>Interlude: the Aeon

>?????, ???, ???

...You're lost, you realize as you walk through the dark street, white fog cutting off your field of view.

So lost you can't even remember how you got here...

Was it on a train, or something?

...

You look up to the waxing moon...

........

A thought stirs in your brain, and you hastily pull out your notebook and write....

...

You finish writing the poem, and look over it...

...
It's trash, you think, crumpling it. You drop the paper and continue onwards.


======

>?????, ???, ???

... The moon is larger now, you notice as you continue your walk...

... It's been some time since you've eaten, you realize as a feeling of wooziness hits you and you slump to the ground...

....


...Footsteps?

"Ah... There you are." A female voice- familiar, somehow- says as those steps grow louder.... "Foolish of him to let you loose like that, for just anyone to find..."

You can barely keep your eyes open as you look towards the source...

"It's not good for you to be out in this fog, you know." It continues, getting even closer.

Finally getting moving your head enough, you see... A white dress? No...

A white kimono...

"Don't worry. You'll be able to rest peacefully soon enough." The woman says as you feel her picking you up...

....The world goes black as you fall into unconsciousness, feeling the bumping of being carried by someone as you go...


>Interlude end

>PREVIOUSLY

Setting down the toy as you notice the clock approaching midnight, you move to stand in front of the TV, ready to watch the Midnight Channel.

Ticking down slowly, the minute turns to midnight and-
....The world stops. The second hand of the clock stops ticking at 12 o'clock, and everything takes on a greenish hue. The TV remains still and silent, and the lights blank out, leaving the room illuminated only by the moonlight filtering through your window.


>WHAT THE FUCK

>Write in

>>27905574
Tap the TV to be sure.
Call Yosuke to see if he's experiencing the same thing.

>>27905574
Tap/turn on TV.

Check on family while calling Minako and everyone else. A phone conference/shared phone thing.

>>27905574
That's new. and bad. Call the expert. Also, look outside.

>WHAT THE FUCK
Reaching to the TV screen, you tap it.

The familiar ripples form, but they seem... Off somehow. Your gut tells you to not reach into the Midnight Channel right now...

Moving to the window as you take out your phone, you take a glance outside. The entire neighborhood is like that, and the full moon looks larger and... More malevolent than before.

...Your phone isn't working. It's completely dead.

Moving out the door to check on Nanako and Dojima, you feel... Something, and the world looses it's green hue.

...Your phone begins to ring. From the caller ID, it's... Yosuke.

>>27905885
Well, shit. pick it up.

>>27906055
This is to get a nice array of rolls for future Notice checks.

I'll be taking the first roll from set 1, the first roll from set 2, and so on when one is needed.


So the first Notice check you make is going to be a 1 x2.

I still need one more set, note.

Rolled 6, 19, 10, 6, 13 = 54

>>27906167
Why are you making people roll 5d20 each? It shouldn't even be possible to get x2 1s. Did you change the rules for a third time? Because first you said people misunderstood and would only take one from each.

25 rolls of 1d20 is just setting us up for critfails. And lets be honest. /tg/dice does not give 20s anywhere near as often as 1s.

>>27906221
Nope.

>>27905959 and >>27905972 are NOT linked to the post asking for the roll. They don't count.


These are the valid rolls.

Thems the rules, pal.


>>27906265
It's for FIVE notice checks, prerolled, so I won't bog up space/time asking for rolls, or give away "THERE'S SOMETHING TO NOTICE".


I'm asking for 5d20 because that lets me take one from each set for each of five Notice checks.

>>27906309
...Alright, I'm going to clear this up, because upon looking back, it's confusing.


When I ask for Xd20 to pre-roll Notice checks, I'm going to do the following.


First notice check of the thread: Take the first d20 from each set, in order, as the roll for that.

Second notice check of the thread: Take the second d20 from each set, in order, as the roll for that.

And so on, until I run out.


Anyway

>Writing

>Answer it

"Hanamura?" You say in a hushed tone, holding the phone to your ear.

"Dude, did the world-" He starts, obviously scared.

"Turn green as all electronics stopped working?" You interrupt quietly, cracking open Nanako's room and seeing her sleeping peacefully.

"Because yeah, that happened to me. I'm checking on my cousin and uncle, then I'll cal-"


Your phone beeps. Checking, it looks like you've just gotten an email from Minako...

"Okay, just got an email from her. I'll get back to you afterwards." You say, putting the phone back to your ear.

"Alright, man. I'll check with Tatsumi, since I don't doubt that Amagi and Satonaka are on the phone right now." Yosuke replies, and you hear the beep of the call ending.


Pulling up the email, it seems hastily composed.

...From what you can make out, it seems she wants to meet you as soon as possible, and... Can't talk on the phone, for some reason.

Here's what I found. Though it may be slightly inaccurate, I did count for 17 threads. I did not count GoldenOP rolls.
Thread 2: 4 Critfail, 3 Critpass
Thread 3: 1 Critfail, 0 Critpass
Thread 4: 1 Critfail, 0 Critpass
Thread 5: 3 Critfail, 1 Critpass
Thread 6: 0 Critfail, 0 Critpass
Thread 7: 1 Critfail, 3 Critpass
Thread 8: 2 Critfail, 1 Critpass

Thread 15: 2 Critfail, 4 Critpass
Thread 16: 1 Critfail, 2 Critpass
Thread 17: 2 Critfail, 3 Critpass
Total: 31 Critfail, 27 Critpass

So, for the first 10 threads where we rolled, we had a 1:5 ratio. Now it has slightly evened out, although /tg/ dice does seem to favor critfails over critpasses by around 1/8th. Granted, there aren't enough crits to get an accurate sample. A Fortune 3 that lets us negate a 1 per thread would help.

Rolled 19, 2, 17, 13, 6 = 57

>>27906960
Oh, and I dont think Notice checks were always counted. Tired. And I meant a 1.5 critfail for 1 critpass ratio.

Yeah, we can just give a quick explanation.

"Hey, can you hold on this? Apparently, if people I'm close enough to hold onto these cards, your Arcana gets attuned with it. Then when I take the card back, I can summon a Persona off it. You're the Hierophant arcana, by the way."

...Something like that. That actually feels a bit too expositiony and meta.

>It also makes Yu sound like a self-centered dick.

Yes. So lets not use it. GoldenOP should get the idea though.

Ask him, tell him a shorthand reason for it.

>>27907512
Can you tell us what they each do?

>>27907512
i vote for upgrading unarmed and heavy blade

>>27907512
Ooh, nice sounding perks. Do Cleave and Elec Boost work like in the game? Because we kind of have Cleave already just from Izanagi being able to make physical attacks, so it seems weird to have it be a distinct ability.

>>27907586
OP, how much EXP do we have of each category? Either way I think we should first get Fortune 2.5.

Improving our Notice & Acrobatics would also be worth it, outside of perks. No *real* point in Unarmed.

>>27907512
Heavy blades

Keep the EXP for the future.

Seriously, we can't buy anything else more useful or buy heavy blades and something else.

Let train with chie to get unarmed up.

How can she kick so hard that shadows die. We need fucking swords and hammer and knifes. Even magic.

I call bullshit on chie doing things bare handed..

>>27907512
Save for Fortune. If anything has been a real problem for us in terms of difficulty, it's critical failures.

>>27907705
Well, yeah. Chie's not fighting with her hands, after all. Just her feet, which are covered with footwear.

Anyways, I would prefer to bank the XP, for now. Skills could be leveled with interaction within quest, and I think we should save for Fortune.

>>27907512
Er, meant to say buy it, not save it. Since it seems we can purchase it /now/

>>27907802
Few ways to look at it:
1. Kung fu. She knows enough of it, and has steel toe boots to go with it. So it's like being hit with a strong blunt object.
2. Shadow combat operates in a way like a JRPG would, where Lvl 1 Guns is about as good as Lvl 1 Unarmed in terms of damage.

Could be a bit of both, even

>>27907802
>Footwear

>Sneakers

>same as two handed swords, hammers, knifes and MAGIC.

She must be using a buff or something.

>>27907934
>Lvl 1 gun=lvl 1 unarmed

...care to explain how?

>>27907999
Did you read the first half of what you quoted? And I hope you're not that faggot from PGQ who gets really worked up and derides everyone he doesnt like for being a "shadowrunner".

>>27907687
>Until you have rank 2 in Heavy Blades, Magic, or Unarmed, the Xp is going to them. General XP is listed in the XP bank on the sheet.

>The "Available for purchase" means they've been revealed, even if you don't meet the requirements for them.

>>27907999
It's standard RPG logic. Guns don't have as much damage as they would in the real world, because just shooting the target has insufficient style. It needs to be flashier than that. Not to mention it would end the encounter too soon to be challenging. So guns tend to actually be one of the weaker weapons in a lot of games, Persona included. Aigis and Naoto have guns, but they don't do that much damage with them.

>>27907999
JRPG. Everything is balanced against eachother. They could literally be balanced to the point that for the purpose of the quest, a Lvl 1 gunslinger is as good at killing Shadows in the TV World as a lvl 1 martial artist.

Isn't it obvious? Whenever The Queen In Yellow strikes a Shadow, they eventually die in ecstasy from the mix of pain and pleasure

>>27908421
Yessir. Can I go to sleep yet?

>Meet tonight
>Tell Dojima

You reply with a quick text saying you'll meet her at a location of her choice.

Heading downstairs on a gut instinct, you hear the sound of the door closing, and see Dojima step into the kitchen.

"Oh, Yu." He says, catching sight of you. "What are you doing up so late?"

"Something supernatural is going on." You reply, glancing around at the electronics. Everything seems to be working. "Things just stopped for about thirty seconds. Did you notice anything like that?"

He shakes his head.

"Are you sure you aren't just tired?" He asks hopefully.

"I know at least two other people experienced it, including Miss Arisato." You shrug. "She sent me an email asking me to meet her to talk."

The beep of your phone catches your attention, and a quick check shows where.

"At the flood plain." You continue, looking at Dojima. "I'll keep in touch, but you should stay and keep an eye on Nanako."


...Dojima sighs.

"You're right." He says, rubbing his brow. "Alright, be careful, and send me messages when you're there and on the way back."

You nod, pulling out one of the blank cards from your jacket pocket.

"Mind keeping this on you, for a while, too?" You ask, handing it to him. "It'd take too long to explain now, but I promise I'll tell you when I get back."

"Alright." He says, taking it. "Now get going, if you're in such a rush."

You hurry past, pulling on your shoes and heading out the door.


....

With a short walk, you're at the familiar entrance to the flood plains.

Minako is nowhere nearby, but the email did say to meet at the bench, so...

Head to the pavilion, don't sit just yet, though. Stay standing with one hand on the hilt of our sword and the other clutching our card. Just in case. We got attacked last time we were here, and now there's been weird magic ghost world stuff. Paranoia is a healthy trait in this line of work.

>>27908988
Yes. Hopefully we're not too jumpy and wind up accidentally skewering Minako. But crazy magic ghost world demands cautiousness.

>Wait at pavilion, but be ready for potential violence.

...Arriving at the table, you glance around. That spot where the JOKER self-destructed now has grass that looks to be newly planted in it, though it seems to be wilting.

Damn, that was a close one, you think, as you remember it.

You wait, ready for anything that may show up.

...A few minutes pass, and you catch sight of...


Yeah, it's Minako moving down the path towards you. She seems upset. Close to outright panic, even.

"Hey." You say, waving to catch her attention. "I'm guessing that green scale thing was bad?"

She nods, taking a few breaths.

"That was the Dark Hour." She says, looking around nervously, watching the sky. "Or, at least, something like it."

...Can't be good.

"It shouldn't have happened, though. He sealed Her, he sealed it. They stopped." She continues, panic seeping back into her voice. "And it's back. She called me and told me it came back. "

Explain this shit. What result is to be declared? We know the roll pool, we see the rolls, we know the result before we decide whether to use this perk or not

>>27911048
We don't know the DC, so we don't know for sure if it succeeded or failed until OP posts his next story chunk.

So if we use Fortune2 he has to rewrite it? That makes no sense

>>27911157
We usually start discussing using our Fortune perks pretty quickly after a bad roll. He doesn't need to rewrite anything because we're at least heavily considering using them before he actually writes anything.

>It stopped, and you have backup. You can relax.

You sigh.

"Look," You say, stepping forwards and putting your hand on her shoulder. "Calm down. Whatever that was stopped, and you've got the Investigation Team helping out."

"Things will be fine. Just take a minute" You continue, looking her in the eyes.

...She seems to relax a bit at that, taking a few breaths.

"Alright," She says after a moment. "I'm less outright terrified now."

There's a pause, and you step back.

"That thing that happened- the world stopping- was a phenomena known as the Dark Hour." She says, rubbing the side of her head. "It was going on for almost ten years, with only a certain few people able to experience it."

You nod.

"The group I was a part of- SEES- put an end to it a year or so ago." She continues. "When Makoto managed to seal the cause of it, at the cost of his life."

"...Oh." You say. "This is very bad, then, isn't it?"

"Worse, it's a full moon." She continues, shuddering. "Powerful Shadows appeared in the dark hour those nights for the year we tried to stop it, each associated with an arcana."

...You now know why she was looking at the sky nervously...

"I haven't seen any signs of one appearing, and their source was dealt with, but..."

"Alright. Now what's 'it', if it's not the Dark Hour? Who told you about it?" You glance upwards, seeing nothing.

"She's the same person who led us here." Minako replies, shaking her head. "The most powerful perception-related Persona user in years?"

"She said she felt Tatarus form again, but it vanished just before the Dark Hour ended for good. Something brought it back, and the Dark Hour with it."


"So it's either the source of both is back, or something else created a Dark Thirty-Seconds and restored Tatarus for it." You mutter. Neither sounds good, at all...

...Minako seems calmer now.

Ask what exactly happens during the Dark Hour. She said time stops and only some people experience it? We were in our room by our self, so we didn't notice anything like that. What happens to other people during it?

>>27917402
"Well, if it stays thirty seconds long, at least we won't have worry about powerful Shadows during it."

Also mention that the TV world felt odd.

(Neither Yu nor Minako know this, but there's some canon justification for a temporary, artificial post-sealing Dark Hour in P4Arena. And off-time, at that!)

>>27917402
Something like this, but don't use the dialogue please. I know it's bad and don't want any spaghetti or just plain clunky dialogue to seep in.

"How bad was all of this? As bad as now, before we found out about this?

We got the TV World, which is new. Then JOKER. Now the Dark Hour. I don't think we should discount anything previously thought as being dealt with popping back up. Think the Security Dept. can dig up some old files?"

"Tell me more about the Dark Hour. Then I have some things to ask/tell you."

Inquire about backup, though we don't seem to need it *right now*. Though the Food Court junction itself is really good since we can escape the Reaper. We'd need something similar.

>Questions

"Alright. What originally caused it?" You ask, looking to her.

She seems to think for a moment...

"An experiment gone wrong, that either created or called a Shadow far greater than anything else." She says. "It was split, and the Dark Hour started on the same night."

"The Shadow was reformed and defeated, though." She says, shaking her head. "So this is probably from something else."

...Seems she's thinking clearer now.

"I'm sorry, but... This is something I can't talk about right now. Not when this just happened."

...You nod.

...Seems she's muttering something under her breath.

"It can't be happening again... Not after all that.."

...Time to distract a bit.

"Anyone still at the offices?" You ask, dragging her out of her thoughts. "Because it's looking like old stuff is coming back. It might be good to see about the old cases relating to Persona...."

She nods at that.

"Fuuka is near the archives we had. I'll call her back and ask her to check." Minako says, putting her finger on her chin in thought. "And those two are probably nearby, too.... I'll give them a call in the morning."

"Good to know. Any update from Elizabeth?"

"No, none within the last few-" She starts, then her eyes narrow. "Igor told you her name, huh?"

She sighs. "Well, at least the Velvet Room is open for you again. That will let you start fusing when you get more Persona."

At this, you grin.

"Us, actually." You say, noticing the surprise in her eyes. "Evidently, it can support up to four Wild Cards now."
"Though it sounds like Elizabeth took the... Book, I guess, containing all of the Persona information."

This gets a nod.

"The Persona compendium is what she uses to fight." Minako says. "So we're starting from scratch on this one? I guess I'll need to register the two I have with me when I can get in there."

...That's right. You've only seen Jack Frost in use, and she's been talking about another one she's reluctant to use...

Still. That will help out.

"Another thing, though." You start, feeling your phone and remembering that talk with Igor. "It seems like stuff relying on external communication, like cellphones, doesn't work in the Midnight Channel. If it turns out normal radios don't work either, is there any chance you could get us special equipment that will?"

"Oh, yeah, absolutely." She says after a moment. "The Shadow Response Unit is backed by the Kirijo Group, who managed to make equipment that works in the Dark Hour. We've got backup gear at base, if we really need it. Probably one or two people to spare, too, if things get bad enough."

...Seems everything important has been covered.

A test I forgot to take earlier in the week, then an offer of dinner out from kinfolk, actually.


Yeah, I'm bad at time balancing.

>>27920744
>Say goodbye and go home, giving her one of the blank cards beforehand?

I think we've covered everything we need to, given that she's still a bit too shaken by the thought of the Dark Hour returning to talk about it. So just hand her a card, explain that's how we get new Personas, and then bid her farewell for the night.

>>27920744
>Say goodbye and go home, giving her one of the blank cards beforehand?

>>27920744

>Do you think that later, we should find a good BoO that also has a safespot from the Reaper in the TV World? Because going to a department store and talking about Persona stuff isn't very good. Or having to sneak in there at night, let alone with things like weapons.

>What was this about artificial personae? Apparently Evoker users are halfway between artificial and natural persona users.

>CARD, say what we found out about the deck so far

>Mention that we may be able to fuse our Persona together and other neat stuff like that we asked Igor about

Wheres everyone else, even?

Hey guys, I just had a crazy thought. With the whole Sea of Souls thing and the fact that Minako is is here I thought about something. Of course this is just my wild speculation. Shouldn't their be a third attendant to the Velvet Room?

This came into my head only because I thought of Yu fighting people with the Persona Compendium as a weapon. I thought it might fit with the whole 'I am represented by the deck' thing. That's when I thought about it. We have knowledge, at least flashes of it, that we shouldn't have. We are quite literally something else.

Could Yu maybe be....Theodore? The even look a little similar. Feel free to call me a crazy loon for even thinking of this.

>>27921236
Margaret should have responded to us, in that case. He's her brother, too. I suppose she could just be as unaware of it as he is due to, but it seems pretty out there. We'll put down as a possibility, but I wouldn't count on it.

>>27921236
Can you explain a bit? I only know the SoS is a location and Minako is Misato's sister for this quest. I know little of Persona. Why would there be a third?

The flashes of knowledge thing I think is normal for Persona users, or WCs at least

>>27921306
In the PSP version of P3, you could have Elizabeth's brother, Theodore as your Velvet Room attendant instead of her.

>>27921306
>>27921236
Er, I meant that FeMC doesn't mean Theodore is us, or that Theodore was chosen in P3. Because this isn't exactly FeMC. Minako is Minato's sister and a fellow WC. It's still the canon P3, but Minako showed up. Or was it cousin? I dont remember.

Maybe we could end up as an Attendant, though. He does have silver hair. Though it's darker and he has grey eyes (Izanagi has yellow, though) instead of yellow.

>>27921306
>>27921412
>Minako is Misato's sister for this quest.
>Minako is Minato's sister and a fellow WC

Nothing actually supports that. The one time P3's protag was mentioned by name, it was by his movie surname, Makoto. They KNEW each other before SEES, though. Could have even been cousins or something. But P3 protag's name in this quest is probably Makoto Yuuki.

>>27921120
Lets do this and move on

>>27921306
>Minako is NOT Makoto's sister.

>>27921440
>Movie first name, you mean.

>>smile brilliantly, stepping forwards and offering her a handshake.
>>"I'm Yu Narukami. Pleasure to meet you, miss..?" You say, continuing to smile.
>>Dojima seems to sigh behind you. Why woul-
>>"Arisato." She says, shaking your hand and-...Is she copying you with the whole brilliant smile thing? "Minako Arisato, member of the Shadow Response Unit. Good to meet you, Narukami."

Was I the only one weirded out by this?

>>27921301
>>27921371
>>27921412
I was mostly thinking of the fact that everything seems to be screwed up here. For one matter the Joker is running around and the Dark Hour is making a return. Theodore is also the youngest of the siblings. Which means that he was the last to come into existence. Theo's presence could have been erased with the level of fuckery that is going on here. However I don't think one simple 'erases' a velvet room attendant. So he could have be stripped of his power and from other peoples memories.

Or heck, maybe since things are a little different if I'm right, which is a colossal if, it could just be that velvet room attendants were normal people that pledged to help Igor or became so because it was their 'destiny'. We have simply yet to join. After all, the three attendants don't have to be blood related to think of each other as siblings.

Like I said before though. HUGE speculation. Glad to know though that that people think it has some merit

Fuck!

I had an idea!

Daidara mentioned several people went near the VR right? There's a chance people not part of the SRU drifted to it. Like the JOKER summoner. We could try to get Dojima, Minako or us ourselves ask him for their descriptions

>>27921488
>>Movie first name, you mean.

Right, apparently. I couldn't be sure whether it was flipped to Western order or not whenever I saw it in text, so I assumed Yuuki was his given name because somebody (Junpei, I think) screamed it out in one of the trailers.

>>27921561
>I had been expecting you to ask that in thread FOUR, you know.

>>27921440
That's the western name order, though. So Makoto is his personal name, not surname. He could be Makoto Arisato for all we know. But you're right, we don't know anything about Minako's relationship to P3 MC. It could be anything. She could be his cousin, his half-sister, his adopted sibling, his childhood friend... there isn't nearly enough data to guess at this point. She knew Makoto before the events of P3, and came into the plot because she was looking for him. That's all we have to go by. We'll have to find out later.

>>27921629
DENY THE OBVIOUS!

UPHOLD THE INANE!

>>27921629
Why? We didn't know what was going down with the alterations to the plot back then. For all we know it was just people with some spiritual sensitivity being able to notice it, and it was a throw-away line. Sort of a "wink wink, nudge nudge, yeah it's the Velvet Room" bit. We didn't know about JOKER or Minako, or anyone else who would have a vested interest in it.

>>27921714
Fair enough.

>>27921561
>>27921752
Bring it up too, then? Could be written out as a light bulb in his head going off (rather lately). I think GoldenOP has a point though.

I honestly wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't go back to the thread to read it.

>A few more things
>Say goodbye and go home.

"That's great." You say, getting a nod.

....Oh, that's right.

"Er... I also found out some more stuff from Igor that might be important later. Like the fact that the deck represents 'unlimited potential'." You say, catching Minako's attention again as you pull a card out of your pocket and hold it out to her. "So... Mind holding onto this for a bit? These things are evidently how I'll gain new Persona, so long as they're attuned to an arcana."

She takes it, looking at it carefully.

"Huh. Makoto wound up with new ones just from fighting Shadows... He said that cards appeared in front of him, with various symbols on them...." She trails off, before shaking her head and putting the card away. "Alright, though. I'll give it back to you if I notice it changing any."

"Thanks." You say, thinking for a second. "Oh, and there's one more thing. From what Igor said, people who use Evokers are halfway between artificial Persona users and true Persona users. Know anything about that?"

...Minako goes silent for a moment.

"I think I do. We have the potential to use Persona naturally, but we forcibly manifest them with the Evokers." She says. "I think if we faced our Shadows, we could draw out our 'true' Persona and use them without the Evoker."

....There's a pause as the two of you digest that.

"Well, whatever it is that's going on shouldn't be that bad to deal with." You say, shrugging. "I mean, worst comes to worst, you can call in other people to help. We can beat it."


"You're sure confident." Minako says with a small chuckle. "I was terrified when I felt the Dark Hour start again. Talking to you calmed me down, though."

"Thanks."

...You feel like you understand Minako a bit better.

>You can feel a new bond forming...


...The two of you parted ways.

Arriving back at the house, you find Dojima sitting at the table, glass of water next to him and yesterday's newspaper in front.

"So, I'm guessing things are fine?" He asks, looking at you with baggy eyes.

>Write in

>Sheet updated

>>27921986
"Not at all, things are going to hell, and we have no clue as to why. There's no immediate danger yet, though, so the only thing we can do for now is keep calm and try to figure things out."

>>27921986

"Yes. You know how JOKER was supposed to be dead? The Dark Hour--something Minako dealt with is back. Apparently time stops for most people at midnight, but for those it doesnt, the world turns green and Shadows appear. But it lasted 30 seconds. It's possible other things will pop up at this point.

The card I gave you is how I get new Persona. Each person has an Arcana, and when other people hold on them long enough, the card will change. That"ll mean I can summon a Persona with a corresponding Persona.

Minako and I are both Fools, for example. Yours is apparently the Hierophant.

Something just came to mind. Before I knew what was there--or about Minako, Daidara? The blacksmith? He said a few people were going by the alley where his store is--that same alley is where a door to the Velvet Room is. I'm thinking of asking him about the people's description, but maybe you could get some surveillance set up just in case."

Obviously not all at once, and you can write this better than me.

You know, I wonder if we could make our own Compendium.

Or...Halloween event? Get a small blue hat, blue outfit and yellow contact lenses.

>>27922143
>>27922034
We should also talk about Nanako's safety and try to work something out in us taking shifts "babysitting" her after-school. Both of us have important jobs, but whoever summoned JOKER saw us both. It's a small enough town he could find out who Ryotaro is, and then its a matter of just looking up his address. Or us, if he's a fellow classmate.

I think someone wrote a way of approaching it last thread. Let me find it:

>>27922653
Yes. With better dialogue that's less awkward and fits Yu's character

also why havent we bought Heavy sword rank 2 yet?
buy it

>>27922718
We cant yet. And we should get Fortune 2.5 first, considering the fact we've had several threads with 4 critfails.

>>27922789
Same guy here. I think we ought to go:

>Fortune 2.5
>Notice
>Athletics
>Heavy Blade 2
>Cleave
>Investigation
>Magic 2
>Elec Boost
>Cooking

Reducing critfails helps us with /all/ rolls. Notice is pretty big and can influence future events immensely. Athletics can keep us alive from things we can't parry, or help us run away. Cleave+Blades is obvious. Investigation...I"m not sure since it seems new. Magic+Elec Boost are both good. Cooking, well it'd be nice to boost but it obviously isn't *needed*. But if we get EXP to spare, I dont see why not.

>>27922950

>Not dumping all our XP into Cooking to live up to our official position as the Investigation Team's chef

We dont need to spend EXP on those. We can gain EXP by doing them. Which we have been on off-time and whenever it makes sense.

Cooking and Sewing are his hobbies. Jesus Christ. Does this mean Yu becomes the stay-at-home dad if he gets with any of the girls? I mean, there's sword practice but that's really it right now.

Other than a Heavy Sword related club, maybe he can join Home Economics. Or make a "Home Ec For Men" club, talking about the fine history of chefs and tailors to show it totally isnt girly

>Well...

"Not completely. It's looking like stuff is going to hell." You say, shaking your head and getting a sigh from Dojima. "But, it's not likely to happen immediately."

"That's something at least." He says, standing up. "I need to get some sleep, though. Today was exhausting, and I need to head in early tomorrow. We can talk more about things tomorrow after I get home, but give me a rundown."

You pause, considering how to continue this...

"Alright." You say finally. "Remember how the JOKER was supposed to be dead and gone? The thing I mentioned earlier is something that Miss Arisato dealt with before, called the Dark Hour. Time stops for almost everyone, but to the ones it doesn't, things go greenscale. It was supposed to be stopped a year and a bit ago."

...This gets a worried look from him, but he gestures for you to continue...

"And something that just sprang to mind. Before any of this happened, I felt something... Off in front of Daidara's store. Now I know it's a door to the Velvet Room, but before, he said that a few more people were looking at that same space." You pause. "I'm thinking of dropping by tomorrow and asking him, but would some surveillance be possible, just in case?"

He blinks wearily.

"I'll send Adachi by, too. See if he can find anything out." Dojima shrugs, heading towards his room. "Now, I really need to get to sleep."

... Best not push it.

Alone in the kitchen, it's well past midnight, and you have school in the morning...

>Go to bed?


>Also, routine for the week, please.

>>27923374
We've already moved two of our Social Links to different characters from canon, I don't see why we can't change who the Sun S-Link is by making a new cultural club. And that way we won't have to split our XP even further by having to take an Acting or Trumpet skill. Get a kendo club for the Strength S-Link and we'll be set.

I do feel kind of bad about the S-Links for Devil and Death being changed. The canon Links have been left without their emotional resolution. Sayoko will never get the confidence to make something of herself, and Hisano is going to have that self-loathing until she dies. Poor them.

After training or spending time with them, we sew and check the midnight channel.

Who do you think they are?

>>27923816
We gonna eat lunch on the roof more, then?

>>27923857
Probably.

JUST IN CASE. We record our cooking incase we critpass. Then we can try replicating it.

We should also make spare food for Teddie. And get Yu some books like he asked us to

>>27923803
No one, I suppose. I just assumed because the game never lets you S-Link multiple characters of the same Arcana. No Yumi and Ayane at the same time, for example. But hey, if we can link multiple people at once that's fine. It would do weird things to the rank progression, though. Would we have to level both links to the same point to get the Arcana to be raised a rank? Or would we add together the ranks of each to get the total S-Link? One seems like a hindrance, the other like too big an advantage. I suppose you could adjust the power of the resulting Personae up or down to compensate, though.

>>27923913
>I was honestly thinking tracked separately, with the lower ranked one having less of an effect.

>>27923816
Sounds nice. We should spend more time around Nanako, though. We can't neglect our family life. Nanako needs someone there to watch her, especially now that JOKER's summoner saw Dojima. And her being all alone by herself is too sad, anyway. Let's do our sewing in the living room instead of our bedroom, so she sees us there as a presence in her life. It won't ruin the surprise of the doll we're making, because it won't really be recognizable as such at first. And by the time she notices what it is, we'll have been working on it for long enough that the realization that our project all this time has been a present for her will be a nice treat for her.

>>27924083
That works.

Though, I was thinking that if we get Dojima to play along, we"ll have off-days. Nanako gets to spend days with Dojima or Yu, then.

...

or something like this

>>27925852
At school, look into clubs matching our interests. None of them will have started up yet, but knowing if there are kendo or cooking clubs available to join will be helpful. If none exist, look into starting our own club.

After school, spend some time with the Investigation Team. Not every day should be Midnight Channel time, we should establish a schedule for it. Every other day, I guess. Use the other days with them to just grow the friendship and strengthen the Social Link. Stuff like going jogging with Chie or hanging out with Yosuke, just standard shared friendly activities.

Take the opportunity to give all our friends with Personae blank cards, Kanji doesn't get one yet until he's awakened his own so we don't jam him up somehow. And duck into the TV World every so often when we have the chance to say hi to our Shadow friends. We'll have Teddie try when we experiment with cooking.

On days when we're just hanging out and not training in the TV, get home to Nanako early and spend time with her. We'll do our sewing in the living room so she can see us and talk to us if she wants to. We'll make dinner early so that when Dojima comes home (if he isn't working late that day), there will be food waiting for him. And Nanako can help us cook, it will be a nice bonding experience.

Hey, just an aside because I was checking our inventory: Do we still have that weird stone we found in the chest that attracted the Reaper? Shadow Yu said it seemed like a healing item, which given that we found it in a dungeon chest implies it's either a Bead or Life Stone. Did we leave that with him and Teddie, or do we have it with us just in case?

>>27927188
>You have it with you. I'll add it right now, since I forgot about it.

>Routine: Food, school, clubs. Wednesday, work. Alternate between training and forming BONDS. Hand out cards

The next week goes by relatively quickly... Each day, you wake up early, prepare food for Nanako, yourself, and your friends, then head to school. Eating lunch on the roof, you keep passing the same upperclassman on the way up, exchanging nods.

Tuesday, sports clubs open up for registration, and it seems that only a couple are actively seeking new members. Cultural clubs are

In the afternoons, you split your time between training in the TV world and spending time with your friends.

In the evenings, you relax at home, sewing until it's time to cook dinner. Dojima seems to be working late every day this week, for some reason.

...Wednesday comes around, and you show up at your new job in uniform, working alone since the other attendant scheduled for that day had to take time off due to an illness in the family. Pity you didn't get to meet your new coworker yet, but you did get the goodwill of the boss for putting up with working solo.

On Sunday, you get a message with shifts you can work....Any two weekday afternoons. You just need to let the boss know today when you want to work... Seems taking that shift last week is giving you options...
Monday rolls around again, and you find yourself at your school's gate a bit early again...

Hmm... I'd say time-skip to lunch to talk to the rest of the investigation team about what's going down with the "Dark 30secs" incident (unless we've been informing them of it for the past week).

Otherwise, go to class as normal. Oh yeah, is it time for the school trip announcement?

>>27927774
>>Cultural clubs aren't opening until the coming Monday, April 25th

So that would be today then? Well, I do believe we have our course of action. I think it's time to check the school Kendo Club (combat), Arts and Crafts Club (S-Link for Kanji and Nanako), or Cooking Club (Improved "Ambrosia").

I dunno if we can pull Yosuke, Chie, or Kanji into any of those, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

>Anyway, if this survives into the morning, feel free to use it to plot/theorize. I'll chime in some from my phone when I have a chance.

Yeah, but dumping them on something so shallow
As an option, if enough 1s accumulated, dump them all at once on all actions during some important event/battle, which could lead to ruining Yu's authority among party members or something along those lines

>>27928161
I think you misunderstand- us failing the food WOULD be mortal peril.

>>27934231

You mean when at least a fraction of them are WILD CARDS?

Guess.

>>27934289

He's been out late and leaving early,. No chance to do so.

>>27934311
Can we fuck Nanako?

>>27934311
I know you can't answer this. But clearly, Igor is leaving something out. That, or we're like a gimped Makoto.

He could do any Persona (though I guess not Reversed, which we may not be able to do). He also got cards (including Persona) any time he killed something. We need someone to hold on a card for a Persona to get attuned.

I noticed that Margaret /took/ the bonewhite card and then attuned Wands through the Compendium. Which suggests that so long as we have the Card, we can get a copy of any Persona we previously had. Again though, that seems like a downgrade.


Can we use the Wands or something, though? It's been sitting in our inventory.

Can we also go see Daidara? To sell the weapons for store credit and ask him stuff

>>27934381
No, but you, specifically you, can fuck __off[__.


>>27934403

Igor is leaving something out. Recall that Makato was, you know, empowered by Death.Gaining power from the end of things fits his thematics.

But you? You aren't empowered by Death.


Check the Persona section.


And yeah, Daidara is a valid person to visit. Want to do it on the Monday that will be happening?

>>27934455
>>27934462
Yes please.

We should also use the Wands some time.

I didnt know he was empowered by Death. So thats why he got the cards at the end of battle. But we dont. Did the P1/2 Persona users have to deal with bone-white cards, though? There's also the suggestion that Minako doesn't.

>>27934545
We can bring back the older, broken sword for scrap credit too.

Wands is ?????. I figure it'd just give us EXP. Strange.

We should also get Teddie to break down the Shadow-items and make cards or whatever out of them. The two False Shadow masks, buttons and headphones.

>>27934545
Well, he was playing host to it, at the least. Which is why he could use Fusion Spells alone.

Minako has access to a full Compendium (when Elizabeth is around, of course), while P1 users had Igor's Telephone of Bone and P2 users had tarot cards to deal with.

>>27934708
>Well, he was playing host to it, at the least. Which is why he could use Fusion Spells alone.

What is this a response to? I don't *think* I fully understood the rest of what you're saying, but Minako surely didnt need to rely on the bone white cards.

Are you implicating she had to wait on Makoto to find more Personae and put them in the Compendium?

I dont know jack about P1 & P2

>>27934741
The "He was playing host to it" was in response to >>27934545's
>I didnt know he was empowered by Death.


Minako was stuck with her original Persona until Elizabeth left the Velvet Room and started giving her extras. At that point, Makoto had nearly filled the compendium, so...

>>27934231
>Will the result of sleeping with every girl we meet be the same as in the game or will we be actually punished for being a massive dick?

Wha...we're just trying to keep everyone happy.
Why would we be punished ?.

>>27934311
>You mean when at least a fraction of them are WILD CARDS?
And therefore understanding of and sympathetic to our goals, since they have parallel goals themselves? I'm sure they'll scratch our back as long as we scratch theirs. IfyouknowwhatImean, wink wink.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY

>>27934793
What _was_ Minako's original Persona, and did it get a plot-upgrade like the other SEES members' did in canon?

>>27935210
Presumably it's the one she's holding on to but doesn't want to use. Which means it's probably plot-important and not something GoldenOP is just going to tell us.

>>27935210
>>27935272
It's something that I...


Actually have been giving thought to since I started the quest.

The two easy ways are obvious, but there's something far better/more amuseing that I want to use. I'll let you figure it out.

>>27935160
Seriously, please stop. Haremfag shitposts are infectious. It's stops being funny after the 50th thread you see it. Just look at half the users of Princess Guard Quest. Absolutely insufferable.
Spam about waifus/husbandos, them getting HIGHLY aggressive whenever people dont like their shitty ideas/suggestions, literally like 100 posts of non-discussion for every storypost by the QM.

>>27935679
Orpheus, Eurydice, Thanatos, Theodore.

Makoto. (Not the real Makoto, of course, but his reflection in the sea of her soul.)

Brynhildr. Persephone.

>>27936934
>Theodore.
What
>Makoto
So Messiah?

Didn't we pick up a new shortsword?

>>27935679

Mara.

>>27937065
>>27936934

He said "not the obvious ones" though.


....Wait a minute.... Maybe a Muse? Which one would fit Death and her apparent role, though....

>>27937440
Polyhymnia. The quiet and contemplative Muse of sacred poetry and song.

>>27935679
Wonder what'd happen if we roll a 20 on trying to cast a Reverse Fool Arcana.

OP when you gonna start?

>>27937860
Seeing as it looks like tomorrow is freer than I thought?


As soon as I get home, I'll toss up a new thread.

>>27934169
What if it turns out Chie really /is/ into that dominatrix stuff and is just insecure about it, like being a tomboy?

>>27937931
Then we end up with Chie, just it's a high S Link with a reversed arcana

>>27937440
>He said "not the obvious ones" though.
Yeah, but the problem is, he said there were _two_ obvious ones. There are slightly more than two options I consider "obvious".

I assume Orpheus- (from P3P canon) is one of them. I suspect Makoto is the other one.

(A trawl through Wikipedia suggests Hangaku Gozen as another possibility, although there's little resonance there beyond being a naginata-wielder.)

>>27937860
>Wonder what'd happen if we roll a 20 on trying to cast a Reverse Fool Arcana.
We fail harmlessly.

We should be worried about rolling a 1.

>>27938880
Yes. Yes you should be worried about a Nat 1 on using an Arcana that's incompatible with you.


The obvious ones are Orpheus and Eurydice, by the by.

>>27939019
Mhm. So far we only know Rev. Fool is incompatible. Can we "feel" it when it's incompatible? Like a gut feeling? Or is it something we'd have to guess?

Wait. So is Minako a Wildcard with a Onecard Persona, or was she always a Wildcard but stuck with one Persona until later?

>>27939155
Honestly? Something DID feel off, and now that you know what it is, you can figure out other incompatibilities easily.

>>27939169
The latter. She thought she was a Onecard until she started talking to Elizabeth.

>>27938880
(That should have read "Orpheus-F". Originally it was Orpheus-(Venus symbol), but apparently that's filtered.)

>>27939019
Ah, thanks.

>>27939252
We also gotta find out Shadow!Yu's new name.

I hope he keeps the surname

>>27939513


No problem.
Anyway, home. New thread will go up when I'm sure my internet is cooperating.
