[OPEN][TAURUS EVENT] DAICHI'S SUPER AMAZING FIRE TRUCK ADVENTURE

[hetried]

Who: Daichi Shijima, Yosuke Hanamura [OU], Yosuke Hanamura [AU], Eikichi Mishina, Junpei Iori, Miyabi Hanakouji, Rise Kujikawa, Sasha Fyer, Elaine Marley, and everyone else their merry band of vigilantes is bound to run into
Where: All around the city. On a Firetruck. April 26th, 13th Hour
Summary: In light of everyone going crazy in the 13th Hour, a few of your resident sidekicks have come up with a brilliant plan; hijack a fire truck, and use mobility and access to the fire hydrants to douse the enemies with super-effective watery attacks. Be the Heroes. Save the City.
Warnings: Remember, anyone actually coming along on the firetruck adventure is gonna get slapped with some community service from the government. Also firehose water pressure, also crazy zodiac folks and monsters and Taurus Taurus Taurus.




By the time they had all gotten out of captivity, the chaos in the city had already been fully under way. Everyone going crazy, bull monsters-- it was quite a sight to behold. Daichi, the pair of Yosukes, Eikichi and Junpei had decided it was best to stick together; safety in numbers after all, right?

It was while they were trekking through the city to track down Miyabi that Daichi and Eikichi had gotten an idea; the water attacks from Hades were particularly effective it seemed (enough to bust down the wall, at least), and some of their own elemental attacks had all been restricted. The city had plenty of fire hydrants all over, which means there was water easily accessible if they had the tools. Unfortunately, none of them had the tools, so someone proposed clearly the most elegant solution--

Steal a firetruck from the department in Leo! They'd be able to access the water and be mobile enough to help the whole city. Clearly it was a brilliant plan.

If you're sane, you might guess this is not the most brilliant, or-- sane solution, but under horrible decision-making influence from the Zodiac problems, they deemed this is a perfectly good solution. Any concerns about the exact, er-- legality of it were quickly stowed, because they were of course, trying to save the city. It was the whole reason they were here, after all! And even if it wasn't brilliant, it would turn out to be effective.

Conveniently, Daichi knew his way around the emergency dispatch, and knew where they kept the keys. They'd essentially snuck into the fire station-- most of the people were already out and dispatched anyway, as the situation had only gotten worse since this morning. With a bloated sense of bravery, recklessness and impulsiveness, Daichi had grabbed the keys and hopped into the driver's seat, the others either piling into the back of the truck or joining him in the front seat.

And thus they were off. To fight crime.

Or mutated bull monsters, that worked too.

(OOC: This log is basically gonna go down like a mingle post! Basically, everyone who's riding along on the actual firetruck will be driving around the city, stopping every now and then to fight monsters and help people and what have you, leaving plenty of a chance to encounter your character if you don't want to come for the ride. Make a thread in the log and one or more of the idiots on board will come tag you! We can keep it to one thread, we can have multiple threads, we can have two-person threads or threadjacks, go nuts! Keep it open or request specific characters if you want-- make sure to mention your preferences in the header!

For those that are joining the crusade after the gaggle of sidekicks break out, you can make a thread where your character gets recruited/volunteers to join the firetruck crew, or we can just handwave it if you want. Regardless, you're free to jump all around the post at your leisure as well! Just don't piss off the driver or the captain.)

IDIOTS ON A TRUCK/GENERAL SHENANIGANS

[hetried]

[For if anyone who's coming along for the ride wants to thread out ridiculous things while actually driving around on the truck.]

+1 idiot on a truck

[disconinjafrog]

[So Yosuke had initially thought that this was a really, really great idea when it had been presented to him. After all, he'd been stressing out over how useless he'd been these past several days leading up to the Thirteenth Hour, what with sheer terror wracking him for all that time.

Now that his head was clear, though, and he was clinging for dear life to the side of the fire truck with Apollo flying beside him as they drive down the streets with the siren blaring, heading into masses of monsters on a stolen firetruck... he's starting to rethink this whole thing.

As Daichi swerves and he nearly loses his grip, Yosuke shouts in terror, yelling towards the diver's seat.]

Watch it!! I know we're in a rush but I don't think I could survive falling off of this thing!!

[He just had to volunteer to grip onto the side of the truck like a real fire fighter, huh?]

+2 Eikichi's in a truck...ladder.

[deathboss]

[Eikichi on he other hand couldn't feel better. He had climbed on top of the truck's ladder, using it as a perch as he got closer to where the last phone call from Miyabi had been.

There's a sense of adventure singing in his veins despite the situation they are in, and he grins as Hades sends another torrent of water at nearby demons.

Man, this hero job was really great when you got a little power boost.]

I don't see what's the problem, he's miles ahead of how Big Sis used to drive!

[Not crashing is A+ in his book.]

+3 Daichi still in the driver's seat

[hetried]

[Unfortunately for Yosuke, Daichi seemed to be a bit uh... hopped up on the thrill of the ~adventure~-- or maybe the Zodiac effect made him an adrenaline junky.

Either way, he sounded like he was having a damn good time, and completely disregarded Yosuke's request as he kept running red lights. Which, wasn't too big of a problem because there weren't many cars in the streets anyway, and he had a siren on.

Amazingly he was indeed, not crashing or at risk of flipping over. Go figure.]

No time, dude! We've got a city to help and a time limit!

[Also they had to pick up Eikichi's girlfriend or something.]

[disconinjafrog]

At least watch it when you're swerving around turns, I don't think I can hold on that tight!!

[Seriously, the last thing he needed right now was a million broken bones and some road rash... Just in case, he shuffles alongside the truck and grabs one of the firemen's helmets inside, one of the sturdy ones with a visor and everything, and straps it onto his head. At least if everything else broke, his brain would be fine.

When they're on a straighter looking stretch, Yosuke dares to hold out one of his hands and call up Apollo.]

Apollo, Fire Punch!!

[The Persona dives into a cluster of bulls that are in the path of the truck, bowling through them with the fire+physical attack. It was almost fitting, that the fire truck was shooting both water and fire.]

[hasleveledup]

You heard the man! We've got a city to save! Seconds count, dude! Totally Badass Persona Heroes, assemble!

[Junpei sticks his head out of the passenger side window, aiming his Evoker at his head and summoning Trismegistus.]

Light'em up!

[deathboss]

GOOD JOB BROS!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, LET'S LIGHT UP THE NIGHT SKY AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM!!!

BLOODY HONEYMOON!

[Suddenly everyone is married in perfect brotrimony--wait no actually Hades sends out a torrent of water and light at the nearby demons, saving them from getting attacked. As they pass a group, he gives them wave and a sentai pose?]

Don't worry babes, we'll protect the city! For truth, justice and the Hinoto-Ri way!

[You do not understand. How he always wanted to say something like that.

You have.

No.

Idea.]

[hetried]

[As if on cue, Daichi promptly did another swerve around another corner-- which rocked it pretty far, but it didn't fly up on one wheel at least. Blame it on the force from all of the attacks moving it, alright.

Whatever. He was in the zone.]

Alright, first thing's first-- Eikichi! You said you had a friend that you needed to help, right? Point the way!

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh wow, that's a fire truck!

[The Yosukes' favorite Captain Obvious was standing on a street corner shouting the vital statistics of the nearby bull monsters to anyone fighting them into a megaphone, but now something new's attracted her attention.]

Hey guys! Can I have a ride? That looks SO MUCH FUN!

[hetried]

[If her yelling on a street corner didn't catch his attention, the megaphone sure as hell did!

When she seemed to flag them down, Daichi hit the breaks and pulled them to a stop on the side of the street.]

Uh-- sure, why not? We could use all the help we could get! [And she seemed to know how to beat these things, that was cool.

He gestured to the rest of the truck with a grin.] Hop on in!

[deathboss]

Hop in? Bro, that ain't a way to treat a babe! Hades, if you please...

[Eikichi's persona flies down to open the door for her.]

[hasleveledup]

Awww man, this is so awesome!

[First kittens, now girls! Cute girls who look like the idol girls on TV even! Could this get any better?]

Welcome aboard the hero express!

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh wow, such great service~! You guys get an A+!

[With that, she greets the truck with a winning smile before climbing straight up to the top.]

O-KAY! Let's go beat up some monsters!

[hetried]

[Eikichi showing off just made Daichi purse his lips in discontent.]

Show off.

[Nevertheless, he quickly shook that off, grinning as he placed his hand on the clutch again.] Alright, hang on tight!

[Once he was sure that Rise was inside and secure, he hit the gas once more and it was off they went!]

[hanakozy]

[And rest assured, once Rise reaches the top where she and Eikichi had stationed themselves, she'll be quick to introduce herself and chat with the sociable pop star.]

[plunderbunny]

[What's the best way to stop a speeding firetruck? STEP OUT INTO THE STREET RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT.]

Halt!

[hetried]

[Yeah that was definitely one way to get someone's attention.

There were plenty of methods to safely deal with someone stepping in the middle of the street. Probably. The method Daichi chose was to let out a yell of surprise and slam his foot down on the break, turning just slightly so they didn't crash right into her.]

Augh-- Hey! [He threw the driver's door open to glare at her and so, you know she could hear him being aggravated.] What's the big idea?!

[plunderbunny]

[Yeah guess who doesn't give a flying you-know-what. Not even about being almost run over!]

I am commandeering this vessel. Because of reasons.

[And without giving him a chance to respond she climbs aboard and produces something from behind her back. Wait, is that a Jolly Roger?]

[hetried]

C-- Commandeering?!

[Reasons were stupid reasons!

He watched her flabbergasted as she moved and-- Jesus, was she trying to be a real pirate?!]

What are you doing?!

[hasleveledup]

She must be the enemy! Or the enemy's love interest who really isn't as awesome as she lets on to be!

[Junpei could not stop running his mouth. Everyone had a role in this real life comic book adventure of his, and he had to point it out. Even if he didn't want to, inwardly.

He goes for his sword and holds it up like a baseball bat, ready to help Daichi get her off of the fire truck.]

[plunderbunny]

[Look out, bro, she has a sword of her own and it's in your face.]

In case neither of you have noticed, the city is overrun with monsters and there are helpless citizens in need. Your ship is fast enough to get me to said citizens in need, therefore I am taking command of it.

[Did she seriously just call the firetruck a ship.]

Any questions?

[deathboss]

Yeah I have one.

Can you guys all just quit it?!

Let's go help the citizens, and stop bickering! The truck's for that purpose so let's go water down more monsters already!

[Did the universe just turn...no Eikichi just had his quota of people acting like idiots for the past half hour.]

[Open to anyone. Make his life miserable. XD]

[faustianphantom]

[This is what hell is like, right? Riding on a fire truck for greater justice and worrying incessantly about strangers...

This is ridiculous, right? Some part of Ciel is screaming for him not to make a fool of himself, but here he is. On a fire truck, worriedly scanning the streets for those in danger.

He is even using his pistol to fire at the bull monsters.

Make it stop.]

Over there!

[hetried]

[You say ridiculous, we say totally awesome and completely valid ways to fight crime. Or bull monsters. Yeah that one.

But hey, having people that could tell them where to go was always useful! At Ciel's declaration, he eagerly complies, taking another sharp turn, probably much to Yosuke's chagrin. Oops.]

You got it!

[deathboss]

And someone fell down from the top of the truck again. At least he still up there and hasn't tumbled off!
