>Routine

The next week goes by relatively quickly... Each day, you wake up early, prepare lunch 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.

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.

Tuesday, sports clubs open up for registration, and it seems that only a couple are actively seeking new members, namely basketball and soccer. Cultural clubs are accepting members on the coming Monday, so that's something to consider.

...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 in the coming weeks....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...

>What days did you choose to work this week?


Monday rolls around again, and you find yourself at your school's gate a bit early again...

What are the "Cultural Clubs"? Can we actually get a list of clubs? I know there was talk about a club for practicing swordsmanship, and another for home economics (to boost sewing and cooking).

Rolled 5, 17, 15, 6, 20 = 63

>>27940404
Tuesday and Wednesday. The sports clubs meet T/Th, so we don't want to lock ourselves out of those.

EXP, OP? Has Cooking & Sewing been updated?

>>27940518
We'd still have Monday for culture clubs and Saturday for sports clubs. So we wouldn't be completely locked out. But your point has merit. I change my vote from Tuesday/Thursday to Monday/Wednesday. We can spend Tuesdays at culture club and Thursday at sports, then take Friday and Saturday for S-Linking and Shadow punching.

>>27940590
Also, when you get down to it, we probably don't NEED a real job. Once we get the gas-station S.Link to 10, we can drop it: there's bound to be someone in town who needs a job and, unlike us, can't go fight Shadows for petty cash.

Monday/Wednesday should work, though. (I'd thought culture clubs met M/W/Th instead of M/T/Th.)

Low odds of finding a Sun link in the last two, though.

>>27940765
>Cooking, sewing

Damn. They're separate clubs, not part of a Home Economics club?

>>27940783
>Given that there's an individual "Sewing room", I presumed so.

>>27940765
>>27940783
Yeah cooking and sewing are grouped together as Home ec

>>27940798
Sucks. It means we can't join or make a Home Economics club then. It'd be redundant.

No Kendo?

Hmm.

Well, there's the two existing ones.

But if we made our own club? Something that covers fighting, maybe.

Maybe a LARP club. Or "General Martial Arts & Sparring" club. We could probably find a teacher or a local who knows *any* of it that'd be willing to sponsor it. I know some schools bring in part-timers/volunteers for specific clubs or programs. Just someone with some kind of background in it.

>>27940739
We can't do that. Shadows aren't dropping money in this quest. Instead they drop crafting materials Teddie can use. That's why we're looking for a job. Though we might be able to make some money selling his creations as jewelry. He's a pretty artistic little guy. We'll compensate him for his labor with delicious treats. Of course, once he gets a human form he can start selling them himself, and we'll no longer be needed. But hey, Teddie having his own source of income will be good, so I won't begrudge him it.

>>27940803
>Ah, then correction.


>Not actively recruiting but really couldn't stop you from joining cultural club: Home Economics


>>27940872

>Kendo club closed last year, when the people actually interested in it left.

>Starting your own is a possibility...

>>27940872
What would be really awesome would be if we could get Master Daidara to sponsor a club. Not sure if he'd go for it, but introducing the young folk to the beauty of traditional weapons craft should be right up his alley. I think he's have fun with it. And then we'd have a legitimate excuse for our collection of sharp metal objects, just in case someone asks why we've got a nagamaki under our coat.

>>27940901
Home Economics and starting a "General Martial Arts" club sound good?

If we need an adult, we can probably find someone, like a teacher or volunteer with a knowledge/background in any martial-arts related thing (Ex-Mil, Hobbyist, Daidara). Volunteers too, because small towns will know if that person is trustworthy.

>>27940930
Sniped. Yes. Daidara would be pretty good since he likely has a broad range of knowledge in martial arts.

>So, brute force your way into Home Ec, and try to form a Martial Arts club is your plan?

>If you're sure....

>>27941117
Im for basketball to be honest

>>27941117
Man, when you say it like that we sound like assholes. We're not going to brute force our way in, we're just going to politely approach the club and ask if we could join in their activities, we know they're not recruiting right now but we think this is a really interesting hobby and would like to participate.

>>27941117
Hold on. Please hold on votes because things must be clarified.

You're saying we have a low chance of Arcana from Home Ec, yes? But it's guaranteed with any of the other Culture or Sports clubs?

>>27941200
This.

>>27941117
Well, less brute-force, more charm and ambrosia?

If that fails, I suppose either Drama or Music will do...

>>27941249

>Yep. Significantly lower chance to find someone with an affinity for the Sun arcana in home ec.

>Guaranteed in the two recruiting Culture clubs.

>>27941344
We should probably go for the sure thing

>>27941249
Well, he said low chance of the Sun Arcana, specifi-- yeah, >>27941344.

Come to that, though, I'm not sure where we would go for Sun Arcana outside a performance club. (Under other cultural circumstances I'd suggest a street musician, but you're not likely to see one of those here.)

>>27941344
I know this is a bit powergamey, but you are warning us. So no Home Ec. We can still improve our Sewing/Cooking at home anyway. I didn't want to risk our PC ending up a Jack of All Trades, which is why I wanted Home Ec, but Drama. Drama can impart social skills, like lying anyway.

The other will be our new Martial Arts club.

>>27941409
This works. Besides, music probably takes a lot more investment of time unless we use something like a harmonica.

>So, Acting for culture, try to form martial arts for sports?


>Final work schedule?

>>27941527
Yes.

Wednesday/Thursday

>>27940386
>Dojima seems to be working late every day this week, for some reason.

I have to contest this if this is the reason why we can't have the big talk with Dojima. Can't we just stay up particularly late? Or go to bed and wake up early so we catch him?

>>27941527
Will we still get Kou and Daisuke for our sports club? They're already in a state of superposition between soccer and basketball, collapsing the waveform to kendo wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

>>27941527
Yes.

Chie and the gang can join in.

>>27941538
Ah, no, we want Thursday open; it's both a culture club day and a sports club day. Monday/Wednesday.

I can't remember, what was it that was so urgent? Was it just follow up on the Dark Half-Minute, or what? Speaking of that, is it still happening and causing Minako constant worry, or was it a unique event that's all the more frightening for its brevity? Either way, I figure Minako's going to be pretty spooked.

>>27942089
>>27942163
Well, maybe not quite with that phrasing. But yeah, let him know we really should talk.

Wait, what exactly did we need to talk with him about?

>>27942468
Other than the fact it probably isn't good for Nanako's mental health to stay home alone until one of us comes home, there's the fact that she'd be home alone.

Home alone after the JOKER summoner got a look at both of us. He can find our house by recognizing us if a schoolmate, or by looking up Dojima's address.

We'd acknowledge that we both have important duties or even time for ourselves but we should work something out to make sure she isn't vulnerable.

Perhaps we could take her to our clubs at the least. I can't imagine the school having a problem with it when we bring up the fact there's a serial killer running around. Besides, Nanako is pretty mature and well-behaved.

>Head to class

You trudge on into the school, heading to your classroom earlier than normal.

Taking a moment after you sit down, you send your uncle an email saying that you want to have a talk with him, preferably tonight...


Shaking your head, you take a look around.

Chie and Yukiko are talking with each other. Yosuke is sulking for some reason. The two girls who sit by the window are talking about the thing rumored to be seen slinking around the old coal mines...

...Wait, what?

"-heard that it's some sort of demon, called up from the underworld by the spirits of the miners who lost their lives there years ago." The ponytailed girl says, leaning back and whispering to her friend.

"Oh, please. You know it'll turn out to just be some streetpunks using it as a hiding place." The darker haired girl with a shorter hair cut sighs. "It explains all those break ins at stores over there."

...Her friend looks to be about to continue, but stops as Morooka walks in.

...You brace yourself for a ranting lecture...


>Pay attention to the class, including the rant?
>Don't.

>>27942921
Pay attention. Yu is a scholar and a gentleman

>>27942952

>>27942921
>Pay attention to the class, including the rant?
We must be strong. We faced down horrible shadow demons, an annoying teacher is nothing. Or so we will tell our self.

After the class check on Yosuke, though. Ask him what's wrong, he seems upset. I hope something bad didn't happen with Saki.

>>27942921
>rumors
...So, with the involvement of JOKER (and thus Nyarlyathotep), does this mean that rumors become reality and thus this rumor is worth investigating? Or is this just my paranoia?

>>27942921
>>Pay attention to the class, including the rant?

Is there even a benefit to not paying attention? You should make that clear. Unless neither choice is really important.

As >>27943501 said, something's eating up the picture I wanted to use.

It's here >>27913893

>Pay attention

'....Dear god, when is he going to stop complaining?' you think as you pay attention to this rant.

...

...The morning's lecture is awful. You feel like you've gained nothing in terms of knowledge as the bell rings and your teacher leaves the classroom.

Heading up to the roof with the lunch you prepared for your friends, you give a nod to the same upperclassman as usual on your way by him. Seems he's sorting some flash cards today.

Stepping out, it looks like you're the first one here. A short minute passes before Yosuke drags himself out the door, looking like he's in a slump.

"Hanamura, what's got you down?" You ask a she sits down on the roof near you.

"I don't wanna talk about it..."

...

>Give him some space- you can talk about it tomorrow
>Bug him. You've probably got a few minutes before everyone else gets here.

>>27943569
Bug, but not be insistent. Enough to show concern, because he may want to actually talk and need encouragement.

Something like:

"You sure? Talking about it can help. It's not good to keep things bottled up."

>>27943569
>Bug him. You've probably got a few minutes before everyone else gets here.
"Bottling feelings up is bad, you know."

>>27943569
"Should you anyway?"

(Which is to say, bug him a little, but don't really pressure him.)

>>27943569
Insist just once
"You sure man? Maybe talking helps you to fell better"

>Bug him

"You know... It's not good to keep things bottled up." You say, getting a sigh from Yosuke.

"Alright, alright. I got rejected again." He says, shaking his head. "Saki just completely blew off my offer of a date."

...Well then.

"Saki... Konishi, yes?" You say after a brief pause. "The daughter of the people who run the liquor store?"

This gets a nod.

"Yeah, she's working at Junes, and I've been trying to get her to go on a date with me for ages." Yosuke says with a sigh. "Yesterday, she told me that she doesn't see me like that..."

Looks like Yosuke's dealing with some broken-heart problems. Probably best to let him be for a bit

...The two of you sit in silence until everyone else shows up.


....You eat lunch in peace, and return to the second part of the school day.

...

Finally stepping out of the gates, you head to take Nanako home in a bit of a hurry, so you can make it to work on time.

...

Getting ready to leave the house to go to work, you notice you have about twenty minutes to spare...

Junes is too far away to make it there and back for sure, though...

>See if there's some way you could cheer up Yosuke

...Well, you think as you arrive at the shopping district and look around. There's that diner... Maybe you could get him to cheer up some by taking him there sometime. That Rainy Day special looks intriguing....

Your looking around is cut short by noticing the time. You rush over to work and get ready for a boring shift...

...Your coworker isn't here again. Evidently, the family member is still sick...

>Notice! 20!

...As you clock out to leave, you notice the manager's eyes seem a bit off. A little... Foggy, even.

This. We need to be smart about this. If he turns out to be in the know, he'd be willing to help us out. Especially since he already showed willingness to do something shady like selling weapons to minors in a place like Japan. Granted, it's rural Japan but still.

>Daidara, interview

You shake your head, and walk on over to the metalworks.

...Daidara seems to still be there, though closing down the forge at the moment.

"Uh... Hi." You say, knocking on the door and stepping in. "I don't suppose you remember who all looked at that spot outside of your shop?"

He gives you a look, then sighs.

"Alright, kid. I'll bite." He says, shaking his head. "Why'd that detective come and ask who else looked there, though?"

....Seems Adachi has already been here. But 'else'?

"I don't really know. Curiosity, I guess?" You shrug.

Daidara sighs again.

"Alright. It was you, that girl who works at the hobby store, the detective I mentioned, and some weird kid in a different school's uniform than yours." He says, looking at you. "Well, for that time... Over the last couple of days, the Tatsumi boy and that Amagi girl have been looking at it too."

...So, Yukiko knows, and Kanji can sense it. Huh.

"You know how you mentioned weird stuff happening when you were my age?" You ask, getting a nod from Daidara. "What was it, if you don't mind me asking?"


"Why?" He asks after a moment, looking at you appraisingly...

"I've noticed some strange things going on around town, and I'm trying to figure out just what it is I've been seeing." You reply, not missing a beat.

There's a pause.

"Kid, what basically happened was..." He starts, looking at you carefully. "Some gas from the coal mines was causing some people to hallucinate, which got worse with damn fog that cropped up. A few friends and I decided to see if there was anything going on around town, but we found nothing."

"'cept a loose cable, I mean."

He rubs his scar...

>>27952310

Oh, now that's a useful rumor-killer.

>>27952310
Can we do a very minor Rakuja? Like a cantrip effect.

>Would you believe me if I said there's weird things going on that's more than just some hallucinations?

If he doubts us, we can offer to demonstrate in a few ways. One, by touching a TV. Two, by going by the alley but mention that it may not be open, but if it is, we"ll disappear for a few minutes (we can ask igor a question or two). Thirdly, by using some magic tricks (Rakujaja or Elec)

>>27952310
Pull out Izanagi's card and show it to him: "So you've never seen anything like this before, then?"

Let's see if he's just covering or if he genuinely doesn't know about the weirdness. Provided he can see the card, that is. The way Dojima responded when we showed Minako our card implies that as spiritual constructs you can't see them unless you're in another dimension or have one for yourself. He responded to the actual Personas just fine though, so I might be wrong and he was just confused by the weird magic card we had.

>>27952454
If he cant see it, he'd just be weirded out. So, it'd be better to pull it out and let him think we made a weird gesture than talking crazy

Also GoldenOP, remember us questers are a spergy bunch and not fantastic with dialogue. Nor can we easily read the mood like IRL.

>>27952454

He reacted to JOKER, though. So is JOKER is visible to non-attuned people but Personae aren't? That's worrying.

>>27952582
Lets ask about the detective too. What he said. If he's suspicious, we can mention that our uncle is Ryotaro and that Adachi probably sent him since they work together.

>>27952770
I'm sorry, but what?

Ryotaro sent Adachi, not the other way around, man.

>>27952722
It would make sense if that was the case. A Persona is a manifestation of inner truth, so you should only be able to see it if you've faced your own truth or are in a dimension where the subconscious is manifested. JOKER, on the other hand, is derived from the potential for delusion and self-destruction in all human beings, so anyone can see him.

>>27952798
Yeah, my bad. I meant that

>>27952833
There's plenty of ways to fanwank an explanation that makes sense, bro

>Mention the rumor, see if he reacts to you summoning the card

"Man, that's not good." You say, shaking your head. "I heard a rumor that there was some sort of demon out by the old mines. Think that gas is out again?"

For a brief moment, Daidara's expression is one of surprise, but soon goes back to his normal stony one.

"I suppose a new well of it could have popped up," He says, shaking his head. "But that's not likely, since the area got pretty well cleared after that incident. Any pockets of it would have been disposed of."

"Probably just some punks messing around, using the old rumors to keep people from finding their hideout."

"Well, that's something." You say.

"So, kid." Daidara says after a minute. "How's that short sword treating you?"

... Ah, crap.

"I, uh.. Actually broke it by accident a couple of days ago." You say.


This gets a flat look from the metalsmith.

"Hey, it was an accident!" You give a 'what do I know' gesture, summoning Izanagi's card as you do so.

>Sense Motive 19! v Bluff 15!

The surprise in his eyes at seeing the card is evident, even though he seems to be trying to hide it.

>Write in

>>27953487
>"Hey, it was an accident!" You give a 'what do I know' gesture, summoning Izanagi's card as you do so
Hey, that's a nice way of doing it, kudos to you
Anyway, say that we noticed, and that he can spill the beans any time NOW

>>27953487
"Wait, you can see it?"

>>27953524
Why do you think it took so long to write that? Had to figure out a deniable way to summon, after all.

>>27953487
"Fine, you got me: It wasn't an accident. Turns out trying to parry wind blades shreds metal pretty well. You got any recommendations for handling that, or are we going to keep pretending neither of us know what the other is talking about?"

>>27953731
I don't think he'd know what we're talking about if we were to say that

>>27953755
Then why does he know how to forge weapons that boost elemental resistance?

>>27953797
Does he?
I'm just saying that sentence made no sense

>>27953731
Also, the sword broke because we threw the sword, and fake!Shadow!Yosuke caught and broke it with wind.

That said, the general spirit of "Let's cut right to the actual truth, rather than stick with lies that don't serve any purpose" is something I support.

>>27953487
"So, did your generation fight Demons instead of Shadows. or something?"

>>27953827
He does in Golden. Though, point taken. I guess it doesn't really make much sense. I was just trying to find a way to say 'I have encountered the supernatural, clearly you have as well" in a slightly cheeky way.

GoldenOP, lets go somewhere like inside his shop when we cut to the chase. We dont want people listening in (like Adachi,who saw the damn Velvet Room)

>>27954025
>You are in the shop, actually.

>So, what's your plan?

>>27954072
Did we bring the weapons in a bag or something? Because we can show him them.

>>27954173
>Cut to the chase in a diplomatic fashion, tell him we know he saw it.
>Ask if Demons is just a word his generation called Shadows
>Ask why he can see it?

>>27954236

>>27954312
OP dead?

>>27955174
Distracted by food, this time.

GoldenOP, do you ever go on IRC?

>>27955624
Nope.


Also, food took longer than expected.

>>27955933
...So, this question wasn't answered last thread, so I"ll ask it again:

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

>>27955984
...Then she's into that stuff?

>>27955984
Then we hook her up with Yosuke, who apparently is into that. They're pretty easy to ship together, what with the tension they have. It might just work out between them. Let's try it.

>I see you know supernatural stuff. I, too, know some supernatural stuff.

You look Daidara in the eyes.

"So, what did your generation fight?" You ask, letting the card vanish. "Demons, or something?"

He sighs.

"Kid, look. That was a weird year, and nobody quite remembers what happened." He says, sighing. "All I know is, weird stuff happened, I got this scar, and I've been able to see some odd things since."

"Now, how did you really break the sword? Because I know my steel, and it wouldn't get broken by accident."

...What is there to lose, eh?

"...Alright." You say, shaking your head. "I was fighting a creature that could make blades of wind. Sheared right through it. Got any recommendations to deal with that?"

He turns around, looking at his forge, then at the weapons nearby.

"Maybe." He says after a minute."That'd be an interesting challenge, actually."

"Tell you what." Daidara continues, turning back around to face you. "You're meddling with supernatural stuff, aren't you?"

You nod.

"If you find any odd materials, bring 'em to me, and I'll see if I can make something out of them."

>Write in

>>27956152
>What did Adachi say? My Uncle,Dojima, brought him here to question you, but neither of us knew he's potentially involved with this. So I don't know if he's one of the culprits, just unaware or part of a third party.
>Sure. I got some weapons too, actually. Can I give them to you for store credit?
>...One more thing. I'm looking to start a Martial Arts club as a way to safely train with some of the others. Would you be willing to sponsor for it?
>Do you know what school uniform it was? Because someone who tried attacking me was the same guy who tried killing Satonaka & Hanamura, and while Dojima couldnt get a good look, he suspects it was a highschool student.

Thats the general gist of what I'd want out.

>>27956342
Save the questions about store credit and the club sponsorship for later. We've kind of imposed on him by confronting him like this. We don't want to press our luck. For now we should just ask about Adachi and the student. Also, I don't think he knows someone tried to kill Yosuke and Chie, so let's mention that before we comment on JOKER's summoner.

>>27956492
But...clubs. You know how schools can be. They leave it open for like one week and thats it.

>>27956147
>Taking my waifu
No

>>27956520
Fine, we'll reveal that Yu has a secret masochistic streak and start a relationship. Happy?

>So, ask about Adachi, then the teenager?

>>27956580
Sure!

In all seriousness I hope we avoid waifufag-wars.

(I'd prefer Chie or Minako, if only because we already flirted with those too. And I like them. I havent seen much out of Yukiko to make her appealing.)

>>27956635
I don't want a waifu fight, as long as we can all agree that Yukiko and Chie are together best girl

>>27956635
Eh
My vote goes for either Yukiko (pretty much Heroine of this) or Ai (favorite girl in the game)
But I'm fine with everyone, as long as it's not fucking Marie

>>27956492
Not "store credit" necessarily, but ask him if he's interested in them.

>>27957176
Right, yeah. Instead ask him if he knows any reputable dojos in the area. (Worst case, we ditch the sports clubs and go join a dojo; there's a good chance that'll work for a Strength link. (Not sure about Moon, though.))

>>27957225
Wasnt the idea that we'd cover what we need for free, though? Chie with unarmed, kanji with hammer+shield etc.

>>27957176
May as well not say it. We can go to the office at school tomorrow and see if we can get someone from outside of school sponsor it/volunteer. We may find an interested teacher anyway.

>>27957176
Not just yet, then.

I say we wait a bit before springing the club idea. The Situation and circumstances are not yet right.

>>27957083
hnnnnng. Shadow Chie looks so sexy like that.

>Detective, Student, Dojos

"Sure." You reply. "Not a problem."

"Uh, what did the detective say? I'm pretty sure he's my uncle's assistant, but..." You start after a second. "Well, neither of us knew he's potentially involved in the mess going on around town."

Daidara scratches his chin, seemingly trying to remember something...

"He came in and asked if anyone had been looking at that spot outside the door, actually." He says, shrugging now. "I told him about you and the other two, and he left."

...Not much to go on.

"Alright, what about the student? What did he look like?" You ask.

"A bit shorter than you. Messy black hair. Black uniform, green tie. Can't remember anything else very clearly, though." Daidara pauses for a second. "Oh, and he looked like he was talking to himself when he was looking at that spot."

....Okaayyyy....

"Well, thanks for the information," You say, getting a curt nod from Daidara. "I should be heading home around now."

"Not a problem. Just remember to bring me interesting materials, and we're square for that."

As you reach the door, you remember something.

"Oh, and, uh... Do you know any people who teach martial arts around here?" You ask, turning around.

A shake of Daidara's head shows that he doesn't.

"Oh well. Worth checking."

You shrug and leave the metalworks.

...

...Finally arriving home, you find Nanako and Dojima sitting at the table, dinner waiting.

"Ah, good, you made it." Dojima says, hearing you walk in. "I had been worried."

...The three of you eat dinner in relative quiet.

>Talk to Nanako

We'll enlist her help in holding the fabric while we sew it. That way SHE gets the cloth sewn to her fingers, and not us. Hahahaha. Seriously though, it will be fun, Nanako.

And then we tell Uncle Dojima about what Daidara told us about the kid and about Adachi maybe having the same mystic awareness we do. Might be nothing, he could just not be saying anything because he doesn't want his boss to think he's crazy, but it's worth knowing.

Oh, and apologize for being late. We don't mean to worry our uncle. Reassure him that we weren't doing anything potentially dangerous, we'll always prepare and give him warning ahead of time when we do that.

Delicious Hamuko

>>27958225
>Adachi
Actually, Dojima sent Adachi to look at that spot (after we mentioned putting some surveillance on that spot). Therefore, I think that we should ask Dojima what Adachi reported to him, and then mention what we found.

>>27958092
I am:
>>27958224
I think we should talk about Adachi and the student. Adachi, we can say there's several possibilities:
1. He's latent and a potential Wild Card. He is completely unaware of all of this though.
2. He's a good guy, but has been acting alone. Not likely or Igor would have told us.
3. He's a baddie.
4. He's part of a third party, and may be a baddie.

Mention that Adachi now knows Tatsumi, Amagi, Minako and himself. Frequented there.

We should also ask about the card. If he wants info, we can explain the Card-Arcana thing.

Oh, and most importantly. Talk about the issue with Nanako being home alone, and how we may have to split days keeping her company. Since the student certainly could find out where we live, and then they can kidnap her or worse.

>>27958343
The implication I got is that this was before that.

>>"Alright. It was you, that girl who works at the hobby store, the detective I mentioned, and some weird kid in a different school's uniform than yours." He says, looking at you. "Well, for that time... Over the last couple of days, the Tatsumi boy and that Amagi girl have been looking at it too."

Right. However, I think that directly concluding (even with hedging) that Adachi is able to perceive the Velvet Room is too hasty. Indubitably, it is a possibility, but I think we should pursue all the information that we can get before we come to a conclusion (even one that is hedged in 'maybe').

Just asking Dojima what Adachi reported to him about the spot, and then mentioning that Daidara said that Adachi went over and questioned him about that spot would achieve a similar goal -- if Dojima didn't order Adachi to investigate yet, then we would be aware that Adachi could have some mystical awareness; if Dojima did order Adachi to investigate, and Adachi hasn't reported back to him yet, then Dojima would probably remember to bug Adachi about it, and any information from there would eventually go back to us. (If Dojima already ordered Adachi, who then said that there wasn't much to report back, then we would be aware of more possibilities, like that Adachi doesn't have any mystical awareness or that Daidara didn't tell Adachi anything etc.. You get the idea, right?)

Possibly not the time for it, after the serious topics beforehand (or after), but then again...

Ask about what Nanako's favorite animal. While Nanako will probably like anything that Yu gives her, I think that Yu (as a character) would prefer to maximize the enjoyment Nannoko gets from his gift.

>>27962941
OP, I got an idea that can be horrible, hilarious or both.

Triple Date to help prepare Yosuke for the dating scene.
....
The girls are Yukiko, Chie and Minako.

We can even be to him like: "Dude, your Persona is a Superhero Frog. Frog Prince waiting for his Princess? Saki? Don't wait for the Princess that will never come. Be a superhero and get a girl with your heroic charm."

During the date, other than awkwardness we can try to go deep into symbolism about what we think our personae/shadows & Arcana mean, 90% of it being bullshit.

"Amagi is a fiery phoenix who won't let herself be restrained by society's norms. She's a phoenix and a free spirit."

"Kanji's Persona will probably be a skeleton-themed motorcycle that he rides on top and drive-bys shadows with his hammer"

etc

>>27962941
What would've happened if we chose the Table?
Or
"The Table, and everything on it"?
Or
"You, I choose you" (Igor)

>>27963122
>>27962941
Or hell. What if we went "I am none of these. I'm not some shallow, broadly defined thing that can be summed up in something like a card. I'm human, there's much more depth to me than something like that."

>>27963156

If you said that he woulda laughed.

>>27963156
....isn't that the deck?

I mean, we're a wild card, and if a persona is a part of who you are, then we're obviously too complex for any one persona.

>>27963248

Er not quite, even wild cards have a affiniy for one arcana, they can just use them all (The MC of 2 was a wild card but he was a Sun), we don;t seem to have any one we link to the most since we are fucking everything.

>>27963036
So... My kind of idea, huh?

>>27963122
>The fun would have been WORSE.

>And the table was right out.

>>27963156
>So, basically, the Deck?


>>27963328
Yep. Each Wild Card has an affinity.

Old-style WC, like P1/P2's characters who could use any Persona in their arcana.

Personally, I feel that Fools have access to all Arcana, while those like the mentioned Sun have a more limited selection.

>>27964269

Talk to Dojima?

>>27964376

...Alright.

Adachi investigating, then the student?

>>27964417

Looks that way.

>Talk to Dojima about Adachi and the student...

Putting away your project, you walk over to the kitchen table where Dojima is sitting.

"So, dropped by Daidara's this evening." You say, getting a raised eyebrow from him. "Asked about the people he saw looking around in front of the shop."

"Ah, that's right." Dojima says, seemingly remembering. "Adachi gave me a report about that a couple of days ago... Something about a few teenagers, and that's it..."

"He didn't mention being there, as well as a description of the other high-school student, huh?"

That gets a reaction out of Dojima.

"Oh, did he?" He asks, looking at you carefully. "Wonder why he'd leave that off..."

You shrug.

"Well, it seems like there's a student, a bit shorter than me, who was talking to himself outside of the store, looking at a spot that's got spiritual significance." You continue, recalling the earlier conversation. "Black uniform with a green tie. Messy black hair."

...He seems to be thinking about that...

"Hm... Think that..." He asks, before shaking his head. "No, probably not..."

"So, Daidara saw Adachi looking around there, too?"

You nod.

"I'd say he probably doesn't want to be seen as 'crazy' for sensing a door no one else can." You say, shrugging. "I mean, I know I felt like I'd get that reputation without something to back me up..."

Dojima seems to consider it...

"Well, I suppose you're right. Now, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

>Write in

>>27965263
Can we assume the student to be Mitsuo? I mean, we saw him in his uniform, more than once, even, he matches the description, that doesn't mean anything, but minimum puts him on the suspect list

>>27965263

I think there was the talking about Nanako being home alone?

I'm not too sure. I wasn't the one who suggested it.

>>27965263
ask Doujima if he know where the uniform is from

>>27965263
Mention that /just in case/ we should be careful about Adachi.

Talk about Nanako being home alone, and why that's a bad idea, particularly for safety reasons. See if we can maybe split up days where we 'babysit' her.

Oh, we may as well ask about the card.

>>27963489
We should totally do the triple date. I think that'd be a really great scene.

>>27963036
>The girls are Yukiko, Chie and Minako.
But that's five people. Assuming Yu goes with Minako, who is Yosuke going to go with? I don't think he'd be into Kanji, nor would it help much. Are you suggesting Yu should?

>>27968401
It can be, for example:
Yu-Chie
Yosuke-Yukiko
Kanji-Minako

I meant to include Kanji when I said triple date.

>>27968511

Kanji goes with naoto.

You should know this by now.

>>27968511
Don't be ridiculous.

>>27968548
We don't have Naoto, and it's just to help with Yosuke. He"ll just have to bear with talking to a girl.

I'm partial to Chie, but a tomboy with a closet tomgirl may be a better combo.

>>27968606

Pairing him with Chie would be better I think?

>>27968657
Hahahaha. That is like the worst pairing ever. Chie would scare the poor boy to death.

>>27968737
Minako or Yukiko with Kanji, then? It's only a date to help Yosuke build up confidence anyway.

>>27968803

And Yukiko also won't know how to behave on a date. Shes abit odd that way.

>>27968803
Can't wait for the spaghetti when Saki runs into him and Minako on the mock-date.

>>27968846
So...
Yu-Chie
Yosuke-Minako
Kanji-Yukiko
?
If Minako is better for a date, then it should go to Yosuke.

>>27968872

Likely. Despite my inner wish for Minako with Yu shes actually good on this mock date since her behaviour will be closest to a normal girl.

>>27968872
That's pushing us toward The Chie Route, which is not something I'm fond of.

Of course, the whole triple-date thing is ridiculous on the face of it. Why are we even still discussing this?

>>27968977
It is ridiculous, but it could be fun.

>>27969066

Hamuko's teasing will make everything perfect

>>27969144

Speaking of which, she needs to try Yu's cooking too.

>Gah, sorry. Fell asleep in my chair again.

>Looks like the Nanako talk, then suspicions

>k.

>>27970046
Dont forget Adachi suspicions. OOC and IC, he can be literally anything. But the fact is, he was there and conveniently left out that bit, which is even more slightly suspicious.

>>27970185

It occurs to me though, that in order to deal with meta-knowledge, Adachi and Mitsuo might not be antagonists in this story. Hell, they might even be potential allies!

I know. I'm not trying to be metagamey. The fact is that we don't /know/ anyway because TRM. So it's good to be on-guard. Be a bit suspicious. Don't metagame and assume the worst (because it can be wrong anyway), don't anti-metagame and be oblivious.

>>27971728
Suspected, yes.

>Nanako, then suspicions

"Nanako, actually." You reply without missing a beat. "It's not good for her to be home alone so much."

Dojima sighs.

"I know, I know. But I have work, and you have your own things to be doing..."He says, shaking his head. "I don't see how-"

"What's really got me worried, though, is that there's a wanna-be murderer who's seen both our faces." You continue, cutting Dojima off. "And you're probably just a search away from having an address."

...He gets a pained expression as he thinks about this...

"I was thinking we could alternate, but..." You shrug. "It's up to you, since it is your daughter."

...There's an awkward pause for a few minutes.

"I'll... Figure something out." He says finally, shaking his head. "Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?"
...You pause for a moment.

...Pushing the issue seems like it'd be a bad idea, so...


"Yeah. I remember actually meeting someone who matches the description of the student." You say, getting an expression of surprise from Dojima. "Didn't get his name, but he was harassing Yukiko Amagi on the way out of school two days in a row, when I first got here. Haven't seen him since."

"...I don't suppose you tried to stop him, did you?" He asks after a moment of thought, rubbing his chin.

"...The second day, when Satonaka and Hanamura were missing, I did. They stopped him the first day." You say, a piece clicking into place. He could be deranged enough to...

"...We might have found our culprit." Dojima says after another moment. "I'll see what high schools have that sort of uniform around here, and see if anyone matching that description is attending them."

...That's good. But you can't shake a feeling something else might be up...

"A quick question about Adachi, though." You say. "After thinking about it, it's kind of suspicious he completely left himself off the report. Are we sure he's not up to something?"

Dojima shakes his head.

"Like you said, he probably thought he'd come off as crazy if he included himself." He says. "Besides, he's been working with me since he transferred. I'd know if he was up to something."

>>27972113
Would you now?
Just keep him in mind, for me

>>27972113
"Best to be careful, just in case. I'm not saying you should stop trusting him. But everything is going to hell and you know how neighbors always say they never suspected that guy would be a serial killer on the news. You probably are right, but, it's just best to be careful."

Something like that. Make it clear we don't /think/ he is a bad guy, since we have nothing to really go off of but a hunch he /might/ be suspicious.

>>27972113
"Well, okay. But if there's one thing I learned since I came here, it's that people aren't always what they seem to be. Even to themselves. I would've never guess what my friends were into until I went inside their dungeon and talked to their Shadow."

That's actually pretty fucking bad, don't use this. I hope you get the general idea of what I'm going for, though.

> If you're sure...

"Well, it's your call. I found out some stuff about my friends I wouldn't have expected until I saw and spoke to their own Shadows..." You shrug. "I mean, you know how neighbors always say they never suspected that quiet guy would be a serial killer on the news..."

Dojima looks to be thinking about that...

"You're probably right, though, but it still doesn't hurt to be careful." You shrug, getting a nod from him. "Anyway, I think that was about all I wanted to talk to you about, so..."

"Alright. I'll ask him about it in the morning." He says, standing up. "I should be getting to sleep. Got an early morning again. Good night, Yu."

You give him a short wave goodnight, then look at the clock.

...Almost midnight.

>Bed?
>Midnight channel?
>Other

>>27972968
Midnight channel, of course.

>>27972968
>Midnight channel
If it's more than a couple of minutes, crack open a book (textbook or otherwise) until midnight. Then hit the sack.

>>27972968
Midnight Channel.

>Midnight channel

Heading to your room, you grab a textbook and take a seat, reading through it until the clock strikes midnight.

The TV flickers on, showing a sta-

That's the same place that you saw the first night. It's empty, but it's the same road.

...Something is going on there, you realize, as you see- yes, that's water, not blood- running down the side of that road, shards of a white mask being pulled along in it.

The screen goes blank as someone's leg enters the picture.

Jeans and brown shoes are all you could make out before it clicked off... But it looks like whoever it was is male.


...Your phone's ringing.

It's Yosuke again.

>Write in

>>27973363
Too bad we cannot go CSI on the shoeprint.

Pick up the phone

>>27973363
>It's Yosuke again.
Pick it up. It looks like we will have to investigate the other world tomorrow

>>27973363
>I realize I should specify that they were walking into the frame.

>Annndd something just came up. Consider this thread over.

>Next thread is gonna be at least Wednesday, maybe later if work is heavy this week.

>Feel free to use the rest of this one's life to talk, though.

>>27973363
>shards of a white mask being pulled along in it
Well, shit. Hope Shadow!Yu's okay.

([x] Answer the phone, of course.)

>>27940404
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.

Who is this upper classman? I want to know more about him. I suspect shenanigans.

>>27974854
Betcha he's Funky. And a rumor guy.

>>27974854
He's the funky riddle master. You can challenge him to a contest of obtuse word puzzles and get prizes in return. Most of them aren't worth the effort, but riddling with him doesn't take up a time unit, so you might as well.

So...
anyone know who the fellow in the jeans could be?

Also, loving this Quest - Chie's always been my favorite, so what's been done with her in this Quest appeals to me

>>27977951
What did he do that appealed to you?

>>27978057
Dominatrix, mostly.

>>27978416
Pretty sure that was already implied in her canon Shadow. Abusive control, after all..

>>27979469
Yep.

>>27978416
I agree. It's why I want to go with Chie

>>27977951
>>27978416
>>27979469
>>27979588
I'm a fan of Yukiko for more or less the opposite reason. as in I'm not a fan of dominatrixes.

Chances of harem end, to satisfy everyone...?

>>27979691
...We'd need to get at least one more on board to be a harem, not a threesome.

Minako, then?

>>27979691
QMs hate them, and it's pretty passe to go for harems like every other quest. But maybe she's a bit of a switch.

>>27979691
>>satisfy everyone
But it's never that in practice. It's yourself and everyone else is bitter. It's not like Yu is Mormon or Muslim, anyway.

>>27979715
Oh, maybe.

>>27979743
I-I won't want to cause any infighting like the bleach quest clusterfuck. I just want everyone to have something they can be happy about.

>>27979807
It's not like open relationships or multiamory are things- oh....wait....

>>27979880
Not many people do it though. At best people are indifferent towards it

Just a thought, but what would happen if we tried to go through the TV while the Midnight Channel was playing? Could we use that to jump the Shadow?

Also, what about just sticking our head into TVs to get an idea of where they go, see if we can't find another one with a return route.

Finally, what about scrounging together enough money to buy a small TV that we can bring INTO the TV World as a portable exit.

>>27980661
GoldenOP made it very clear it'd be a BAD idea to do that

>>27980661
>>27980755
Heheheh...


Hahahah....
AHHAHAHAHAHA!


Oh, you kill me.


Bad shit, for the first.

Possible, for the second.

Wouldn't work for the third.

Eh, either way I think we can all agree this shouldnt mutate into yet another waifu quest? This quest is pretty damn good on its own. I only suggested the triple date as a way to cheer Yosuke up and get some funny moments.

>>27980930
Terrible idea but possibly funny as an omake: Don't GO into the TV when the Midnight Channel is playing, just keep throwing rocks through it (by releasing as our fingers touch the screen) and pegging the Shadow in the head.

So, let's take a small TV and a big TV, put one foot into the big TV, one hand into the small TV, and then use the remaining hand to push the one into the other because (insert tired old joke here)

>>27981531
I don't know, going super-meta on P4's ass could be pretty hilarious

>>27981575
"waifu quest", not "Waifu Quest".

>>27980661
So what does happen if we touch a TV while we're in the TV world?

>>27981532
Depending on the answer to the previous question, that second bit sounds like it could be a good way to lose a hand.
