The time had come and just as Signora and Baron virtually open fired upon the entire convoy of Shadows, immediately slaying a few weaker ones, while the ones remaining fell back and transformed into their true forms, Noblesse was already on the move. A swiftly moving shadow upon the rafters would swish past and overhead the counters and tellers who stood up and looked at the commotion. The station office in the back was his target...

----------

OST: Keeper of Lust -Scramble-

The Shadows that Signora and Baron had attacked were none too pleased, and while their attention were now fixed upon them, Thespian would find it quite easy to slip past them. When she checked on Seiji's flame, there was a distinct sense of excitement, but also a tinge of violence. He was... Having fun? Though that little bit of violence she detected felt far too extreme for the situation. Still regardless, it was like looking at a wolf hunting prey.

"Intruders! Intruders!... What the hell're you yeller'bellies doin'?! Get out there!" The larger shadow in charge who had also taken cover was barking orders, despite also cowering away. The subordinates looked at each other with a bit of fear before finally jumping out, their forms changing in a blanket of black shadowy ooze as Garms and Orthrus appeared. The larger one would finally emerge too, his form changing and shifting as the long, white body of an Inugami emerged and began to attack.

Just as it appeared like the players were lined up for the match, the glass window of the station's office shattered as two people came flying out of it. A black-clad man wearing what appeared to be a scarf and bandana in Chimeratix's colours, and Noblesse himself, who based on the pose, kicked him through the window, immediately chasing after him. It was... A human? Not a shadow. While that wasn't an unusual sight in the Metarealm they normally traversed, somehow it was a bit of a surprise here. The Chimeratix member brushed himself off, getting up as he faced the situation around him, Noblesse slowly walking towards the group as he introduced their target to the fight.

"Aw man! This was supposed to be an easy gig, just sit here in the Domain all day and make easy cash... And you you blue caped asshole, I turn around and there's a boot in my face! Didn't even say hi! I'm gonna make you pay especially...", the Chimeratix member reached into his pocket and pulled his smartphone out, tapping it as a red flame enveloped him too, but rather than the special Personas the group all possessed, his was a normal one. Appearing behind him was a tall figure with a stone mask and hammer, he called it's name, "Ippon-Datara!"

"Hmph, now let's take them out, all at once!", Noblesse's declaration to the Liberation Brigade rang loudly as Napoleon appeared behind him, ready to fight.

@yoshua171 barely. If you're interested I'll give you the low down.
@EnterTheHero Well long time no see. How long's it been now since the last Persona RP?
Unfortunately the guy told me he's pulling out so like yeah unfortunate, but that's ok. Now's a pretty bad time to try jump in. Once we're out of the metarealm introduction it'll be a lot easier for new players to come in.

The moment Signora began to ensnare the shadows, her captive audience having their eyes glued to her, some even waving and encouraging her like a fan would an idol, Noblesse had begun to move. Like a shadow he slipped through the crates and into blind spots. What was most important here was for him to identify the crux of this whole operation, who most likely resided in an office somewhere in the station building. Well, that probably wasn't hard to find, it was most likely somewhere by the money counters and teller shadows.

The larger shadow talking to Baron began to waver as it was affected by two authorities, though the one in front of him demanded greater priority. The story he was given explained everything but he couldn't help but feel it was just a little off... However, that wasn't it's problem.

"Alright fine, no need to mention the big kahuna. Oi you lot! Stop gawkin' and get the goods off the train!" It seems they bought it. Just as he makes that command the shadows start to swarm around the cargo carriages, which were a bit further down the tracks, spreading them out further from the shadows working guard and counter at the station.

As this all went on, Thespian would find something interesting. As she monitored the little flames of her authority, she would notice something that stood out... She can of course recognize the flames of humans, that being her current team mates Noblesse, Signora, and Baron, but there was another... Much further back, so it was faint. As she watched, she would notice the signature belonging to Noblesse was closing in on it. That must be his target.

Meanwhile, Baron and Signora who had eyes on the station itself could see Noblesse, peeking through the rafters after he makes it past the awning and into the main building. He was taking it slow where he was, but as soon as any of them made eye contact with him, he did a signal with his hand, clenching his fist. Pick a moment, pick a target, go wild.
Yeah I haven't forgotten, I've bumped them.

They can make their entry here.
I am glad there are at least 3 people, because that's the standard starting number for party members in Persona anyway.

I do also hope we actually get to go pretty far because every Domain has it's own gimmick based on the theme of the area. It might not take long to figure out what a western themed area with the outlaws running the country is going to be though.

Also yes, there will be other human characters as enemies throughout each Domain who are loyal to the Sovereign.

The rumble of the train speeding along the tracks accompanied by the feeling of the sun within this domain. It smelled of burning coal as they began to move to their positions, with Noblesse producing what appeared to be a scarf, handing it to Baron as a disguise. He would recognize it as a scarf popularly used by Chimeratix.

"It's quite alright", he placed his hand on his shoulder reassuring him. "You need only keep them occupied for a little while, diplomacy was never the plan", saying something so brazen with such a calm, almost gleeful expression was truly an interesting experience, he gave Baron a thumbs up before hearing Signora pipe up.

"Ah indeed, it might work on shadows for a little while which should give us ample opportunity".

The settlement began to become visible on the horizon, and Noblesse began to move to his own spot for hiding, which was just the passenger car right before the driver. Among the boxes of fake gold too, which he saw Thespian see fit to slide right into and submerge herself.

>>>> ARRIVAL >>>>
Hachiko Town


OST: Suspicion

As the train drew closer to it's destination, BARON in the driver's compartment would be able to see it... A proud, looming figure of a noble dog that seemed to look over the town. Setup in front of the town like a welcome monument you would see entering a town somewhere in the west, although he could only infer that it was proud from the way it was displayed. He recognized it, rife with graffiti and tags, along with the symbol of the Chimeratix messily sprayed on it's side. It sat on a large podium, and stood perhaps his height at least twice over, looking almost exactly like another very familiar dog in Shibuya, the Hachiko. As if that wasn't obvious enough, the signboard below it read "Hachiko Town".

As the train rolled into town, peeking out from the windows one could see the place was in quite a state, houses half repaired or half destroyed, trash lining the edges of the street, creating a sort of make-shift pathway where people have swept it aside, graffiti tags everywhere from small, to entire murals. The train station was uniquely not as poorly kept, perhaps because it was bustling and in constant use by a group of Shadows. They seemed to be preparing to receive of the cargo on this train.

It eventually pulled in, the big lever would allow the train to stop, and a button or two letting it's engines cease to fire up.

"This cargo's late! What was the holdup? We'd been sittin' on our asses for the last few minutes", it must've been when the train had to stop when the group arrived in this world... Still, Baron had a great view of what they had on offer here for the group to clear out.

Several shadows were in the far back, seated, sorting, or moving supply. A couple back there seemed to be on lookout. In front there were a few more, two or three already headed to the cargo carriages to start moving the loot, with a few more watching the process as guards. The one talking to Baron right this moment was a bit bigger, likely a greater shadow like before with Cerberus. There were a great number of cargo boxes at the station though, perfect for using to sneak around, not to mention the back of the station was quite dark save for a few hanging lights that illuminated tables filled to the brim with gold, being counted by shadows that looked like bank tellers. The roof was also high enough that one could feasibly jump up onto the station's awning without giving much opportunity to be spotted.

"The boss is gonna be real mad, heard it was high alert, so this is just gonna give him more work! Well whatever if we get it off quickly enough no one will notice right?" The shadow looked up and down the train. Nothing looked out of place, except for one thing...

"You look like the boss though, where was the other guy? Weren't there a driver with ya?" At the very least... It seems like he expected to see someone from Chimeratix, or at least, it wasn't strange for him to see one.

One-Shot Kill


With dramatic flair Noblesse pointed his finger in the motif of a gun at the white beast, his usual grin visible as his Persona behind him took a stance, the massive cannons on it's back flipping over to point their barrels at the Cerberus while it struggled against the onslaught from both Thespian and Signora. First, the rapid and quick attacks from Thespian would serve to keep it from moving too far uncontested, while the skewering singing arrows of Signora's Double Shot pierced it's legs, causing the Cerberus to roar in pain and buckle. Black ash and red flames bursting from the open wounds caused by their attacks.

"Bang", with a cool grin the young man draped in blue would cock his arm as if firing, and simultaneously Napoleon's cannons would fire in unison, two hurtling bolts that spiraled before joining into one strike. For a moment it might pierce it's head and end the fight, but it managed to swerve it's head, the singular shot instead grazing deep against it's side. Though it avoided immediate fatality, it suffered major damage.

"Now for the finishing touch! Baron!"

As if on cue, Baron's Mafrei would litter the entire half of the carriage where Cerberus stood, and in a brilliant display of blue and white, illuminated the group in a dramatic display. The young man would make a pose turning around and away, taking the chance to enjoy the moment. Within the blue hellscape, the Cerberus flailed until it could no longer, and as Baron's attack subsided, it's cratered body was collapsing and fragmented, red flames erupted from missing areas, before it would begin to disappear, like watching fire burn and devour a sheet of paper, and then, not even ash remained.

"Hmph! Well done! Though we have no time to lose", he walked over to the end of the compartment, and there it was, a door leading into the driver's compartment. He looked over to the group... Right. the driver's compartment was as one would expect, a big furnace and driver's wheel and controls. No one was here right now though, supposedly because the Shadow that was meant to drive this had turned into a great white beast.

"We should be arriving in just a few minutes so I'll cut right to the point, when we arrive to the settlement, there'll be a group of shadows to receive cargo. They seem to recognize Chimeratix members though", he turned his gaze over to Baron.

"As a former member, you ought to know a little of how to speak like them. Just talk with the shadows at the checkpoint, the rest of us will sneak out and take a position", the plan was rather straightforward. The idea of stealth was useful as he'd said, just not during the train itself.

"If you need any clues Baron, all I know is Chimeratix members often do 'inspections' around here, it seems these trains are just autonomously done by groups of shadows"

Sunday - Deep Night




"That won't be necessary Sara", the familiar voice of a mature, refined woman reached the ears of the young girl as Shoko landed just a couple metres away. She had with her Darius and Tony, who both appeared not long after her arrival jumping down from the rooftops. The two appeared to have a different air about them, similar to Bakuto who had just awakened his zanpakuto... Or rather, it was pretty obvious Tony had awakened his, given the new shape of his weapon.

"I see the battle here has ended too, a moment of respite then it seems. Tatsuha has informed me too that the horde of Hollow tonight have stemmed, so we shall take this chance to rest up", she began, pacing up the street, it seems most everyone has suffered a few wounds, particularly the three who had awakened their zanpakuto, but any moment now their surge in reiatsu will stop, and their wounds will start affecting them.

"Hmm, you three, please be seated. I will see to your wounds. Everyone else, make preparations to go meet Tatsuha", her tone was direct, serious, though it seemed she will be taking some time to treat them. She started with Bakuto, whose wounds seemed to be the most active. It was miraculous seeing the hole in Tony's chest be completely healed, was it a part of his zanpakuto's ability? And Darius, though his wounds were open, they did not bleed, likely something to do with his zanpakuto's attribute being defensive.




A lone soul sat upon the bench under the moonlight, blood dripping down his bandaged hands and cheek, his smile slight and tired. A wooden sword stuck in the ground beside him as he finally found a moment of respite. He pulled out what seemed to be a small green candy and popped it in his mouth, though his wounds did not heal, his energy was back. "Gotta thank the candy shop lady for these, they can't heal wounds but they'll keep ya goin'".

Tatsuha pulled out the phone from his pocket as he watched the moonlight, sending a message that things had calmed down... For now.

"But he's still at that tree I can feel it... Now that all the hollow are gone I can definitely feel it...", there was a bad feeling he had. What was it about that tree that got hollow so worked up or rather, made this one so fixated on it? Regalhorn was more than just a mindless hollow, one of the most intelligent recorded that were not vasto lordes. Most were beasts, and at most became gangs, but this one seemed to lord over them more like a king than a gang leader. Well, he had a feeling they were going to find out why they were fixated on that tree tonight... But he had not the energy just yet to go for it, not to mention, he got a couple messages from Shoko... Some of them have awakened their Shikai tonight... For a moment he was glad to hear that, but the next... How did they do it so quickly...?
