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!]

Elaine- Insult Swordfighting and YOU! (Open)

Elaine rapped the hilt of her sword against the cage bars. With the information about this fighting ring she had garnered and the message from Q, she had the beginnings of a scheme.

"Everyone, may I have your attention!" She announced. "It appears that we have been brought here tonight to provide entertainment in the form of Persona duels! How exciting, yes? Of course, we cannot let our gracious hosts down, can we? Therefore, I have a proposition that is sure to make this a lasting evening to remember, where everyone can have fun and stay safe!"

With the demons guarding the door, she didn't want to blurt out her intentions completely. Hopefully everyone got her drift: if we stall long enough we can get out of here.

"Where I come from, sword-fighting is a highly regarded activity, but everyone knows that a sharp wit is just as important as a sharp sword. And so, we indulge in the sport of insult sword-fighting, where you cut down your opponent not with your weapon, but with your words! A good insult sword fight involves quick-thinking and volleying of clever taunts and comebacks back and forth until one participant outsmarts the other. Now, I know that not everyone here has a sword, and our hosts are expecting Persona duels, but I believe the basic tenets can be easily applied even here. If anyone would like a quick lesson, please raise your hand!"

((OOC: HELLO this is a dumb idea I had that I wanted to share. Read THIS for more info on the mechanic and HERE for a list of the insults used in MI or HERE if you want the rhyming edition from MI3. I thiiiink it would be easiest to handwave the 'lessons' beyond the basic rules and just pretend that Elaine taught your character a couple of choice insults and comebacks.))

"So you're saying calling each other words will do as much damage and the demons may like this?"

It sounded almost too good to be true.

"Well, no, a good insult duel doesn't involve physical injuries unless you're really very bad at it." Elaine explained. "But I cannot say that the loser's pride will escape without taking a thorough beating, if you get what I mean. As for our hosts, well, if you're clever enough, the lack of spilled blood shouldn't be an issue."
