We share the same pain
OOC: Ok, I'll need a minute to think about this one.
It's 10:30 here so I'll stay up
OOC: Ok, I got a vague idea.
Ok, so should we go inside the TV, then. We all need practice after all.
*cracks knuckles*

Let's do this thing!

Thanks for helping out the others with their Personas, Narukami-kun.

💖💖💖
Sure thing, then. We don't know when the next crisis will come calling.
@IamThou
It's almost become my job on this site.
Alright, I'm ready!
The TV world should be safe enough if we steer clear of the ship.

@IamThou Hey Lavenza. Thanks again for that Satan.
Ok, Let's go!
*Pushes Minato in head first*
My job is to be an apathetic, bored asshole unless we are beating the shit out of shadows
*Jumps into TV*
Meh why not *dives into tv head first*
*Follows them into the TV*
Alrighty! Let's a go!

*jumps into the tv*

You're welcome, Delta-san. I hope he doesn't take over you.
*Slides in feet first.*
Back into the rabbit hole we go. *Leaps into the TV.*
*lands on feet, staggers a bit and then falls*

Well...I'm getting better at least...
The landscape is vastly different, from previous journeys into the TV world, before you lies a cityscape completely devoid of any life*
Huh, this is new...
*Executes another roll upon entering* Huh? Did we get spat back out again? No... it's too empty to be the city...
*Lands on his feet, squatting as he touches the ground*
Whew...
Man, am I glad I have landing experience...
*There is a single road extending forwards*
OWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! *Lands on ass again* Dammit it happened again
Ok, now to release the butterf-why is the jar empty?
There has to be some way to prevent this
@MinatoArisato14
How did you land on you ass if you went in head first?
I guess you let it our pre-maturely?
*out
No, that's not like him...I think Mimi got out on their own...
Jesus christ-

What's uh-...What's going on here, exactly?
Well, that might not be good, we should look around for them.
*Lands on his feet before rolling with the momentum. Brushes himself off as he gets up.*

The butterfly is gone? Maybe if we offer it some flowers it'll appear.
Persona awakening.
Well, there's only one way to go.
Shall we?
I have no idea Narukami
That depends on its mood, sometimes flowers aren't enough.
Oh. Well I don't really need that.

...What are you all looking for?
Well there's just the one road, so I think we need to go this way. Be on your guard.
Alright let's go
I guess if that's the only way to go.
@Ari3s the butterfly that is the last powerful shard of the sea of human souls.
Well if you're not here for awakening there's always training. Like the rest of us.

As for landing on your ass, ask Ryuji. Or Yosuke.
*casually walks with hands in both pockets*
*As you step forward you notice the path seems to get oddly narrow*
Come, Leonidas! A spear if you would be so kind.

*summons Leonidas to equip a spear*

Alright.

*marches forward*
Hey everyone I'm here now. Also I'll help fight shadows if any pop up.
Oh. Well, shit I'm down. Could use a bit of training.

As for the butterfly, I'll lend a hand if I'm needed.
*Your all forced to walk in a single file line*
Enclosed spaces aren't good for group fights. Stay alert everyone. Things could get dicey at any moment.
Geeze, where were all of you before when there was a space ship and some Shadow King?

Is it getting tighter or is it just me?
Tight squeeze through here huh?

Think small, think tiny...
Hey I have Personas that fly I could totally not walk in a line.
Hey, Tatsuya. Your help is always welcome.
Erg, this is getting cramped...

Who would design a city like this, a sadist?
Eyes in the sky might be useful, be careful though.
So why are we on a death hallway?
What's going on?
This is strange for a dungeon though, only the road gets more narrow. If we step off the road something bad might happen.
Well path but whatever. Also come Lucifer! *Lucifer picks up Tatsuya and flys above the group looking ahead*
Oh- Uh- N-Never mind.

I don't do tight spaces.

Good luck with that ya'll.
*Suddenly a spike shoots out of the ground aimed at Lucifer*
I'll come down if anything changes.
I wonder...Leonidas, throw a spear off the side of the road.
Tatsu!
Dammit! Look out!!
*Lucifer darts down dodging out of the way and landing* Well shit there goes that plan.
Hahaha! You should learn to play by the rules of this world!
*The swarm of butterflies suddenly comes into view*
Found you, ya damn insect!
Looks like whatever made this has banned us from trying to cheat with flight.
Mimi! What nonsense do you have up your butterfly sleeves this time?
Pff I'm an honorary phantom thief screw the rules.
So, you're the one feeding me this darkness, truly a delicious feast of despair.
Also what's hanging Nyarlathotep?
I think Mimi is in Nyarlathotep form right now...
Something feels off about this.
It's talking about us feeding it despair. Something's VERY off about this.
Beyond the fact we're walking right where Nyarlathotep wants?
Mimi, what did I say about behaving?

Leonidas! Skewer the damn moth!

*Leonidas launches a spear at the butterfly*
*A sinister dark aura appears around the swarm as it takes the form of @Emerson*
Shadow:...
Well, it's started...

Hello, "me".
*The spear disintegrates before making contact*
Shadow: Hello, how does it feel...
These shadows love a good reveal... I'm glad I didn't have to go through this. It's stressful enough with other people's shadow selves...
To be stuck in a single file line on a increasingly smaller path? Mostly just cramped.
I fought my shadow once. Apollo got null dark out a the deal.
*An oddly twisted smile forms on the shadows face*
Shadow: No, how does it feel to be completely alone!
*A wave of darkness engulfs the party leaving only @emerson by themselves to face the shadow*
W-what! Yu!? Tatsu!? Guys!?

A-anyone..?
I didn't have to face mine. It was practically chomping at the bit t--

Hey! This wasn't how this was supposed to go, Mimi! Mimi!
Dammit....we can't get to them! And my spear didn't reach...
Come out Apollo and light up the night!*burning light pours forth from Apollo*
Shadow: Haha! Now do you see, it's only you. The other...have abandoned you.
Where did they go, insect!
*The light only has minor success with piercing the darkness*
I know they wouldn't have done this of their own free will!
Even with Apollo there's still darkness around. What the hell is this shadow?!
Shadow: It's as I've said they've abandoned you to the abyss. You're all alone now.
Oh come on. You expect me to believe they aren't trying to get me out of... whatever this is!
Tsk. What do we do?
It's Nyarlathotep I'm there's not much to do.
It's because we've been feeding it all night, no doubt. Every single shadow it had to create was just another meal.
A shadow only reflects the darkness of the caster. Though, I can't help but feel this might be because of how much darkness we've been feeding the butterfly.
Hey can you hear me in there! Can't believe a navigator might be useful for once.
I-I mean, sure, I can't hear them or see them or anything, but that doesn't mean they're gone!

I-I think...
Shadow: why must you keep denying how you really feel. You know they've already abandoned you, why still hold onto hope?
Leonidas, let them hear your battle cry! Scream to the heavens, that they aren't alone!

*Leonidas proceeds to roar insanely loud*
Navigator, healer, there's a lot we seem to need to be a serious team.
Grr ya know at this point we might be better with the real Nyarlathotep back. At least then Philemon would be around most likely.
Shadow: Tsk!
*Spikes form out of the darkness attempting to impale Leonidas*
Hey I'm a solid healer as is Yu.
Who was stronger Tatsuya? Nyarly or Philemon?
Shadow: I am you and you are me.
Crap come out Apollo! *Leonidas is pushed out of the way*
Come on! I've seen two of these things at this point! I'm not about to be fooled by a dumb fake!

You're not even close to being right!
You're not me at all!
Heh as much as I'd love to say I'm the strongest I doubt I could kill those two.
Huh!?

*gets blasted backwards*

Grr...he...he doesn't seem to like me yelling...haha...so that means...we gotta yell louder!

*regains balance covering a wound in the side*

Once more Leonidas, let's show them that they aren't alone!

*roars again*
*The shadows smile becomes more twisted as dark energy starts pouring out from it*
Shadow: That's right! I'm not you! I'll never be alone again!
W-wait! I-I meant...

Shit... I got flustered and messed up...
OOC: Shadow boss music just kicked in...holy fartin' immersion!
Well then time for a fight yeah? Alright bring it Nyarly!
*The shadow twists and morphs into a massive formless cloud of darkness only seeable via a white mask with a twisted smile*
I'll end your loneliness once and for all! Hell's Judgement!
Hopefully he'll let us fight. Knowing Evil Butterfly he'll keep us out here while he kills Emerson.
Emerson should be fine, they have the spear I gave them earlier...But we can't leave them for long.
Come out Satan Alpha Blaster! *Blasts of energy fly toward the mask* Hit that damn mask or at least near it!
If only we could reach them somehow. Ramses, Ziodyne!
If there's one thing I know how to do... ITS HOW TO CASTE AWAY ILLUSIONS!
Izanagi-no-Okami!
MYRIAD TRUTHS!
OOC: Is the darkness gone? or are we just sitting here?
Alright!
*Begins slashing at the shadow walls with the spear*

If I'm truely alone, I might as well put up a fight!
OOC I think we can see the mask through the darkness.
Leonidas! Agidyne!
*The darkness begins to fade away but out pours a cloud of darkness*
Fine! You can all be dragged into the dark then!
Emerson!

*rushes over*

How are you holding up?
I-I'm fine.
Sorry. I messed up and said the thing...
Alright you son of a bitch let's see if you can handle real fighters! Trumpeter debilitate!
Ya did good, don't worry.

*turns to the shadow*

Now it's our turn, only attack when it's focused on us! Let's go.

Leonidas, time to punch it in the face! Brave Blade!
With pleasure! Raffles! Assault Dive!

*summons forth his Persona, who manifests a squared off sword and swings it toward the Shadow-Nyarlathotep thing*
Well, then, now that you're all here...let's try to enjoy ourselves.
Maeigaon!
Ramses, Heat Riser all around!
Since you're all in the darkness now, we can attack the mask directly, right?
*The attacks don't seem to connect and just phase through the shadow*
You really think you can fight back against the dark like that...
*The mask fades into the cloud*
Dammit!

*protects Emerson*

Huh, looks like my Persona is strong against darkness... alright!
Lakshmi Mediarahan! *Light comes forth on us and patchs up wounds*
Ok, one more time!
Izanagi-no-Okami!
Myriad Truths!
*Takes average damage from Dark*

Grr... looks like this one's magic-only too.
Shit... did anyone notice a weakness while attacking earlier? Did anything make the shadow react?
Hmm...it's inside the cloud... I think I have an idea. Everyone charge up, I'll expose the mask inside the cloud. Get ready.
*The darkness withdraws once more and the mask becomes visible*
Apollo burn this darkness Nova Kaiser!*the two attacks combine into a blur of flames* Huh nifty a new fusion spell!
There it is!
Strike it now!
*Yu collapses breathing heavily*
I don't know if I can do that, again.
Magic it is then. Satan, Black Viper!
*Takes no damage from dark* Thanks shadow me.
Looks like it's exposed!

Thou art I...

Psiodyne!
Yu! *Rushes over* Will this help?
*Give Soma*
I only have a few but... we might need it.
Crap you don't do many fusion spells huh Yu? Oh hey Delta does that Satan have Alpha Blaster?
*Cracks begin to appear in the mask, but suddenly the darkness covers the area once more and the mask is obscured*
Alright, Leonidas! Let's try our new attack! Give him our fury, SPARTAN RAIN!

*Leonidas launches a barrage of spears arcing towards the mask*

Now! Emerson, while it's distracted!
Also Trumpeter Debilitate once more!
@Tatsuya
Myriad truths isn't exactly a normal spell.
checkmate! Leonidas! Light the spears on fire! We'll find the it's shadow in the cloud!
I'll try!

*Rushes with the spear and thrusts towards the mask*
It looks like it's using the shadows to protect the mask when in trouble.
Do you really think this will end your loneliness...they'll just abandon you.
True. I guess fusing two spells that are so powerful is pretty rough. Course I got about as much SP as a velvet room attendant these days. Apollo Maragidyne!
Black Viper and Diamond Dust are it's unique skills. I'm sure Alpha Blaster can combine with Black Viper though.

Want to give it a try? Might give us the edge to finish this.
*The attacks continue to fade into the darkness, but the dark is beginning to clear*
Don't listen to it Emerson. Believe in yourself. We wouldn't be here with you if we didn't believe in you.
Who knows! Maybe they will! But I'll choose to believe otherwise! I'll choose to believe that the bonds we have are something special, and aren't easily forgotten!
You will always be alone...
Abyssal Wings!
Darn Well might as well try. Likely not Armageddon but it'll hurt I'm sure. Lucifer Omega Cluster!
Leonidas quick!

*Leonidas rushes in front of Emerson and takes the attack*
Satan, Black Viper! Combine it with the Omega Cluster! (I'll leave the details to you Tatsuya)
Klib! Are you alright!
I was once afraid of being alone, afraid to lose all my friends. I was so afraid that I'd rather live in an illusion than face reality. It was thanks to that though that I realized that no one is ever truly alone!
This is the part where you're supposed to give up and talk to your other half, you know!

Give him another Psiodyne, Raffles!
* the two spells form into a massive wave of Almighty dark that cuts into the shadow*
(Also how did I become the fusion spell guy?)
Emerson, don't worry about me..

*drops to a knee*

He's one tough cookie, but that can only say the same about you. So I think it's about time you ended this.

Leonidas, one more Agidyne!!
What is this!
*The darkness is pulled all the way back revealing a mass of darkness with the mask over it*
OOC: Because there's no fusion spells in P4, and you're the only other wild card/pre-P3 character here.
This is it, the final push!

I'll try my best Klib.
OOC: There are a few fusions spells in P4golden but their character specific.
OOC Right I keep forgetting that we lost one the of coolest things ever.
Emerson now! Go for it!

Leonidas, buff them with Heat Riser!

*falls flat*
Do you truly think you can pierce the darkness of solitude?
That was pretty co-

*The Satan mask appears on his face, glowing a fierce red. Dropping to the ground, he struggles to get the mask off, panting heavily.*

Too many Black Vipers for me...
Apollo burn it away Nova Cyther! *A more focused blast of nuclear fire rushes toward the shadow*
Klib! Delta!

Alright, once more, here I go!

*Sprints full force towards the mask, before pushing the spear forward as hard as possible*
OOC Also I hope nobody minds how strong Tatsuya is. I kinda figured he should be really powerful but I can tone it down if people want.
*The shadow is engulfed in flames*
AaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!
*The spear pierces directly into the mask shattering it into pieces*
OOC: I mean, it fits his character being yknow one of the older and more experienced users
Ha ha! Take THAT you overfed butterfly!
Hmm don't like the burning hate of a sun god?
*face first in the ground but raises arms up*

woooooooooooooooooooooooo!

*arms drop*
*The shadow begins to fade until only shadow Emerson is left*
How...how can you not be afraid...the fear that they'll all leave again, aren't you afraid to be left behind?
OOC yeah kinda what I thought. I'm kind of playing with movesets though cause P2 was super fusion spell heavy. Ma buffs were only a fusion in P2.
Hmmp even if your friends are made to forgot you by a good you'll always have the times you shared.
OOC: That sounds rough
OOC Yes yes it was.
I am scared of it.
But, wouldn't it be better to make an effort for it to not happen, rather than sit back and just let it go on.
Besides, I believe in my friends.
Not that we ever would forget, even if a God made us.

After all, we kill Gods daily around here.
I'll be alright. Kind of pushed my luck not using my natural Persona...

Go face yourself @Emerson

*Breathes deeply and sighs.*
Heh yeah I guess Philemon isn't going to take you guys from me.
*The shadows expression softens*
Shadow: I see, then I want to believe in them, too.
*It begins to fade away leaving behind only a card and a lone butterfly*
How do you use other Personas anyways Delta? You're not like any wildcard I've ever seen before.
*rises from the ground*

Mimi. Jar. NOW!
*Quickly catches the butterfly and puts it into a jar*
I need to keep this thing contained for a while.
*crumples into a sit*
Man, that was exhausting.
I'm not used to this stuff yet, am I...
It seems three a day really is the limit if we want to avoid fighting a shadow like that again.
Hey guys maybe if we feed the butterfly positive​ feelings it'll make Philemon stronger? Be nice to weaken ole crawling chaos.
*pulls out a soma and uses it*

Ah! Much better! I should probably get a shield soon, this whole getting hit thing sucks.
How would we even feed it positive feeling though?
Yeah I'd like to try other ways of Awakening to. Maybe do the Persona game sometime? If Igor can make that work anyways.
@imtherealklib
You've sure taken a beating today, haven't you?
The purest people there are, perhaps?
Huh? Good idea, here Mimi.

*slips a snowball hydrangea into the jar*
Maybe... tell it we like it and stuff?
Be nice to the insec- I mean butterfly.
Hard to say, nobodies even seen Igor lately.
A good question Yu... One I have no idea of how to answer. Maybe use our Personas somehow?
Just doing my job making sure people don't die, Yu....but yeah, I think I need to work on a better defense strategy.
@Emerson
What persona did you get anyway?
Yeah I've been wondering about Igor. U see that fake now and then but never the real deal.
He's still obsessed with rehabilitation last I saw his nose. He'll probably show up tomorrow talking about defeating Vanity and how it advances our rehabilitation.
Well, I'm no natural Wild Card, but I have the ability to force myself into using another Persona. I hadn't actually experimented much until today, and it's extremely stressful to utilize... I shouldn't have tried to over use one as strong as Satan to start out with but I was feeling cocky. I think as long as an attendant makes it for me, I can collect other Personas. Satan's in a mask because Lavenza made it. I'm sure if Margret made me a persona it'd manifest in a card... it sort of feels like I'm a failed wild card now that I think about it.
Ah, a hierophant huh? Another new one!
OOC
So uh, I've been sitting on this idea, and I think it's probably benefitial.
I'll be a Navigator
We don't have one in general, right?
Hmm maybe ole butterfly freak can help you out. Or at least give us an idea.
OOC no no we do not.
@Emerson
OOC: That is correct.
OOC got any idea of what them you want to go for? Like a specific pantheon or lore? I can help ya look
(I've got the Mitsuru account, but a more dedicated navigator would be better)
OOC Maybe use something from fiction?
OOC Yeah no Mitsu she's cut rate as a navigator.
OOC Alrighty then, it's settled.
For the persona itself, I was thinking Saul (Aka Paul), since i think it fits well.
@Delta-M
Once the butterfly stops being evil we can try asking Philemon about the failed wild card thing.
OOC: Like the guy from the Bible? I could see how one of the Disciples would be good at guiding people.
Yeah if anyone knows it's be him for sure. Maybe Nyarlathotep to but he'd just make it worse with that knowledge.
@Emerson
OOC: Final choice, Saul?
I'd put Satan on hold for a while though Delta, we don't know if it might have negative repercussions.
OOC: Yeah, I'll stick with it.
Some stabilization could do me some good, so I'm not against hearing what Philemon has to say about the subject.
Yeah not everyone can or should toss around that kinda power. Maybe in another 20 years of Persona fights or so.
Emerson has gained the power to face life's hardships and obtained the Persona Saul.
Yeah, overusing that kind of power sounds like a good way to end up on the opposite side of a battlefield from us.
Huh like from the bible? Or maybe just breaking bad.
Tell ya what Tatsu, both.
Well, I'm tuckered out. How about we get out of this... city.
I agree, the butterfly should be less dangerous outside of here as well.
Boss' cafe should be open still, it's a good place to unwind.
Yeah @imtherealklib, I bit off more than I should have chewed there. He'll be taking a break inside the mask.

@Tatsuya I'll use Satan more sparingly in the future.

Saul? Looks like a useful one to me.

So to Leblanc we go?
A good meal sounds great right about now...
Yeah how did the TV world end up like this anyway?
A butterfly with too much time on his hands I'm sure.
Shit I think I know this city. Looks kinda like Sumaru actually.
Hmmm, not familiar to me at all, but if Philemon and Nyarly spent time in that city, it makes sense.
Sumaru?
I don't know it either...
Yeah it's my hometown. Its not super well known but it's where a whole lotta crap went down around 20 years ago. Ever heard of the Joker incident?
Can't say I have. Then again, I hadn't heard about the Dark Hour, either.
Joker? Like, Akira?
I haven't heard of any other jokers.
Well the short if it is that if you call your in cell phone it summon Joker, said to grant wishes. The down side is he kills you if your wish isn't strong enough for his taste. He also made rumors come true as well. That's where the Nazis came from.
No nothing like Akira.
... I'm sorry, did you say Nazis?

Y'know what, I don't even want to know.
Yes that happened. I once fought against Hitler. It's a long story involving Nyarlathotep and Sumaru Joker.
Man, and I thought we had it weird...
To be fair, fighting against a being literally named "Thotiah", I think it's about equal.
A rumor that he survived WW2 his elite "last battalion" And since rumors came true. Well you can guess.
Huh. That's pretty BS...but you did him in, that's what matters.
Yeah that guy was pretty tough. He was really an avatar of Nyarlathotep after all.
And that brings us back to how we probably should get that butterfly out of here before it spawns any more shadows.
Yu has it and he's in Leblanc now.
*looks around*

I think Yu left?
OOC
I'm off for the day. I need some sleep.
Night.
OOC: Ciao!
Excellent, let's follow him out. Before we run into any bears.
Lucifer!. *Tatsuya flys off into the sunset* OOC Yes I'm just going to say Apollo can make sunsets to.
Wait don't gyo yet! You need to help me search for the tuna!
*randomly decides to monologue* He'll be back, whenever we need him next. Or just next time he wants some Leblanc....

*exits the nearest TV before the wild Bears appear*
Hey little fella
Did you lose tuna in here or are you looking for fresh tuna?
*Breaks into Yu's actaul voice*
No, that not the tuna I'm looking for! Now I'll show you!
Izacatzi-no-Okami!
Myriad Tuna!
*A giant beam of fish-scented light homes in on @imtherealklib*
BUT WHY THO?!

LEONIDAS, COME! BLOCK WITH YOUR SHIELD!

*The shield blocks most of the attack*
*Tatsuya swoops down and Lucifer fires off a megidolaon at the cat* Hey kitty back off my friends!
You think that will be enough to stop Izacatzi!
Znyiodyne!
Looks like I won't find the tuna I'm looking for here!
*Scampers off into the depths of the TV world*
Clearly it will if he's running off. You okay Klib?
*calls after the cat*

BUT Y THO!?

*sighs*

Good save Tatsuya, I'm gonna leave the TV now..

*uses a traesto gem*
Late congratulations to @Emerson
Sorry I was asleep the entire time haha ;;;
It's good to have a navigator on the team!
Why is this forum so huge?
