Hijinks Mingle

Who: Everyone!
Where: Anywhere around the hub!
When: Days 103-105
Open/Closed: Open mingle!
Notes: See this post for details on the moon prompt and this one for the telepathy/dream/spirit prompts!



[A | Flower Gleam and Glow]
[The nearby moon is still passing close to the hub island, meaning the effects are still in play. Perhaps now is the time to stop and smell the large lit up sparkling moonflowers that have bloomed? Or be annoyed by the mosquito-like insects that came with them.

Alternatively, the deer seem to draw some sort of energy from the moon's light. Given their size, at least their sudden aggression and proximity to the base camp isn't the worst thing in the world but a kick would still break a rib or other bone so be careful! Possibly help each other deal with these cute but troublesome fauna.]



[B | Eavesdropping]
[For some reason, the telepathy will suddenly get rather wonky. Characters won't know why it's happening, though of course no doubt there will be ponderings, but it means characters won't be in control of their ability to broadcast — or more specifically, not broadcast — their thoughts. Time to find out secrets of an embarrassing nature. Or maybe something sadder is going on in your character's head.

If this wasn't bad enough, the area around the signet might experience burning or tingling. Just try to keep a lid on your brain for the day and distract yourself from any annoying pain.]



[C | Talking In Your Sleep]
[Or maybe your character just doesn't have the most interesting thoughts. Maybe they're busy thinking about pie instead of their upsetting childhood. That's fair. Pie is great.

But surely sometimes it haunts their dreams. With the telepathy running amuck, it's no wonder dreams and nightmares are leaking through, too. Of course, it doesn't have to be an accident. Feel free to grab a friend and share a fanciful dreamscape together on purpose! But for those nuts that are tougher to crack, accidents can and will happen.]



[D | Who You Gonna Call]
[Last but not least, as Friday rolls around, there seems to be something odd going on with the island. If your character is inclined towards the spiritual or supernatural, they'll no doubt notice the strange heavy thickness hanging around. There are whispers in the air and all of new energy just feels solemn. Might be good to give people a heads up and keep an eye on it.]

[ who doesn't like secrets? she can't disagree with that.

but she does flick her hair out of her face, smile tugging at her lips. ]


I hope you're not assigning me a role without my permission. What a transgression!

[ but she continues, a bit more seriously: ]

The future. Here [ a wide sweep of her hand ] or back there, pray tell?

[Okay, if the prickling unease didn't set him off, some douchebag calling him a 'charming young man' does. Who even says that? To him? He isn't a charming young man. He cultivated an image of the opposite of that. Which was maybe stupid, since there was no one around to not be charming at, but the point is that the dude is creepy as fuck and that 'where he belongs' is like top tier creepy fucker dialogue.]

Cool story, bro. Protip: you fuckin' can't. Not unless you're the inter-dimensional space witch, in which case I've gotta say, step down on the looks department.

[ mother of god. why is the reaper here? why are they back in mementos? are they home? why is akechi alive?

there's no time to parse those thoughts, no time to dwell or twaddle, because it's the reaper. akira's lips purse and he's acutely aware of the fact he's not in his thief garb. it's weird but mementos is weird, too. so he just blankly stares at the approaching akechi and reaper close in tow. what a thing to wake up to after the week akira's had. this is just too rich. ]


You've got to be kidding me --

No worries. I'm Jude, and as it turns out, Jay is a...

[ friend? can he call him that? jude isn't quite sure that jay would agree with him, but he doesn't mind. some people are just harder to crack than others. jay is a good person. jude knows this. ]

... friend of mine. So he's your apprentice, huh?

[ jay has never mentioned a person named solon before. this is still striking him as a little odd. ]

Yes, that's right. "The Quiet Lands," they were called in Oresoren legend.

They are certainly that.

Can I ask...why is the sky so strange...?
rebells: exasperated, shrug (bellend)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-18 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not assigning anything. Merely making a guess.

[Light. But his smile drops when she asks her next question.]

With the coven, I meant. I should probably hope I never end up back here.

c: akechi why (also potential spoilers who knows marks for them anyways)

[Mementos? What?

She hasn't been here in a long time it feels like, and she can feel the cool air rushing against her cheeks.

First? She seems Akechi. Next? The reaper chasing him. According to everything that she knows... engaging the reaper is a horrible idea.
]

No way.

[Haru wonders why she's just standing here. Her legs say run, but her body is just disbelieving the situation.]

It's a dude, he's on a horse. Being fallen is sad, but hasn't damaged the integrity of the statue, nor its ability to point. These were obviously the qualities Mikleo was concerned for.

There are a variety of ruins to explore. To the NORTH and WEST, the buildings seem to be in the same decayed pattern as those immediately nearby. To the SOUTH, the buildings seem wider and flatter.

The EAST seems odd. Don't go EAST.

Should hope.

[ she takes a seat next to him at long last, hugging her knees close to her chest. this place is oddly serene, oddly calm and she isn't sure why. ]

Hmmm. That sounds an awful lot like doubt.

The FISTBUMP appears to be a great success. Lil Cal vanishes, and then is hanging over her shoulders.

All around is the OCEAN. Before her is a DOOR that seems to lead below.

[pokes around the statue for a while first, just to make sure there aren't any hidden switches; you never know, with these. sometimes you miss that one thing at the start of the dungeon and wind up going in circles for eight hours

...

he's not sure if he's going east or not but he's sure squinting in that direction, when he gets to it]

[Dirk's sense that this man is a top-tier creepazoid is probably not helped by how he throws his head back and laughs at that, sharp and barking.]

You're a funny one, I see.

[But he draws back after a moment, the grin fading, eyes widening, expression turning almost mockingly serious.]

Excuse me, I apologize. I forgot myself for a moment. I'm looking for my apprentice. Name of Jay. Does that sound familiar to you?

This is a WASTE OF YOUR TIME because you know damn well that there haven't been genuine puzzles in dungeons since, like, TALES OF HEARTS. The WATER TRIAL is an outlier and should not be counted.

It's darker to the EAST.

It is also, weirdly, kind of STARRY.

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-18 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's right. I taught him everything he knows, actually.

[Solon turns towards Jude and smirks.]

Or so I like to say, anyway. Just my little joke. Did you say the two of you were friends? That's awfully funny.

[ you're way too empathetic for your own good, kid. she's got years on you and those years are bitter and filled with confused detachment. ]

Exploring. What else is there to do?

[ there's a switch being flipped, her tone resuming it's usual upbeat lilt as she rips her gaze from the flower back over to jude. the grip on the flower hasn't loosened. ]

[you can't just have an east that looks super out of place compared to all the other directions and expect someone NOT to go that way, come on

(he's going that way)]

[ Because Atlus wants to put him in spinoffs and the inevitable Persona 5 remake, obviously. Use your head, Akira.

Akechi isn't wearing the thief garb either, and he doesn't immediately parse Akira as someone he recognizes; the only thing he can think about is the sound of chains closely behind him and his brain is repeatedly telling him to keep running, the words echoing in his head like a mantra.

Bit after a few moments, it finally hits him-- ]


-- Kurusu? [ Why is he here? ]
splinten: appl-juice42 @ tumblr (and bury it in your back yard)

[personal profile] splinten 2017-10-18 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah.

[Split second decision but he's got a blank expression to die for and hey, sleeping was when Dirk was always at his most dishonest. DERSITE SPY, right?]

He might not be here. Or maybe he arrived and disappeared. That happens sometimes.

[ this is actually his worst nightmare. the reaper and akechi. fan-fucking-tastic. ]

Good job loitering and finding him.

[ akira is absolutely scathing as he reaches for akechi's wrist and yanks to make them both start running again. ]

I'm going to haunt you if this is how I die.

[There's a reason they call it the Quiet Lands. He turns back to the sea when she takes a seat next to him, gazing out into its depths.]

I've had this conversation, you realize. Although not with you. [He sighs.] I'd like to come back. I would. But there's nothing left for me here.

The DOLL does not answer. Despite looking like a LITTLE FLOPPY ORANGE MAN, he is, in fact, just an inanimate option.

Well, almost inanimate. In a blur the puppet is gone and then on your SHOULDERS. This leaves you a clear view of a DOOR that seems to lead below.

It also leaves you with a puppet on your shoulders.
