...Dojima is home early, you think as you turn around and see him walk in, jacket over his shoulder.

"Oh, you made dinner early." He says, catching sight of the table. "Ah, and you invited Miss Arisato over, too?"

...You have a feeling from his look, he's half-surprised, half not.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I'm intruding," Minako says sheepishly. "I came over to talk with your nephew and his friends earlier, and he asked if I'd be willing to stick around when he started making dinner."

"Oh, it's not a problem." Dojima shakes his head with a sigh. "I bet Nanako wanted you to stick around, too. I know how both of them can be when they want someone to do something."

"Anyway, since you three look like you're done eating, I'll just warm some of this up in a couple of minutes." He shrugs.

...Minako seems somewhat relieved.

"I suppose you were talking about..." Dojima starts again, looking at the two of you meaningfully... Nanako seems confused.

"Yeah, that friend of mine, who's been out of school for a couple of weeks. Miss Arisato did some digging, and found out that he's been sick since then." You say, getting a nod from Minako. "Shame about that. He was such a joker, too."

...Dojima seems to get your meaning.

"Ah, alright." He says. "Well, it doesn't look like you wrecked the place by having your friends over... Just let me know before you do that again."

...After a few awkward minutes, you've got the leftovers of the dinner not claimed by Dojima packed up, and Minako seems to be about to head out for real now...

Nanako is watching TV happily, and Dojima is at the kitchen table, eating while reading a newspaper...

She gives you a blank look, until you tap your nose and move your finger outwards.

"Oh, yes. Thank you for the offer." She says, smiling as she seems to get the meaning.

You nod, taking a few steps back and catching Dojima's attention.

"Uncle Ryo, I'm gonna walk Miss Arisato home." You say. "Is that alright with you?"

>>28156376

>>28156376

Well he brought them with him to school and about even after finding them. The showing of the masks to others was a on the spot thing so its not like he purposely choose to bring them with him on those particular days.

I wonder if we can cancel nat 20s to store them for later use

>>28156449
Probably that would be a higher rank of the Devil perk. Something to look forward to, I suppose. It would be useful seeing how we seem to always get 20s when cooking. If we could store those for later we'd be unstoppable.

If only this quest wasn't right around mn my side of the globe.

I'm out folks, have fun and protect the Minako.

>Time to go.

...It really isn't a good idea to take weapons around with you. Too obvious.

Walking to the door, you take a second to get ready to leave, and nod to Minako.

...The two of you step out and start on your walk.

"So, you wanted an excuse to go to the Velvet Room?" Minako asks after a few minutes of quiet walking.

"Yeah, I figured it'd be easy enough to head there either on the way to your place, or on the way back." You nod. "May as well see if we can get some information tonight."

"Well, the shopping district's on the way to my apartment, anyway."She sighs. "May as well stop by."

....

After a short while, the two of you arrive at the shopping district.

...Seems quiet.

The only people you notice other than yourselves are a couple of salarymen, evidently somewhat drunk, and a teenage girl a fair bit further down the road, talking on a cellphone.

...The door to the Velvet Room is sitting there, glowing slightly.

She nods, reaching out and grabbing the handle, turning it and-

There's a brief silence.

"So, I guess I really do need to get a key, huh?" Minako sighs and steps back. "Go on. I'll wait out here for you."

...Memories flicker into your head again... Shouldn't contractors be able to...

"No." You shake your head. "I think I can probably let you in with me, actually."

This gets a surprised look from her.

"Those memories popped up again." You say, shaking your head. "I think I can let you in with me, though."

"Well, let's go then." She seems doubtful, but...

You place a hand on Minako's shoulder, then pull open the door.

Oh, we should ask him about the Cups card. Minako about the Death card, if the Arcana popped up. Then maybe we can do that fusion thing with Minako under his supervision?

We could also ask about the supernatural in general. Like what happened in the past.

We don't know how easy it is to summon JOKER. If it's Persona-like speed, then it would be dangerous. If we can just get the drop on him on his own we'll be fine.

>OOC & IC it came up time and time again.
>Daidara = Turn any Shadow shit into special armor or weapons
>Teddie = Blank cards or items
We don't actually know that. The masks aren't exactly normal Shadow drops. It might work, it might not.

>We don't really know this. I never got this impression.
We know about the stuff Makoto fought. We had some basic knowledge of JOKER even before we investigated him more. Yu's got something passing him notes. Might not be directly related to the previous Wild Cards, but we know about the things they had to face.

>>28159015

Yeah, that's what I meant. Blame me being somewhat dumb.

Though, contractor is -technically- correct, since the contract in question (agreement to stop the JOKER thing) has you in charge of doing something, and you're deciding your own hours,

>>28159066
Wands it was.

>>28159109
We should also ask about why there's the Tarot card connection. Tarot being meaningful is a relatively recent concept in occultism. Which way did the influence flow? Did awareness of the supernatural lead to Tarot getting higher priority, or did the focus on Tarot imprint on the paranormal and change it? Like, were 15h century Shadows based on something else?

Nope. We do. OP has told us OOC and IC that's how it works with the drops. Seriously. Teddie had already shown he can make cards and possibly other "Stuff.". Daidara said he can make crazy shit from the material.

>>What's the difference between my Deck and a Wild Card?

Just expanding on this, but Igor never really went into much detail on Decks and they didn't sound different from an ordinary Wild Card (multiple Personae they can use or fuse). So we should press about this again.

"Alright." You say, stepping towards the table.

"First things first. Do demons and spirits exist?" You ask, looking Igor in the eye.

He seems to be in thought for a moment, before nodding.

"Oh, yes, indeed they do." He says finally, unclasping his hands. "Though the term is extendable to almost all entities of a supernatural origin, not merely monsters."

"The demons encountered in the realm of man are merely manifestations of an aspect of the collective unconsciousness. These take their forms and shapes from mankind's minds and beliefs." He continues. "However, in another realm, parallel to that in which you live, there exist powerful entities, many of which once roamed the realm of man in the past, inspiring legends and myths."

"Those beings are the 'true' demons, being the sources behind many of the beliefs that the 'normal' demons take their forms from."

"Now, might I ask why you were inquiring as to the existence of such things?" He asks, resuming his classic posture. "I should hope you have not encountered such a thing."

...

"There are some rumors floating around." You say after a moment. "Talking about demons in the coal mines, or in the woods."

....Igor's expression seems to flicker through a mixture of emotions that you can't quite place for a second, before resolving to his normal one.

"Ahhh... Yes, I can see why that would inspire such a question." He says, nodding. "Pay no heed to them unless suspicious happenings begin to occur around them is the advice I will give you. Demons appearing in the realm of man are rare, far more so than Persona users appearing spontaneously."

...That's answered.

"Alright. About a week ago..." You pause, looking over to Minako, who nods and moves closer.

"A week ago, the Dark Hour came back for about half a minute." She says, watching Igor's expression.

>>28165023

"Since your second to last guest stopped it, I thought you might know something about it."

...Igor sighs, and shakes his head.

"The Seal remains in place, if that is what you are worried about." He says, looking at her. "Do recall that the Dark Hour was brought about through the works of men. Perhaps it is one of the remnants of the original project that brought this about. Regardless, I know nothing of it."

...Minako seems to go quiet at that, now in thought...

"Do you know if these can be destroyed?" You ask, pulling out the two masks claimed from those False Shadows and breaking the silence. "

Igor looks at the masks appraisingly...

"None that are particularly safe as of this moment." He says, shaking his head.

...Fun.

"Then the JOKER." You say, putting away the masks. "How was it dealt with originally?"

Igor is silent for a moment.

"Its... origin was dealt with, though not its creator." He says. "Then all possible revival vectors were rendered inert."

"Alas, I feel that such an approach may not work here, at least for the moment." He sighs. "As its creator is still taking an interest in events, and thus can recreate it as much as it wishes."

...You have a feeling he won't be helpful for more information regarding the creator of the JOKER...

"Alright. What did that card Margaret gave me last time I was here do? The three of Wands?" You shake your head.

...Margaret coughs.

"That card should provide you with a new Persona." She says, resting her arms on the book in her lap. "One of the Wands suit."

"Unfortunately, I do not know what sort of Persona it will transform into, or how powerful it will be." She shakes her head. "The only people to make use of such Persona were years 'before my time', as some would say."

You shake your head at that. Less information than you would prefer again.


"What's a Social Link, then?" You ask, catching Minako's attention. "I've had this feeling that I've...Gotten an understanding, I guess, of several people, and according to Miss Arisato, I seem to go somewhat vacant when it happens."

Igor's smile widens.

"Social Links are the power of bonds." He says, folding his hands again. "A method of strengthening your own heart, and thus the power of your Persona. Or, rather, -your- Personas."

"As you interact with others and have relationships form, your Social Links will develop." He continues. "That you have developed several so soon is a wonderful omen."

That's something answered, at least.

If you're only getting close to them just for the power boost, it probably won't work. S-links, if I recall, require a sincere and reciprocal relationship. Go out, help people, talk to someone you maybe wouldn't normally, and don't be a shut-in, and S-links (and their benefits) will be a pleasant bonus.

Ah.

...So the question is directed at Igor regarding fusing YOUR OWN Personas, while also asking her about the card. Right?

>>28169192
An ass to?

And, fusing our own personas too. But we did previously ask about two WCs fusing their Personas in the past, and he wasn't sure. Not that we actually do it right now. We're speaking in hypotheticals, since we have exactly two Personas we can use. She has two, but only one she's willing to use. So asking HER to Fuse right now is moot.

>>28169247
Er, asking right now or doing that right now.

Alright, then.


Looks like there was a misunderstanding on my part.

>>28169365
I'm kind of confused. You thought we were asking her to fuse one of our Personae with hers at this moment?

>>28169447
I thought you were going to aim the conversation that way, or to swapping persona with her, from the general tone. .

>>28169510
That'd be pointless until she gets more Persona. She already mentioned having one Persona she doesn't want to use. And presumably, she wouldn't want to lose it either.

Consistency can be blamed at a rotating mix of players, new and old.

Now, if/when she gets new Persona, it would be okay obviously. Speaking of, I guess we can try getting Jack Frost on our blank card. We could hand her some blanks and let her get the other Death Persona (if it's done).

I assume she can't take the Wands one.

"Do you mind if I test this right now?" You ask, getting a smile and nod from Igor.

...You clench your fist in the manner you do to summon, and the card... Shatters.


-From the sea of souls, I come. Hotei, at your service. Let's live life to its fullest, hm?-

The image of a cheerful fat Buddha appears in the back of your mind, and looking behind you, you see the same being floating in the air, cloth sack in hand.

....Knowledge of his abilities flows into you. Fire elemental...

You let him fade, before turning to Minako.

"We should probably record our Persona while we're here." You say, getting a nod from her as Margaret opens her book.

"Merely extend your hands, and allow me to see the cards you wish to have recorded." Margaret says.

...Your own cards are done first, and quickly, both Izanagi and Hotei being stored.

Minako's are stored almost as quickly... Jack Frost, the Magician one, and the other of the Death Arcana, though she seems reluctant in the latter case.

...The sound of the tome slamming shut echoes somewhat, knocking your thoughts back into place.


...That's right.

"Igor..." You say, turning to face him. "You mentioned fusing Persona."

He nods.

"Yes, though your current selection is... Far more sparse than ideal for such a task." He says, looking at you meaningfully. "And the two in your possession are unlikely to produce any Persona of value to you."

...Pity.

"Then... You mentioned swapping Persona was a pos-"

>>28170076

....You pause. Perhaps bringing it up NOW would not be the best of ideas.

"Nah, that's something for another time, I suppose." You finish, shrugging. Igor seems to understand, and smiles.

....Minako seems to be looking at you curiously....

...

"So," You say quickly. "Miss Arisato, how's that card I gave you doing?"


...She shrugs, reaching into a pocket and pulling out the card and showing it to you.

...It's now a pale blue, with a tinge of black and red towards the center.

"A bit more colorful than last week, but still developing." She says, shaking her head and putting it away. "I'd give it a few more weeks."

...You nod at that, before turning back to Igor.

"What difference is there between a Wild Card's persona and that of someone who only possesses one?" You ask.

....Igor is silent for a few moments.

"Nothing much at all, really." He says finally. "If a person possessing but one Persona manages to find something to strengthen their resolve and heart, theirs may evolve to a more powerful form. Wild Cards are reliant on fusion to improve their own powers."

"...Though..." He trails off. "I believe that Wild Cards have a significantly easier time summoning their Persona in the realm of man, which, coupled with their increased versatility, more than accounts for their reliance on fusion."

"Yeah, I've difference in the strain it takes summon between the real world and the Midnight Channel..." Minako says, nodding at that. "It's easier there than it was in Tatarus, actually..."

"Oh, yes. Tatarus, for all that it was, was still technically in the realm of mankind." Igor says, nodding. "The realm you have been exploring appears to be part of the collective unconsciousness."

...Interesting to know, but... It's been nearly effortless for you to summon, after that first time...

Oh lol.

How many Personas can Yuu support right now?

Beyond that I think we're done here and it's time to bide Igor goodnight and send Minako home.

Actually, if I got it right, Margaret just pulled them out for her right? So we wouldnt be using up a card by taking Jack Frost?

I could've *sworn* it was rank 1, but I can't check the previous version for some reason. Oh well.

Yes. Oh, ask if other P-users get Social Links. And if a Social Link between two P-Users can actually be different.

>"What's a Social Link, then?" You ask, catching Minako's attention. "I've had this feeling that I've...Gotten an understanding, I guess, of several people, and according to Miss Arisato, I seem to go somewhat vacant when it happens."

I think it's funny this is apparently the first time she heard of Social Links. Unless she assumed something else was up with Minato.

>>28170412
Can we check the Compendium for possible fusions? And get Jack Frost? I doubt she'd take kindly to us trying to take the other one.

Luxury items, maybe? Maybe supernatural people still participate in the economy to an extent.

...

Maybe ask if we can talk to our Personae. Because Hotei talked a bit at least.

>>28170736

>Even more questions.

"Alright. Since I arrived in town, I've been getting... Information I shouldn't know, and memories that don't quite fit." You say, watching Igor's reaction. "Know anything about that?"

His expression remains the same.

"My, my..." He says, rubbing his chin. "It appears the 'World' is linking you to the collective unconsciousness..."

"Yes, that must be it." He continues, looking at you carefully. "The 'World' arcana is feeding you information that is relevant to the situation at hand."

That... Makes sense.

"Alright, then. That would explain how it's always something at least useful in the background information..." You say, shaking your head. "What else is up with the deck? How does it differ from a normal Wild Card?"

Igor goes silent.

"There is... Much I cannot say regarding it." He says after a moment. "A normal Wild Card would be restricted to only the major arcana when it comes to Persona, barring mutations."

"You may use the Persona of the four suits freely, as well as those of the major arcana." He continues. "In addition to a number of side benefits that you are no doubt noticing."

...That unnatural luck, both good and ill, of yours. The memories...

"Yes, I see you are." Igor smiles. "That is the extent of which I can inform you, sadly."

"That's alright. So, the Wild Card is in the deck too, right?" You ask, getting a nod from Igor.

...That's about it.

"One more thing for you, Igor." You say. "Can other Persona users form Social Links?"

His eyes widen, and his smile soon does as well.

"Oh, yes. Provided they form a suitable bond, and gain a deeper understanding of the person on their own, they most certainly are able to." Igor says, spreading his hands as he looks at you. "Though Wild Cards are the most likely to be able to turn such bonds into Social Links."

"Alright, then." You say, glancing around. Minako's poking at the cabinet that was on your way in, it seems...

"Margaret, could you give me a copy of the Jack Frost that's in the book?" You ask as you turn to face her.

....A moments effort passes, and you can feel the presen-

-Glad to meetcha, HEE-HO!-

...Yep, you've picked up a Persona again. A cold one, it feels like.

"I think that's it." You say, cracking your neck. Sure, the place is wider, but it isn't much TALLER yet, is it?

Minako nods, looking over at the table.

"Any chance you have a spare key you could give me?" She asks in a sheepish tone.

....Igor looks at her carefully, before nodding and holding out a hand.

"I most certainly do." He says, key appearing on the tip of his finger and floating gently. "But please, try to not lose it."

"Absolutely." She says, walking over and taking it carefully.

....

The two of you leave, stepping out of the door.

...The road is the same as when you went into the Velvet Room, sparsely populated.
