[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?

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.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Right. And since they won't let me do proper tests on the trapezohedron itself, this is the next best way to get information about it.

[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?

[spiritofjustice]

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

[electricyousei]

"Do you think they've been amassing data on it on their own? If there's a data feed I could try to see if it is open for accessing."

[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...

[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.

[deathboss]

I'm in.

[And he looks unusually serious about this.]

[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?

[egotrigger]

If you need more people, I can help.

[... Probably.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

Normally I'd say 'of course they are.' What scientist could resist? But Kandori strikes me as.....

[She spends a moment trying to think of a nice way to put this.]

...lazy and uninspired. I'm not sure he cares to do anything but keep it locked up and wait for answers to fall from the sky.

[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?

[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.]

[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.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Well, yes.... This place isn't bad, and I could certainly understand if someone wanted to just live here forever.

But some of us..... left things behind. Things we have to get back to.

[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. ^^; ]

[ding_bots_are_done]

Umm... we're not looking for it.

[She figures he must be new though, so she elaborates.]

It's already locked up in one of the government labs. We're investigating the ruins where it was found. To try to learn more about it.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Well, it's too inconvenient to carry around all those separate guns, right? So now I need to build one that can switch between elements.

[egotrigger]

Sure, just let me know.

How have you been?

[[ooc; No worries!]]

[swordsaintseta]

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

Yes, I'd very much like to.

[badluckhealer]

...I...have pepper spray. And also engaged in rudimentary combat due to the Shadow incident some time ago.

[ooc: That's fine, that's fine! I'm okay if this Aggie's left out because, well, as she just said...not much of a fighter. XD Just wanted to toss her at people, really!]

[spiritofjustice]

Oooh, that's a great idea! Count me in for testing when you're done building it.

[...] As for the expedition, does police training, experience with wielding guns and occasional demon fighting here in Hinoto-ri count as 'combat experience'?

[electricyousei]

"Kandori strikes me as greedy for something and information is not it. Like the researchers at the institute I was raised in. Still, I am the one who rebuilt the data network and they're not using my backbone anymore, but I do know how it is designed to some degree. Shame really, data theft is more interesting than a lot of tedious chores I've had here."

[jonathandammit]

Oh.

[HE'S NOT THIS MUCH OF AN IDIOT 80% OF THE TIME HE SWEARS] Do we know the layout of the ruins?
