☆ 001 : DEBUT ☆ "Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today."
Characters: Rise (idol_support) and YOU! :D
Setting: Starting in Room 2-01, then WHEREVER SHE HAS TO GO TO FIND HER FRIENDS, K (i.e. feel free to choose if you'd like!); morning of the 12th
Format: Posting with prosebecause I can't help it, sob; no preference for the comments, I will happily follow your lead!
Summary: Rise wakes up (in her Halloween costume, lol) and goes lookin' fortrouble her peeps!
Warnings: Uh...the usual Intro Post Semi-Ramble, and possible spoilers for the True End of Persona 4 (...does that even count any more...), but otherwise nothing so far!
It could have been worse. Waking up in a strange place and then experiencing a short period of sleep paralysis were far from Rise's idea of fun, but while it had been a little scary, she wasn't the type to let something like that get her down or frighten her into inaction; not any more. After all, she'd experienced things tons scarier than that since she'd moved to Inaba and gotten her Persona--it wasn't like it was the end of the world or anything!
...The end of the world...a terrible concept, and one that was vividly real to her now, but also less terrifying at the same time, all things considered. She'd read that your world has been destroyed letter, yeah, sure, but it wasn't the first totally B.S. letter left by some huge creep that Rise had seen this year. Plus she'd received enough iffy fanmail during her career as an idol to know that people could write whatever the heck they wanted, but that didn't make any of it true. She would have to see for herself that the world was destroyed before she'd even begin to believe it! There was really just no way it could be destroyed--she and Senpai and all their friends (but especially Senpai) had just saved it.
More than likely this was the TV World, and some jerk had kidnapped her (ugh, again! That was twice in one year! Twice!) and dumped her here. At least, that's what she'd thought at first...but this place just didn't feel right somehow. Not that the TV World had, but that had been a different sort of Not Right. This was...this was...augh, she didn't even know what this was! It had to be somewhere kinda like the TV World, though, another place that existed outside (or was it more like inside?) of the Real World, because she could summon Kanzeon here with no problem. That had been the first thing she'd done, in fact; the ceiling had looked a little low to try it here, but she had no idea where she was or what to expect when she went through the room's solitary door, and "kinda cramped quarters" was still better than "totally dangerous open area". Anyways, she could always do a more intensive scan later on, when she had a better idea of where she was and what was going on.
What she'd found on doing that initial scan had both reassured and confused her, because ooh, some of her friends were close by! ...But wait, there were a looot of people here, and it looked like there were more--way more--Persona users than just the Investigation Team, whatever that meant... She didn't know anything about them, so Rise couldn't get a solid feel on how many, or exactly where they were, but there were definitely others like them here.
Still, that wasn't the most pressing thing on her mind just now, because in addition to this being a super-weird place...there was also the costume.
Rise hadn't wanted to stay here in this room any longer than it took Kanzeon to run a quick scan of the place and give her a general heads up, but she'd still stopped long enough to change...or she'd tried to, anyway. The outfit she'd found herself wearing on waking up had to go.
It wasn't that she didn't look good in it, and she'd worn a lot less than that on national television, so it could've been way worse, but still! Whoever had kidnapped her this time was a real weirdo (and the idea that someone had changed her clothes while she was unconscious was creepy on a whole new level that Rise decided was best not to think about for now). Fortunately, among other things, she'd found some of her normal clothes in the storage trunk at the end of the bed (which, she'd been interested to note, Kanzeon's scan had designated a Treasure Chest). She'd felt a little unsure about changing when she didn't know whether or not there were any hidden cameras--an idol couldn't be too careful after all, even a former-but-hopefully-returning-to-showbiz-soon one--but she pushed that concern aside as well. Their school uniforms were essentially Full Battle Dress for the Investigation Team, and this place felt strange enough that Rise wanted that extra jolt of confidence from the familiar. That had led to a brief (and utterly hopeless) struggle with the weird collar around her neck (it fit snugly enough that she wasn't sure if she'd still be able to wear her usual white turtleneck), but no amount of tugging, pulling, or twisting could get it off, so she'd conceded defeat for now, and just left off wearing the turtleneck this time.
She'd had to concede defeat again just a few seconds later, when she found that the devil costume wouldn't come off, and then a third and final time when she tried wearing her uniform on top of the costume. It had been a little tricky, what with those wings and all, but she'd managed...only to find that somehow, when she'd briefly turned her attention back to the second (much longer) of those two letters she'd found on waking up, the devil costume had somehow ended up on top of her uniform. Which didn't make ANY sense, and looked a whole lot worse than just wearing the costume on its own had. Ugh! If that was how things were gonna be, then fine! She'd just wear the stupid costume already! She had more important things to worry about anyways--namely, finding her friends and figuring out what was going on here!
Getting the uniform off again was more of a struggle than getting it on had been, but she managed it eventually; by then, she was more than ready to get out of here.
"All right!" she said to herself--hearing the cheery sound of her own voice in her ears was oddly comforting. "Time to find everyone and figure this place out!"
Snatching up the two lettersand totally ignoring the plastic pumpkin and the attached note that had been sitting on her trunk, Rise headed out to face the Tower and (hopefully) find her friends.

Snatching up the two letters
no subject
She hadn't read it, but nevertheless, she laughs.
"The world can't be destroyed! We're still right here. And this place seems pretty solid."
After all, if she had lost to ADAM, it would be more like the Dirac--vast stretches of emptiness with nothing for company except perhaps the occasional EVA and Angel. As far as she knew, none of the Angels or even Go-kun looked anything like that.
...lol @ Rise not knowing other people are from other worlds...
What was with this girl? They'd been kidnapped and dumped who KNEW where, and she was laughing like it was the biggest joke ever!
Rise shook her head impatiently. "This place is different! I can't explain why, and I don't know where we are, but I do know 100% for sure that it's not the same as the world we're from!"
...More like she wouldn't explain why, but details, details...
Re: ...lol @ Rise not knowing other people are from other worlds...
See? This was a perfectly good explanation.
[1/2]
[2/2]
...Well, 'a place between worlds' did make sense, more or less, and maybe fighting angels wasn't all that different from fighting a goddess, but...still! And who the heck was this Adam guy, and why did him being gone mean this world (wherever it was) was safe?
Re: [2/2]
Rei doesn't even miss a beat in replying.
no subject
"I'm Rise! Nice to meet you."
It comes out less bubbly than usual; she's still thinking about other worlds, wondering how many of them there are...
no subject
Rei stretches a hand out in greeting.
no subject
"So what's your name? Sorry, I didn't catch it if you said it before."
no subject
Rei's handshake is both firm and fast. It could probably exhaust a normal person's arm though she doesn't hold on for long.
no subject
...Someone as strong as this might come in pretty handy while they're trying to get out of here, especially if they find themselves somewhere too small to summon their Personas. Kanzeon just barely fit in that first room, and the hallway ceiling doesn't look much, if any, higher; Senpai had some smaller ones, of course, but still...
"Have you started looking for a way out of here, Rei-san? With a grip like that, you could probably tear your way through just about anything that's thrown at you!"
no subject
"Weee~ll. I've been looking around, but there don't seem to be any windows or even air vents. No exit doors either. Haven't tried to smash anything either because I wanna see what this place offers first."
Oh, she was going to smash her way out of the Tower someday. Just not today.
no subject
But of course, she can't, which means her goal is still to find her friends and let them do the smashing. Which...she should probably get back to doing right about now. Rise can't know for certain if Rei-san is really telling the truth about looking around for a way out, but if she is and there isn't one...
"I think I'm gonna go look around a little myself. But if we run into each other again and you've changed your mind about smashing your way outta here, then count me in!"
no subject
In Rei's mind, a liberal application of robot could solve even the worst of dilemmas.
no subject
because whaaaat giant robots whaaaat; but if she's seriously asking a question like that, then the reason behind it must be-"They have giant robots in your world? For real?"
Rei had mentioned being an "EVA pilot," but that hadn't meant anything to Rise at the time. But now...
no subject
no subject
Not that having a Persona, jumping through TVs, solving murder-mysteries, etc. isn't, but...GIANT ROBOTS, come on that really is totally cool.
Personal head-canon: the manga Rise mentions reading? Almost completely shounen stuff, lmao."Hmm... Two hundred feet tall might be a little big for this place, buuut if you do find a spare giant robot around, I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin."
no subject
She shakes her head at the "too big" comment.
"Don't you know? Bigger is always better! If the tower can't fit it, then I'll just rip off the ceiling and make it fit!"
no subject
And Rise, in turn, shakes her head at Rei's response to the "too big" comment.
"But bigger isn't always better--sometimes smaller and faster is what wins the fight! Anyways...there are too many people here to just rip into the ceiling like that--what if there are more rooms like this one above you? Someone could get hurt."
no subject
She taps her chin, thinking for a second.
"Then I'll just go on the roof."
no subject
Rise considers Rei's solution for a second as well. "Yeah, I guess the roof would work. And you could always just climb up and down the outside of this place if you need to get at something or someone on another level. Getting it up there would be the problem, depending on where you found it."
no subject
Rise brought up a really good point. With his build, Go-kun couldn't exactly bend over. Other robots could, but ran the risk of being lightly armed
"I guess I have to know the tower better before I try finding and playing with robots then!"
no subject
She wasn't sure if the rooms and hallways would (or could) change like the dungeons had in the TV World, but since this place wasn't the TV World, it seemed like it was worth a shot at least.
no subject
She looks around the floor.
"How are you gonna do that?"
no subject
Rise smiles at the question, a hint of mischief to the expression. True, her powers don't let her map out floors exactly, but what she can sense on them tends to be pretty helpful. "Oh, nothing much...mostly just looking around! As an idol, I had to memorize lines and stage directions and things really quickly, so I have a pretty good memory. But...that'll only be useful if the floor plans don't change all the time." There's a hint of a question there in the look she gives Rei, an unspoken they don't do they here, do they?

LMAO OH GOD
Rei met Tohko Amano around this point in her own post, actually
Well then, for continuity's sake...Rise will be a horrible person, lol.
