World of Darkness: We Interrupt This Message to Bring You Your Demise

OOC: So I have decided to only make this semi related to the infection plot as to not intimidate people from this thread. The basic idea is that Nyarly or as he is better know, the Crawling Chaos has created a world of his own within the Nexus known as the world of Darkness *Cough* The name of the thread *Cough* The world of Darkness is a world made up of the nagtivity at the root of people hearts as well as the human subconscious, so expect this thread to be abstract at times. Anyway this will be using my usual narrative gming style that involves adding more description to your attack to deal with enemies more quickly. If narrative fighting isn't your thing then you might not have fun with this but I hope people will give this a chance regardless.

*It's a cloudy day in the city of Shibuya, a subtle breeze can be felt as the sun begins to set in the distance. Though as most days go within this wild mock up of the city of Shibuya, things do not stay peaceful. The ground begins to shake and in the middle of the city a TV tower rises up appearing to be made of a pure black metallic substance. Once it rises all the way up a dark aura appears to fill the air and this cloudy day has now become completely overcast.*

Rom_Dolos

*Stumbles into area*
W-what?! *Looks at smartphone* Oh jeez, the energy readings are off the charts!

Ace_Defective

*Junpei is walking down a street when he notices a dark tower in the distance

No way... is that Tarterus?

*Junpei checks his watch and it still works

Let's hope that it isn't what I think it is...

*Junpei then starts to run towards the tower

Bgammax

*Gamma is waking by, staring at the sky as though looking for something... At least until the darkness brings them to their senses*

Wait... Wha.... Ok, whoever's doing this is going down. The hard way.

Rom_Dolos

*Takes out notebook and writes about the tower*

imtherealklib

*Kalib whistles as he walks the streets of Shibuya, pausing as the sky grows dark.*

What the hell?

*Upon further inspection he notices the large tower. With a sigh he begins his march towards it.*

Persona

*As the group arrives at the base of the tower the air begins growing colder. At the tower's base, there are shadowy roots ingrained into the ground and a strangely twisted black door. The door looks as if it was hastily crafted almost as if someone made it at the last minute.*

Mishimans

*He laughs as notices the conditions in Shibuya*

Now I have something new to tell the phantom thieves.

*He taps away at his phone with an eerie smile on his face*

naby

hmmm lets break down this door

imtherealklib

*Kalib shivers at the change in temperature. However, he pulls himself together as he notices the door.*

Black this, black that...geez...try some color for once...

*Kalib sighs as he moves towards the door, cautiously opening it.*

Rom_Dolos

*He catches a glimpse of the door after closing his notebook. He then notices the others*
Oh, hello...

Persona

*As the door is pulled open all that can be seen on the other side is a dark room.*

Mishimans

*He barely notices the cold as he moves up to the door*

Huh what is this?

*He still does not look up from his phone*

I guess as the best manager it is part of my job to get rid of any obstacles.

Rom_Dolos

*He then walks slowly towards the door, putting his guard up a bit*

naby

*takes out my huge sword and enters the room*

my name is naby by the way

imtherealklib

*Peering into the room, he remembers the group behind him and turns around.*

Careful everyone! Don't let your guard down....especially once inside! Most of you should know this already, but, better safe than sorry!

*Kalib turns back to the dark room and enters slowly, allowing his eyes to adjust to the darkness. He scans the room as soon as his eyes are adjusted.*

Bgammax

*Gamma yawns as he walks into the room. He doesn't pay much attention to the cold or dark, but keeps one hand on the staff strapped to his back, just in case*

Rom_Dolos

*enters the room with his right hand behind his back, gripping his lance tightly, slightly trembling*

Ace_Defective

This reminds me too much of that tower...

*Junpei follows the party

Mishimans

*He enters the room and his face is lit up by the phone*

*He rolls his eyes*

Great cause everyone loves the dark .. right?

Honestly people are just not creative these days.

Persona

*As the group enters the room, the door behind them twists and turns until it breaks to pieces. The door lays empty except for a single button with a power icon on the wall.*

naby

*press the power button*

Persona

*A light hum can be heard in the back of the room before the walls and floors of the room burst into static. The room seems to extend forward to reveal a surprisingly human-looking girl. She is silently humming to herself, somehow the humming can be heard over the static.*

Ace_Defective

Well that isn't ominous...

imtherealklib

*Kalib doesn't have time to speak before Naby presses the button.*

I....okay....I guess we can just do that.

naby

you can say that again

Mishimans

*He gazes at the girl with annoyance*

You people can deal with her.

*He taps on his phone*

I have better things to do right about now.

Emerson

*Em taps Kalib on the shoulder.*

So, what's the deal this time? What's with the tower?

imtherealklib

*Kalib sighs at Mishi's remark before approaching the girl.*

Hello. Can you see us? Or hear us for that matter?

naby

*puts away my sword and takes out my revolvers*

imtherealklib

*Kalib jumps and turns to Em, stifling a scream.*

Again...why....why do people sneak up behind me?

*He calms himself.*

I've no clue Em, I just saw something was up and decided to investigate.

Persona

*The girl turns around to face Klib.*

Oh, visitors?

*Upon revealing her face she is strangely beautiful almost to an unnatural extent.*

Mishimans

*He notices the sigh and ignores it in favor of checking his phone*

Rom_Dolos

*Walks up to the girl with a confused look on his face*
Um... Hello. Nice to meet you.

naby

*thinks "ok.. that is strangely beautiful face"*

imtherealklib

*Upon hearing the girls voice he turns back, stunned by the image before him.*

I---uh-um...y-yes! Visitors! Yes!

Bgammax

*Gamma yawns and walks towards the girl, clearly uninterested*

Yeah, we're new here. Anything you think you can tell me about this place?

Ace_Defective

Who are you? And what are you doing in this tower.

Mishimans

*He laughs*

Sure visitors lets go with that.

Persona

*The girl looks at the group with a look of joy as she giggles.*

Mysterious Girl: It's been so long since I've seen these many people. I'm Chisato Kasai.

Emerson

Er, so, what exactly are you doing in this tower?

Persona

OOC: This is what she's supposed to look like for reference. Click to load png image (size - 21 kb)

Ace_Defective

The names Junpei Iori. However you didnt answer my question!

*Junpei keeps his distance with his baseball bat at the ready

Bgammax

*Gamma rolls his eyes as he speaks*

Sorry to cut the chat short, but I'd really like to know what's going on here. Why the sky's weird now. Can you help me with anything about this place Chisato? Or do I just need to move on?

Persona

*The girl looks innocently at Em.*

Chisato: Well I'm here to get my wish granted of course. Didn't you hear that there was a man in this tower with the power to grant people's wishes?

naby

im naby... the cowboy from the past

imtherealklib

*Kalib composes himself, and awaits the girl's answer.*

naby

and no

imtherealklib

*He pauses for a moment.*

A man that grants wishes?

Rom_Dolos

A man who can grant wishes? This is getting interesting...

Mishimans

*He grows interested in what the girl says*

Can this man really grant any wish?

Emerson

I can think of two people who fit that description, so I really don't have a conclusion to make.

Persona

*The girl's eyes darken.*

Chisato: Yeah, I already got my wish granted.

imtherealklib

*Kalib looks at the girl cautiously, as he approaches.*

So what was your wish then, Chisato?

Rom_Dolos

*Rom's right hand trembles a bit more*
Which is?

Ace_Defective

Granting wishes....

*Junpei readies his baseball bat

This is way to familiar to Tarterus!

naby

i think this is going to be a boss fight

Persona

Chisato: I wanted to be eternally beautiful...

*Black spots begin forming on her face.*

Persona

OOC: Image was way smaller than I would have licked.

Bgammax

*Gamma yawns as they step away from the girl*

Ah yes, evil demon eyes. Totally a sign of someone trustworthy. I'm willing to guess the new kid with the cowboy hat is right on this one.

Persona

*Liked

Rom_Dolos

This is not good...
*Steps back and prepares his lance*

imtherealklib

*Kalib grimaces at the display before him and stops walking towards the girl.*

And how did that turn out for you Chisato? Are you satisfied with the results?

Emerson

*Em covers his eyes and puts up a hard light barrier around himself.*

Ok, nope, I am not looking at that. I can handle a lot of shit, but not that.

Migrant

*Sounds of dying.... something... intensifies.....*

*A black door appears and Migrant comes running out of it! Fancy new rapier in hand and.... somewhat embarassing new thief outfit on. Click to load png image (size - 771 kb) *

*She quickly slams the door as it vanishes.*

Never. Try to travel. Through darkness. Alone. *she pants*

Mishimans

*He spastically laughs*

Well crap wishes do bring about crap results.

If you were a bit smarter then maybe things would have turned out better for you.

Rom_Dolos

*Turns to @Migrant*
Just in time

Ace_Defective

Woah who are you? What's going on?

*Junpei seems unusually tense

naby

*hardens my grip with my two revolvers*

Persona

*Her voice becomes distorted.*

Chisato: Why don't I show you how beautiful I am now.

*She turns around and pulls her hair apart to reveal a dark smiling face.*

*The face's eyes shine at Klib attempting to turn him to stone.*

Persona

**Battle start**

Migrant

So what's up here, anyway, this doesn't look like OH GOD WHO IS SHE!?

naby

*shoots the monster*

Rom_Dolos

Holy Medusa what the hell just happened?!

Emerson

*With his hand still covering his eyes, Em's hard light barrier shatters around him, and the broken pieces fly directly at Chisato.*

Dunno what she's doing, but I don't like it.

Rom_Dolos

Come, Dolos!
*Casts pulinpa on the monster to confuse it*

Ace_Defective

I knew something was off! Towers are never good!

*Junpei back flips and starts charging energy into his hands

Luckily I learnt this awesome new skill! You wont survive this!

Bgammax

*Gamma waves to Mig as they take the staff off their back*

Nice timing. We're just about to start hitting things. Speaking of which. Shiranui, Diamond Dust.
*Gamma's persona flickers to life near him, forming the image of an eastern dragon made of light blue flame. The dragon roars, bringing 4 spears of ice into form around it and launching them at Chisato, the ice spreading a few inches from anything they hit*

Migrant

Oh, a medusa, huh?

That one requires eye contact, right?

*a card appears in front of Mig, which she crushes in her hand*

Okuninushi! Kouga!

*Her sub persona manifests behind her, and with a grab from his bag an orb of light appears and races across the field toward the "Medusa." Beware, direct sight may cause you to see glowing dots for the next few minutes.*

Mishimans

*He pulls out both hits knives*

*Then he goes in for a slash at Chisato*

Beasts like you don't deserve to be touched by the phantom thieves!

*He smirks*

imtherealklib

*Kalib shouts to the others.*

DON'T LOOK AT HER!

*He tries to move but his legs have already turned to stone.*

Leonidas, do something about that chick! BRAVE BLADE! Take out the back of her head!

*The spectral spartan appears behind Kalib with a roar before he launches towards Chisato, avoiding her stare. As he gets close enough to strike, he attempts to slash at the face using his spear, primarily aiming for the eyes.*

Persona

**End of Player Turn**

Persona

*Naby shoots at Chisato, the bullets seem to knock her back hitting hard.*

*Em's light flies at Chisato but the light is nulled by the dark face.*

*Rom tries to confuse Chisato be it seems like it was only a little effective.*

*Junpei begins charging an attack.*

*Mig throws a light bomb at Chisato but it seems as if it was ineffective.*

*Mishimans attacks Chisato with the knives cutting through her as she stumbles back from the strike but it seems to have only done moderate damage to her.*

*Klib sends Leonidas to attack with the brave blade but Chisato looks up and pulls out a shadowy whip to grab onto the spear and attempt to pull it from Leonidas' hands.*

*Chisato pulls out a second whip and spins it around attempting to hit everyone with a barrage of whip strikes.*

Persona

**Player turn**

naby

! *takes out a sword and trys to cut the whips*

Emerson

*Em finally opens his eyes to see a whip flying at his face, which he promptly gets struck by.*

Ah... damn, prolly shoulda taken this more seriously...

*Em pulls out an assault rifle from his back.*

Eat lead, shit face!

*Em begins firing regular bullets at Chisato.*

Bgammax

*Gamma attempts to block the whip strikes with his staff, but they simply strike the staff and bend around it, hitting Gamma anyways, and forcing him to step back*

Lets see how you like this one. Shiranui, Deathbound.

*A wave of force pulses out from Gamma striking at Chisato. (Medium phys 1-2x)*

Migrant

Kalib!

*she calls out to Kalib, as if he didn't know he was turning to stone or something, and ends up taking a whip to the chest, sliding her back slightly. Since she has no option for healing status effects so she goes for option 2.*

Okuninushi! Garudyne!

*The gust of wind is directed and with one singular focus. Damage is secondary, she's just trying to ensure that Chisato looks away from Kalib by force.*

Ace_Defective

Aright! Its time to play ball!

*Junpei summons Trismegetus and gathers all the energy that has been charged into his hand, adding on more and more energy in the form of Agidyne before creating a ball of firey energy

Here! Catch!

*Junpei than throws the ball of energy into the air and slams into it with his baseball bat, throwing the ball of energy straight into the medusa dealing light physical damage before exploding in a fireball engulfing Medusa

Mishimans

*He manages to stave off a few whip strikes with his remaining knife*

*But the rest hit him causing angry red lash marks to appear on his skin*

*He grows even more annoyed at this*

Did you really have to get me on the arms?

*He sighs*

These arms are worth more then you hun since the phantom thieves are worth more then you.

Looks like a certain nuisance needs to be punished.

But first ...

*He runs towards Chisato as if going in for another slash but instead he shifts to her side to retrieve his knife*

Rom_Dolos

Think, think think!
*Rom attempts to latch onto the whip with his lance to pin it to the ground*

Rom_Dolos

*Before his attempt, he was struck twice by the whip on the leg, and recovered slightly*

Ace_Defective

(Junpei takes the swings forgot about that sorry!)

imtherealklib

*Still immobilized by the stone on his legs, Kalib takes the whip damage and grins.*

Please. You're gonna need to try harder than that! Leonidas! Follow up Mig's attack, hit 'em with an Inferno!

*With a mighty roar the spartan appears again at Kalib's side. Suddenly, beneath Chisato a pool of fire roars to life and attempts to engulf her fully. The winds from Garudyne stoking the flames more and more.*

Take that!

*The stone begins creeping further up Kalib's body.*

Persona

**End of Player Turn**

*Naby fails to cut the whip but deflects it from hitting him.*

*Em shoots at Chisato dealing significant amount of damage to her.*

*Gamma sends a wave of deathbound out at Chisato knocking her back but she simple regains her balance.*

*The gust of wind hits Chisato and although damage was only secondary it ends up knocking her down onto the ground.*

Chisato: You're going to ruin my hair!

*Junpie hits the firey ball into Chisato while she's knocked down but it only deals minimal damage*

*Mishiman's regains his knife.*

*Rom latches onto the whip with his lance and pulls it away from Chisato.*

*Klib engulfs Chisato in a raging inferno but it only deals minimal damage.*

*Chisato was knocked down by Migrant! AOA?*

Emerson

Heh, oh, this oughtta be fun! Can I have the first blow? Pretty please!

>Yes

Migrant

Kill this thing! For Kalib!

>Yes

Bgammax

*Gamma steps forward with a sigh*

Lets get this over with?

AOA
>Yes

naby

AOA
>YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Mishimans

*He twirls both knives*

I wonder if I could do this better the Akira ...

*He smirks*

Hmph time to try!

>Yes

Rom_Dolos

*Pants for a second and grins menacingly*
Alright, let's do it!

>Yes

imtherealklib

*Kalib smirks.*

Leo! Take my place! Make it showy!

*With a roar the spartan is ready to attack again.*

>Yes

Persona

*Alright, Migrant's AOA so describe what the party does!*

Ace_Defective

Nows our chance! Lets get em!

>yes

Migrant

*Migrant nods and leads the group into the fray! Dramatic slow motion and probably some dramatic music. The group kicking up an almost comedic cloud of dust in the scuffle. As sword, and rapier, and giant spartan spear (is that even allowed) rain down upon the poor Not-Medusa. Kalib probably even cheers them on or something. And Gamma doesn't even explode or anything. And Junpei runs in late for some extra hits as well. After thoroughly beating it to a pulp, Mig punctuates the attack with a great leaping vertical slash.... hoping the creature splits in half or something.*

Persona

*Chisato's form begins to become dark and shadowy before splitting in half.*

Fake Chisato: No...but...I was supposed to guard the back door...

*The shadow melts away into a pile of sludge as a door appears within the static.*

Rom_Dolos

(I think you forgot me but ok)

Ace_Defective

Alright! Whos da man!

naby

! *runs to the door*

Bgammax

*Gamma sighs as he watches the others fight*

You know what.... I think you guys can handle this. Have fun on your little quest.

Emerson

OOC: Not everyone got mentioned, Rom. Including me, and I'm "certainly" not salty about it.

Well, that's that.
Wait, back door? So, this is the rear entrance, not even the front one.
Geez, what a pain... Can't even bother to find the right door...

Rom_Dolos

*Rom sighs as he notices the door.*
Did we do it already?
*Slowly walks towards the door, not letting his guard down*

Migrant

(Unfortunantly I didn't know everyone's weapon, which is why I was kinda vague. We really should get a publicly-accessed list of documents. Like a wiki or something.... :P )

*Spins her rapier in front of her for a bit.*

Don't ever mess with Kalib again, got it?

*looks over to see if Kalib is saved or not*

Mishimans

*He looks dissapointed*

Wait that was it!?

I thought the phantom thieves did much more then this!

*His yellow eyes glow brighter*

I might as well do the job for them at this point.

Rom_Dolos

(Don't worry, man. No salt involved)

Ace_Defective

We got time! Lets get ready to roll!

imtherealklib

*Kalib chips away the stone from his legs with the help of Leonidas before joining the group by the door. Stumbling slightly as he walks.*

Way to go guys! You made that look easy!

*Kalib puts a hand on Em's shoulder.*

How about a scan before we enter the next door, hm?

Migrant

*Grins seeing Kalib chip his legs free.*

Alright.... also, you okay, Mishimans?

Ace_Defective

*Junpei gets ptsd from Fuuka before turning to Emerson

You not going to yell at us about how many shadows there are and be overly cautious right? RIGHT?

Mishimans

*He offer Migrant a wide grin*

The name is Mishima.

*He quickly checks his phone*

I'm just annoyed at the weakness of my subordinates.

Emerson

Er, thats not my thing, cap guy. I tend to go fight those shadows myself rather than worry about you guys fightin' them.
Anyways, good idea Kalib.

*Em summons Saul around himself, and scans through the door for energy signatures in the next room.*

Kazuya

*The young man walks through a black door that dissapears upon exiting, standing behind everyone. With a tired expression he waves at them.*

Hello guys, I hope none of you died.

Persona

*No matter how Em tries to scan the other side of the room, all they can feel is a jumble of chaos and disorder.*

Migrant

Huh? Oh, hey Kaz.

Nah, only thing is Kalib nearly ended up getting a statue made in his memory.

naby

... *enters the room*

Emerson

*Em unsummons Saul, and prepares to open the door.*

This place is too crazy. I can't get any readings...

*Em opens the door, gun in hand.*

Mishimans

*He laughs a bit at Kaz's comment*

As if the phantom thieves manager would die like this.

imtherealklib

*He blinks.*

I already have one statue...I don't need another.

*Kalib follows behind Em ready for anything.*

Ace_Defective

The names Junpei Iori by the way! We should check out that door!

Persona

*Upon entering the door, Naby disappears into the light behind it.*

Rom_Dolos

Oh jeez...
*Rom follows the rest of the group, lance in hand, gripped tightly.*

Migrant

Probably....

*heads over by the door and peeks inside*

Rom_Dolos

Wait... what happened to Naby?

Mishimans

*He sighs*

Well I don't have anymore time to waste around here.

*He walks through the door*

Ace_Defective

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

*Junpei walks into dooe

Persona

*Mishimans disappears into the light beyond the door as well.*

Kazuya

*He shrugs with a slight smile.*

So many diferent things, so little time.

*Without much interest he head over by the door and enteres the room*

See you all on the other say, and don't let Kalib kill himself.

Rom_Dolos

Oh, i see... guess I was just panicking...
*Walks through the door*

imtherealklib

*Kalib sighs as person after person disappears into the light.*

Welp...Allons-y!

*Kalib steps through the doorway.*

Migrant

Well I guess we don't have much of a choice. Think the light means it's actually a nice party or something? *enters into the light beyond the door*

Emerson

S'at everyone? Well, here I go.

*Em enters the light.*

Persona

*As the party walks into the door, their sense of self begins to slip away as a scene appears before them. The scene is a hospital were medical professionals perform surgery on shadows. Different people with obscured faces are shown before a title card appears: "Shadow Emergency Center". Dramatic music plays in the background before the party finds themselves waking up in a white room with a giant TV screen. The TV screen has text on it: "Voulenteer Four".*

Ace_Defective

I swear this is Tarterus written all over it... so what do we do now?

imtherealklib

*Kalib shakes his head.*

The hell?

*He staggers over to the TV.*

"Volunteer Four"? What's going on here?

Migrant

.... A TV set... that's what we're on right now, isn't it?

Emerson

*Em looks down to his hands, confused by their existance, before staring intently into the TV.*

Ace_Defective

Do we send 4 people into the TV? I think Yu did it before right? The TV world?

Persona

*A voice Klib recognizes speaks.*

???: They don't know you're here yet...Don't give yourself away...Just send four people in here.

Kazuya

*Kazuya stretches his body as he turns to the TV screen.*

Never simple, I see.

Rom_Dolos

*Rom blinks several times to adjust to the light*

Shadow Emergency Center? What are they volunteering for?

*Watches the TV while taking out his notebook*

Mishimans

*His eyes turn a deep yellow as he shakes his head*

W-What is even going on?

*Shadowy smoke begins to come off his body*

*He has to look at his phone to refocus*

I was never warned about something like this.

naby

*walks to the tv and puts my hand on it*

Kazuya

*Kazuya raises his hand.*

Let's get this over with, I volunteer for whatever the hell we gotta do.

imtherealklib

*Kalib nods at the voice's request before turning to his party.*

Alright, this is going to sound crazy...but Junpei was right.

Ace_Defective

Alright! I volunteer as well! Im sure it'll be fine!

Migrant

Yeah I'm passing on going in there.

This screams suspicious.

Emerson

K-knock yourself out...

*Em looks totally out of it.*

Persona

*Naby's hand goes into the TV screen.*

???: Then just jump into the TV...like old times...

Mishimans

*He shakily raises a hand*

I volunteer as long as it gets us out of here.

*His body is trembling*

naby

oh.. its person 4 time *goses into the tv*

Migrant

Yo Em, you okay? Wanna go check this place out? See if we can find the man behind the curtain, as it were?

naby

OOC: i forgot the a in persona 4 XD

imtherealklib

*Kalib reluctantly walks over to the TV.*

And with me, that makes four.

*He reaches out to the TV.*

Kazuya

*Kazuya smiles widely and, for some reason, appears to be somewhat excited.*

Alright everyone, lights...camera...!

*He races at the TV and jumps into it with a confident smile on his face.*

Action!

Persona

*Nabby and Klib enter the TV to make 2. 2 spots left.*

Persona

*Kazuya enters. 1 spot left.*

Mishimans

*He runs over to the tv in desperation*

*The shadowy smoke continues to pour out of him*

Please take me away from this place!

*He reaches to the tv with a trembling hand*

Emerson

... Huh?

*Em slowly turns to Migrant, looking confused.*

M... Migrant? You are... Migrant...
Man..? Curtain..?

Ace_Defective

Alright! Lets get to it and beat some shadows!

*Junpei jumps into the TV after swinging his bat

Ace_Defective

*Junpei hits the TV accidentally

Ow! What gives?

Migrant

Earth to Em. *claps right in his face*

Wake up!

Rom_Dolos

*Turns to Junpei*
You okay?

Persona

???: Sorry, only 4 for this show are needed...

*Suddenly the TV screen shifts into static before focusing in on a hospital room.*

Ace_Defective

Its going to take alot more than a TV to bring me down!

*Junpei steps back before charging into the TV screen, however he trips and vaults over the TV hitting a wall head on

Ah! On second thought maybe it will take a TV screen to stop me.

Migrant

Junpei, calm down.

I think while they're playing along to Nyarly's game we should take a look around.

Emerson

Em snaps back to life as Migrant claps.*

Ah no I can't do anything Saturday Anna and I are going out!
Oh, Migrant, it's just you...
You need something?

imtherealklib

*Kalib looks around to make sure the others are okay before turning his attention to the room they landed in.*

You guys alright?

Persona

*Suddenly on the TV four doctors can be seen operating on a shadowy figure.*

*Nabby, Klib, and Kazuya can be seen in doctor's garb while Mishimans is dressed as a nurse.*

Migrant

No, you were just acting odd is all.

So here's the low down for you. Four of us just went in that TV, as far as I can tell Nyarly probably wants us to watch them and die of boredom.

Rom_Dolos

*Offers his hand to pick up Junpei while holding in a chuckle*
Don't overdo it.

*Watches the TV closely and grabs the pencil from his ear*

Ace_Defective

Not boredom! My one weakness! Well except for wind of course.

Emerson

Oh. Well, that sounds... normal, actually.
So, was there anything else you wanted?

Persona

*A strange voice can be heard shouting orders at them.*

Director: Alright, in this scene I want you all to perform a heart transplant on the shadow. We need some drama in this scene so act like you all have no idea what you're doing!

*Medical supplies appear on the counter next to the shadow laying down.*

**Operation start**

Ace_Defective

*Junpei takes the hand and gets up

Thanks! You da man!

Migrant

*Takes stock once again of the room that Mig, Junpei, Em, and Rom are in... any doors?*

imtherealklib

*Kalib smirks and stands at the side of the operating table, adjusting his gloves.*

Showtime I guess.

Kazuya

*He chuckles at the entire situation.*

Think we'll have that typical soap opera organ song?

*He then takes a look at the supplies, and with a quick hand gesture pointing at said supplies, he takes a step back.*

Please guys, go ahead, I'll cheer you on.

naby

*slams my hands on the table and starts yelling*

WE GOT TO GIVE THIS... thing... I NEW BLOOD HEART!!! HAND ME SOMETHING SO I CAN CUT THIS THING!!

Mishimans

*He closes his eyes for a second to reorient himself*

*And when he opens them up he is met with medical garb*

Okay what is with those outfits?

I thought this was a killing mission not some sort of lame cosplay group.

*He tries to look at the voice*

I hate to admit it but I really have no idea what i'm doing.

naby

sorry i always wanted to say that

Persona

OOC: Thank you Naby. That was perfect.

**End of Doctor Turn**

imtherealklib

*Kalib laughs at Naby's antics.*

That's fine, but first you should put the patient under general anesthesia...last thing we want is to make this harder on ourselves.

Rom_Dolos

So... they're acting as surgeons? They better invite me to the release party. Joking aside, I don't see any doors. *Takes note of situation* Maybe another scan might help?

(RPing in an RP. How meta)

Emerson

Eh, I can try, but this place is so crazy...
It's hard to get any readings.

*Em tries to summon Saul and scan room.*

Persona

*Mig finds no doors in the room, there is a few white couches and a potted plant with purple leaves.*

*Klib adjusts his gloves*

*Kazuya sees that there are instruments for cutting and prodding as well as a cooler on the table.*

*Naby starts slamming his hand on a table.*

*Mishimans complains.*

Director: Don't know what you're doing? That's perfect! Keep up the good work Mishy baby!

Migrant

.... Hey, anyone feel like some demolition?

*her card appears*

Because I sure am bored of sitting out here already. Maybe if we mess enough stuff up some Shadows will show up.

Ace_Defective

Alright! Blowing stuff up! My speciality!

*Junpei charges up fiery rasengans and fires them at the wall

Gotta go down eventually!

Migrant

*Summons Okuninushi and starts a whirlwind in the room!*

Emerson

Cool it, guys! You're making the scanning take even longer!

Rom_Dolos

Whoa! Let's not make any rash decisions yet.
*Sits on a couch at a reasonable distance from the whirlwind and tries to finish his sketch*

Emerson

Yo, you sketch, Rom? Lemme see!

*Em is stuck inside Saul, and cannot move.*

Mishimans

*Disgust forms on his face after hearing the nickname*

I am the manager of the phantom thieves not some cheap hoe!

*He grabs a scalpel from the table and heads to the patient*

I have better things to do then deal with an idiotic voice.

Emergency surgery coming in!

*He makes it to the patient but his face pales*

W-What is this ...?

*He looks at his own hand*

We aren't supposed to need surgery ...

Rom_Dolos

You may recognize this, Em.
*Shows an almost finished sketch of Crescent Rose*
I saw it at the tournament, and it looked cool.

Kazuya

For a shadow you look as cute as Kalib looked as a girl, Mishi.

*He walks up to the shadow and slaps it on the face*

Hey, you awake? If you're awake say something because I would prefer it if we open you while you're not looking.

naby

*looks at the patient*

WHO IS THIS!!... IS THIS THE PERSON WHO KILLED MY TOO MANY TO COUNT GRAND GRANDAUGHTER!!!!.. IF IT IS!!!! IM KILLING HIM!!!

Emerson

O~oh, nice!
I've got a few sketches of it myself. It's just a really nice looking weapon.

Persona

**End of Doctor turn**

imtherealklib

*Kalib approaches the counter and also grabs a scalpel. He moves back to the patient, twirling the blade as he looks at Mishi with concern in his eyes.*

Damn, are you okay Mish? You can leave it to us if you need to...I know this is probably not something you'd want to see...

Tatsuya

*A door made of darkness appears in the room and a shadowy figure steps out... Or just Tatsu actually*
Ugh more Nyarly stuff, what the hell did he pull this time?

Rom_Dolos

Yeah, I just love the appearance of huntsman's weapons, mainly since they are also guns.
*Starts to add finishing touches to the drawing while listening to the TV*
Naby is really into this...

Rom_Dolos

*Notices Tatsuya*
Oh, hello...

Ace_Defective

Yo! Im Junpei Iori! Your looking pretty cool!

Tatsuya

*waves at Rom*
Yo there... Rom right?

*Turns to Mig*
The hell you doing over there?

Persona

*Em attempts to scan the room and notices that the walls are hollow.*

*Junpei hits the wall with a firey baseball and it begins to crack.*

*Mig summons a whirlwind that causes the objects within the room to fly around wildly hitting the walls and cracking them.*

*Rom sketches. +1 creativity*

*Mishimans tries to perform surgery but hesitates for some reason.*

Director: Nice work! I love it!

*Kaz tries slapping the shadow awake, it moans in response.*

*Naby begins yelling at the shadow. +1 Doctoring*

Director: Now that's drama!

???: Uh, guy's. calm down...He'll notice you if you keep doing that...

Emerson

I have a really clean sketch of Ember Celica, Yang's weapon. Its a pretty simple design, but hot damn is it effective.

Rom_Dolos

*Looks at Tatsuya, slightly surprised*
Yep, that's me.

Mishimans

*He nervously laughs*

I'm fine Kalib.

It's just that iI don't see shadows needing surgery everyday.

*His eyes gleam*

What kind of manager would I be if I could not handle a bit of mortality?

Rom_Dolos

(Hell yeah! Gimme the stat boosts!)

Emerson

Wait... so then...

*Em unsummons Saul, and immediately dashes shoulder first into a wall.*

Tatsuya

Junpei Iori huh. Yeah one of Yuki's people. Tatsuya Suou I suddenly realized you might not know that, *he laughs* well if you're in deep with the supernatural you might know me by reputation I guess.

Migrant

*Grins*

I hope he does! Because I, for one, refuse to go unnoticed!

*slashes at a cracked part of the wall*

naby

*slaps the shadow and takes out a sword*
im cutting this shadow up!!
*cuts the shadow's belly to open it up*

Ace_Defective

Alright! Now lets try this! Persona!

*Junpei summons Trismegetus and he slams into the wall at high speeds, then Trismegetus hits the wall with a torret shot

Mishimans

*He takes a deep breath*

Well I know next to nothing about the medical field and I apparently don't know about my own kind either.

So here goes nothing!

*He plunges the scalpel into the shadow*

*His face immediately pales and his eyes twitch*

I-I hope I did this right.

Ace_Defective

Well its nice to meet ya! Im sure we'll be great friends!

Tatsuya

*sighs and shakes his head*
You two are being reckless ya know... Jeez when did I become the one not being reckless?

imtherealklib

*Kalib grins at Mish.*

So long as you're fine, that's good...but as soon as you aren't, speak up.

*Kalib's eyes go wide in shock as Naby slices open the Shadow's stomach.*

Hey...Naby...quick question...WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK THE HEART IS LOCATED!?

Tatsuya

Hmm great friends? I guess any friends of Yuki must be alright, *he smiles at Junpei* yeah I don't see any reason why not.

Kazuya

You know, I was about to apply anesthesia but uh...

*He puts gloves on, and applies anesthesia as fast as he can.*

HEART transplant, you just made an unnecessary wound uh...guy.
By the way, just making sure about this.

Ace_Defective

From what I've heard you like to kick some ass! I can get behind that! So your good in my books!

Persona

**End of Doctor Turn**

Rom_Dolos

*Finishes Crescent Rose sketch and opens a new page in his notebook. He then walks around the around the room, and recreating it on the paper.*

Rom_Dolos

*Including the layout if the couches and the tv, making potential paths from the hollow walls*

Rom_Dolos

Of*

Persona

*Em dashes into one wall and more cracks form on it.*

*Mig slashes at a cracked wall and a chunk of it begins to fall off.*

*Naby begins performing unnecessary surgery. +5 doctoring*

*Junpei slams into a wall with his Persona causing it to come crashing down.*

*Mish tries to perform surgery on the shadow by sticking a scalpel into it but is again discouraged.*

*Klib begins panicking.*

*Kazuya applies anesthesia to the patient*

Director: I love it good work everyone! This is gonna be a hit!

*The shadow squirms in pain until the anesthesia is applied.*

*Suddenly the walls collapse to reviel a bigger room with a doorway and staticky TVs.*

Tatsuya

Kick some ass huh? I'll admit I enjoy fighting but we both know that's not why we do this... *He grins* I got into this crap because I wanted to protect people from what they sure as hell won't defend themselves from.

Emerson

Better add that to the sketch, Rom.

*Em enters the hallway, and examines the TVs.*

naby

*uses my hand to go through shadow's body to grab it's heart and rips it out.. and is just doing a warrior scream while doing it*

Ace_Defective

I have the same motive! Those shadows are evil, and ill stop them from hurting anybody!

Migrant

So, let me guess, every one of these TVs was going to be shuffled in here for us to play in, huh? Keep us trapped forever? *starts walking toward the door, before reaching out and opening it*

Rom_Dolos

On it.

*Follows Em into the doorway, erases the walls, adds bigger ones and draws squares to indicate the TVs*

I knew there was more to this place...

Rom_Dolos

Maybe each TV has its own movie set to it...

Ace_Defective

Maybe we should smash em, save us allot of trouble!

Migrant

.... Nah, smashing them is likely the way we alert the person in charge to our presence.

Tatsuya

*He follows then through the door and examines the TVs*
Perhaps we should investigate before we attack? They don't appear to be a threat right now, so might as well look.

imtherealklib

JESUS CHRIST NABY!? WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU!?

*Kalib begins suturing any unnecessary damage done by the savage cowboy doctor.*

Can someone crack open his chest so we can get the new heart put in properly and not by reaching through this poor sod's entire body?

Kazuya

Oh my fucking...whatever.

*He opens the cooler, takes the new heart and forces it through the body of the shadow.*

Looks fine to me, I'm sure it'll live.

*After this, he just turns around and stands there.*

Oh lord, our poor patient will never be able to WALK now!!!

*He says in an overly dramatic voice.*

Rom_Dolos

*Rom reaches into one of the TVs*

Persona

**End of doctor turn**

Ace_Defective

Ill leave this to you guys! I don't want to mess anything up after all!

Persona

*Em notices a creeping darkness spreading over the static.*

*Naby reaches into the shadow and rips out his heart shouting like a warrior. +10 doctoring, doctor skill has leveled up to 2.*

*Migrant, Tatsuya, Emerson, Junpei, and Rom enter the hallway of TVs.*

*Klib accesses the body of the shadow still panicking.*

*Kazuya replaces the heart of the shadow and then plays up the drama.*

Director: And cut! Good work everyone, this will be a hit!

*The voice begins to distort as a mass of shadows in a director's attire comes out.*

Nyarly: Well done, but I have somewhere to be now.

*The shadowy mass melts away as a door with an Exit sign appears on the set.*

*The patient stands up and walk away as if nothing had happened.*

*As Rom reaches into the TV a shadowy tendril wraps around his arm and tries to drag him inside.*

Rom_Dolos

Agh! What the...
*Rom tries to pull away*
Help! This was a terrible idea!

Migrant

Rom, you fool! *turns away from the door, leaving it slightly ajar as she tries to grab onto Rom*

Everyone grab and pull!

imtherealklib

*Kalib takes off his gloves, not looking at anything but the exit sign.*

Time to go... Yay.

*Kalib approaches the door, looking slightly despondent.*

Emerson

Hey! Let go of him!

*Em tries to help Rom by pulling him away while also firing at the shadowy tendril.*

naby

*puts the heart in my hands into a box and takes the box and walks to the door*

Tatsuya

*He draws his blade in a blur as Hyperion Appears and light magic flows through him into the blade as it's teeth spin and slam into the shadow* Don't touch random TVs!

Ace_Defective

Ive got you!

*Junpei grabs onto Rom and pulls hard

Kazuya

See ya next week, same Kaz time, same Kaz station!

*He waves at a non-existent camera as he leaves through the exit*

Persona

*As everyone on the set leaves they end up falling back through the TV as end credits show up displaying all their names as well as Nyarly and the name Mimi.*

*Everyone pulls Rom away from the tendril and Tatsuya slices the Tendril away.*

Nyarly: Such a buzzkill as always...I just wanted to make a shadow out of them, is that so wrong?

Migrant

Yes, that really is so wrong. Now are we done here?

naby

*laughs*
THAT WAS SO FUN!!
*looks at where everyone is*

Ace_Defective

What! Who are you anyways? Nobody hurts my friend!

Rom_Dolos

*Falls to the ground and pants*
Thanks guys... Sorry if I blew our cover.

*Makes a giant note in his notebook: "Touching shady TVs = BAD"*

imtherealklib

*Kalib shudders as he dusts himself off upon falling out of the TV.*

There's a reason I wanted to go into engineering instead of medicine...

*Kalib looks around and notices the other group. He hops up to his feet and runs over to check on them.*

Kazuya

Mimi...?

*He shakes his head as he stands up and walks towards the rest of the group.*

I mean...not really Nyarly, but we would prefer it if you didn't, it would be an inconvenience.

Tatsuya

*he smirks and stows his blade*
Hmm I dunno old pal... I mean those shadows you made us were pretty useful actually, *he cheerfully shouts* thanks for protecting Apollo from darkness asshole!

*His face turns to a cold glare*
On the other hand though yes yes it is so wrong. I live to kill whatever joy you possess Nyarly.

Persona

*A shadowy figure with thousands of eyes shows up on the TV.*

Nyarly: Of course, I was before your time, Junpei. I am Nyarlathotep, the embodiment of all evil that exists in the hearts of everyone in the Nexus and you are all in my world now. Though, I'm curious, how did you all get here? This was supposed to be a sealed off area.

Emerson

Well, I think we've figured out this room now...
Ideas? Anyone? Where should we go from here?

Stella_Grey

*Walks in from a dark portal*
?

Migrant

To be honest with you, I got so bored watching your stupid doctor show I decided to bust my own way out. Now are we done with these televisons? I imagine beyond that door there is your control room.

Emerson

Welp, that answers it?
Anyways, Nyarls, the rooms are like... right next to eachother.

Ace_Defective

We walked isn't that obvious? Your not very bright for an ancient evil!

Tatsuya

*he mimes a mouth flapping with his left hand*
Bla bla bla Nyarly, jeez your ego is still the size of a blimp I guess huh? Anyways he's not wrong about that Junpei, I got tons of history with him though.

naby

*aims my two revolvers at nyarly*

so you know who kill naho!

Persona

Nyarly: So, eager to end this are you? Go ahead, feel free to progress forward. It might not be as simple as you imagine it to be.

Migrant

As if. Besides, we have four pro actors here. They can just handle that while we bust out again.

*heads over to the door, kicks it open, and heads through*

imtherealklib

Nothing is ever simple with you Nyarly.

*Kalib shakes his head.*

Rom_Dolos

*Gets back up and follows the group, putting up his guard*

Tatsuya

*he smirks as he follows Mig out the door*
Actually Kalib one thing is very simple with ole Nar. Anything he's doing is evil and must be stopped. Super easy that bit.

Migrant

Yeah, shame nobody GOOD would make a place like this.

Could be fun.

Ace_Defective

Well my friend doesn't like you! Which means I don't like you either! Lets keep going everyone!

*Junpei walks up and opens the door

Kazuya

*Makes the "blah blah" hand gesture in complete silence.*

Emerson

Y'know, Tatsu, I think I don't mind that part beinf simple. Makes it easier to know who to castrate.

*Follows the group through the door.*

Persona

*Beyond the door lies a room with many monitors showing different sets. A man sits in a chair in the middle of the room.*

???: So, seems we have quite the gathering here.

naby

*shoots the tv and walks to the door*

Migrant

So you're the one reponsible for all that television nonsense?

What was your endgame? Make us forget everything in pursuit of fame?

*No Migrant, that's your OOC.*

imtherealklib

*Kalib follows Mig into the room and looks around before speaking.*

Yeah? What's it to you?

Ace_Defective

*Junpei imitates Nyarly

http://i.imgur.com/lx9ghTq.jpg

naby

*naby said nothing... maybe thanks to reambering naho's death*

Ace_Defective

Who are you! Explain yourself!

Rom_Dolos

*Rom enters the room, examining his surroundings without touching anything*

What do we have here?

Persona

??: Please, settle down. I don't know anything to be quite honest with you. This was all Nyarlathotep's plot after all. I don't know what they're plotting exactly.

Kazuya

*Follows the group through the door.*

imtherealklib

*Kalib approaches the man calmly.*

Then enlighten us with your name at least.

Migrant

Okay. Let's pretend that's true for a moment.

Will you just stand aside so we can deal with your boss?

naby

*still says nothing*

Tatsuya

You don't know his plots? *He stands and thinks for a moment* of course you don't... The hired help never does.

Stella_Grey

*looks around*

Tatsuya

I'm sure it's true Mig. Nyarlathotep isn't really big on giving out info to his pawns.

Emerson

Honestly, Nyarls' plots are pretty simple to explain. See, he wants to take us, and put is in hell. Simple enough?
