Mementos Exploration
Disclaimer and explanation:

This is a mementos run RP thread using Liam's (patent pending) Update System. It is slightly modified by me. (Sorry Liam). I will be your GM.

How it works:

When it comes to general choices such as directions, group majority wins. In battle, all actions effectively happen at the same time. Users submit their proposed action in a round by marking it as ++Action++ at the start of their proposal. After all actions are submitted, I will post "==Update!==". Here I will determine the actual result of the proposed actions using a percentile dice, as well as describe the actions and results of the enemy phase. If the battle does not begin with an ambush, then I will use the percentile die to determine who gets first initiative. In describing actions, please describe the damage type and amount (light, heavy, severe, etc). If your character does not have established stats or abilities, please try to keep balance in mind. Other than that, battle is effectively the sane with some secret mechanics I am testing for future runs.

Note, this will build off of a previous exploration, whose summary is below:
Previously on Mementos:

A party descended to the second level of Mementos on a Pollen heavy day, using an abandoned bus to navigate around the tracks. Several battles were fought, the second if which dealt severe damage to the party in total, as they faced off against a Slime, Principality, and Setanta. Battered, but still alive, they continue anyone explore into a large open room, at the end of which sat a massive hour glass with blood red sand, and etchings of damned souls on the glass. In the end, it proved to be a massive Perpetual Sand. After a long fought battle, the party succeeded, and received a skill card as a reward. Upon its defeat, sunlight seemed to fill the area, revealing the room as a weathered ancient cathedral. Sun filtered through the broken ceiling, water into a small stream through the wall, and a single marble altar at the head of the room. The air was clean here, and peaceful, with pigeons cooing from above. Feeling it would not disappear, the party left Mementos, planning to explore the ruins further another day. Now you, a new group, stands at the entrance, daring to enter the twisted depths of Mementos.
*laughs boldly*

So this is the place they say I can find many forms of evildoers? Well, worry not citizens, for you have a great hero amongst you. I take down worse things than these all the time.
*Walks in* Hey Jackman how'd you get in here?
OOC: Now that's a good system. Reminds me of Persona 2's combat.
Well, citizen, its both simple and strange. I got a cool new app on my phone

*shows the mementos app*

and decided to see what it does. Now I'm here, ready to vanquish any evildoers I see. Because JUSTICE never sleeps.
@George_Jackman have you ever had to fight a robot alien octopus that forcefully gives blowjobs?
*simply pauses*

What.... A specific question. First off, how did you even think of that scenario? Secondly, no. I have not fought a robot alien octopus that forcefully gives blowjobs.
Hmm so you got that app too somehow? I thought only we Persona users did. Oh well this is a good chance man we're on the same team for the tournament so I'd like to fight with you.
Then you haven't fought worse things than us
Tournament?
*shows up* ... *Is now in silent protagonist mode*
Yeah the vytal festival. It's a thing that's gonna happen. Teams of 4 and he's on mine.
Ah, it seems you are uninformed. There is a tournament being held by Lady Pyrrha, some point after she gets back. I am on a team with young Tatsu here, Kazuya, and that Shinji fellow.

OOC: I have no idea how to actually transfer Jackman's mechanic to this. Since it involved doing more damage the more he's been fighting the same enemy.
Wait, when is this!?
Young? How old are you Jackman?
*looks away*

Well.... I'm only about 20, I merely call everyone Young whatever they ares.

*turns back*

But that's not important. Just know that you never need to fear while a hero such as myself is around.
Sounds kind of self-righteous if you ask me
==Starting Exploration==
Party: George, Tatsuya, Mona, Star

==Choose Entry Point==
-Level 1-
~Start
~Waiting Platform
-Level 2-
~Start
~Cathedral
-Level 3-
~Start

OOC: I'm sure it can work somehow. I'd think something like...With each round, (pair of party, enemy actions) a tarukaja buff basically?
Oh okay, I'm 38 so I just wondered if you were older than you look.

*He smirks* And I don't fear to begin with.
Level 2.
Eh level 2 sounds fine.
*ignoring Mona's last remark*

Well then, no need to waste our time at the upper floors is there? Down we must go. To level 2

OOC: Eh, sounds good enough. Though it only happens with one ability "Minds Eye". So that'll just serve as light damage + attack buff. Then some of his other skills will reset his stats to show consuming it I guess.
(Actually, I have to sleep rn.)
==Majority 3/4==

>Start
>Cathedral

?
(Make every attack miracle punch on the first enemy for me)
Cathedral I say.
OOC: Lol. Not sure anyone has it though.
Cathedral.
OOC: Okay. Party of 3 then. That's how it was last time actually. If anyone wants to join part way, if it's during combat, then i will add you after combat. Just let me know you want in OOC. Thanks.

==Party Update==

Party: George, Tatsuya, Star
Very well, off we are. To The Cathedral.
*gets into a van* let's go.
*Hops into the van* You driving Star?
*nods head*
Very well then young heroes, off we go

*hops into the van*
*drives to the second level Cathedral*
==Entry Point Confirmed==

>Beginning Navigation...

The Party clamber into an old beat up bus just inside the tunnels, which Tastuya actually recognizes as the one he stole awhile back...The keys are luckily still in the glove compartment. Using shortcuts and off beaten paths, the Party descends to the second level of Mementos, driving quietly into the Cathedral. Sunlight filters down through the broken ceiling, as the moans and wails of the damned that float on the air of Mementos fade, and are instead replaced by the trickle of water and cooing of birds. The marble alter sits just as it was left, in a singular ray of sunlight, and a large crack opens up the wall behind it where the Perpetual Sand once sat incognito.
Let's investigate the crack.
OOC: I've never done this here before but... May I join?
OOC: Sure thing!

*The party hears a slight rustle coming from the back of the van...Turning around, TastelessFaux is lying in the back, waking from an apparent nap...*
Yeah les check it out Star. *Draws his M60 and hangs back ready to fire. Looks over at Faux* Huh what were you doing in there?
Be wary now, these places are often filled with all sorts of traps, allow me to see a little of it first. Then we can proceed with safety. That includes you, new friend.

*touches the wall and attempts to learn of the area*

OOC: There can be things like Jackman simply being unable to read an object, the explaination in game was that "its thoughts are too large to be understood". So if you don't want him to be able to use his psychometry on something, you can.
Huh neat trick there gotta say... Sorta like Em's scanning I guess.
Oh uh... I didn't know you guys were taking this van... what exactly are you all doing?
*He grins* We're checking out mementos. You want in?
*silent...*
Eh, sure. I don't have much practice with this, but I think I can pull my weight!
*George walks up to the crack, placing his hand on the wall, attempting to learn about the area. Information flow through him, allowing him to determine that this crack was made when an abnormally large and powerful Perpetual Sand broke from the wall to attack Robin, Star, and Inari. A secret passageway exists just past the crack, and leads to parts unknown, though presumably of a similar nature to the Cathedral.*
We should head in.
*Looks over at Star* Hey Star why the silent protag mode? I know you can talk... Heh it's not like we're really video game characters.

And nice to hear... Hmm what's your name anyways?
Oh, my name is.. Faux, it's nice to meet you... *He waited for a response *
*txt mssg: I was silent last time, and now it's just a thing that happens now. No idea why.*
*turns to Faux*

Sorry for ignoring you there, I had to focus on the object to learn properly about it. Anyways, there are no apparent traps along the way, simply a long secret passage. I can't tell too much ahead of us though, so we'll kinda have to wing it from here.
Faux huh. Well I'm Tatsuya Suou, that's Star. *points to the redhead* And he's Jackman *Points to the other man* So how do you fight Faux?
Oh, you want introductions? Very well

*strikes a pose*

I am the great champion of justice, psychic extraordinaire, George Jackman. Ready to protect the innocent and fight evildoers, wherever they lurk.
Star. Nice to meet you.
*TxT Huh seems weird too me but okay. Just do me a favor if speaking will help us do it? Tradtion is great an all but nobody else can respawn.*

Alright everyone let's head out. Unless no on is actually good at close range I'll hang back, more of the ranged type.
*proudly stands forward*

Worry not, I specialize in close quarters combat to allow full use of my abilities and weaponry. In addition to this, I can attempt to learn of any traps along the way. Therefore, I shall take the front.

*boldly marches in front of the group*
Good idea, nice to meet you all! And I have a persona I can use, It's not exactly the strongest attacker but it can also debuff!
*summons Judgement (that golden hammer) and nods head at Tatsuya* let's go.
==Enter Passageway?==

>Yes
>No
Alright Jackman I'm counting on ya. And a Persona user huh? Well I know how that works at least.
Yes

*nods to Faux*

Worry not, young lady. I don't even have a Persona, so I'll simply do the best I can to protect you from evildoers in my own way.
>Yes
Well, I'll be counting on you, Jackman *Smiles at Jackman*
The group looks around cautiously, with Jackman and Star towards the front, Faux running mid, and Tatsuya watching their six. They enter the passageway cautiously on foot, and begin to work their way for a long winding corridor made of ornate marble decorated with gold plated engravings of laurels.

The passageway is lined with torches resting in inlets, a stark contrast to the the typical twisted and dank tunnels of Mementos. The corridor is maybe 4.5 feet wide, making it a bit of a tight squeeze, and up ahead, a mid sized figure can be seen sitting slumped against the wall...It is in fact breathing.
Let's talk to it.
*turning to the group*

Hmmmmm. That figure looks suspicious. Perhaps I should greet it, to determine if it is friend or foe?
Sure les try.
Woah, I've never come across a shadow that looks like that... What should we do?
Well, young lady, it seems the general consensus is to talk to it. So I shall commence communications.

*shouting to the figure*

Greetings, young citizen. You are in an awfully dangerous place, what brings you down to these depths of villainy?
The figure shifts at hearing the chatter from the Party and looks their way. It's face is covered partially by what appears to be a black and white bear mask, only revealing the figure's mouth. It smiles, curling up slightly tighter and resting a hand on a staff next to it.

"Depths of villainy? Whatchu sayin bout my home, eh? It aint so so bad once ya get use to eer thing chagin on ya day in and day out."
*He looks relaxed... At a glance but stands ready to shoot* Forgive him my friend has an odd world view at best, so you live here right? What exactly is this place? *He smiles*
*taken aback after learning it lived here*

Well... I. Was told that this place was filled with evil, but you seem rather nice... Are you ok? Or am I just horribly misinformed?
*gives of an aura of cute and happy*
*Faux walks up to the figure, wearing a friendly face* Hey um, This place isn't a home... it's actually really dangerous.
The figure laughs.

"Teh ya maybe, but again, I live here damn it!"

The figure rolls his neck, now gripping its staff. As Faux approaches, it becomes evident that the figure is female in appearance, wearing a poofy skirt, pantaloons, and a cloak. The mask completely covers the eyes, though they appear to be looking around perfectly fine regardless.

"Look, whatchu even doin here? Why ya botherin me?"
We're just bored and looking around. We'll be on our way if you don't wish to speak with us.
The door was open. We wanted to see what was behind it. Sorry to bother you.
*Faux nods and steps back away from the figure* My apologies if I bothered you by saying that, but we were exploring this place and saw you suddenly. So we thought we should talk to you...
*muttering to himself*
I really shouldn't let such a young girl take the lead...

*walks towards the figure*

Sorry citizen, we were simply here to explore and learn about the place. After all, Justice does not simply stop at the edge of the known, it also moves to aid any who may be in need. So fear not, for the great ally of Justice has arrived.
"Tch. Whatever. But hey, since you bothered me, mind doing me a favor?"
What is it?
Depends on the favor. But not likely to have any issues.
*smiles widely and talks with great cheer and confidence*

Why of course, a hero's duty is to aid all who may be in need. Just tell me your problem and I will do my best to solve it, for that is what I do best.
Well, I guess we should, I don't see what harm it could do.
"Well Ain't you just chipper"

The figure says gesturing to George.

"Yeah there are shadows and stuff up ahead on the prowl. The usual. But specifically, there are a few that really rustle mah jimmies. Specifically, that stuck up Cavalier and smelly Mage ave been bein real mean to me and my friends! I want you to show em a lesson. Bring me back the Cav's helmet and the Mage's staff. To prove to me ya actually did it, y'know!"
*nods head* let's go.
Well, that sounds simple enough! We should make note of the targets and find them, right?
*laughs boldly*

Very well Ma'am, you have nothing to fear, us heroes shall bring the villains to justice for their misdeeds, and in the meantime bring you the tokens you seek. Ummm... Though, if you could point us to where they are, that would be quite the aid.
Hmm alright fine. But I think we should hear them out first as well... Can never tell what you'll learn.
The figure shrugs.

"Y'all should be able to find em up ahead. Those two are supppperrrr bossy and like to hang out together, so they should stick out like a sore thumb. Goodluck!"

The figure leans back against the wall and taps foot, letting out a small sigh as they gesture ahead. In the slight distance, you can make out a heavy looking wooden door. You suspect its the exit.
*walks towards the exit*
*Follows along checking for targets*
Thank you citizen, We shall return with news of our triumph. Until then, ONWARD.

*runs to the wooden door*
Okay, we'll be back soon with the results! *Faux follows everyone to the exit*
Jackman don't run off, there's on telling what's going on here.
==Open The Door?==

>Yes
>No
Yes

Worry not, young hero, I'm quite the fighter on my own, no ambush is enough to catch me off guard.
*He sighs* Well what if we get caught off guard? It's always best too stick together.
*opens door*
Opening the door, the Jackman is face to face with a large, gnarly Shadow! It jumped slightly in surprise, and lashes out at the party!

==BATTLE START==

==ENEMY AMBUSH!==

The Shadow explodes into the end of the hallway, transforming into a Sandman and Lamia!
The Lamia hisses violently and points threateningly at Jackman casting Agilao! ...It hits! dealing Medium Fire Damage to Jackman!
The Sandman rushes forward and attempts to swing at Faux with it's sandbag! ...It misses!

==PARTY PHASE==
Concentrate! *Star is focused*
*steps back at the hit*

Aghh... That was quite a nasty greeting. Very well then, if that's how you want this to go. Take this evildoer.

++Action++

*attacks the Lamia with Mind's Eye*
*Faux nods and summons Naga, casting marakukaja to help support the party* This should help!
OOC: Please remember to tag your actions as "++Action++" if you plan to to have some OOC or IC banter whilst i do things, but looking at this so far, you guys are great with organization and patience, sooo. :)
Dammit Jackman look at this! Tch let's crush em Sarasvati. *Large spears off earth just out of the ground for high earth damage to the shadows*
Of* Jut*

OOC: I'm tired can't spell right.
==UPDATE!==
Star uses, Concentrate, boosting her next Magic based Attack! Jackman attacks the Lamia with Mind's Eye ...It hits! dealing Light Physical Damage to Lamia and granting the Tarukaja Buff to Jackman! Fauz focuses their magical energy, and releases, causing all allies' Attack to rise! The effect on Jackman is extended! Tatsuya motions with Sarazvati and targets the Lamia with Spears of Stone! ...It hits, dealing Heavy Damage to Lamia!

==ENEMY PHASE==

The Lamia shouts out in pain at being attacked, lashing out now a Rising Slash at Tatsuya! ...It strikes true dealing Heavy Physical Damage!
Sandman cocks a wicked grin and rushes forward swinging his bag wildly, attacking the Party with a Dormin Rush!

...It strikes Jackman for Med Phys! ...But Fails to Sleep!
...It misses Tatsuya!
...It strikes Faux for Med Phys! ...But Fails to Sleep!
...It strikes Star for Med Phys! ...It Succeeds to Sleep!

==PARTY PHASE==
OOC: Also please let me know if you're weak to any attacks I throw out.
*falls asleep*
OOC: Sarasvati has no weakness.

*She vanishes and Apollo takes her place blasting away at them with Nova Kaiser*

OOC: Severe Nuke/Fire. But just do Nuke since P5 didn't have dual attacks.
*Faux looks over at star, watching her sleep for a second* ++Faux uses patra on star++
OOC: Naga is weak to wind attacks
Not bad, for a villain. But there's more where that came from

++Action++

*Uses Slicer on the Lamia. collossal phys that lowers Jackman's attack to normal*
*gets up* thanks. Taste defeat! Megidolaon! *Summons Shadow-sona to fuck their shit up with rainbow explosions!*
OOC: I'll say it since Star didn't. Severe Almighty damage all foes.
==UPDATE!==
OOC: Well, look what we have here!
When are new members allowed to join?
Tatsuya unleashes the rage of an exploding star upon the enemy Shdaows with Nova Kasier! ...It strikes both dealing Colossal Nuke Damage to both due to the Attack Up!
Faux wakes Star successfully, allowing her to take a turn!
Jackman lunges forward, Slicing at the Lamia! ...It misses!
Star now awake makes the Shadows Taste the Rainbow! The Megadoleaon...Hits Both, dealing Colossal Almighty Damage thanks to the Attack Up!

The Lamia disintegrates in a shriek of pain!, whilst the Sandman still stand, though looking incredibly battered!

==ENEMY PHASE==

Sandman limps back, stumbling slightly before it speaks.

"P-Please don't kill me..! I-I'll tell you what L-Lets make a deal..! A uh...A Snuff Soul, right? T-That's what you want, right!? Just let me off the hook man..."

>Accept
>Reject
OOC: Right after this battle I can write you in @Wolf_
I don't accept bribes from evil doers

>Reject
Ooc: can I have him as a new Persona?
OOC: I'd also take him. But I'll give it up since I've already got a bunch.
OOC: IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!
Hold on Jackman! That's a really good item! Oh but we were asked to defeat them... would this still count?
Don't worry young lady, these aren't the shadows we were asked to defeat. However, it would still be wrong to allow him to simply have his way with the world. Thus, we must reject his offer and bring the villain to JUSTICE.
This isn't them. *Points a repeater pistol at Sandman* join me.
Nah there's another way. Hey Star I think you should take it yeah?
OOC: sorry no persona collecting. At least not in this run. Still trying to cone up with how to include the negotiation system further than just this.
I don't think he's planning on doing anything more evil... I mean, just look at him, he's practically already dead...
But alright, I guess you may have a point...
>Reject
"W-Wgat? Join you? Fuck off! I don't know W-What youre playing at...! J-Just...are ya gonna take the Soul or not..?"

>Accept
>Reject
*rejects and requests an all out attack*
OOC: this isn't a hold up, just a panicked offer. So no AOA.
OOC: unless I'm remembering incorrectly and you can do AOAs on those?
OOC: No you can't. But it also seems silly that you can't. I'd rule you can logically speaking, but it's up to you.
OOC: You are correct, you can only talk or break formation(refuse)
OOC: hmmm...AOAs work because they're all knocked down. Thisnguy ain't, so he ain't gonna go quietly. And its still his phase, so for now, gonna say no AOAs on Offers. Just until I can read through and implement the Negotiation System too.
==Majority Reject 3/4==

"W-Whaa..! Ggghhh! You stupid Punks!"

Sandman lashes out at Jackman with Garula! ...It hits, dealing Med Wind Damage!

==PARTY PHASE==
Wha---
You should have run when you had the chance. Now, take this

++Action++

Normal attack. Yay.
*Tatsuya pulls out his gun and fires*
Guilty. *Runs up and ends the Sandman with Judgement*
*Faux giggles and summons her persona*
++Action++
Zionga (med elec dmg)
Ooc: everyone went already...
OOC: It seems likely that they fell asleep, it is rather late for them after all. Oh well.
OOC: Take your time...
*Meme of take your time...*
OOC: Well, I'll also take my leave for the night, I'll be back soon enough
OOC: L8r Faux, hope to see you around again sometime.
OOC: I am so sorry about that guys. I passed out from exhaustion...long days at work lately and I'm on EST, making it about 3 am then. I have work today until 10pm, so if you'd like to continue exploration tonight, I can do that because I have tomorrow of thank goodness.
OOC: Don't worry. You should rest more.
Good luck!
OOC: Welp, if you guys got room for one more later, then I'd be happy to join. I'm able to be active tonight.
OCC: I want to join too...
OOC: well it's nice to have a schedule, thanks for telling us!
OOC: Mhm! I get off at 10...so should be home between 10:30 and 11p. Depends on how late they keep me hahaha. So try lookin for me around then.
==UPDATE!==

Jackman attack normally with...(what's his weapon?) A rock! ...it hits, dealing light damage!
Tatsuya fires his gun at Sandman cooly! ...It hits! The single slug drills its way through Sandman's head, hitting right between the eyes! At the same moments, Star swings in from the side, smashing its groin in with a massive hammer...it hits!, and Faux casts Zionga...hitting as well! Overkill X2! (Party obtains ¥800!)

==BATTLE END==

Loot: ¥1100!
Good job everyone, let's continue looking for the targets!
OOC: Welcome back, labrys
Good job. Let's move on.
OOC: Jackman uses an antique katana.

IC: Of course, what a fine idea young lady.
OOC: okay, so Tats is at work I'm told, and Gamma has to go in like 30. So if anyone wants to join, voice it OOC now plz
OOC: It is I, myself!
*looks at his phone*

Oh dear, it seems I have spent enough time here already. Well then, until next time young heroes. I am off.

*runs back the way the group came*
As Jackman leaves, the remainder of the party looks through the now cleared door. Ahead is the normal subway network of Mementos, though the actual tracks are blocked off, and only the underground station walking paths are open. Sitting on bench ahead, a young, strong young man can be seen sitting there with a sandwich...is that Klib..?
Hello Klib.
*Grumbling to himself.*

Too much mustard.

*Noticing the group.*

Aha! You've done well to make it this far mortals! AHAHAHAHA! Please take me with you...I've been alone here waiting for SO LONG!
Hm? You know him, star? Regardless, hello Kilb! It's nice to meet you
Heyo Star! And nice to meetcha, Not Star!
He has helped me before... *Texts Klib: I'm a mostly silent protagonist while in Mementos. Sorry if this causes any problems.*
Not star, good nickname! *Faux giggled* I am Faux, let's get along well, okay?
Fake Star would've been a clever name actually...hmm...anyway, nice to meet you Faux! I hope we get along well too!

*Smiles warmly.*
*Texts Star: At this point, I wouldn't question it....just make sure we know what you plan to do...m'kay?*
Let's move on.
Okay, Klib.
Agreed, but also watch out for our targets, star
So what's the plan you two?
Well, we're currently looking to defeat two specific shadows and give the things they drop to some girl we found a little ways back.
She had a funny accent too, I liked it.
Quest. Defeat cavalier and mage. Return helmet and staff for reward.
Ahead of the group are the security lanes, (where you swipe your pass, dunno what they're called) and beyond there is a wide open space. It stretches in both directions, with pillars dotted around the room.
Ohhhh! Fighting a wizard, neato!

*Walks past the security lane, swiping his subway pass.*

Let's get moving!
Indeed. *Faux follows Klib through the security lane*
*swipes pass and moves ahead* vanguard. Let's move.
Closed and abandoned shops line the whole area, and the screens on the pillars seem to display the Party members...to the left, arrows to the yellow line can be seen. To the right, the green line. In either direction, at the very very ends of the area, a burly red Shadow can be seen just standing there.
Pillars huh? Wouldn't it be funny if some shadows thought it'd be clever to try and ambush us? Shadows aren't that smart...ahahaha!

*Kalib begins heading deeper in.*
Hm, I can tell that these guys are gonna be strong... But both sides lead to a dead end... Do we need to defeat one to move on, maybe?
OOC: careful, last time Jackman said that my dice decided to hate him on ambush chance.
Left to right. Let us fight the left.
*Kalib cracks his knuckles.*

Leonidas, hook me up with a spear!

*The Spartan materializes and hands Kalib a spear before fading.*

Alrighty! Let's do it!
*Faux pulls out a rapier and looks to the rest of the party* We can win this for sure!
*still holding Judgement* left path?
Left path!
Well, we really have no way to tell whichever is right... so sure
==Left or Right?==

>Left
>Right
==Majority 3/3==

>Left

==Attempt Stealth?==

>Yes
>No
>Sure

OOC: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!
The room is filled with Pillars...even standing in the open as they are now, the Shadows can't seem to see then at this distance. Using the pillars as cover, the party moves towards the left side of the room, towards the the yellow line entrance.

Klib...Succeeds his Stealth!
Star...Succeeds her Stealth!
Faux...Succeeds her Stealth!

The party deftly stack hides behind the pillars, peaking out slightly Scooby gang style, before nimbly lunging and rolling behind the next pillar and the next. They now find themselves ducked behind a JJJ newsstand and vending machine...

==Engage With Surprise Attack?==

>Yes
>No
Engage.
==Surprise Attack!!==

The party lunches out, barreling into the Red Shadow, making it jump in fright and explode! Out bursts 5 Nekomatas!

OOC: High probability of fleeing also, www.ggez.space/ailments/ this might have info...not sure, is blocked at work lol
OOC: Star you can suggest an action, I will roll to see if you seize up due to Fear though
Ooc: randomly drains sp and may randomly make you does battle.
==Update!==
Ooc: Megidolaon.
OOC: Quick question, I'm assuming baton passes aren't a thing?
OOC: Never actually participated in one of these....so I'm also curious
*drunkenly walks in*

IT'S ON! Anyones knowzs it I...

*falls over and sleep*
Klib grips his spear tight and summons the power of the 300 with Leonidas, causing a rain of spears on the Nekomata herd!

Nekomata A...hit x3 light Physical!
Nekomata B...hit x1 light Physical!
Nekomata C...hit x4 light Physical!
Nekomata D...hit x2 light Physical!
Nekomata E...Missed!

Eye glowing with anger Faux stands and shouts out, summoning a rain of lightning, casting Mazionga on the Nekomatas!

Nekomata A...hit for Med Elec!
Nekomata B...hit for Med Elec!
Nekomata C...hit for Med Elec!
Nekomata D...hit for Med Elec!
Nekomata E...hit for Med Elec!
!Nekomata is Weak, One More for Faux!

Star attempts to cast Megadolean! ...But she stiffens with fear as the Nekomata all bare their fangs at her!

==Faux One More!==
OOC: Baton Passes aren't a thing yet. I'm working on a system. Like if there is an extra large party, you could baton pass out to another party member not yet in the fight. Basically mixing Baton Pass and Change Out. But thats just an idea.
There we go!
++Action++
Dia on myself
(Light healing)
OOC: sounds like a good plan
OOC: I rather like that version of it.
Ooc: neat idea.
==Update!==
Faux heals themselves using Dia, helping to relax some of the physical strain on themselves.

==Enemy Phase==

The Nekomatas all clamber to their feet, looking extremely battered and pissed as all get out!

Nekomata A casts Magaru!

Klib...is hit for light Wind!
Star...is hit for light Wind!
Faux...is missed!

Nekomata B casts Magaru!

Klib...is missed!
Star...is missed!
Faux...is hit for light Wind!
!Faux is Weak, One More!
Nekomata B casts Evil Touch on Faux! ...it misses!

Nekomata C attacks Star normally! ...it hits for light Physical!

Nekomata D attacks Klib normally! ...it hits for light Physical!

Nekomata E attacks Klib with Terror Claw! ...it hits for light Physical! ...the Fear Chance fails!

==Party Phase==
M-M-MEGIDOLAON! *Attempts to fuck their shit up*
Time to turn up the heat! We got 'em where we want 'em!

++ACTION++

Leonidas! Broil 'em! MARAGIDYNE!!

(Heavy fire to all.)
*Faux looked at Kline and then to the nekomatas, trying to decide what to do*
++Action++
I can't risk it! Dia!
*Faux uses dia on klib*
OOC: Auto correct kept changing dia to die... Wow.
OOC: Die! DIe! DIE!
OOC: That would've been problematic...lol
==Update!==
Star straightens up, and despite the shake in her voice, raises her hand to the sky and Casts Megidoleon!

...It hits all targets for severe Almighty damage!

Almost simultaneously, Klib grins an evil grin, a summons a massive tidal wave of flame with Maragidyne! It slams into all of the targets, adding insult to injury as Faux heals him for a slight amount! Overkill x1! (Party obtains ¥900!)

The Nekomata all howl in pain as their flesh is seared from the bone, and all that remains is a slight smoking black ooze.

==Battle End!==

Loot: ¥1500! Medicine x2!
Nice job, everyone! But I wonder, is the shadow down the other path the ones we are hunting, star?
*Dusts himself off.*

Ehehe! Bit gruesome, but oh well...

*He spins his spear around before holstering it on his back.*
Let's move on to the next target. We should try the right path now...
==Travel to the right?==

>Yes
>No

==Use Stealth?==

>Yes
>No
Thanks for the heal by the way Faux! *Flashes a quick smile.*

Alright, let's show this next group what's up! Hehe!

*A dark grin can be seen on Kalib's face.*
It was nothing, I just didn't want to see anyone fall today...
Yes yes.
The party makes their way to the other side of the room stealthily...or at least trying to.

Klib...barely fails his Stealth!
Star...succeeds her Stealth!
Faux...succeeds her Stealth!

The Party attempts a similar tactic as last time, though it would appear that after the last battle, Klib's shoe has come untied! In an attempt to roll, it flies off and clatters across the floors! The Shadow hasn't noticed you directly, though it gets incredibly close to your position to investigate the shoe.

It is close enough for a sneak attack...it'd be a gamble, but its possible...

==Attempt Sneak Attack?==

>Yes
>No
*Grumbles...*

I knew I should've worn velcro...

>Yes
Engage the enemy.
*Whispers* Well, majority has been reached...
>Yes
The Shadow bends over and sniffs at the shoe, picking up on a trail, slowly turning to the Party...but its too late! They're right on top of him!!

The Party drops in unannounced, taking the Shadow by surprise, gaining the advantage! It explodes into a lone Mothman!

==Party Phase==
Gotcha!
++Action++
Zionga
(med elec damage)
Guilty! Megaton Raid! *Summons Shadow-sona to fuck his shit up with a frying pan. Severe phys damage, -16% health*
M-mothman...why did it have to be Mothman!? I'M SO SORRY SAVIOR!

++ACTION++

*Kalib pulls out his bolt-action rifle.*

Forgive me!

*Kalib fires his gun at Mothman.*

(Light damage...?)
==Update!==
Faux strikes a pose, like a volleyball player ready to serve, and casts Zionga on Mothman! ...it hits, though deals no damage to Mothman!
Star summons her more Culinary Wise Self, attacking Mothman with a sunny side up Megaton Raid! ...it hits, dealing severe Physical damage!
Klib, tears streaming down his face like a rejected Kouhai, attempts to blast Mothman away with his gun! ...it hits, dealing Moderate (not light, but not quite medium) Piercing Damage!
!Mothman is Weak, One More Klib!

==One More Klib!==
Gomen...Mothman...

++ACTION++

Leo...Brave Blade.

*Kalib looks away, tears staining his cheeks as the spartan emerges.*

(Heavy I think? God I'm bad at this....)
Ooc: collosal.
Ooc: actually severe gods hand is colossal? Idk
Ooc: both are collosal.
Ooc: oh my bad
Klib points his finger menacingly, Leonidas rushing forward with a Brave Blade! ...it hits, dealing Ludicrous Physical damage as it Crits!

The Party rushes forward and surrounds Mothman, weapons drawn.

"Geh..."

==Action?==

>Show me the Money
>I want an Item
>All Out Attack!
I've been waiting for this. *A murderous glint shines in his eyes.*

>AoA
Engage! Full power!
I think we should get an item from him. He may have something useful!
>I want an item!
OOC: oh ok
OOC: Next one we can get an item from, cause I doubt my character had anything but a sandwich when he got here.
OOC: Star is that an AOA request?
OOC: I'm using majority rules for stuff like this, since party leaders aren't really a thing. So depending on Star's answer, sorry Faux
OOC: Eh, I'm not complaining ^^. I just thought that was extremely quick
Ooc: Aoa.
OOC: who says it dies? AOAs dont always kill ;)
You do make a point though Faux. We had the guy at gun point. We could've spoke about it beforehand
OOC: that was supposed to be OOC...god dammit me...
OOC: No I meant it as everyone decided quickly. Didn't even think of that
The team does sweet flips bro and rush at Mothman from all angles, like a pinball in a pinball machine. The Party lands, and Mothman takes collosal damage from the attack, staggering in place, clearly weakened.

==Enemy Phase==

Mothman flutters and wobbles angrily, casting Mazionga on the Party!

Klib...is hit for Med Elec!
Star...is hit for Med Elec!
Faux...is hit for Med Elec!

OOC: Any reflects or resists or Absorbs?
OOC: Nope.
Ooc: nope. Strong to ice due to hoodie, but that's it.
Hey! That's my skill!
++Action++
*Faux takes out her revolver and shoots a single round at mothman*
(Her gun really isn't the best so it would probably be minuscule)
The end. *Kalib snaps his fingers.*

++ACTION++

Inferno.

(Severe fire damage.)
Ooc: Oh, no
RPG, BITCH! *Shoots him with an RPG*
==Update!==
Oh no.

Faux spins the gun on her finger stylishly and fires! It nails Mothman in the knee, causing more damage than expected!
!Mothman is Weak, One More Faux!

Klib grins like the devil and explodes the area surrounding the Shadow with Inferno! It hits, leaving a small crater and dealing Severe Fire damage!

Simultaneously, Star fire a rocket into its face with a massive explosion, knocking it upside down, feet's frantically waving in the air!

==One More Faux!==
OOC: T H I C C M O T H M A N
It's still alive...?
++Action++
*Faux unloads 6 more bullets, hoping to finish it off*
OOC: Maybe this is where I think baton passes would go?
Faux unloads even more bullets into it, blowing chunks of Mothman away with each shot, until one final headshot seals the deal! Overkill x3! (Party Obtains ¥1300)!

==Battle Over!==

Loot: ¥1200, GohoM x1
Alright. Let's move on to the next target.
OOC: Maybe. But here I'm testing the concept of Overkills. Introducing non P5 elements into an attempt at mostly replicating the P5 feel. But yes. I'd use Baton Pass Changes for large parties, but also in party Baton Passes for Once Mores
That one was quite resistant... Good job, guys
OOC: I think I'll make it more clear when the Overkill starts. It started with Klib here, because he dealt more damage than Mothman had health left. So that was x1. Once Star hit that was x2. Your bullets were x3
Yosh! Way to go team! *He looks around for the next vic-I mean shadow.*
As the party defeats this shadow, the grates on all the shops open up, and silhouette of people begin walking in from the track platform, the yellow and green lines, and the above ground access. You notice that a line has formed at the Big Bang Burger, and people are entering with huge sums of money. They exit empty handed and beat up...
