Beyond the Dome - [OPEN TO ALL]
Who: Open to All (As of June 16th)
Where: OUTSIDE the city.
When: From the 9th until the early morning of the 23rd.
Summary: New arrivals find themselves in areas unexplored as the others search for them
Warnings: Depends on the players!
Music: This one | Map: Here | Additional Info: First mod post here | Second most post forthcoming.
FOR NEW VISITORS
You remember the words of the strange, butterfly-masked man. You can here to protect a city, correct? And yet... you seem to be nowhere near one. Perhaps he meant that city in the far off horizon, barely seen against a reflecting shield of glass?
Either way, you don't feel safe around here. Maybe it's a hunch, but you need to move and get somewhere safe. Before whatever is lurking around notices you.
The problem is... where should you go?
FOR THE RESCUERSDOWN UNDER
The teleporter worked!
...Except you're not exactly sure where you landed. Thankfully, you have a map that will update as you go, courtesy of the MAGI. It does appears to be working, so now its a question of snooping around....wait what was that noise?
Make sure you've noticed where the teleporters are located. You wouldn't want to get stuck in this strange outside world...
[☿ Mercury Zone]
NEW VISITORS ONLY
You have a feeling that the city you need to protect is not the one in ruins around you. Otherwise, it's already destroyed.
EVERYONE
The stench of death is everywhere, from the cracked buildings to the water-logged homes missing their ceilings. Still, it's some form or protection against the elements, and there's sure to be canned food around here.
The cold, chilly air at night gets to your bones, but during the day, the hot weather makes you seek shade.
[♀ Venus Zone]
EVERYONE
There is forest all around you, the trees hiding most of the sun. What you an see, the crystal-like shell of the barrier (not that you know it's a barrier) to Hinoto-Ri spans high into the sky. There's nothing to restrict your view here, otherwise. The climate is surprisingly warm if humid.
Maybe you should try to get out, or build a shelter. Either way, best not to stay too long before something finds you...
[♂ Mars Zone]
EVERYONE
It's hot. Way too hot. You look around, with nothing but sand and dry bones scattered around you. not to far the sand dips inward, cracks of shining crystals that turn out to be salt hinting that this may have been a bit of salt water before everything evaporated.
Perhaps it would be best not to stay here for long. Nothing looks edible. There seems to be water on one side, and on the far horizon, you can spot a cavern.
Hopefully it's not caused by the heat. Let's start walking.
[♃ Jupiter Zone]
EVERYONE
Giant mountain full of jagged sharp rocks that reach high into the sky rise in front of you. When you turn, you notice a city, but a crystal-like substance stops you from being able to go inside, no matter how hard you try pressing on it.
There's only on area you can go through. The metal and stone bridge that goes right through the middle is interesting, though. It looks like the remains of a rail system. Just be careful where you step, as the way down does not look in any way safe. Those crevices could kill a person if you fell down...
[♄ Saturn Zone]
EVERYONE
Snow. There's so much snow. The temperature is cold, maybe in the middle of winter, but it's the winds that snap at your skin, making you shiver. You need better covering. Yet despite the weather conditions, you spot a city in the far off horizon. Maybe you could make it in a few hours. It's better than just standing here, right?
[♅ Uranus Zone]
EVERYONE
You're surrounded by pieces of desolate abandoned city, the buildings crumbling but still standing. Skyscrapers, upturned cars, fallen road signs hint that this was once a bustling city but whatever happened to it must have hit hard...
Plants grow around each abandoned area, appearing to have become giants for several decades already... yet despite your worst fears, not a single remain of dead human skeletons can be found.
But something is off. Why is the plant floating in the air? There's a car flickering as if it's glitching. Things begin to whisper in your ear, laughing and giggling. Sometimes you swear you heard something move...
[♆ Neptune Zone]
EVERYONE
It's humid, but not unpleasant. A giant body of water as far as the eye can see gently rocks its waves upon the sandy beach. Plants are growing around you, and you can easily spot fruits that are edible such as apples and avocado.
Yet there's an odd urge to explore the water. Maybe you could go take a dip...
[♇ Pluto Zone]
EVERYONE
Rocky mountains greet you at your arrival The giant mountain range reaches into the sky, as high as the crystal-like barrier protecting the city, blocking you from being able to go inside.
You spot caverns farther down ahead, but it might take you a few hours to get there. Best be on alert...
[OOC: Hello new and returning characters alike! While characters will not know the zone names, we've provided you with a map to aid you moving around.
Keep in mind a few things:
▶ Pick the zone you want to appear in! It's entirely up to you.
▶ For newcomers coming into via this plot, each zone has a giant red X. This is where your character will appear in that zone. After that, they'll need to walk/fly/swim around. Maybe they'll get lucky and find tools to help them.
▶ For those using the teleporter, the blue summoning circles are where your charatcer appears. These lead back to the central MAGI building located under town hall.
▶ Monsters can show up during your posts from time to time
▶ The zones colors indicate how dangers the areas are. Also keep in mind that once your character hits an orange and red zone, persona and canon powers steadily begin to decline each hour. After a day, they are unable to use their powers until they return to the yellow and green zones, whereupon it will take an hour for all their powers to come back in full.
▶ Characters will be stuck here until at least the 15th, minimum, so feel free to have them move around! It takes about 5 to 12 hours to move from one zone to another in full, depending on the temperature and terrain.
▶ Your character may end up finding items and possessions from their world. Mods will be watching the threads and adding descriptions and items as we go along.
▶ Characters do NOT have their COMP system upon arrival, even if they were here before; everything is stuck inside the city right now! So you do not have a means of communication if you don't speak the same language for now, time to use those pantomiming skills you've been working on (probably).
▶ If a new character crosses someone who's already lived in the city, they will be able to share their watch with them for translation purposes until they return to the city.
▶ We suggest showing up in the same area as someone else to have a better chance of survival. Not that characters will die (as it is permadeath in this game) but the state of the characters until next week when rescue begins may be less... healthy than others if you throw caution in the wind.
▶ This being said, we won't make life too hard for you. If we see your character struggling, we'll provide them with something so they don't die two days into exploring either.
▶ There are surprises and clues waiting in certain areas.
▶ Please have fun, and enjoy the game!]

[ He curses himself briefly for not having the foresight to being any supplies. Sure, he could summon water from the air, but he had no receptacle to place it in, and judging from the humidity it would take too much time. The utmost priority now would be to escort the two lords back to Hinoto-Ri immediately. And from what they said... there were demons here, too. Or at least some form or megafauna. Either way, a combat situation would definitely be unfavorable.
Koppa Tengu looks around briefly before it takes to the skies again. ] My Persona will keep a lookout for any beings which may approach us. From what I've seen, this place is mostly deserted... but knowing the nature of demons I have encountered before, they may be capable of springing more tricks.
[ At this juncture, he debates whether to elaborate more on demons or Persona, but the two daimyos seem too exhausted. It can wait a little longer. For now, they don't seem to be at risk from a demon attack... right? ]
This way, please.
[ The strategist sets off in the direction of the teleporter, mindful of his companions' pace. Silence hangs between them - he is embroiled within his own thoughts, and presumably the other two are as well. Lord Motochika and Lord Mitsuhide's arrival brought a whole host of questions and implications. Minor discrepancies aside, what bothered him the most is the situation of the lands beyond the barrier. He had heard that this world was densely populated before Hinoto-Ri was enclosed by the barrier. What, then, became of those people?
The answer is as stark as the landscape before him. However, it is still hard to accept. And that, too, brought many more questions. He does not doubt Philemon's sincerity, but -
- suddenly, Koppa Tengu screeches from above him. A split second later, a tremor rumbles through the very earth - Takakage stops walking and closes his eyes, opening his awareness to his Persona's vision. Something is moving towards the trio from afar, tunneling just below the ground and leaving a dust trail in its wake. The creature is still quite a distance away, but it glides beneath the land with frightening speed -
- his eyes snap open, and he turns to face the other two. While he does not appear to be panicking, both his tone and expression convey urgency. ]
Something is approaching us from the north. We must make haste!
no subject
That is until Koppa Tengu's screech cuts through the air, heralding the tremor. Takakage's warning does not go unheeded -- Motochika fluidly shifts into a run, boltered by his recently restored portion of energy. The direction they need to take is obvious at this point so there is no reason to linger.]
Come!
no subject
[His sword hand tightens noticably around the hilt of his katana even as they run.]
Yes. [Is all the samurai says. His instincts now are completely focused on this run, this escape. Whatever danger approaches must be avoided if they can at all manage doing so, but if it comes to a fight... Mitsuhide has to be prepared for it.]
Persona Switch: Lady Danu | Persona Skill: Tetrakarn
The Worm rears up and erupts from the ground behind them with a roar resembling the scream of twisted metal. The demon is huge - it easily towers two metres above the humans, and the exposed section of its body is barely a third of its full length. It gnashes its jaws together, then bares its fangs and dives downwards - ]
Lady Danu! Tetrakarn, now!
[ Takakage had already thought ahead. In the short span of time between the Worm's first emergence and its attack, he had already dismissed Koppa Tengu and called out his Velvet Room Persona. He has stopped running, and a veiled lady with flowing robes is floating by his side. At his command, she raises one slender arm and projects a faint blue shield from her fingers.
The Worm crashes on to the barrier - despite its flimsy appearance, it held against the serpentine demon's immense bulk. Repelled by the shield, it bounces off and falls to the ground, causing another shockwave to ripple through the ground. The earth cracks under its weight, and a few fissures spread sideways away from where it has fallen.
The impact also throws up a hail of splintered stone and sand. ]
