Nanaka? walks up to the base of the tower, noticing Yu and walking up to him This obviously isn't a good thing. Are you gathering a party to investigate this thing or something? She looks up at the tree, then back, putting her hands in her pockets If so, I'll come with. Who knows, maybe it'll be fun. She smiles reassuringly at Yu

A small whine is heard as a shiba inu in an orange jacket approaches the tower. Upon seeing Yu, he perks up, trotting over to him. Arf!

"Me? I'm only here to pass something off to the others. As far as I'm away this tower won't be opening for another hour either. I've gotten all the info I need thanks to Chie pointing me in the right direction and from what I've heard there will be plenty of people handling what's supposed to be at the top today. My role in this will be trying to keep the city under control during this fall." Upon seeing Koromaru Yu would look relieved. "Koromaru! Perfect, could you do me a favor during the fall? I have a feeling the other will need something in order to get things done the best they can." Yu would pull out a strange glowing blue crystal. A strange energy would surround it. The energy would seem similar to the presence of My but much more stable in a way.

The strange liner had many stops, but it would seem that this one was the most important. The horn blasted with such magnitude that even the top of the tower could feel the mighty blast. The train screeched to a stop, and its resident departed and approached the gathering at the foot of the tower. "Let me say this to start, this is quite possibly the most important battle you shall ever meet. We are approaching a junction in time, the size of which I've never seen. Time itself is bracing for the clash we must meet. I shall accompany you, i-if it's not to much trouble." He started his speech strong, but kind of fell apart toward the end. He's pressing his fingers together nervously now.

*he walks up to the group with his nanite sword and claws* Hey there everyone. What's the point of the tower?

Woof? Koromaru wags his tail, then tries to sniff the strange crystal. Whatever Yu's asking, it's probably important. Especially with the Fall happening soon.

Yu looks at the group with a sigh. It's clear that he's trying to hold himself together and tries to explain the situation calmly. "Apparently this tower is called Tartarus. It's a signal of the end of the world. Today is the day of an event known as The Fall. A day in which the embodiment of death itself crashes down into the city and spreads death to every living thing in the Nexus. If it's not stopped then everyone will die. To make things even more complicated someone's trapped up in the tree up on top as well. That tree is their Persona I believe but it's gone out of control due to Nyx's influence. Unless we can free the one up there they'll end up dying if Nyx is sealed away. So, it's a pretty bad situation. That's why I'm going to need to hand of this Plume of Dusk to those who are going to go stop Nyx. Hopefully they can use it to free that guy up there."

*he nods to what Yu said and he summons his Emperor Persona Lu Bu* I am ready for this.

Ah, well if that's the case, good luck Party Man! I'm sure you'll do great. And I'm sure that everything will be ok. We have all kinds of heroes in this world. They won't let themselves die without a fight. She hands Yu a bar of chocolate, Smiling kindly Here, eat it, it'll cheer you up, give you a bit more courage. Upon hearing Deneb, she seems impressed, but keeps her calm smile Time itself huh? Guess I have no choice but to join. This place holds a special place in my memory. I can't just back down after hearing that.

Ooc: Just pretend that I didn't delete my post. Jiyu crosses his arms while giving Yu the "Are you serious?" look on his face "The end of the world, really? If I do recall every time someone predicted the end of the world, it didn't happen."

Rrruff. Koromaru looks up at Jiyu and paws the ground. He seems to be trying to convey the seriousness of the situation with his intense glare.

*he sees the dog and kneels to him* Aren't you a cute puppy.

Yu would take the chocolate bar almost kbowing what to do with it. He would quietly break a piece of and sample the choclate. "Thanks, Nanaka. I'm feeling better already." He'd set the Plume of Dusk on a nearby pedestal of stone rubble before beginning to walk away. "Anyway, my job of explaining the situations nd delivering the Plume is done. The doors shouldn't be opening for a while longer but I hope everyone can figure out how to stop Nyx. I have faith in you all. I'm going to go look around and make sure the city is still alright. During the Fall, there will be panic and shadows will be breaking lose from the apothy syndrome patients." With that Yu would begin walking back into the city. He was still anxious but he tried to hide his fear until he got farther away from the others.

She smiles at Jiyu Of course the end of the world has never come. That's because there are heroes out there that stop it. Every time. This time too. She giggles and shouts after Yu Nana! Not Nanaka! We're different people!

Deneb silently nods knowingly. His demeanor makes it seem like he's been through such a situation before. "I might not be able to fight at full capacity, but you can expect me to fight as hard as I can!" Deneb surveys the group, but seems to shake his head to himself.

Arf, arf! Koro then sits down in front of the pedistal, waiting patiently. He occasionally glances at the door while panting.

Jiyu glances over to Koromaru thinking, "Is this dog mad at what I said? I should probably keep quiet before it bites my ass." He then looks over to Nanaka while putting his hands back in his pockets "So the end of the world is legit this time? Well if you guys need extra help preventing it, then I'll help."

*he gives the dog a bag of dog food* Waiting for someone?

*Shade sighs* It would seem I lack the necessary presence to be noticed here. How disappointing.

As Yu finishes, Aitome steps up to the tower and pulls a short sword off her back, spinning it around before pointing to the top of the tower, then turning to the rest of the people You don't need to worry about us Silver Hair. We shall climb this tower, and change their undesirable fate! Afterall, we are Warriors of Hope! Crusaders of Fate! Every life has their value! So I'll save them all! Even if it kills me! Aitome then flicks a tuft of hair away from her eyes and puts the blade back, smiling at the party and crossing her arms Now then! Who's with me! I'm not taking no for an answer! Let's save this world and change fate! Aitome then drops her arms and takes a deep breath, before standing tall again, standing next to the doors of Taterus and awaiting the moment they open

Deneb holds his finger up, in a matter of fact manner. "A-actually, w-we're not changing fate per se. We're s-simply choosing wh-which fate we meet!" Deneb bows in an apologetic manner.

She turns to Shade It's not that you have a lack of presence, I just thought you wanted to be left alone. Sorry about that. She smiles apologetically, then turns to Deneb Don't worry yourself so much, we're all friends here. No need to apologize. Here, eat this. It should cheer you a bit. She hands him a bar of chocolate before hearing Aitome and chuckling Right! Warriors of Fate! United under the banner of light! Nice to meet you, I'm Nana.

Why is that people's first impression of me? Do I look that much like a loner? *Shade shakes his head* It's sad that what people think of me. Well, that doesn't really matter right now, I suppose.

Jiyu was silently sitting on the ground for the past 30 minutes lost in thought, wondering what would happen if the world were to end and if he would die trying to save it "....."

Kinda, but here's a bit of advice, if you wanna be noticed, you gotta make the effort to. Walk up to someone and talk to them. Introduce yourself. Let people know that you wanna talk to them. She smiles at Shade That way they know you're not just a bystander.

Deneb takes the chocolate, and places it under his cloak. He bows deeply. "Thank you very much!" Deneb tries to console Aitome, but doesn't seem to know how to go about it. "A-ah! N-Not that choosing f-fate is much different than changing it! Yes, that's right! We're changing fate mhmm! That's what we're doing!" Deneb seems slightly flustered.

I would think the act of being here would prove I'm not a bystander, but that is a bit presumptuous, I suppose. *Shade looks around* So, does this party have a leader or are you waiting around for one to show up?

Aitome slowly gets up with Debeb's help, shaking her head and casting away her fear, swallowing her damaged pride and standing tall again, Ahem..! I-I'm alright Denby! A little grammatical mistake is nothing to fear! I have to be a leader in these dark times after all! Hehe! A-at any rate I'll be over there! I've gotta do some things! Aitome then walks a little distance away and puts her head down, mumbling to herself

[The doors of Tartarus would finally open. It seems they lead into another thread.]

Hmm..... We don't particularly seem to have any specific leader, no.

Jiyu gets out of his trance upon hearing the doors open. He would then get up and face the door with his fists clenched "Is it time?"
