Fighten shadows and taking names and possible running if need be

Who: Onimaru Miki and anyone who posts.
What: A first encounter with the shadows that doesn't go as planned.
Where: On the streets of Prospero.
When: Sunday, September 11, during the dark hour.


It had been a long day of running around and delivering packages to people for Miki. Her new job here in Prospero was a bit more enjoyable than delivering food back home, since people didn't seem to mind if you showed up twenty minutes late with their packages, since letters don't really get cold.

They did however get somewhat angrier when Miki showed up with their packages completely ruined. So after a day full of being yelled at Miki began to drag herself back to the Bayview Hotel to watch some late night movies and fall asleep. However, her somewhat ambling walk home had been interrupted by the world around Miki going weird and the appearance of two shadows.

Miki stopped to size up the two creatures, one a Dancing Hands, the other a Visceral Maya.

"So you're the things that have been causing all of the trouble in this town." Miki said as she moved into a fighting stance, daring the two things to come after her. "I may be tired, but I'll never need coffee to clean up a couple of punk monsters like you."

In an instant Miki was within a foot of the Dancing Hands, and in a flurry of blows takes the creature down. With a toothy smile and a skilled turn, Miki comes down on the Visceral Maya...

...and nothing happens.

Confused, Miki starts to say something only to have whatever words that were there are knocked out of her as the shadow bashes her into a wall. Stunned at the shadow's strength, she stes herself for another attack. but instead of fleeing a different thought takes over her mind. As if possessed, Miki's mouth begins to move, calling forth a power that has been hidden within her since she arrived at Prospero.

"ARES!"

The words are enough to bring forth a hulk of a man clad in golden armor and a crimson cape, all of which is tinged with dried blood. Slowly and deliberately the magical man brings his fist down on the shadow, only the find that it too is completely ineffective against the creature.

As the Persona dissolves back into the aether Miki protests loudly.

"Oh come on! I finally get one of these persona things and it's completely worthless?"

The shadow creeps closer as Miki stands ready, thinking on what her next move should be.

'Atropos! Zio!"

Suddenly, a lightning bolt crashes down on the Maya. Whether it'll have an effect, Kaiji's not sure. That doesn't mean he won't try.

Kaiji stands behind Miki, his Persona fading away next to him.

"Hey, are you--" Oh, it's the crazy lady from other day. Great.

"Yeah, that was me. Sometimes physical attacks don't work, so back away, before you get hit. I don't know what this one can do."

"There's a lot of different ones. Some things don't work on them."

Kaiji backs up, and calls out his persona again, blasting the shadow with another lightning bolt. With the shadow stunned, Kaiji takes out a small digital camera from his pocket and snaps a photo of the monster.

"This is why we need to catalog them."

No, they're not. And I've been saying this place is like some kinda comic book or video game. Glad I'm not alone.

Sometimes, yeah. There was a big shadow attack on the casino not long ago. Before that, everyone in town started getting weird. Flocking to the casino in droves.

[He looks around.] If you don't feel like fighting these things off for the next hour, I suggest getting inside the hotel.

That's your Persona. You can call him out to help.

You don't have to go all night, at least. This shit only goes on for one hour every night, then it's over until the next night.

[...Why so crazy.]

H-Hey! You shouldn't...!

[Kaiji sighs and runs after her. He'll stay as her backup for the rest of the Dark Hour, though it seems like she can handle herself pretty damn well.]
