[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!]

He sighed in relief at the message. Thank god. He was already making his way over to the designated bathrooms.

"S-So that means we don't have to pretend and hang out with demons much longer, right?"

He wasn't cut out for espionage and sexy demons augh.

[greatseal]

"I thought you'd be more used to this, from what you told me earlier."

Sorry, Daichi.

[hetried]

Minako pls

"W-What, the demon and alien stuff?" He let out a sigh, though not an exasperated one, just an exhausted one. "No way, I spent most of that time getting attacked or falling off bridges..."

And getting kidnapped, but that was embarrassing.

[greatseal]

"Falling off bridges?" Are you the clumsy type, is she going to need to keep an extra eye on you...

[hetried]

"Uh... I kind of drove a car off a high road while we were dealing with the alien invasion." Wow, he sure looks embarrassed relating this story all this time later.

"B-But no one got hurt or anything! I was using it to help stop the alien!"

[greatseal]

"That sounds dangerous."

...

"Do you have a license?"

[hetried]

"Of course I do!"

Look at that, he is suddenly way less exasperated and 120% more excited and enthusiastic.

"Got it just before the invasion happened. Passed the test with flying colors~!"

[greatseal]

He certainly seems proud of that license. She's still not too sure what to make of the cliff thing though. "Well, that's good to hear! I was planning to get a motorcycle license, myself..."

[hetried]

"Whoah, really?! That sounds awesome!" Seriously, he had a license, and he could only dream about trying to drive a motorcycle.

"You should go for it! I'm sue there's still some kind of place you can do it here in the city. It looks like a normal city besides the demons and everything..."

[greatseal]

"Mm-hm, my senpai said she would teach me." ...She pauses after that, her voice suddenly trailing off. "...I wonder if she still will? I'd need to get a motorcycle first, anyway."

[hetried]

"Don't see why not! She's here, right?" Well she must have been if Minako was talking about her in the present tense at least!

"Just ask her! If this place still has night clubs, I'm sure they'll still have motorcycles around somewhere."

[greatseal]

She's still here... just lacking the memories of that promise.

...Unless she promised lessons to Minato, too. Then maybe she could just tag along... "I'll have to do that. Oh but... we're probably going to need to get jobs, won't we?" She can't pay for a motorcycle with no money.

[hetried]

Sorry he's still trying to get used to the idea of alternate universes and timelines. And by get used to we mean have a lecture go completely over his head.

Though the revelation that they'd probably need to work is...not a pleasant one. He lets out an exasperated sigh. "Augh, we probably do, don't we? Man, don't we get paid for working for the government or something...!"

[greatseal]

Sorry Daichi, there's no JP's here. Normal people don't get to mooch off the government just because they can fight demons.

"I guess we'll have to see... They did mention giving us apartments before."

[hetried]

Hey, JP's didn't pay them either! Which was also pretty lame if you ask him, but they were kind of in a crisis without an economy anyway, so. Beds were nice though.

"I guess they could've done worse... still..." Grumble grumble this sucked.

[greatseal]

People in other demon invasions had to camp in parks. Be grateful!

"Maybe there'll be Persona-related jobs we can take. That wouldn't be so bad."

[hetried]

"You think so...?" Hm, maybe that...wouldn't be so bad?

...Of course his mind just ran away with him of course, and he just made himself more nervous. "I guess so; honestly, I'm still kind of freaked out by the idea of summoning something from your own mind..."

How does that...even work..........

[greatseal]

"It's really not that scary. You won't even need to use an Evoker."

See, you won't have to pretend to shoot yourself! That makes everything much better. "A Persona is part of you. It's there to protect you, not scare you."

[hetried]

"A part of me that can attack monsters and cast magic...!"

Ignoring the fact that he could cast magic with his phone, that was different. Needless to say he was still pretty scared of it.

"...Uh. Evoker...?"

[greatseal]

"It's a tool that helps you summon your Persona. It looks like a gun. You take it and..." She takes her thumb and forefinger and mimes shooting herself in the head.

Yep.

"Most of us had to use them before. I'm not sure what makes this place different."

[hetried]

Yep, that was the look of his face going pale a little bit. They had to shoot themselves in the head to summon those things?!

(Well, they didn't have to here, but in some universe...!)

"M-Maybe it's just something in the air...!"

Ahahaha--

[greatseal]

She should probably be less amused at his reaction to that. "There's no bullets, don't worry. But not needing them will make everything a lot simpler." Even if she feels more uneasy going into battle without it. By now, it was a safety net, not a source of fear.

[hetried]

"Yeah, but..." Huh he didn't, really have a counter to that. It was a gun without bullets, but shooting yourself with something like that just seems...weird.

"I guess you're right. And it's not like we have to worry about it anyway. Wonder why it's different for you guys, then..."
