>>Takashi: Punch the woman in the stupid face.

You do that. Or rather, you try to do that. The woman responds with a volley of poison darts, each one zooming through the air like a tiny mosquitoes. You grit your teeth and prepare to withstand the barrage. You can take a few, but any more than that and you’ll have to stop your charge. Your mana is already low enough as it is, what with all those Media and Posumudi spells from before…

Only a single dart scratches you by an inch, tearing your shirt and pricking your skin. The damage is hardly noticeable and your charge does not falter. Before the woman can react, your fist has collided into her nose, breaking it and drawing blood. She stumbles back. It is of no use. You hit her again. You punch and punch until the bones crack and she spits up more blood and pain.

You really are a superhuman now.

She's a ninja, she must have weapons everywhere on her body that we can use that would screw us over if she manages to make a recovery or disappear when she bites it.

You do that. You smash your fist into her until she is rendered immobile, like a doll with all its arms and legs torn off. If this was a human you’d feel guilty. But whatever this Rogue Shinobi is, it is most definitely not a human. Humans aren’t coated with a disgusting crimson and black aura. They don’t make odd, hollow sounds when hit. And they definitely wouldn’t be glowing with a bright light and about to explode!

guys, if the idea was risk minimization, both throwing and hama spam would work. Punching it out is counter-intuitive because you're trying to minimize risk but refuse to spend MP work with the team.

>>45149681
*nor work with the team

>>45149681
Taking her out of the fight completely helps our team.

>>45149681
You also have to consider our SP pool and how we manage that, there was nothing to indicate there was an immediate threat to us, so why waste mana when fists are free?

Granted throwing would've worked, but I feel like these ideas are only obviously superior in hindsight. At the moment, we were already punching, and it was working, so why stop?

>>45149704
Could have done that with spells.

>>45149681
Our MP was dangerously low, and there's no guarantee that we wouldn't have rolled badly on the throw and ended up blowing up ourselves or a teammate.

You leap and try to get the hell out of there. You are too late. The explosion hits you, sending you flying into a wall yet again. You feel your ribs crack and you gasp in pain. But victory is yours. The woman is nothing more than bits of flesh and dust scattered across the floor. The damage isn’t too bad either. Nothing a few Medkits and Dia won’t solve.

“By the way, if you’re wondering, the others have finished.” By coincidence, you’ve landed next to Fumika, who is crouching with Moros out. “They don’t seem to have sustained much damage.”

“If you’ve got time to talk, can you pass me the healing items?” You growl.

>>Takashi: Heal yourself.

>2 Basic Medkits were consumed.

You stand up. Your friends are approaching. Laurence’s phantom has disappeared, his consciousness returning to Pyre Ruin Valley. Akikazu is mostly unharmed, while Celeste is coated in a slime of some sort. It doesn’t smell or anything, but from the displeased look on her face you can tell it’s going to take a lot of washing powder to get rid of it.

“That fat guy spewed out this weird gunk!” She shudders and tries to rub it off. It has as much effectiveness as drinking seawater to hydrate oneself. “It slowed by down and it’s gross! At least these were my old clothes and the school uniform…”

“Laurence and I ganged up on the dual katanas dickhead.” Akikazu snorts. “It was piss easy.”

“Steel against metal armor, huh?” You mutter, turning to the center of the room. The remnants of the power are being gathered. The original Rogue Shinobi has reappeared, this time covered in grievous, bleeding wounds. They form a pool of bleak redness around his prone form. He slowly drags himself towards you, his limbs as dead as the grave. One inch, two inches, three inches and they give out. He then tries to crawl using his teeth. You can hear his torturous, ragged breaths.

He tries to say something. It is drowned out by the deluge gushing out of his mouth, like a fountain running on internal fluids and puke.

His eyes are full of hate. Not to you, but towards a different entity altogether.

Now, he can no longer move. Nor can he speak. There is no life left in him.

Resigned to his fate, The Rogue Shinobi closes his eyes and falls still.

>INVADER BANISHED

His body crumbles into dust. Something is left behind. You pick it up.

>Obtained Rogue Shinobi Soul!

An object vibrates in your pocket. It’s one of the Blank Cards you got in the Velvet Room. It seems to be reacting to the Rogue Shinobi Soul. To be honest, you’re a little freaked out now. This is a soul, right? The soul of a monster you just killed. You’re holding it and it feels tangible. How does that even work?

Use a Blank Card on the Rogue Shinobi Soul?

>we were already punching, and it was working, so why stop?
This isn't always true in real life, but narratively, if something works but doesn't win the fight, you need to pull something new because next time it will fail to keep the plot interesting.

In real life, the opponent has time to consider a countermeasure, which is why unpredictable, exotic, or simply foreign moves are very difficult to deal with.

It could be something entirely different. For instance, how are we transporting the soul for gear crafting?

Plus we have other souls I think.

>>45149944
If so, can we still use them later? put the soul into the card, I mean.

>>45149866
I subscribe to that when it comes to very lethal moves. Punches and knives take time to kill, and supposing you hit the vitals, they do not delivery enough shock to prevent them from continuing to retaliate until actual death.

>>45150028
I strenuously disagree. Letting up on your attack when you have a serious advantage gives them time to recover and think. It's all but impossible to think of a proper response when somebody's rattling your brain around in your skull. Trust me on that.

We're beating a dead horse here. It's over, any more whipping the dead horse, and it'll turn into glue.

The soul is absorbed into the Blank Card. It happens in the same way a vacuum cleaner would suck up an irritating patch of filth. The card rumbles for a moment, and then an image fades into existence on the card’s front. It’s of a huge serpent with eight heads. Anyone who studied Japanese mythology in high school knows its name. It’s a relatively common Persona in fighting tournaments, too.

There’s something not right about this Persona, though…

NAME: Yamata-No-Orochi
RANK: C-
STATS: STR C-, MAG D+, END C-, AGL D, LCK C+, DEV E-
AFFINITIES: Blocks Ice, Wind, Darkness and Light, Weak to Fire
SKILLS: War Cry, Bufula, Dekaja, Cruel Attack, Auto-Rakukaja, Resist Enervate, Crazy Chain
- A giant snake with eight heads and eight tails that appears in the Kojiki.
It demanded a sacrificial maiden each year, but Susano-o got it drunk and killed it with his sword.
-UNSTABLE: Unless the user’s rank is equal to or greater than the Persona’s rank, equipping this Persona will drain sanity. The greater the disparity, the faster the drain.

The card vanishes, leaving you with an empty palm. You try to grasp the air. You then halt, because you hear clapping. It isn’t from Celeste, Akikazu or Fumika.

“It is about time.”

The hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

“You finally ceased idling.” A familiar voice croons.

How is this possible?

“Was the Forlorn Abyss truly that abhorrent? You emerged relatively unscathed from its opening act, I see.”

Why can you hear her voice?

Why has the world gone black?

Shit, what's our rank again?

>>45150250
D-

>>45150250
D-. It seems to be an average of our stats, with the S- rank DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL biasing it up higher. If we get everything else to D- then we'd probably be D+. Get a few more to D and we'd be at C-.

>>45150233
Jeez, it blocks ice, wind, dark, and light attacks, that shits no joke.

>>45150233
okaaaay. The resistances are real good, particularly no instakill. Even if we were D+, if we trained hotswapping fast enough, we could take advantage of that in a pinch.

Most of those skills are high tier compared to what we have, but only War Cry really changes the battle.


yeah, would've preferred gear

>>45150278
Well, DEV can speed up the process hopefully?

That persona was not worth the option of having the soul, considering we could have stuck the soul in the card at any time since we would have had both to play around with.

“So, the Rogue Shinobi has been slain. A fine job, guest, even if you made several incomprehensible blunders in the process. The Rogue Shinobi has existed far past his expiration date. We are very pleased he died at the Void’s Chosen’s hands. What a tragic death it was. Almost as pathetic as his own life.”

You can’t turn around and stare into those empty, gold eyes. You’re unsure if this is a curse of the devil or divine intervention from the heavens above.

“If you are wondering where the card has gone, it is stored safely in the Persona Compendium. Retrieve it at your leisure.” Her smirk is apparent in her voice. “I would appreciate it if you graced your next arrival with the absence of your usual haste. Nii-san and I would like congratulate you on completing the first of our requests. We could partake in a bit of a discussion over tea and biscuits, too…”

She’s whispering directly in your ear. Her very presence is like a thousand toxic needles pricking your skin. It takes all of your willpower not to collapse and curl up into a little ball.

“Well, I wouldn’t want to take up any more of your time. Be seeing you, guest…”

The girl giggles and disappears.

And the world returns to normal.

So far? No. Main source of statups seem to be from LVL up. Unless DEV gives bonus xp, the only way to speed up stat growth is to forgo overflow, and we don't need Yamato Orochi THAT soon.

Although raising SLs should also improve Ippon incrementally.

>>45150308
Magic first. We need augmentation fast. Also, this fight was probably worth a boatload of exp. Should be safe to transfer that in, get a skill, and then do the big project for the next level. If the totals are right, we Should be high enough t get the next developement if we go for 100% over for the next level after this one.

With the ammount we have, we will have 50% overflow. We will be getting training in magic augmentation with sis soon. We get the magic now and see what 50% does, THEN do 100% later once we have more options to gain combat experience and better survivability.

>>45150385
It's even grosser when you remember that the actual Arcana is "Lust" and the localization just changed it to Hunger to avoid any censorship issues. The squatters have Lust for us.

>>45150357
What is hunger again?

>>45150345
I think C. LVL ups are the way we grow stats, unless we actually LVL up normally and we don't seem to even though we've been told we do.

>>45150382
we have? C exp?


passively suspecting that DEV determines by how much % overflow we need to get each bonus.

>>45150390
I don't think we should, since it resets to zero, the req for level up goes up, and so it'll be harder to get a significant overflow.

>>45150411
>>45150382
wait, when I say LVL up, I mean CLVL up.

is there an easier way to type this? CUP?

>ROGUE SHINOBI SOUL: The soul of the Rogue Shinobi. The Rogue Shinobi was a powerful warrior serving beneath a foreign lord. Through a series of complicated events, he gained his independence, then swiftly fell from grace. His newfound despair eventually drew him to the entrance of the Forlorn Abyss. Use this special soul to gain experience, create a new Persona or forge something of worth.

>BURNT IDOL: A human-shaped doll with no discernible face, colored charcoal. Emits a faint warmth. The mere act of holding it fills one with an immense amount of dread. Burn it in the Forlorn Abyss to invade other worlds. Defeat the masters of the invaded world to acquire power and wealth. All Players are condemned to traverse the void and are said to suffer equally. For a Player to kill another is truly an act of great sin.

>>45150407
>Hunger symbolizes the danger of losing control, of being consumed by power. The card also implies strength, but strength which comes through Dominance. It is not true power, but the pure bliss of abusing power.

Also, it's the same arcana as Adachi

>OLIVE BRANCH: A branch from an olive tree, naturally grown and cultivated. It represents peace and victory and was historically worn by brides and virgins. Carry it while exploring the Forlorn Abyss to greatly reduce chances of invasion. However, the Forlorn Abyss corrupts the feeble-hearted and this branch is no exception. It will crumble into dust once an Act has been completed.

>>45150407
It's the American localization of the Lust Arcana. Lust is the Thoth deck (the version of the Tarot Alesiter Crowley commissioned) version of the Strength Arcana. It represents losing control, being driven by lust for power, and seeking to dominate your surroundings. It was added in Persona 4 Golden as the Social Link for Tohru Adachi, though until his revelation as the actual murderer it's disguised as the Jester.

NO OLIVE BRANCH, NEED MOAR SOULS

Well, we don't know that because it seems like C. LVL up is our normal level up, but I can't actually tell.

>For a Player to kill another is truly an act of great sin.

>>45150429
>All Players are condemned to traverse the void and are said to suffer equally. For a Player to kill another is truly an act of great sin.

Does this mean if we use it we'll automatically be like the Rogue Shinobi?

>>45150427
Only in number. In reality, it would become easier. Fights will go faster and safer, we can do challenges at school and get THREE boosts for the price of one, maybe even social links, more flexability in general opens up, and the growths so far are still small. We also figure out what 50% does now and not risk wasting exp if 100% gives lack luster results.

It makes everything more efficient and you are more concerned about numbers we can quickly get back.

No, we'll get killed quickly since we need at least a C ranking to not get our shit pushed in, or so say the documents.

>>45150481
Except if we postpone C. LVL ups, we can make said level ups more valuable.

>>45150400
I don't know about you, but I'd totally hate fuck the female twin.

>>45150481
Makes sense to me. Do this one at 50% overflow to see what it gets us and let us get to 100% overflow more quickly on the next round.

It's symbolic dude. Saying they have Lust for us is as accurate as saying Takauji is our Lover.

She's an eldritch abomination, not you're waifu

>>45150481
>>45150503
there are reasons to do either strategy, but right now we should at least find out what 100% overflow does before committing to a decision. We have time.

Finally over. Thanks for playing, everyone! It was another fun pair of threads. I've run out of time though, so no Observer stuff until the next session.

Next thread will be next Sunday, same time (10:30 pm UTC) as usual. See you then!

By the way, the Hephaestus Siblings can't forge weapons from souls...yet. You'll have to be patient.

What does DEV do exactly? We know it increases the rate at which we learn and improve Abilities and Skills, but people are acting as if it also affects stat growth?

>>45150521
Yes, I'm aware. I was making a joke. It's fitting because the squatters themselves make that sort of comment.

>>45150503
the opening up of a major path for us right now on the cusp of training with a expert on the subject is a bigger boost than a what if. Look at what 'what ifs' done for us today. We kept attacking on a what if and died. We accepted a persona we couldn't use because 'what if it's good' rather than gear we need right now.

Right now, we need to focus on the immediate so we can do better with our plans in the future.

>>45150535
Thanks for running!

One day the bitch will neel before us.Just like the others. It is our destiny.

>>45150535
Aw, and now I go another week before getting my fix again. You're a cruel dealer, Thorn.

Seriously, though, thanks for running. This was a fun thread, and I look forward to the next one.

>>45150554
You're a fucking idiot if you think either of those examples help your shitty argument.

>>45150539
>>45150539
>but people are acting as if it also affects stat growth?
where did you get that? We're all just speculating because we DONT know.

>>45150554
'almost' died. Forgot the almost. Point still stand. We are in no shape to wait with such a boost available.

>>45150554
both of those examples suggest we should hold off rather than cash in now.

>>45150579
Looking at the description of the stat itself, I've been thinking that it affects social stat growth and maybe EXP gain or stat gain if we ever LVL up normally, or increase our Fool S. link, which I don't think is gonna happen.

>>45150620
Maybe. We don't know!

>>45150611
How so? We continued on a path for the first and it almost screwed us over when we could have shored up with the others and made sure. Hell, we could have done what some suggested and thrown the body at a enemy. That did not work. We kept going when we should have stopped.

The second we went for a unknown completely. We didn't think or plan, simply went for the persona. We threw away a useful material that could have ALSO leveled us up at 100% overflow in exchange for a unknown we did not need.

Why do you perceive it the other way?

She IS extremely hatefuck-able though.

>>45150357
OH LAWD

>>45150658
throwing the body was more of an "unknown" than "keep punching because it worked last time".

Persona was a persona, that's more known than just not using it because at the time, we didn't even know we could forge it. Even now, we have no idea what we could have forged.

I really don't know what to say, anon. Are you falseflagging?

>>45150832
No, I just have a weird way of seeing things. You made valid points though.

Still, I would rather start working on augmentation sooner than later. We don't know when the next player will come and putting it aside will not help. You can raise the limit of the next one to 100% overflow and I'll even support it. But for the sake of getting more sooner, I do think we should go for Magic with the 50% overflow we have now.

>>45150917
Pretty sure we're going right back into AETHER tomorrow, anyway. Chi castings not terribly high up on the priority when we have quests to do, Understanding to catch up, and a new deadline for INT

>>45150983
Chi casting may be one aspect, but Persona augmentation also requires another level of magic(pretty sure they are two different things.) to be used with any persona. The deadline for int is july and not as high compared to get where we are. Our int growth is pretty high and we seem to get 5s pretty easy. If we only require 60, then it's 12 things which can be a mix of homework, study and classes. Quite doable. Understanding can grow with cooking and should level soon. The food can even help with said social links.

We should spread it out a bit as well. Go for our death social link, see about the battle grounds that will increase willpower, c.exp, and school rep along with possibly helping our house rep and getting new social links.

We should be able to make good time for the sub missions and the like, but better persona mod and the addition of chi casting will help as well in those respects.

>>45151073
>pretty sure they are two different things
but I meant them as a whole, anyway.

I disagree with the priority list, but my votes rarely count anyway.

>>45151105
I feel the same way at times.

Still, we shouldn't simply go full AETHER. Right now, we are experimenting while still fragile on several fronts. I agree that raising understanding is important, and keeping on top of int is big too. But we should not try to ram them all now when better opportunities can show up.

Doing the battleground and aether in the same day is possible, and training can help us move further into the aether and thus get more C.EXP at a faster rate. Likewise, there are probably going to be times where our buddies can't go to AETHER. So finding things out now while there is no real rush and risk. The training is once a week as well, so missing a good shot at a improved shot at both things can set us back a week if we need it.
