The Streets of Shibuya
*sighs pulling everyone over to a nearby street lamp*

Seriously? No tact at all guys.

OOC: to avoid flooding that innocent thread more
Alright, we need a plan, let's discuss it right now.
Hey! I left when you gave the signal! I apologized when I made a scene! Why am I getting in trouble too?
I don't know what you couldpossibly mean. We did the best we were able to.
*wanders upon the group* It didn't go well, I take it?
Mao
We need to hammer the truth into his thick skull
The thing is that too many people were in the cafe, we need an even smaller group.
It seems like I can't even become someone's acquaintance. How comically tragic...

*Laughs sadly to himself.*
We all know what happens in Shibuya at night around light sources right?
You all went in at once. His real self still hates some of you guys. And @Bgammax seems to hold a grudge too. You need to divide and conquer. Send in people he doesn't know. Me and Delta were the best choices.
And Sparky here has to be part of it.
In my defense I had no idea Gamma hates me. Not sure what I did to him though.
Mao
He's jealous of you being the leader Tatsu
*sees familiar faces and walks over*

Oh! Hey guys! What's up?
I am now suspect because everyone appeared at the same time. Thats too much to be pure coincidence. You guys are seriously hurting your chances.
I don't know about you guys but isn't The Shibuya Menace active mostly at night...?
Gamma will realize, no matter what we do....we have to do something about him.
Can't say I know why he dislikes you, Tatsu.

Still, were you able to learn anything about his history? Where he came from? What his plans are?
It's okay to be hated Tatsuya. It just means he cares about you in a different way. He only sees me as an extension of you and the group though...
I mean, I think Gamma and I are cool, and I barely know the target.

I still can't get over that spine-chilling feeling I got.

Also, music.
But I'm not? I mean sure I come up with ideas but you guys just follow along. I never asked anyone to follow me and I don't think I've tried to keep people from voicing their thoughts.
*sigh*

I'll call my landlord. She may have some ideas.

*pulls out phone and dials an unknown number*
You do have a commanding aura about you, you just ooze leadership vibes.
Mao
Even so you have the most qualities of a leader put of all of us
*Shrugs* I just help you out guys, I already have my own party *He points at his COMP*
There's something about you wild cards that brings others together...
It also helps that you know the Metaverse. I can hardly fight there, so you being so skilled boosts you up the pecking order.
But what about... Shit I am the leader? Guess I always have been but I'm not used to the backstabbing. My worst old teammate stabbed me in the front sure but if he had an issue he'd say it. I don't get why Mr strength is everything won't come out and say it to me.
We shouldn't hang around Shibuya at night you guys.... For real...

What if *He* comes fluttering about?
And I use term worst kind of loosely I'd still call him a friend. We just butted heads now and again. Also hey Kilb we went to Lux's Palace. Then we tried to change his cognition. It didn't go over.
It's because he still holds you such high regard. His respect and affection prevents him from thinking clearly and he lashes out to try an make sense of it all. The mark of a deep bond, some might say
By the by, most of you went right off after Lux when we split up, right?
*sighs and gets off the phone*

Its being handled. I'm going back to my flat for the day, you guys shouldn't pursue Lux further today. Think up a valid strategy.

*turns and walks off into the night*
I can't help but feel I missed something rather important. But I thought it was always agreed that the Wild Cards took a more commanding role in operations due to their experience with Shadows and the like.
*sighs and gets off the phone*

Its being handled. I'm going back to my flat for the day, you guys shouldn't pursue Lux further today. Think up a valid strategy.

*turns and walks off into the night*
Kilb you fought Lux right? We're trying to befriend him now so your out to.
Also nice of Lighting to walk off like that.
Mao
I'm just gonna go do my job at metis' shop
*walks off*
Seriously not safe.
Does no one know where there at?
I have some ideas...but I don't think it'll work.
Maybe we should take a bit of time off on Lux, let him cool down.

We could see what secrets that dungeon in the TV World might be hiding. If we can learn more about Lux, maybe we can figure out some way to get closer to him.
I just went after Lightning. I had no idea he'd be there. I figured the two of us may have something in common, but I won't know for a while now I guess.
I'm a Hunter for God's sake the only strategy I can come up with is for killing things. Also yeah TV world sounds fine. Maybe we'll have to fight shadows that would be good.
Tatsuya, I want you to hear me out
I'm going home. The Metaverse is always such a strain on my body.
Bye Hazama. Take care.

Tatsuya you should calm down.
Okay Kaz I'll hear ya out.
One us has to infiltrate that group, one of us has to earn their trust...that's why...you have to injure me...you to break even my COMP!
I was still in Hawaii when you guys got back and fought Lux..but we're trying to be friends with him? Didn't he want to kill everything?
Of they believe that you betrayed me, I might be able to infiltrate, I'll....have to hate you in front of them.
Umm no I'll call up Naoya before I do that. His life is suffering maybe they'll get along.
It's a long story, Klib. Short version is apparently we need to change his cognition to get his treasure.

We need to get him to see good in the world or something.
It's just an idea, Tatsu...it might make sense even, as I'm as strong as you are, maybe even more...but yeah...maybe there is another way.
He has a dungeon in the TV world though. There's a lock on it but every lock can be opened.
How can that work though? And what if we kill his Shadow there? Or does he have a dungeon with no shadow? Then again he shouldn't​ have a Palace as a Persona user. This guy breaks all the rules.
And I assume the cute blue haired chick's key won't suffice?
If I had to guess, Dungeons in the TV World are permanent fixtures. Otherwise it should have vanished once he obtained a Persona and left the TV.

But what it's themed around will tell us a lot about his personality. If we're lucky, we can even figure out what that faded text Yu was talking about read.
OOC: Metis has a persona too yet still had a palace
... If course it would! Keyblades can open any lock your a genius Klib!
OOC: Yes I just now realized this.
OOC: About Metis I mean.
Mycplan is mostly a gamble, I would go inside that restaurant injured and with a broken COMP, telling everyone we fought because I disagreed with you. I could become a part of their inner circle and find out even more. But...maybe there are better ways?
Kazuya... I don't know what a COMP is, but I don't think you could get another so easily. Maybe someone else should take your place in that plan? Someone that'd clearly lose to Tatsuya and have more reason to hate him for it? You don't seem like the type to hold a grudge... I like the idea of investigating the TV world better.
OOC: It's cognitive. If we believe it'll work, it'll work. *handwaves*
*Warps in* Don't bother guys, I've got everything under control right now, I've even got a few clues, so don't go screwing this up just yet K?
*Warps out*
I still want to see his Dungeon though. Now a we need is Yu and a Keyblade user.
Well okay, that settles it. We can't screw this up in the TV World.
"He attacked my COMP first, before I could even react" I would've said...and...I can repair it, but...I dunno, after seeing Lux's shadow I just feel like I have to help him at all cost.
Yeah...let's do it
So the real trick is finding the place and getting it open. Once Yu shows it to us finding is easy. Getting open on the other hand could be tough. A Keyblade will do for sure but we don't have one now so wanna check this lock?
If all we do is look I don't see an issue with it.
Mmm, I've had enough scouting for one day. You go on ahead and find the place. I'll join in once you get ahold of a keyblade user.
Well look and see if there's a way past of course. We are Phantom Thieves after all who says we gotta take the front door?
I guess we are, aren't we? And knowledge of the enemy is a powerful tool. Investigating this dungeon should prove fruitful.
OOC: Though I'm not going to hijack the Dungeon from Lux/Yu/Persona/whoever else he is.
Hey, what are you guy's doing out here?
Wallowing in the depths of failure. Well, I was at least. Tatsuya was just angry.
Yeah, I think I overheard that the palace didn't go so well.
Yes, and Gamma is an asshole
Gamma has his own reason for doing things. I'm sure he's only trying to do what he thinks is right.
The palace itself was probably the most successful yet. It's what happened after where things fell apart... Wait, that guy that went with Lux is called Gamma?
I can understand that, but when there's no real reasoning behind your motives, then you're just an idiot.
I guess by that logic I must be the biggest idiot of all, I've often done things just based on hunches and feelings. In the end, it got me into a position where I had to face the very manifestation of denial itself.
I just don't get his sudden shift towards me. Earlier today he was ok with me even if we weren't great pals. Now he hates my guts. Feels like something supernatural frankly. And oh yeah I want to check out Lux's dungeon Yu.
Well, I think I remember how to get there, but that door doesn't seem to want to open, normally.
Believe it or not, that's also an example of perfect reasoning. You wanted to protect your loved ones and to learn the truth.
Gamma has no other motivation than becoming strong for himself, and Tatsuya happens to be a pretty dependable guy that is also the strongest Persona user here.
Gamma's just jelous of that, because he'll never be as strong by himself *Sighs* Anyway...
So we look for a way around. We're Phantom Thieves right so we don't play by their rules.
I suppose so.
There's ways around the lock apparently. So we just need to know where it is for future reference... And I'm also curious to see if there's an alternate way in.
There might be one, but we have get there first
I'm also thinking about that Terra guy. He seems kind of like a jackass but he's got a Keyblade.
That being said we should find a TV right?
Right!
There has to be a tv shop somewhere around here, right?
You guys wanna use the one in my Apartment? I bet that certain parties won't go there. And yes it is big enough.
No telling where we might end up, but I guess that's never bugged us before.
Lead the way Tatsuya.
We can do it.
Okay everyone come on *He slowly walks so everyone can follow*

OOC: And makes a topic.
