Intro Log.

[awashmods]

Ding, dong, bell, Pussy's in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny Thin. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that, To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who never did him any harm, But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn.

ou wake in knee-deep water, cold as ice and stagnant, in a space that is far too echoey and spacious. It feels like a massive cave, but looking up... there's only one small, circular opening that shows grey sky and shines any sort of light. It looks like a long trip upwards, a small cylinder with walls of brick that's just a little too high to reach, even when jumping. Getting out is probably going to be a bit of a task, especially considering the water is more than cold enough to make limbs go numb. The dark makes it impossible to see much further, but the space seems large, all filled with water, but with no other way out, stone walls the only thing for an intrepid explorer to find. But most importantly of all... you're not alone. Welcome to Awash's first intro log, everyone! Please review the FAQ and rules before playing. Characters have all woken at the bottom of the well in the middle of the town (which seems a lot bigger on the inside, somehow), and it looks like they'll have to put in some work to get out. Once out, they'll be free to explore the various locations the Town has to offer at will. Just try not to die on any of the far-too-rickety walkways. Further information can be found here at the OOC post, and don't forget to greet your fellow players here!

Trois - Une rencontre à travers le temps dans un monde gris

[totheno1]

[Sometimes the pull of another Persona user is subtle, a little ping in the back of his mind of something calling out to him, or taunting him as it had been with Kandori. Other times it was like this one where the Persona was floating above its user, leaving little to the imagination. It was strange how oddly familiar it felt - like he'd met its user before.

The reddish hair stands out even more against the grey background. He has to think about this in silence, because as much as he feels he has an answer as to who this is, his mind doesn't quite wish to follow. It wouldn't make sense, after all. Well, there was only one way to find out, as he pushed his glasses upwards before walking over. Cautiously, of course. One could only wonder what her Persona could do, and she seemed rather concentrated on her task.]

Miss? May I inquire what you are doing?

[His voice neutral and polite. He as an idea of what the answer may be, but it is always better to open with something a little more subduded. However, there was no denying it, she had the seriousness of her father. At least, if his guess was correct.]

Véritable poésie

[cestmagnifique]

[ What instinct she has about her surroundings must be verified with data. That's what she believes. Small pings or senses of familiarity can be misleading and Mitsuru does not want to give in to her wants over the reality of the situation. She imagines it will only take another minute at most.

She hears footsteps, but it's the sound of a voice that draws her attention. A man, taller than her, clothes that fit appropriately--tailored? Something she's found is less common than not--glasses. It brings her to pause. ]

...I'm performing a preliminary scan of the area.

[ She says matter-of-factly.

He looks...

Familiar.

As he draws closer, she can appraise him more accurately. ]

Merci beaucoup

[totheno1]

I see...

[He walks closer, stroking his chin. Scanning the area wasn't something his team had ever done. If anything, his reaction probably told her that he seemed a little too relaxed to see someone with a floating figure above them.]

Have you found anything to aid so far?

[cestmagnifique]

[ Yes, he most definitely does seem too relaxed. Then again, she's already been meeting people who have abilities that are beyond her expectations, so perhaps he simply--

--wait.

That face. That voice-- ]

...Nanjo?

[ Rudely ignoring his question in shock. Sorry about that. ]

[totheno1]

[Super rude, wow. Except no, he should have expected that reaction, considering. However, all he can offer now is a smile a small nod.]

Miss Kirijo. I apologize for not introducing myself first, but I wanted to confirm my suspicions first.

[This is definitely him, but it appears far younger for her and far older for him.]

I must say, this is an interesting development.

[He hasn't met any of his friends...Mitsuru might be the closest person he knows so far.]

[cestmagnifique]

[ She's already tossing around ideas of why she and others have found themselves there, what might potentially connect them all, or what they have in common. But the presence of a prominent member of the Nanjo Group--Kei Nanjo himself--raises some important questions. ]

...Yes, it's understandable.

[ Mitsuru needs to regain her composure as well. Her own behavior is unbefitting her position. ]

I must apologize as well, for my outburst.

[ His presence gives credibility for some of her theories, but also raises a few questions. ]

It is, indeed. I hope this doesn't sound untoward, but...you have changed since I last saw you.

[totheno1]

[Ahh Mitsuru. If only you'd seen Kei with his fiends, you wouldn't think your behavior is unfitting your position.]

There is no need to apologize, I feel my reaction would have been similar if I had been approached first.

[He pushes up his glasses before speaking again, nodding.]

I understand...you have grown as well from last I saw you. Time does not appear to matter here...but it seems our family are intertwined even in such a place as this. I had heard you had a Persona, but I must admit I never quite expected something like this...

[It would make sense for the Nanjo Group to know about Personas...right?]
