A New Adventure [Mod]

[Holly Mason]

It had been awhile since Holly had come to this area.  She wanted to go more often, but her pesky "life" kept getting in the way.  Well, not anymore!  Tonight she was going to LIVE again!  Naturally, if she was going to do this she had to do it right.  No boring clothing, no boring accessories, no boring weapons; everything had to be as awesome as possible.  Tonight, she was going out in her true exploration gear, the outfit that she thought made her look more badass than anything else she had.  A lot of her clothing looked fairly "normal," but to her all the pieces together was the important part.  She wore a red tank top and loose-fitting black pants that she tucked into her boots.  Her boots were black as well and went about half way up her shins and were laced with red ribbons.  To complete the look, she wore a black long coat.  It was made of a thick, high quality wool and went down to her knees.  There was a small belt attached to it that she kept tied around her waist so she would have a proper silhouette.  She also wore some simple, black cotton gloves.  She left her very long, blonde hair free and a little messy.  She was no princess after all, she was a hunter!  There was no need to keep it neat for this.  She also left without any make-up since even she understood that she'd probably be sweating a little bit.  It wouldn't be any fun if she didn't.

Holly strode down the tunnel without making any effort to hide once she got past any police or military forces that might be guarding it.  She was coming here looking for a fight, not to hide like a complete wuss!  She was sure she heard some noises further down the tunnel.  Perfect.  She changed her stance slightly, similar to what she would do when getting ready to dance.  It was important to stay light on your feet when dealing with these things!  Her walk turned into a run, perhaps more of a prance similar to that of a gazelle.  She drew a few knives and kept them at the ready.  It was go time!

Bring it on stupid shadows!

Naturally, her ears were not deceiving her.  Perfect.  This would be a great time to try out that weird accessory she found recently.  This bracelet would supposedly make her persona's wind attacks stronger, it just seemed really weird and a little silly.  Eh, Holly would never understand this freaky magic bullshit, but in the end the only thing that mattered was the actual effect right?  She slowed down to a near stop once the shadows were in range.  She was a ranged attacker, there was no need to get any closer.  With a grin, Holly made her persona's card appear in front of her and threw a knife through it.

"Anaisa Pye!  Hit the one in front!"

A young woman with long brown hair appeared in front of Holly.  Her smile was just as devious, if not moreso, than Holly's smile.  With one fluid, graceful motion her persona created a gust of wind and it...blew the shadow away completely.  Holly blinked and looked down at the bracelet.  Kickass!  She's never done that to a shadow before.  This thing was awesome!  Feeling bold, she turned to the rest of the shadows only to find that they had gotten closer than she expected while she was momentarily distracted.  Whoops.  She stepped backwards and summoned her persona again.  One of them looked flimsier than the other, so she attacked that one.  The single wind strike wasn't quite enough to finish it off.  Unfortunate, the other shadow must have just been weak to wind.  Oh well, it was still really cool.

Due to her carelessness, the shadows were now in range to attack her, and the one she wasn't attacking did so just as she was finishing her own attack.  She saw it coming, but didn't have enough time to get out of the way of its attack.  The shadow paused for a moment to charge its attack, but even with that it still managed to hit her in the side with its cleave.  It definitely hurt, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle.  She was pretty sure she would do fine without it, but this coat was doing a pretty good job of protecting her too.  The second shadow, the flimsier looking one, was a bit slower.  It went to swipe her with its...hands? claws? something like that.  But this time she was ready and jumped backwards before it could reach her.

Now she had to decide which one to hit.  She could probably finish off the flimsy one right now, but the other one was more dangerous.  Well, having to deal with two attacks was harder than having to deal with one attack right?  She might as well finish off the one.  She tossed a knife at it and it shattered the mask making the shadow disappear in a puff of smoke.

The remaining shadow didn't attack her with any particular fervor.  Did shadows not care when their allies died?  Or did they just not actually die and this was their way of retreating?  Regardless, this shadow was fast.  It was able to keep up with her movements and managed to cleave her midsection once again.  Holly was okay, but geez that hurt.  She needed to finish it off quickly.  She summoned her persona once again in order to hit it with her wind spell, the strongest attack option she had at the moment.  It wasn't enough to finish it off.  Rather than try to dodge again she just braced herself.  The shadows attack still hurt, but it didn't hurt quite as much this time because she was prepared for it.  With one final summon and one final wind spell, she broke the shadow's mask and it disappeared as well.

Holly breathed heavily for a moment, but once she realized all the shadows were gone she stood up straight and grinned.  That was great!  This power is great.  This place is great.

Would you have stood a chance if you fought this?





Fortunately, your opponents were only a few Shadows. Have some FP!

Looks like that was all of them.  Too bad.  Holly put away her weapons and began searching the area for anything useful.  Though, after just a moment of walking her body felt heavy.  This was stupid, she was fine!  Totally fine.  There's no way a wimpy bunch of shadows would make her this tired!

"Dia," she sighed summoning her persona once again.

Her persona appeared once again and blew her a kiss, closing most of her wounds.  She still felt tired though.  Holly decided to take a moment to rest and stretched a bit.  However, once she started stretching her legs she was sure she heard something pop and nearly fell to her knees.  Thinking on it, wasn't there something she wanted to watch on TV tonight?  Maybe she should just go back, it would be unfortunate to miss it after all...

Yeah that was it.
