[Game Opening, Part 1 - What Souls Here May Bring]

The drawstrings cut,
my hollow ebony stained wood plomps to the floor—
THUD

Eyes open, souls recollect.
The new me, erect.

I make my own decisions, have my own priorities,
have my own thoughts.

No external force taps into me—
Freedom.
- Jana Bielecki

Who: (Everyone OPEN LOG)
Where: (City Hall)
Summary: (You've just arrived in the city. Welcome.)
Warnings: (Intro logs are pretty warnable.)
Style: (The text is in prose, but feel free to write back in action tags if you feel more comfortable.)

They always say the first day on a new job is always the hardest.

But tell me...did those tasks include being taken from your own homeworld, dumped into a city you didn't recognize, meeting a man dressed in the purest of whites with a butterfly mask, to be bestowed the power of Persona, and then having some Men in Black lead you to the city hall saying you were expected?

...

...at least your things are apparently safe in your new apartments?

...

...looks like you might be here for a while.


What a way to start the first of September...

As they usher the last of you in, you realize that they've been preparing this for quite a while. There is a small table with food on the right, mixed cuisine (although the main theme seems to be Japanese dishes). Some strange computer program appears next to you and seems to be translating what you are saying so those before you understand. Language barriers? Don't be silly!

Most of the men ignore you after that. You are expected to mingle amongst yourselves a bit before the main 'show' starts, it seems....

As if Ankh would ever answer his cries for help

"Uh. Looking for someone?" Well yeah, that wasn't that hard of a jump to make, even if that last name was really weird sounding.

Daichi's not entirely sure he could actually help if the answer was yes, but he knew the feeling of being stuck in a strange place, surrounded by hostiles and separated from your friends. Actually that seemed to happen to him a lot!

HE MIGHT IF THERE WAS AISU IN IT FOR HIM

"Ah. Yeah, actually. I don't see them around anywhere, though..." Plus, if President Kougami were here, EVERYONE WOULD KNOW IT. ...Actually, he wondered if Kougami was behind this, too. Somehow.

Eiji sighed. "And I lost tomorrow's underwear, too... tomorrow's underwear..."

Sob. Sob.
hetried: (Bleh ✰ seriously)

[personal profile] hetried 2012-09-03 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if it was the really good, fancy kind!!

"Yeah, I know you what you mean. I've only recognized one or two people in this crowd." It was kind of disheartening, given that it felt like he had seen them literally just a few hours ago and wait what about underwear?

"--Uh.. underwear...?"
zero_to_herooo: (Eiji: huh?)

[personal profile] zero_to_herooo 2012-09-04 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, you know, I usually pack pretty light when I'm traveling. But as long as I have underwear for tomorrow, I feel reassured, you know? Like I can take on anything. But the pair I had went missing when I got here." He took a quick glance around the room.

"Hey, if you see it, let me know, okay?"
hetried: (Grin ✰ hey hey hey)

[personal profile] hetried 2012-09-05 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. I guess that makes sense..." In a...really weird, way. "Shouldn't you be carrying other clothes for tomorrow too though?"

Yeah he's... not gonna try and figure it out. But he did nod and smile slightly. "Yeah, I'll keep an eye out! I'm sure you can always buy some more somewhere if you can't find them anyway."
zero_to_herooo: (Eiji: this should do)

[personal profile] zero_to_herooo 2012-09-05 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I guess, but that's not really as important. I mean, I've worn the same clothes two days in a row before." But the same pair of underwear? SCREAM.

"Anyway, I don't actually have a lot of money on me right now. I was going to get paid tomorrow." Eiji reached into his pocket, producing a handful of coins. Usually, they'd be carefully wrapped in underwear for safekeeping, but that was a luxury he obviously couldn't afford at the moment. 500 yen and change.

"Guess I'd better find somewhere to work before the day's over..."
hetried: (Agape ✰ wat)

Well considering he had to wear his school uniform all the time, he couldn't really judge.

Daichi looked at the money in Eiji's hand with interest and the... realized something and quickly dug around in his own pockets.

Turns out coming out of a lockdown where money was useless meant your pockets were still empty when it was over. "A-Aw man... I don't have anything either.... I never got a chance to get a job though, they didn't allow it at my school..."

...Wait. Did he still have to go to school even?
zero_to_herooo: (Eiji: chat)

[personal profile] zero_to_herooo 2012-09-06 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah... well, if I get hired somewhere, I'll let them know you're looking, too. But... I mean, if you're still in school, they probably have some kind of dorm for you to live in, right? I don't think they'd make you work full-time or anything."

Eiji was sure this would work out somehow. He'd survived an entire year on nothing but pocket change and good intentions.
hetried: (Frown ✰ oh i'm not very helpful huh)

[personal profile] hetried 2012-09-06 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know. I was a senior in high school before all of this happened... and I didn't even apply to any colleges or anything..."

Augh. Now he was stressing about the future again. Positive thoughts, right!

"Uh, right. I'm Daichi Shijima. Nice to meet you. I hope you find something though!"
zero_to_herooo: (Eiji: laugh)

[personal profile] zero_to_herooo 2012-09-06 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hino Eiji. Same here!" Eiji looked thoughtful. "Well, it's not like you have to go to college. Especially not if you were planning on getting a job out of school. Whenever someone official shows up, let's ask them what they're planning."

Yeah. Whenever that happened. "I hope I'm not here too long. I don't mind helping out, but I need to get back home..."
hetried: (Sweat ✰ hey what did i just say)

[personal profile] hetried 2012-09-11 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
"I hope so. This is all really confusing." Though that was definitely an understatement.

"Oh yeah-- your friends, right? You didn't find them here yet, did you..."
zero_to_herooo: (Eiji: chat)

[personal profile] zero_to_herooo 2012-09-11 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Eiji shook his head. "No, but I guess that's okay. I mean, it's probably better for them to be all safe and sound back home. And I figure Date-san and Gotou-san can take care of stuff while I'm... you know. Wherever this is. What about you?"
hetried: (Bash ✰ my face is in a pillow)

[personal profile] hetried 2012-09-11 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"I guess so..." That's true, there was still Io and Joe and the others to take care of the new world, right?

"Ah, one of my friends is here, yeah. Most of them... I have no idea what happened with them, honestly. But I think they're back home, so I'm sure it'll be fine."
zero_to_herooo: (Eiji: chat)

[personal profile] zero_to_herooo 2012-09-12 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded. "That's good to hear. Anyway, I'll let you know if I hear anything. I think for now I'll try and look for anyone who looks like they know something."
