[open] Who wants to go dungeon crawling?

[ding_bots_are_done]

Hello, this is Agatha Heterodyne.


[She's getting right to the point on this one.]


I'm looking for volunteers to join me on an expedition to investigate the ruins in the Gemini district. It's likely to be dangerous, so I'd prefer people with some combat experience. But the trapezohedron was found in that ruin, so I think it'll be worth the trip. Let me know if you're interested.


[She's about to go back to adjusting one of her dingbots when she remembers one other thing.]


And on a side note, the people I gave those experimental weapons to still haven't reported back. Did they work well enough? Did you experience any difficulties?

"I have a few prototype guard robots. They aren't me, and they're in the prototype stages. I think another few tests will be needed to get past that, but if you don't mind, I can probably bring those."

[ding_bots_are_done]

Sounds good to me.


How soon can you have them ready? I was planning on doing this in about two weeks.

[electricyousei]

"Oh, they're active. Just there are some glitches with targeting systems and Omoikane getting used to being in 5 units as well as his normal ship. But I'm guessing you know about AI disassociation issues."

[hello_mgann]

I'd be willing to help you out. A good old fashioned mission might be just what I need.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Great! I was planning on going about two weeks from now. Can you be ready by then?

[hello_mgann]

Yeah, I don't need a lot of prep time so I'm good to go whenever.

[He'll just put a filter on this reply, because there's certain people in the city who are better not knowing he's packing some serious heat.]

Detective Bobby Fulbright, reporting in! In justice we trust!

Up until now, the experimental guns have given me no trouble. Their effectiveness seems to differ between demons, but I guess that has to do with their elements? [He sounds very unsure about that hypothesis.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

Great! I think it's likely that the elemental effectiveness is always going to vary, regardless of the strength of the weapon.

Either way, if they're working it means I can move to the next phase.

[spiritofjustice]

The next phase? What would that be, if I may ask?

"If it's dangerous, why do you go?" No offence. Sébastien is trying to figure out what makes everybody else throw themselves at danger like it was a stash of candies.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Because someone has to.

[It's obvious to her. But maybe she should elaborate.]

If we don't follow every potential lead, we'll never unravel any of the mysteries surrounding this place. And the Trapezohedron is at the heart of most of them.

[maleenpointes]

"Is that essential? I mean, in theory, we could spend our life here, right? ... not that this place is great, with the demons and the personas and everything..." Y'know, in the end, this place was pretty crap when it came right down to it...

[...DUNGEON CRAWLING, YOU SAY]

May I go? I do have experience dealing with demons, which I assume are going to be the danger.

...But what's a 'trapezohedron'?

[video]

[ding_bots_are_done]

Sure, we could use one more.

The trapezohedron is an artifact that can connect different worlds temporarily. I believe it's tied in with both keeping us here and potentially getting us out.

[jonathandammit]

[...Well then]

I'll be sure to attend, then. What do we plan to do once we find the trapezohedron, though?

[swordsaintseta]

Agatha-san, hello! It's been a while. [He smiles.]

Ruins, you say? I think I might be interested, if you have room for me.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Soujirou! It has been a while. Not since the, um.... hotel.

[Smiles right back.]

I'm sure I can fit you in, if you want to join us.

[swordsaintseta]

[He scratches his head as he chuckles. Yeaaah, since that.]

Yes, I'd very much like to.

[deathboss]

I'm in.

[And he looks unusually serious about this.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

[Straight to the point. She can appreciate that.]

I appreciate the enthusiasm. Do you mind if I ask what your persona specializes in?

[deathboss]

Hades and I are a one man show, babe! Water, Light and Dark!

[badluckhealer]

[Oh, she remembers this lady. Vaguely. They met when Heterodyne first arrived, right? ... She thinks. Anyway.]

...I am not much of a combatant, but I am good at healing. Would that in any way be an asset to your expedition?

[ding_bots_are_done]

Healing is always useful. This expedition is going to be pretty dangerous though. Can you at least defend yourself?

[OOC: I will absolutely fit her in if I can, but I don't know if I can manage to do a combat heavy log for more than six people. orz.]

[egotrigger]

If you need more people, I can help.

[... Probably.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

I might. Although I got far more volunteers than I expected.

[OOC: I will try to fit him in, but I don't think I can fit more than 6 characters into the log because it's likely to be combat heavy. ^^; ]
