[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!]

Comments

[greatseal]

...Well.

"You know, I don't do that kind of thing on the first date."

At the same time, she nudges his arm slightly, pointing him out of the crowd and towards the wall. She can play lookout and tease him mercilessly at the same time.

[linefacingforever]

...why is he suddenly reminded of Ebi?

Yu tossed her an exasperated look, before following behind her. Yes, he'll even let her grab his hand. It's a sister complex thing, don't judge.

[greatseal]

What, it's just part of the game. They had to play the parts of people enjoying their time at a club, right?

When they reach the edge of the room, near a potted plant, she tugs his hand one final time to position herself between him and the wall. To anyone else in the room, they should look just like a couple looking for privacy. Hopefully Shinjiro won't be one of the ones noticing.

"Try searching now," she says, while keeping an eye on what she can see of the room over his shoulder.

[linefacingforever]

Yu is just getting all kinds of lucky tonight, isn't he? As soon as she was covering him, he didn't waste time commenting on what it looked like, instead whipping out his COMP and trying to figure out how he was supposed to find this "contact".

[greatseal]

And she'll just wait while he does that while continuing to help them not look suspicious. This might involve putting her arms around his waist.

[linefacingforever]

If Yu noticed or had any objections for that matter, he didn't say anything. Instead, he focused on his COMP; okay, turn on, boot up screen, aaaaand...

...the hell was he looking at?

"...this is nothing like my cellphone," he muttered, eyes finally locking on to where his mailbox was and giving it a tap.

[naughtynightclan]

"What do you mean?" A voice asked curiously. At the sound of her voice, the registers on the COMP flashed a red "Negative" on the top left. Only Yu saw it, due to the glasses, but this wasn't the person they were looking for.

..or erm..the demon. At least now he knew the process seemed automatic.

"Hey! I don't think I've seen you two cuties before..."

[linefacingforever]

...poor Yosuke; he forgot to tell him that he put on the glasses that went with the COMP when he got out, not his old Midnight Channel glasses. Another thing Yu would need to apologize for.

Still, if this thing was registering as negative, then it wouldn't be good for it to see the COMP. His arm immediately snaked around Minako, tugging her close as if he had been caught in the middle of something intimate, hiding the little computer between their bodies.

"We're busy," he replied, the, "Do you mind?!" left unspoken yet heard.

[greatseal]

Minako meanwhile, is more casual in responding even though she suddenly had her space invaded more than she'd planned.

"He's a little shy," she says to the demon, in something as close to a conspiratorial whisper as she can manage over the music. "I don't think he's ready for that just yet."

She'd learned from the incident with Nyx earlier.

I had to

[get_bent]

Please don't mind Kanji close by just...starring for a few seconds at them before he went off in the other direction.

Damn it Yu, it hadn't taken long...

[naughtynightclan]

"Oh but that just means there's more to share..." she gave him a small puff, and then flew off in a huff.

You hath insulted a lady of the night clan, my fine sir.

[linefacingforever]

Yeah, not giving two shits at the moment. He'll probably regret that later.

Yu let out a breath, quickly letting go of Minako as soon as Alp flew off. He held up the COMP, looking over the screen, before flicking his gaze over to Minako (and don't think he doesn't see you over there, Kanji).

"I think as long as it can pick up the voice of the person we're looking for, we'll be okay," he explained, as if that was obviously the reason he reacted the way he did.

[greatseal]

"So it's best to mingle some more..." Hmm, but they have a problem now. "We can't leave right away or that demon will notice."

[linefacingforever]

"...right."

They probably shouldn't waste any more time though... Yu frowned a bit, before looking over Minako, trying to be subtle in motioning Kanji to come over. Hopefully he'd get the hint.

[get_bent]

Aww come on Senpai, he wasn't that bad...although he was a bit too obvious coming over.

"Hey." What can the human bulldozer do for you.

[greatseal]

Yes, what can he do. Minako hasn't met Kanji yet, so she has to defer to Yu on this one. She does drop her hands though since her cleavage is no longer needed as a hiding place.

[linefacingforever]

Yes, thanks for removing your boobs hands, Minako. It helps for what Yu has in mind. He keeps his voice low as he speaks, hoping that no one nearby can hear him.

"Kanji, we need a distraction so we have an excuse to split up. Hit me."

He wasn't going to let Kanji actually hit him of course, but the whole image would be a good excuse for the two of them to lose themselves in the crowd.

[get_bent]

"....what?"

Okay after the whole death goddess thing and clothes-lining him, he was pretty sure Yu had gone far off the deep end.

"Senpai, we're gonna get kicked out if we do that!" Not that Kanji would know about proper ethics about this type of place or anything. (Actually no he didn't he just knew all about punching guys = police on him).

[linefacingforever]

"Don't worry; just run afterward," Yu assured him. "And turn your COMP on once we've split up."

And hurry the hell up before that demon comes back.

[get_bent]

"...alright..."

And without waiting for Yu to say anything else, he raised his fist and gave a small scream to punch him in the elbow.

[linefacingforever]

...elbow? Really? That's all you're giving him, Emperor Beefcake?

Yu rolls with it, managing to shove Minako out of the way of the "charging bull", using the momentum to throw himself clear. He stumbled a bit, pausing for dramatic effect to make sure his "squeeze" was safe, before taking off into the crowd.

...hopefully Kanji managed to stop his punch before his fist hit the wall...

[get_bent]

HE DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOU, since, oh I don't know, YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE GOING TO DODGE!

Predictably, Kanji ran a little farther and...right into a cage.

The door closed behind him.

"Huh?!"

Oh. Oh no. Oh no why were there lights on him why were some of the crowd looking at him...

....

[greatseal]

....Minako is not sure if she should laugh, stare in horror, help Kanji or try to get as far away from him as possible.

...She's going to settle for the last option, since they really need to keep looking for the contact. While the nearby demons are watching the new attraction she starts snaking through the crowd in sort of the same general direction as Yu. Sorry Kanji, you made a valiant sacrifice for the team.

[linefacingforever]

It's okay, Minako. Eventually they're going to crash into a beanpole.

[themortalhalf]

And while Minako splits away from the group and Yu goes to crash into the beanpole, Shinjiro watches the aftermath unfold from a safe distance.

Shinjiro doesn't know what kind of absolute fiasco he just watched from his spot across the room, but it was the most completely asinine and unnecessary thing he's seen today.

What a bunch of morons.

He's glad Minako had the sense to leave the two of them to their own stupid devices.

In fact, he'd be happy to let the whole thing slip his mind for now, except that Tatsumi kid from earlier is still stuck in that cage.

Tch. Might as well get him out before he becomes entertainment.

Sighing, he cuts through the crowd, approaching the cage.
