The hidden Trigger:An open challenge
As a normal day in the city of Tokyo soon escalated to City wide broadcast of phones, Televisions, and Radio signals all together as a figure has tan-skinned man with yellow eyes without irises or pupils, and dark crimson hair and red highlights. His ears are pierced with Egyptian-style earrings with a blue diamond and a gold bullet "token", and a mask with yellow glass and a white casing with a diamond-shaped pattern of white dots with red centers, following with a white trench coat with green and gold line patterned inside and outside the Trench coat over a White Jumpsuit and sort of Shoulder Pads is seen on the screens of phones and Any Television Device turned on and the figure shows a wristband like object being worn.
"This is a challenge open to all of the residents of this city, I know enough to say there is duelists here. AND I SEND THIS CHALLENGE TO THOSE WILLING TO FACE ME! And i don't plan to talk for hours.....I seek only one with skills to rival mine alone! Call me....Revolver....."
The broadcast ends and all devices affected by the signal return to normal after showing a revolver cylinder rotating once and fading away.
Rosie looks up from her phone following the broadcast hack and shakes her head. "Power-hungry lunatic," she thinks. "I'd rather save my strength for when it truly matters. I'd rather not waste it on a tryhard."
Another though crosses her mind. If Revolver is as powerful as he claims, that power might come in handy if she persuades him to join her team. But he'll have to match her wits if he stands a chance against her. So, she pays a visit to the Velvet Room to fuse and withdraw some Personas, then returns home to change her clothes and gather her equipment: modified Dapple Dualies that shoot Dust rounds, standard 9mm bullets, and ion charges instead of ink; a simple rapier; a 6-foot titanium alloy naginata; and her Igniters- her preferred method of summoning her Personas. Before heading out to face Revolver, she drinks a special potion in place of equipping armor and accessories and says a little prayer.
"Hey Revolver," she calls out when she reaches Shibuya. "I'll take you up on that offer. But here's the catch: I'm looking for teammates, and you just might be a good one. If I win, you'll join me, no exceptions."
She pulls a coin out of her back pocket and walks toward Revolver.
"Coin toss decides who has the first move," she says. She then pulls him closer to her by the lapel of his trench coat with the hand containing the coin, slowly moves her free hand up Revolver's chest, and looks directly at him with wanting eyes. She then lowers her voice to a seductive whisper. "Unless you, as a gentleman, decide to let me go first. And if you win our little bout..."
She bites her lip as her eyes flicker down for a brief moment.
"Well, I'll leave that up to you. What do you say?"
"There you are!"
A young man in an... unusual attire approaches the two, one hand on a deck of cards and the other pointed at Revolver.
"Are you the one who offered the challenge? If the maiden is dueling with her holy weapon, then I must assist with my Relic of Fallen Angels!"
...It's just a deck of trading cards...
"Coin toss decides who has the first move," she says. She then pulls him closer to her by the lapel of his trench coat with the hand containing the coin, slowly moves her free hand up Revolver's chest, and looks directly at him with wanting eyes. She then lowers her voice to a seductive whisper. "Unless you, as a gentleman, decide to let me go first. And if you win our little bout..." She bites her lip as her eyes flicker down for a brief moment. "Well, I'll leave that up to you. What do you say?""Tsk, well damn, little Rose Bush. You managed to weird even ME out with that one. And that's my job! Well, the one I prefer, anyways."
Oh. It's THAT kind of duel.
Well, shit.
She's played Hearts and Solitaire before, but nothing like this.
Not like she's one to back down.
"I've only got the means to summon a Persona," she explains to Revolver. "Other than that, I can only shoot and enact swordplay. I hope that will suffice. But if you insist on using cards like these, I only ask that you allow Anghel to be my handicap."
Rosie acknowledges Anghel as she rolls her eyes at Hades.
"Shut the fuck up," she says to Hades- telepathically, to some degree. "I'm saving Marin Karin for when it counts."
Please no more , it hurts!
"What? How do you know my name? Are you a fellow angel?"
"I heard something about a Duel, but... Guess I'll pass. This looks like it'll be more entertaining to watch than anything else."
"I practice reading Tarot cards," she says. "Last night, your name came up when I was doing a 7-card reading."
She turns back to Revolver.
"Now, are we doing this or not, darling?"
OOC: Actually, can we put this on hold until tomorrow? I gotta sleep, plus I have one more exam to take in the morning.
From outside, a mech flies outside, looking at the building everyone else is in
"Target...Rosie..." The male voice in the cockpit said as it aims its twin buster rifle at the building, locking on to it, the pilot's expression tensed a bit before saying, "...Beginning the elimination...!" The mech then fired a powerful blast from its twin buster rifle that completley engulfs the whole entire building with the blast...After which, it was reduced to nothing but rubble. "Mission Complete..." The pilot then let out a little laughter before composing himself, "This is Heero Yuy, returning to base..."
The Shot hits the building causing it to crumble and Revolver disappears as a warning saying "Danger Logging out" and the rooms ceiling collapses from the blasts power making it unstable and possibly anytime going to collapse entirely
