SPOOKY HAUNTS AND TRAILS » OPEN

WHO: the infamous nasty crimeboy, Akira Kurusu, and you!
WHERE: Places in Recolle
WHEN: Spooky Month of October
WHAT: EVENT STUFF and mundane stuff if it comes up. if you would like to plan anything, hit me up via [plurk.com profile] halloway or hei#2323 on discord.
WARNINGS: Persona 5 spoilers for last boss battle and late-game conspiracy unveiling. Will update when necessary!

NOTE!! You can leave an empty comment with the subject header of your choice or even RANDOM for something unlisted/miscellaneous (lighthearted) and I'll write the prompt. For nightmares, it may skip around and make no sense very much like how actual dreams are.

nightmares
[ When you enter the dream, you're engulfed by darkness until you hear a deep and unfamiliar voice. It speaks in a language you are most comfortable with. ]

The contract has been sealed...

You have agreed to provide the Trickster support
in his journey to oppose fate and seek change.


CASINO
It's filled with a variety of gamblers from talking fish to actual people. Shadows are also gambling? But they're aggressive due to their mass losses. There are several elevators and it seems like the treasure is on the VIP level.

If you choose to enter the CASINO, you may appear outside of the structure or on the first floor in costume and mask. Akira will accompany you in his Joker outfit.
VELVET ROOM
Are you a prisoner? Or a keeper? You can stand behind the bars with Akira, withstand the abuse and rebel alongside him, or on the opposite side—ushered by two wardens and a man with an elongated nose to carry out discipline. Rehabilitation is important.

If you choose to enter the VELVET ROOM, you may appear inside or outside the cell. Your attire will change into prisoner wear or officer uniform respectively.
MEMENTOS (SPOILER)
In the city of Recolle, you notice there's something strange. People walk past the blood red rain and the towering skeleton pieces. The irrelevant become forgotten. The forgotten vanish. Is it your hand that's disappearing? Or is it Akira's?

If you choose MEMENTOS, you'll be in your normal attire or in your underwear. Whichever your character feels less attractive in if you want. Once again, Akira is beside you.

CODE CREDIT
fog
[ Akira has been having a hard time with his nightmares. Some of them he remembers bits and pieces (all useless), but he's thinking a jog in the ungodly time where the thick fog rolls in is a good idea? Unfortunately not... He ends up running away from one of these three tormentors in his pajamas. What's with his luck?

As he looks behind him, he crashes into someone. Sorry.
]

TWIN WARDENS (SPOILER)
Their names are unknown to you, but they're two girls with silver hair with a single golden eye (an eyepatch covers the other). As attendants of the Velvet Room, they have this ethereal aura to them, even menacing as they shoot various skills into the fog.

"Come back here, inmate! You can't hide forever!"

"You're only delaying the inevitable."
IMPERIOUS ANGEL (SPOILER)
An angel appears with an abstract body shape. Wings scaling wide and halo spinning over its head, it spreads its several hands that hold instruments. With the rise of the triangle, the angel rings it with a clear ding. In a matter of seconds, a flash of light magic strikes near.

"I am what humanity desires. Why oppose me?"

You can hear the sneer in its voice.
GOLD PIGGER
This silver piggy bank may seem cute, but it's also massively large and rolls without end. What does stop it from rolling are valuable items. Throw something expensive and it'll take a break to appraise it with a series of oinks. The one in control is a half-fly guy throwing out some mad rhymes.

"Yo yo yo! You think you can just walk into my neighborhood and disrespect me like that, dawg?"

CODE CREDIT
wildcard
[ THROW ME WHATEVER! Baby haunts from the new ghosts or even the Retrospec Maze! Even anything normal. ]

If I need a code name, then... Knight.

[she's going with that way too easily, but she prefers it to p2 palette panther Jaguar.]

What do you mean, 'return to normal'?

[Honestly, if this ends with him in a cell anyway, that'd be fine. It could be a hard cut and everything. But Goro's not exactly looking forward to being punished like Akira anyway, so he'll force aside his unease at hurting his boyfriend and winds his fingers into the collar of the striped shirt.]

No wonder they're so eager to see you hurt with a mouth like that.

[He mouths a quick sorry before pretty much jerking him forward against the bars, face tightening at the sound of Akira's head on metal.]

Hasn't anyone ever taught you manners? Whether you think you did something wrong or not, the fact of the matter is you did. It'll only get worse out from here if you don't ask for forgiveness. On your knees, first off.

[Do it, or I'll do it for you is the sort of sentiment from that tone, though his expression's apologetic.]
covenantal: (285.)

WHAT??

[personal profile] covenantal 2017-10-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
I've never seen--

[ he tries to explain, i've never seen recolle look like this, but he can't, because Akira's belief that he is not himself feels like a sucker punch to the chest. With a silent gasp he stumbles, pitching to the ground and painfully catching himself on his hands as his leg disappears from beneath him.

With one eye winced shut Yu looks up again, trying to focus past the strange but terrifying feeling that he could simply dissolve into nothingness at any moment. ]


--no, but ... Akira, why--?

[... i just read up to find that and oh my god

DON'T TELL HER THAT OR SHE'LL GET MAD.]


... What? How is...

[She just sighs.]

This is a dream, isn't it? It doesn't make any sense... But I suppose I should simply follow the rules in here for now.

... Why are you worried?

[She just. Stares at him, then back at the mice... guard... pixels.... Cleo's never played a video game in her life, so she's pretty concerned about this.]

If they're dangerous, I'll simply get rid of them.

[He forgot...goodness. Well luckily Elliot isn't really the type to lecture, especially when they are running for their lives, so-]

You don't- [he huffs a little. He is not cut out for this running] - L-Let's just get out of this alive first okay?! We'll talk then!

[Speaking of- how is this pig so fast? Not only that, but did Akira just summon a persona?? At least, it looked like a persona from what Minako summoned- except he didn't see Akira put a gun to his head. Though it's not like he has any real time to mull over these matters since the lighting didn't slow it down at all.

While still running, he'll do his best to turn around for a moment and swing his staff in the direction of the pig. Three magic bubbles fly out and hit the pig. Surprisingly, it does damage despite it being fricking bubbles, but it's likely not going to slow the thing down either]
covenantal: (o61.)

i've done nothing to deserve this??

[ Yu's breathing immediately eases when Akira remembers who he is, which twin he is, and the relief seeps the tension from his shoulders. Getting both his knees beneath him, he'll sit on his heels and reach for Akira without thinking, a reflexive motion that finds him touching his friend's elbow with one hand.

There's a shivery terror at the center of his chest, i'm not souji i'm not him please-- i'm me, and he tries not to pay it any mind. ]


I'm fine, [ he breathes out on a sigh, trying to smile. ] I'm fine. You...

[ --see me--

He shakes his head. ]


What about you?

[ WELP, looks like this isn't the time for a tutorial, huh? sena watches the way akira lunges at the enemy with his daggers, and decides to charge in as well and slash at one of those mice before it gets him with a stun gun. so far so good? he still doesn't have enough sword training due to how busy he was last month, but apparently he's not doing half bad in this surreal dream.

he turns and sees that another mouse is aiming at akira with a gun from afar, and sena dashes over to guard his back by swishing his cape over them; the cape can apparently work like a shield, as the bullets bounce off the fabric like it's nothing. ]


You have a gun on you or something?

[EXCELLENT time for an adventure

Kashuu, in the meantime, still jumps when the baton is slammed into the door. This kid has no chill?! And the terms inmate and rehabilitation jive even less well than the prison uniform itself. Still, he... punkishly ignores the warnings of silence, instead plucking at the edge of his shirt before looking over toward Akira.]


I have no idea.

[An honest answer, if a useless one...]

What about you, huh? Jail?

[WHO KNEW that Akira was a law-breaking hooligan.]

[the rat's going to be cat lunch, more like.

Cleo draws her sword and charges, swinging at the rat. It's a grotesque monster, sure... But so are the ones in her visions. She just lets those visions guide her, sidestepping the rat's lunge with a swing at its leg, aiming to lop it off in one blow.]


A monster is not fit to wear that hat.
fiddlestick: (duck and cover)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-10-08 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Expensive? Not-

[Nothing he can really give up, like his ARCUS or his staff. He needs that. He was just a poor college student and one who was in enough of a rush to find Akira that he left behind his wallet.

But the real reason he cut off is because Elliot was not a runner. He was not athletic in the slightest. And more than that, he was easily startled. So when Satanael shows up and shoots off a gun? The sound startles Elliot enough that he loses his footing and trips - falling face first into the pavement as his staff goes skidding off into another direction.]

[ sena watches in awe as the demon lord manifests from out of nowhere and shoots every mouse on sight. where the hell did that even come from? is that what yu mentioned to him last month?

a frisson of power blossoms up in him as akira grants him healing abilities and with a mere snap of sena's fingers, they're both back in tip-top shape once more. now that he's getting more used to this... gameplay... sena nods before running and impaling whatever's left of those mice on the ground, the poor little guys vanishing in a puff of smoke once thoroughly defeated.

that sure was exhilarating, but so exhausting. sena has to take off the stupid hat off his head first before catching his breath. ]


Wh... What was that, Aki-- Joker? Was that a Persona?

[ Before anything else, it's the background music that tips him off that he's dreaming again. With all these going on, he can't tell if they're his or someone else's dreams. It's a little unsettling though, having to deal with people who have X's over their faces as they try to interact with him. He's been spewing excuses left and right to leave.

...

When he walks into homeroom, a sense of relief washes over him as he sees someone familiar that doesn't have an X blocking their face. Since this is a dream, he feels like he won't have consequences for ruining class, so--
]

Akira!

[ He waves, not so stealthily at all. ]
