[Game Opening, Part 4 : Mission 1 - Take Out the Bull by the Horns]

[stringmods]

Who: Yu, Akihiko, Kanji, Minako, Guybrush, Link (Ocarina of Time), Shinjiro, Margaret, Yosuke, Kotetsu, Barnaby, Daichi, Gentarou, Mitsuru
Where: Middle of the F1 in Taurus; Nyx's Night Club.
Summary: Taurus Sector Mission
Warnings: Drinking, Smoking, Swearing, Brothels, Naughty Persona, Implied Everything.


You might feel a little out of your league. After they took you into a room where a series of robots cleaned and dressed you up, you were all put inside a limousine together. There appears to be a lot of drinks inside, but go easy on the rum! You need to keep your wits about you soon. Your driver is one of the many men in black from the Government. You are all members of a rich family; it says so on your fake entrance cards. No need to wait in line like the other peons, oh no, you get to come in as guests of honor.

Your mission is Calculated Infiltration.

And not just anywhere, but Nyx's Night Club! The hottest nightclub, it also requires a strict dressing code. According to the Government's Task force, the source of the disturbance detected in the sector is in the lower levels. Unfortunately, it is heavily guarded and with a lot of civilians nearby, quite possibly drunk, you cannot just waltz in. First step will be locating your double agent and contact who will supply you with a password. Using your COMP system, you should be able to locate them in the large crowd that has gathered tonight. No name, and no clue or idea who they are. Simply that your audio function will register a match when you do find them.

Of course, this is Nyx's Nightclub! Like everything else here, it's got a rather shady side. The Brothel and Drug Cartel below are your true targets. Word is that one of the heads of Anoli is a honored guest, and that the bar's owner is a sympathizer.

As in every city, there is a fine line between tolerance and allowing your foes to go around as they please. Whatever they are conducting down there, it had the sirens going off. You need to find out why, exactly.


Lucky you.

As you enter the Club, music starts blaring into your ears, as lasers, lights, drinks, and people dancing in cages surround you in a visual and audio orgy. It's hard to see, but you need to stay in character, and find your contact. Once one of you does, you can proceed on.

[OOC : For now, you can start threads trying to find their contact, OR there reaction to being there. MINGLE AS A TEAM IF YOU WANT :3. As with every log like this, ONCE THEY GET TO THE LOWER LEVELS, you are free to start your own thread and have your characters stop swarm of monsters on your own. Don't forget to write your character's Persona awakening later on as well!]

Him and his big mouth.

He thought that having at least Kanji cross dress would be enough to keep the girls safe. When Nyx suddenly pulled out two more dresses? He made an attempt at running away, but... well, he didn't really know what happened. One moment he was turning, the next he was waking up in the most hideous dress known to man. At least he could feel his pants were still on underneath, but... oh god, what was this. Where had they found the fake boobs so he could properly fill out the dress? Why him?

Yu just... stood there, absolutely mortified, too humiliated to even speak.

[get_bent]

Yu and your big mouth.

Kanji...truthfully wasn't as completely disgusted about this as he SHOULD be, but this was Kanji we were talking about. At least Yu and Yosuke-senpai were both stuck in the same situation instead of going solo.

"Well...faster we do this, the faster we get out of 'em."

Also my gods, he was glad he had somehow gotten the better outfit out of the three. Poor Yosuke, really.

[disconinjafrog]

"I know this is for a good cause and everything but why did I get dragged into this?!"

Yosuke can not stop shifting uncomfortably in this dress, emotional scarring didn't even begin to cover how absolutely damaging this was going to be to his state of mind because oh dear lord... "And why did I get the most revealing dress?!?!"

At... at least his makeup isn't done as awful as it was before. He actually looks like a girl this time around......

He isn't sure that brings any comfort at all.

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"Somehow, I just knew it was going to come down to this," Guybrush sighs. "And people wonder why I grew a beard."

He shrugs. "Hey, at least it's only for a little bit. I had to wear a dress for a whole party once -- er, let's not go into the details about that." Especially since he had to wear that dress in front of ELAINE.

[hetried]

He barely knows you guys, really. And Yosuke he knows you're kind of bros after the Lilith thing and he feels for you

but

even with all the crap going on he's trying his best to stifle of a laugh.

"C-Come on, girls. The sooner we go, the sooner you can get into something more comfortable."

[castsnarukami]

Margaret has a small grin, Yu. It's hard to notice, but she seems to be endlessly amused by the situation, here.

"We should press on, indeed."

She is glad to have someone to put on a front for her, though.

Because yu are the best entertainment, Yu. Always.

[greatseal]

Minako just met Yu today, and she's already inclined to agree with Margaret.

"We'll be right here behind you." And she slaps Yu on the back, though it's more in a 'stop standing there frozen and get to work' way than being encouraging.

[linefacingforever]

Yu let out a sigh. Welp; no use waiting, he would just have to keep wearing this ridiculous dress that much longer. He tossed his hair (extensions) back with all the ease that he had practiced when Rise had coached him through acting more feminine. He raised a hand, covered in one long, frilly, and utterly ridiculous sleeve, to cover his mouth.

"Shall we, ladies?" he asked, in the most female-sounding voice he could muster. He was totally already in character.

[baniichan]

Arms folded over his chest, Barnaby got a good look at what they had to work with. Why did they even bother dressing up when they had actual women in their group already?

For one thing, they were already moving into the next area together, so no one would be in anymore danger than the rest of the group. It seemed completely unnecessary for these boys to take their places.

For another, they made awful women. What use did it do to complain about their clothes when they essentially agreed to wear them in the first place? One of them had decided to take his role more seriously, at least, but the others needed to step up their game if they wanted to pull this off.

Barnaby's silent judgement reflected in the cool gaze he gave them. Thankfully, everyone was as eager to get this over with as he was. "We're ready," he evenly remarked, speaking for both himself and Kotetsu.

[themortalhalf]

Shinjiro has never been a part of anything so ridiculous in his life. It would probably be a miracle by the end of the night that any of the members of the Inaba crossdressing squad had been able to even vaguely pass themselves off as female for the awaiting masses. Though maybe demons had exotic tastes. What the hell did he know?

"Might as well just get things over with. That's the door, isn't it?"

[linefacingforever]

...well, it looked like there was a grumpy volunteer to lead them to the door? Yu suddenly latched onto Shinjiro's arm, batting his fake eyelashes at him.

"Will you escort us, kind sir?"

...he's really getting too in character...

[get_bent]

"S-senpai...don't..." Oh, whatever. He was not walking with anyone else, Kanji was an Independent Woman.

...or something like that.

[disconinjafrog]

Wow, was Yu way more comfortable with his masculinity than Yosuke was... by several leagues. But they are on a mission, one with girls at the end of it, and this little play with the dresses was to protect some girls anyway....

Hey might as well attempt to play along.

Clearing his throat, Yosuke attempts his best feminine voice and follows Yu's lead, taking Shinjiro's other arm. "Yeah, we'd really appreciate it!" God his girl voice sucks, he might as well just shut up for the rest of the night.

And wow was this awkward, he was going to need a million cold showers after this was over.

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"Geez louise, guys, you don't have to get THAT into the role." Unless there's something they haven't admitted yet, anyway.

[baniichan]

"No, they should," Barnaby said with a neutral expression. "They volunteered, so they should do their best for the sake of the group." After all, if these boys were so insistent on keeping the women from performing a task they were perfectly capable of doing, then they needed to take their role seriously. Doing otherwise risked compromising the mission and putting civilian lives at stake.

[nofairy]

... Link doesn't understand what this fuss is about.

So he just opens the door.

[linefacingforever]

...dammit, Link was already moving. Yu mentally berated himself for playing up the laughs a little too much when they were supposed to be serious here. Instead, he dropped his voice so only Yosuke and Shinji could hear, giving them the plan he had come up with.

"When we get inside, the men will probably get the chance to go off on their own," he murmured in his normal voice, entirely serious. "The 'ladies' will probably be taken elsewhere. You guys will have to keep an eye out for the boss, while we split up and rescue the girls. Once they're safe, we'll meet up with you to give you a hand."

[themortalhalf]

Shinjiro's stony expression doesn't budge an inch.

What is his life?

His eyes catch Link heading towards the door, and his mind only has the time to begin to vehemently reject the idea of that kid going down first (if he didn't know what kissing was, then Shinjiro didn't want to know what the first questions out of his mouth would be when they headed deeper into the seedier parts of the night club) when he catches Yu's voice. Talking to him. In a non-aggravating manner unhindered by falsetto.

He tilts his head, taking in the information and going over it in his head. That was probably how things were going to go, provided everyone used their heads and didn't run around like a pack of imbeciles.

He nods.

"Fine. Let's go."

He strides forward, trying not to think too hard about the fact that there are actual people hanging off his arms, and heads towards the door. He does manage, however, to shoot a hard glance over at Link as he passes by.

"Keep behind us, all right?"

He doesn't care what Link's fighting prowess is. There's still a part of him that doesn't believe the kid should be here. But he's not the kid's keeper or babysitter, so what will be will be.

[disconinjafrog]

Yeah it's a... little embarrassing that the new looking elf kid was pushing ahead of them. He's about to speak his concern when Yu catches his attention.

Yosuke nods to him, his grip on Shinjiro's arm loosening significantly. He keeps his voice low as well, totally abandoning any attempts at a girly voice because he... seriously can't do it.

"Understood, Leader." He bites his lip as a certain... concern comes to mind though. "Annnd if any of the seedy assholes who're expecting us to be their entertainment try to touch us or any of the girls??"

[nofairy]

Link bristles a little at Shinjiro stepping in front of him. He's perfectly capable of taking care of himself! He pulls his Mirror Shield out onto his arm, Master Sword in his other hand.

And he can hear pretty well, so he looks back at Yosuke for a moment. "You kick them. Or punch them."

Duh.

[linefacingforever]

Yeah, really Yosuke. Did you even need to ask?

"...might be good motivation for using our Personas," he added, just for good measure.

[greatseal]

Yu'd formed a decent plan. Link opened the door. In Minako's view, there's no more need to talk.

"All right ladies, it's time!" And she strides right through the door after Link without hesitation.
