Hundred-S
Drink Machine FES
As usual, the black machine sits on the sidewalk, with a stack of orange and black cups beside it. Halloween-themed stickers cover the metal surface. A ghost sticker points to a keyboard on the machine, with both letters and numbers. A cartoonish speech bubble reads, "Type anything, get anything!"
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka types in "a cup of blood"* It's been too long!
Funny_Valentine
*Valentine walks up to the keypad and types in "The Holy Corpse"*
Gentaro_Kisaragi
Space! The pompadour clad man clumsily types in his order, unaware of what it may entail.
Kamen_Rider_Lazer
A man with sunglasses on his face and a coat slung over his shoulders waits patiently for his turn. "Eh? Interesting! Looks like things are finally revving up! Let's take this out for a spin!" The man approaches the machine after the others are done and inputs a slightly odd request. >Kuroto Dan< With that he'd clap his hands together. "And now we wait!"
Hundred-S
Ruka gets... exactly what you'd expect. Why does this machine dispense blood so often? Valentine gets a cup of golden-red liquid. It pulses with a strange power. Gentaro gets... is this even a liquid? It's a cup of black... purple... wobbly... stuff. The man with sunglasses gets a cup of blood and some meaty-looking stuff. The person that was typed in is probably not having a good time.

Funny_Valentine
*Valentine takes the cup* "Thank you, drink machine."
Gentaro_Kisaragi
Bottoms up! Gen completely drains the cup before he could even taste the liquid.
Kamen_Rider_Lazer
He looks at the chunky, red mess. "Well, I should probably check on him. How many lives was he on the last time I saw him? Ah, it's probably fine!" With that he would leave the premises.
Funny_Valentine
"Now, I shall be on my way." *He leaves*

You... just drank space. Wow. Okay, Narrator, keep it together. Gentaro's body convulses, and for a few seconds, he can't breathe at all. It's as if all the air was sucked out of him. This initial effect fades rather quickly, although his insides are gonna be hurting for a while. Space ain't good on cells, after all.
Gentaro_Kisaragi
OOARGH! Gentaro curls over, and holds his stomach for the duration of the immense pain. JUST LIKE YUUKI WOULD MAKE! MMNG... DELICIOUS!
Quintus_Geminus
The young man known as Quintus is seen walking down the sidewalk. It seems he is simply exploring his new surroundings since arriving in this place. He's still a little shaken up from the incident a few days ago and has gotten somewhat lost while walking. Quintus suddenly spots the machine and walks up to it with a faint smile. A vending machine? I wonder what kind of currency it takes. He begins examining the machine and all of its many functions. It seems as if he has a odd fascination in vending machines.
Hundred-S
The machine has no windows to see the inside. There is a spot to put a cup for any liquid, as well as a closed hatch in the side of said spot. The keyboard is like that of a computer, and a small screen is just above it to show inputs. Strangely, there is no spot to put money into.

Gentaro_Kisaragi
Gentaro gets up, having survived the potentially lethal drink. Not thirst quenching though, hmmm. Ah! Gentaro punches the word "Galaxy" into the keypad.
Hundred-S
The hatch opens, shoving one of the festively-colored cups under the nozzle. A mix of blues, purples, and oranges flows into it, wobbling just like the "space" had been.
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka types in "Persona"*
Hundred-S
The drink whirrs, then stops... And begins whining. Very, very loudly.
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus backs up somewhat nervously as they stare at the machine for a while. No options...Uh, how do I know what to pick then? He seems to start mumbling to himself as he shuffles around in front of the machine clearly frustrated. Maybe...I should just type something in. Quintus puts his finger up to the keypad and types in the word "Life". I think there was a soda by this name.
Gentaro_Kisaragi
Down the hatch! Gentaro once again completely swallows the contents of the cup, this time pausing to briefly savor the flavor.
Relius-Clover
Relius wanders into the alley with a curious expression on his face, one wonders if these rumors of a vending machine that makes anything happen to be true? He looks over the strange thing and quickly walks to the controls, of not for these fools proving it works he'd have done some testing... Instead the man more closely examines the keyboard, typing in "help". ".help". "/help" and other such things, hopefully it has a command guide of sorts.
Hundred-S
The machine stops its screeching to make Quintus's drink, and dispenses a lime-green liquid. It then whirrs some more, then gives a cyan blue cup of liquid for Ruka. Gentaro immediately feels a burning sensation. This drink is spicier than a hot pepper... wait, it's just hot. Galaxies give off quite a bit of heat. Ouch. Three drinks come out at Relius's commands, each various shades of gray.
(edited by Hundred-S)
Ruka_Maaka
Bottoms up! *She drinks the "Persona"*
Hundred-S
Ruka is filled with bits of foreign thoughts. Some seem very familiar. One feeling in particular is that of freedom. Of fearless adventure. And of falling and burning and crashing into the ground.
Relius-Clover
... I see then, very well machine we shall do this the hard way. He simply leaves the drinks alone, if someone drinks them all the better, but he'll not risk it on something like this. Instead he begins searching the machine for any location one might get into it's workings. He will find a way to understand this thing. He also takes a look at the hatch, trying to pull it open and see what might be inside.
Ruka_Maaka
Woah! This is trippy! *Ruka types in Persona Awakener*
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus picks up the drink and looks it over. To him, it seems to be an ordinary beverage. Usually not one to take risks he decided to set aside his fears for the moment and started to drink the strange beverage while only taking slow sips to taste it first.
Hundred-S
Relius's search of the hatch is soon interrupted by its apparent function. A cup is pushed out through it to catch Ruka's drink, a deep red liquid. Upon further inspection, he also finds a panel on the back of the machine. It's held by screws. Quintus feels energized, and any tiredness fades away. It's as if the drink is bringing life into his body.
Gentaro_Kisaragi
Gentaro buckles over again. H-HOT! OWWWWWW! Gentaro snatches one of Relius's help cups in an attempt to cool his pain.
UnnamedRidePlayer3
*speaking of poor fools, a person of incredibly generic appearance, one so average it is impossible to tell whether they are a boy or a girl walks buy. They glance curiously at Relius before noticing the free drinks* Well, I'm sure no one would mind if I....... *With an incredibly poor attempt at stealth, the person steps around Relius and begins drinking the grey liquids*
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka drinks the cup*
Hundred-S
Gentaro is rather helped by the drink. The pain fades instantly, although a jumbled voice speaks in his head. It's similar to those monotone tech support people. The unnamed person hears a similar voice in their head. It's staticky, but vaguely understandable as "whats the problem" Ruka suddenly feels a sharp pain, and a loud ringing comes to her ears. A low growl accompanies it.
(edited by Hundred-S)
BonafideMonafide04
*types in potato* Heh.
Gentaro_Kisaragi
A voice in my head!? Is that the voice of my buds!?
Quintus_Geminus
The life fills Quintus with newfound motivation he hasn't felt in what feels like forever. He begins drinking the entire thing until none remains before deciding to experiment with the machine more. Let's see. There's gotta be some other drinks I haven't had. Quintus once again steps up to the machine and types in a word that lingers in his mind for some strange reason, "Plume of Dusk".
UnnamedRidePlayer3
*The person steps away from the machine, surprised by the sudden voice. After a few seconds, they clear their throat and speak boldly* I don't have enough loot yet. Heck, ever since I started this game I haven't actually found anything.
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka is holding her head in pain*
Relius-Clover
The Mad Puppeteer grins and pulls a screwdriver from his coat, quickly undoing the screws and examining whatever lies behind. Perhaps it would be worth having Ignis transport this device elsewhere? Technically his Astral is an option... If a waste.
Saeko
Curious at the large crowd, a young woman walks in, glancing around. She finds her way to the source of the commotion, the drink machine. Confused at why so many people would gather at such a simple device, she proceeds to make a request of her own. Hard work makes one thirsty after all. She brings her right hand to the keypad and inputs a simple order.
Water.
Hundred-S
ooc: Hoo boy, gimme a few minutes
Ruka_Maaka
OoC: Take your time as long as it either kiols me or awakens my persona.
Hundred-S
Bona gets a pale white liquid. Chunks of solid potato can be seen. "nnZo." The voice replies as flatly as it can to Gentaro. "n0 loot? gEt fr m Shadows. ThAt work," is what the unnamed person's voice says. THOU ART I, I ART THOU. MAKE YOUR CHOICE OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. The growl forms into these words. Relius finds the inside to be a mess of scaly black wires and glowing yellow circles... wait, what? With what is the most tame order of the day, Saeko gets... clear, fresh water.
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka grabs what seems to be her face, yet is a mask, and rips it off, thus summoning her Persona* This... Is my other!
(edited by Ruka_Maaka)
UnnamedRidePlayer3
Shadows? Is that what the enemies are called? could have sworn they said something about a doctor.... Oh well, I'll chase down these so-called Shadows then!!!! *For some reason it feels like this is the last you're going to see of the brave..... Whatever gender they are. The run away, laughing boldly in the face of their inevitable de..... I mean new information.... Only to turn back around to the machine* Wait a minute, that says to enter anything......... *Quickly punches in "Shadows" and holds tight to a small device at their side*
(edited by UnnamedRidePlayer3)
BonafideMonafide04
Huh. It actually worked.... Picks up the drink and walks off derpily, his mimikyu costume dragging on the floor
Hundred-S
Something is... off. As the mask is ripped off, red flames surround Ruka, and her Persona appears behind her. It screeches and grips her neck in an attempt to strangle her.
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka struggles but fights the Persona off with her keyblade and frees herself*
Hundred-S
The Persona's form ripples, and it lunges once again. Its form isn't completely solid, yet it seems bent on harming Ruka.
Relius-Clover
Relius watches the Persona curiously, a soul made manifest trying to kill it's owner? How very curious, for a moment he considers stepping in but eh. Either way the man examines the yellow circles, these appear to be some form of magic... Perhaps it can revel the secrets here?
Hundred-S
Because I totally didn't forget at all, Quintus gets a black drink. Bits of mist flow over the top. Some of the yellow circles close up, then re-open. A few shift around. Were they... blinking?
(edited by Hundred-S)
Fresh_Prince_Junes
A blob manifests in the corner of the street, out bursts Yosuke with yellow eyes, walking up towards the machine and observing the people around him curiously A persona fight huh? This is neat! Hahaha!
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka totally fend off her Persona and puts the mask back on. The mask completely disappears and the "Persona" fades away, never to be seen again*
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus picks up the cup and walks over to the sidewalk while staring into it. He seems somewhat worried as he does as if there's a strain on his mind just from viewing the contents. So, this is what it looks like...I think. He decides to take a light sip of it unsure of what effects it might have or how it even will taste.
Hundred-S
The spectral form of the Persona manifests behind Ruka. It was awoken by force, and it's not going away without interference. It growls as red flames flicker. The drink gives Quintus a strange sensation. As if it should be doing something, but isn't at the same time. It's as if the power is slumbering until something triggers it.
(edited by Hundred-S)
UnnamedRidePlayer3
*The incredibly average individual turns over to Yosuke, shaking their head before asking* Hey, do you know where I can find some of these "Shadows"? Apparently they're supposed to drop loot for me. Man, what kinda crappy game doesn't even have a map? Haven't found a single dungeon since I turned it on.
Gentaro_Kisaragi
[ROCKET ON!] A white blur blasts through the persona, but it doesn't do a roundabout to finish the job as one may expect. It flies off into the distance, accompanied by a loud scream. KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Saeko
She picks up the cup of water with a sigh. Glancing at the havoc being caused around her, she shakes her head. Taking a sip, she walks away. "What idiots... It's simply a drink machine..."
Hundred-S
The unusual Persona is knocked back, rather stunned by the strange man.
Ruka_Maaka
Anyone in here? I need a little... Help
Fresh_Prince_Junes
*Shadow Yosuke begins to type on the computer as he talks to the ride player, smiling at him with glowing eyes Why yes! I'm a shadow in fact! But I won't drop anything if I die! No no no! I'm a shopkeeper! Ever hear of Junes? It's a supermarket! Hit me up when you got cash and I'll sell ya some stuff! But I gotta wonder, what did you turn on? [Portable Junes]
Hundred-S
The machine, rather than dispense a drink, plays a very familiar commercial tune.
Ruka_Maaka
*Ruka types in "Persona Dissolver - The Drinkt to dissolve histile Personas"*
Relius-Clover
Relius examines the yellow more close, drawing a mechanic fist arm from.... Somewhere he gentle places it inside, trying to see how the thing reacts to being slightly tapped
Fresh_Prince_Junes
Yosuke then listens to the familiar jingle, humming along and swinging his fingers to the tune Ah! Music to my ears! Too bad some annoyance is trying to distract me from it! S.Yosuke then turns to Ruka, pulling a knife out of his pocket Do you really expect me to help ya? Ha! That's almost comedy!
UnnamedRidePlayer3
A Shadow shopkeeper? Must be part of that cool-looking game I bought. Don't worry about it. *sigh* Still, how am I supposed to get cash if there aren't any enemies to fight? *The incredible average individual turns away from the drink machine dissapointed and scratches the back of their head as they..... Hear Ruka* Oh, huh... Are you being attacked by a shadow or something? I wouldn't know, this guy's the only one I've seen *gestures to Yosuke*
Space_Dandy
The ever so handsome Dandy walks up to the drink machine A huh. So this is the notorious drink machine that dispenses any type of drink...with that there has to be some type of unregistered alien behind this! Dandy pulls out a crow bar Alright! Come to Dandy baby! Dandy tries to open up the drink machine
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus ignores the others as he walks a little away to get away from the commotion with an unamused expression on his face. You're all so loud...then again, I don't know what I was expecting. I think I finally get what this place is.
Hundred-S
Ruka gets a dull gray drink. This should stop it... The thing narrows its yellow eyes and sinks its fangs into the hand. It appears to be a small, black snake.
Hundred-S
ooc: I must eat now. I shall be back soon.
Ruka_Maaka
*She drinks it and the Persona disappears*
Fresh_Prince_Junes
Yosole bored with the lack of chaos walks off waving to the ride player Well if you need me I'll be in the shop!
UnnamedRidePlayer3
*The ride player shrugs, politely waving back to Yosuke as they walk off* Man, this game sucks. I've only ever found one enemy and they were waaaaay overleveled.
Relius-Clover
The fangs simply bounce against metal, Relius quickly wrapping it around the thing's head and staying a ways away... Quite the interesting subject, but he's not dumb enough to stay near and instead snaps his fingers, a large doll shaped like a woman appears in front of him and quickly takes hold of the beast. "Good work there Ignis, now then little serpent do you speak or are you just some dull witted thing that lives in there? Either way if you've any interesting secrets to be had I'll be sure to get them figured out!"
Hundred-S
A few other snakes try to bite the being holding their friend, but their fangs just bounce off. The captive head speaks. "We not dull. We find things. Very good at finding things. Find them and bring here."
Relius-Clover
Relius backs a bit further away, Ignis armor seems to be doing very well against these feeble attacks. His flesh might have issues. "I see, so are you the source of the drinks in this machine then? If so I have to ask... How exactly are you getting some of these things? Persona Awakening drinks? Space? People? What kind of snakes are you hmm?"
Hundred-S
"We use to be Typhoeus. Typhoeus gone. Just us and Great Batesian left. We use Nexus distortions to find. We find and take back. Sometimes we find feelings. Sometimes we find objects." The snake struggles a little as it speaks.
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus begins to take interest as they hear the hissing. A look of slight panic crosses their face as the slowly walk over to look into the machine from where Relius stands. Talking snakes...? This either is one strange dream or...Is this the afterlife?
Relius-Clover
Relius stares at the thing before Ignis simply sets it back inside the machine, he's not entirely sure what to do with them... So might as well leave it be. "I see then, well this has been very interesting. And if you wish I'll simply seal it up again and not trouble you any further, my curiosity is satisfied for now. That having been said perhaps we could be of use to each other? I'm not sure what a band of serpents might need from me... But if you could help with finding research materials I'd be willing to lend my skills to you, so then what of it hmm?"
Hundred-S
"Seal machine? That good. And we will find. We love to find. Just type and we bring. We do best to find the thing." All of the snakes nod.
Relius-Clover
Relius grins at them and once they've gone back inside he puts the grate back on, perhaps it would be best to put something else to keep it secure as well? Either way this has been quite interesting. Once he's done the man walks and types in "A fragment of The Azure" into the keypad. Doubtful he'll get what he's hoping for but can't hurt to try.
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus continues staring at the machine in silence. He keeps his distance but retains a somewhat indifferent face. A slight glimpse of fear can be seen in his eyes but he also seems to have some admiration for the reptiles and a fascination of sorts. He looks to the masked man hoping to maybe learn more about this place and to possibly confirm his own beliefs on the world. So, is this kind of thing normal for you? If so then who exactly are you to be adjusted to snakes talking out of the blue?
Hundred-S
A cup appears, and is filled with a swirling blue liquid. It has an otherworldly appearance.
Relius-Clover
Relius examines the fluid, it's just a tiny bit of what he wanted... But still most impressive. Once he's done Relius finally notices the other human being. "Hmm? Oh I've never seen talking snakes before, unless one counts Captain Hazama. But magic and things beyond most people are the norm for me yes, Relius Clover researcher and engineer. Anyways yes I'm very familiar with the unnatural, I take it you've not had such experience?"
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus seems to space out for a moment at Relius question. It seems something about the idea of the unnatural in his own experiences is bugging him. He regains his focus after a moment before responding. Not on a normal basis but I wouldn't say weird things haven't happened to me before. I've already noticed that things are much different here. I feel this place might be aking to the afterlife. If that is the case then a lot would make sense.
Relius-Clover
Relius chuckles and shakes his head, this place the after life? No it's certainly not that. "Doubtful, I don't speak for anyone else but I came here... Well I'm positive that it wouldn't have killed me I'll say that, other dimensions are a simple fact in my home but I don't know yours, either way this Nexus appears to be a melting pot of many different worlds. Countless things and people being drawn together, think of the wonderful possibility here!" By the time he's done Relius looks... Excited frankly, the prospect of so much new knowledge is legitimate exciting to him. A somewhat disturbing look really.
Quintus_Geminus
A melting pot between dimensions? Quintus looks troubled but seems to try and calm down as he thinks through his situation more. I guess I am just imagining things. My circumstances for landing here aren't something I can explain but you seem more knowledgeable than most so I'll trust your judgment. I don't really have any other solid ideas as to the nature of this place anyway.
Relius-Clover
Relius looks the man over a bit more closely, attempting to feel if there's anything off about him with magic. "I'd like to call myself that yes, that having been said there's always more to learn... Heh, if you ever think you know everything it just means you've grown foolish and prideful. On another note however, if you happen to meet anyone going by Yuuki Terumi or Susanoo let me know... You could call him a dangerous criminal, and I've got my reasons for wanting to deal with that man."
Quintus_Geminus
As Relius looks Quintus over he can feel that perhaps in a magical sense something seems slightly unstable about him. Not in the way that he acts but just something in general almost feels off balance. Not only that but an unusual power seems to be slumbering within his soul though the nature of that power is unknown as well. Quintus seems to either not notice Relius looking him over or simply chooses to ignore it as he stares at the cup briefly wondering what Relius ordered from the machine. I'd rather avoid danger but if I see him then I'll let you know. Although, how would I even inform you? I don't really think I would be able to contact you again even if I wanted to.
Relius-Clover
The man... Tosses him a business card actually, for some reason it reads Colonel Relius Clover: NOL Engineer Division. "I presume you have a phone of some sort? If not payphones still exist for some unknown reason, oh and as an aside. Something slumbers in your soul, I'm not sure what but there's power hiding in you so I'm curious where that will go. Anyways I'm off to look at my newest material more closely." And with that he's gone, the man departs the alley for whatever he's using as a base at the moment. He can't help but be curious about what this person may awaken to.
Quintus_Geminus
Quintus takes the card and looks at it curiously. He pulls out a thin black wallet and stores the card within one of the pockets before returning it into his own pants pocket. He can't help but wonder what Relius meant about slumbering power. The idea that he had any power at all was oddly not surprising to him though. He was unsure as to why this was but decided thinking on it would do no good. With that Quintus walked away and continues on his path.
HahaRIP
what is this BLASPHEMOUS SHOWING I have found?
Hundred-S
The drink machine whirrs in response.
HahaRIP
Drink machines are a holy being not to be defiled by any random person! Begone!
Hundred-S
Well, looks like HahaRIP's the only person around now. The few people walking by have left due to this dude's shouting.
