[ A color of violence - for some, of guilt. Anyone in here will suddenly be colored many different shades of red. Anyone being...

FeMaestro and Specs, since they will be the ones stepping through the door of this place.

Clues in this location: 2 ]

[Suddenly no one else is around aside from Ignis, and Minako is a little surprised. But thankfully, she's also kind of used to this idea. Tartarus enjoyed splitting people up, after all]

The others all disappeared...hello? Joker? Maestro? Crow?

[Minako calls out to see if anyone else can hear, while also looking around]

[ She might notice that her voice sounds a bit quieter than usual - given how quiet this area is, however, it might be difficult to tell?

The fog is a bit thick in this area, so seeing where she's walking might be a bit difficult.

Right now, they're all clear to proceed forward! There are a few Shadows in this area... but they're about ten minutes of walking in. Which means they have time to talk and decide how to proceed forward! ]

[Ignis, at least can hear that things have gone suspiciously quiet.]

It seems we've been separated.

[For what purpose, Ignis isn't sure. He will perform a scan of the area with The Sage, to hopefully give him an idea of what those Shadows are like.]

There are Shadows ahead - shall with proceed with caution?

[Or face them head on?]

I'm alright with fighting Shadows, but we should be careful. I don't know how they act here. This place is very different to the one I know.

[She's not sure how much Ignis knows about her, or Minato. She doesn't know very much about him, after all. But he seems pretty dependable, and his scans will be super valuable. She missed having someone who could do things like that]

I guess we should go on and see if we can find out why we've been split up.

[She's used to being a leader, but after everything that's happened so far, Minako is a little more hesitant]

[ They won't get very far into this section before the entire area shifts...

First, the colors change - it's as much red as it is blue as it is green (and so on, and so forth) throughout. It becomes something of a messed up rainbow just in time for a group of Shadows to leap from the, ah... shadows and right down onto the floor behind and in front of the pair.

They're all dressed in black, and all grinning at the... redhead? Put kindly, they're eyeing the girl as though they have terrible plans in mind. One of them is laughing just before muttering: ]

Well, well... Looks like Kara thought she could escape all the way out here with some guy...

I have to wonder what kind of challenge they'll be. Think we can drag them both back alive?

... Not much of a point in dragging in some stranger, though, right?

Eh... I say we have a little fun with them both, and just bother with the girl.

[The colour shifting is alarming, but Minako simply draws her naginata out, ready for a fight. So when the Shadows appear, she's unimpressed with them. She doesn't get angry easily, or she'd definitely be angry right now]

I'm not going to be dragged anywhere, thank you. So whatever plans you might have, they won't be happening.

[ As the pair get ready for battle, so does the group of what appears (and sounds) to be hunter men, after all that talking and whatnot. They're all pulling out guns and daggers and swords. Well... all except one? That one simply has fire surrounding its right hand. ]

Hmmm... looks like they're ready for a fight. Good. That makes this kind of thing more fun for us.

[ The group is laughing - except one (the one represented by green, to be exact). ]

Now, now Kara... No need to bother. Once we get you back to Aiden, you'll get to enjoy your punishment being delivered by the love of your life, and everything! It'll be... romantic, just like you two losers could ever hope for.

[ One of them is snickering before muttering. ]

Well, unless you'd rather the punishment get delivered by everyone. We are pretty big on group activity around here, right?

[ It's in this moment, however... something shifts with the colors again. A figure is now standing behind one of the pairs of the hunters. Its voice is very similar to Aiden's... only... more tired than anything? It wears its own hood, however, which fully conceals all of its features. ]

... I don't think so.

[ It's all turning a shade of blue as a trap door suddenly opens beneath both Minako and Ignis... There won't be much time for them to process what just happened.

... Only, it will just be Minako hitting the mattress as she lands in a new area - it's all green around her, now. ]

[She recognises Aiden's voice from the cognitive, though it's different with the tiredness that it takes her a second to realise. Then she's falling and hits the ground below with a surprised sound. And when she looks up - she's alone.

This really is Tartarus all over again]

Hello? Anyone around?

[She changes Persona to Laksmi for the lack of weaknesses and carefully gets to her feet. What can she see now? Aside from green. She's not sure she's fond of green much. Red is better]

[ It's currently just a lot of empty hallway...

Although, she might hear the very muffled sounds of two voices in the far distance...

One should be at least fairly familiar, all things considered. ]

[Muffled voices seem like a good bet, so Minako heads the way those two voices are coming from, naginata out just in case. She hopes Ignis is alright...]

[ ~~:C Ignis...~~

Heading in the direction of the voices seems like a good idea, so far! They're getting slightly closer, the longer she walks... though, before she gets too close, she might catch the glimpse of something shiny over in that perfectly open space over there! ]

[Like any good dungeon crawling Persona MC, Minako notices the shiny and heads for it first because she's pretty sure Kurama can handle himself if he's in trouble for a little while at the very least. He seemed plenty strong before.

Besides. Shinies. It could be new gear! Or random items which...probably won't sell here, but eh. Not the point]

[ It is a locked Treasure chest, an unlocked Treasure chest, and two urns. One of the urns has a bit of a sheen to it.

Looks like the area is currently safe for checking these things out, too! ]

[Actual treasure chests? Neat. She's used to briefcases and the occasional crate, but treasure chests are cooler.

She'll open the unlocked chest first, because how do lock]

[ It's something... pretty!

Fish Scales: They're very colorful. ]

[Heeey, sales fodder. Although those are pretty. Maybe she can make something with them if she can find more crafty type materials. Either way, she's taking them.

The locked chest gets eyed thoughtfully. She hasn't got a key, and she can't really drag a chest around...maybe it's time to just. Break stuff again? She draws her Evoker and summons Thanatos with the typical bang of an Evoker going off. Thanatos is somewhat displeased that all he's getting to smash is a lock, but smash it he will. A few times, because apparently the lock is stubborn, but so is Minako and Thanatos. S m a s h]

[ It's something... strange.

"Purple Seeds?" They somewhat resemble coffee beans. ]

[...those are weird. Thanatos fades out as Minako opens the chest and peers curiously at the seeds. Maybe she could plant them and see what grew? Huh.

Well, she's done with that. As for the urns, she's not used to smashables, so while it is not smashes, the shiny urn is getting examined curiously]

[ There's nothing too remarkable on the outside.

It has a small crack in it that lets her get a peak inside, if she wishes. ]

[Peeking inside she is doing, what do we have here?

It feels sort of rude to think that she's considering breaking something like this, but...she's considering it]
