[Game Opening, Part 2 - A Thousand Words or More]
Who: (Everyone OPEN LOG)
Where: (City Hall)
Summary: (After arriving you got to mingle a bit but now it's time for explanations! Finally!)
Warnings: (Some guy LIKES TO TALK LIKE THIS!!)
Style: (The text is in prose, but feel free to write back in action tags if you feel more comfortable.)
Suitable Music: This.
When someone finally speaks up...he's rather hard to miss.
"WELCOME! To YOUR NEW LIIIIIFE!" If anything, this fellow demanded attention, what with the costume he was wearing. What a way to get introduced to this new world.
"My name...is DR. BYRON ORPHEUUUUS! But you can call me Orpheus...Dr. Orpheus if you're really insistent. REGARDLESS! It was BY THE FATES that you were all plucked from your lives and brought here to aid this city in its greatest time of need. Yes, all of you will become HEROES! With the power of your PERSONA you shall become the riotous fury of..."
"Is such enthusiasm really necessary, Orpheus?" The voice that interrupts Byron sounds slightly modulated, and comes from the large blue and grey metal man behind the others. His voice is loud enough that he doesn't require the microphone - one of the few perks that comes with being a giant robot in a world like this.
"I am Brainstorm, and I am responsible for a sizeable amount of the work that went into a lot of the tech you all have, or have experienced the beneficial effects of, unknowingly. Those of you with large objects from home have me to thank for that transport system. The Evokers used in the arena? Me again. As well as a fair amount of tweaking and perfecting your COMPs and watches you received. I do hope you manage some degree of appreciation, as crafting devices to fit such small beings was incredibly painstaking for someone like myself. Working on nanomachines at this size isn't easy. Now, I know you organics have short attention spans, but do try and keep up, because I hate to repeat myself..."
"I suppose it's an unfortunate eventuality that some number of you will somehow manage to break something. If that happens, you may contact me about repairs, but I am usually quite busy, and I'm not going to be happy about having to deal with the consequences of your carelessness. However, if it becomes necessary, my workshop is in the Cancer district."
"And with Brainstorm's explanation, I suppose it is my cue to go next. Permit me to introduce myself..."
"Now then, as it was explained, when the Seven of us arrived here, we found out we had been expected, just like you. Unlike you, however, while they knew we were coming...they had little to no where we'd come from. Let's just say it has been quite a learning experience for both sides and leave it at that." He gave them a small smile. Ahh the misunderstandings that had happened...even amongst themselves.
"We wandered around blindly during the first week. Not just to adjust from our worlds to this one, but, quite frankly, we had no idea what to do! Fortunately, a few weeks later, the Three Wise Men appeared and aided us to understand the nature of Persona. Each of them were knowledgeable in the subject. You'll be able to speak with one of them once he's done...with personal things involving family...but that isn't our concern, isn't it? Let's go on with what we've learned so far."
He moved his hand on his watch and a series of images flashed in front.
"Persona can be called forth in various ways. So far our knowledge extends into three methods; the first is a blast of energy from your soul that gives form to your inner Persona. That one will com naturally to you. The second, is made using this..."
His took something from the nearby podium and held it into the air.
"You might think this is a normal handgun, but it is actually an Evoker. It can also be used to bring out your Persona. By giving you a feeling of stress and danger, which can also bring out your Persona naturally, it jump starts your summoning. However, we tend to encourage using the normal summoning method. The device was perfected by Brainstorm, Hazama, the Wisemen and myself. We created it to aid the police force summon their Persona faster during riots but recently...it's even become popular during Persona Duels."
"...But I'm sure you'll find out about those in the city soon enough, what with their ridiculous popularity. We shalln't dwell on those." He put the gun down. "The final method uses arcana cards. You can summon more than your inner Persona, although I am sure this is completely new information to you. Do not worry, you'll learn it soon enough like we have. To do so...you'll need to gain more. I believe next week is when the Velvet room will appear again according to our calculations, Miss Mcgonagall?"
"That is correct."
"Well then!" The man continued on. "We can explain that in due time. Now let's go into something really interesting. Did you notice how you have items from your homeworld with you? Consider yourselves lucky, we didn't have that luxury. It was only through our preparations that we were able to do this. You see, when a soul enters this world, they are still tied to their old world by a special strand. Normal users can't see it, but ahh!...Those like myself who Intel more than fight, well, our Persona allow us to see them. By combining our technology and magic, we devised a system which grabs those things which are near and dear to your heart. Just how we did this would require a few days of explanation, ergo I will spare you the details for now. Those that wish to know more can come to my office later. In any case...you're welcome."
The man shuffled his hands, and grinned. Obviously he had been waiting to explain to them the next part. It was brief and short.
"As for the strands, considering they are your passport to your old homeworld, so to speak, your anchor to your life...we've named them..."
"Destiny Strings."
"Don't worry, you will not be able to see them right away. It took me a week before I could grasp the strings to become visible. Of course there were only ten of us, so therein the challenge....
Not that there's that much to see here currently..." he sighed, exasperated in a way that only a man of his caliber could do (and yet it was so delightfully British) "Is this really what we'll have to be working with? We already have Orpheus who--"
"I BEG YOU PARDON?!"
"Oh you know exactly what I mean. Talking about in that exaggerated manner of yours--"
"Really, if you two are going to continue blathering and arguing like true imbeciles," McGonagall spoke in the middle, coldly, "let someone else speak up. At this rate, we'll be here all night and it is a full moon..."
The two men glared at each other for a second before Q finished, adjusting his tie.
" Yes, well....I do not think of myself as a fool, thank you very much, but there is truth in your words. Ciel, if you please?"
"Okay! I guess it's my turn then!"
The petite girl gave the assembly a small bow. Despite the amount of people before her, she didn't seem the least bit phased. A natural leader, if there was one.
"There is much to discuss." Her fingers moved over her watch and a 3D map of the city appeared before them, glowing green shapes with markings over each district. You might notice a few areas are still in the dark. "This is what we have of the city...so far. Unfortunately, many places still allude us. Hinoto-Ri is vast, and there are a number of areas in each distinct that are currently too dangerous to enter. Those restricted areas are protected by the police force to keep the population out. We hope to finish mapping them out as soon as we can...carefully."
"Regardless, let us look at what we have about each district, one by one."
"Now, are there any questions?"

Questions directed toward Brainstorm.
However, we don't really care how he feels in regards to this.Re: Questions directed toward Brainstorm.
No offense or anything, but he'd really rather be in his own world. He had a cranky bird monster to save.

"I hope everyone's listening, because I'm not going to repeat this after I say it. You can return home, yes. However, you won't remember your time here. You'll pick up right where you left off, though if you return here, you'll find that you remember your prior time here." He folds his arms, and looks rather put-out. "Tried that myself, but that guy with the strange mask is rather insistent on having our help, so if you go back, he might bother you again. You won't remember him, though - at least until you come back."
no subject
"Is that why you guys are here, because this guy keeps kidnapping you?"
no subject
A pause.
"That, and it's moderately more interesting than things going on at home." And no so-called friends and security officers breathing down his neck and trying to figure out his projects.
no subject
Wow Brainstorm you must be super bored at home"So I guess he's not gonna let up till he gets whatever he's after? Why does he want us around, exactly?"
Maybe Eiji could just finish this up with a Scanning Charge or something.
no subject
Yeah, not being one of the main-main cast leaves him with a lot of time on his hands."Seems that way. We're around mostly due to the fact that this town has a pesky little monster problem. Creatures that terrorize the populace at night that need dealing with. Thus, these Persona things." Brainstorm seems bored by the concept. "Not sure why those are needed specifically when a well-built laser rifle can do just as good a job, but I apparently have no say in that."
no subject
"So has anyone been able to ask this guy in person, then?"
no subject
no subject
"But okay. I guess when I'll see him next, I'll ask him what he wants. Maybe if we find that out, he'll let everyone go back." Or if he was a villain, he could be administered a liberal dose of Rider Kick.
(no subject)
no subject
Well. There was one person he could ask about it, anyway. Giant robot person. He'd been too impressed to do much but stare before, but...
"H-Hey...! Why -- Why did you name this thing a COMP?"
no subject
"The name stands for 'Compound Online Magic Portals'. They're powered by a battery and magic that shouldn't run out anytime soon, and can withstand extreme temperatures and heavy usage due to the spells contained within them. The name wasn't my idea - came from the person that we got the tech from, I just did a little adjusting on them to prep them for the arrivals. As for who we got the tech from, you'll meet them soon enough."
no subject
"I'm guessing you're not going to spill the beans on that."
He wouldn't be at all surprised if Naoya suddenly appeared on stage with his obnoxious grin.

...Ten seconds later, he's back with the glasses on his eyes and the wristwatch open the way it's supposed to be. Tech geek learns fast.
"Geez! I thought you were joking about the nanomachines, but there's no way this could run on silicon wafers alone! Who is this guy?"
And where can I grovel at his feet?
no subject
no subject
Atsuro will retreat again with the occasional exclamation of unabashed geekery as he continues to fiddle with his new toys.
no subject
"Sup, Brainstorm? I didn't know you were one of the bigwigs around here."
no subject
Or in a roundabout way of saying things, please don't ask him any stupid questions.
no subject
She grins, hoping that he's not mad at her or anything.
Or not too mad at her, at least.
"It must be kind of a pain to be important in a situation like this, though. Imagine all the inane questions..."
no subject
Jun gets a sharp nod. "It is, and I don't have to imagine that," he adds, with quite the long-suffering tone. "...but if I don't field a lot of them, then the long-winded-and-loudmouthed magic guy over there will keep us here for days," he adds.
no subject
Something told her that Brainstorm wouldn't appreciate a probably stupid and pointless question like that, though, so she decided that she would save the question for later. Or for someone else alltogether.
"What's the dumbest question you've been asked so far, then? Feel like sharing?"
no subject
"That one."
no subject
"I guess it was kinda stupid, huh...?"
She follows up her question with a sigh and a smile.
"You're not one for having casual chit chat or fun, are you?"
