You are Takashi Wakui, a sixteen year old Japanese high school student. In your world, half of humanity possesses a Persona—the corporeal manifestation of one’s personality as a supernatural entity. You had been an unlucky ordinary at first, lacking the potential to summon your Persona. Then the application AETHER was forcibly installed on your smartphone. It sucked you into the nightmarish realm of the Blackened Void, where you fought monsters and awakened your Persona in the process.

You are now the Wild Card of the 22nd Century. You possess the Fool Arcana, giving you the power to draw strength from bonds and wield multiple Personas at once. Already this places you in great danger, as the Fool Arcana is seen as an impossibility by the common masses. Revealing your newfound power to the common world would immediately land your head on a dissection table. To make matters worse, you and several others have been cursed as the Void’s Chosen, fated to traverse the wastelands of the Blackened Void until the end of the game. For what purpose does AETHER exist, what mysteries lie within and how is victory achieved?

[8:00 pm, 24-May-2129 (TUESDAY)]

The room is dark, save for the faint lights from the outside city pouring in through the window. Akikazu sits on his bed, knees curled up to his chest, listening to the silence. The boy is quiet, almost calm. There is nothing to suggest that he is the aggressive, brash and infamous ‘delinquent’ of Akumachi-Kirijo Academy.

A siren, presumably from a police car, wails in the distance. Akikazu opens his eyes, blinking twice to adjust to the gloom. Idly, as boys do when they have nothing particular their minds, he glances around his bedroom. It’s decently sized, but nothing extravagant. There’s wardrobe for clothes, a bedside drawer, the waterbed he’s lying on and a small desk. On the desk is his unfinished maths homework, a few pieces of stationary littered like pebbles on an otherwise smooth beach and a half-eaten spot. There is also an empty spot where something should be. Now, it’s nothing. Or so he wishes, as he did when he locked the object away. That space won’t ever be nothing, because whenever Akikazu looks at it, while doing his homework, procrastinating or whatever, he’ll remember.

Then he’ll clench his fists, his nails digging into his flesh like tiny iron hooks. He’ll feel like spitting verbal bile into the open air. You know, just like the way he’s inclined to right now.

He doesn’t though. His situation has changed.. There is more important work to be done.

“What the hell am I thinking…”

He snorts, a grunt of dismissal, then throws himself off the bed. He tosses his jacket into a nearby closet.

He lies down on the floor, teeth gritted as to not taste the carpet.

He starts doing his push-ups.

So, I've got a bad news sandwich on a bun of freshly baked good news.

The first slice of good news is that the next part of the smut is proceeding filthily and steadily.

The meaty, juicy bad news, topped with a slice of gooey, melted cheese, is that it's not QUITE ready to be posted just yet.

And the top half of the good news bun, still warm from the oven and sprinkled with sesame seeds, is that this doesn't mean I don't have anything to post today.

See, in my free time, I stretched my writing muscles by working on the runner-up option: the tale of Safehouse Game Night, and why Safehouse Game Night is no longer a thing. It's a few short little blurbs that are small and tame enough to be posted in the thread.

With TT's permission, I can post the first section as soon as the damn post timer runs out.

I shall. I'll just post them one at a time to spread it out a little bit.

>Board Game Collection (1 Build EXP) – A collection of classic board games for the Safehouse living room.

Takashi stared at the new option on the build terminal. Board games sounded fun. It could be a good way to promote the bonds between the group, as well. He didn’t see any possible bad coming from this.

He selected it and paid the fee.

In the months and years to follow, an older and wiser Takashi Wakui would look back on that decision and laugh to hold the tears at bay.

>>Takashi: Learn more about choices with social stat requirements.

Fine, whatever.

>You may have already come across choices with social stat requirements. So far, you’ve passed them all of virtue of being Rank 3 in all social stats.
>But what happens when you encounter a choice with a requirement that surpasses your current rank?
>In earlier versions of the mechanics, they would be unable to be chosen. This is no longer the case. You will be able to select the choice, but doing so will trigger a dice roll with a negative modifier.
>Let’s say you encounter a choice like this, which you select. Assume your CHARISMA is at Rank 3.

>[CHARISMA] Example choice with a requirement above current stat. (Rank 4 recommended)

>You will then be asked to roll a dice. A modifier will be applied, equivalent to (recommended rank – current rank) * -6. In this case, it would be (4-3) * -6 = -6. Crits will be disabled, but critfails won't.
>You will be competing with the other person/party, who will roll with no modifiers. To pass the check, your roll must exceed theirs.
>If you fail…well, there will be consequences. Some small, others great. Is it worth it? That’s something you will have to decide for yourself.

>>Takashi: Return to normal gameplay.

Sure.

[12:40 pm, 25-May-2129 (WEDNESDAY)]

You are eating lunch with Celeste and Akikazu in the academy cafeteria. The air is filled with the scent of assorted proteins and carbohydrates and the queue is raucous with laughter. Same, as usual then. Good thing the three of you found a deserted little spot in the corner of the room.

“Hey, you two.” Celeste begins the conversation. “If all modern technology disappeared from the world overnight, what would you miss the most?”

“Why ask?” You say, half-way into scooping up a chunk of dry rice from your lunch box.

“I’m a little curious.” She replies. “Some guy on the radio was talking about it last night.”

You contemplate this. “Baking machines. As far as I’m concerned, the way they make fresh bread is magic and I never want it to go away.”

“That’s oddly specific.” Celeste says. “Me…I’d miss showers and washing machines the most. As well as general lighting.”

Akikazu grunts. “The fucking plumbing.”

“Shit, I forgot about that.” You groan. “Damn, I wouldn’t know what to do in a world without flushing or toilet paper.”

“And I think you should shut up because we’re eating right now.”

“You’re the one who brought it up, Akikazu!”

“A world without modern technology…” Celeste muses. “Isn’t that basically the Blackened Void?”

“The Forgotten City has the safehouse and Area 019 has the robots, so no.”

Lunch passes in an orderly fashion. You make small conversation with your friends. Once your lunch box has been stripped off rice and emptied of meat, you stand up from your chair.

“Where are you going?” Celeste asks.

“I said I would help Takauji and Kanami study in the library. See you guys in class.”

You set off down the hallways of the academy. A myriad of different things pass through your mind. Homework, Personas, mission timers and whether or not investing his snacks after school is a good idea. You find yourself in an empty corridor, close to the administration office. About a third of the way down it, a girl with a brown hair exits from a classroom. She paces around the area for a bit, before noticing you.

“Excuse me!” she calls out, running up to you.

You don’t think you’ve ever seen her before. She’s either in a different class or year level.

“You’re from FALCO House, correct?” she asks. “May I have a moment of your time?”

>“Sure. What is it?”
>“No, I’m busy.”
>“How do you know that?”
>Run.
>Ignore her and leave without saying anything.

In the Persona games, trying to pass a stat check without the requirements would instantly fail. Hence why they were originally locked. Quests are not video games and you can't savescum or 'revisit' certain encounters. So I decided to give you guys a chance. It's supposed to be a high risk, high reward sort of deal. If it becomes too unbalanced or if the risk is too high, it'll probably be changed.

>>45480966
>>45481107
If you're still here, could you put your works inside a Pastebin if it's not too much to ask? I'd like to read it all at once.

“Sure,” You say. “What is it?”

“It’s nothing really. Just a quick check for the books. Could you please come this way?” The girl gestures over to an empty classroom. With all the shutters down and no other exit in sight. You stroll in there and let the girl shut the door. It slides into place with a loud and resounding ‘thunk’, as great as a note from the trumpet signalling the apocalypse.

In retrospect, this may have not been the best of ideas. Three different figures slink out of the shadows, each one equipped various pieces of stationery. All girls, all of them with cold eyes or menacing sneers. It dawns on you that you’ve just walked into a trap. Your senses tingle. These girls all seem more powerful than you. You turn around and see that the door is blocked off by the very same girl who led you into here.

“Takashi Wakui, I believe?” She smiles, her voice as sweet as honey and as poisonous as arsenic. “Welcome to our little get-together. Please take a seat. Our onee-sama would like to have a few words with you.”

You don’t move. Instead, you size up the options available in your mind.

“Oh, and don’t and try and run. We have considerably more influence over this academy than you. If you try and disobey us, you’ll find that your school life will become a lot more…unpleasant.”

>Comply.
>Remain silent.
>Damn the consequences, switch to Makami and attack her.

>Jump out the nearest window.

>>45482587
>"What?"

>>45482653
It's probably the student council president's underlings and she wants to know why we've been hanging out with Akikazu so much.

And he took us out for ramen
>>
>>45482764
We gave his wallet back to him and he treated us to a meal. Then we... uh, played a video game together and started hanging out.
>>
If they ARE here about Akikazu and they try to pester us, don't even give them the pleasure of having us answer. We don't jeed to defend ourselves for broing it up with Akikazu.

Honestly, I think it will be more fun to do it all with Persona Augmentation so no one can tell we're the Wild Card. It would confuse the hell out of most people how we have such a huge and varied spell selection. Seeing people try to wrap their heads about our Persona's apparent ability to use every element would be hilarious, especially if they're not expecting much of Takashi to begin with.

>>45483126
Yeah but they don't know about p3 or 4.
>>
>>45482946
Sure, I imagine that's true. But when we kept convincing Akikazu to chill with us, we basically went "we're friends and I don't care what other people think." Let's prove that.
>>
>>45483176
Watch this have nothing to do with Akikazu..
>>
>>45483207
Pfft. They asked about our house, so it might well not be.

... So, who is this onee-sama we're about meet?

Is she one of those diabolical girl leader types who bullies people?

Or a competitive girl type who doesn't like being caught unawares by a potential threat?
>>
>>45483176
That's always felt mildly tenuous. "You and I are the Void's Chosen, like it or not. WE'RE FRIENDS NOW."

“If you wanted to fight me so badly.” You say, backing away from the girl as she advances towards you. “You should’ve challenged me to a duel.”

“Please. Any one of us would destroy you within seconds, never mind our onee-sama.” The girl chuckles, her voice echoing around the darkened, silent classroom. “Luckily for you, our goal today isn’t violence. It’s merely to have a talk. Now, then, if you will…”

You are forced into an empty seat. The girls, four in total, surrounding you in a circle. You eye a pair of scissors in the hands of one. Another is carrying a compass. Presumably they are there because real weapons are prohibited on campus. This would normally be a funny situation, if it weren’t for the fact that it’s happening to you.

A fifth girl appears, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the table in front of you. Tall, slender, long-black hair, arms-crossed and with a distasteful expression on her otherwise pretty face, as if she is staring down at a pile of garbage. Her gazes travels up and down your body. Her frown deepens.

“I take it you’re the boss?” You say, breaking the silence.

“My name is Sae Katsukawa.” The girl announces, her voice soft like silk and sharp as steel. “So this is the rumoured Takashi Wakui? How very droll you seem.”

“Thanks for the compliment.” You quip.

"Watch your tongue." A girl from behind you hisses."

"Quiet, Manami." The girl in front of you orders. The girl behind you immediately silences herself.

“Npw then, let’s keep this straightforward, as I have a schedule to attend to.” Sae Katsukawa continues, as if she hadn’t heard you at all. “It has come to my, and a great deal of others, attention that you have been seen with Akikazu Osaragi. I’ll make this clear. It would be of great advantage to you if you stopped doing that immediately.”

“And why is that?”

Well, we were half right. It isn't the student council president, but it is about Akikazu.

“Because Akikazu Osaragi is a blight on this academy’s reputation. He is the school delinquent. He causes nothing but trouble.” Sae says, disgust dripping from every word. “Any longer, and he will bring us all down, you included.”

“It’s incredible why he hasn’t been expelled yet.” One of Sae’s flunkies, this one holding a plastic ruler like a dagger, comments.

“Maybe he isn’t bad as you think?” You offer.

“His reputation begs to differ. Well, I wouldn’t expect a newcomer to know.” Sae glares at you. “You’ve made quite a ruckus among the second-years, little upstart. So as senpai to kouhai, I’ll teach you a useful lesson.”

“I’m so grateful.” You growl.

“This school has a power balance in place. Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. Leave Akikazu Osaragi’s side. This is your only warning.”

“You better listen.” Another of Sae’s flunkies mutters. “You don’t want to know what onee-sama does to people she doesn’t like.”

Also, let's add in a few more burns.. they are bullying us, extorting us, willing to ruin us to keep up images and likely because akiaki is friend to the student council president.

In short, you guys are more of a delinquent then the so called delinquent. Just get some scarfs and face mask and you'll fit right in! Also, if you do mess with us we will do everything in our power to see justice met out because he is our friend.

Watch. We'll eventually get in a duel with Katsukawa, beat the unholy fuck out of her, then shout to everyone watching in the bleachers that "Akikazu Osaragi is my friend, and I'll beat ANY MOTHERFUCKER who has a problem with that."
>>
>>45483484
>>45483474
I think we shouldn't get wordy. If we play it cool (not necessarily not angry, but keeping cool) not only can we frustrate them efficiently, but it becomes very apparent that they can't intimidate us.

Plus, part of the "You've got nothing worth listening to" style response's advantage is being totally dismissive, which ranting afterwards kinda defeats.

Very well, then simply call them Sukebans. Either way I feel they should be called out on how they act like the things they detest so much. Likewise, the second part was if they tried to do the whole 'do you know who I am' thing.

>>45483820
There's not much they can do to us, though. Not practically. They're brandishing those scissors and compasses, but those will only do so much damage. They can't use their Personas without risking calling attention they don't want. The biggest danger they could pose would be coming at us after school, but by then we'll have our friends with us to back us up so they'll be less of a threat. No, they're not going to go for physical violence. Like they said, they have ways of making things unpleasant for us socially, those are the tools they'll use to get back at us. But we're clearly okay with that, we wouldn't be standing up for Akikazu otherwise, so it's not going to get us to back down.

We could just leave, mouthing off accomplishes nothing and can only have a negative benefit to us.

It is quiet. You mull over Sae Katsukawa’s words, under the watchful eye of her minions. There’s a certain air lingering around Sae. It speaks of how she believes the battle is already won.

“I get it.” You eventually say.

“Is that so?” Sae raises an eyebrow. “Good. Then, you may leave—”

“It is abundantly clear that you have nothing of worth to say.”

The temperature in the room plummets. The tension, on the other hand, rises as quickly as the brimstone bursting from the bowels of a volcano. The sharp instruments wielded by Sae's minions now seem a lot closer to your skin.

“Excuse me?” Sae Katsukawa hisses. If words could kill, you would’ve been massacred to the point where a dozen Samarecarm spells couldn’t revive you.

“You heard me.” You reply. Something is bubbling deep within your soul. It’s frigid as the Arctic wastes, yet it’s searing with an energy that refuses to die down. It whips and lashes around like a maddened serpent, filling your bones with the strength to look at the adversary in front of you straight in the eye. “You don’t know shit. About me, or my friends and especially Akikazu.”

“How dare you speak to onee-sama like that!” The girl with the brown hair shrieks.

You ignore her. “You think I’m going to stop being friends with him just because some third-years tell me to? Get real.” You give a smirk that Lucifer would be proud of. Inside your own head, you switch out Ippon-Datara for the rampaging demon Oni. “What we have done together is something you will never understand. If you have this much of a problem with me, please tie your complaints to your chest, jump out an airplane and land anus first on the spire of the Tokyo Tower!”

For a while, Sae Katusawa doesn’t say a word. “I heard your friend, Celeste Tachibana, proclaimed that she would defeat everyone in her House and claim a position in the Elite Twelve. This academy sees a lot of upstarts like her and you. They are often chewed up and spat out by people like us. The more experienced students.”

She doesn’t even smile, just has a revolted look on her face the whole time. You hate people like her.

“So you choose not to heed my warning.” She climbs off the table and lands on the ground. “In due time, you’ll wish you had. Whatever happens next is entirely your fault. I’ll be taking my leave, now. Girls, do whatever you wish with him.”

“Yes!”

Sae’s flunkies advance towards you. You stand up, preparing for a fight. But before you can cast a spell or perform a skill…

“Oh my, oh my, what is going on here?”

Everyone stops what they are doing, their heads swivelling in the direction of the exit. The brown-haired girl gasps. You can practically hear the way the shock falls to the pit of her stomach, like an iron anchor disappearing into the murkiness of the ocean.

Eriko Ozaki, the student council president, is standing in the doorway, an ID card in her hands.

To her credit, Sae Katsukawa doesn’t panic. Instead, she coolly strides up to Eriko, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. “Hello, Miss President. Is there something I can help you with?”

“Oh, just one little thing.” Eriko smiles. “It’s awfully dark in here. What could the six of you be doing here.”

Sae Katsukawa points at you. “Our kouhai wanted us to teach him about the academy’s social life. We were more than happy to.”

“You and your four friends? Together?”

“It was quite a long lecture.” Sae replies.

“I see. I see.” Eriko nods approvingly. “It’s always nice to see the good relationships between second years and third years. It's a sign that the school is running well. It makes me proud to be the student council president.”

“Thank you, Miss President. It is a pleasure.”

“You know, I’ve heard a lot about you, Sae Katsukawa. B- ranked, excellent grades and the beauty of class 6-2. I don’t think the two of us have had the chance to sit down and chat, if my memory serves me correctly.”

“I wouldn’t be averse to it, Miss President.” Sae says. But there’s a hint of uncertainty in her voice, as if she couldn't predict where this conversation was going.

“But you seem like a good student. Akumachi-Kirijo is happy to have you. Having said that…”

Then Eriko reaches into her pocket and takes out her smartphone. She presses it and voices begin to emerge from the speakers. Yours and Sae’s, along with her minions. A tinny rendition of the entire conversation from the moment Sae spoke to you to when she announced her departure plays out from the phone. Every word, every threat from Sae, every piece of your retaliation hangs in the air like a foul smell.

The temperature falls another few precious notches. You look back at Sae Katsukawa. She has gone as white as a ghost, a horrified look frozen on her features, as if someone had just pelted her with a thousand Bufudynes.

Eriko smiles.

“It’s not good to lie to others!”
>>
>>45484510
Sounds like overkill.

We could just note random things like... how they love their mommy, it'd be a shame if someone brought proof of just how much of a scumbag she is.

OR how a underclassman admires her but really she has an embarrassing middle school career of being a loser and is still something like a loser.

OR frame them for petty theft, but make it go away as a favor from us and keep the school from knowing about it.

Student council presidents are powerful in japanese high school for one thing.

They get to allocate funds to various clubs. This is an absurdly powerful tool. Imagine being a member of the art club but not having money to buy paints because the President don't like you.

It has powerful budgetary powers and is practically impossible to fight against. You pretty much have to get another person voted into the position and try your luck in reversing the budget cuts your club suffered.

“How?” One of Sae Katsukawa’s flunkies cries. All too sudden, she realizes the implications of her statement, and slams her hands over her mouth. It is far too late. Her friends glare venomously at her, and Eriko nods her head at the confirmation.

“I was standing here the entire time, concealing my presence.” Eriko explains, as pleasant as a kindergarten teacher teaching her kids how to spell. “You never noticed.”

Sae is still too shocked to speak. You focus your attention on Eriko. Then you gulp. She isn’t talking or even looking in your direction, but you still feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Eriko Ozaki, the student council president, is smiling. Her posture is casual, relaxed. If you took a photo of her and showed it to someone outside the school, the reaction would be that this girl is having a good day. However, you know better. It’s happened before. A dark, dreadful aura surrounds Eriko like tar coating a torture victim, ready to be set alight. You saw it on kaa-san when drunks insulted her husband. You saw it on Shizuka when she found you being shaken down for lunch money by a pack of bullies.

Eriko may not look like it. Indeed, she’s doing an excellent job of hiding it. But, you know. Everyone in the room does.

This girl is extremely angry.

“So, what offences have you committed with your friends, Katsukawa?” Eriko says, pausing to look down onto her phone. “Let’s see…slander, lying to an authority figure, blackmail, threatening the social lives of not one, not two but three students…oh, can’t forget threats of physical assault, too. Compasses are used for drawing circles, not stabbing.”

The girl holding said instrument flinches, then hides it behind her back.

Eriko shakes her head and sighs. “Oh my, looks like it’s detention hall for the lot of you. Now, may I have your student cards, please?”

One of Sae Katsukawa’s flunkies tries to protest. “But, Eriko-sama…”

“May I have your student cards, please?” Eriko repeats, her smile unwavering.

“We have done nothing wrong—”

“May I have your student cards, please?”

“We were only try to run that blasted Akikazu—”

If this classroom had a thermometer, then it would have long since turned to ice. The overwhelming presence grows in volume, snaking across the walls and strangling the five girls in its icy, black tendrils. Eriko closes her eyes and reopens them. They are now pitch-black and devoid of mercy. She speaks again, every word sounding like gentle hiss of the scythe swung by Death. “May. I. Have. Your. Student. Cards. Please?”

There is nothing the girls can do. With a resignation reserved for terminally ill patients before the plug is pulled, they hand over their cards. Eriko records their numbers and puts her phone back into her pocket.

“Right, then! The request has been processed. You will head over to the Detention Hall after school. I’m sure Anschuetz-sensei would be very pleased to have you. Run along, now, and let this be a reminder that under no circumstances is bullying allowed at this academy.”

“Yes, Eriko-sama…”

The girls trudge out of the room. Sae Katsukawa is at the tail. At the last second, she turns to glares at you. It is a look with the toxicity of a thousand Poisma spells, and the intensity of a dozen Megidoloans.

“This isn’t over.”

…so the glare says.

Then she’s gone.

There's about a one in three chance that any of our Links will, though, if the recruitment follows the current trend. Fool is a story-linked SL not tied to a specific person. Judgement and World are likely to be, too, going by the games. Though with Eriko around maybe Judgement will be a normal link. Anyways, that gives us nineteen to twenty person-based Social Links. The symbols on the door imply the full party will be ten people, including us. Three others have entered. So six slots open, sixteen to seventeen SLs yet to be taken.

It’s quiet again. You remain fixated in your chair, trying to process this sudden turn of events. This might take a while.

“Well, that was something.” Eriko says, folding her arms and looking around the room. She flips the light switch on. Whiteness floods the room and you wince. “Are you quite alright?”

“Er…yeah.” You say, standing up and pushing the chair back in place. “I’m fine, president.”

“First of all, I’d like to say I’m dreadfully sorry for letting you take their abuse.” She says. “I wanted to interrupt sooner, but an accusation is nothing without evidence. Of course, if they had tried to hurt you, I would have intervened immediately.”

She smiles. “You seemed to defend yourself well, though. Nicely done. But if you or your friends find yourself being targeted, don’t hesitate to ask help from the teachers or the student council.”

“It’s okay.” You mutter. “Um, thanks for helping out.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s what I’m here for.” Eriko laughs. “So, you’re Takashi Wakui? This is actually perfect timing. I was meaning to talk to you.”

“Wait, what?”

We got the notification for the companion quests on May 18, with a 30 day time limit. It is now May 24. We've got three and a half weeks. However, the next player is going to enter sometime within the month of May, so we've got a week at most before we're going to be busy dealing with that. As for when we're meeting with Aria next, we didn't schedule anything specific. Just a promise to look at her art once she was finished with it.

“Okay, but I sort of had an appointment with my friends.” You say. “And I think it’s close to the end of lunch, too.”

“That’s true.” Eriko frowns, which doesn’t last very long. “I know! You can visit me in the student council room after school. I don’t have any meetings today, so it should be okay. It’s on the third floor. See you there!”

And that’s that. Eriko waves goodbye to you. You set off for the library, your body still feeling a bit numb with shock. The moment you reach the library doors, the bell rings, causing you to groan, spin on your heel and head in the opposite direction. The corridors are now crowded with students rushing back to their classrooms. In the midst of the din, you hear someone call your name.

“Takashi!” It’s Takauji and Kanami is by his side. “Where the hell were you?”

“We had to start without you.” Kanami says. “Did something happen.

“You could say that.” You reply, placing a hand on your forehead.

“Seriously? Spill the details, man.” Takauji grins, looking a little eager.

There was like none. Sure, Petra had a crush on the MC, but it never got farther than that. She got her own character past being a lesbian.

“Ever heard of a girl named Sae Katsukawa?” You say.

Takauji and Kanami look at each other. “It would be more surprising if we didn’t. She’s famous around the academy, though not to extent of any of the Elite Twelve or the House Captains.” Kanami remarks. “She was a dueling representative for the school last year, wasn’t she?”

“Kanade tried to fight her and lost.” Takauji says. “I haven’t fought her though. Hey, maybe that’s something I can look forward to!”

“Why ask, Takashi?” Kanami asks.

“Ah, nothing. Sorry that I didn’t show up.” You mumble. You’re not in the mood to fully explain the whole business with her and the student council president. Wouldn’t want to get them could up in your trouble, either. Then you remember that your other friends, fellow Players, are also in your class and groan. There’s going to be a hell lot of verbal deflection this afternoon.

[4:00 pm, 25-May-2129 (WEDNESDAY)]

“Hello?”

You knock on the door of the student council room. It’s answered in less than a second. Eriko’s smiling face appears as the door slides open. “Great, you came. Come inside!”

You enter. The room is filled with furniture, yet somehow gives off a spacious quality. Two long tables and a short one are arranged into a rectangular horseshoe shape, taking up the majority of the space. The chair at the very front is a large, with crimson velvet cushioning. It is clearly the president’s seat, fit for the one who unofficially rules the student body and perfect for creating devious plans while sipping black coffee. Maps of the school and assorted posters line the walls. You see that some of them are from previous years. None from kaa-san's generation though...

Eriko opens a window, allowing fresh air to rush in. “Here.”

You find a can of lemonade being tossed your way. “Thanks,” You say, “But what’s the occasion?”

“Well…” Eriko trails off, looking a little embarrassed. “I explained what happened to you and Katsukawa to Rinako, the vice-president. She got really mad at me and said I needed to apologize for making you bait. So, here I am. Consider it a token of apology and appreciation. Anyway, welcome to the student council room! Isn’t it great?”

She begins pointing to various places around the room. “That’s where I sit and that’s where Rinako sits. Over there were have the secretary, the treasurer and the general affairs manager. Then there’s spots for the six House Leaders, who are also part of the student council. Can’t forget their assistants, either.”

“So, what exactly did you want to talk to me about?” You open the can and take a sip. “Actually, before all of that, how do you know me?”

Eriko’s smile widens. “What if I told you that a few weeks ago, I heard something interesting from my acquaintances in the second year? Something about a new boy taking the fifteenth spot in the semester one midterm exams and achieved four 100+ scores out of seven subjects? That boy would then fight a spectacular duel with his best friend the same afternoon. Does that sound familiar to you?”

Your ahoge wilts. “Crap…”

She laughs, a loud and boisterous move. “You shouldn’t feel ashamed. Rather, you should feel proud. Oh, I hope you don’t mind me taking a look into your family history. Turns out you’re the son of a FALCO Vice-Captain and the little brother of the girl who broke this academy’s winning streak four years ago. Your family has quite the reputation, eh Takashi Wakui?”

“How do you know all of this?”

“I’m the student council president.” Eriko answers, as if that explained everything. “My duty is to take care of the student body. It would be strange if I didn't notice something this obvious.”

You guess that’s true. If Sae Katsukawa had influence like a noblewoman in old England, then Eriko Ozaki had influence like a goddess.

“So, what exactly did you want to talk about?” You ask.

“Good question.” Eriko raises a finger. “I think you can already guess.”

“It’s Akikazu, isn’t it?” You grouse. Eriko doesn’t say anything, which you take as confirmation. “He always seems pissed off at you. I don’t know why.”

“Yes, he and I have a complicated relationship.” Eriko says. Her smile has faded somewhat, but it’s still there. “Tell me, Takashi Wakui. Why do you think most of the student body is against him?”

Whatever mix of things he's done, it's pretty obvious that this sort of singling out doesn't make sense. There are worse out there and the school is pretty volatile with the dueling. Doesn't add up, even if he yells at her.

“He screwed up really bad in the past? Hell if I know. It’s not my place to make hasty judgements about my friends without the full context of what happened.” You say, anger creeping into your voice. “Guess some people just don’t understand that. I mean, Akikazu is actually a decent guy. Yeah, he swears a lot and skips out on classes, but he’s understanding, he’s taught me new stuff and he’s got my back when I need it. Why can’t anybody else other than my friends get that?”

You stop your rant, because you notice that Eriko is chuckling. It isn’t a happy laugh. It’s forlorn, yet at the same time tinged with relief.

“Are you alright, president?” You ask, cautiously.

“I’m fine.” Eriko says. “It’s just…I’m glad. I’m very glad, Takashi Wakui. He’s found such a good friend. Thank you for standing up for him.”

“What relation do the two of you have?” You question. “It’s probably one of the biggest rumors in the school, along with the mapo tofu curry ingredients and the sexuality of the vice-president.”

“I don’t doubt it.” Eriko looks out the window, towards the high-rise buildings bathed by the pale, orange afternoon sunlight. “You may have heard others saying that Akikazu and I were once friends. This is true. We were childhood friends, in fact. I met him when I was six. We grew up together, studying, playing and attending the same schools. I really cared about him. Then, one day, in his first year of high school, he…”

She sighs, takes a deep breath and sighs again. She is no longer smiling.

“Forgive me, this isn’t something I’m very comfortable telling people about.”

“I understand. You don’t have to tell me.” You say. “I wouldn’t spill out my innermost secrets to someone I just met, either.”

“…” Eriko is quiet at first. Half a minute passes when she speaks. Every bit of levity is gone.

“I don’t want you to walk away from this with nothing.” She says. “Akikazu has a personal problem. He’s always been stubborn, so if you wish to know it might take a bit of coaxing for him to tell you about it. Yet, somehow, I believe you can do it.”

“What about you?” You ask. “If you were Akikazu’s friend, you would’ve tried to help him about whatever happened.”

“Ha.” Eriko mutters. “When the incident happened, I was overseas and unable to return. When I got back…well, I tried. But I cannot help him any longer—no, it would be more accurate to say that I no longer have the right to help him. Akikazu’s problem is rooted within his own heart. Others can help him, but in the end only he can save himself.”

“Thanks for the advice. I’ll try my best to support him.” You scratch your head. “Um, hopefully the two of you can reconnect or something and become friends again.”

“Yes, I would love to patch things up with Akikazu.” Eriko agrees, looking downwards. “But with things as they are, I don’t think I can say I’m holding my breath. I guess part of the problem is with me, too. That's something I need to fix.”

She gets out of her chair and leads you towards the doors.

“Please take care of Akikazu for me.” She states. “Despite what everyone says, I have, and always, believed in him. I know he’s a good person.”

“You can tell him that yourself when I figure out what’s wrong and bring him to you.” You say back, without hesitation.

She laughs, again. “Getting confident, are we? You’re an interesting one, Takashi Wakui. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on you. Really though, I appreciate it. Thank you for listening to my rambling.”

The two of you walk down the hallway towards the stairs in silence.

“Well now, I must be going. The student council work isn’t going to finish itself. If you see me in the hallways between class times, don’t be afraid to say hi!”

She leaves, the afternoon rays shining down on her flowing, black hair. You feel as if you had just an important encounter in your life. The experience gained from meeting and talking with the Akumachi-Kirijo student council president will truly be valuable…

I think that took way longer than it should have. Well, you guys don't seem to hate Eriko, so I'm happy about that. But as for Sae Katsukawa...watch your backs.

As for the social stat requirements mechanics, I'm considering increasing the modifier from -6 to -5, making it so that you can now pass if both rolls are equivalent to each other and enabling crits so that rolling a 20 (regardless of negative modifiers) is instant success. We'll see. If you had passed the check with Eriko, you would've gained a hint relating to Akikazu's problem. Then again, playing it safe may be a good idea. It's entirely up to you. Although, Eriko is pretty understanding and wouldn't begrudge you much for failing.

Others might, though.

At our current DevPot, how long would it take for Ippon to learn a new move of its specialty? Another element? One it's weak/strong to?

>>45488808

Thanks for running, Thorn. Catch you on the flip side.

>But as for Sae Katsukawa...watch your backs.

I eagerly await the moment when she comes to us after we kick her ass, demanding to know how we're so buttfuck strong.

Then, a few moments of dialogue maneuvering later, and then BAM! Social Link get!

But why? They don't stand a chance against Akikazu.
>>
>>45489243
Fuck, we really need to buy her a dress like this. Maybe when we're dating and it's time for prom.
>>
>>45489926
If Celeste found some boyfriend that isn't us would you be a good enough friend to support her?
>>
>>45489926
Maybe.

>>45489990
Support as in go for it girl, or support as in financial? Because the answer would be yes to both, but the latter has a limit.
>>
>>45490002
The first one.
>>
>>45490015
Like I said, yeah. She's still our friend regardless.
