Who: Those involved in the kidnapping plot
Where: The Underground
Summary: Mingle log for those who signed up to be kidnapped
Warnings: PG-13 to be safe


Wherever you might have been last night... well, you certainly aren't there anymore.

Upon waking up, you'll find yourself in completely different clothes than you were in before, consisting of an elegant toga and a crown made of flowers of various sizes, types, and colors; surprisingly, whatever equipment you usually use in fights is still on you as well. Many other Visitors are awake or rousing around you, and you all seem to be contained within a rather large cage. The design is very reminiscent of Greek architecture, decorated with flowers, colorful tapestries, and embedded with seashells in the floor and walls. Any powers you may have to easily get you out of here... well, they don't seem to be working as they should be right now. Beyond the cage you can make out two demonic looking figures standing guard by a door leading outside of the room, but they don't seem particularly interested in what's going on in the cage.

Whether you like it or not, there doesn't seem to be any escape for the time being. Perhaps you should talk to your fellow captives and see if anyone has any idea of what's going on, or maybe yell out at the guards? Come to think of it, there seems to be two people mingling in the cage that you may not recognize as Visitors such as yourself...

[OOC Note: It's time to mingle! See what your fellow captives are up to (as well as some NPCs later). Will there be a way to escape? Will you be rescued? Or will you have to endure whatever is waiting for you? Try not to panic!]

King DeDeDe - OPEN

[emperor_penguin]

The hell's all this?

[DeDeDe is none too happy about being kidnapped and waking up in some strange jail cell, but at least the place is well-appointed. It softens the blow just a little. And the choice of attire is definitely hilarious.]

Heh... I look like my Persona wearin' all this.

[Well, first things first. Let's make sure the hammer's in good working condition. He picks it up, bouncing it up and down in his hand a few times to test the grip and the weight, before nodding and slinging it over his shoulder.]

Must be pretty damn confident too, lettin' us keep our weapons.

just a threadjack, you can ignore if you want!

[hinoto_npcs]

[Off to the side, one of the strangers took notice of the hedgehog speaking, looking on with a strange expression. Her eyes crossed to Dedede, and she snuggled her two stuffed animals tighter.]

They look...almost cute?! Gosh, I should get a picture...oh, but now is not the time...

[emperor_penguin]

Hell if I know.

[He gives a shrug to Shadow before noticing the girl looking at them.]

How 'bout you, girly? Never seen you around before.

I'm willing to continue the thread between this girl and D if you want

[emperor_penguin]

[not_heavens_adam]

[Johnny slid up next to his boss, arms crossed and both his sword and his whip at his hip. Usually, they weren't on him, so it was a little strange, but whatever.]

They're underestimating us. Or perhaps overestimating whatever they intend to throw at us.

Hmmm...you look good like that, D~

[emperor_penguin]

Like a regular emperor penguin, heh.

[He grins, chuckling a bit.]

So they got you too, huh?

[not_heavens_adam]

Mmhmm! Don't really remember how, but I guess it doesn't really matter at this point.

So, which sounds better: waiting around to see what they want or causing a ruckus to get their attention?

[emperor_penguin]

We're on their turf now. Might as well wait it out an' see what they want 'fore we go off all half-cocked.

[not_heavens_adam]

Yes, you have a point. I doubt we'll have any real trouble if things start stirring anyway.

[emperor_penguin]

I ain't too worried. Betcha the cavalry's already on its way.

[not_heavens_adam]

Mmm. Yes, you're probably right! And I'll be willing to bet Otoha's among them, he'll come in and rescue us like the knight in shining armor he is.

[emperor_penguin]

There ya go, then. No reason not to kick back and wait.

[justanoutsider]

[Zael's been walking around, going over their new case, all the while feeling rather absurd in his current state of dress. It makes him glad Yurick isn't here. He can't imagine him with a crown of flowers attached. The mage would sooner see them burned.

He's taken the his own off—didn't even stop to think twice about it—though there's not much he can do about the toga. But he still has his sword... and his bow of all things in its usual case. He'll make do. He stops when his eyes wander over to DeDeDe's form, stares at him a few momentary seconds until he can become used to what exactly he's looking at, before his ears pick up other abductee's comments. Everyone Zael's seen so far had appeared to be human. He hadn't expected things to deviate from the pattern, but he guesses even demons weren't spared, though Zael hadn't known demons could use Persona like they could.

Still, plenty of demons he had stopped to talk to in Hinoto-Ri had been friendly.]

Your guess is as good as mine.

But from my experience, if they let us have our weapons, they're expecting us to fight.

[emperor_penguin]

[DeDeDe's not a demon, but he could definitely understand someone making that mistake. There aren't very many non-human Visitors in town, after all.]

Well, if they're itchin' for a fight, I don't mind givin' it to 'em. They messed with the wrong bird.

[justanoutsider]

[His eyes stray to the large hammer, his gaze more evaluative than anything. He doubts he could lift it, and he's held many heavy blades in his time.]

You certainly do look like you can handle your own, sir. [His tight expression eases into a small smile.] Maybe next time they'll just hand you an invitation.

[emperor_penguin]

[It'd definitely be a two-hander for just about anyone. The fact that D is swinging it around with only one speaks to the immense strength this penguin is packing.]

'Least then I could stay the hell home and not waste my time.
