A blue swan appears [OPEN]

[undie_boss]

Who: THE GREAT MICHEL and anyone ever
Location: Plaza
Time: afternoon
Style: whichever
Status: OPEN
Note: he probably smells like persona and wet hair gel

Eikichi woke up face-down on the pavement of the Plaza completely drenched. Son of a bitch. Now his clothes were all wet and his makeup was running. Dammit.

"Damn Philemon," he cursed, "Damn Nyarthwhatever," pushing himself to his feet then whipping out a hand mirror to fix his makeup. Looking bad was just out of the question. He had an appearance and a reputation to keep up, after all, since the world was still here.

And when he put away the mirror, that was when he noticed something was wrong. He stuck out like a sore thumb, tall and twiggy, with bright blue hair, eyeliner, and heavy jewelry. Eikichi glanced around at the place. It didn't look like anywhere in Sumaru, not that much of the place was left now. It could be another rumor running rampant, changing Sumaru into something like this, or someone's dreams coming to life, buuuuut this was kind of drastic.

"Okay everybody, someone tell me where I am and what the hell's going on?"

Comments

Hopefully brackets are okay? If not let me know I'm just lazy.

[angelphones]

[... Well. He had heard commotion on the network and headed out to the Plaza to see if anyone he recognized showed up, and then there was a guy on the ground and -]

[Well the first name doesn't sound familiar, but the second? Slightly familiar.]

Nyarlathotep, you mean?

[Oh wait more important questions.]

This place is called Vatheon.

That's fine with me :D

[undie_boss]

Yeah, that guy. [ Eikichi wasn't aware anyone outside the 5 members of the Masked Circle had known about him. ]

Are you a--- [ wait a sec. ] Vatheon? [ That didn't sound like anywhere in Sumaru or even Japan. ] What's a Vatheon?

Yaaay. /o/

[angelphones]

[He remembers that demon. He was pretty useful... :|a Anyway.]

It's an underwater city. You're kind of stuck here... sorry.

:3

[undie_boss]

[ He looks up. Oh holy hell. ]

ATLANTIS?!

[angelphones]

Uh... kind of, but not exactly. I don't think even Atlantis has this amount of weird stuff. There is an island up there that you can go to, but there's not really anywhere you can go from there.

[undie_boss]

[ with ancient aliens and Nazis invading modern Japan, Eikichi knows all about weird. He shakes his head and shrugs. ]

What makes this place so weird?

[angelphones]

For one, there's these 'curse' weeks that happen. One week had everyone telling the truth, another had us basically stuck in RPG classes. There was also the time that the kraken attacked.

[undie_boss]

That sounds like rumors coming true. [ great. not again. ] There's no Master Joker granting dreams, too, is there?

[angelphones]

Uh... if I knew who or what that is, I might be able to tell you. But I don't think so.

[tsundyne]

['Sup.

Just ninjaing over you as you wake up, cursing to the gods and what have you. She has no idea what or who you're talking about, of course, but that's okay. The reaction's rather mild, at least compared to some others she's seen--compared to even her own. Jeez--

How long's that been now?

Heh. She barely remembers, but that hardly matters now. She folds her arms.]

You might wanna calm down first.

[undie_boss]

[ He looks up. She reminds him of Ginko for a moment. He stands up and straightens out his jacket and hair. ]

Mind telling me where we are, babe?

[tsundyne]

[Just watching him as he does so. She may be holding a towel in her hand as well.]

Never call me that again and maybe I will.

[Holding it out for him now :|]

[undie_boss]

[ definitely like Ginko. He takes the towel with a grin and rubs his hair dry. ]

Tell me where we are and maybe I won't.

[ two could play at this game. ]

[tsundyne]

[Pffft. Fair enough.

Yukari folds her arms once he takes the towel, continuing to observe him.]

Vatheon. An underwater city— though I doubt the name means anything to you.

[Not now, anyway.]

[undie_boss]

Vatheon? [ well it didn't sound Maian. Didn't have enough hard-to-pronounce combinations of foreign letters.

--- wait what? ] Underwater? Like Atlantis?

[tsundyne]

Something like that, if you can believe it.

[She had trouble at first, too, especially upon seeing Minato again. But, well...she'd learned to accept it, sort of. And he would, too.]

You're certainly not dreaming or anything.

[undie_boss]

After what I've seen, this place ain't hard to believe, babe. As long as there aren't demons, Maia, Nazis, and guys from the sea of your soul fighting over humanity, we're good.

[ he laughed at how ridiculous all those things sounded together, but it was true. ]

[singsforsouls]

"It's called Vatheon." Naoya had missed the cursing of names, or he would likely have more interesting things to say. For now, however, he offered the newcomer a towel he had snagged from one of the Welcoming Committee booths.


"As for what's going on, that's something we'd all like to know." It was unhelpful, but there was no avoiding that truth.

[undie_boss]

Eikichi gratefully took the towel and rubbed his face, unfortunately losing all the makeup. Damn. He'd have to fix that later.

He looked up at the other. "Vatheon? Sounds like some place Philemon or that Crawling Chaos dick would create." He'd seen enough of those and he was none-too-pleased about it. He also failed to pronounce Nyarlathotep's name, nor did he particularly care to, so Nyar had just become dick or douchebag.

I apologize so much for the lateness.

[singsforsouls]

"Philemon?" The sudden mention of the masked man's name here startled Naoya. "You have met him?"

Even the other Persona users here had made no mention of him, even if at least one had been able to enter the Velvet Room.

all good :D

[undie_boss]

Eikichi blinked for a moment. "You know that butterfly guy?" So other people got dragged into his little games too. "He's sure a weird guy. Kinda helpful, mostly not. I'm gonna guess you can summon persona too, yeah?"

<3 <3

[singsforsouls]

"...that's right." Though he did not add more; who knew if he could trust this man or not? "Whose team are you a part of?"

That, at least, seemed to be universal. Persona users came in groups.

Re: <3 <3

[undie_boss]

"Team?" Eikichi blinked. "Can't say we really had a name for our team. Tatsuya was kind of the leader. Then there was Ginko, Jun, Maya, and Yukino-san for awhile.

Re: <3 <3

[singsforsouls]

Maya and Yukino. Naoya's shoulders relaxed upon hearing their names.

"I was part of Yukino's original team," he offered by way of explaination. "I believe Maya-san is still here, as well as several other groups of Persona users."

:3

[undie_boss]

"I've heard about that! Met a few too," Eikichi added. "Helped us out a lot." Wait. What? "M-maya? Here? Other persona users too?!" Wow this place did have its surprises.
