Falcon and Wolf TV Dungeon HUB

[gorobo]

Scared of himself, of the monster others perceive him as, Wolf fled into the TV, hoping to find refuge in the digital space, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare...

 

Blinded by his own hate, his own insecurities, Falcon witnessed himself on the TV.
Driven by the fear of what it meant, he went inside to stop it, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare...

"It's not unlike what Labrys-san endured," Crow says, his voice oddly monotone. Like Raven, he's donned his glasses, though Hiro stands beside him, without need of them.

Crow places a hand over his chest, sighing at the scattered parts. "She was forced to fight her sisters, to kill them, all so she could become the ideal Anti-Shadow weapon. As far as the Kirijo Group was concerned, their creations were merely a means to an end."

Breathing slowly, he steps forward. "A maze is an apt way of putting it. While I can't say for certain what awaits us, dungeon progression is less about finding an ideal route to a treasure and more about making your way to the end."

"If we're lucky, that's all it'll be," Hiro finally says. "But for all we know, there'll be a trick or a gimmick, like Naoto-san's dungeon."

This was a lot different then mementos or tarturus. It felt a little more creepy, like she was in his head. She needed to make sure that he was okay, she needed to make sure that she could protect him.

"You've seen plenty of these right, Crow-san?" she asked a little small, but more than enough confident.

[mirrorgirl]

So this is a tv dungeon? It’s certainly making an impression. Feels different from a palace too, but her metaverse outfit burned onto her all the same.

Hound takes in the sights and sounds and smells, and frowns at what she hears.

“So… this is like, memories right? Or stuff related to the rulers lived experience?” Is she using the right words? She’s familiar with palaces rebut it’s got to have some overlap with this dungeon thing right?
But if that was a memory, She really doesn’t like that comment about being good for parts.
It’s practical, but that doesn’t make it right! You shouldn’t do that to a person.

It seems like Crow has the most experience here, so she’s all to happy to follow his lead… or the groups lead really. She can play support. She’d be happy to help!

"It's a very comfortable lie, I'd expect. To believe that the people you're using like objects are incapable of feeling like you do."

Phoenix took his place by Futaba, sword in hand, eyeing one of the scrap piles with a wary expression. "If this is anything like Tartarus, we're looking for stairs, probably. Hopefully there won't be nearly as many levels."

[fogbornphantom]

"You could says it's the middle ground between a Palace and Tartarus." He gestures at their dismal surroundings. "Repressed emotions and memories paint the canvas. The deeper we travel, the more glimpses of Falcon's psyche manifest. Some dungeons may even have 'rules' or 'gimmicks,' if only for a single floor..."

"But it varies quite a bit," Hiro adds. "Generally, a dungeon will only have so many floors, but we should anticipate resistance by way of Shadows, both lesser and the two belonging to Falcon himself."

Even so, Hiro slowly steps forward. "But we mustn't keep him waiting."

tbf mostly aimed at hiro and crow

The broken robotic parts, the spilled machinery, the voices, the tone...it made Wolf grit his teeth- one hand idly fiddling around with his heavy greatsword as he followed the group around. Honestly, if Akane wasn't all too active on the network he might not have even been here.
But Falcon had been in a place where he couldn't place a finger on him. He doesn't even know if they even got along when they trained together, two shadow weapons fighting the same enemy.

Atleast he knew what was going to happen around the first few years of him subjecting himself into becoming a weapon. Falcon was different.
And the way each time a new leaf showed, Zenkichi couldn't help but scoff at the prospect of not realizing that what they did to Akane should not have been surprising.

Was he guilty?

"So uh- all of that does check out with how this cognitive hocus-pocus goes though in our case jails act differently. Involving other people's shadow as well but..."

He sighs as he finally tilts his head to regard Hiro and Crow. "You guys aren't twins are you? I mean, you look the same but-" he blinks incredously- as if trying to piece together a puzzle. Too bad his look of confusion isn't too obvious behind the opaque mask. "You...are a shadow, right? Like those eyes? I am not being antagonistic I just, isn't that worrying...?! Unless you are not a shadow which okay, I didn't know-"

[aknightnotaprincess]

Knight listened to Crow's story and explanation, and while she hasn't explored Tartarus yet, she gets what he's saying. She makes a mental note to ask more about Labrys later.

Wolf's confusion however distracts her. Oh dear, did they rush into this too fast?

"...Should we have waited to give introductions or something before stepping into this dungeon?"

She'll let Crow and Hiro explain.

quick reply

[unit_8910_wolf]

"I just think the presence of a shadow correlates to a present cognitive space that it originated from...aside from that I know all the details." He pipes in just so that it doesn't seem like he's lost his marbles.

As in, is there a palace festering in Crow's case? A TV dungeon that slipped everyone's radar and didn't really bother to rectify- thinking the distortion wasn't too much?

"To be fair we can hold off on that conversation for later. If it's too distracting."

[fogbornphantom]

Hiro chuckles. Oh, poor Zenkichi. It's understandable, though. "Technically, I'm a Persrona. I just spent enough time as an independent Shadow that I developed an ego and became 'more' than what I was meant to be."

"He can shift his appearance, essentially," Crow adds. "This current form is more approachable, so he favors it outside of certain combat situations."

[mirrorgirl]

“Oh wow really? That’s cool!” Maybe it’s for the best her mask sorta covers her eye color.
She doesn’t have an explanation that doesn’t come down to ‘I’m just weird’ she could give Zenkichi if he asked why her eyes are shadow like too.
Maybe he won’t notice, besides Falcon is the priority here!

“So, basically Dungeons are like randomly generated by floor? And it gets more intense the deeper you go?” Sounds like some of the games Alibaba-Chan plays. Sounds fun! She’s itching for a fight!-
And to help falcon Of course.
