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

+1 idiot on a truck
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.
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
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.]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
[Junpei sticks his head out of the passenger side window, aiming his Evoker at his head and summoning Trismegistus.]
Light'em up!
no subject
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.]
no subject
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!
no subject
Two more blocks straight ahead and then turn left and that's where the signal came from, bro!
[We now pronounce Eikichi and everyone on this firetruck Bro and Bro.]
no subject
You got it!
[Thankfully, that didn't take much time at all-- the last two blocks went by in the blink of an eye, and with another overdramatic turn (sorry Yosuke, he'll make it up to you later), he brought the truck to a stop on the side of the street.
He actually had no idea what this girl looked like so he was sort of stuck just opening the door and hoping Eikichi could spot her.]
Hey-- uh, Miyabi, was it?! You here?
no subject
Yes... are you driving a firetruck?
no subject
[Guess who jumped off the top of the firetruck to the ground and grabbed her into the world's biggest hug.]
We borrowed it to save others!
no subject
We'll keep you safe from these crazy cows! Hurry up and get on board!
[There's plenty of room! Even with a few rescued kittens sitting in unused water buckets.]
no subject
Well, if it's safe... I trust your judgement.
no subject
[And with an exaggerated flourish, he presents to her...THE FIRETRUCK™.]
I saved you a seat on top babe! It moves a lot more, but we can see the entire city with a much better view.
...of course I'll n-need to uh...hold you tight so you don't fall off...
[EIKICHI.]
no subject
Eikichi, come on! Now's not the time to be standing around hitting on your girlfriend!
[He had one hand on the wheel, a kitten sitting on his seat, and he was ready to keep going goddamn.]
no subject
[He says giving Daichi a small glare, as he gently lifts Miyabi up so she can grab the upper part of the truck.]
no subject
I don't think my Earth attacks will be much help to you all against these monsters, but I suppose I can scan them and give you all some buffs to move faster. Persephone is more of a gardening Persona than anything...
no subject
Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick...
[He leans back against the truck and lifts his helmet off of his eyes, blinking at the damsel that they happened to save... Wow. Perhaps Yosuke shouldn't be so surprised that Eikichi's girl looks so fantastic, rock stars get all of the hot girls after all. But he can't seem to stop staring. And his cheeks are burning.
As she starts climbing up, he's gotta avert his eyes for a moment because oh man that's just an accident waiting to happen, before he looks back up at her.]
Hey, sitting up there isn't really the best idea, Daichi's driving is insane I nearly got tossed off of this thing every turn!
[Which is why he's taking a seat inside this time.]
no subject
No problem bro! My Persona's gonna be holding on tight to her...as I will!
[Hovering Personas make everything easier.]
no subject
Hey, is not! It wasn't my idea for you to ride on the outside.
[He looked at Yosuke with pursed lips, before dropping it as he started up the truck again.]
Don't worry-- my Persona uses fire, he's pretty lame for this too. That's why we nabbed the truck! There's all sorts of water sources throughout the city, if we can get to them!
