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)

➦ 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.

no subject
[As for Pixie...]
Look, I ain't blaming him! Just thought it would've been nice to know when somebody figured it out!
[That part about demons though...does he even want to ask?]
no subject
Well you seem to have figured it out after that, so...
[Hey, she did have a point. Mondo had found out in some way.]
What did you do with it?
no subject
Friend told me.
...I still got it, though. Don't know what to do with it, fucking creepy to keep it, but throwing it away's bad too.
no subject
[Demi just. Facepalms at that comment. He's been doing a lot of that lately.]
Keep it locked up.
no subject
...Those things don't go in the rooms, right? Put it back in the trunk where I found it.
no subject
Think so.
[Demi is the lord of conversation.]
Speaking of the real thing, I never saw a human with that much funny hair before!
[See? Master of Tact.]
no subject
...Aa? You makin' fun of me?!
no subject
[Really. Everyone. Aren't you just lucky that she is around?]
Pixie stop.
Aww, but it's so funny! How can it stick like that anyway. he's a human, so I bet he wakes up with the worst rest hair!
no subject
[His trunk is filled with hairspray and a punchperm iron, that's how...]
no subject
[Demi shakes his head.]
No. [He looks over at Mondo again.] Biker Gang? [He'd seen a few back home passing by. Never the type to get involved, obviously...of course that was before Conception.]
no subject
You got it. The Crazy Diamonds, we're the biggest and best around! Me and my brother started it up.
no subject
I avoided them.
[Not really your fault bro, but Naoki wasn't exactly the type to get recruited or want to hang out with them, even if he was the best of his track and field team.]
Not that it matters, because you're part of something much better anyway! You're our leader! Besides, I bet you could beat them all up now!
[That's almost touching, in a weird way.]
no subject
So what're you the head of, then?
no subject
My team.
[Oh did Pixie just puff up in pride?]
The best demonic team he could ask for! I should be because I was the first one that joined him! [She beams.] I know! Show him some of the others!
[...well why not. With a burst of electrical power, he raises his hand into the sky, eyes closed and suddenly summons another creature besides him. This one isn't tiny like Pixie and nearly towers two thirds of him, like a giant giant dog. A giant snake-lion-dog.]
HITOSHURA. [Oh. Oh okay, it can speak, sure...sure. GOOD. Not weird at all.] I SEE YOU HAVE MET ANOTHER HUMAN.
no subject
...'Demonic team'?
no subject
WE ARE DEMONS, HUMAN.
That's Cerberus of the Beast Clan. I'm Pixie of the Fairy Clan. Hitoshura is the Demi-Fiend. Demonic blood, but a human mind and heart. He's been with us in the Vortex World for a while now.
[Naoki just nods.]
no subject
no subject
[Well he wasn't sure if that was what Mondo was wondering about and personally he wouldn't call it a blessing, especially when it was administered INTO HIS EYE but uh, he just nods that that too.]
And the Vortex World is where we lived in! It is created when The World ends and Conception occurs.
