Dr_Kinasu
Virtual Reality: Upgraded. (Test run(aka prologue))
In his huge lab outside of shibuya, bona and Dr. Kinasu seem to be setting up something outside. A sign can be seen that says: "The world's best virtual reality experience ever? Come if you're looking to hone your skills!" It seems interesting, and might be cool to check out!
Rom_Dolos
A young man seems to be typing something quickly onto his phone, looking slightly distraught, as he walks along the path. He then notices the peculiar site of two familiar faces setting the sign up. His takes his other hand out of his hoodie's pockets and takes off his earphones. He waves and smiles as he approaches the two. Hello, you two. Jumping on the VR bandwagon?
Dr_Kinasu
They both wave back, with nerdy smiles on their faces. B: Yep! K: This is gonna be huge, Rom. Life changing!
Rom_Dolos
The man looks down at his bag and smirks. He must be feeling excited, because the hand that is holding his phone is shaking rapidly. I-I see... Life changing in what sense? Like... a training program? Rehabilitation? Either way, I would like to help out in some way.
Gin
*Sam wanders into the arwa, sees the sign and chuckles.* Oh this should be good. *He then approaches the others* Howdy all. I'm here to laugh when the "best" VR experiance ever crashes and burns. So, how's everyone?
Minato_Yuki
A blue haired man with yellow eyes walks up to Bona and Rom Did someone say VR? Because I'm up for it.
BonafideMonafide04
K: Training program! It'll help people who just got personas learn How To use them in special ways, and help people who already have personas to use them in really cool ways! It'll be awesome!
Rom_Dolos
Really? It's only limited to persona users? Rom looks down at his phone, his hand steadying. I wonder... A-Anyway, what brought that idea up?
ArkadeKing
Another young man is walking by, hands in his pockets. Turning his head, he sees the VR sign and begins to walk over. Did someone say VR? Because I want to try that.
BonafideMonafide04
K: Well, not just persona users! Weapon users, magic users, technology users, whatever you use for combat!
Minato_Yuki
The blue haired man turns to Kinasu Are shadows allowed in this?
Sam
OOC: Let's forget about my mistake, shall we? IC: Awesome is subjective. I'll see this for myself.
BonafideMonafide04
K: Sure!
Minato_Yuki
Alright then.
BonafideMonafide04
K: Alright, let's head in! B: Yeah! They enter the lab with glee.
Minato_Yuki
S. Minato follows from behind
ArkadeKing
Arkade follows the 3 of them.
Rom_Dolos
Alright, let's do it... Rom follows the others, ejecting a USB key he had just inserted into his phone minutes before.
Sam
*Sam follows with a shrug.* This should be fascinating.
BonafideMonafide04
After passing through the main area, which was filled with technology, they end up at an area with a bunch of tubes. Both: We're here!
ArkadeKing
So what do we do?
Minato_Yuki
S. Minato looks around So, now what?
Rom_Dolos
Rom looks around the lab and then at the tubes. So... where's the USB port in this thing?
Sam
*Sam looks around the room, slightly interested.* What the heck is this?
BonafideMonafide04
Dr. K points out the USB port. K: And as for what it does, step inside and find out yourself!
ArkadeKing
Well, in I go! Arkade walks into the machine.
Minato_Yuki
S. Minato shrugs and enters the machine ...
Rom_Dolos
Nice! Rom sticks the USB in the port for a few seconds, takes it out, and downloads the info contained in there in his phone. A voice then comes from the phone's speaker. [Voice]: Data is safe, boss! [Rom]: Sweet! Now then, let's finally try this out... Rom walks into the machine, taking a deep breath.
Sam
*Sam follows them in* Time to witness this catastrophe *Sam presses a nonexistent pair of glasses up his nose*
BonafideMonafide04
Bona ends up going in too, just to make sure everyone is safe. Dr. K types some stuff into a keyboard and the next thing everyone knows, they're in a black room. They're also all wearing earpieces, except for bona. Dr. Ks voice can be heard through the ear peice K: Hey! Can you guys hear me?
ArkadeKing
We can hear you!
Sam
Nyeh. What's up doc? Heh. Always wanted to do that.
Rom_Dolos
Rom reaches to his ear and notices the earpiece. Neat. Loud and clear, doc.
Minato_Yuki
I can hear you.

BonafideMonafide04
K: Great! Might as well start things off now! A training dummy appears. K: I'll have bona explain the first part: Combos! B: Thanks, doc. Here, doing combos is easy as can be. Sometimes, when doing attacks...... He knocks the training dummy by using psycho force. .....enimies will be knocked into the air! That's your time to... He jumps up into the air and slices at the training dummy, usising the blood moon. And he sliced it into peices. combo it up!
Minato_Yuki
Combos huh? I can work with that.
Rom_Dolos
I see... All of this time playing fighting games might actually pay off. Rom takes out his lance with a smirk growing on his face.
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
BonafideMonafide04
B: Quick note: It doesn't happen all the time. But these dummies were meant to be combed on! A bunch of dummies appear, one for each person. B: Now you try!
(edited by BonafideMonafide04)
Pikadaboi
*Walks in* Uhh huh...
Minato_Yuki
[S. Minato puts his finger gun up to his head and pretends to shoot it summoning Hell Biker] Do it. [Hell Biker then uses Megaton Raid on the dummy]
(edited by Minato_Yuki)
Sam
I don't have time for this. Burn it to the ground. *With a flick of his mechanical wrist, a dark grey, black-eyed version of Dahlia's Ratataskor appears and incinerates one of the dummies. Sam presses the top of his nose again, as if he's wearing glasses.*
Rom_Dolos
Let's see here... Anansi! A mask appears on his face, and he tears it off, summoning his persona. Hmph. The code really is similar... Rom then proceeds to encase the dummy in ice and drop kicks its legs, making them fall off and shatter.
ArkadeKing
Okay...let's go! He then runs at the dummy and slashes it in a cross, cutting it into quarters.
Pikadaboi
*Pulls out a whiskey bottle and drinks as he watches*
BonafideMonafide04
B: That's how it's done! K: Great job! Now, the HP system. Anyone familiar with video games should know about this! A green bar appears next to everyone, all of them having the the air HP, and two numbers, both of them being 650. K: This represents how much heat you can handle before you hit the curb!
Minato_Yuki
[S. Minato looks at his health bar] Alright, can we start now? [S. Minato crosses his arms]
(edited by Minato_Yuki)
Sam
Where's the skip tutorial button?
(edited by Sam)
Rom_Dolos
Alright, standard stuff... Anyway... Rom snaps his fingers, and a few more things appear on his U.I., like a debug menu. That's not all the USB did... Rom swipes the U.I. aside and turns to Bona. So, what next?
ArkadeKing
Geez, what else did that USB do, make you immortal?
Rom_Dolos
Rom turns this time to ArkadeKing, chuckling. I wish... Besides, it's nothing special. I just put a couple of notepad files on it and that's about it.
ArkadeKing
Huh. Neat. Anyway, name's Arkade. Yours?
Rom_Dolos
Arkade, eh? The name's Rom. It's nice to meet you. Rom reaches his hand out to Arkade.
BonafideMonafide04
B: The test dungeon! It's time to see how this program works! Ain't that right Doc? K: Yep! Everyone appears in front of a cave.
ArkadeKing
Arkade gives Rom a handshake. Same to you.
Minato_Yuki
S. Minato looks at the cave So, this is the first area?
Sam
Guess I have no choice. Begin Act 1.
Rom_Dolos
Rom takes in his surroundings and stares at the cave. Sadly, I haven't stocked up on max repels...
BonafideMonafide04
B: Bingo. Let's head in. K: I'll be your guide! Think of it as me giving you guys the Dev route! Bona heads in.
BonafideMonafide04
B: Don't worry rom, no zubats in here!
Rom_Dolos
Sigh of relief. Oh, good. Let's go. Rom follows the others into the cave.
Sam
*Sam is advancing into the cave. Hey, If this is a video game, I'm using Dynasty Warriors terms. Screw it.*
ArkadeKing
Well, in I go! Arkade begins to walk into the cave.
Minato_Yuki
S. Minato enters the cave carrying his sword, Satan's Blade
BonafideMonafide04
The cave is dimly lit by some torches, and for a while, is just a curvy path. Something is gleaming in the distance......
Minato_Yuki
S. Minato notices the thing gleaming in the distance What's that?
Rom_Dolos
Hm... maybe it's bait... or the enemy spawner.
Sam
So, which one of you idiots are going to go "Ooh! Shiny!" and run into a trap? *Sam has stopped advancing*
(edited by Sam)
Minato_Yuki
Should we just slowly advance to it? S. Minato looks at the others
ArkadeKing
Wait. I have an idea. Arkade picks up a rock from the cave's floor and throws it at the gleaming object.
BonafideMonafide04
As the rock hits the object, it goes from good to red and jumps at him! It's a goblin with..... Cat ears?
ArkadeKing
OKAY GOOD THING WE DIDN'T WALK TOWARD IT. Arkade puts his sword in front of him, attempting to stop the jump.
Rom_Dolos
Rom readies his lance...again, and prepares for battle. I think it's safe to say we all saw this coming.
Sam
Of course Bona's creator would also imagine a monster with cat ears. Dumbass furry.
Minato_Yuki
Rom's right. S. Minato twirls his blade
BonafideMonafide04
K: I'm not a furry, I wanted to come up with a stupid enemy and I didn't want the classic slime, so I took a spin on a goblin.
Sam
Nothing wrong with the classics doc. I would have berated you for your decision anyway, but nothing wrong with the original. *Sam leans on his staff. He seems to be ready to fight...I guess*
BonafideMonafide04
Gm: Battle start! Player turn!
ArkadeKing
Oh, so we go first? In that case... Arkade attempts to slash the cat-goblin in two.
Rom_Dolos
Let's see this mechanic in action... Rom summons his persona and casts Pulinpa on the enemy to confuse it.
Sam
*Objective: Defeat the doctor's stupid furry goblin thing* Man, I love the Samurai Warriors add-on to the HUD *Sam fires a bolt from his wrist bow at the doctor's stupid furry goblin thing*
(edited by Sam)
Minato_Yuki
*Sigh* Persona, I guess. [S. Minato summons his persona, Black Messiah, and casts concentrate on himself]
(edited by Minato_Yuki)
Danksuya_Suou
(Mind if a silent protagonist comes along for the ride?)
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: go ahead
Danksuya_Suou
Danksuya notices a giant lab right next to Shibuya, seeing as it's quite out of the ordinary he walks up to it and knocks on the door, flicking a lighter after knocking ...
BonafideMonafide04
Gm: update!
BonafideMonafide04
Gm: Being a low level enemy, it gets avmbsolutley destroyed. YOU WIN! *Meanwhile, Dr. K hears the knock and goes to the door.* K: Hello?
(edited by BonafideMonafide04)
ArkadeKing
Huh. That was easy. DEEPER IN WE GO! Arkade begins to walk further into the cave.
Minato_Yuki
Well, that concentrate was useless. [S. Minato walks ahead]
(edited by Minato_Yuki)
Rom_Dolos
That was... anticlimactic. Well then, open the gates! ...I mean... Might as well join in on the Musou quotes. He follows the others.
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
Danksuya_Suou
Danksuya nods at the Doctor and points towards the sign at the front, then shrugs, as if asking about this virtual reality, before putting his hands into his pocket and awaiting an answer
BonafideMonafide04
K: Oh, yeah, this is the VR place.
Danksuya_Suou
Danksuya nods again to confirm this fact, he then motions his hand inside, asking if he can check it out
BonafideMonafide04
K: Right this way! *he goes out of teg way to let danksuya in*
Danksuya_Suou
Danksuya thanks the ol doc with a wave of his hand, stepping into the building and taking a look around, keeping his hands in his pockets,
BonafideMonafide04
K: Over here! *he leads danksuya into the tube room*
Danksuya_Suou
Danksuya follows the Doctor as he enters the tube room, looking around with a bit of suspicion as he investigates the strange machine ? Danksuya then enters the tube, nodding to the doctor to say he's ready as he draws a crooked blade out from his coat, holding it near
