Persona: Black Crown

I'm looking to update this weekend but not a lot of activity right now. People still on vacation?

Persona: Black Crown

Ah, not everyone's posted yet?

Well that's fine. I had been busy raiding for the last week on FF14 with the new Savage.

Consider this a notice to post soon.

Persona: Black Crown

@Ikan Yeah that looks good. I can actually accept this now, although I have to ask what a two handed revolver is meant to be. I would've thought you'd have gone with flintlock pistols.

We'll also talk about how Hibiya will be onboarded into the RP in DMs. You'll get one in not long. For now since everything's complete you can drop it into the character section.

Persona: Black Crown

@Ikan It's looking pretty solid, only one thing and that's the Authority. It's not a utility ability, it's the manifestation of your wish, it has virtually no downsides when used, and achieves your wish quickly and easily, with one important detail and that's that it only affects other people. In this case your Authority would be something that makes other people view Hibiya as a person of worth.

It's up to you how that will work, but I guess some ideas, could make it people will immediately believe Hibiya if he says he did something, or when the Authority is activated, no matter what he does, it will have a positive effect.

You all might be wondering a bit what use the Authorities are and you'll find out in the settlement we'll be reaching soon.

Persona: Black Crown

@Ikan sure thing. Your introduction will just have to be discussed as well. If you're interested the first step is to get a character accepted.

Persona: Black Crown

Surprise update before New Years.

"It's begun, let's move"

Vaulting the crates to the top of the train carriage was surprisingly easy work. Within the Metarealm, physical abilities appeared to be tied to cognition and so if one were to believe the role they played at greater ability, then it would manifest. Of course in the real world were they to try to climb over these crates it would be slow and cumbersome, but here they moved like the wind itself.

Capes and loose clothing billowed behind the group as they ran down the train, it felt like sprinting through headwind, by all accounts would be hard to do, but here they cut through it like a missile. Their footsteps would be heard from underneath, but those in the first carriage would not notice, however the second carriage still had shadows on watch. As they sprinted down, they could hear some clambering behind them as a large, thick-bodied shadow climbed up onto the roof.

"Intruders on the roof!"

"Allow me a moment, Napoleon!", Seiji turned with all the drama of a theatre actor, and in a wide swing pulled his phone out and tapped it, summoning a figure in blue with two large cannons on it's back, appearing in an aura of red and black flame. He immediately took up a pose, pointing a finger gun at the large shadow, and just as he did his Persona behind him would line it's cannons up to face the front.

"Bang", the cannons fired and destroyed the roofing underneath the Shadow, causing it to fall underneath, ensuring their continued run across was unimpeded.

"Now onwards Signora, we need only reach the head compartment and disable the driver"

BATTLE - Lawless Train Carriage

OST: Daredevil

@Aurkanthis Toma Ishikawa - DAIMON [Hierophant]
@TruthHurts Ayo Suematsu - FREE [Hanged Man]
@Bacon Osamu Ichikawa - BARON [Emperor]
@Digmata Shirona Hoshino - THESPIAN [Lovers]

BARON, DAIMON, FREE, and THESPIAN were the ones to take part in battle. Their job? To clear the carriages out, and do their job they did. A combination of heavy machine-gun fire and a blade would take down the nearest Garm immediately, while leaving the other riddled with bullets. The Orthrus being so large had definitely taken more than a few shots, but it did not seem to do anything noticable, until it was hit with a light spell, Makouha.

The strike was noticeable, especially to the second Garm, who upon being hit incinerated in the holy light. However, the large Orthrus still stood tall taking the hit. It did not seem to be weak to light at all, but it wasn't resistant either. The Orthrus seeing an opportunity leaped forward for the party and took a swing at at DAIMON, raising it's claws as it executed Fatal End.

FATAL END

The claw strike would leave DAIMON no worse for wear. Just a single strike, nothing he couldn't handle, especially with a melee weapon out he could attempt to guard against the strike more effectively than if he had a gun out. But this was not a life threatening attack by any account, if he chose to just stand and bear it too. He had allies to support him, so there was no poor option.

In the midst of all this the group would hear a loud bang in the carriage up ahead too followed by a thud.

Persona: Black Crown

Just a heads up. I'm aware the holiday season is approaching full swing so some of our availability will be non-existent. If you can post great, if not, I'm expecting us all back after the new year anyway.

I only ask that when that period is over we all just chime back in here.

Persona: Black Crown

I might have something for you two when we take the train over.

The hum of the train riding the tracks through the open barren plain with the occasional bump and notch was a trance of it's own kind, one that those who ride will find themselves entering, whether it be consciously, or subconsciously. As Thespian stepped forward, her entry into the cabin both unnoticed and unannounced, her comment delivered with such endearment, words so sly that one could practically feel the manipulation in their bones. In a way one could see she was familiar with giving backhanded remarks.

The two shadows looked startled as they listened to her, both looking at her before the one who was about to pay up glared right at his game partner. "You conniving little- You said you'd stop doin' that!" Everyone else who heard that could not help but pity the poor Shadow for being so gullible, yet as this was not the first time, he had only himself to blame.

"Now-now hold on! I was just...! Just uhhh..."

"Awright that's it, no more talkin' outta this one pardner, gonna put some holes into ya and maybe you'll sing some honesty!", oh he was really doing it. The Shadow began to reach for his iron, but his sly partner began to do the same.

It all happened in an instant. Both shadows drew as quick as they could and fired, their bullets striking their faces as their heads turned into a thick red splatter, familiar with whenever they squashed shadows before they could attack. Their forms melted into a black ooze before returning to the mindscape that was the Metarealm.

"Oi! What's all that ruckus!" A voice further down the cabin could be heard as a shadow walked over,

"Huh?! Who're you lot! No nevermind, none of you 'er supposed to be here!"

OST: Daredevil

It's form began to shiver as it's body burst, like a cage that contained something within, it's body disassembled itself, creating an array that formed an orb swirling like ink and blood, and then bursting forth. Standing before the group was a two headed dog, large in size, with an orange coat and a green mane, and uniquely a tail that appeared more like that of a spiny lizard's.

"Boys we got company!", it's cry warned the other two shadows in the back. Their forms changed, bursting forth from the same black transformation sequence as two blood red dogs with sharp, violent teeth and a large spiked collar arrived, flanking the Orthrus from either side.

Battle Start, Carriage Group

ENEMIES

• x1 Orthrus (Large)
• x2 Garm (Normal)

The party has the initiative. Thanks to Thespian's little stunt, the party had ample time to move into position and strike.

The Rooftop Crew will now begin moving. If you're part of that group, please wait for the next update.
