A few minutes before anything happens, Ruana's voice rings out over the Tower's intercom--it manages to be louder than anything the residents happen to be doing. "Hey, everyone, there's something exciting going on at floor fifty-six! Go make sure they don't get themselves killed!"


You arrive, stepping or tumbling, in a surgical suite. It looks abandoned, with dust collecting on the table and floors. The lights flicker, and for a moment blood dripping off the table, puddling on the floor--but no, the lights are back, and surely that was your imagination. It's quiet, eerily so, but nothing hinders you, and you're free to spread out and explore. There are multiple rooms here, like in any hospital, and it's all a bit confusing. Occasionally the lights flicker, and it's a bit frightening as Things appear that shouldn't exist. Shadowy creatures stitched together and reaching for you, doctors brandishing phantom surgical tools, blood splattering the walls or floor or ceiling, how did it get there--but none are real, and all of them vanish when the lights return. Eventually you find the staircase, spiraling up and down into darkness. Approach it, though, and the thing glitters with a barrier that will push back any attempts at climbing the thing.

A girl, a teenager dressed in red and black, appears. And she does simply appear, inserting herself into the space, nearly pushing it aside to make room in it for where she is now. Her face beams with unconcealed excitement, and her words tumble out on top of themselves. "You can't go there! Yet, I mean. You'd all die!"

The girl steps onto the staircase, passing through the barrier as if it weren't there, and sits on the steps to address everyone. "Hi! I'm Ruana. You didn't show up the normal way, so the Tower can't support you yet. We got this one floor ready when I saw you were coming but, well, the Tower's kind've big, so getting all of them set up is taking a little longer than I thought." She smiles, sheepishly apologetic in a carefree sort of way. "I've got everyone coming here to visit you--or at least they know they can visit you--and I'll have someone bring food up for you. It'll be oatmeal, and oatmeal is super boring, but you have to eat it, okay? Then you can have whatever you want! The cafeteria's down on the first floor if you get hungry. We should have everything ready in a few hours. I've gotta go help with that, so you guys wait here.

"Don't worry, the monsters can't get to this floor as long as that barrier is up."

And then she's gone, blinking out of existence. The barrier will remain for three hours.

That's unusual. Maybe one of the tower's overseers, but why send an entire army of Persona users?

[It seems almost like overkill...then again...]

Was it Philemon?

[Which would only increase his questions even more.]

[He narrows his eyes.]

What makes you think we're all Persona users?

[Naoya doesn't even flinch. He just continues on the conversation as if nothing was wrong.]

I can sense other Persona users, much like Fuuka, Rise or Chidori. [All those user meetings are rather handy, in moments like these.] With my team, it's a skill we all have, along with what you term the 'Wild Card' power.

[His inner muscles relax and nods. At least that made sense.

But did that mean Fuuka was here? He sure as hell hoped not.]


And if it was Philemon?

[Haha people apping Fuuka that's a good one. Thankfully not.]

...then there's something more horrible than what's already happening here.

[Wow, that sure sounds like a good thing, right?]

I didn't realize he had the power to send others to an entirely different universe...[CAUSE THAT. WOULD HAVE BEEN. HANDY. IN HIS OWN ADVENTURES >B[]
themortalhalf: ([Star] ♞ maybe one will look on down)

[It happens sometimes okay.]

And maybe he doesn't.

[That reeeeeally can't be good. He fidgets with his earring again before speaking.]

If Philemon sent you but wasn't responsible for it himself...does it have anything to do with SEBEC, the DEVA machine, the Night Queen or Nyarlathotep?

[When in doubt, name all the possibilities. Judge based on reaction.]

Only name I recognize is the last. Beats me about the other shit.
imperialsun: (Emotion - Side view)

[personal profile] imperialsun 2013-02-27 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh right he should call her by her other name...]

The Night Queen is what she called herself for us, but you knew her as Nyx. My team fought her...well an aspect of her, along with Nyarlathotep.

[Oh. Oh okay then. No biggie.]
