Intrigued by the news of odd vegetation growing from the subway, Nacci decides to investigate. As she reaches the entrance, she attempts to make her way inside, snapping the vines from their place if need be.
"An odd occurrence. Logically, someone must've seen these before they grew to this size, unless they grew overnight... It really is interesting, I suppose, no matter the circumstances."
A man in a red coat wanders the streets, sighing as he considers how to deal with these pain in the ass statues. He's heard all about what happened at that town after all, and these can't be anything good either...
"So, with all this crap going on I guess there's nothing to do except look into it. Not as if I can just leave things be... Not right now."
He'd glance toward a subway station, absently at first and beginning to walk past the thing as usual. Until he stops for a moment and sees the vines and plants covering it, wonderful. Something related the planet in some sense then? At any rate, he'd look around the area for any way past them. And failing finding one, he'd simply draw a longsword off his back and cause flames to ignite along the blade. Aiming to hack and burn through the things if he's unable to pass through without doing so.
"Great, so either a gardener went insane or we're dealing with some kind of earth god or somesuch crap.
He'd then glance toward the woman, huh. He's seen her before somewhere hasn't he? Maybe he's just going crazy. Either way, he'd nod toward her
"Well it seems we're here for somewhat alike reasons, or so I'd assume anyway. Tatsuya Suou, investigator/hunter of all things mystical. You?"
Upon the first prod at the subway station odd violet fumes would seem to leak out. The fumes wouldn't burn like some kind of toxic gas and it wouldn't feel any different from normal air either. Mostly it just seemed to color the air with its violet hue. As the vines easily came apart the inside of the subway would seem to be full of the strange air. Along with more plants of varying color and size decorating the stairs down into the subway below.
As she pulls apart the vines in her path as she steps onto the stairs, Nacci turns her head back to look at Tatsuya.
"Please, call me Feebo. My task is to protect the people living here until they can safely return home. That's... about all, I'm afraid. I wasn't made with much in mind beyond that, and..."
She shakes her head dismissively at her final statement before going back to moving forward, bringing her hand up to one of the colorful plants.
"Such vibrant flora... this is certainly not the work of nature itself if it's this deep, or at least unaffected nature.
Not that it wasn't already a tad obvious."
*A kid with a hat on her head walks to the subway entrance in hopes she could find a Time Piece here and it might be the thing that must be helping what ever was going on here*
*Hat Kid walks over to Tastsuya and Nacci since they were close to the entrance to the subway and maybe help them with what was happening. Hat Kid would wave to the two*
"Hello"
Feebo, weird ass name that... Oh well, no sense worrying about that. Instead he'd simply keep moving forward and nod to her for a moment.
"Fair enough then, strange name but I'm not one to call people out on being strange. At any rate, we should be careful in here..."
Breathing this shit in seems like a bad plan, but he can't entirely avoid it sadly. Upon seeing the kid come in, he'd turn to her and sigh as he covers his mouth with his coat.
"Hey there, and are you sure being here is a good idea? I may not look like much, but I somewhat know what I'm doing. You uh... You look a bit young to be risking your life, might want to head out of here."
Regardless of that though, the man would keep walking forward and looking around. Blade held forward as he prepares for... Whatever the heck is down here.
*Hat Kid looks at Tatsuya in the eyes and sighs*
"I've already risk my life a lot of times already. I know what im doing..."
*Hat Kid said taking out her umbrella and walks into the subway*

At the bottom of the stairs the normally cement floor would be coated with a thick grass. Many tall violet flowers would be sticking out of the ground randomly. A few odd grassy cocoons would also line the wall. They would be roughly the size of a human being.
At the far end of the station would be a single subway train. It would stand oddly undamaged by the plant life if anything it seemed the plants had simply redecorated it. It was now painted green a violet and a tree could be seen growing on the top with its roots hanging off the sides. The strange part about the tree is it almost seemed shaped to be able to enter the tunnel.
The tunnel would actually still seem open on one side, the side the train would most likely be heading.
The fumes would only grow more powerful down here. The air almost smelled slightly sweet as well as if the fumes had added something to the air.
The plant that Feebo reached down to touch almost seemed to move away at her touch as if it were aware of her presence.
Great, living plants and the air gets worse. The only way forward is the freaking train, and all there is to do is hope that his "team" can keep things in check.
"Well, I guess we had better hope train service is closed tonight eh? I don't know about you two, but to me going the path of least resistance seems like a decent plan for now..."
He'd do his best to simply ignore the fumes, for now, aiming to keep walking down the clear pathway forged by the train. In theory, it shouldn't be running, unless someone was crazy enough to come into work today despite this mess.
She stops her hand as the seemingly sentient plant moves.
"What... is this? Could it be possible these plants have a functioning brain? Or... perhaps they simply have a sensory system, to ward off creatures unfamiliar with their functions..."
After thinking on it for a moment, she decides to quickly reach for it and touch the plant to her open palm.
*Hat Kid used her "cape" to cover up her mouth and nose to not smell the fumes the plants were making*
*Hat kid keeps on walking with her umbrella out and was ready incase they had to get into a fight*
(When you see how many upvotes Tatsuya as when you find out his ALT is peter parker, the charter you wanted to rp with well... well today has bring a lot of surprises already)
Tatsuya and the Hat Kid wouldn't notice too much as they walked. For a moment, it seemed as if one of the strange pods on the wall twitched but it quickly ceased movement after shuffling for a moment. The door to the subway car seemed to open on their own as they approached as if expecting them to climb onboard.
The fumes seemed to grow thicker as everything seemed to be shaded in a violet tint including their own bodies.
Feebo would reach out and attempt to touch the plant further. Suddenly more flowers with violet petals would grow around her feet. They seemed to almost try and entangle themselves around her as they emitted a more condensed cloud of fumes.
Her body would begin to be dyed a deep shade of violet as the flowers tried to entangle her.
*Hat Kid looked at the strange pods and notice how it would fit a human inside of it... Hat Kid starts to think that humans are inside of those pods but she shakes her head and looks at the subway car that open on its own as they got close to it, Hat Kid was scared but braves up, What does she have to be worried about well Hat Kid is worried that she might get captured in one of those pods and maybe die*
*Hat Kid soon looks at Tatusya to see how he was holding up*
Unfazed by the fumes still, Nacci simply pulls her feet away from the flowers, the strength of her body easily able to tear them off. She sighs, looking down at her nice, clean black outfit and faux-skin being turned purple.
"Lucky for these plants, I like the color purple... Ugh, I shouldn't have been wasting time with them in the first place."
She turns away from the plants and begins to head towards Tatsuya, attempting to rub the purple off of herself.
The man himself simply shrugs it off, sure it's spooky. But he's seen worse before, even if there are people in them it's not all that new to him. Sadly.
"Oi you alright kid, I realize not everyone is well adjusted to horrible awful looking things. But hey look at it this way, at least we haven't seen anything seriously trying to kill us. Yet."
He'd look back Nacci, purple huh? It no doubt gets worse from here, but even so, he'd press on with the flaming blade pressed forward and burning brightly so as to see even the dark of the tunnels.
There would only be the train and the tunnel it was intended to go down remaining. Everyone could either board the subway car or walk down the tunnel regardless of the train if they felt like doing that for some reason. The fumes would still fill the air and only seem to stick to the skin of all in it more and more.
The fumes would still seem harmless though as if they didn't have any effect aside from their odd coloration, like breathable pain spread in the air.
Nacci decides to poke her head inside the train, looking around the inside for anything of interest within the immediate area.
"I hope everyone got out all right before the underground was closed off... That said, they didn't seem to be in too much danger, save for probably hating the color purple now..."
She chooses to fully step inside the train, looking down the hallway to the rest of the cars, before moving towards the conductor's room, should nothing else intrigue her.
The man sighs and walks back, might be best to just take the stupid train... Even though he's fairly sure something will go wrong here aboard the damned thing.
"Something tells me that train is important, so despite my misgivings, I'm getting on the thing... I hope I'm right about this being the best way forward."
He'd walk into the train, eyes darting around as he steps forward. Tatsu would glance all around as he enters, checking not only the sides but even the ceiling and floor of the thing just in case. Of course, knowing his luck something will appear from nowhere.
OOC: I noticed it could be hard for thw Kushala to handle the subway, better I'll use this account if you don't mind.
Magus was concerned about those earthquakes, he decided to take a look by himself on the subway, probably some kind of monster was the source of those earthquakes.
During the walk, Magus noticed Tatsuya and Nacci and he jumped from the shadows to talk to them.
Greetings, I hope you don't mind if I help you investigating.
Assuming everyone went aboard the train the door would begin to slowly close as if aware they had all come aboard. The fumes seemed to almost stay out of the train as if something was inhibiting them from entering. Everyone would notice that they were nearly completely covered in purple. A sudden oddity would occur though, the purple on their skin would begin to fade as it seeped into their skin.
There would barely be a sensation attached to this as if maybe the strange substance wasn't physical in the first place.
The train would shake a bit before it began to move. The interior of the train seemed to be pretty average for a subway car besides the lights being replaced with a small plant that hung from the ceiling. The end of the plant resembled a light bulb and would admit a small amount of light.
The train would move forward through the tunnel on a normal path. Anyone who had been touched by the purple substance before would suddenly feel slightly light-headed but it wouldn't feel so much like the effects of a drug as much as it almost felt they were moving somewhere else, along with the rest of the train.
Nacci's legs begin to waver, and she's forced to hold herself upright on the wall.
"Urg, this is a new sensation... I've ridden trains before, but it never felt like this. Perhaps my sensors need to be re-calibrated or something of that sort... It has been a while, after all."
She slowly turns around and slides down the wall, eventually able to sit down on the floor of the train with her back to the wall. Her eyes suddenly begin to flash before staying brighter than usual, flickering every so often as she works internally.
Magus remained calm, getting nervous was not going to help anyone, but he was concerned about what is this substance, he had a few hypothesis: A mind magic, maybe was related to those shadows stuff. also, it could be poison.
When the train began to move Magus almost fell to the ground, but he managed to support himself on the wall and slowly recover.
I don´t know what is this substance, but I recommend you to remain calm, getting nervous won´t help anyone.
Magus went and remianed in one of the corners, he was looking everyone trying to discover what is this purple substance, he was feeling strange, it was starting to be hard for him to remain on his foot.
Sigh, no it's not a sensor issue. Not this time anyways. He'd lean back against a wall, hands in his pockets as he closes his eyes.
"Doubtful at best, smart money says this is some kinda magical effect of these plants. Anyway, nothing to do but sit back and see what happens for now... Something tells me we're on a fast track straight to the source of this crap."
He'd then speak toward Magus, not even bothering to open his eyes as he waves at the man.
"And no sense worrying over that now, I don't know you in the least bit but I've never been one to turn down help. Just be careful and don't do anything too rash out here, I'd hate if things go badly because someone rushes ahead..."
The train would slowly seem to pick up speed. Faster and faster it would go down the tunnel. It seemed as if it was going to bring the group down to the next station. Suddenly it did something that a normal subway most likely would never do.
Firstly though, everyone would further begin to feel the effects of the substance from before. It would start with their vision. The colors of everything around them began to become distorted and shift around.
Even the walls of the tunnel began to distort and flash a variety of colors as the subways suddenly made a sharp left turn into what was supposed to be a wall. Instead, the wall that was once their would open up like a mouth made of stone. It would lead into a corridor covered in a fleshy green rock as if traveling down the throat of a mighty beast.
Magus looked at Tatsuya, he looked away keeping his serious face.
don´t worry about me, I´m always very careful.
Magus looked now at Tatsuya and he began to explain him.
I already thought on destroying that plants but it could be dangerous, because:
A): the Enemy could get annoyed and attack us right now, we couldn´t be able to react in time and die, getting in the worst situation.
B): Someone goes out and destroyes the plants but he is left behind, we don´t know what is out there, it could be a suicide, also, if later there are more plants we´ll be in the same stiuation as well.
C): that person fails in destroying the plants and A or B happens anyways.
D: the ceilling falls over us.
I don´t really have to tell you this, but we are together on this, aren´t we? is better if I show you what I´m not a newby on this kind of things.
Magus had a hard time trying to not fall to the ground as the train got speed, a bit later his vision got distorted, but Magus remained calm as well, just a little vision distorsion was something he expected.
When the went inside the mouth Magus began to think, probably the whole subway turned into a gigant beast, and now they are inside him. They are on a vulnerable situation now, but if they are really inside this beast they could try to find a weak spot and attack from there.
For now, Magus will wait to see what happens
Hmm? Burning them is pretty stupid yes... Still, Tatsu would crack a bit of a smile.
"Yeah, the thought had already crossed my mind as well. As much as I love fire, I can't exactly say that randomly burning things down is my style."
At least this guy has a clue though, and the robot seems to as well... The kid concerns him, but nothing to be done for it. Of course, there's also that swirling in his eyes to consider. But there's a reason he's got them closed, he'd still wobble a bit as the thing picks up speed, and he'd open his eyes again right as they reach the weird green... Stuff.
"Great, belly of the beast perhaps? I can't say I expected that to happen but well better focus right."
OOC: Seeing as it seems a few wish to sleep at this hour I will be postponing this until either Monday or possibly Sunday if things look clear.
