TESTING POST: SNOWY PARTY TIME

[stringmods]

Ahh Hinoto-Ri. City of lights, questionable wards, the 13th Hour and Personas.

SCENARIO 1
We hope you arrived in warm clothing because if not you'll sure be in for a surprise!



Hinoto-Ri is covered in snow! First you show up in a strange new place and now you're freezing cold. Maybe it's just a dream? But...you remember the man who said you were here as a special guest...don't you? Is this the city you're supposed to save?

SCENARIO 2
But tonight, there's a very old time feeling. That's right, there's a party!

It seems some demons got their hands on older musical classics. As you walk the streets tonight, you'll find the city getting into it, complete with outfits and dancing demons.

...what a way to first show up. But is this just a dream? You remember the man who said you were here as a special guest...don't you? You just hope he didn't mean some sort of dancing contest...

[[OOC - Welcome to the test post! Don't worry too much about Persona stats or your levels here, just come out and make up a scenario about what they are doing. Try out your potentials and interact with the city around you! We'll supply some NPCs once in a while when you least expect it (after all have to test those out too, right?)]]

Undoubtedly, she must have looked terrifying. Of all things to encounter suddenly after falling unconscious on an alien planet and waking up on another, she hadn't been expecting civilians on a city street.

Before she'd totally gained her senses, Samus had quite accidentally pulled her arm cannon on several of said civilians standing around her in the snow, sending them screaming and running. Realizing her mistake, she put away her canon and held out a hand in a gesture to get them to calm down and wait, but the street had been cleared before she could even say a word of apology. Well, so much for first impressions.

Putting a hand to the side of her visor, Samus scans for her location, her suit calculating the atmosphere of the planet to be completely hospitable to human life, and noting the structures and general area to be primitive, but man-made. In fact, the readings all seemed to suggest she was on...

Earth?? How...

When she made attempts to contact the Galactic Federation and any of the Aurora Units she'd been linked to, she gets nothing but static. Wonderful.

Samus walks down the street, cannon dropped by her side and one hand holding it down in a gesture saying that she meant no harm. She wasn't about to get out of her suit in this weather, though.

Along her way she will encounter a certain angel standing and gawking at her. It's not the same kind of fearful, uncertain gawking she's been receiving as she walks through Hinoto-Ri. No, this is an excited, awe-struck gawk (which in turn is winning him some stares of the negative variety, as his wings are stretched out and quite in the way).

Were he feeling up to Japanese, this would be the part where he says "Sugoiii".

[greyerrant]

An 8 foot tall warrior in war-plate stares her down, unsure if he should draw his own bolter or chainsword and lay into this... armored warrior.

"State your business."

He booms.

[screwattack]

Instinct twitches in her as she almost raises her cannon to aim at the warrior before her, but she stops herself, firmly pushing her arm down by her side and getting into a stance that showed she wasn't hostile. While he still managed to tower over her, at over 6 feel tall herself with some added height from her suit and the experience of fighting creatures about three times her size on a regular basis, he doesn't do much to intimidate her. Only put her on edge.

As she looks at him, her visor is scanning him and calculating his threat level, displaying words in the corner of her vision:

Species not recognized. Physically powerful. Heavily armed and dangerous. Sentient, does not seem to be attacking on sight. Use extreme caution.

"My name is Samus Aran, I am a space hunter. I was sent on a mission by the Galactic Federation, I was previously on the planet Bryyo... before I fell unconscious and woke up here. I'm currently unaware of my situation." This one seemed like a guardian of this place, she must have looked like a serious threat. Whoops.

[greyerrant]

"Come on then, I'll get you to the apartments. I'm Cerberus. A Legiones ast.... A Space Marine."

He turns his back on Samus, leading to the apartments without further comment. Apparently, the wolf prefers to be silent, most of the time.

[screwattack]

"I'd like an explanation of my situation before I'm lead away," she says, giving a firm protest and keeping herself firmly planted in her spot in the snow. "Are you with the Federation's military?" Samus still hasn't entirely caught on to the fact that she's been drawn to a different universe.

[greyerrant]

"No. I serve the Imperium of Man, and I've been sent here, like you. We're fighting for the soul of humanity, so it would appear." He halts, looking back to her with his red-slitted helm.

"A worthy goal, don't you think?"

[screwattack]

"Fighting for the soul of humanity?" It certainly sounds valiant, but also enormously too vague. And she didn't like being drawn into things against her own will.

"I need to get back to my mission. The galaxy... the universe as a whole is in danger and my mission is to prevent destruction from the dangerous substance known as Phazon." There's a slight sense of urgency in her voice, though it's more a forceful insisting than it is legitimate panic. "How did I arrive here? How can I get back? Explain to me where I am and what my situation is."

[greyerrant]

"You're in Hinoto-Ri, and you can go back home whenever you like. No time will have passed. It is your choice if you wish to join this undertaking or not. I myself am sojourning here for a moment from my duties in a galaxy-wide civil war, because I know I'm needed here as well. Time is strange here... and so no time passes back at your home."

He shrugs his armored shoulders, "I don't know your specific mechanism of arrival because it is rather vague. All I know is that you're here now, and we've found you. It is your choice as to what you'll do about it."

[screwattack]

It takes a moment for all of that to sink in, Samus watching the warrior carefully as she considers her situation... According to him, she was in a pocket of space-time, a dimension completely outside of her own where her actions and time spent had no effect on the outside. And to be honest, she found herself trusting his word on this, if only because he looked to be built for war. He looked out of place here, much like she did. And if he wasn't concerned about returning, she doubted she had much reason to be either.

The bounty hunter takes a long time to consider her options before a voice deep in the back of her mind sways her decision and she stands alert, giving a slow salute.

"The dream I had before awaking here told me that I would be a part of a fight here... My only wish is to protect the innocent. If I'm needed here, I'll stay."

[greyerrant]

He removes his helm then, exposing craggy, if roughly handsome features, framed in blond hair so light as to be nearly silver, and rumbles.

"We should get you situated then."


He'll turn away, walking once again towards the apartments where she can find a place.
