WEEK 1

[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.

...Right?

In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?


Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.


There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[ FROM OVER WHERE HE'D WANDERED OFF TO, HE'S STILL STARING A BIT OVER SUDDENLY SCREEN WHEN SHE SAYS HIS NAME. ]

I thought you said you were new at this.

[ His tone is very clearly teasing, of course. ]

Nice work!

[ With a smile, he nods and skims the room! He didn't see anything in the area he'd wound up in, so... is there anything eye-catching? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, one of the cushions on one of the couches seems to be put in backwards for some reason.

Care to check it out?]

[beguiledcard]

[ Yep.

That's enough to have him walking over to tug it free, with the initial intention of righting it! ]

[strangerpeople]

[A broken VHS tape pops up from beneath the mattress at this.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Welp, looks like somebody wasn't happy with their movie selection.

He'll set the cushion down to pick the tape up and look at it more closely. What have we got here? ]

[strangerpeople]

[A VHS tape with the title sticker scribbled out with an almost vicious amount of black marker. Also, parts of the flap are completely broken off - probably from being sat on - and it looks like someone might have even used something like scissors or pliers to rip part of the film reel itself out.

Someone really wasn't happy with the movie selection.]

[beguiledcard]

Guess they... really hated this movie.

[ He's going to set this tape down on top of the cushion that wasn't switched around, for now. Anything else down there? ]

Cw: gross food

[strangerpeople]

[A half-eaten....this.

Eeeew.]

[beguiledcard]

[ He has regrets.

... Yeah, just gonna pick up whatever section isn't a food horror, and then... take that right on over to the nearest trashcan, thanks.

Begone, demon. ]

[strangerpeople]

[Welp. It's trash. Its very sad.

However, it's corn smut, and not fully sentient, so it can't express its sadness.]

[earietale]

And I thought you were more experienced with it.

[Teasing as well, because why not.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Snorting softly. ]

In all fairness, I'm more thief than detective.

[earietale]

Really?

[A bit of disbelief there, cause you don't exactly act like a thief, dude.]

[beguiledcard]

[ The best thieves don't make it obvious that they're thieves, by day. That's how you'd get caught! Which... doesn't even matter at this point, hence him being very nonchalant over it all. ]

Believe it, or not, yeah. I was the leader of a group called the Phantom Thieves. [ a semi-distant smile ] We fought to fix a corrupt society.

[earietale]

Wow. Nice.

[She did not expect to meet a revolutionary in this place.]

Corrupt how? Was the mayor being more like a dictator or something?

P5 endgame spoiler warnings

[beguiledcard]

[ He's twisting a strand of his bangs for a moment. ]

Something like that. He thought, at the time, he was everything Japan could ever need. He saw himself as the only one capable of guiding it to glory.

[ There's something bitter ghosting over his expression now. ]

In the end, he was likely being influenced by the same false god that influenced everything else that happened, back then.

[earietale]

[Wow. She was kind of joking with that suggestion.]

Well, did you at least defeat the guy? Keep Japan from going crazy?

[beguiledcard]

[ Sorry for how intense his world is - it even exhausts him sometimes, and he was born into that year. ]

Yeah, we did. Him and the false god both.

[earietale]

[Stop. Back up there, my dude.]

Wait. You...you defeated a God?

[beguiledcard]

Not just me.

[ No hesitation, whatsoever. ]

My friends and I had to fight with everything in us, and then some, but... yeah. We managed to take him down for the sake of the world.

[earietale]

That's...still incredible if all your friends are human too.

[Sorry, she doesn't understand the Power Of Friendship(TM)]

[beguiledcard]

[ He gives a sheepish chuckle. ]

Actually, it's just that we were given powers that most... typical humans don't have.

[earietale]

It's still pretty impressive, I think. I mean, aren't God's supposed to be all powerful and unbeatable? To beat one should be impossible, so it's pretty cool that all of you were able to do that.

[Take the compliment, Akira.]

[beguiledcard]

[ That gets a small smile out of him, one hand pressing to the back of his neck. ]

... Yeah. [ something fond, yet a bit homesick, entering his gaze ] We did do something pretty cool...

[earietale]

[Compliment: Received! Now sending: Extra Praise...]

It makes me feel a bit better, knowing that you're here to help us. We'd probably be a lot more lost without you.
