[stringmods]

Who: Naminé, Minato, Maya, Simon, Raidou, Sissel, Misery, Naoya Toudou, Kohta
Where: Middle of the E8 in Gemini; Power Plant
Summary: Gemini Mission
Warnings: Third Wise Men Appearance



When you arrive, the situation already looks dire; this is where the main explosion you heard in the city hall came from. There's a fire that needs to be put out and people rescued from the blaze on the left. To the right, the remaining part of the Power Plant is being attacked by a bunch of armed men.

The current police and firemen force assembled there is doing a commendable job, but it is clear they are overwhelmed. As your vehicles touch down, there is always a a barrage of fire sent your way. One of the army men comes close to your group contact you on the Government COMP Codec number and patches you in.

"There ain't much time! At this rate, the plant's gonna blow up in twenty minutes if the central area isn't cooled down. We need that fire put out, don't care how you do it, as long as it can't spread out even more!"

Another voice breaks in, although you can barely hear anything due to the static.

"....wise ma...tak.........hosta....went down alone........get him back..."

"Damn it, figures he'd go down by himself to stop this. I need a group on his ass ASAP. He'll be able to recover the power with you."

A few scientists are standing outside, being covered against the ask and they warn you that the explosion removed some of the gates keeping a horde of zombies being researched on from escaping. They might be everywhere.

Just be careful not to get infected.

Problem was, right now, you first had to be able to carve a path to yourself into the Power Plant.

[OOC: As with every log like this, you are free to start your own sub-thread and have your characters stop swarms of zombies on your own. Don't forget to write your character's Persona awakening as well!]

"Idiotic! What do these fools even stand to gain from destroying something like this?" Misery didn't care for these people, but simply killing them is a waste of resources. And that's not even regarding this power facility itself! Is the aim of this terrorist group truly so simple-minded as to destroy such a vital power source for their own pathetic whims?

She turns to one of the firemen, barking. "You there! The largest body of water! Tell me where it is, and where a suitably large vessal for holding liquids is now! Unless you think you can truly handle this entirely yourself!"

[aboyandhiscat]

Raidou looks to the others, and pulls out a summoning pipe. "I have a demon with ice magic, I'll have him try to clear us a path." He volunteered. "anyone else got anything?"

[punchedoutdestiny]

"Two fists and a drill," Simon answers, resting the cone-shaped drill on his shoulder. His face was serious as he surveyed the situation, grip tightening on the handle of the tool. "I'm a bit out of my element here - but I can cover people better-suited to dealing with the fire."

[stringmods]

"Miss!" The fireman looks at her without questioning her looks, his own Persona lumbering above him (it looks like a giant eight-legged Dalmatian) and points to the far right. "There's part of the main city's river that runs 'bout five minutes away from here. We're using that to combat the fire but the thing's going up way too fast..."

[misery_hates_company]

"Then clearly you're not fighting it fast enough! You should be thankful I'm here to help you, then!" she snarls. She looks around. "Oh, never mind. I'll locate something myself!"

She vanishes at that moment. Literally. One minute she's there, the next she's not. Where did she go?

[itswhoopasstime]

Maya steps forward with one of her pistols in hand, her expression one of firm resolve as she watches the flames continue to mount. She can feel that her Persona has changed, somehow, since coming to this place, but...

"My Persona had water magic before I was brought here. There's no reason it shouldn't now, right? It might not be enough, but it's a start -- especially if I pair it with Raidou's ice."

[aboyandhiscat]

Raidou tips his hat, nodding, as he whips out the pipe - a green web-like light flashes and soon a figure appears. Maya and Minato would recognize it as a Jack Frost, but it's wearing a uniform similar to Raidou's.

"We got a fire to put out."

[fools_journey]

That interests Minato.

"You've had a Persona before," he starts to ask, but then Raido's Jack Frost shows up, and that distracts him. "That's -- ... Jack Frost?"

[fools_journey]

Well, Minato's weapon is completely useless for putting out fires, but the zombies he can deal with. "I can cover people, too," Minato therefore volunteers, though he pauses for a moment to think (and to adjust his, ah... laser/flamethrower in his arms). "We should probably split into two groups. One to combat the fire, one to go into the power plant itself."

[punchedoutdestiny]

"...well, we need to be able to actually get in without catching on fire, first," Simon comments, then snaps his fingers. "I might not have any fire-fighting abilities, but maybe I can make theirs a little more effective!"

Simon breaks off, and barges his way to one of the firetrucks, and yanks his Core Drill necklace off while on route. Once he gets there, he yanks the driver's door open. "I NEED TO BORROW THIS!"

[stringmods]

"Hey kid! You can't just get in here! We're trying to put the fire out!"

[punchedoutdestiny]

"I know that! I'm gonna help you out, just trust me!" Between the tone of his voice, that cocky look on his face, and the faint pulsing green glow coming from that drill-shaped charm in his hand, it's clear that this 'kid' has some kind of plan.

[stringmods]

"..." Alright you win, the man is stepping out. You better not make this explode.

[maxlevelweaponmaster]

Zombies, z-zombies... ZOMBIES?! What the hell?! And he thought he had left those back at home! No matter, this was WAR! And he didn't have to hold back with the zombies right?! This was his field and he was gonna show them what's up!

First of? He'd take out groups of stacked zombies with his Boombox. That's right, his fucking badass boombox full of rockets that is! Well four rockets but still! He made sure to pick groups that were far from anyone that could be harmed as well as areas that might catch on fire.

Whoooosh! the first rocket left the boombox before BOOM! zombie parts flying everywhere.

"OH YEAH!" he could feel the power of the weapon in his hands, he grew giddy at the feeling of it and aimed again, letting another rocket go and devastate the ranks of the walking dead.

He then placed the boombox aside, wanting to save the remaining rounds in case something big showed up and pulled out his rifle instead. He climbed to a spot where he could be secure and had a steady placement for the rifle so he could take out high danger targets or help those that were getting swarmed.

"BRING THEM DOWN! I'll cover!" and the first barrage of rounds was sent blasting through the walking corpses with precision. The excited almost maniacal grin on his face never faltering. They were just zombies right?

confused bb intel here to party

[chainofmemories]

This was literally the worst situation Naminé had ever encountered.
She had no idea what to do with herself or what even she was expected to do in this situation, and was thus huddled in the corner with an extremely terrified expression.
"I-i..."
She tries to call out to someone, anyone, but they all seem too busy getting out the fires or battling back zombies. Clutching her quill pen weapon in her hands, Naminé sinks to her knees in fright, trying to cover her head and block out whatever was going on.

[punchedoutdestiny]

Once Simon had finished dealing with the borrowed firetruck, and the thing had reverted back to normal, he stumbled around the immediate area, looking for some of the other group members to see where he might be needed next. And emphasis on the stumbling - apparently transforming that thing took more out of him than he thought.

He spotted Naminé shortly - he recognized her as being in the transport on the way here, and having been milling about the little party earlier. He moves over to her corner, and stoops down. "Hey, what's the matter?" His voice implies urgency, but there's a good deal of concern in there as well.

[chainofmemories]

"I-I have no idea what I'm doing. No one is listening to me a-and..."
She's scared. She's confused. She can't fight.
Naminé takes in a deep breath and uncovers her head, looking up at Simon. "I'm sorry... I'm a let down to you all. I can't even summon my Persona, I tried earlier and--"

[punchedoutdestiny]

"Well, right now, you're fretting," he answers, almost a little amused - trying a little humor to lighten the situation up. "All I know is that we need to we need to keep this big thing from exploding," he adds, jerking a thumb toward the power plant. "And find some guy that ran off inside. I don't know how we'll do the first one - but I figure we can cross that bridge when we get to it. As for the rest..."

He'll attempt to reach out and clap her on the shoulder reassuringly. "It's too early to count yourself out. So what if you failed once? You get back up and keep trying - make enough of a ruckus until you can, alright?"

[chainofmemories]

She nods her head as he speaks, obviously calmed by his words and natural charisma. "Alright. I'll do my best." Naminé pulls herself to her feet, clasping her hands in front of her and taking in a deep breath. She wants to do her best to help everyone, to support them, to show them the way....
Ah, there you are.
"Persona."
Her Persona rose above her head, hand trailing out of her cage and letting a pure white blindfold fall from her grasp. The cloth curled its way around Naminé's eyes and tied itself, blinding her from the area around her but opening her up to so much more.
Waves of restored magic begins to radiate from Canary each time an ally in the room finishes a fight, and a small smile quirks from the pale girls lips.
"I think I might be able to help."

[punchedoutdestiny]

Simon straightens up once Namine stands, grinning a little. He can't help a small pang of nostalgia that's coming up - the same one that did when he had to something similar to knock some sense into someone back home.

...I am thou, thou art I...

Well, looks like they've both figured it out. Simon gives Namine a curt nod before turning on his heel. "Good, 'cause we'll likely need it. Now, let's do it!" Upon saying the words, Simon is joined by a caped, shirtless man with a sheathed katana resting over his shoulder. There's a few moments of gawking from Simon, but he shakes his head and half-grins. "Bro...? Ah, no time to worry over the details. There's work to be done."

have a cat in a similar situation here to comfort bb

[fateaversion]

Sissel wasn't in any way combat-useful. He was a cat of finesse, not of action. That was why he'd grown just as confused as Namine, when it got down to it.

Still, Sissel wasn't any sort of guy to let a little lady - especially one that reminded him somewhat of Kamila - just sit there, alone. Thus, Namine might be surprised by a little kitten with a red scarf moving up to her, lightly pawing at her to try and get her attention. He'd refrained from being telepathic for 9 years - thus, he naturally didn't immediately try and talk to her.

Hopefully, just being there was enough?

;w;

[chainofmemories]

"A-ah..."
She uncovers her head to look down at the kitten, face growing from scared, to confused, to pleasantly surprised. "What are you doing here? This is a very violent place..."
Naminé offers out her hand to Sissel, making little noises to encourage him forward.

lol wow look at my constant edits this is the last one i swear

[fateaversion]

The kitten needs very little encouragement to move forward, pressing his head up against her hand - assuming that was what she aimed to do, of course. Have some purring, Namine!

Namine, of course, might be able to remember that this little kitten was on the transport, too.

hahaha np <3!

[chainofmemories]

Ah, that was right. He was on the transport here, wasn't he?
"Do you have an owner here, kitty? Or..."
Naminé wouldn't really be all too surprised if this animal had a persona, as well. So many odd things had happened already today, and that would really be the least of them.

sorry for the wait!!!

[fateaversion]

Sissel gave a mewl and looked up at the other, when she asked. It wasn't second nature to check to see if she had a core - so instead she just got a kitty who couldn't properly articulate 'no'. Though his eyes were pretty helpful in communicating that fact, if she was good at reading catfaces.

Really, Sissel wasn't entirely sure what a persona was. Some sort of... power? He didn't know. All he knew is that he was doing just fine where he was, thanks.
