[Game Opening, Part 1 - What Souls Here May Bring]

[stringmods]

The drawstrings cut,
my hollow ebony stained wood plomps to the floor—
THUD

Eyes open, souls recollect.
The new me, erect.

I make my own decisions, have my own priorities,
have my own thoughts.

No external force taps into me—
Freedom.
- Jana Bielecki
Who: (Everyone OPEN LOG)

Summary: (You've just arrived in the city. Welcome.)
Warnings: (Intro logs are pretty warnable.)
Style: (The text is in prose, but feel free to write back in action tags if you feel more comfortable.)

They always say the first day on a new job is always the hardest.

But tell me...did those tasks include being taken from your own homeworld, dumped into a city you didn't recognize, meeting a man dressed in the purest of whites with a butterfly mask, to be bestowed the power of Persona, and then having some Men in Black lead you to the city hall saying you were expected?

...

...at least your things are apparently safe in your new apartments?

...

...looks like you might be here for a while.


What a way to start the first of September...

As they usher the last of you in, you realize that they've been preparing this for quite a while. There is a small table with food on the right, mixed cuisine (although the main theme seems to be Japanese dishes). Some strange computer program appears next to you and seems to be translating what you are saying so those before you understand. Language barriers? Don't be silly!

Most of the men ignore you after that. You are expected to mingle amongst yourselves a bit before the main 'show' starts, it seems....

"Well, admittedly my final moments are understandably unclear," Yamato stated, "so I don't know if I died completely and was revived, or was somehow put back together enough to not die. However, either way, I have no explanation of how this," he gestured to himself, "happened."

"I suppose that's understandable." Ludwig hadn't been able to keep track of himself in a few of his deaths either, but that was probably a slightly different situation than what was going on with Yamato. "Maybe it was that strange man's doing... the one with the mask."

[drakenguard]

"It is a high possibility," Yamato said simply. High possibility? More like completely certain.

"I've been wondering about him... we only saw him once, before we woke up here. I wonder if we'll ever see him again." Ludwig shifted his weight from foot to foot. "And I wonder what else we'll see here..."

[drakenguard]

Yamato gave him a long, sideways look. "It is obvious that we would see him again. I highly doubt he will simply squat in the shadows for the entirety of our stay here. What will come, will come."
