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!]

[He shakes his head- he doesn't seriously think that a god or goddess captured them, but hey, talking about Greek mythology is something he likes.]

Nah, nah, Demeter and Persephone were more or less pacifistic goddesses, if I remember correctly. I mean, they could get mad, but they didn't do battles to the death, you're right.

Maybe Ares? He's the god of war. Fighting and bloodshed and all that.

Hm. That's actually possible.

[Shui looks pleased at the thought, but gave a snort a moment later.]

But, flower crowns? I would have expected barbed wire instead.

Hey, maybe they wanted us to look nice before throwing us into the fray. Or it's somebody's idea of a stupid joke.

[He takes his off and gives it a frown- he's read enough meanings on flowers to know exactly what asphodels signify.]

I don't really see the point in them, anyways.

Maybe they needed a woman's touch?

[Shui suddenly balks, taking her own crown off and examining it.]

...actually...I wonder. This cage seems to be prepared to handle people's powers, but can it handle something as simple as a flower?
primordial: (but do not think you've won)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-07-26 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Woman's touch? You think the person who did this had a wife they needed to please?

[He stares at her for a minute, almost wanting to tell her she's stupid, but hey, stranger things have happened in Hinoto-Ri.]

Um. Well...if you could use a flower to break out of something, then maybe. These things are flimsy enough on their own, though. You could barely cut through paper with them.

Heh. Maybe my Persona will be useful for something, then.

[Keeping an eye out for the guards, Shui set her bears down and dropped the crown by the bars. She backed up somewhat, before nodding her head and bringing forth a man of branches and leaves.]

Vertumnus!

[The Persona gestured to the crown, making the flowers bow and flex, quickly sprouting up and wrapping themselves around the bars- but it cringed and stopped short of breaking the bars. The girl looked exasperated, or exhausted, it was hard to tell.]

Haah...this would have been easier...if they had left us a sapling, or something...

[Sam almost gets up in shock, because that is not something you see every day, but when he realizes that attempt was futile, he looks a bit disappointed, letting out a sigh.]

Looks like that didn't work, huh.

That's a cool Persona, though...wasn't Vertummus the god of seasons and plant growth?

If I had more time, it totally could have. I used Life Exchange to break my old back door lock once...

[Apparently it had been exhaustion over exasperation, cos Shui flopped down overdramatically by the bars.]

I think so? I could never find much information on him. Ri has more information on Japanese dieties than other regions. I guess cos we don't...really have other regions anymore.

That's a kind of small task to use your Persona on, but hey, I guess desperate times call for desperate measures...

[He trails off with a shrug.]

Really? Yeah, I found that interesting. I mean, with the amount of Personas that I've seen, some of them are mythological in nature...I wonder why the lack of information on religions, though?
