Days of Shadow 2: Eclipse
(Take two of the dungeon for my friend. Anyone is welcome) *Shiza stands before the outside of the massive black cube, staring at the opening into the dark within* Well, here goes nothing.
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya walks beside Shiza with a nod* So, what exactly is this place?
Shiza_Salad
This'd be a dungeon, or palace to some. Basically where a person's shadow resides, and revolves around your hidden thoughts and desires.
Yuuya_Takashi
So mine is in there?
Shiza_Salad
Yeah, somewhere in there. If you accept it or refuse it and defeat it in combat, you obtain your persona. It'll be a difficult journey though.
Yuuya_Takashi
Wouldn't it be difficult with just the two of us?
Shiza_Salad
Uh.., yeah, I guess. I was hoping more people would join, but I guess not. *He shrugs* Screw it. Shall we?
Yuuya_Takashi
Right behind you. *He unsheaths his katana and follows cautiously*
Pikadaboi
*Runs behind them* Don't forget me! *Drinks whiskey while running*
Shiza_Salad
*He turns around* Hmm? Oh, greetings. You wish to come along?
Aincrad_Hazel
Walks over and pats Shiza on the shoulder. "So what's this way Shiza?"
Shiza_Salad
Uh... dungeon of a new acquaintance of mine. Yuuya, meet Aincrad Hazel, my best friend.
Yuuya_Takashi
Konichiwa, Hazel-san.
Pikadaboi
Hey I know you, fancy shirt dude. Who's the assassin nerd?
Aincrad_Hazel
He bows towards Yuuya and tips his cap. "Pleased to meet you. Gentleman weirdo at your service."
Shiza_Salad
The "assassin nerd" is Yuuya Takashi. He's less assassin, more ninja. *He thinks a bit, then shrugs* Eh, same thing.
Yuuya_Takashi
We plan to fight my shadow to obtain my persona. I wish to join you all on your quest to battle this "Bloodlust" I've heard so much about. Perhaps he will help me discover more of my past...
Aincrad_Hazel
"Ooooooooo a ninja. You must be very talented Yuuya, I can't wait to see you in motion. It'll be a fun time." He grins at Yuuya and looks towards the cube. "Shall we?"
Pikadaboi
*Pulls out evoker* So how do you people summon your personas?
Yuuya_Takashi
Arigato, Hazel-san. Caesar, I believe we have obtained a functional group now. May we depart?
Shiza_Salad
Yeah, let's go. *The group enters the cube, the door shutting quickly behind them as the room is plunged into darkness. Not a single speck of light exists within the cavern, and the room is dead silent. Soon, a voice rings out, breaking the silence,* "Ah, Yuuya. You come here to uncover your past, but it is futile. Give up now and spare yourself the pain..." *The voice stops, then silence falls once more*
Pikadaboi
*Puts evoker to head*
Aincrad_Hazel
"... Welp, ladies and gents, let's find that voice." With that he raises his hand into the air and holy light surrounds his hands trying to light up the cube. "Sooooo weird evil voice, what are the odds you'll just nicely reveal yourself."
Yuuya_Takashi
What was that? It sounded like me, but I'd never say such things!
Shiza_Salad
*The room's darkness is cut through like a knife by the incandescent light. Once lit, the room is completely devoid of features, besides a rectangular dip in the floor and a two doorways leading into other rooms, one to your left, and another ahead*
Pikadaboi
Hey guys, we should split up and look for clues. Might be the best method of approach.
Aincrad_Hazel
He looks around and yawns. "Well if this is your palace, then maybe it's your Shadow. Other than that I don't know." He looks at the doors. "So where shall we go?"
Shiza_Salad
Splitting up is the last thing we should do. Easier to get ambushed that way... It would be in our best interest to stick together. It's up to you Yuuya, left or straight?
Yuuya_Takashi
Uh... left, I guess.
Shiza_Salad
*As the group turns left, the light brightens the new room, revealing an exactly similar design. A doorway is to the right* Uh... Alright then. Next?
Pikadaboi
I say we go in the only doorway available or we make our own...
Aincrad_Hazel
"... Well this is going to easily get weird. Why all the turns and stuff?" He looks at the room. "And what's with the dips in the room?"
Shiza_Salad
*He shrugs* Considering the dips are the only features, they must be important... somehow?
Aincrad_Hazel
"Wouldnt surprise me to say the least." He pats Shiza on the back. "All you bud, enjoy the dips."
Shiza_Salad
*Caeser walks over to the dip and steps into it. As he does, it makes a clicking sound, then a large industrial clang. Frightened, he quickly hops off, but the plate is locked in the pressed position* That answers that.
Shiza_Salad
(I'm going to postpone this until tomorrow. Is that alright, Ain?)
Aincrad_Hazel
(Yeah it works for me.)
Aincrad_Hazel
(Shouldn't you ask Yuuya though?)
Yuuya_Takashi
(It's fine. It's getting late for me anyway.)
Shiza_Salad
(Bump)
Shiza_Salad
(Yuuya, let's just finish this today) *Shiza shrugs* Well, I don't know what that did, but I can only assume these plates open something.
Yuuya_Takashi
They might be used to open a door in a different room, maybe.
Shiza_Salad
*Shiza nods* Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Let's go back, activate that plate, then move on.
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya smiles at Shiza* Ok
Shiza_Salad
*The group turns back into the first room and activates the pressure plate. Another clanking sound is heard in another area* There. Let's go back now. *When the group enters the second room, they enter the new doorway, revealing... yet another empty room, what a surprise. There's yet another dip in the floor though*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at the dip in the floor* Is this another pressure plate. If not what is it then.
Shiza_Salad
Well, I can only assume it's another. If not, then I don't fucking know. *He shrugs*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at Shiza* Why don't we try stepping on the dip in the floor.
Shiza_Salad
*Shiza nods and jumps onto the plate, causing another mechanical clank noise. A door opens to their right, revealing a stairwell* Heh, we did it. Cool. Shall we?
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya nods* Yes, we shall
Shiza_Salad
*Yuuya and Caesar climb the stairs, bringing them to a long hallway, lit by a dim light. Yuuya's shadow speaks once more, taunting the group* "Huh, I thought I made that too hard for you idiots. No matter, you're one step closer on the journey of futility. Come, I shall release you from life..." *The voice disappears, and a shadow falls from the ceiling. Dressed in pitch-black garb, it's barely seeable in the dark* *Party Turn!*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya takes sniper out and loads it with incendiary rounds* Who are you!
Shiza_Salad
*The shadow replies with a low guttural growl* Yuuya, that's a shadow. You don't talk to it, you kill it. *Shiza grabs both of his revolvers and fires all twelve shots* ++Action++ *Shiza fires his guns twelve times for light Gun damage*
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka explores the place and suddenly hears a loud cry* What was that? *She follows that cry only to fight two people firing at a shadowy entity. She hides and observes the battle*
Shiza_Salad
(We both have class, Ruka. We'll be back in an hour or so)
Ruka_Maaka
(Aight. I just came back from work tho)
Bloodlust
(Bump)
Bloodlust
(Eh wrong account, but whatever.)
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya aims at shadow* Ok, I guess *Yuuya graspes his sniper and shots all three incendiary shots* ++Action++ *Yuuya fires all three shots for heavy Gun/Fire damage*
Shiza_Salad
*The shadow instantly dies, turning into a black mist. The hallway now light up brighter, allowing the group to see* "Hmm, perhaps I underestimated you pathetic humans. Whatever, soon your end will come..."
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at Shiza* Did we kill it, Shiza.
Shiza_Salad
*He nods* Yeah, but that was a little too easy. Keep your head on a swivel. *He reloads both revolvers and steps forward slowly, watching carefully for movement*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya also reloads his sniper with incendiary rounds* Ok. Let's keep on going then.
Shiza_Salad
*As the group moves on, a massive doorway comes closer. The doorway looks to be made of steel, painted a pitch-black.*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at the door* How are we going to open this door.
Shiza_Salad
*Shiza pushes on the door, easily opening it* You push, duh.
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at Shiza expressionless* How. It's made of metal.
Shiza_Salad
*He shrugs* This is what happens when you're a magician and half-demonic. *Caeser walks through the now open doorway*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at Shiza astonished* WHAT!
Shiza_Salad
*He shrugs again, yelling from the other room* You don't know everything about me.
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya walks toward Shiza* I can say the same to you.
Shiza_Salad
*He laughs* Touché. Now hurry up and get your ass in here.
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at Shiza* I'm walking towards you idiot.
Shiza_Salad
*When Yuuya enters the room, they're faced with a massive room without decoration. A single person stands within the center, facing away from the two* Well, I guess that's your shadow...
Ruka_Maaka
*Secretly follows these two*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at the shadow* So are we going to fight it.
Shiza_Salad
*The shadow turns around, giving a wicked smile* "You're finally here! Your futile journey comes to an end, and so will your lives..." *The shadow chuckles* "Yuuya, your crusade to find your past is useless. The truth is... you will never find it. It doesn't exist..."
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya still looks at the shadow* I don't know what you are talking about shadow
Shiza_Salad
"So you admit that I am wrong? That you have SOME chance of discovering who you are and where you came from?" *It chuckles again* "What bullshit. You only lie to yourself, when you KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU'RE INCORRECT!"
Yuuya_Takashi
Well you could be right but there is know harm in trying to find something of my past.
Shiza_Salad
"That's the problem, Yuuya. You don't have a past. It is nonexistent. No matter how hard you search, you will never find it.
Yuuya_Takashi
Well then maybe I should just give up my search for my past then, but who are my parents shadow.
Shiza_Salad
*The shadow shrugs* "I would not know such a thing, Yuuya, because I am you... And you are me." *The shadow smiles menacingly*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya thinks for a moment* Oh, then we should accept each other than.
Shiza_Salad
*The shadow raises an eyebrow in confusion* "Well? We are one in the same, Yuuya. Do not deny these feelings, as they are yours..."
Yuuya_Takashi
I'm not denying them I'm accepting them.
Shiza_Salad
"Hmm... interesting. I did not expect you to accept these hidden truths so quickly... I did not plan for this..."
Yuuya_Takashi
Well what did you plan for me.
Shiza_Salad
*It shrugs* "I was hoping you'd deny it, like most people. No matter..." *The shadow disappears, turning into a aura colored card. Yuuya has faced his shadow and obtained the persona, Hattori Hanzo!*
Yuuya_Takashi
*Yuuya looks at Shiza* I did it
Ruka_Maaka
*keeps hiding and observes these two*
Shiza_Salad
*Shiza nods with a slightly sad look on his face* Kinda wished I got to fight it, but good job nonetheless. Now we're one step closer to stopping that killer once and for all... *Shiza teleports everyone out*
Ruka_Maaka
What? Where did they go? *Goes away from hiding and looks around* Weird. But lets keep on exploring *And so she did, but not for long as she suddenly gets ambushed and lets out a giant scream*
