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...

"So they don't need to be unmasked? That does make it easier when I need to feed on some shadows."

Yes Kaitou's serious and he's intentially saying it so that the others aren't caught off guard. He learned the hard way to warn others of his...habit. Ann didn't deserve that, even if they hadn't expected her to come back into the palace.

[rookandhound]

"Goro..."

Rookmon, as dangerous as the situation was, could not be compelled to stay away. He drew a shaky breath. "I am prepared. If anyone has questions they require answered, I will answer as best I can, but... if this is what has been weighing on his mind, then it happened before I met him. He doesn't... talk. About this. Not even with me."

everyone would hear her italicized lines. as she's the navi

[counterfeitphantom]

Time… fourteen-forty-seven. Had to reject two, seven, and nine, but all else seems to be in order. Proceeding with initial testing, based on the refined procedure from generation two. Kurata reckons that the age range of the last batch was the reason it was so inconsistent, and all of gen three is pre-pubescent, but should still be cognitively s̸̲̽h̵̞̲̍̈́ḣ̶͕͘ḧ̷̰́͐h̵̰͎͒h̶̫̪́̑ĥ̸̟͓̊ we'll see.

Gah. Those words felt painful.

Akane, ironically, the same age as Wolf also traversed around as a digital being and who knows? Maybe the Kirijo Group acted the same way.

"Mic check everyone. Let me know if you can't hear me," A voice would speak to almost everyone else in the group. They would percieve her as the floating jewel from earlier, moving back and forth while scanning the areas ahead. "As for what happened to Junior Wolf. I- I am sorry. Factually speaking- this place being a manifestation of Akechi-san's inner self is as sickening as it is disturbing. I may know what's going on here and considering the time when I ran into the preview of those files, those incidents happened before everything else, Rookmon. Definitely related to the info I ran into the last time we were in the Okinawa jail."

[fogboundcrow]

"Any information you can provide will be invaluable, Akane-san." After all, dungeons are unpredictable. The feelings deep within can manifest in horrific forms. Raven knows from experience. "As for unmasking, I've never truly tried. Generally, we'd simply fight the Shadows, try to down them where possible and overwhelm with All-Out attacks. Golden Shadows were often the most valuable due to the copious amounts of yen they left behind and the power gained from defeating them..."

He takes a few steps forward, sighing. "But since money is irrelevant here, they're less of a priority. If anything, we should focus on moving through as swiftly as possible and save our energy for the likely clash with his Shadow at the end."

[vampirethief]

"Yeah it might be best to do this as quickly as we reasonably can."

As nice as yen and treasure are, it doesn't matter as much here, with not needing money. Items might still be useful though so they shouldn't completely ignore any treasure chests they come across.

[rookandhound]

"I can hear you perfectly well, Miss Akane, but... what is a 'mike check'?"

Rookmon wore an expression of polite confusion, glancing between her and the others. "Also, if this place is within the confines of Goro's mind, would not taking things out of it mean... taking things from him, somehow? Would harming the Shadows here harm him in some way? I would prefer to avoid that if at all possible."

[counterfeitphantom]

Oh rookmon... Akane suppressed the urge to giggle at that question. The sooner the sound of it came, she reigned it in as she calmly continued, "I meant microphone. Not someone named Mike haha. The abbreviated form of it goes as m-i-c which is basically me checking my microphone!"

"Also, you know that's a really good question. The thing is these shadows or any in particular exists because of well- the pysche of one's mind. They draw power from it so removing them won't harm say the jail owner, or the source of this dungeon's distortion."

The glow of her jewel dulled down a bit. "That said...if we were to attack and bring harm to Wolf's shadow after bringing it to its most vulnerable form- that would lead to dire results."

[fogboundcrow]

"The Lesser Shadows are simply enemies trawling the dungeon. Wolf's Shadow could theoretically command them or summon a particularly powerful Shadow as an obstacle, but there's no danger in fighting them."

He nods at Akane's comment about attacking the Shadow. "Ideally, we need to convince Wolf to accept his Shadow. If he so much as utters 'you're not me,' a fight will ensue, in which case we can weaken the Shadow, but not kill it."

[wicked_plan]

Wild hums at Raven's explanation; that sounds familiar enough. Even when stealing a treasure, they usually had to beat a Shadow into giving it up. The last bit, however, is new to him.

"There's no easy way to prevent that from happening, I'm guessing. We can't exactly force him to accept his Shadow." Encourage him, sure, but... Wild's not exactly familiar with Wolf. Raven and Rook, however...

"Rook, you're his best friend. If it comes down to it, do you think you can convince him?"

[vampirethief]

Kaitou's not sure if the others heard his warning of his eating shadows habit, but he makes a mental note to apologize later.

He nods at the explaination.

"We'll have to support Wolf best we can, and if we have to fight his shadow, so be it."

Hopefully they can avoid a fight if possible.

[wipingallout]

"So there's a difference between shadows in general and a person's shadow?" Hamuko asked. It'd been something she'd gleaned a bit from passing conversations and bulletin notes, but she had yet to actually ask outright - Iwatodai and the Dark Hour didn't seem to delve into individual people's shadows, after all.

"From what was on the television, it sounded like there was a big monster, right? Is there a chance there's something besides Wolf's shadow here that's a bigger threat than the rank-and-file shadows?"

[rookandhound]

... A big monster. Rookmon's brows furrowed.

"I... did not see the television. What sort of monster? Did you see it?"

[wipingallout]

"I don't think anyone saw anything specifically besides some eyes or fangs... we did hear a wolf howl, though," Hamuko clarified with a small nod.
