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

pixle so that we can get to you.
▶ We suggest going in numbers to increase chances of survival.
▶ Please have fun!]

[Depending on your character, there might be some time to kill before the meeting begins. Should you go help out, ask a few questions to the MAGI members...or attempt to grab a little souvenir?]

[All threads below (start your own below this one, don't reply to this one!) will take place during the 13th hour in the Mictlan and the surrounding area. Make sure to also mark if your threads are closed or OTA!

Thank you, and please heave fun!]

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

eonflamewing if you want him to join your log! ]

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.

"Ahh yes, what a beautiful night for Michel to enter the temple and save the city single-handedly!"

Yes, someone was trying to act like an idiot again. At least he had a giant Pokemon behind him, looking like a mixture of boredom and annoyance.

"Hmmmm, with this new Persona, my Gyrados and Hades, there is no way that anything can stand in my way!"

Someone please stop him? Or join with him.

Plumes of Dusk. Well, Kanji knew about those. He couldn't help but find the thought of going hunting for them somewhat worrying - but when it came down to it, when and where had the one at the core of his own mind been found?

So, here he was, checking to see who'd come out this time, hoping to lend some firepower and protection to those going in.
"Hey, you got plans? You got a group?"

She had been to the meeting, she knew the gameplay objectives for this quest. She had a pretty good idea of what she'd be doing, walking into this sort of dungeon. Nevertheless, the silhouette of the Mictlan- voidlike black against the crimson sky- loomed nothing short of forebodingly before her. It foreboding enough to intimidate.

Nanami hadn't yet figured out if there was a level reset function in this place, after all. And in such a format where a save option was missing and caution thus became so, so important, she'd be honest and admit that a new Visitor like her going in alone was a stupid idea.

To prove her point, the police officers around her raised yet another alarm as a demon was spotted in the vicinity of the makeshift administrative station. Batons were raised, flashlights waved frantically, and available Visitors quickly diverted themselves to dispose of the problem.

Standing at the outskirts of the crowd- almost close enough to take the first irrevocable step leading into the dungeon, but not quite- Nanami stood and stared, transfixed and hesitant. Exploration parties passed her, numbering at least in the threes and fours- she was severely short on manpower, then.

There were no familiar faces in the crowd.... maybe she should turn her attention instead to helping out with the log tallying or something....?
