1st Song ☠ | Introduction

[deathboss]

Characters: Eikichi (Michel) and whatever poor sap would like to talk with him.
Setting: And floor, all the corridors, day and night, it's all up to you, he'll be running around.
Format: I started in prose, but you can pick a style, and I'll match it!
Summary: Eikichi finds himself in the tower and everything is terrible.
Warnings: Eikichi is a warning onto himself.

Victory had never been so bittersweet. After defeating the Great Father, finding out the entire thing had been a bet between Philemon and Nyarlathotep, the world destroyed and with Maya stuck by the spear ending her life, all that had remained was a chance giving to them to go back in time. However, they'd have to give up their memories their friendships of each other. Considering the fate of the world and their friend was at stake, it was a heavy price that Eikichi did not mind to give up willingly. After all, friendship was more powerful than the bonds of space and time, he thought and even if they had not met as children, he was certain they'd see each other one day again.

But now, here he was, inside a tower and a note that his world had been destroyed. No shit, it had been destroyed. Needless to say, Eikichi wasn't too pleased. Goddamnit, all of this, everything around him, a cruel joke, ALL FOR NOTHING?! Had this been Philemon's fault...oh just wait until that butterfly masked asshole came to talk again, he was going to get a fist to the face.

Well, now that he was here, he could make the most of it, he supposed. Eikichi wasn't expecting to find his friends - what with the word having ended, after all, and somewhat guilty that he still had his memories intact. Hopefully the world ending hadn't been his fault. He'd never forgive himself--yeah best not to think about it. He opened up his trunk and found his guitar case in thirty or so smaller pieces. Yet it looked somewhat easy to rebuilt, even for him, and before long the pieces clamped together like a jigsaw puzzle. The Lgendary Guitar Case was made whole again. Swinging it over his shoulders, he closed the door to his room, and walked out.

Comments

[nomnommom]

A WILD SPACE DRAGON is lurking in the halls outside, about fifty feet from the door, and is facing the other way.

He seems to be grousing over the lack of space, given his size and wingspan, things aren't quite cramped, but they're not very comfortable, either.

[deathboss]

Well wasn't that something. A demon inside the tower and he wasn't completely out of his room yet.

"Yo demon!" he called out, grinning. "Don't give up on life, you know it's gonna turn around!" Maybe he should be taking his own advice at the moment.

[nomnommom]

[What.

What.

Ridley turns around, positively boggled by this.]

...you are either exceptionally brave, human, or exceptionally stupid.

[thanabro]

[Ryoji is heading around the halls, just thinking to himself, when he spots a guy carrying... a guitar case?]

[... He knows SEES uses weird weapons, so that's his first thought, but then no. Obviously he just plays guitar. This past year has been the weirdest thing ever. He raises a hand to wave at him.]

Hey there.

[deathboss]

[Hey a friendly face! Eikichi needs more of those. He waves right back.]

Yo! You mind telling Michel where the hell he is? I just woke up and this place is pretty loco.

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu was merely walking out of the workshop on the fifteenth floor, looking a little proud even with the cuts and a small, mild burn on his arm that were now healing thanks to a Diarama spell. That's when he sees a newcomer carrying a guitar case. ...Did they play or-? Eh, whatever. He'll give a nod and approach.]

...Just awaken? [Because even with his habit of being in the workshop, he hasn't seen this person in the cafeteria before.]

[deathboss]

[He gets a grin back and a small wave.]

Yeah baby! I'm afraid that the beautiful Michel has not been in these halls before.

[He moves with a flourish that may remind Yu of Teddie. If Teddie and Kanji had a kid with blue hair, white face powder and black lipstick. Yeaaah.]

Taking a wild guess, but you're not new compared to me huh?

[complementing]

[Oh hello, this is Minako leaving her room to go do some training. Approach? 83]

[deathboss]

[Hell yes he will.]

Hey babe! Don't go off without saying hi to Michel first!

floor 38 because gamzee's a lazy fatass

[hystericull]

[This new floor still had that good ol' new floor smell. Gamzee was kicked back on a huge beanbag, upside-down, horns digging into the floor. He... seemed awake? His eyes were open, at least, but he wasn't moving much. Just sort of staring off into space, smiling awkwardly and dripping a quite radioactive-looking substance all over his shirt trying to get it to his festering, filthy mouth.

In comes a kid he's never seen before! For being a new floor, it was pretty deserted right now, so the company was welcome! The troll's grin widened as he watched the boy for a moment or two, slurping at his fingers thoughtfully. After a moment, he set the pie tin on his stomach, staring up at Eikichi still from his upside-down position.]

Heyyyy, my blue-haired motherfucker. You all up and gettin' your first-time motherfucking observation on at the wicked mystical motherfuckin' Towerland, yo?

GOD GAMZEE GET SOME EXERCISE (Also tell me which one is increased as he replies)

[deathboss]

[Oh man! Another demon! And this one looked to be on drugs...uh not that he hasn't seen worse Mara. Maybe his negotiations will go better this round. Eikichi takes a nearby seat, sitting with his arms on his legs.

Hell yeah I am! Pretty fucking intense place, I gotta admit. Just gotta say, baby, don't let life pull you down, just continue to do good work and keep going at it!

[evokingfool]

[He pause when he see someone with a guitar. A musician? As a music lover, Minato's curious about the other guy.]

...Hi.

[deathboss]

[You get a proud grin.]

Hey! You aren't new around here are you?

MEDIA FLOOR because why not??? /p-p-placeholder

[fractus_animus]

[ YOU SENSE DEATH!!!!

No really it's actually pretty damn freaky like off-the-charts besides fellow Death Arcana Persona-user. Coming from this dude wearing a scarf and a long coat listening to his mp3 player and going through one of the machines here to check out what's on-file. Same dude who kind of has a hairstyle reminiscent of a certain Jun Kurosu.

Said guy is kind of absorbed in it and really hasn't noticed Thanatos tugging on him; things were peaceful, after all.

And damn he's short. ]

[deathboss]

[Dude he is very short. Eikichi's been walking around the place, but sooner or later, there was no doubt he'd end up in the media floor. For the most part he's looking like a kid in a candy store at everything before him and...FLAT TVS?! what is this strange madness, how could TVs get that flat and...look at all the good music and he's just freaking out until...wait.

Hades is telling him to look at the boy and mentions that the Lord of Death is in that guy too. Geeze, Thanatos sure is popular around here. Hades makes a comment about masks and how different worlds can have different paths, but Eikichi, being Eikichi, is only listening to a part of it as he checks the guy out (no, not that way, he's got his babe already okay) Kinda reminds him of a blue-haired Jun, without the flowers.

Oh man additionally, he has a walkman...but where is the walkman? Maybe it's one of those giant headphones that play radio stations but he doubts the tower has air radio...he thinks. Regardless, Eikichi's pretty comfortable in death users, and so he walks over to the guy, towering over him at 6'1" and grinning.]

Hey! I'm Diggin' the Walkman!

Media Floor because I love fictional people interacting with technology.

[fallen_stage]

[Kuja seems to have found a DVD player, which rests on his lap and seems to be playing.... an opera? He seems enraptured by it, but glances up politely as Eikichi enters his sight.

>Greet
>Go over
>Abscond
>???]

OKAY 8Db

[deathboss]

[Eikichi waves before looking around admiring THE FUTURE. He's seen some of this stuff, but as far as DVDs went, he had large laser discs for all his concert needs.

...also Opera sounds more like something Jun would like anyway.]

What's that you're holding?

[morituramfides]

[Jin's certainly not gonna bother to give you the time of day at the moment, but Hades might be pinged by the rather...odd nature of Moros as the Strega member passed by.

Investigate??]

[deathboss]

[HELL YES he will. Even Hades seems a bit confused. Saying to him that the guy's Persona is coming off covered in weird static noise. Unfortunately, Michel is not a very good sneaking type of guy, especially when you're wearing a spring blue outfit, blue hair and a bunch of makeup.]

here have some more Strega

[floreatnoctem]

[Chidori's not hard to miss unless she wants to be, and today, she's not really in the mood to bother. Despite taking her suppressants, Medea is as loud as anything, and only seems to be getting louder. It takes Chidori a moment to realize why, and when she does, she stops in her tracks and swivels her head, trying to pinpoint the feeling.

Another version of Death in the tower, and perhaps another reason to be wary, if she's not careful.

She finally pinpoints the direction and blinks as she sees him approaching, not moving save to look him over as he steps closer. Not exactly what she's expecting, but then looks can be deceiving. She slouches slightly as he moves closer, fingers rustling her skirts and reaching for where her evoker is hidden. She might not need it, but it never hurt to be prepared.]

I love Strega and you

[deathboss]

[This time he could feel it from much farther than before. Another Persona user. Could it mean she's more powerful than the others? He's not sure, but curiosity gets the best of him.

Medea, Hades tells her. A powerful magic user in her own right but something's completely amiss. As he gets closer, Eikichi can finally hear it.

Static.

Unbelievable static like a hundred televisions sets completely surrounding him, and the voice of lost woman hitting endless doors, demanding to be let out of this prison...she's crying in pain...

He's kneeling close by, trying to stop himself from doing the same but he can't help it, pushing his left hand over his face. This is different than the other two Strega members. It's a pain that be can feel through empathy carried over to himself.]

No! S-she's....she's not supposed to be in there! Not like that! Not like that...

I need more Pix in my life.

[miseris_socios]

[Ken is walking through the dorm, spear in hand. He's headed out for some more training, when he spots the guy who looks like he's a visual kei reject.]

[Don't mind him, he's just going to stare.]

I shall give you more then

[deathboss]

[Eikichi stops walking long enough to stare back. Tch, kid want to stare at him huh? No problem, Eikichi's been Boss of the school of delinquents for quite some time. He's got the staredown look master beyond that of mere mortals.

But Hades is nagging him again...aw crud does this mean.]

This is seriously starting to piss me off!

[He's not talking to Ken, but Ken wouldn't know.]

..okay this is the best i get for being on skype

[beknightedheroine]

[Sayaka's track record with other blue-haired people in the tower has been pretty cool so far, let's see if that streak holds out.

so yeah sup have a magical girl an age late, she's lurking in the hallway of Endless New CR Encounters and doing something nondescript

the interaction promises to be thrilling]

OH HALLO

[deathboss]

[Well there's other people. AND THEN THERE IS EIKICHI. Well...no Persona reactions from Hades, so she's clear in that aspect. Time to be the best Michel is.]

Hola senorita! don't walk just by Michel and ignore him like that, he wants to be seen!
