[Game Opening, Part 4 : Mission 2 - Fire the Arrow of War]

Who: Jun Kuga, Theodore, Yamato, Ludwig, Elizabeth Middleford, Atsuro, Aoba, Urataros, Volstagg
Where: The Saggitarius Research and Development lab, wards C4 & B4.
Summary: Help defend the prototypes and barricade the labs.
Music: Castle of the Four Gods
Warnings: Combat! Action! Science!


The build itself seemed unimpressively gray, four stories tall, lacking in windows, and yet oddly cylindrical. There seemed to be some sort of commotion on the roof, but there wasn't much time to examine the exterior. Once the group had stepped close to the front door, they were almost immediately ushered up the emergency staircase, to the fourth floor. The lights within the R&D department were almost blindingly clinical, with many of them being backed up by black lights. The combination made the area a little jarring to stand around in, but it seemed the COMP glasses came in handy for that, cutting some of the dizzying effects.

The fourth-floor door was opened wide by an odd looking pixie, who seemed to regard the group coldly before gesturing them in. Behind her was a black-haired teen, no older than seventeen at most, frantically standing at a console and typing away. The room was completely white, littered with odd gadgets and glass enclosures straddling other computer terminals. The room seemed to be bustling with energy, even with the presumed lack of people in it. The pixie floated over to the teen, tapping him once on the shoulder to get his attention, before he spun around fast and harsh.

"Oh! Good, just barely in time, thank you..."

He dragged a gloved hand over his tired face, and gave a half-sort of bow. "My name is Ideo Hazama. I'm one of the head researchers..."


The screen behind him beeped, and he immediately turned back to it with a muttered curse. Seems he was going to be explaining the situation with his back turned, then! "The Anoli began their attack from the roof, breaking in to ward C4 first- we didn't expect them to be so daring. Several of our most potent prototypes are housed in B4, as well as here in D4." The labcoated teen gestured to the screen, and a map of the floor came up; it seemed to be in real time, showing blips for enemies and damaged doorwars. "Our first priority is to keep this area secure, while taking back B4. Once that is under control, we can push them out of C4, then pursue them to the roof if needed." As he spoke, Ideo gestured across the map without looking at his audience directly. He was probably not a people person anyway. "We cannot allow them to leave with the prototypes we have here...lives depend on this."

Finally, he turned back around, pointing to the doors labeled A4. C4, for the time being, seemed to be guarded by several imposing demons. Odd. "Reiko is in A4 right now, with the frontal assault force. The rest of our team is guarding the other emergency stairwells that lead downstairs. When you have cleared B4, my forces here will go through to C4 and meet you for a pincer attack. I would like to request that some of you stay here, in case we have trouble- everyone else, make your way to A4."


[OOC: As with every log like this, you are free to start your own sub-thread and have your characters stop swarms of monsters on your own. The place is being invaded by demons as well as Anoli! Don't forget to write your character's Persona awakening as well! Finally, here is a map, for easier comprehension!]

In response to that little introduction, it's hard not to stare a little. 'The leader of the British Knights'...? He's seriously talking to someone like this? This is...

so awesome!

"It's a pleasure to meet you too!" After a second of hesitation of his part, Aoba replies to the curtsy with a bow. "I'm Aoba Kuronuma...!"

Lizzie laughs quietly, shaking her head. "Hello, Aoba. And you needn't be so formal. I usually just curtsy out of habit, but it would be nice to be friends, wouldn't it?"

"It really would, Elizabeth!" He grins at her, a light blush on his cheeks. "I think it'd be great if we could become friends."

"I would like that too." She gives him a kind smile. "I'll look for you after we're finished here."

Because she's still all too aware of how much danger they're in at the moment.
endears: (and shining stars)

-- Ah, right. After getting caught up in the conversation, he'd completely forgotten about the circumstances they were in.

He gives a stiff nod, trying (with little success) to hide just how badly he lost track of things.

"Let's both do our best here then, right?" ... Nevermind that Elizabeth will no doubt be better at this whole affair than he is.

"Of course." She is too good of a warrior to know better than to trust an amateur with her back-- and she knows he is one from the way he carries himself. But she is reassuring anyways.

"I'm counting on you."

"Ah!" Call him ridiculous, but hearing that someone is outright relying on him (and happens to be a cute girl, not that that matters or anything) is somehow encouraging.

"Thank you. I wish you luck!"
