you're not the only team with a drawfag

CAPTAIN IT'S TIME TO SHOW THESE BASIL LEAFS WHAT'S UP

@HereComesTheSnow

Okay.

What should I draw? My schedule for drawing's pretty clear.

Persona - The True Self

Masahide's Persona is completed.

Hider

Also the only characters who don't have Personas drawn by me yet are... Gen Itoshi, @Fedested's character, and Jun Himura, @Reaper's character. If you two want me to, send a PM, the sooner the better, because I can very immediately start working on Ultimates as soon as everyone's initial Personas are drawn, and seriously... The sooner the better, it means I'll have more time to do it.

As well as Kami and our bird mascot character, but that'll be fixed soon enough.

With that settled, he took a moment to relax as he listened to Akane speak with her shadow. Yet another aspect of a person he knew that he didn't know... Well, some of the people they rescued before he didn't know, but he began to think... Does everyone have something like this within them? He put his sword away and readied himself, any moment now she was going to collapse from exhaustion like everyone before, and then there it was. Rui was easily in position to catch her from falling. He turned to everyone else.

"Alright, we should head back", he ordered. Everyone agreed and headed back the way they came.

"Good work, good work... I must say, impressive work", Kazuki seemed pleased, although... Well, the way he was about it didn't seem to be all that sincere. He wasn't sure why.

"W-well, we should take her to the hospital, Akane that is... We'll talk another time, I don't think there's anything particularly pressing at the moment",

"Yeah, I haven't turned up anything good in my investigation yet, so there's not much to do just yet...", with this agreed, everyone headed home after they admitted Akane to the hospital. Looks like they just had to keep doing their thing for now, what with no new leads after today. They might ask Akane if she had anything to say though, but so far the people they've rescued haven't exactly given the most helpful information...

Persona - The True Self

I think by the time everyone is back from school and other life related things towards the end of the year, we'll be ready to do the triple incidents, and if we go by that, we can finish this RP mid way through its third year.

Jack Orpheus | Cafeteria

It would take Jack some time to check his phone as he ate, but as soon as he had his fill he was already walking outside to do whatever else until his next class began, which seemed to be Grimm Studies. It was that or Armoury, normally he would have chosen Armoury, but he instead opt for Grimm Studies. It would do him better if he knew weak points and it was also useful for scouting. In any case, he noticed his phone had a notification from almost 10 minutes ago.

"Next class huh...?", a simple question.

>I've got Grimm Studies next.

Theme: I Will Face Myself

With Rui at the head the party charged and took up standard formation. Unlike enemies before, this shadow didn't seem to project any kind of weakness or niche. Though soon he would realize that playing passively early was a mistake. With a sinister laugh the shadow blasted the entire field in a wave of dark energy, and with its float arms would immediately aim for Leiko amidst the chaos. Rui couldn't act quickly enough and she was captured, but now he knew the arms were separable. He made a signal to open fire, and Chiaki and Matthew blasted the shadow with everything they had, while Rui using Sukukaja moved to the side where Leiko was captured, and struck the energy that seeped between the arm and main body. This seemed to be successful in partially disarming the mage, but it didn't seem to do any damage. On the other hand Leiko was now free.

After yet another wave of magic, word came in from Megumi.

"It seems to exert power from every pore of its body, and when its not attacking it uses that energy as a thinly coated shield. It should be vulnerable when it attacks",

"When it attacks...", this was going to be difficult, considering it blasted energy all over the place. He looked at the party, only Matthew seemed to be faring okay... Well, these were fire moves after all... Wait.

"Matthew, use Agi in a fireball when it attacks again", he ordered. After a few claw attacks, Rui managing to shrug the brunt of it away from the party with the help of Leiko's healing, the big wave sure enough was on its way. On signal, Matthew fired a fireball styled Agi, and using it as cover, Rui charged.

The Agi was destroyed rather quickly, but what it did was open a small spot for Rui to move through. With the help of Sukukaja, he was able to close the distance fast enough, and just before the shadow could bring its shield back, its heart was struck. A clear crack appeared in the armor as Rui slashed through, and dark energy seeped out from within the shadow. As soon as he landed... The shriek of agony began to become almost joyful laughter as he turned. The energy seepeing from the shadow's chest was forming into a gigantic ball of energy, and it was rapidly increasing in size, it was like looking at a miniature black-red sun.

"No! Get out of there! You can't survive that!", but in this room, there was nowhere to run... There was only one thing to do... Rui slipped his sword back into its sheath, and took a stance. As readily as he did, his Persona also appeared behind him in stance. The shadow let loose its ball of energy, hurtling slowly towards Rui.

"Akane, we all make mistakes, its natural. To realize you made that mistake means to grow as a person, but you can't grow as long as you let it bother you. Shed the person you are today, and become a person who learned through those experiences tomorrow", he directed the comment at Akane herself, but now he no longer had time to keep talking. It was time.

He couldn't go for the shadow directly, he'd get struck by the ball before he could close the distance, and going for the ball of energy was madness, but at the very least, it was aimed only at him as he stood behind the shadow who turned to him, while the party was on the other side, while the blast would still hit them, they weren't going to get downed unless it was aimed at them directly... So he slid under it.

As the ball of energy landed, and the explosion began to expand, Rui with his Persona was already behind the shadow, and a single horizontal slash dealt a fatal blow, but even then they had to contend with the blast. As soon as the blast cleared, the shadow while damaged, had its shield again, likely absorbing some of the energy from the earlier attack, but it was far slower than before.

A barrage of attacks both magical and physical rained upon the shadow, and soon enough the shadow crumpled to the floor, and transformed back into its more familiar form as Akane.

Persona - The True Self

The TGS Persona 5 trailer for those of you who have yet to see it.

Persona - The True Self

Good news everyone.

We're getting a mascot character in our Sun Arcana, and no one has to die/leave/disappear except Acer (dude's been gone for a full month).

We're still at full capacity.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Sho Minazuki, are you still working on those shops? I'm thinking for this city outing Gren is going to try for, he's going to take everyone to these shops you've made up. Give everyone at least the chance to buy vanity items and such. I'm going to need names and such, and if you had some ideas I'd gladly work with them for you.

Also everyone I still want to know what you'd want to do on this party. In all seriousness we can visit a cafe, and if so, what would be the "Ideal" cafe for you? Darts obviously, but what else? Also I'm trying my best to limit the fighting and underage drinking. I know we're battle-harden warriors and all, but I'm also trying to get us to do "Normal" things.

@Lucius Cypher

You mean names for the shops? Right I never thought about the shop names... We'll start with just listing the kinds of shops, so based on merch there...

Vehicle store, geek goods store with figurines and comics, board games store, and... What else...

As the scene before them transpired, Rui listened on... It was beginning to become common-place for him to hear the innermost darkness of people's hearts now, he didn't want to get used to that feeling. As the dialogue came to an end, Akane began to keel over in despair as the shadowy version of her began to take a new form. Rui with the party stepped forward and in front to defend her as her shadow took a new monstrous form, reminiscent of a dark lord.

"Of course... A hero's greatest fear is to become the villain themselves...", he muttered. This shadow, looked far less twisted than the ones they fought before, but it appeared stronger too.

"Megumi, start a scan", he ordered.

"R-r-right!", the shadow began to laugh a sinister tune, a familiar one too. This was most certainly the master of this dungeon.
