[ When you open your eyes again the first thing that you, and your teammates, may notice is that you are confined within an iron cage, rectangle in shape. Further inspection will reveal that outside of the cage is a large structure of sorts, reaching far above you. It kind of looks like an unfinished clock tower, really... there are spots that look finished and bolted tightly, and others that look like they had been left once and the work never thought of again.

Also, it's pretty chilly. You might get to notice that.

It's foggy and windy—the kind of wind that howls and roars, jostling your cage against the tall shaft, and every so often you feel as though you might have had the ghost of a raindrop on you. The tower-like build creaks horribly ominously in the wind, and you can see the rusted metals swaying slightly. But if you decide to look around...

Flapping above you (and not helping with the wind) is a harpy-like creature, iron chains wrapped around their talons. Though, maybe it's more like a lion? The chains are bolted to the top of your cage. There are also little indicators on the structure, the same distance apart, that seem to be declaring different levels or heights. They look horribly unhappy to be here, but they're also impressive at ignoring any call you might have for them.

There's a door to the cage, but it won't open, even if it's just a simple-looking locking mechanism. If you peer out, it's too foggy on the ground to make out very much, but you can make out nine other, tower-like structures with similarly flapping harpies. Each one, including your own, has an emblazoned emblem of every team's patron monster, so that you can see where everyone is—it's just difficult to make out exactly who may be in each one. Even more difficult to try and communicate like this.

Attached to the door is an aged metal panel with a screen and four buttons; two to choose between the team names that appear on the dark green and black screen, and two to choose whether you wish for that team to go up or down.

After a moment, a little speaker in the corner starts playing an incredibly bad quality version of this.]

[ Absolutely, she has zero trust for all the other teams. ]

I liked this jacket too.

[ presses his hand to his face with a shaky breath. ]

... How long, exactly, will we be gone for...? Hoopa will get lonely.
nailedthelook: (Though I seem cold.)

Last time I saw what happened, our monsters will take over and have to be subdued because they'll be totally out of control. Probably a few days or something.

I never got involved with it happening to other teams though.
hijinked: (a coat made out of puppies!)

Ugh. That's...

[ pretty terrifying, actually!!! ]

... very annoying.
nailedthelook: (I'm just on my way.)

[personal profile] nailedthelook 2022-11-07 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

... Hopefully Yuji won't show up so he can stop me and Megumi after. Doubt anyone else will unless I go running at their loved one or whatever, since Gojo-senpai'll probably have his hands full too.
hijinked: (I only wished to have)

... I suppose it isn't our problem after this cage drops. They will reap what they will from their actions.
nailedthelook: (Loving what I see.)

[personal profile] nailedthelook 2022-11-07 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I hope I punch someone who picked us in the dick.
hijinked: (are you mad at me?)

[personal profile] hijinked 2022-11-07 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Please. But I want to be there to watch it happen.
nailedthelook: (Underground culture.)

Maybe someone'll record it.
