Four Dudes, One Open Log!
Characters: Naoya Toudou, Eikichi Mishina, Shinjiro Aragaki, Naoki Kashima (Demi-Fiend) and viewers like YOU.
Setting: Various! June 27th to July 6rd (I have permission from Mel to do this so if you want to post once your dudes are done the June event, feel free to do so!)
Format: Starting in prose, but I'll follow you if you want to do action.
Summary: Naoya, Shinjiro and Naoki continue to try to survive in the tower for the rest of the month - meanwhile Eikichi finally wakes up and keeps morning the fact his other half didn't come with them...
Instructions: Pick a character, pick a place where you want to meet them and let the CR roll!
Warnings: Considering who is involved it could turn ugly once in a while.
[OOC - These are meant to be log starters - if you have other ideas or other places you want them to meet, by all means please do so, I would love that as well. Also, if you tag with Shinji you may also get a Minako as a bonus! It's like a 2 for 1 deal on Purse Owners!]
Minami might be gone, and it certainly left him feeling oddly empty and sadder than he could have thought, but Shinjiro continued to patrol nightly as he had promised her. If anything, it was almost in her memory; the monsters that stepped out would receive a much stronger whack than a few days ago, as Shinji used his anger and frustration out on them.
It might also not be too pretty to see, if this was the first time you were meeting him, his coat covered in monster's blood and chopping away at the foes with only one hand and a giant axe. He wasn't using his Persona Powers as much as he should, but part of him wanted to grow stronger physically, and see just how far he could go--
--Tch! Dammit it. Now he was really getting into Aki's mindset, wasn't he? Idiot wasn't here, and he was influencing him regardless...
Despite the lack of proper food for the past two months, Shinji hadn't taken this down. There was farmland, which he'd been cultivating with what little he had, and hopefully in a few more months they'd get crops. At least if no one tried to ruin them, which would earn his wraith if he ever found out. For now, however, he'd taken to what he'd learn during his training and was foraging in the two forests areas. Once in a while, he'd use his axe for something other than chopping down a large stalk and took down an animal or two for meat. It wasn't pretty at all.
Logically, then, you could also find him in the kitchen, especially now that the lights and electricity had come back on. With a working fridge, it meant that he could start hunting down more meat than just what could be used for a few days and worry about it spoiling - considering the place it wasn't something he'd want to do. Or the fact he was Shinjiro ; wasting food was something he absolutely loathed.
Sometimes, Minako was with him, eagerly away to see what he'd be able to do.
"Stop looking at me like that," he'd say, once in a while. Not that he minded her company, in fact he welcomed it, it kept him sane during the month. It was just the way he was.
Upon returning to the land of the tower, Ken would find, placed right near his bed, a long spear made just for his size. The origin might be Korean, but thankfully there were some books in the library Shinji had manged to use, and with that knowledge was able to fashion a Dangpa that was better than the Long Spear he had previously fixed for him. Shinjiro had even managed to do a little frufru shit attacked to it (although that was Minako's idea and not his...in fact he found it a wee bit ridiculous).
The might not be from the same worlds, but, in the end, it was Ken's birthday and for all the things he did...Shinji did care.
Happy Birthday.
Of course there was no name attached, no notes or a wish or anything, but it was pretty obvious who was responsible for this.
The youth ran along the corridors, sub-machine gun strapped to his back along with a line of bullets, and his sword by his side. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, really, but the last few weeks had been hectic - he could almost recall the other world in how mostly dead everything was...and the monsters that roamed around.
He was keeping his gun as a last resort, using his Persona (mainly Vishnu or Amon-ra)and his sword rather than waste what little supply of bullets he had. Idly he thought about making a request for more, but had a feeling any requests here were not going to be filled out as he'd like...
If someone was in trouble, he'd step in to protect them, that was certain.
This was a plae that Eriko would love, and he knew it. She had shared some of her knowledge with Naoya and it had served him here; now it was time to do a little on his own, despite how dangerous this place was. Amon-Ra kept the place illuminated as he walked around, ready to spring for and protect him should there be a need.
Books on the occult would be a good start. It was just a matter of finding them.
Now that the tower was springing back to life, he could rest a little - so to speak, and took time from patrol to just gaze outside in quiet thought, sitting on one of the couches that filled up the area. He could have done this in the other area upstairs, but this place was less visited and despite being the leader of his team - sometimes even Naoya enjoyed a little quiet time to himself.
Of course, that could not last forever, and eventually someone else would come.
When Yu would wake up, he would find on his bed, a letter written in Japanese and clear handwritting (Naoya was actrually pretty proud of his writing abilities)
Yu,
I have no idea what has transpired wherever you are, and I can only imagine what might have happened, but when you return, we have much to talk about. During this month the entire tower was in a state of degeration until electrity returned on the 25th. You need to seek me out as soon as possible. I should be either in the dorm, 4th floor, or in one of the libraries.
Your uncle is here, and I think I might have felt someone like you as well, only...you know who I might mean, but to be honest, I could be wrong....and then...there is someone else you need to meet. It's...You. Well not Yu, Yu, but You...You...
...just come and speak with me, I'll explain more.
-Naoya Toudou.
You could say that Eikichi was a great motivator for his team, for better or for worse.
So what happened when he lost his will to do anything? With Miyabi still there with those...with those MONSTERS, the guilt Eikichi had felt was far too numberous to be able to put into words fully. Doomed if she had come with them - he didn't want her to suffer like he had...doomed if he hadn't...now he was here and she was there and he couldn't protect her if something happened. He had stayed in his room for the rest of that week, quiet since awakening, some bones still broken due to the terrible regenerating process. He'd done nothing to fix it, accepting it as punishment for not protecting her.
Eventually his stomach gave out, and he decided to go look around, but his mood was definately un-Eikichi-like.
The guitar slung and held with one hand, Eikichi walked the corridors with a strange look upon his face - one filled with sadness, but anger and frustration as well. Alright. If he couldn't have his day on stage right now, he'd teach all of the monsters what it meant to mess with the Great Michel. There was a lot more cursing involved than usual, as if yelling at them would help ease his own pain.
Sadly, it didn't do much, really, apart from causing quite a spectacle for anyone that happened to watch.
He couldn't bring himself to sing - in a way Miyabi was his muse for that, and without her around, after getting her back, after everything that had happened, it just tugged too much at him.
Thus, the drums. Those, he could hit well, and after a while, he appeared lost in the rhythm, letting the beats take him away from the reality of the situation right now...
Considering the trouble some of the others had had in the tower during this month, Demi had been quite lucky. His powers had become stronger and he'd become almost feral-like but he'd kept clinging on to his humanity regardless of what had happened. Now that Futomimi had shown up, he was able to calm down even more.
If you saw Demi walk the corridors this week, he seemed somewhat more...sure of himself. Maybe it was the way he was moving, or the way he hit a hellhound with such force it sent the creature smalling into a wall before he burnt it into a crisp, but there was an almost regality to him. He walked proudly, happy at who he was. Was it pride or acceptance at all that had happened in the Vortex World? Who knew. But regardless, if he'd been able to bring the world back there, he'd do it now here too. That was his new plan.
Also he needed to find that guy he'd sniffed at and apologize. He stilled remembered that and groaned. Urgh. What had he been think--oh right. He hadn't.
Of course that never stopped him from stopping inside the floor field to appriciate the flowers. Nothing could stop him, really. He'd bury his face inside a bunch of daisies or daffodils, roll around for a few seconds and then sitting and just stare at the non-exsistant sky, sighing almost happily.
If you were lucky, you might find him more talkactive that day too. As his days went on into the tower, he was slowly coming out of his shell, so to speak. Of course if you thought of him as a monster and screamed at the sight, he wasn't going to say much.
He wasn't here to catch fish this time. No, this time Naoki had one thing on his mind, and it was to get Forenus out for a bit of hunting itself, as he rode on the top, perhaps to the slight annoyance of the demon, but at least Demi was letting him go wild...which he was.
Besides, the feeling when you rode a giant demonic manta ray as it sped in there terrorizing everything was pretty exhilarating.
You could even say fun.

➦ FLOOR 1: KITCHEN, FLOOR 6: FOREST & FLOOR 32: FOREST (NO POWERS)
Despite the lack of proper food for the past two months, Shinji hadn't taken this down. There was farmland, which he'd been cultivating with what little he had, and hopefully in a few more months they'd get crops.

➦ DORMS : PRIVATE TO KEN (Post event, when Ken wakes up)
Upon returning to the land of the tower, Ken would find, placed right near his bed, a long spear made just for his size. The origin might be Korean, but thankfully there were some books in the library Shinji had manged to use, and with that knowledge was able to fashion a Dangpa that was better than the Long Spear he had previously fixed for him.

Amon-Ra kept the place illuminated as he walked around, ready to spring for and protect him should there be a need.
Books on the occult would be a good start. It was just a matter of finding them.
➦ FLOOR 4: GLASS WINDOWS
Now that the tower was springing back to life, he could rest a little - so to speak, and took time from patrol to just gaze outside in quiet thought, sitting on one of the couches that filled up the area. He could have done this in the other area upstairs, but this place was less visited and despite being the leader of his team - sometimes even Naoya enjoyed a little quiet time to himself.

✦NAOKI-DEMI |
➦ ANYWHERE INSIDE THE TOWER

Of course that never stopped him from stopping inside the floor field to appriciate the flowers. Nothing could stop him, really. He'd bury his face inside a bunch of daisies or daffodils, roll around for a few seconds and then sitting and just stare at the non-exsistant sky, sighing almost happily.

He wasn't here to catch fish this time. No, this time Naoki had one thing on his mind, and it was to get Forenus out for a bit of hunting itself, as he rode on the top, perhaps to the slight annoyance of the demon, but at least Demi was letting him go wild...which he was.
Besides, the feeling when you rode a giant demonic manta ray as it sped in there terrorizing everything was pretty exhilarating.
You could even say fun.
Naoki; Corridors
[Beat just woke up, okay? Maybe he's not thinking properly or something. You know, getting the fog out of his head or whatever. But he's just going to quietly go over what just happened.]
[So that guy just... punched a hellhound. And incinerated it.]
[This is real life.]
[Have one Beat just gaping really stupidly at you, Naoki. Maybe you should find a camera for this or something, it doesn't happen that often?]
Oh boy corridors
But how could he see with those weird glasses? But that was all stopped when Pixie tried to get behind him and he shook his head at her again. Really Pixie. Can you stop that with everyone they meet.]
Awww! Let me have a little fun!
[At least the fact she was in high spirits again was a good thing. The fairy flew away from beat before settling on Naoki's head.]
You know it dawg
[...No, not really, but Beat seems to regain his composure around this time. He cranes his neck around as she settles herself behind his head, and actually swats at her a bit before she runs back to the ridiculously powerful bloke. So this little thing follows her around? Well... okay. That's pretty special. But considering he had a run-in with some zombies on his first week here, a little winged girl in a bodysuit really isn't that big a deal.]
[So after spending his last few seconds of WTFery, he came back up with a typical crooked smile.] Nice trick you've got there.
no subject
He isn't using tricks! Hitoshura's a powerful half-demon. It isn't tricks, it's skill!
[She flopps down from DEmi's head to his shoulder, looking at Beat with both hands clasped on her chin, legs in the air.]
You know what magic is...right?
no subject
'Course I do. Mine don't quite amount to setting things on fire, though.
[Seriously, all he can do with spray paint is distract them (or, if they're cops, make them run for the hills). Otherwise? It's all brute force.]
no subject
So what can you do?
[How do you feel about impressing fairies?]
no subject
[Out of nowhere, a yellow spray can appears in his hand. Without missing a beat, he presses the button and sweeps the paint across a nearby wall; it's got no apparent paint color, but rather appears more like glowing greenish mist. In one swipe, he creates this, and then tosses the can behind him. It disappears into thin air.]
Of course, the stuff only helps to surprise enemies, blind them if you're lucky. I have to kill all my monsters the old-fashioned way.
no subject
He looks at the piece of art for a few seconds, wondering what it was exactly. Almost like someone had kicked a deer in the privates and it was vomiting and shooting lightning from its ears...he thinks? He never was good with art anyway.]
That's a way to leave your mark, I'll give you that! But if you can't fight well, then there's no point in anything!
[It's a demon thing. Don't worry about it too much.]
no subject
[Also, you got it spot on. That is probably exactly what happened.]
Yeah, true. But hey, I can punch 'em. That's good enough for me!
no subject
Really? Oh oh! Punch Hitoshura, I wanna see how good your arm is!
[Blink. Blink.
...well he's not saying no either. What say you, Beat?]
no subject
[He's totally okay with this.]
[So, Demi-Fiend. There's this thing about punching. Generally, when someone throws a punch, said punch hurts more if the person has some good muscles on them. And Beat? Has a lot of muscle. So he's just going to casually sock you in the gut. In a normal circumstance he'd go for the face, but he's not trying to kill you, man. He'd probably bust up your nose, at the very least.]
[Pretty solid, all things considered. Not even any flailing from throwing his weight around so much on skates.]
no subject
...not bad.
[I mean sure, it hadn't done anything to him, but it wasn't a bad punch at all.]
I can't believe he tried it at all! Pretty gutsy for a human!
no subject
Of course it was. And besides, 'guts' is my middle name. [His last name is 'idiot'.]
no subject
[Well, to be fair, Vortex World wasn't all that big on naming conventions. And it's all good Naoki might not be self-centered, but he is pretty much a derpy guy who was given incredible powers to survive in a demon world. Crazy half-grins are a part of life, so to speak. He looks down at his skates again, thinking.]
I'd still be faster than you.
[Oh yeah he went there ooooh whatyagonna do, track and field forever, man.]
no subject
[...]
No, dipshit. It's a figure of speech. My name's Beat. [Which isn't that much better when you think about it, but again, Beat isn't his real name either.]
[Also, Naoki apparently has him figured out pretty well, because if there's one thing this kid can't resist, it's a challenge. The smile grows yet wider.] Wanna find out? I'm sure there's a floor in this dump we can use for a race.
no subject
Hey watch it, Dokyoo! I might be much smaller than you, but I pack quite a punch myself!
[And does Naoki want to find out? What do you think? He's already thinking about which place would be the best and then with a wide grin...]
Outside the Cathedral?
no subject
[Outside the cathedral? Huh. It's... pretty small, for the length he's used to, so they're going to have to do multiple laps.] Yeah, fine. Five laps around the outside of the cathedral. Someone other than your fairy friend keeps track. [He doesn't trust her honesty with a ten-foot pole.]
no subject
Okay that's it! I'm gonna teach him a lesson that he'll never forget!
[Electricity flies into the air right into him, but Naoki steps in, receiving most of the attack himself. Thankfully he's immune but he does shoot Pixie a small look, while she whistles innocently. Geeze, that attack would have nearly killed him...fairies had a terrible sense of humor. He then processes like nothing had happened.]
We should find someone.
no subject
no subject
We've been through a lot together. We're best friends.
[Awwww.]
Yeah that's right! No one messes with Hitoshura but me! We've fought through all of the other demons and even beat up Kagutsuchi to tell him to bring back his world!
...
