@RamenGoddess If you are a benevolent goddess, I'd recommend staying away from that butterfly. It's actually partially made of the remnants of all the evil in the world.
I do not know...I have been watching this world for some time from above. Though only today did I grow strong enough to manifest in this way. Belief in good harvest and ramen has been particularly strong today, which helped, but I mist also admit I was visited.
Shut up crawling chaos no one cares what you think, in fact just give up and let us bring back Philemon without you please. Think about it then you won't have to suffer this world any longer!
I was visited today, about when the sun would be at its apex in this region, by a silent, warm, and loving yellow butterfly. It made home on mine bun, and kept me company. As time passed here, I felt stronger, and it soon left me, seeming to distort like static as it flew into the space beyond. Feeling stronger, I thus manifested this physical form and placed mineself in this here shoppe.
As you mentioned a yellow butterfly, I begin to think it may have been not the spirit of a butterfly, but maybe something more? I do not believe the belief in good harvest was strong enough alone for this manifestation. Perhaps it was a harbinger of power? I do not no, as it felt no different than an emotional spirit...
Oh and thanks for the advice Philemon. Yu figured out the trick behind that awaking a new Persona thing. Using the Metaverse like that is pretty clever.
... Hey, Philemon was it? My persona has recently changed. It was once Messiah and now it's Messiah Picaro. Do you know the reason behind this change or what triggered it?
@Mishimans How rare it is for me to encounter a shadow with an ego, no less one cast from another. Feelings that are natural for a shadow, what are these feelings that you want to discard.
Due to the actions of the False One, I suppose in this case we are, aren't we? Though I mean in the sense that you are even more special. You are a keeper on the Tome, are you not? One of those few both skilled and knowledgeable to wield the Great Grimoire?
@Migrant I am aware of that, but as I've said Nyarlotep is not the only contributor to the new shadows. They are a mix between the current shadows you face but cast with the power of a sin and the old ones Tatsuya faced in the past, created from the crawling chaos.
I want to get rid of this feeling of emptiness that I am currently suffering from. Recently it has been making me feel like shit and today it even allowed for a god to control me like a puppet. At this point the god's influence has waned, but I know that when he comes tomorrow I will once again be under his control.
All of this is due to my damn feeling of emptiness that I can't really do anything about.
@Mishimans Emptiness is a natural feeling, my hope for humanity will never falter but I also recognize that humans are not perfect either and that goes for their shadows as well. What you feel is not something that naturally occurs for a shadow but for any who possess an ego. You must find your own freedom and grow even stronger, only then will you be free from the feeling of emptiness.
You all seem lost, but I have no doubt you will all find your way forward, never forget that the power of persona gains strength from the bonds you forge as well as from growth both physical and emotional. My time has come...for now, but I believe I have tired Nyarlotep as well...farewell... *The butterfly returns to its blue glow*
The power of demons you say...you desire to mix the power of the evil you wish to strike down with the tools you have been blessed with to dispatch them? That is a very dangerous thought my child, but not outside the realm of possibility.
Well he was as vague as always. But he has a point. Persona is the power of one's heart even for those who aren't quite as obvious about it as Yuki and Yu.
@Mishimans He doesn't just give you the answers to questions like that. But he's right you do have to find your own path. Strengthen your resolve and overcome this, it isn't something that can be magicked away.
Honestly I have no idea if I have a palace or not. I mean technically I am a shadow so it should be impossible for me to have one, but according to the fucking butterfly I am some sort of "special" shadow, So who knows?
Yes I preferably want something that will stop me from being possessed. I assumed that if my emptiness was gone then the Ramengod would be unable to affect me.
...*Tatsuya slaps his forehead* Dammit why didn't I think of that before! There is a spell for that. Well a tattoo anyways but still.*Tatsuya raises up his sleeve*

I can't promise you it'll work on gods since this thing is made for stopping demons but better then nothing right?
Actually I would prefer the tatoo option that tatsuya came up with. I don't really feel comfortable with the idea of having people change my heart without knowing the effects it may have on me. For all I know I could beco me the complete opposite of what I am right now.
~holds it up to Aigis. Its a yellow blowing butterfly that occasionally distorts like static. Upon further inspection there appears to be binary on the wings!~
*Tatsuya pulls an out an iron brand in the shape of his tattoo* Well I'd lie and say this won't hurt but I'm not that big of an asshole. I'll use healing magic afterwards if that comforts you though. And no we can't get it done like a normal tattoo they might screw it by the slightest bit throwing the whole thing off.
@Persona I see... So he is my enemy. I always thought the Nyarlathotep in the novels was cool... But I guess I have to be an antihero here. I'm not going to die just yet. I will show him true chaos, should he return.
*He bursts out laughing* O-oh god the look on your faces! It's only a joke man I'm not actually going to use this thing! Just go to a tattoo parlor Mishimans.
Oh wow you'd actually do it? I mean I can if you want I only have it in case of emergencies and fucking with people though. And I mean like someone's about to be a meat puppet right now emergencies.
@imtherealklib Believe it or not, gods are more human than you think, so they probably do...but the shados that lurk there might be tougher than you think
If it makes you feel better I'll pay for the tattoo. *Hands @Mishimans three hundred thousand yen* It won't be that much so just do whatever with the rest. As for why I have it let's say I'm paranoid.
This emotion belongs to you. As such, I will return the full extent of it. This butterfly here was kind enough to lend me some of it's strength to make this journey here.
Well tommorow if I do get possessed anyway in spite of the tattoo then I give you all full permission to beat the shit out of me until I come back to my senses. Better to be hurting then being forced to eat the same crap food foreverm.
OOC: Well I'm willing to play the shadow but if he just keeps using it after there's no point. We'll need to talk with Ramen god about this idea frankly.
OOC: Well I'm now Margaret sometimes and I also made Naoya to give Kazuya his COMP upgrade. But I'm not going to use them much unless something changes big time.
OOC: Do we know who the mastermind behind -V- and the sins is? 'Cause they're pretty swell. I know how Lust came about. But Vanity was a whole different story.
OOC:Honestly I have no idea what is going on with the sins. All I know is that I was trying to do a mini boss type of thing for gluttony today and people actually went along with it.
By fully retuning the emotion to you, I no longer have the strength to maintain this form. Know I will be with you above in the heavens, believing in you all. Children of Man, you must stop him! Succoth-benoth cannot be allowed to rise up. I am sorry I cannot assist further..!
...You know, there's that point where you realize you're a minority, being a Devil Summoner while everyone and their mother have a Persona... *Laughs quietly* Oh well, at least I'm at the level of the strongest Persona user
OOC: Honestly more minibosses like Wrath Shadow Yu or Mishimans..... whatever you'd call that seems to be the best way to ensure this event doesn't end in like a week's time.
OOC: I thought the same thing about this whole event. Since everyone seemed like they were bored of gluttony already I decided to do something to make things interesting again. Although next time I really need to plan better...
He is a False God. You must keep him from amassing power! He funnels all the multiverse into this point, and draws off of thine fears, sins, and impure desires. If he is not stopped, thine very being shall--
I'm afraid that I wouldn't know that feel since my true self is too busy running this forum to do any bonding activities with me. I almost feel abandoned by my creator heh.
Well fuck the nicest god we will probbably ever meet just died and I was an ass towards her for the majority of the time she was here. Damn Ramengod for making me act like that towards her.
Yes we do, in fact if you kill your true self then maximum bonding will take place. Sadly I can't go after the real Mishima since he never shows the fuck upm
@bluehairedemo I was just thinking Maybe I don't fit well into your life... It seems all I do is cause stress... Maybe you should find someone less troublesome.
