XVI ❝From the Barricade...❞

[pitiedthefool]

Who: Everyone!
Setting: Floor 93 - The Barricade
Format: Any
Summary: A general mingle log for anyone who wants to camp out in the safety of numbers. However, this doesn't mean it's completely safe... Feel free to guard the sleepers on the barricade if you so desire. Feel free to date threads from the 16th of June, onward!
Warnings: PG-13 for possible monster attacks. Please include detailed warnings in your threads for the more faint of heart.

Distant cries and screams echo in the eerie night. The sounds of fight with monsters, enemies, maybe even friends dim even with the faint light given by the faint flickering of the fires. One thing is sure, though... You are safe here behind the wood and other miscellaneous materials making up the barricade. Perhaps even a few strangers as well. ... Well, for now. 'Do you hear the people sing?'

[Day]
[Katsuya will spend most of his days in the barricade seeing if anyone is injured. While his Persona doesn't heal magically, he knows how to treat a wound... with proper materials available. It's going to be difficult to disinfect anything here.

Otherwise, he'll be pacing a lot.]

[Night]
[This, Katsuya is more skilled at. His Persona is at the ready, his gun is out, and by God he's going to make sure no oe gets hurt.]

[miseris_socios]

[It's night, Ken is tired, but he's got his Evoker at the ready and his spear in his other hand. He won't fall. He can't fall. He has people to protect, after all.]

[withak]

How are you holding up?

[Not that well, Katsuya suspects.]

[miseris_socios]

Fine. I need to be ready to help fight.

[withak]

Would you like to patrol with me?

[miseris_socios]

Sure. I can check to see if anyone's injured that way, too.

[withak]

Thanks. If I had other Personas with me that could heal, that would be useful... but I'm afraid Hyperion doesn't know how.

[miseris_socios]

[That startles Ken a little, and he looks up at Katsuya.]

You - what? ... Oh. Well. I only have Dike - having so many people who can switch Persona is weird. Only Minato could, and... well. Her.

[We don't talk about Minami. Or SEES in general. :| ]

[withak]

Where I'm from, all of us - our group of Persona-users - could use the Velvet Room to fuse Personas, but Hyperion is the one most attached to me. Did Minato talk about using something similar?

[Game mechanics :| series :|]

[miseris_socios]

He never talked about it, no.

[AUs :| ]

[withak]

Hm... well, I guess it might be a little hard to explain.

[miseris_socios]

Doesn't matter. Dike has light, electricity, and healing skills.

[withak]

That seems useful. I can't cover any of those myself.

[miseris_socios]

What do you cover, then?

[withak]

Fire, nuclear, and holy damage, as well as assistance with shots from my gun.

[miseris_socios]

No idea what nuclear damage is... is holy like light?

[Okay, they both have pierce attacks. That's good, right?]

[withak]

It's probably the same.

[miseris_socios]

[Nod nod.]

We should probably get going. Those monsters aren't going to kill themselves. Probably. I think.

[withak]

It'd be convenient, but just in case, we'd better start patrolling anyway.

[Katsuya will lead the way.]

[miseris_socios]

[Following along, keeping his spear out. At least he's managed to get some sleep with so many people around.]

[withak]

[Monsteeers are you gonna be in this thread

Katsuya doesn't have his gun out at the moment but a: he has nothing to point it at and b: with ammo being of limited supply he's learned to react faster with his Persona.]

[miseris_socios]

[There's a noise to their left, and Ken turns, but it's only someone fixing the barricade a bit. He tries to relax a little, but it's hard. He shakes his head and goes back to following Katsuya.]

[withak]

[He knows that feeling of paranoia, bro. But there isn't much to do about it now but keep walking.]

[miseris_socios]

[It's frustrating, but he keeps his mouth shut. He can't whine - he needs to be more of an adult right now, and anyway the monsters might hear him.]

[themonsters]

[The first sound audible is the scraping of sharp claws against the ground. A few moments later, a deliberate exhale that sounds like an airy giggle.

The yellow mask seems to float around in the dark as the monster sniffs the air.]
