Clipping the Wings of Night

Who: Open to All
Where: INSIDE the city & the Mictlan
When: From the 9th until the early morning of the 16th.
Summary: A town meeting and temple pillaging
Warnings: Depends on the players!
Music: This one | Map: See the Temple Layout for each level

9TH, 11h30AM, REMAINS OF CITY HALL
At Q's Request, Visitors gather near the remains of town hall. The half destroyed stone structure stands with three walls to serve as office, along with one undamaged desk. The situation is dire and serious.

Q is standing looking at a map along with the mayor, his assistant, Isabelle, and the Commissioner General of the Hinoto-Ri Police Force. When they see Visitors arriving, they silently nod, waiting for the time to address them all. There's not much to do, but the place is in shambles, and people are moving all around.

Members of the police and MAGI are slowly carting away pieces of the barrier that had fallen down. Perhaps it would be possible to grab a small, chipped part of it when they aren't looking? Or maybe Visitors can conduct a search in the debris nearby on their own accord...that seems less like stealing.

Probably.

9TH-16TH, 13TH HOURS

The Mictlan stands defiant against the reddish moon. The monsters around have become more bold, waiting to attack Visitors as they watch the city rise at night. Thankfully a few police officers have been tasked to aid them in collecting the Plumes of Dusk.

"Are you in teams yet," Q asks, as members of MAGI around him carry containers that will be used to collect the gathered items. Isabelle serves as the mayor's representative, and to count them as Visitors come back from their temple runs. Q is making sure everyone is safe...in his own way.

"Don't go in there alone like fools! Make sure you're working at least with someone else. We'll be keeping tabs up here for safety precautions. As soon as you're ready, let's get to work!"

[OOC: Mictlan exploration time yay!

Keep in mind these few things:
▶ Mods as well as our creature mod will be keeping an eye on this post for temple interaction. If you want to deliberately encounter a creature before the mods surprise you with one, simply title of your last tag [ENCOUNTER REQUESTED] so we know!
▶ The full info for the temple is here
▶ You can start threads in any level you want, but keep in mind of what was in the previous levels. Don't start a character in perfect health in Lvl 6 if they are just a newbie persona user and by themselves!
▶ Characters can gather plumes of dusk and whatever else they find around here until the 16th.
▶ If there's a special section that the document says you need to contact a mod, plurk [plurk.com profile] pixle so that we can get to you.
▶ We suggest going in numbers to increase chances of survival.
▶ Please have fun!]

Desco has a chunk of barrier in her claws as she floats over to where the mayor is.

"Chief Minion! Your queen requires a report on the state of her city!"

Flynn had arrived earlier than the meeting time. He listened to the briefing without the barest hint of emotion, and does not ask any questions. The youth is dressed simply, carrying only a plain sword as a weapon - though his seemingly foolish choice of equipment might be masking a power impressive enough to not need visible armour.

He isn't alone, though. A blonde girl in a blue dress mills around him, poking around at the surroundings without any regard for her own safety. Flynn doesn't intervene, simply watching her from a distance.

She comes up to you with an angelic, innocent smile - though her voice sounds a little... off, as if her words are echoing a little.

"Hey there! Are you gonna be joining the expedition too? You should go with me and my big bro, otherwise he'll be lonely - and things won't be as fun!"

[ ooc: feel free to join Flynn's party. Once two or three people reply, I'll make an exploration post starting at the second floor of Mictlan. The first floor sounds straightforward enough, so we can skip it methinks. If you want to skip ahead to the third floor instead, we can arrange that!

Though it should be noted that Flynn is very powerful - his magic stat is double that of even the Ancient of Days (an aspect of God) whom he managed to defeat, so he packs insane firepower. This should help in defeating the bosses.

He'll be returning every night, so feel free to ping me at [plurk.com profile] eonflamewing if you want him to join your log! ]

There is a sound like a whip-crack, and Minerva appears in a blink of an eye, adjusting her hat.

"I see it's more or less impossible for this city to go a month without a calamity. I've done what I can to protect this building -- well, the remains of this building -- but one witch's Protego will only go so far. Still, it should be safe enough to converse here."

"C-chief Minion?!" The mayor looks at her in confusion, before Junko steps forward, pushing the glasses up her nose.

"Miss Desco, is that correct? I believe I asked Isabelle to mention to you not to address yourself as the Queen of the city. We elect government officials to hold office, this is not a sovereignty."
hinoto_ri: (Mayor)

[personal profile] hinoto_ri 2014-06-11 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you for your invaluable aid," Junko replies before the mayor can say anything.

"Yes," he adds after her. "Thank you for protecting the lives of my citizens to the best of your abilities! I must admit, I am always impressed by the skills of the Seven...hopefully we'll find the others soon."

"As far as I've been told, there's nothing to be done about that until the sensors pick up on something." Minerva responds briskly. "Best to focus on this situation for the moment."

She'll turn to the Visitors now.

"Line up for a Shield Charm if you'd like. I'm afraid I can't say how long it will last in that edifice, but it certainly won't hurt."

The eyes set in Desco's torso roll in their sockets to regard Junko, although Desco herself doesn't say anything, continuing to fix her crimson eyes on the mayor as she summons her Persona, Yog-Sothoth. The leering congerie of spheres titter and roil as Desco almost absent-mindedly casts Dunwich Horror on the secretary.

The spell is negated as a Persona appears above her head. Despite the obvious offense, she barely flinched, seemingly unperturbed.

"I ask that you please step down," she continues, calmly. "We are here for dire business, and to aid the city. This is no time for a scuffle or arguments. If you wish to fight me later, then we can arrange that in due time."

Allelujah listened as well, Hallelujah not having too much to comment on. He was in his flight suit, helmet tucked under his arm for the moment. He blinked a little bit at the girl approaching him, though.

"... I am. Who's your big brother?"

Alice beams at him, turning and pointing towards the youth standing some distance away. He notices her and looks in their general direction, but doesn't say anything.

"This is my big brother Flynn! He takes care of me." She nods, emphasizing the statement. "But he doesn't talk a lot, so he gets boring sometimes."

He tilts his head, expression not changing. "Don't bother the gentleman."
egotrigger: ([alle] light love and laughter)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2014-06-12 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah." The person from before. He nods, and smiles a bit.

"I don't mind. It's all right." He holds out a hand to the girl for a handshake. "I'm Allelujah. What's your name?"
adnihilum: (uh)

[personal profile] adnihilum 2014-06-12 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The girl takes his hand and shakes it, a little too energetically. "I"m Alice! Nice to meet you, mister!"

She tilts her head a little and flicks a loose strand of blonde hair away from her face. "Are you going to come with us to explore?"

9th | Mictlan Exploration | OTA (poke on plurk first)

The Thirteenth Hour fell, and the first party of intrepid explorers descended into the depths of Mictlan.

It has been a while since they first made it into the entrance. Due to a combination of good teamwork, sheer firepower, and adaptability, the group has managed to arrive on the third floor without mishap.

Flynn led the way. It came rather naturally to him - plus, his status as one of the main damage-dishers meant that he could eliminate most incoming threats before they could harm the others. Alice wasn't accompanying him anymore. She had become a little tired after traversing two floors, and elected to rest. Instead, another demon is by his side - though it was strangely blindfolded with a white cloth.

The group descended down the stairs into a narrow corridor, which eventually opened up to reveal a huge chamber filled with roaring water. Flynn stopped just before the entrance, turning to address the group. It was impossible to hear his voice, but perhaps lip-reading could suffice.

"The chasm needs to be crossed."

Sraosha began to move ahead without any visible instruction from Flynn, floating down the bridge in a stately manner.

egotrigger: ([alle] ehehe...)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2014-06-12 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's nice to meet you too. And... if both of you think it's all right." He looks up at Flynn, curious. He doesn't want to make him uncomfortable.
egotrigger: ([alle] huh?)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2014-06-12 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Allelujah was starting to feel a bit of the strain, but kept going. The monsters were starting to get a little bit more aggressive... it was a good thing he had switched out for a Support Persona. Fortunately with his CommLink, Allelujah could hear Flynn just fine, and responded in turn.

"We need to figure out how to do that. It looks like something broke it. I might be able to jump it, but it's hard to tell."

"Queen Desco is trying to aid her city, Horny Lady. Stop interrupting her!"
adnihilum: (Default)

[personal profile] adnihilum 2014-06-13 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Flynn nods, giving his silent approval.

Alice tilts her head a little. "Big brother has some other friends too! They live in his Gauntlet. He'll call them if we need help. The more the merrier, right?"
adnihilum: (Default)

[personal profile] adnihilum 2014-06-13 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Flynn didn't move. His demon continued down the bridge, seemingly unperturbed by the roaring waterfall.

"Sraosha will scout it out for us."

The angel stopped at the tip of the bridge, then.. floated over the chasm and stopped at the start of the other bridge.

[personal profile] egotrigger 2014-06-13 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Gauntlet? I'm guessing you don't just mean a piece of armor."

Then again, maybe there are some gauntlets that things can live in. Other worlds are weird.
egotrigger: ([alle] facepalm)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2014-06-13 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
... Huh. Allelujah blinked in surprise, and walked down towards the bridge, holding onto the side as he got close. He tapped it with his foot and - huh.

"It's there... but we can't see it, for some reason."

Kotoha is picking through the scattered debris as she heads over to the mayor and Ms. Junko, carrying a small pouch in her hands.

"Excuse me? There was something I wanted to talk to you about before the meeting starts?"
hinoto_ri: (Mayor)

[personal profile] hinoto_ri 2014-06-14 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
The mayor holds up his hand before Junko can speak again.

"Your backup is appreciated Miss Tanako, but we can worry about this later."
hinoto_ri: (Junko)

[personal profile] hinoto_ri 2014-06-14 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded back at him, before turning back to Desco again.

"What may interest you is the fact that the 13th hour is now twice as long. This issue may be in relation to our barrier cracking above."
