[The last thing Futaba remembered was sleeping after hearing the news. The leader of the Phantom Thieves committed suicide? Did that mean that they had succeeded in their plan? Well, it was hard to tell upon waking up in some strange pod, surrounded by water. There wasn't much for sound, but there were the soft ripples on the shallow pool around her. Sitting up, she felt something fall onto her lap.
A necklace within the box, a smart phone, a key, and a pamphlet..
She honestly didn't know what to think right now. Hearing the news was such a shock, so maybe she was still dreaming? There was a smart phone, but it wasn't the model that she owned. Well, she had no idea where hers went, but she'd eventually get to the new one in her possession. At least her laptop was lying on the side of her. She tried to take a quick glance around, almost expecting to see shadows around.]
Is this... a Palace...? But wait.... I don't recall slipping into a Palace.. [Looking down to her clothing, she was still wearing her pjs from last night.] Maybe I haven't been detected yet? It's oddly peaceful here.... Is this a safe room?
[Rather than continue to question things she had no definite answers to, she decided to look at the pamphlet, hoping there was a map in there. Instead she found instructions on how to work a smart phone.]
... Boring. Wait, whats this about this necklace? Maybe this is a Key Item? I'll hold onto it for now. [Looking onward to find the red bills] Wait, this is a Palace right? Where is everyone else? [Suddenly it's clicked that she's the only one here right now and she's sort of freaking out.] J-Joker?! Panther! Mona?!
... Skull?
......... Inari?
[While she could call for the others, she had a feeling that they'd get the same response. Silence.]
...Okay, Futaba... Calm down and take a deep breath. Let's find out where exactly we are and who's Palace this is...
[She's just hoping she can do this without Akira being here with her. She's faced random strangers before, but it was always with Akira with her. Taking her belongings with her (or so she's assuming), she headed out to try to find some answers. Please don't mind if she acts odd upon stumbling on another person.
EDIT: Whoops! Cut some off and html issues]

Action
On this trip through, he comes around the young girl. So the Spirits weren't going to stop bringing people here, even while this situation was going on.]
Hey there. [He says giving the girl a wave. She looks a bit tense at the moment and he doesn't want to freak her out.]
Action
After the initial jolt, she found herself hoping it was someone she knew, but instead she had no recollation of who this could be. Just... remember your training, Futaba. Brace yourself.]
U-Uhm.. Hi...
[She glanced down towards her hands, but her outfit didn't change. Apparently she was still not viewed as an intruder yet at the very least. Maybe she wouldn't have to worry about fighting back?]
Action
My name is David Haller and I'm Guardian of the city you are in right now. I'm here to help you get somewhere safe.
Action
Okay, Futaba... It was one person and he was trying to help her out. She could manage talking to a stranger if it meant that it would protect her here, right?]
Creatures.... Are these creatures wearing some sort of masks and have a weird shadowy look to them?
[She had to be sure, but the finger wiggle accompanied with the shadowy look was unnecessary flair that she threw in there.
Oh right... Maybe she should introduce herself in return..?]
I'm... F-Futaba Sakura. Any information about what's going on in this Pal-- place would be appreciated.
Action
I can feel you in more on this place once we have gotten you to safety. [He holds his hand out for her.]
Action
[That seemed fair at least. She hesitantly accepted his hand, hoping that he could fill her in more as they went]
Okay. Lead the way.
Action
You can sit here and relax for a little while.

Instead she found herself wondering near the Bay as she spotted a not so familiar face.]
Excuse me.... You shouldn't stand around like that.
action;
I suppose you're right... There may be shadows around....
action;
[Better than in the middle of all of this where the spirits can come at any point.]
If you'll follow me.
action;
So what exactly is going on here?
action;
[She walked, stopping just before they turned the corner.]
Stop for a moment....One of the spirits is close by.
action;
[With her stopping randomly, she nearly ran into her, but went to look at what was going on.]
Wait what? [Still no change though... Under her breath..] Necronomicon, are you there?

Now seemed a good as time as any. He has been standing just outside but close enough to use it as a bit of cover. There's a mess of spirits around after that "earthquake" but the bay area seems to be least crowded. Safer. Out of the way. They're aiming for the highly populated areas first. If one could just-
...Did Futaba Sakura just walk past him? One of the more useful Phantom Thieves. He doesn't think he's seen her on her lonesome before. That's lucky. ]
Ah. Oracle? [ Code-names for an unknown location, yes? ]

How was she going to play this though? For all she knew, he thought that Akira was dead. Hearing the news shook her up a little, but she knew he wouldn't "commit suicide". Akira was the kind of guy who was quiet, but once he made his mind up, he was stubborn and wouldn't give up so easily.
Though she wasn't exactly faking her discomfort here, she decided to keep her fake mask on, so to speak. He was the one who sold them out, but she'd have no idea otherwise that it was him, right? As much as she hated the idea of even being "friendly" with him...]
Wait, Crow? You're here too? Is... everyone else here too?
i'm so sorry about how late this is
Not yet. I've been keeping a close eye out for signs of the others but so far you're the only one to come out of there outside of myself. [ A forlorn sigh. Not that he cares too much. Some of the team would be more of a nuisance than anything else (Ryuji). He doubts Genessia would ever snatch the entire group of misfits here. That would be far too convenient. Still... familiar faces are nice in a way. Niijima would have been ideal but what can you do? ]
-Speaking of. I'm glad the timing seemed to have worked out. I wouldn't venture further out alone. It's quite unsafe.
Totally okay!
[So she was the only one besides him, but considering who she was talking to, she didn't want to take too much stock into it until she found it for herself.]
What's going on?
no subject
Well, us being stuck here aside, the cities have force fields around them and one of them cracked today. It let in soulless spirits that feed on human emotions. Touching them drains your ability to feel properly and can result in something akin to a psychotic break, or so I hear.
It's quite unnerving but one of the people in charge mentioned the Bay's waters can reverse the effects. [ A gesture behind them. ] So I've been sticking close by it until things calmed down somewhat.
no subject
I see.... [That's... something that wasn't clarified to her...] ... By that weird pod thing? Is it really safer to stick around here?

Action (I hope late is okay)
His long legs take him down his path, trying to help those wandering through the city to get to the evacuation centers. That's when he spots the young girl.
He runs over to her, his palm pushing his white hair from his face as he comes to a stop. He exhales a heavy breath and looks a little disheveled. His button down shirt is pulled from the waist of his paints and his vent is unbuttoned. Seth doesn't usually look this messy.]
Hey. You shouldn't be on the streets. Do you know where the shelters are? You should get there.
Action (totally!)
Shelters? Do you mean like a safe room or something?
Action (totally!)
Yes. They’re area’s shielded from these spirits. I can lead you there.
[He doesn’t want to leave this girl alone on the streets, more so if she doesn’t know her way.]
Can you fight?
[It’s an important question.]
Action
[Part of her wants to say yes, but truth be told, without her Persona, she really couldn't? Even then she was more useful as a navigator and hacker than a fighter.... She was more support than anything... So as much as it bugs her...]
Uhm.. Well... Sort of...? But not really.... Unless I can support others with my hacking....
Action
Possibly but even then you’d be more helpful in a bunker. My understanding of hackers is that they’re good support behind the scenes. [There isn’t anything wrong with that, Seth’s usually more of a support fighter but he’s doing what he can to help people now.]
Let’s go. Maybe you can help when you get there.
[He nods in the direction that they need to go, seeing that its littered with the daunting shadows. A sigh falls from Seth’s lips as he holds out his palm towards the creatures. Golden light dances at his fingertips as a thin thread lashes out and snakes its way through the dark creatures.]
Let’s go.
Action
Okay. I'll assess the situation as I get more information. I hope that I'll eventually be able to help in my own way.
