Shin Megami Tensei Persona: Dissonant Strain (Private RP)

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro tries to feel around in the darkness, "Guys! Guys! Are you okay?!" He sits up and holds his head, Seiya's voice calling to him in his ear lets him know he's not dead. "T-the floor gave out under us...we slid...we fell...no clue where we are." He stood up slowly and fumbled with his flash light scanning around.

"Its darker than night down here, Seiya..." He turns the light upward at the slope they slid down, "And I don't think we can go back up that steep climb...We'll look for another way."

"Nyahh-man...what the hell is this stuff..." Though Isoroku couldn't see it, he sure as hell could feel the goo clinging to his body. It brought back memories of drinking Edogawa's 'tonic'.

 

[ShadowFolk]

A giant cat was something she did not quite expect to see. But it was hardly a surprise after the shadows they had fought up until this point. It had sharp teeth and claws, Kumiko was keeping her limbs away from that. She summoned her Persona to bash it from a decent distance.

'Why does it have to be a fucking tiger? I want to go back to the floating faces.'

 

[Rosen2012]

"You okay, Roku?" Kojiro walked over and helped his friend up. "Rin! Where did you land!?" He moved the flashlight around looking for their female party member.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada's equilibrium was compromised which was comfortable and expected for him, but he regained his balance enough by the time they were walking through the large, intimidating doors. He was surprised at the giant predator for just a moment before he called for Fionn to stab through it, skewering it. He was a bit uncomfortable with attacking it with his own spear after the last fight, but was sure his ease would fade soon enough.

Rin groaned as she sat up. She tried not to think about the slime coating her back as she heard Kojiro call her name. "I"m over here, I'm ok." She carefully got up and moved towards Kojrio's flashlight, vainly trying to get some of it off her hair.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro nodded, even though she couldn't see it, "Good! Seiya-senpai, we're all ok...just a little...slimmed." He moved the light over Isoroku and Rin and looked at the back of his own legs.

"Maybe more than a little slimmed..."

Fridmund/Mizushima/Yamada:

Eber jumped back with a shout just in time to avoid being struck by his teammates' attacks; he swung in with his dagger and missed. The tiger's retaliation sent him sprawling back with the front of his shirt clawed through. Close combat obviously was NOT an option here.

He summoned Ne-Zha to batter it with the winds.

The tiger lunged forward, forcing your retreat. As it roars, you feel what seems like a flurry of a hundred invisible razors slicing you from every angle before fading just as quickly as it'd come...

Ishikawa/Junsui/Yoshida:

"At least we're still in contact--thank goodness. If you don't find an exit within an hour, I'm coming down to get you!"

The floor beneath you lurched and wriggled. You need the light of your flashlight, but it may attract Shadows...

"I sense danger... Move carefully."

 

[Daren58]

Rin fumbled with her bag for a moment before producing a flashlight of her own. She turned it on and bleakly looked at the other too. "I don't suppose either of you have a feeling about which way to go?" Rin felt quite miserable at the moment.'First flaming birds, and now we've been slimed' She gave a small sigh and waited to see what they thought.

 

[ShadowFolk]

She shouted a word of caution to their German leader, though it was all for not a few seconds later when the shadow cat attacked. It was that feeling again, the one of being ripped through. She couldn't be any less tired of that feeling. Kumiko took some time to recover from the attack, keeping her eyes on the tiger to make sure it wasn't going to pounce her while she recuperated.

The wild and dark looking beast had nearly ripped Eber up. She was right to be worried about getting too close to it. It again Baldr's turn to aide her with his fire.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro looked around, "Not at all...but we can't head back, so lets move forward! We have an hour to solve this by ourselves, let's not make Seiya over exert herself!"

'Or have to come rescue us on our first night under the new system.' He started down the unexplored path first.

 

[Keppler]

"You're going to like the snot slide if you have to come down here, Seiya."

Isoroku kept glancing down at his shoes, sort of stamping at the ground as he did so. It felt so funky. If they started seeing Mynocks flying around, he was going to get worried.

Spoiler

...I couldn't resist...

Yamada gave a dull shout as the blades tore through his clothing and skin. "Is everyone alright?!" He fell back to assess the situation. Everyone seemed to be fine enough so he shouted for Fionn again to run the beast to avoid what happened to Eber happening to him.

 

[Cinnonym]

Fridmund/Mizushima/Yamada:

Eber managed to pull himself up and assume a more defensive stance, keeping light on his feet. He returned the beast's favor of a bladed flurry with Ne-Zha's fists and feet, followed up by a blast of wind strong enough to slam it into the frame of the door it entered from.

The Nizam Beast falls, and subsequently turns to nothing...

Ishikawa/Junsui/Yoshida:

The flashlight shows that you are in a circular room with a low, possibly convulsing ceiling. It feels like you're inside of something living... But, that wouldn't be possible, right?

There are two paths: to the left, and to the right. Neither looks much different than the other, though the entrance to the one on the left is smaller by about three feet.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro gulps, "This does not look inviting at all..." He moves his flashlight around once again. "I say we take the right, it looks bigger...I don't want the path to be too narrow. If we encounter trouble we need lots of room to fight."

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada's eyes went wide as it disappeared. "These AMPS really have boosted our abilities, haven't they?." He nodded to Eber once to show that's who he was presently addressing. "That was an impressive final blow." He turned to address both of them now. "Would you like to continue?" He hoped they did. He still wasn't tired at all.

 

[Daren58]

Rin gave a quick nod. "I agree, besides um the left tunnel would be more of a struggle to get through anyway." Rin panned her flashlight around a little up towards the ceiling. "Um Kojiro, Isoroku is it just me or is the ceiling kind of moving?"

 

[Cinnonym]

Fridmund/Mizushima/Yamada:

Eber doubled over, bracing his hands against his knees. "Senpai was not joking... That thing was vicious." He picked at the shreds of his sweater and sighed, shrugging. "Shall we keep moving, then?"

The door is now clear for your entry. Once inside, the loud blue and yellow motif is replaced by the architecture and decor of a Victorian manor. It isn't draped entirely in blue, so you know not to expect Igor or Eleanor... Rather, the floors are rich oak and the walls cream and white.

"Much easier on the eyes... Wherever it is."

Eber proceeded. The hallway stretched forever, with branching paths leading nowhere in particular. You may choose to continue straight, or turn left or right.

------

Ishikawa/Junsui/Yoshida:

As you approach the tunnel to the right, Hikaru shouts a warning. It's a bit too late to prevent the party from being knocked roughly backward.

You didn't see it coming at first, but once you're back on your feet you see that two whipping masses of darkness have surged ot from both opening, qiant tentacles, or maybe more like tapeworms now that you think about it... And you don't want to think about it.

They lash out in every direction to find you--and when they don't, they fall back in on themselves, transforming into two great stone arms and hands that end in claymores.

Well at least whatever resided there had style. Her eyes were thankful for the rest from the obnoxious colors of the area behind them. And then of course, there was a fork or two in their path. Choosing what direction to go was never a desirable time. The last time they picked one it lead to a unwelcoming place. Then again, what would welcome them down there?

'Okay...most people choose right, right? Soo...maybe not that...we could go forward. I want right and straight too much.'

Kumiko grumbled in thought. "Left, maybe?"
