well if we're going to have a leader its probably important for him to know what everyone can do

Maybe what Mementos is? Like I know it's a place but we know nothing about it.

We need someone who can drive

I still know nothing of this place or our foes, I would indeed enjoy a summary

I'm to busy cooking some toxins and drugs and research don't make me leader.

OOC: Let's go over our requests. :P

------------

Drive? Why would we need someone who can drive?

we do plan on walking there after all, no need to drive.

I need to be here please protect me

Oh, didn't I tell you? I can transform into a van

I can drive pretty well. As for what you guys can do Mona your a healer with wind magic right? Yuki is a wildcard so I'm guessing around everything. What about you two Dragoon and Bgammax. Also Kazuya is coming but he's down to a sword right now.

As for what the place it think it as mankind's collective unconscious. Place is crawling with things called shadows that take the form of demons and other things famous to humans so no telling what they'll be. And oh yeah we got any known targets?

No known targets...

OOC: Except maybe Fatposter

I would be thankful if you guys let me talk to the first few shadows we encounter, that way I will be able to assist with my demons, and even though I'm good with the sword, I can't do much against magic users

Yeah talking to them is fine. If they won't listen we just knock em down then make them listen.

I don't have a persona or anything, and honestly my sword is more for show, I don't even have many items on me, so about as useful as Kazuya at first, but he's likely to get refueled sometime down here

A van.... okay.... and I thought the talking butterfly was weird.

Well maybe being in danger will awaken you to a Persona. You got a burning desire to rebel?

OOC: I just thought about it, would our clothes change once we enter the Metaverse as well?

@Tatsuya
I am a skilled spearman Equipped with the power bestowed by the Eyes of Nidhoggr. I am not sure if you would call it a "persona" but when This power is activated, a large, ethereal dragon walks with my into battle

Actually it makes sense. The metaverse is based on public cognition and cats turning into buses is a fairly common one here. Likely because of My Neighbour Totoro.

Me*

OOC:No not unless we get a Persona there. Just like how SEES didn't use cards in Arena.

OOC: Eh, just a weird thought.

@Tatsuya
well I'm always up for growth, if something like this can get me the power I saw earlier I'd be more than happy to

@Tatsuya

How would you like me to assist I lack a persona but like I said my drugs and toxin ready and don't bother telling me to go away.

Big dragon huh? Sounds pretty handy. You'll be up towards the front line with me then.

What do you mean by having a strong desire to rebel?

Oh yeah does anyone here lack a weapon?

Frankly I'm not quite sure myself remember that's not how I got a Persona. Mona any thoughts on that way of gaining our power?

I got a spiked butterfly net...

OOC: On that note, will we need code names?

@Tatsuya the power has to come from one'a TRUE self. It won't happen if we try to force it.

*Hands Yuki Excalibur* You do use swords right? OOC:If you guys want to use them feel free but if not that's fine to. It's mostly a way to not have to call MC leader or something.

Hmm so not as easy as facing one's shadow or calling up Philemon then.

Yeah I can.

OK good so anything else before we head in?

Oh hey, mementos? mind if i come as well?
I'm bored.

I think we're ready.

Yeah, the rest of the city is going nuts. But that's nothing new.

I am ready for battle!

YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SHITPOST LIKE A GOD BEFORE YOU GO IN

THE CHURCH OF THE FUKBOI SHALL SHOW YOU THE WAY

Welcome aboard NotAkira. *Tatsuya pulls out the Metaverse navi app and clicks it. The worlds shifts into a twisted subway tunnel* Alright team welcome..
To everyone's Palace!

@VaginaldMacJizzler
Your posts are spammy and annoying, they do not garner humor in the slightest

Woah. This is just as creepy as Tartarus.

mementos pls boss

*A seemingly endless tunnel stretches out before everyone* OOC: Yes I am someone you know Tatsuya in fact. I'm stealing a page from Yu and playing our foes to unless someone else wants to do it.

For some reason I expected something... Grander. It just looks like an old subway tunnel with some weird things added on

How odd....I feel The Echo here....what power does this place hold?

So... what exactly ARE we doing here today?

It get's weirder the deeper you go from what I hear. Anyways I do believe it's van time unless we want to take forever.

Huh...the red and black atmosphere makes this place so dull honestly. Is Mementos always like this.

Just checking out to get some training in for now. And see if the nexus has changed anything.

OOC: I guess you could call him... Mementos for some.

-------------

Well this place has a certain creep factor that Nyarlathotep can't replicate. Goodness help us if he started replicating it.

This place feel so strange...almost like the Diamond Realm, you guys sure we'll be okay?

What's scarier is that this was created by people's unconscious.

So more importantly you got a layout of Mementos?

from what I've seen of our group we should be fine as long as we don't manage to run into a Sin or something

No Nyarlathotep can't copy this creep factor. As for it being like the Diamond Realm I can't say but Mona's been in here lots and come out fine.

It's unsettling, but we haven't gotten any health problems from being here so far. Aside from shadow attacks, of course.

*Gae Bolg flashes, and becomes an Aether Spear*
Is this place....Allagan?

I mean, I've seen enough sins already to know this is pretty close to the inner mind of people.

Actually, I wonder if this is where Sins dwell before they become strong enough to get out and attack us.

No there's no layout. It shifts every time you go in so we won't know till we're inside.

@Tatsuya

Really...well let's go then nothing to do out here.

oh way to boost my confidence Migrant.
now I get the lovely image of a Sin waiting around every corner.

Right. So, who's gonna be on the reserve team?

OOC :Well I'ma just pretend Mona is here since he seems to have vanished.

*Tatsuya hops into the van* Alright everyone pile in.

I can't support, and i've got the wild card, so if that helps the decision.

Reserve team? I normally just throw everyone we have room for at the demons. Is that not how you guys did it?

*he gets in the van* This might get cramped...

......I don't think everyone can fit in the van...

*Kazuya gets in the van*
Wow, comfy!

Well we can walk if you guys want. I could also bring my bike next time to save a little room.

So, uh, Anyone but me and Mona have code names?

*jumps in the van* I'm sure this will be fine,
if we're going to have reserves it should probably include Kazuya and I unless he needs to talk to the shadows personally to get his magnetite

Walking may take to long though...whatever. *Climbs into the back of the Van right against the doors*

OOC: Click to load youtube video

-------------

*squeezes into the back of the Van as well*

Well this is going to be awkward... can't Mona make more seats or something?

I can ride on top like a badass if you need.

I'll go by Phoenix in here Joker. *Phoenix drives along for a bit before spotting a shadow* Alright everyone this should be easy since it's so early. *He slams the car into it's back*

I can jump faster, or ride on top

@NotAkira Don't bother chasing us if you fall off.

Please guys, let me talk to it!

*The shadow bursts forth into 2 King Frosts*

Talk away.

It's... starting to get a little crowdef in here...

... Ok what the hell isn't this floor one? Anyways try and begin contact Kazuya I'll step in if need be.

I have more than enough Proficiency to not fall off, but for now i'm ready to take this shadow down.

aren't shadows supposed to look more... humanoid?
I mean whatever they're supposed to be its very clearly a kind of its own

Finally, a fight! *rushes forward*

Alright, I should usea friendly approach...
*He gets near the shadows, smiling*
Hey! King Frost! Can we talk for a little while?

No only special shadows are like humans. These are much weaker. Though still pretty strong for a random. No weakness either and it absorbs Ice so don't use that.

Alright, lets do this.

*stops* ah right, diplomacy

This looks like a tough one...

He Ho human I don't see why not. So what brings you to me great king of ice!

God i hate fighting these guys. Stores of HP and no weaknesses.

Same here...

*Whispers* If it comes to a fight I say we just nuke them with instant kill dark.

Let's stay civil first remember.

You see, your majesty, as your humble servant I would like to make a petition!

*Kazuya bows to the shadow*

There's a really terrible fiend killing Jack Frosts! He has a sword and attacks with fire!
That's why I would liek to ask you for some Magnetite, I cannot battle that terrible beast without it, and if you help, you won't need to step right in!

WHO HATH ENTERED MY DOMAIN?!

PREPARE FOR HAVOC TO BE WROUGHT UPON YOUR PLANE OF EXISTENCE

@REAL_MOTHMAN

Oh well this is...unexpected.

Hmm Magnetite eh? I haven't met anyone who asked for that in ages. Very well human I'll grant your request go forth and stop this fiend!*King frost maxes out Kazuya's Magnetite then walks away*

I brought fajitas.

Damn Kazuya that was pretty good. Your way better at diplomacy then we ever were.

What did I miss?

Hey, it worked! Actually, it worked a little too well...

Impressive.

The shadows treated you like you were aquantince of theirs.

Thanks!!
*He gets up and looks at the group*
He gave me even more than I expected, alright, go and kill anything that moves now guys!
*Laughs*

I'm a little shocked.. Hmm guess they were just feeling generous?

OOC:Also I may or may not have wanted to get the fetch quest out of the way.

Usually our diplomacy involves pointing guns at downed shadows that try to kill us.

OOC: That's fine, I wanted that to hahaha

OOC: Sure?

Ahh so the hunt begins now. Alright I need to make a request first if you happen to find and materials from the shadows send them to me I want to research some of Mementos properties.

Can we start with that Mothman, then?

Well...you can be both friendly or threatening, I was lucky those shadow were friendly, it's hard to intimidate enemies

What is happening????

@3xcal1bur
we've headed into mementos in part to get Kazuya some of his magnetite, you want to join?

Ok you get the stuff then Cent. *Tatsuya drives down to the next floor and gets nearly jumped by a shadow slamming into it head on* Ah crap no ambush this time!

@Bgammax
Yeah!

Pile out of the bus! *dashes out, weapon out, mask on*

Well just a normal fight now.

I'll offer support I guess
*jumps out of the bus, notably behind everyone else*

*trumpeter appears before you*

BUS TIME BITCHES

I'll provided support to take them out guys!

*Types on his COMP and summons Cerberus*

Alright Cerberus, we'll attack if we have to!

*with his current Proficiency, Akira reacts before the shadow attack and leaps into battle* That was unexpected.

Crap, what's his weakness again?

Doesn't have one Yuki! This He reflects light and elec drains ice blocks dark and resists gun though.

His resistances are unknown, let's try everything, guys

It uses Curse skills, i think? so maybe Bless would work?

A massive tidal wave of magic, probably.

I don't think they have one

*The Trumpeter casts Mafreidyne*

Trumpeter doesn't have a weakness, but don't attack with ice, electric, bless or curse attacks!

Well time to hit him with almighty. Messiah Picaro! Megidolaon!!

Now come on Apollo burn this thing down! *A wave of nuclear fire washes over it*

Ah Crap you guys ok!

*Throws a Flask that increases everyone's defence.

Watch out he knows some serious magic!

*is hit by Mafreidyne, but it's not a weakness so it just hurts. And burns. And possibly is cancerous.*

Come, Raffles! Psiodyne!

*Cerberus attacks with Megaton Raid*

Alright, severe damage!

*It falls dead under the combined assault*

*casts salvation*

OOC:I would of done more but RL calls.

OOC: Man, I picked a bad time to do this and play P5

Holy Crap is it normal to see some shadow like that?

*Dodges the mafreidyne, with pure luck and summons Seth for an agidyne*

OOC: I'll be on later if you guys want to pick it up then.

OOC: Sure

Those are pretty high tier demons in my universe, but they don't appear to be as strong here

Tatsuya, you look tired! I think someone else should take the wheel for now...

OOC: Alright

OOC: We'll be waiting.

I'm pretty sure that it only died cause we're crazy strong. And yeah I'm heading out for now. Barely got sleep last night cause of the fights.

Well I'm back now so if anyone wants to head back in let me know.

looks like a tournament is going to start soon, probably a good idea to rest and prepare instead
