<THE_FIRST> We are in the same building right now
<THE_FIRST> If you want to talk you can just ask
<Azure Scholar> Please don’t sweat the small details, dear Leader. Continue with your little speech.
<THE_FIRST> Why do you sound passive-aggressive Fumika
<THE_FIRST> Actually scratch that
<THE_FIRST> Why do I get the impression that all of you are extremely pissed off
<THE_FIRST> And are about to abuse your powers and do something very cruel and vicious to me
<HeartOnBlade> Cruel he says.
<chocolate_orange> vicious, too. takashi-kun, shouldn’t we be saying that to you? >:(
<Azure Scholar> Just like his treatment towards women, he approaches this situation from entirely the wrong direction.
<THE_FIRST> Hypothesis confirmed
<THE_FIRST> Why are you all so angry
<Azure Scholar> Oh, I believe there is a very good reason for us to be angry, wrathful, aggravated, furious, livid and a lot of other related synonyms from the online thesaurus.
<chocolat_orange> yeah!
<HeartOnBlade> Takashi…
<HeartOnBlade> You dummy.
<THE_FIRST> Are you all drunk
<THE_FIRST> Is that what’s going on
<THE_FIRST> Did you eat some of Celeste’s fancy chocolates
<THE_FIRST> Is this going to be a repeat of the hot springs incident
<chocolat_orange> i don’t know what you’re talking about, takashi-kun.
<HeartOnBlade> What she said.
<Azure Scholar> Inebriated or not, our opinion would remain the same.
<chocolat_orange> no escape, takashi-kun! today you’re going to lay all your cards on the table!
<HeartOnBlade> Like a poker player.

<HeartOnBlade> Should be obvious.

<THE_FIRST> Of course it bloody isn’t
<THE_FIRST> You girls aren’t giving me any pointers at all
<Azure Scholar> Oh, please. You are not this foolish. In fact, quite the opposite. I have seen your intelligence in action. Please drop this useless pretense and come out with the truth.
<HeartOnBlade> So horrible…
<HeartOnBlade> Don’t understand
<chocolat_orange> it isn’t good to lie!
<THE_FIRST> Seriously what the hell
<chocolat_orange> takashi-kun…
<Azure Scholar> Takashi Wakui…
<HeartOnBlade> Takashi…
<THE_FIRST> Alright alright
<THE_FIRST> Quit twisting the knife
<THE_FIRST> I think I get it
<HeartOnBlade> You finally understand?
<THE_FIRST> If my suspicions are correct
<THE_FIRST> Yeah a little
<Azure Scholar> That is not very reassuring, but better to have a speck of gold than none at all. Let’s us all sit down and have a discussion together.
<THE_FIRST> That may be a good idea
<THE_FIRST> But
<THE_FIRST> Clearly this is a big deal for you all
<THE_FIRST> Which means it also should be a big deal for me
<THE_FIRST> Sorry but I need time to collect my thoughts
<Azure Scholar> What do you say, ladies?
<chocolat_orange> well…it’s tempting to tie all his limbs together and drag him into the living room. but takashi-kun has done a lot of good for us. i say we let him have it.
<HeartOnBlade> Don’t take too long.

“Achoo!”

“Bless you.”

“Thanks, Celeste.” You mutter, wiping your nose with a tissue. It isn’t dripping with snot, but it’s the image of decency that counts. “Someone out there must be talking about me. Can’t imagine who, though…”

It’s just after the beginning of the afternoon homeroom. Veleis-sensei is standing behind the teacher’s desk at the front of the room, lecturing the class in her usual soft, slightly critical tone. Today’s topic is about the importance of picking up litter in the academy courtyards. As expected of children who are mere minutes from hearing the home bell, practically nobody is paying attention to the android teacher. You are among them. Your classmates are either chatting among each other, getting a headstart on their homework, taking quick naps or in Fumika’s case, staring at her laptop with cold, dead eyes.

“What do you mean, the sweets in the cafeteria are disappointing?”

“They are! It’s all stuff you’d find in second-rate convenience stores, bought in bulk! For a school that places a lot of emphasis on the quality of their facilities, the cafeteria is seriously lacking.”

“You’re the one who eats all those store-bought lollipops.” You point out. “Why are you complaining about this?”

“I’m only a little disappointed, Takashi-kun. Not hugely.” Celeste clarifies, raising a finger. “Shouldn’t we all try and do a little better?”

“Maybe you should realize that you’re the only one who burns through sweets like fire on raw gasoline.” You quip. “Anyway, I wouldn’t know. I don’t usually eat in the cafeteria.”

“Oh, that reminds me.” Celeste says. “Where were you at lunch? I couldn’t find you.”

How do you respond?

>“It’s a secret.”
>Tell Celeste about Aria’s art.
>[WILLPOWER] Stay silent.
>[CHARISMA] Attempt to dodge the question.
>[UNDERSTANDING] Say that you can’t say.
>Custom option.

>[UNDERSTANDING] Say that you can’t say.

>>45424142
>[UNDERSTANDING] Say that you can’t say.
It's not that we don't want to, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're just respecting the privacy of a friend who is uncomfortable with that (perfectly innocent) part of their life being publicly known. So stop your overactive imagination right there, Celeste.

>Say that you can't say

To be fair, we don't know she's incapable of setting things on fire. Sure, as a Devil arcana she's more likely to have Dark or status effects, but Fire is a possibility.

“Ah, sorry, Celeste.” You say, “I can’t really say.”

“Why not?”

“You know how it is…” You fumble for an excuse. “It’s sort of a private matter. Yeah, that’s what it is.”

“Hmmm…I don’t really get it.” Celeste peers at you, her lips twisting into a grimace of confusion. “But it must be important to you, so I won’t pry any further.”
“Thanks.” You feel a little guilty about lying to your best friend, but you shouldn’t reveal Aria’s talent without her consent. If word got around and her fellow students ended queuing up to look at her art, she’d probably crack beneath the pressure, like a china doll beneath the head of a mighty sledgehammer. No offense, but she doesn’t seem like someone strong of heart.

You phone vibrates noisily. One of your friends is messaging you via AETHER chat. You scramble for your pocket before Veleis-sensei or Kanade can confiscate it.

<Azure Scholar> A week remains until the end of May. Yet, the mission assigned to the mysterious notification has not appeared. I propose we take this time to explore as much of the Void as possible.
<Azure Scholar> I would also suggest exploring Area 019 and the Forgotten City. We have not yet invested much time into those Sectors.

You look up from your phone.

“Fumika, we’re in the same class.” You say to her, trying not to smirk. “You can talk normally.”

She responds with what you think is supposed to be a frosty glare—it’s a little hard to tell, what with her displaying as much emotion as a dead tuna. Then she resumes staring at her laptop.

Okay, that happened. Now, what about your other friend? You glance over to the seat next to you. Akikazu is clenching his phone, crease lines digging into his brow. Something is obviously troubling him. It strikes you that you haven’t hung out with him for a while, excluding Blackened Void exploration and lunchtimes. Even after you told him he was your friend and everything, too…

“Ah, shit…”

Maybe you should talk to Akikazu after school…

“See you tomorrow, Aria!”

“Oh…” The girl swallows and waves. “Um…Takashi…”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you, for not telling. Sorry…”

“It’s nothing. Wouldn’t want to force anything on you, anyway.”

“Yes…I know.” Aria says, smiling a little. “Well…goodbye.”

You gather up your belongings and race out the door. The afternoon sun is warm and comforting. Birds soar through the orange sky and vehicles blaze through the tarmac roads.

I leave you (ha, just kidding, no way you're getting rid of me that easy) with this word of advice, imparted to me by my grandfather on his deathbed right before I smothered him with a pillow: just because we CAN talk Celeste into the High-Cut Armor doesn't mean we SHOULD.

>>45425295
From what I remember duels are 1v1, 3v3 or 5v5

>>45425729
Depends on how good it is compared to what we can buy really. If it comes down to it I'd rather have her use it and have a kick ass weapon over having to split it. She has durability issues even for a biker. Fund shortages on her end don't help either.

>>45425838
And then Akikazu makes us do a 3 on 3 with just the two of us. That or the student council pres shows up.

So this is going to sound like a bizarre question, but: Is "red-haired, red-eyed girl who likes lollipops" a common trope in anime? I was searching tags on danbooru for characters resembling Celeste since the character Thorn uses for her doesn't actually have that much fan art (specifically, I was looking for something to use for her work outfit. Don't judge me, you all want maid Celeste, too). Anyway, the search string red_hair red_eyes got me a ton of characters that are eating lollipops, just like Celeste/Chelsea does. Is this just a thing that I was unaware of? I mostly only watch mecha anime, so I'm not too familiar with tropes in other genres.

>>45426027
>So this is going to sound like a bizarre question, but: Is "red-haired, red-eyed girl who likes lollipops" a common trope in anime?

Not that I know of, but the internet is a big place. I bet more than a few of those aren't from anime, just art people drew.

>>Takashi: Go and find Akikazu.

This isn’t difficult. You could spot that spiky blonde hair and delinquent’s scowl from all the way across Akumachi City. He’s walking down the front path leading to the gates, with all the other students giving him a wide berth, as if surrounded by a miniature minefield on legs. You decide to abandon what the others would consider to be common sense and run up to him, smiling.

“Hey!”

He turns around and notices you. His scowl instantly deepens. “Takashi, what the hell do you want?”

“Nothing.” You say, oblivious to the whispers around you. “Want to walk to home together?”

“Firstly, I’m not going home. Secondly, didn’t I tell you to stop talking to me at school?”

“And I told you we’re friends.” You point out. It’s a critical hit straight to his psyche. Akikazu looks away, snarling something under his breath. You grin and resist the urge to rub your hands together like a clichéd comic book supervillain. “Come on, let’s get going. We shouldn’t hang around here forever.”

He lets out an audible groan. “Fine. You’re going to regret this, though.”

“I’m not on fire or being attacked by crows, so I’ll have to disagree with you there.”

“Ugh, damn it, Takashi…”

With that, the two of you set off down the road, chatting together. By that you mean you’re the one doing most of the talking while Akikazu grunts and offers a bit of his insight, most of which is coupled with various swear words. If your mother heard you using that kind of language, she'd slap you silly and ground you for the rest of the year. You don’t care. This is fun. Friendship is great.

“By the way, where do you live, Akikazu?”

“…Silver Town. Here."

Huh, that’s a bit surprising. Akikazu doesn’t strike you as particularly rich. Then again, he is attending one of the most prestigious academies in Japan. “Oh, so your apartment is in this direction?”

“No, but the grocery store is.”

“I think we just missed it.” You say, jerking your thumb in the opposite direction, where an infuriating little jingle is sounding out of an oversized cat mascot’s head.

“Yeah, but that one doesn’t have a sale.” He growls, slamming a button on the side of a traffic light pole. "Also, the meat there is shit."

“Why are you going to the grocery store anyway?” You ask. A metaphorical light bulb lights up atop your head. “Wait, do you cook?”

He stops and gives you a look so thunderous the very air crackles with electricity. Koppa Tengu shrieks and dives into a little corner at the back of your mind. “Got a problem with that?”

I'll just say that triple 1s would've resulted in something far worse. Maybe. It all depends on the context and the amount of vitality the party has.

Also, Players don't leave the Blackened Void via the Hollow Express, they do it via the doors outside the safehouse. This is a minor nitpick and I don't care because the act of someone writing stuff about my quest has made me so, so happy.

>>45426395
Technically it was only double 1s. The loot roll had a nat 20 as well as a nat 1, canceled out and left Takashi with a 2. Which is still pretty sad.

The first thing out of your mouth isn’t a gasp of surprise or a word of approval, it is in fact, “Can you teach me?”

Akikazu stares at you, as if a third eye had grown in your forehead and he had only just noticed. “What?”

“I haven’t told anyone yet, but I’ve recently started cooking. All I’ve made so far is bacon and eggs.” You mutter. “And since you probably have more experience than I, you know…”

“I don’t cook a lot, Takashi.” Akikazu says, understanding dawning on him. He’s frowning now, which is an improvement. “This is mostly for home.”

“Hush my mouth, then.”

The two of you soon arrive at the grocery store. Compared to the behemoths sponsored by the megacorporations stationed in the Devil’s Hub, this building seems like a pathetic little ant. It’s bustling with customers though, the beeps of automated checkout scanners and complaints to the store managers ringing past the windows. ‘WONDERMART’, the sign says in tacky white letters on a lime background.

The glass doors slide open and the two of you enter. The store is chilly and bright. Rows of boxed goods line the black plastic shelves. Genetically modified fruits, expanded to twice their natural size, lie invitingly in baskets in the natural produce section. Over in the meat department, a butcher robot slices through a chunk of a lamb, wraps the slices in a plastic bag and passes it onto a nearby conveyor belt.

Akikazu snatches a plastic basket from a stack and cracks his knuckles.

“Time to get started.”

>>Takashi: Help out Akikazu with his shopping.

“Are you sure you even know how do this?” He asks.

You shrug your shoulders. “How hard can it be?”

He doesn’t look particularly convinced, but relents anyway. He sends you a list of ingredients in a message and tells you to go. You do that. You pick out cereal, vegetables, fruit, ramen packets and assorted cans from the shelves and place them into a basket. Then you return to Akikazu, who is arguing with one of the butcher robots behind a counter, the glass display beneath of which is stocked with slices of red meat.

He scowls as he rummages through your contents. His mood darkens like the sky approaching dusk. “Thought so. You have no damn idea.”

“What did I do wrong?”

“Where to fucking start?” He hisses, holding up a spring onion. “Look at this! The green bit is all frayed. This isn’t fresh!”

“Uh…”

“And this soup is three days before it expires! Goddamn, Takashi, have you ever shopped once in your life?”

“Well, sorry…” You huff, folding your arms.

“This is pathetic.” Akikazu jabs you in the chest. “That’s it. I’m going to teach you about shopping and you are going to fucking listen.”

“Whuh?” You gasp, the direction of the conversation having taken a sharp, dizzying turn. “Why?”

“Because I said so!” He grabs both baskets and stomps his way to the cheeses and milk section of the store. “Come on!”

>>45427559
Akikazu is the best waifu.

>>45427559

>>45427559
Forgive me, for I have sinned. I had believed that Celeste was best girl, and waifued a false idol. Now, I see the light, and I know that Akikazu is the One True Best Girl.

And so, you are dragged down the aisles a supermarket by your delinquent friend. The two of you visit practically every section of the store, save for the liquor department as none of you look remotely of age. Akikazu is creating a scene, so much so that every customer stares at you. Some of them even cover the ears of their children. Considering how Akikazu’s vocabulary wouldn’t seem out of place in a ghetto, it’s quite understandable.

He also shoves various products in your face and shouts advice at you.

“Always check the expiration dates, damn it! Search around the back of the shelves if you need to.”

“See this peach? It was ripped from the stem and the top is damaged. It’s going to rot soon. Buy these only if you’re a complete retard or if you intend on eating it soon.”

“Check the bottom of egg cartons! If it’s wet, that means the eggs have cracked.”

“Don’t pick that bag of rice, you moron! That one’s got too much preservatives.”

“Juice is superior to soda!”

“Never pick vegetables with holes in them. Don’t pick the really pale ones, either!”

You make a stop at the breads section. Behind a cupboard with glass doors, lies the last croissant in the store. You eye it hungrily, trying your hardest not to lick your lips. It looks so delicious. But if you eat it now you might not have any appetite left for dinner…

The doors are flung open. You stumble back in surprise. A pair of tongs snap up the croissant in the same manner a shark would approach a tasty meal. The croissant is dropped into a plastic bag, which is then dumped into your basket.

“Jesus fucking Christ, Takashi.” Akikazu snarls, putting the tongs away. “Is it really that hard to make up your mind?”

You stare at the croissant.

"I'm not doing this for you again, got it?"

You thank him anyway.

>>45427789
Violent tsundere who plays rediculously hard to get is pretty shit, but Akikazu combines being a bro along with the standard tsun.

It's a good combo oddly enough. Besides, even when tsun-tsun, he helps out quite a bit and even shows and teaches us new things.

>>45427789
It isn't like I like tsun or anything.

>>45427912
And this cements it. I simply cannot go back from this.

After a bit more walking around it’s time to pay up. Ever since reliable automated checkout machines had exploded in popularity, cashiers had found themselves out of a job. Most of them had learned the technology and become assistants, supervising children and the elderly to make their purchases. You find an empty one and motion Akikazu over to it. He slams the basket on the metal plate and starts scanning barcodes.

“Oh, good day, Akikazu-kun!” A store assistant, a woman with greying hair and large spectacles, approaches. “Buying food for home, are you?”

“Listen, old wo—I mean, miss.” Akikazu says, “Could you not blab so much? I’ve got a—”

“You such a responsible young man…” The woman sighs, ignoring him. “Not many children cook for their parents, you know."

“Yeah, yeah, that’s great. Now, I gotta—”

“To think you do it almost every day, too! Ah, if only my deadbeat son would learn a thing or two from you.”

You blink. In its span, Akikazu has turned as red as Celeste’s hair. He slowly cranes his head to you, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

You mime zipping your mouth shut before flashing a thumbs up and smiling approvingly. Akikazu’s eyes narrow.

“Not a word about this to anybody.” He hisses. “Especially not to Tachibana.”

You only smile and nod. Akikazu turns back to the machine and slides in a plastic card through a slot. Behind the monitor, invisible calculations are made, resulting in the money being accepted and a receipt spat out for his trouble. He begins shoving the food into grey plastic bags. You help.

A few minutes later, you’re outside in the street. The sky is darkening, the city lights already lit up. In the past, the mere thought of carrying this many bags of food would’ve caused you to have a small aneurysm. Now, you are a Persona-user and thus superhuman. With Obariyon’s D- ranked STRENGTH, lifting these bags is no sweat at all.

Then Akikazu exits the supermarket, wheeling a trolley grocery bag.

“Where did you get that?” You ask.

“I bought it. What else?”

“Um, never mind.” You answer, feeling stupid. “Was it on sale, too?”

“Yes. Also, the one at home broke. Now hurry up and put the bags in!”

He grabs the handles and wheels the trolley down the sidewalk. You follow him. It leads up a small hill, where you can see a few apartment blocks rising out of the ground. The two of you make small conversation as the traffic picks up in intensity and jams start to form. Idly, you wonder what Shizuka is making for dinner. It’s definitely something with lots of meat. Akikazu shares the same taste then, as you eye the amount of beef and lamb he bought today.

Halfway up the road, Akikazu stops. He takes out his phone and fiddles with it.

“Here.” He says.

“What?” Then your phone vibrates. Akikazu has sent you a text message. You peer at it. “Top beginners recipes dot com? What is this?”

“A website full of recipes. It’s the one I use.” Akikazu replies, looking in the other direction. “You said you wanted to learn cooking. Then take it.”

You stare at the link, then at Akikazu. You break out into a big smile.

“Thanks, Akikazu. You are a real cool guy!”

“Oh, shut up!” He snaps. “I’m only doing this because you helped me today, got it?”

“Whatever, man. I’ll definitely put this to good use.”

“…you better. Now, go home already!”

“What? But we haven’t finished walking to your place yet.”

“Damn it, Takashi!” Even as he sputters and argues with you, you can sense that deep in his heart, he’s quite happy…

“Welcome back, Takashi! How was your day?”

“Oh, the usual…”

You have dinner, opting to eat less as your stomach is half full with delicious bread and gooey cheese. Shizuka doesn’t say anything, but from the look she’s giving you she knows you’ve been eating snacks. Not that she reprimands you or anything. How you take care of your health is entirely within your hands.

“See you in the morning, Takashi!”

Shizuka goes off to work. You are left alone in the house. What will you do?

>>Takashi: Take a walk outside.

You put on your jacket and step into the cool, night air. The city is busy as usual. Some parts less so than others, and this is what you seek. You hop onto the underground metro and ride it all the way to the seventh district of Akumachi City.

Kurusu Shrines, the self-proclaimed bastion of your predecessor. A giant, stone statue of the girl has been erected in the center of the plaza. The expression displayed on it is warm, gentle and comforting, which in your opinion is very unfitting for a girl who could create nuclear blasts with her bare hands. Beneath the statue is a plague with her name (‘Kaede Kurusu, the Last Word and Guardian of the Imperial Empire of Japan), because apparently all visitors are five years old. There’s also a poem straight from the holy text of the Order of White. Reading it sickens you down to your very bones, as if someone had replaced all your blood with sulphuric acid.

Even so, you can’t help stare up at the statue. Why, though? Is it because she’s the Fool who came before you? Do you have a connection with this dead girl? Or are you cursing her existence for forcing you to hide your powers, lest you suffer an agonizing death via illegal experimentation?

Kaede Kurusu died in 2051, ten whole years after her appearance. They say ‘die’, because there is no other explanation for her disappearance. She was there one day, soaring through the skies and terrifying the English. The next, her presence had vanished off the face of the earth. No traces were found, not even a single feather from her angelic, snow-white wings. Certain individuals claimed that Kaede had appeared before them, bringing warning of her passing. None of these claims have proven to be true.

Oh no, she's contagious!

>>45430156
We already did I think, apparently she has nothing to do with it I think, might have been tricked though...

>>45430158
Then what Skills/Abilities would we train?

>>45430158
I said same reason. Even if we know what it does, can largely assume that it will not be immediately useful, or do not plan on actually applying it, it is still picked because of the concept the choice represents. Regardless of subsequent choices affecting the ultimate result.

Is cooking a skill?

Not that this stopped the Order of the White Messiah. Oh no, they could use her disappearance as an excuse. It was just like Jesus’s resurrection, except their godly messiah had an X chromosome and was nowhere near as loving. They also somehow got into their heads that Kaede had been born in Akumachi City, despite the metropolis barely being built in 2051. Hence why Kurusu Shrines existed. Legends said that this was the birthplace of the Last Word. If you had 100 Macca for every time this had been more or less disproved by the Internet, you’d have enough cash to pay off all your school fees. But in every generation there are the foolish, who rarely listen to common sense.

You sigh. No point on dwelling on a dead girl. Mind you, the world was afraid she’d reappear soon. Then a year passed. Ten, twenty, fifty and now over eighty. Typically, that’s around the point where skeletons in graveyards start becoming one with the dirt.

You decide to head back. Before you return home, there’s something else you need to do. You’ve been putting this off for a while, but you can’t run from it forever…

We asked if she CREATED it.

>>45430266
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. So is Augmentation, Chi Casting, and various Martial Arts.

>>45430302
Surprised we didn't ask about the injection and the weird blue stuff or the random deaths before we came here. Was someone trying to make the first or was it a last batch of players?

>>45430302
I think the exact wording was "responsible for it," so I think she isn't directly involved personally. Personal theory is that it serves the same purpose as the dungeon it's based off of, Amala: training a new Demifiend/dietyslayer

So, we don't throw out Inugami right?

>>45430301
>>45430331
>>45430266
ACTUALLY, cooking is NOT a skill.

DEV only affects Persona stats and skills. Skills in this case meaning actives and passives. Although I think the Chi Casting and other combat stuff may count as skills.

ABILITIES are for things like cooking, and are not affected by DEV.

Cooking is serious business.

>>45430362
Unless it becomes a new better persona it's pretty bleh Stat and ability wise.

>>45430381
That's wrong, actually read the pastebin on skills and abilities, numbnuts.

>>45430381

>Rate at which the person grows. Affects the rate at which new SKILLS and ABILITIES are learned.
Taken directly from the pastebin, important words bolded for emphasis. This is what DEV. actually does. Not at all what you claimed it does.

So if demons are in the Abyss can we, if we get deep enough, hang out with Lucifer and YHVH?

>Demifiend is a bonus boss

>>45430302
Actually, the exact post with a question was "Ask about Kaede Kurusu and her relation to the AETHER.", but QM interpreted it as "Did Kaede Kurusu create AETHER lel".

If it turns out that QM did that on purpose to avoid spoiling everything so early, that would be a dick move.

Lets bring back Law and Chaos dichotomy back to this world. And demons in general. It was fun before with Philemon and Nyarlathotep doing things but we've been having 'Literally whos' like Nyx and Izanami being the stars.

Oni. Good physical and development with a good bit of physical moves.

A good anti mage/element persona with some good debuffs.

Melchom: Reflect fire can be incredibly useful and that money skill looks handy.

Not really a good selling point. We have electricty with Principality, but no real reflective abilities.

>>45430805
But better stats!

>>45430656

There is literraly no reason to pick a rank 1 persona anymore since they'll be bench warmers.

>>45430827
And? Stats aren't everything and we need money fast if we want good gear and the like to keep us safe and improve ourselves.

>>45430827
Melchom is the one with better stats over all though

We should practice Persona Augmentation now that we can though.

I'll change Lilim to Melchom.
