what was with the music playing in your room?"

Grian hesitated for a moment before responding, "Uh, what music?"

Feera chimed in, her expression skeptical. "Come on, we heard some guitar strumming in your room before we knocked. Were you trying your hand at playing an instrument?"

Grian, caught off guard, blurted out, "No way! I wasn't playing anything."

Feerzo raised an eyebrow. "Then what was up with the guitar sounds?"

Grian stumbled over his words, admitting, "I was just watching a video of someone playing the guitar."

Feerzo nodded in acceptance, but Feera shot him a suspicious look. She noted his hesitation and, despite his explanation, responded with a nonchalant shrug, choosing to let it go for now.

______________

Feerzo, Feera, and Grian decide to go outside after walking around the house for a minute or two, and didn't want to hear any more rage screams from Nathan.

Grian shielded his four eyes from the artificial sun glaring in the sky outside. "Ugh, so bright..." he muttered.

"That's what happens when you stay in your room for far too long," Feera remarked. "You really need to go out more often and not be a shy, introverted boy."

"I can't help it; our master programmed me to have that personality," Grian frowned, still displeased with the fact that D intentionally designed him to be shy and introverted.

"Well, you've got to learn to overcome it," Feerzo asserted. "D may have programmed you to be a shy guy, but don't let that stop you from finding out who you are."

"I...I guess you're right." Grian said, nervously rubbing his shoulders. He then inquired, "So, where are we going?"

"We're going to see Pacifica," Feerzo answered.

"Wait, really!?" Grian exclaimed. The siblings turned to the Griffon persona, their brows furrowed in confusion at his sudden response. Realizing his outburst, Grian cleared his throat, cheeks reddening from embarrassment. "I mean...I see. Why...is that?"

"Well, I just want to check on her and see how she is doing. Any reason why you reacted like that when I mentioned her?" Feerzo asked.

Feera joined in, teasing, "Yeah, Grian. Do you...have a crush on her?" She smirked, leaning closer to the Griffon, who blushed in embarrassment.

"N-No!" he denied before clarifying, "She's just a good friend of mine..."

"Well, if she is, then I bet she wants to see you out here, away from your room. Let's go." Feerzo gestured, and Feera lightly pushed him forward to follow them. Grian sighed before walking along with them. The trio made it to the backyard, where they found Pacifica tending to the garden.

Pacifica is a human persona - much like Feerzo, Ozone, and Matriax, the only difference of her being a female.

 She has a young appearance while having fair skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair that is tied into a ponytail with a red scrunchie. She wears a light blue T-shirt underneath her pink jacket with white sleeves along with blue shorts, purple leg warmers, and a pair of red sneakers.

Pacifica was created and inspired by Pacifica Northwest from Gravity falls. However, she isn't based on the canon version, rather her Reverse Falls AU version where she is sweet and nice.

D programmed her to be like the AU character, and now she is considered to be the most friendliest Persona. 

"Pacifica!" Feerzo called out to her.

She turned around to the three after hearing her name. "Hello, Feerzo!" Pacifica's smile radiated, as if it could illuminate the world beyond. She then greeted Feera, "Hello to you as well, Feera!"

Feera nodded with a smile. Pacifica's attention shifted to Grian, "Hey, Grian! I didn't expect you to be here."

Grian nervously smiled, waving back at her. "H-Hey, Pacifica..."

"I thought you'd still be in your room by now," she remarked.

"He was, before we forced him out," Feera chimed in.

"Forced him out?" Pacifica raised an eyebrow, a slight frown forming. "Isn't that a bit harsh?"

"It is, but the bird boy needs to touch some grass from time to time. He almost went blind from the sun," Feerzo explained, turning to Grian. "How long have you been in your room, anyway?"

"T-Ten hours..." Grian admitted, bashfully looking down.

"Ten hours!?" Pacifica exclaimed, surprised by the duration. "Nevermind then, you really do need to go out more often."

"Yeah, you're right..." Grian nodded.

"So, how are the plants?" Feerzo asked, glancing at the garden that Pacifica had taken care of since D established it in the house.

"They're doing well." Pacifica kneeled down by one of the sunflowers, lightly touching it. "They always seem happy when I'm here."

"You are their only caretaker after all." Grian reminded.

"Well, why can't you guys become their caretakers like me?" Pacifica questioned.

"I'm not that interested in plants." Feerzo stated.

"Yeah, neither am I." Feera agreed.

Feerzo turned to her, raising his brow. "Aren't you like part plant?"

Feera gave him an offended look. "What makes you say that?"

"I mean...you have green hair and green arms. I thought for sure you are like part-plant or something."

"I'm a psychic-fairy!" she exclaimed. "At least that's what D said from this Pokemon thing of the creature I was based on."

While the two siblings bantered, Pacifica turned to Grian for his answer. "Grian?"

"Well...I'm also not that interested in plants," Grian said. "But...I can help you take care of them, if you'd like?"

The two siblings stopped bantering, turning to the Griffon, while Pacifica was a little surprised by his response but smiled brightly again. "That would be lovely! I can always use an extra hand, especially from my friend."

Grian smiled in return before turning to Feera and Feerzo, the former giving him a smirk, teasing him about the whole crush thing again, making him blush.

Pacifica then turned to the siblings. "Will you two help as well?"

"Sorry, Pacifica. But like we said, we're not that interested," Feerzo said. "Anyways, good luck taking care of them. We're gonna go spend our time elsewhere." He turned around before walking away, with Feera following him.

"Have fun, lover boy!~" Feera smirked, waving goodbye to him as she walked away with Feerzo. Grian, once again, turned red after Feera said that, while Pacifica was confused.

"What does she mean by that?" Pacifica asked.

"I-It's nothing," Grian shrugged it off. He couldn't understand why Feera was acting like that whenever Grian thought of Pacifica. He was just helping a friend out, nothing too much of it...

______________________

Feerzo and Feera walked out of the house and are heading to the shooting range where Jackie and R3700 are. The two took the time to look around the world and saw many of the animals that were put in this world with them.

Birds were flying about, Reptiles basked in the warmth of the trees, the Fishes were swimming in a nearby stream, and the Rodents were scurrying to the tall grasses whenever the personas got closer to them.

Feerzo couldn't help but express gratitude for D's decision to infuse their world with such diverse fauna, a sentiment shared by the entire group of personas.

"You know, D made a good choice for us to add in these animals into our world." Feerzo  remarked as he sees a cute little mouse going on its day.

"Absolutely." agreed Feera. Spotting a rabbit on their path, it locked eyes with Feera and bounded toward her, surprising the two persona siblings.

Feera then smiled before petting the rabbit, the latter melting from the touch of her green hand. "Aww, who's a cute wittle rabbit?" Feera cooed, as she kept petting the rabbit. The rabbit lay down on its back, enjoying the touch.

Feerzo, amused, observed the interaction. "I didn't know rabbits could be so fond of you."

"I had a few encounters with them while you were away," Feera explained. "This little guy grew fond of me after I gave him a little carrot snack."

"Well, they truly are pretty cute," Feerzo admitted.

Their musings were interrupted by another voice. "They are until they grow in numbers and overpopulate."

Feerzo and Feera look over to the voice infront of them as they see the last two personas they were going to see - R3700 and Jackie.

R3700 appears to be a regular human just like Feerzo, Ozone, Matriax, and Pacifica - despite having a name that is usually for a robot. R3700 sported a rugged ensemble with military undertones, donning a hood that concealed his head and most of his black hair. His face is obscured by a mask and face paint.

R3700's appearance is inspired by the sniper class from the game; Spec Ops: The Line. Though having his name to be R3700 was still questionable to him and the other personas, but he doesn't mind of it.

And for Jackie - his appearance is that of a tall dinosaur-like monster at about six feet (181cm) with greenish skin and has reptilian eyes with a yellow iris and black pupils. His clothing consists of a body armor that covers his entire chest along with armored parts for his arms and legs. 

Jackie's appearance is inspired by the Kig-yar alien species from the Halo franchise. The name is inspired of what the species are also called, "Jackals". Jackie is also the tallest member of the personas. 

The two sniper personas were carrying different rifles. R3700's rifle was an M110 semi automatic sniper, while Jackie's rifle was the beam rifle from the Halo game. 

Seeing the two, Feerzo greeted them with a wave, "Hey, Jackie. Hey, R3700." 

"Hey, Feerzo. Good to see ya," R3700 replied. "By the way, you can just call me R3 if the name's too lengthy for you."

"Nah, I'm good with it." Feerzo responded before inquiring, "Aren't you two supposed to be at the shooting range?"

"Eh, we got bored and decided to head back," Jackie explained.

After a brief moment of petting the rabbit, Feera interjected, "So, Jackie, what did you mean by overpopulate?" She was curious about Jackie's comment regarding the rabbit population.

"Well, while I was scanning the entire landscape with my sniper and my keen eyes," Jackie began, gesturing towards his eyes, "I noticed that the rabbit population has been increasing at a pretty rapid pace. D mentioned how these animals are good at multiplying. I did my part and culled some of their numbers."

"Wait a minute... does that mean those shots I heard were you killing rabbits?!" Feera exclaimed, causing the rabbit she had been petting to bolt from the scene, fearing they might be the next target.

Jackie shrugged and explained, "Someone's got to manage the population. Fortunately, D also introduced some predators like snakes and ferrets to keep their numbers in check."

"That feels horrible, though..."

"D mentioned to me it's 'nature,' whatever that means."

"Putting that aside," Feerzo redirected the conversation, turning to the two snipers. "How did your shooting practice go?"

"Well, R3700 is still the best shot..." Jackie grumbled, "We've had a few competitions on who can shoot the best, but this man is really an ace than me, even when I have great eyesight from the species i was inspired of.

"You just can't beat the king, man." R3700 smirked proudly under his mask.

Feerzo chuckled at the friendly banter between the two snipers. "I'd love to see that competition someday," he said, trying to lighten the mood.

Jackie rolled his eyes, "Sure, if you want to witness R3 embarrassing me in front of everyone."

R3700 laughed, "Come on, it's all in good fun. Besides, you're not that bad yourself, Jackie."

Feera, still a bit bothered by the rabbit killing thing, changed the subject. "So, what are you guys going to do now?"

R3700 shrugged. "Don't know. We are going to head back to the house."

"Yeah. Unless D has a mission for us, we got nothing better to do in this world other than exploring or relaxing or sitting around doing nothing. It does kind of get boring." Jackie admitted.

Feerzo, Feera, and R3700 all nodded in agreement. 

"Well, we're probably going to continue strolling around the place," Feerzo remarked.

"Alright, we'll catch you two back at the house," the two snipers bid farewell, waving as they walked in the opposite direction toward home.

Turning to his sister, Feerzo inquired, "So, Feera, what do you want to do now?"

Feera took a moment to ponder before suggesting, "How about we head to the lake? I haven't visited that spot yet, and Nathan mentioned it's teeming with fish."

Considering the idea, Feerzo nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's go."

As they're making their way to the lake, Feera brought up a topic. "Can you tell me about the recent mission D assigned to you?"

Curious, Feerzo questioned, "Why are you asking this?"

"Just curious, that's all. And how was your first experience driving a vehicle around the world, going vroom vroom?" Feera inquired.

Setting the record straight, Feerzo began, "First of all, I didn't go around the world; it was just in the desert barrens of a country. Second, it was a pretty smooth ride, although I had to keep my eyes glued to the road the entire time."

Feerzo then recounted the rest of his adventure, detailing the places they visited and how he found himself asking numerous questions to a group of children, much to Feera's amusement of how her brother hated that moment. 

It ended when D ordered him to stop far away from the next town they're going as D sent him back in along with the car that is now by the vehicle area.

After listening to all of it, Feera gave a satisfied smile. "That sure sounded like fun. I wish I were in your shoes during that."

"Who knows, D might give you another mission, and you can embark on your own adventure while you're at it.

"Thanks, bro. Here's hoping." Feera extended her fist for a bump, and Feerzo reciprocated, their fists meeting in a gesture of shared anticipation. No one would thought a Nazi and a Gardevoir can be great siblings, but they're here and they'll prove it.

======================

Alright, that was the end of the 2.5 Interlude. I hope you enjoyed the reveal of all of the personas I added that would be in the book along with the stuff they're inspired from.

With those aside, It's time for me to continue on to the reactions in act 3! The act where everything is getting real, and where everybody's gonna die.

See you in "Ultimatum".
