"Well..." You respond, shaking your head at Yosuke. "There's one more thing, but it's going to sound crazier than the rest of this..."

"Don't tell me some spooky monster came out of the TV..." Yousuke says quietly, looking at you nervously.

Chie nods at that statement, shaking somewhat herself.

Looks like you've spooked them.

"Not really." You reply, shaking your head. "It'd be easier to show you. Is there an AV room we could head to?"

"Uh... Yukiko and I are gonna pass on that." The short-haired girl in green says, waving her hands in front of her. "Lunch is almost over, anyway, and she needs to head home early after school!"

You turn to look at Yosuke, who seems to be considering it.

"Sorry, man! I've got work after school, can't see whatever weirdness you want to show me."He says, almost exactly mimicking Chie's gesture after a pause.

...Looks like they don't believe you, or think you're trying to set them up.

The bell rings, interrupting the talk and sending everyone hurrying off, the other three tossing you the containers with a thanks and scurrying off.


============

School ends after a short while, and you head out.

At the gate, it seems a small confrontation is taking place...

Yukiko and Chie are standing there, and a rather creepy looking student in the uniform of a different school is talking to them.

From what you can see, Yukiko looks somewhat worried, and Chie looks annoyed...

>>27289455
>The short-haired girl in green says, waving her hands in front of her.
Could you please not do this? It's really awkward to read. You did it a little in the last thread too. Use a consistent name for the same character when the narrator's talking.

That is to say, please don't switch between Yosuke and Hanamura, don't switch between Yosuke and "the headphones wearing boy," just use Yosuke - it makes me have to take a second to think "who's Hanamura" or "which person has headphones" to figure out you're talking about, which breaks the flow of reading.

>>27290694

Just gonna dump a quote here.

>Sometimes amateurs play “musical names” because they’re afraid that using the same name over and over again will become repetitive.

>What they don’t realize is that repetition is rarely a problem with names — names aren’t a stylistic device, they’re a signpost to guide us through the story, telling us who’s doing what. On those rare occasions when it really would be awkward to repeat the name, we already have a solution: the pronoun.

>>27291092
This.

(On rare occasion it's stylistically worthwhile to refer to someone by a property, and then to someone else by a contrasting property, but that's a special case and starts looking stupid really quickly if overdone.)

Are you an ESL speaker, by any chance? I'm told that in some other languages it is common to use multiple names, but in English you use one consistently.

>Step in

As you start over to help with the situation, you see Yosuke stop next to them as he's walking his bike through the gate

"..And trust me, buddy, they've both turned me down." He finishes as you near the gate. Seems he had the same idea as you.

"Hello, Miss Amagi, Miss Satonaka." You say, waving. "What's going on here?"

The two girls look at you, half relieved and half worried.

"This joker decided to try the Amagi Challenge without planning ahead." Yosuke says, turning to face you and pointing at the strange student with his thumb. "I was just being kind enough to let him know that even I got shot down."

The student seems to bristle at that and growls under his breath.

"FINE!" He yells, turning and running off.

You watch as he rounds the streetcorner.

"...Wh-what was that all about?" Yukiko asks, confusion on her face apparent.

"Wasn't it obvious?" Chie turns to face her friend. "He was asking you out on a date."

"Huh? Really...?"

"Man, that's cold." Yosuke says, watching as the two girls walk on. "She did the same to me last year."

Wheeling his bike past the gate, he climbs on and waves to you.

"Well, uh, see you around!"

With that, he kicks off, pedaling away.

Checking on your watch, it seems you've got some time to kill...

You decided to go look around the town.

=======

Your path took you through a small suburb, and to the old shopping district.

Standing across the street from the corner gas station, you look down the road.

Plenty of stores to go to, and you're sure there are a few more around the corner.

Hm... First, you'll go to the-

>>27292434
Well, but that was before we knew about the interesting thing! Eh, fine, plan will keep.

>Around the corner
Nearing the corner, you walk past a Chinese diner, a bulletin board, and then a small shop from which the smell of steak drifts.

Passing the closed stores on the corner, you take a look. There's a hobby store that seems to have a surprising number of boys around your age in it to the left, then a shrine and textiles shop on the right. At the end of the road, there's a liquor store, with several vending machines in front of it.

You'll go to-

What are you buying, by the by?

Let's get a stuffed animal for Nanako.

>>27292791

>>27292955

>>27292955
This sounds promising

>Textile shop

Walking up to the Tatsumi Textiles storefront, you open the door and step in.

The air-conditioning is noticeable as you take a look around.


After a moment, a gray haired woman, in a green kimono walks out from the back room.

"Oh, hello. " She says, giving a slight bow. "It's not often that we get high school students in here. How may I help you?"

"I'm looking for some craft felt and thread." You reply, setting down the scarf you had been looking at and turning to her. "And maybe a pattern for a small doll?"

"Well, we certainly have those." She says, turning to head over to the far wall. "What colors would you like?"

You pause.

"...I hadn't thought about that. Er... It's for my little cousin." You say, scratching your neck. "I'm going to be staying with my uncle and his daughter for the next year, so I figured I'd try my hand at making something for her as a gift."

The woman turns around and takes a look at you.

"You're a good boy, then, if you're willing to try sewing to have a gift for your cousin." She says, turning back around and gathering up several different colors of felt. "I wish more students were like you."

She bustles about, cutting the felt, gathering some thread, and pulling out a pattern, before speaking to you again.

"Now, the felt and thread come to 1800 yen," She says, putting the collected goods in a bag.

You pause for a moment, and are about to ask about the pattern when she interrupts you.

"Oh, you can have the pattern for free. It's always nice to see a young man interested in sewing who isn't afraid to show it." The shopkeeper says, waving you off. "If you'd like lessons, feel free to stop by on the weekend."
...You paid and left the store, giving the shop owner your thanks.
Looking around, the crowd outside of the hobby shop seems to have reduced in size, but is still there.

A glance at your watch shows that you have more time to kill.

HELL TO THE FUCK TO THE YES WE GOTTA GET OUR MODEL KIT BUILDAN ON, SON

>Hobby store
You decided to head across the street to the Marutake Hobby Shop.

Walking in, you manage to make it past the small crowd still in front of the door.

Looking around, you see more people in here than you'd expect from such a small shop, though they mostly seem to be looking browsing the various sections set aside for different series.

Finding the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, scribbling something on a notepad, you step up and tap on the counter to indicate your presence.

"If you're just here to flirt with her, she's trying to find out where ou-" He starts with a sigh, looking up from the . "Oh. A new face in this humble shop."

"I apologize for that." He says, shaking his head. "Most of my new customers are only here because of the girl I hired a few months ago."

"Not that I'm complaining, just... " He sighs again.

"Anyway, how can I help you?"

...

You ask about the models you came looking for.

...

"Oh, one of those? Yeah, we should have one or two in stock. "He says, peering towards the leftmost set of shelves. "Back there, near the corner."

You retrieve the model with little effort, picking up a hobby knife and some plastic cutters.

As the shopkeeper rings you out, you wince. This will cut into your funds for a few weeks, unless you find a job...

Paying the price, you thank the storeowner with a nod, and leave.


...Looks like you have time for one more stop.

Annnnd this is where I call it a night.

I'll give a half-hour to an hour's warning on my twitter for when I run this next.
Good night, all. Sorry about my generally slow updates.

You head over to the metalworker's shop, using window shopping as a cover for your curiosity.

>13

>Fortune Perk! +7!

>20!

You poke around the sidewalk some. There's something here, you can tell, but you can't quite place what it is, but it's right... HERE-

The door of the foundry opens loudly, and a gruff looking man steps his head out, looking at you.

"Hey, kid. If you want to look, it's easier from inside." He says, glancing at the spot you're standing by, before walking back in.

You turn back to look again, but after a minute of looking, you can't seem to find the spot again.
...

>Step inside?

>>27304523

>>27304523
Might as well go in and take a look around. An actual look around, mind you, this stuff is kinda interesting even if you can't really afford anything.

Also, state that the windows outside his shop give reflect the light in strange patterns. If he reacts at all to us noting that area specifically, then he probably knows what that weird feeling was.

That, or Yu has started a slow descent into madness.

>>27304523

>>27305129

>Writing

>Go inside and make polite conversation

Leaving the suspicious spot alone, you step inside the Daidara Metalworks.

The place is a mess.

From what you can see, a literal ton of various weapons, armors, and tools are strewn around the shelves on the walls.

There are even a few piles of stuff on the floor.

"Kid," The man says, looking at you from behind the counter. "You're the fourth person to stop and look around that same spot in the past three days. What's so damn interesting about it?"

...That's surprising.

"Well..." You pause for a moment, scrambling your brain for an excuse. "That window was reflecting in an odd pattern. I was wondering what it was."

He gives you a look.

"Well, if you say so..." He mutters, before speaking louder. "Anyway, welcome to Daidara Metalworks. I'm Master Daidara. Feel free to take a look around."

He thumps his thumb into his chest with that, before gesturing at the mess that is the store.

...

You spend a few minutes looking around, before your curiosity gets the better of you.

"Erm..." You start, catching the attention of the smith as he's hammering at... Something you can't make out. "If you don't mind me asking, how did you get that scar?"

Daidara looks up from his work, squinting at you.

"It's a long story." He says, looking off to the side somewhat."But when I was about your age, a few friends of mine and I were messing around with some things on a bet. Needless to say, it stopped being fun after I got this."

...Well then.

"So kid? Be careful with weaponry. That stuff hurts."

...

You browsed the store a bit before leaving.

Well, when she and the other two are walked, they're ALMOST a cerberus,...

>>27306281
Okay, but watch out for bosses, after you beat one your cerberus will be teleported away, never to be seen again.

>Home
You decided to head home.
...

As you walk back into the Dojima residence and set your bag to the side, you see your uncle and cousin seated in the living room, half-full dishes on the table between them.

"Ah, there you are." Dojima says, waving you over. "Nanako told me that you shared some of the lunch you made with her."

"It was really good!" The girl pipes in cheerfully, looking at you almost pleadingly. "Can you make more tomorrow?"

You pause at that. The whole thing was...

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do that again." You say, shaking your head sadly. "That was a fluke, and I've even forgotten what I used."

Nanako's expression falls at that.

"But don't worry! I'm sure I can make something almost as good tomorrow!" You continue, watching as your cousin perks up.

"Heh." You turn to Dojima, who's smiling at the conversation. "Looks like you two are getting along well already. I was worried that you wouldn't."


"Anyway, sit down and eat. I'm guessing you took a look around to see what's where?" He says, nodding at your bag. "What did you get?"

"Oh, a model and some sewing supplies." You say, causing Dojima's eyebrow to raise. "I figured I'd need something to do for a bit, and I could try to do something creative. "

"Huh. Wouldn't have figured you for the crafty type." He says, shrugging. "Well, it's your time."

...You ate in relative silence, with occasional small talk.

=========

After dinner, you realized it would be a bit longer before you needed to go to sleep...
Dojima is sitting at the kitchen table again, reading a newspaper.
Nanako is watching TV

Well, he probably will, but only after the world's pretty much been nuked to hell, becoming a wasteland where demons and ancient gods wander freely, where he'll probably have to undertake a quest to restore balance or some shit like that.

>>27306960
I laughed way to hard at this

>>27306911
That actually bothered me a bit in the beginning of P4.

At the start I wanted to tell Dojima what was up, since we'd have the opportunity. The fact he's our uncle means we'd get the chance for him to hear us out.

Tell Dojima what happened, then show.

>>27306968
I aim to please.

>>27306987
I figured he wouldn't believe us, the second Yu stuck his hand in the TV in front of the others I had that thought though. I was annoyed that I never got the option to tell him.

>TV+Sewing
You head upstairs, to your room.

Maybe the Shadow living in your TV knows something about sewing, you think as you lock your room door and set down your bag.


Standing in front of your TV, you come to an odd realization...

How the hell are you going to knock?

Eventually screen IS basically the door, you give it a few light raps, before sticking your head in and squeezing the rest of your body through, craft supplies and tools in hand.

...Maybe you should get a bigger TV when you have the money, you think as you fall into the white room, landing in a crouch.


Looking around, you see the Shadow lounging on a couch, an old TV set in front of him apparently showing the antics of a brightly colored cartoon bear.

"Yo." He says, waving back to you absently. "Thanks for knocking."

"Not a problem." You say, shrugging. "Figured I'd drop in for a bit, maybe sew some stuff."

The Shadow stands up, turning to look at you.

"Sew? You're kidding, right?" He asks, looking at you. "You know, next you'll tell me you cook, fence, are a star soccer player, and all that shit."

You give him a quizzical look.

"The other me's a jack of all trades." He says, eying you carefully. "You're more like him than I thought, but you somehow aren't him..."

"Anyway!" The Shadow seems to want to get his mind off of that... Odd. "I can help you out some, if you want. I'm crashing in your dungeon, so I may as well pay rent somehow."

...

The two of you got started on the bear project, getting the fabric cut to the right specifications, before the Shadow seems to twitch.

"Well what do you know." He says, looking to the door. "Sounds like the lesser Shadows are pissseeedddd at something."

[spoilers]OP, what is True Resurrection Mode?

Are the story derails a result of the Difficulty Mode, and Shadow Yu a result of choosing Everything? Do we have unlimited funds?[/spoilers]

>>27307402
Oh, wait. Misread the second question.


"Maybe"

>>27307419
So Shadow Yu appearing MIGHT be because we chose the Deck?

OP, how much longer do you have? Enough to do another thing after checking out the shadows and stuff?

>>27307419
A Shadow like him would have shown up regardless of who you chose, to be honest.

>>27307411
True Resurrection Mode. He isn't.

>>27307438
Hm... It's 11 PM, and I have no work (again) tomorrow.


I'll run until I feel like I need to sleep.


And fights will be a good deal faster than talking, since it's something that DOESN'T require me to keep characters completely in character.

>>27307440
I thought the TV was too small for us to go through.

If this was the Persona 4 videogame, what would have choosing all cards mean? I figured having 'Coins' meant we get a shit ton of money to spend. What does taking the Deck mean mechanically? Is that something you can reveal, or will we find out soon anyway?

How consistent will we be? Lets say cooking. I'm no great cook so I mostly cook fast, plain food. Sometimes I"ll look up a recipe and make something fancy like chicken francese (sp?). But I won't burn my food 45% of the time, set my house on fire 5% of the time and then make it extremely good somehow 5% of the time.

>>27307520
>5% chance of setting your house on fire
You must be really, really bad at cooking.

>>27307520


In order:
You can squeeze through, uncomfortably. A bigger set would be a hell of a lot easier to pass through.
Wouldn't you like to know.
I'll try to keep consistent. If it's a basic dish, I won't even ask for a roll, but if you want to try your hand at something far more advanced, I'll ask for a roll. The first time was the "First crit success" bonus burning up.

>>27307561

He's taking about d20 dice.

>>27307608
Do we know how to make the ambrosia again without a roll?
Because I'd totally want to remember how I made something like that.

>>27307634
we wil probably have to make it a few more times and even then we would only get a bonus to rolling to make it

>>27307634
Nope. Flash of insight, ect.


Trial and error, though, could get you knowledge of it with time (and a high cooking skill, which I forgot to add to the sheet until now)

>>27307669
Seems like everyone is set on checkin it out.

Oh, can we ask him if recorders could work? Like bringing IN a camera. Or just recording the Midnight Channel

>>27307762
Yeah, you can.


>Writing

>you are the fourth person to check that out
>fourth
>FOURTH
FULL MC PARTY CONFIRMED WHOO

You know, Dojima and Yu are being a bit irresponsible. What if the missing person thing happening, we should escort her to school.

>>27307762
Recording the Midnight channel ain't gonna work. In the anime Yu abused the poor record button when Rise's shadow showed up. When he tried to play it back all he got was static.

>>27307963
That's the anime. Even if thats true OOC its worth asking IC partly because Yu doesnt know it.

OP fall asleep?

>Check it out

You set down the sewing material, standing up and walking towards the door.

"May as well see what's gotten them riled up." You say as you near it, looking for a handle.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" The Shadow starts, standing up and following. "You ain't gonna try anything STUPID, are you? Those things don't care WHO you are, unless they're pretty damn powerful. Even then, it's a luck if they don't try to kill ya."

"...What do you suggest, then?" You ask after a moment, looking to the Shadow again.

"Relax, let them eat the dumb bastard who ticked them off, and get back to sewing."

You pause, looking the Shadow in the eye.

"Ah, crap. You ARE too much like him." He says, sighing. "Know what? Fine. I'll even give you a hand, if ya want."

"Just gimmie a second to get ready for this." The Shadow seems to head over to the corner of the room, rummaging though... Something.

...There's a lull.

"Er... I've got a couple of questions, if you're able to answer them at the moment." You say, catching his attention.

"Shoot!"

"First, if I bring anyone else in here, will a Shadow of them form and try to kill them? If so, can it be prevented?"

"Depends on tha' person." The Shadow replies, still digging through whatever it is he's searching. "A kid probably won't, since they don't have as much of a self-image built up yet. Anyone older, though? Whooboy. They sure will get a shadow to form for them."

"The only way to keep 'em from getting killed by it is to get them to accept it, and their own faults."

...That information sounds interesting.

"Now, special cases, like yourself, either have something keeping their Shadow from forming, or have nothing hidden from themself. Not sure which you are."

...More interesting.

(1/2)

>>27308360
(2/2)

"Next question, then." You say, filing those tidbits away for later use. "Do you know if I could record inside of here with a phone or video camera or something?"

"Not a damn clue. Probably not, though." The Shadow seems to find his goal, standing up and brandishing... A pair of cheap glasses

"HERE we go." He says, throwing them to you. "Found 'em a while back, and thought they might come in handy. ."

>>27308382
Thank your shadow and slap them on in a stylish manner. May I suggest in the style of Horatio Caine?

I am pretty sure that if he wanted to kill Yu with glasses, he would have done it when he first saw him.

Unless OP wants to amend my statement?

>>27308360
>>"The only way to keep 'em from getting killed by it is to get them to accept it, and their own faults."
Judging how the Shadow described itself, and what the Limousine guy said, I think Yu would know that Shadows are meant to make them confront their "Selves".

>>"Now, special cases, like yourself, either have something keeping their Shadow from forming, or have nothing hidden from themself. Not sure which you are."

Maybe we should tell him about our dream. What Philemon said, and that we just took the entire Deck. He may know something, anything.

>...Thanks?
>What do they do?
>Tell the Shadow about our DREAM prior to coming here, and the Velvet Room.

>>27308382

>>27308454
I wouldn't tell him too much yet. He may be unwittingly working for, or controlled by, Nyarly. Or he may infer (correctly or otherwise!) that we ARE the real Yu that he's supposed to try to kill, and then do that.

>>27308454

I just reread the first thread. That voice was Igor, not Philemon.


>And across from you, you notice the source of that voice. A hunchbacked man with an abnormally long nose sits, hands clasped in front of his grinning face, in the middle of the bench at that end.


>>27308512
...Couldn't he even BE Nyarly?

>>27308512
He can sense that we aren't, so I don't that would happen.

>Is it masturbation if we had sex?

>So, thank him, question, and put them on?

Yes. All of these questions can be insightful. One can give an amusing answer/reaction.

>>27308614
yeah, I think that's the gist of it

>Rolling for how bad the pun is, then.

>>27308454
I want to tell him. We might get *some* kind of question out of the Deck and not being contracted thing.

Yeah, what I suspect is actually happening there is that something's either blocking his senses or Fooling them.

Mostly because the Shadow being the one to deny the original would be _hilarious_.

>>27308867
He seems to have knowledge on what we're "supposed to be like" though. Typical, canon Yu, which we are not.

>Thank, questions

"...Thanks, I guess?" You say, looking at the flimsy frames.

"Anyway, thinking about it, I have a few more questions before we go out investigating." You continue, holding the glasses up. "First, what do these do?"

"Help you see better, dumbass." The Shadow replies, grinning. "There's some nasty fog out there. Those babies seem to make it easier to see through it."

"...You couldn't have phrased it nicer, could you?" You mutter, before speaking up. "Alright, next. Ever hear of a place called the Velvet Room?"

The Shadow seems to pause at that, and...

Did he just FLICKER with static?

"Nope." He says, looking at you VERY appraisingly, his voice sounding somewhat deeper than what passes for normal. "Sounds like a very cool club, though. Care to get me in?"

>19 v DC 17

...You get a feeling that doing that would be a horrible idea, for some reason, and shake your head, causing the Shadow to sigh.

"Anyway, ya ready to go?" The Shadow asks, his voice back to normal and no longer flickering with static.
