POPULATION: 41 The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round…until they suddenly stop. Just as quickly as the bus ride started, the sudden jolt of the bus hitting the brakes may disrupt you from your current activities (whatever those may be.) It’s hard to determine just how long you’ve been on this road trip, but some of you may be able to tell it’s been nearly forty-eight hours. Where could you have possibly been traveling? Worry not, dear travelers! Why, if you’ll wait one moment, the doors of the bus will gently open… …and the floors of the bus will tilt, spitting every single one of you out onto the ground with little warning before the doors slam closed and the bus begins to drive away. As you gather your wits and regain your bearings, the first thing you may notice is the very distinct scent of pine and the lingering scent of rain in the air. Beneath your feet, the words BUP STOP have been spray painted into the dirt and above you a large wooden sign proudly declares that you’ve arrived at your destination. Welcome to CAMP GATONINA. Well-maintained greenery surrounds the area with trees as far as the eye can see, and a dirt path seems to lead straight into camp. Fog looms in the distance, though perhaps that’s from the rainy weather. Come along, don't be shy. You’re welcomed here, after all! As you make your way forward, you’ll soon be greeted with the sound of a bright and almost cheerful voice that seems to be amplified somehow, gathering the attention of all. "Right this way, ladies and gentlemen. Your lovely hosts await!" A cloud of fog parts, and in the center of the path sits a three-tiered platform. Three figures stand on the platform before you, two of whom hold a white basket with depictions of the sun. Despite looking directly at them, it’s hard to make out the features of these three outside of their very unusual outfits. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the camp later, but for now it seems that the figure in the top hat has a megaphone in hand and an announcement to make. "That should be all of you. Let's not waste time, shall we? You'll need these sooner than later, I imagine." The figure with the top hat begins to call out names as the other two figures hold onto the basket, using their free hands to distribute small keys with different wooden keychains shaped like animals. When the final key is distributed, the megaphone is lifted once more as the figure without the basket gestures to the space around you. "Welcome to Camp Gatonina. We look forward to your stay." [ooc: for the sake of your mods, please choose only one NPC to speak to for now! Should we feel confident with our tagload, we may open this up to more tags later, but don't worry! There will be more opportunities to speak with them in the future... Please be sure to read all of the new information provided to you! In addition, please keep in mind that this is not the week zero mingle! A new mingle will go up tomorrow to officially begin the game, so please do not use this post to toplevel regarding the new locations! You may, however, PC to your hearts' content ♥]

I'm a devil worshiper.

[HE IS JOKING]

[muragas]

[ GASP ]

You worship Tanaka-san?!

[survivaltricks]

-- who?

[Tanaka's shady commodities???]

[muragas]

[ wow, really? ]

Tanaka's Amazing Commodities? TV spot every Sunday morning? Anata no, terebi ni, Jika-netto Tanaka~?

[survivaltricks]

[???!?!?!?!!?!?!]

Oh-- [brightening a bit, because!! he knows that show!! even though he doesn't recognize her. . .? are they from the same place???]

I know what you're talking about, but didn't that go off the air a few years ago?

Now he's running a black market website called Tanaka's Shady Commodities.

[way to admit to criminal activity, Akira]

[muragas]

... Oh.

[ somehow she is completely unsurprised by the black market development ]

Wait, "a few years ago"? It's still going strong, in spite of the money scandal!

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]

[HE THINKS]

[HE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON HERE]

[thank god for Ken]

Okay-- before I say anything else, what year is it for you back home?

[muragas]

[ hm, this seems strangely ominous, but if there's people from other worlds, then... ]

It's 2010. Why, what year is it for you?

[survivaltricks]

[aaaaaaah]

The same year as Ken. . .

[. . . and then he laughs and lifts a hand to tug at his bangs]

What are the odds?

1/2

[muragas]

[ haha, yeah, what are the od- ]

2/2

[muragas]

[ WAIT ]

... "Ken"? Ken what? What's his last name?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . HMMMMMM]

[the gears in his head are turning, and considering what a small universe it seems to be, it isn't impossible so. . .?]

Amada. Amada Ken.

He was in the mansion with us.

1/3?

[muragas]

2/3

[muragas]

[ excuse? are her ears working properly??? ]

3/3

[muragas]

What do you mean Ken-kun was in the murder mansion?!

[survivaltricks]

[oh my gosh she is SO LOUD. he jumps a bit, instinctively putting up his hands]

I-- I take it that means you know him. . .!

[then is she also. . .?]

It's okay! He made it all the way through alive, I promise!

[muragas]

[ look

there are just some things that require getting loud about

Ken-kun being in a murder horror house is one of them ]

Good! I'm glad! Tell me everything that happened to him!!!

[survivaltricks]

[an]

[apologetic look, but there's a small curve of a smile on his lips. he has a billion questions but he's going to focus on hers for now]

I don't know everything that happened to him, but I can go through most of it. He was. . . very dedicated, and did a lot to help us all out.

[in his own Ken way!!]

[muragas]

[ no! stop laughing! this is a No Laughing zone!!!! laughing is nerfed!!!!!!! ]

Yes, that's definitely Ken-kun, but was he okay! Did he get hurt or-?

[survivaltricks]

[he's not laughing!! he's just smiling!! apologetically!!!]

[. . .]

He was hurt, yes.

[pretty. pretty badly, actually??? uh. and that's something Akira feels a small twinge of guilt over since he was a part of that group]

But he was taken care of immediately afterwards, I swear. Nobody let him suffer.

[muragas]

... Maybe not the best choice of words, there.

[ considering that's what they say about, oh, putting animals down ]

How did you help him? With Satan? I think Helel would've been more suited for it...

[ that MAG stat ]

1/2

[survivaltricks]

[








]

[survivaltricks]

Ah.

That-- answers a few of my questions.

[who is Helel though, he can't summon Helel, P5 just has Lucifer????]

But no. Nobody had access to their abilities back at the mansion. We had to use good old fashioned bandages and antiseptic cream.

[and because HIS CHOICE OF WORDS WAS SO BAD--]

He was only hurt once. He's a resilient guy, too. . . so he recovered pretty fast.

[muragas]

[ she just

quirks an eyebrow in Akira's direction

she's not the one with "summoning Satan" scrawled all over her profile ]

.......... He was really fine? No permanent side effects?

[survivaltricks]

[LISTEN. . .]

Yes.

[he breathes out]

He walked away with a few new scars at the most, but no permanent side effects.
