0 0 1 » THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT

A new function has appeared on the communication device for some characters: a strange symbol with an eye, and no obvious use. Do you try to delete it? It might work, for a little while. But it comes back, no matter what lengths you take to get rid of this thing.

If a character chooses to run the app, they'll find that it's called the Metanav, and it speaks to them in a feminine voice: "Please enter a destination." It seems to want a voice command.

Unfortunately, any combination of words you try will result in a gentle error sound and that voice saying, "Conditions have not been met." There's no lock-out or limit to how many attempts you can make, and it will keep rejecting every try.

(As a note of interest, the name Goro Akechi in full, spoken anywhere near a device that carries the Metanav -- a one in a million chance, sure, but coincidences happen -- will earn a victorious chime from the app and a triumphant, "Destination found." But from there it seems to want more keywords...)

0 0 2 » ENTER THE METAVERSE

A few days after the Metanav appearing for some residents of the station, someone is definitely putting it to use. But Reverie is a close-quarters situation, and not every corner and corridor can be checked before turning on the app. On top of that, some devices are activating the Metanav on their own, without a destination at all -- people are being dragged in left and right.

You feel something strange wash over you, like vertigo. But nothing seems to have happened. You're still in the station, and your surroundings are... mostly normal. Actually, something isn't quite right. It's hard to put your finger on it; the air feels wrong, heavy, and the shadows are darker, the station even more unsettling than usual.

And everyone around you is gone.

You can search for hours, and maybe you'll find one or two other unfortunate souls in the same situation as you, but that's it. The rest of the station's residents have vanished.

If you have the Metanav app on your communication device, you're in luck: using it will bring you right back to the station as normal, like sliding between one plane of reality to another. If you don't have the Metanav... you're stuck. Alone.

0 0 3 » HERE THERE BE SHADOWS

Wandering around the strange "other" station is mostly uneventful. Everything about it seems to be unchanged in terms of layout; the same doors are still blocked off, the rooms are in the same locations, the view from the Observation Deck is the vast expanse of space...

But you're not as alone here as you thought.

There are monsters. They come in various shapes and sizes, some of them humanoid and some of them far from it. There don't seem to be a lot of them around, so it's easy to miss them entirely, but if you do run into them, they'll attack without hesitation, and some of them are strong.

If you can fight back: magic is most effective against them in every case. Fighting them physically is a strange case, because if you think it will work, it will, no matter what your weapon. If you don't think it'll work, then it won't.

If you can't fight back, and nobody comes to save you: you're dead. At least you'll wake up in the real world.

0 0 4 » YOU'RE NOT ME

There's one more thing populating the "other" station. They come and go at random, sometimes there and sometimes not -- strange, spectral images of other people. Their faces are vague and they don't seem to have any interest in you, seeming to talk to themselves even when you try to get their attention, but they're definitely people. They have enough features to tell them apart, and some of them seem almost familiar.

One of them is you.

It's not a clear image, just enough to be distinguishable, but it is you. Like looking at your own ghost. Its eyes, though -- its eyes are a little bit wrong. Yellowish.



This plot was brought to you by your Persona cast! All players who have signed up can have the Metaverse app appear on their communicators. The Phantom Thieves are here to rescue anyone who wants their heart stolen, and are available to discuss plotting. Once the Metaverse appears on Reverie, it will not disappear.

» WHO? Hajime Hinata/open mingle
» WHEN? end of June
» WHERE? the bar, near the VR room
» WHAT? Hajime found a Nantendo 64 console, Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Super Smash Bros. Game night, anyone?
» WARNINGS? none? i'll edit if need be but y'all please

@hinatahajime;
hey, uh... i found a nantendo 64 console and some games in the command center. so add that to the list of random crap we've found, i guess

the better news is that it's all multiplayer stuff. there's a racing game, a party game, and a fighting game. i'm going to test it all out and make sure it works, but assuming it does, would anybody mind if i set it up in the bar near the VR room? i'd like to get a bunch of people together so we can really test the multiplayer. if it all works i'll probably just leave it there so anyone can play it

mingle; open!
[As he said in his earlier post to the network, he's set up the Nantendo-brand console near the VR room, plugged into one of the terminals. There are four controllers plugged into the console that definitely look like NES controllers, but they all work. There's also three games to choose from! Mario Marco's Carts, Marco's Party, and Excellent Slam Sisters Fisticuffs (Smash Bros. It's Smash Bros.) All game avatars are strangely customizable and surprisingly good at rendering what the player actually looks like, but it's fine. Don't question it too much.]

a; set-up
[--Is actually surprisingly easy. Hajime had been a little concerned about what kind of nest of wires he'd have to deal with, but once the system is hooked up to the terminal itself, it powers on just like normal.]

It doesn't need a power source, huh...? Does it charge wirelessly like my Game Girl...?

[Now that he's looking at it more closely, he doesn't even see a place for a cord to plug into the wall. Well that's weird.]

I guess I'll try Marco's Carts first...

[Sorry if you were trying to enjoy your drinks in peace. Hajime has a bad habit of talking out loud to himself when he thinks he's alone.]

b; vidya gaem
[Once people have actually started showing up, whether they meant to or not, Hajime's pretty quick to surrender controllers and encourage them to play. Have a seat, try not to ruin any friendships with Marco's Party. Turn them into drinking games? He won't stop you. Not that he doesn't want to play, too, but he'll play later. For now, he's happy watching other people play. It's almost enough to forget how terrible the station can be. Almost.

He brought his handheld Nantendo Game Girl, too, but the only game on that is a single-player Galaga Gala Omega. He's not playing it right now, but it's on the table nearby if anybody wants to try their hand at it.]

Have you ever played any of these before? They're pretty popular where I come from.

c; wildcard
[Hajime's going to be hanging around for a while, on-hand to fix any technical errors that might come up with the console (just blow in the cartridge, it's fine) or just chat about video games, home, hanging out, etc. I'm also gonna be tagging top-levels when I can so. points at eyes points at yall]

» WHO? Team Door… that’s EVERYONE because you’re all automatically drafted now, congratulations
» WHEN? Forward dated to 15th June
» WHERE? The door with the porthole on Deck 2
» WHAT? Eight hours’ worth of beating up a door
» WARNINGS? None

Team Door have identified a likely-looking door to attack! This door, located on Deck 2, has a porthole through which some blinking lights can be seen. It’s the most likely-looking door to go for, so this is how things will unfold:

1. Feel free to handwave that Apollo, Kaldur or Amos (or anyone else involved) has been in touch with your character to let them know that door shenanigans are about to go down
2. With Amos’s space engineering expertise they manage to depressurise an area around the door, effectively creating a small airlock within a section of the corridor
3. The general plan is to overwhelm the door, so that whoever is tackling it first uses whatever force they can to try to open it until they have to tap out from exhaustion, and then they get swapped out for the next person and so on and so forth
4. It will then take characters some 8 hours of flinging themselves/their powers at the door. The exhaustion and weakness that comes with attempting to damage the station will increasingly hamper their progress
5. There will be no visible progress in the first three hours but eventually cracks will start to appear and on the eighth hour the door will give
6. Once the door gives way, the mods will let us know what magical things will be found on the other side... (edit: looks like this will be announced OOCly by the mods before the 15th)
