[015: Video/Action: Forward Dated to May 2nd]

[technologic]

[When the video feed turns on, the image is blurred, as though the phone is being moved fast. Though it soon steadies and focuses on one April leaning against a wall, who looks worn-out and covered in cuts and scrapes, and there's one heavily bleeding wound on her shoulder, but she still manages to give a wry smile.]

So, ah, I'm guessing the newest thing is having your Personas attack you, huh? Ugh, I didn't know they would hit this hard... [There's a slight grimace in pain, before she keeps speaking.] Anyway, I think maybe-

[She's cut off by a bright flash of light which completely obscures the video, and a loud crack, and when the feed clears again, the phone is on the ground a few feet away from April, who is picking herself back up from the ground with a pained groan and a muffled curse. And in front of her is a humanoid rainbow, her Persona. And electricity is already crackling around it again as April gets onto her feet and readies her rifle, glaring up at it.]

Agh, son of a- Fine, c'mon then!

[And it's with another blinding flash of electricity that the feed ends. Any phone replies might be late, due to Persona fighting.]

[Video]

[amnesiadragon]

[It's the Dark Hour, and Ryu is out in the Business District looking for Shadows to fight. Something's wrong, though - he drops his phone in surprise, turning on the video. He's got some bandages on his head, but there's a flash of blue that hits him - and a cry of pain.]

[There's also the sound of a deep roar, and Ryu stumbles over his phone again, shutting it off.]

010 - [Action] | [Video] March 2nd

[crownedexorcist]

[Allen’s on edge.

Ever since people start attacking and losing their temper, Allen’s been on edge. It doesn’t help at all when he saw the video about V/V and Albedo. That encounter’s fresh on his mind and it get to him. There are times when he can’t possibly protect everyone?

The murders. The assault on V/V. All the arguments.

He’s getting sick of it, that it’s affecting his usual mask; a friendly smile and poker face.

Allen doesn’t want to end up arguing with someone, anyone over the network, or with Kanda, right now. So he decided to head outside and train. Timcampy will follow him, like the loyal golem he is. At least with Timcampy nearby, he can find his way around.

Only the golem doesn’t help when his Persona turn against him. It’s around this time that his phone turns on to record.]

Attis--?!

[Ignoring his surprised shouts, the Phrygian god will try to stab Allen with his dagger. Seeing the attack, Allen readies his claws and dodge the attack.] Why aren’t you listening to me?!

[Not answering him, Attis just attacks and attacks. Um, someone help?]

(OOC: Allen will respond to video replies after the battle.)

[action]

[genius_idiot]

[Anyone out during the Dark Hour on May 2 might hear Kaiji yelling into his phone, moments after dispatching some shadows without the help of his Persona, who seems to be acting oddly tonight.]

Saori? Saori! Where are you?! [Seems like he's trying to respond to this call.]

[He just had to go and make such noise. More shadows draw near and he grabs his bat again, shoving the phone in his pocket. He calls forth his Persona for some spells, but nothing happens. Atropos hovers there ominously, only moving her eyes to follow Kaiji as he dispatches the shadows on his own. Once done, he turns to find her still there, and he takes a step back, still brandishing his bat. He's always been creeped out by his Persona.]

What the fuck are you doing!? You want me to get killed out here! I have to fi--

[Sure seems like she's answering his question. Not seeing it coming, Kaiji is hit with a bolt of lightning, sending him flying a few feet away. He tries to pick up his dropped bat, hands charred from holding the metal object, as he tries slowly to get up.]

I-Is this what you want then? Fine! [And he charges at her with sudden speed. Kaiji doesn't have any powers or abilities during the Dark Hour besides his Persona. Someone might want to help him out or stop him...]

[Action/Video (action)]

[trueempress]

[Action, during school hours]

[It appears that Sanaki is... gasp, skipping class. You can find her in the park, at the music store, at lunch in a cafe, generally anywhere besides where she's supposed to be right now.]

[Video/Action, Dark Hour]

Setanta!

[It's hard to see much with how Sanaki's holding the phone to face her, but it's obvious she's running, and running as fast as she's run in her life. There's also a notable wound in her shoulder.]

I would, ah, appreciate any assistance in dealing with my Persona, as he has gone rogue and attacked me - and he is notably faster than me, and shooting him has only briefly slowed him down- [She looks behind her, and quickly turns back and hangs up the phone.]

Third Gambit (Accidental video)

[just_as_planned]

*David didn't turn the phone on this time. Instead, it fell out of his pocket and hit the floor, turning on to record him standing up after rolling to avoid something. He's on the roof of the hotel, frowning at something.*

Well...as much as I appreciate the sneak peek at my Persona, these aren't exactly the circumstances I had in mind.

*His persona moves into view, plunging his spear at David. But this is one rich man who knows how to fight for himself, and he dodges out of the way, sending the giant back a step with a heavy kick that some might recognize as a karate form.*

And here's me without my sling...ah well, I suppose I'll just have to make do.

*Goliath responds by swinging his heavy shield toward David's head, and the feed cuts off just before anyone gets to see if it connects or not.*

(Responses will be delayed ICly because he has a giant to topple. If anyone wants to rush up to the roof to help, feel free to reply with action, although his Persona is only level 1 and thus not much of a threat.)

12th Cheer

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Action; on the roof of the high school; Dark Hour]

[Why is Sakurako on top of the high school during the Dark Hour?  That's a very good question, and one that's not going to be answered here, because there is some more pressing business to take care of first.  Namely, the fact that she's currently locked in single combat with her otherwise cheerful and adorable Persona, Maneki Neko.  Who knew the little guy had a bad side?  Certainly not Sakurako.  At any rate, it's pretty windy up there right now, due to the height of the location and the fact that it's a Wind-based Persona.] 

You too, huh?  Fine, then!  See if I care!  You're a worthless Persona anyway!  You can only fight at night, and you don't even have any healing spells!  Take this!

[Sakurako is yelling and screaming while attempting to unload a full round of bullets into the rogue Persona, though she's a terrible shot and is missing rather badly.  Meanwhile, her Persona is a much better shot, and the sharp wind is slicing into poor Sakurako like hundreds of tiny sickles made of air, shredding her clothing bit by bit and slashing open some rather nasty cuts.  If someone doesn't bail her out, she's probably not going to last much longer.]

⚔ 024; [video/text]

[croibhristeoir]

[The phone wasn't 'turned on' so much as it was 'knocked aside', or at least knocked out of its owner's hand. The only thing visible at first was a flash of immaculate white armor before the phone fell. After striking the ground, the video took a moment to come back into focus; at which point even under the dim lighting of the Dark Hour one might be able to make out one deadpan Persona in white currently trying to strangle his summoner in black and green.]

Why...are you...?! [Attempting to pry his Persona's hands off his throat ended in failure, but luckily enough there was a good reason for that--Diarmuid's right hand was occupied with holding the crimson lance Gae Dearg, which struck out a moment later to force the dark-haired Persona to back off...and take his own lance in hand. Trying to catch his breath as quickly as possible and stumbling just a little, Diarmuid moved into a fighting stance opposite the other lance wielder.]

[Lightning fast blurs of light and dark armor clashed against each other, the striking of blade on blade illuminating the air with the occasional sparks as they met each other's attacks. It was fortunate, Diarmuid realized, that his Noble Phantasm had been returned to him. Even without its power, there was no lance in this world which he could use with nearly as much skill or expertise. And if this was the opponent he had to face...then he would need every bit of skill he could pull together.]

[But there was a problem, evident in the small hesitations and missteps only an expert could possibly notice. Though he hid it well and though a healing spell had fixed the worst of it, Diarmuid was still injured. And by the smallest of irritated looks on his face, it was clear his Persona saw it as well. Of course he did--he was a manifestation of Ireland's greatest knight, summoned from the heart of one who held him in the highest regard. It would have been stupid to assume he didn't see those small mistakes as a tremendous neon sign proclaiming exactly where Diarmuid was injured.]

[The white lance crackled with sparks of blue electricity, and at the next moment the long-haired Persona moved--twirling and swinging his lance to strike at Diarmuid's midsection with the shaft rather than the blade itself.]

[Whether the resounding crack that resulted was from the electricity or Diarmuid's already cracked ribs breaking further was anyone's guess, but he collapsed almost immediately with a choked cry of pain. Why his Persona hadn't gone for a killing strike was unclear, at least until one saw the expression of the knight standing over his fallen summoner. He looked down at Diarmuid with cold disdain, as if to say he wasn't even worth the bloodstains his lance would receive. With that, he disappeared as the video cut out.]

[About five minutes later, there would be a short message to follow:]

few streets south of the hotel

i could use some help

Third Infiltration - When Persona Attack / [ACTION/VIDEO]

[theycallmesnake]

[Bang Bang!

The sound of bullets being fired ricocheted off buildings and cut through the otherwise "peaceful" Dark Hour. A very low, hushed breathing is coming from the gruff male, as he jumps backward to avoid the attack from a man greatly resembling Vamp. His strength and overall durability reminded Snake of him, so really this seemed like he was going through the motions again. He didn't like it, didn't like how his old opponent had come back to haunt him through his own Persona. Worse yet, Snake never asked for this thing. Two Shadows were there, though dealt with quickly. Rasputin seemed like a very calm, collected, professional yet territorial hunter, wanting Snake's head only for his own.]

...Damn...

[His bullets weren't doing much, especially against his own Persona. The time it took to reload couldn't be wasted, and instead, Snake continued to retreat. Once the line of sight had been cut, Snake did the only intelligent thing he could think to do. He dove into a dumpster. Yes, he literally dove inside of a dumpster. That was the best idea he had at the time. Diving... into... a dumpster. Once his earbuds are placed in, the video feed cuts onto darkness and Snake's hushed voice.] This is Snake...

[That's all he got off, before the dumpster was smashed up into the sky and Snake, being inside it, came crashing down. Crawling out as if crawling out of some burned wreckage, Snake tried to move his right arm. It had broken in the fall, so now it laid limp by his side. This sense of danger was something known well to Snake, and if he had to tell the truth to someone they would notice that he enjoyed it. Injured and holding the video feed up with one hand, Snake grumbled low before speaking.]

I could use some reinforcements.

4th No-Good Incident (Backdated to the 1st Part of the event!)

[breakingtraditions]

[Action; School]
[Today you can see an odd sight happening in the hallway!

Well, not really, considering it's just that nice guy you tend to see sleeping through class or being hit by ball during PE is...

Being shoved down on the ground by a larger kid who looks pretty damn annoyed. The cause for this annoyance and anger could simply be attributed to the spilt milk on his black shirt. Tsuna, however, just stayed quiet even when the larger male went on a spiel on how the 'lame' Jap just ruined his shirt.

Though, considering the odd things that happened this week regarding haywire emotions, it's not really surprising to see Tsuna just standing up, walking right up to the other male.

And jumping to punch him in the face. Hard.]

...

[When he turns to you, his eyes are cold rather than the warm feeling he usually gives out. Luckily this odd sight didn't last for long as he went back to normal and realized what just happened.]



Oh god I'm dead.

[Welp, guess who's running from the pissed off guy now?]
