Agi has connected.
Agi:
fastest level up in the west
Phatthrice:
lewd
Ci Tsukino has connected.
Phatthrice:
Ah it's that one

Kaori:
Took a bit longer than expected

Kaori:
Had to like, talk and stuff
Phatthrice:
Aight, you around agi

Kaori:
Any suggestions for a feat?
Phatthrice:
Uhhh depends
Phatthrice:
Do you want more BLASST...., more support, or more heal
Phatthrice:
Shielding Word Heroic Tier Prerequisite: Cleric, healing word Benefit: Targets of your healing word class feature also gain a +2 bonus to all defenses until the start of your next turn.
Phatthrice:
That seems real good for support
Phatthrice:
Healer's Implement Heroic Tier Prerequisite: Cleric Benefit: When you let a creature spend a healing surge to regain hit points with any of your cleric healing powers, add your holy symbol's enhancement bonus to the hit points the recipient regains.
Phatthrice:
That's good for HEEL.....
Agi:
oh he here

Kaori:
That's aight for heals

Kaori:
Nto so much right now

Kaori:
I think the first one might be better.

Kaori:
At least at the moment
Phatthrice:
Distant Advantage Heroic Tier Benefit: You gain combat advantage for ranged or area attacks against any enemy flanked by your allies.
Phatthrice:
Coordinated Explosion Heroic Tier Benefit: When you use any implement power that creates a burst or a blast, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against the power's targets if at least one ally is within the burst or the blast.
Phatthrice:
those are both good for BLASST....
Agi:
Designation: Blassty

Kaori:
2

Kaori:
Combat advantage it is
Phatthrice:
distant advantage is good yeah
Phatthrice:
Esp since Danjuro is a fairly sticky melee fighter
Kaori: (( Got my 5 HP...what else do I need? ))
Agi:
+1 in dos stattos

Kaori:
okies
Phatthrice:
Yeah, you get +1 in two stats

Kaori:
Done with that
Phatthrice:
And remember to modify any attack rolls that add half your level
Phatthrice:
since that uh went the upways

Kaori:
I should be good

Kaori:
Most of my attack rolls don't seem to change until like level 11 lmao
Ci Tsukino is disconnected.

Danjuro:
0
Ci Tsukino has connected.
Phatthrice:
Also - your attack rolls just progress naturally(attack rolls, not damage rolls)
Phatthrice:
As part of their bonus is half your level
Phatthrice:
rounded down
Phatthrice:
So at level 4 you add +2 onto whatever other bonuses(modifier, implement, etc) you have
Ci Tsukino:
Gotchu
Phatthrice:
It also applies to skill rolls and some other things
Phatthrice:
like initiative
Phatthrice:
Which I uh don't know if y'all've'st'd been doing

Kaori:
Honestly it wouldn't have helped me at all

Danjuro:
I had no idea init was in there
Phatthrice:
ANYWHO
Phatthrice:
You've rowed up to a dreary, rain-soaked island after your bout with the merchant king, which ended in the capsizing of Sita's vessel... She doesn't seem that upset about it all, though! She's trying to look on the bright side, even. She blows her centi-hair so that it wriggles out of her eyeline and begins to drag the merchandise she salvaged from the ship onto shore. After a short struggle, she asks for some help, and you manage to get everything off the lifeboat. Luckily,she's managed to keep the tents and important supplies dry.

Sita:
Sita wrings out some water from her dress, only for it to get rained on again immediately, "Oh, don't look so down. We've got enough wet blankets as it is! ...no? Well, I thought it was good. Oh well. Help me set up camp! Don't want to stand out in the rain any more than I've got to."
Danjuro: (( Looking at the list of skills, trying to find the Survival equivalent... ))

Sita:
It's Nature

Kaori:
Kaori sighs heavily, "Set up camp...? I just want to go home..." She sniffles, trying to stay out of direct contact with the rain.

Danjuro:
"We'll get there, it's just... going to be a bit longer than we hoped."

Danjuro:
"Let's find a good clearing, I'll start putting some of those tents together. What all are we looking at for supplies?"

Sita:
"Sorry 'bout it. I didn't think they'd come after us that quick."

Sita:
"If we can get to somewhere high, maybe I can figure out where we are, but it's gonna be dark soon. Do you wanna risk it at night, in this weather?"

Danjuro:
"It's not going to help us tonight any more than tomorrow. We can talk about it once we're set up..."

Stella:
"Weeell...I can go on! But you guys look a little rough..."

Danjuro:
anyway I do NOT have Nature and it is a Wis skill but here's my best go at it 15

Kaori:
17

Stella:
What was the roll for? Just setting up the tents...? Or something else

Stella:
You don't really need to roll just to set the tents up lol

Danjuro:
finding a decent spot rly

Stella:
Are you trying to get your bearings/positioning?

Danjuro:
I'm not worrying over where the hell we are exactly yet

Danjuro:
esp since we know nothing about the geography anyway?

Danjuro:
The girls would have a better insight on that

Stella:
You find a pretty nice clearing near a pretty pond - and it doesn't SEEM to have any asshole mermaids in it, this time. It's nice and clean, too - the constant rain here must keep even stationary water clear

Danjuro:
oh good it's a magical perpetually raining biome

Sita:
"Hey, good job! So, did you guys bring a tent? I only found two in the supplies. We can share, of course, but three girls to one is..."

Sita:
"Well, it'd be a little cramped."

Danjuro:
"Oh, dang, now that you mention it, I really should have thought to stuff a portable tent into my camera bag."

Danjuro:
"Man, I don't even have a toothbrush..."

Sita:
"Uh, well...Let's just get them set up, first. We can decide the specifics later. Then, we should plan out where we're going tomorrow! I'd like to get another ship, but...That might be difficult here."

Kaori:
"Wherever here is..."

Kaori:
Doesn't that kinda look like a face

Danjuro:
>(

Sita:
"Yeeaahh... Well I'm sure there's gotta be Shadows here somewhere! We can ask them."

Sita:
"Once we find them..."
Kaori: (( We got like an extra blanket we can use as a divider? ))

Sita:
Yeah, you can scrounge one up

Danjuro:
the blanket holds three (3) gallons of water

Sita:
It's not that cold here, so you can get by on light blankets anyway

Sita:
It is kind of windy, though, but hey - the blanket can act as a shield for that

Kaori:
"If we have an extra blanket we can set it up as a divider between the tent...you have to promise no peeking though!" She preemptively scolds Dandan.

Sita:
bold move, not warning me

Danjuro:
"I'm not planning on doing any peeking! Sheesh..."

Stella:
Stella pumps her fist, then pulls her hat down to shield her face from the rain, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get you guys outta here tomorrow!"

Kaori:
"I hope so..."
Kaori: (( Oh hey, I actually have rations btw ))
Stella: (( nice! There's a bit of food fro mthe supplies to augment them, too, s oyou're not stuck eating just granola bars ))

Danjuro:
"If it worries you that much, just sleep with Sita. Maybe she'll count that as a date."

Kaori:
Kaori gets in the tent and goes behind the makeshift blanket, "Idiot..." she grumbles under her breath.

Kaori:
*blanket wall

Danjuro:
Was there any scouting work what could be done tonight

Danjuro:
after the base is set up ofc

Sita:
"Ahaha! Don't worry about me, I can take a hint. I won't bother you none, Kaori!"

Kaori:
Kaori sniffles inside the tent.

Sita:
Yeah, for sure, you can do some scouting

Danjuro:
aight

Danjuro:
I'm v much not looking for a fight - hell, I'm going to leave my armor behind

Danjuro:
shit's probably noisy

Danjuro:
BUT, Dandan's going to invite Stella to come along as an eye in the sky to see what the local surroundings are like, leaving Sita behind as a hopefully competent bodyguard for Kaori

Sita:
It certainly is

Sita:
of course

Sita:
stick REAL close to me kaori you never know what could be out there

Sita:
it could even be a boat!

Stella:
Stella agrees to come along, happy to be of some use. She feels kinda bad that she couldn't do anything when the ship got attacked
Danjuro: (( before we do this tho I imagine Healing Surges?? ))
Danjuro: (( They refresh on a long rest IIRC but we don't GET long rests in the Shadowverse ))
Danjuro: (( spending two, are we ruling that HP from leveling up is added to your current HP ))

Stella:
Yes we use GBA fire emblem rules

Danjuro:
"I bet you were busy just keeping us upright. We were kind of boned going into that, not having cannons and all."
Danjuro: (( Stealth and... perception? I guess? Sneaking around and trying to find anything of use ))

Stella:
"Eheh...well, I don't know how to use 'em anyhow. Heck, I could barely steer that thing! I'm used to much smaller ships, Sita's crazy stealing a monster like that in the first place!"

Stella:
The perception here would jsut be passive

Stella:
What're you looking for specifically?
Danjuro: (( Sita had mentioned Shadows - to THEM they're friendly but to us uhhh mayb not ))
Danjuro: (( Just knowing about nearby threats or settlements to tackle tomorrow morning ))

Danjuro:
"Ha! There it is. Guess she would've had the 'Merchant King' or whoever after her anyway..."

Sita:
Sita taps on the tent, "Heeey, you still awake? I know it's hard on you, being stuck here so long, but keep your head up, okay? Got anything on your mind?"

Stella:
"Oh, yeah! I doubt they were really after you. And now they get to take out their insurance policy on the ship! They probably made bank off sinking that thing."

Kaori:
The young girl taps on her phone absent-mindedly, not exactly expecting anything to happen with it, just more to keep her mind preoccupied. "Hwhuh? Oh, nothing much...it's just...weird being here...being stuck here, that is. When we were in Maeda-senpai's cognitive space, it was weird but still kind of familiar...now I don't even know where we're supposed to be. Is this whole place that building? Is it the whole city? Are we even like...able to get back...our other friend, the one who's not here right now, he got stuck in here for weeks...I think my brother would die of worry if I was stuck in here for that long..."
Phatthrice:
Danny D., your scouting leads you quite a bit aways before anything stands out among the woods. You hear talking, but, muffled as it is by the rain, you can't make much out from a safe distance. You can try getting closer, or really strain to hear what you can
Danjuro: (( can I make out any number of distinct voices...? If not, the fallback would be to have Stella check in from above ))

Sita:
"Hmmm... Well, I don't go back and forth like Mamiyo does, but...I think it's all interconnected. You can go in one place, and come out another! Mamiyo takes advantage of that to sneak around places she's not supposed to be."
Danjuro: (( Hold up a number of fing- hmmm she don't have those ))

Sita:
There are two voices, seem to be idly conversing with each other
Danjuro: (( aight, I've got something ))

Danjuro:
Dan... is anxious to assess the threat level here, and figures he'll cause a bit of a startle, see how they react
Danjuro: (( I'll pick up a rock/stick or something and give it a good hurl off to the side of em ))
Kaori: (( And then rolls a Nat 1 and hits them dead on ))

Sita:
"As long as we can find a way out, we can get you back to your world!"

Sita:
You hear a thunk as she sits down, and her voice takes on a playful ring, "Sooo, this friend of yours... Are you sure he's JUST a friend, hmmm?"
Danjuro: (( Attack roll with the Bracers? ))
Danjuro: (( or Gloves, rather ))

Sita:
En'Go for it

Danjuro:
10
Danjuro: (( not QUITE a Nat 1... ))
Danjuro: (( Still hits a wall! ))

Kaori:
"Ehhhhhh?! What do you mean by that?!" she asks, nearly fumbling her phone.
Phatthrice:
One of the voices, a tomboyish girl, stops abruptly in the middle of her sentence, "Hey, Frigi, you hear that?! Come on out, coward! Face me like a real warrior!!" A long sigh from the other, more girlish voice, is followed by her interjection, "You can't keep trying to fistfight every squirrel that runs by, Drace. Do you really think you could live with the shame if one were to take you up on the offer?" The other voice fires back, "Hey, what're you implying?! There's a REASON (peesan???) sent ME here, you know!!"

Sita:
"Haha! Come on, you're at that age! You're CLEARLY not interested in me, and the beefcake doesn't seem your type, either - and I get that - but there's got to be someone..."

Kaori:
Kaori puffs up her cheeks, "I mean, I guess he's kiiiiinda cute...but he's totally oblivious; like a total scatterbrain...!"
Danjuro: (( damn we landed smack dab in the middle of monster girl island ))

Danjuro:
Well, there's at least ONE voice of reason in there...

Danjuro:
I guess I'll engage

Sita:
"Haha..I've dealt with my fair share of 'oblivious' ones... Just be a little more forward"

Sita:
!*

Stella:
Stella whispers in your ear, "H-hey, are you sure you wanna do this?? What if they're, like, guards!"

Danjuro:
"Think we should circle around a bit more, see what they'd be guarding...?"

Sita:
"Oh, it doesn't need to be that one, of course. But I find that hiding these feelings rarely works out!"

Stella:
"Good idea! I don't think I can take off from here without raising suspicion, though..."

Danjuro:
"Just stay close."
Danjuro: (( Usually things don't happen until we make contact with the enemy this is strenj ))
Danjuro: (( Not sure if we've EVER stealthed before ))
Kaori: (( Not since I actually played a ninja. ))
Phatthrice:
So your intention is to rout around them, but hang close - and try to figure out what it is they're guarding? They seem to be MOVING, rather than staying still, searching for something

Danjuro:
well they should stop that
Danjuro: (( are they on a path then? ))
Phatthrice:
No, though they do cross one at one point, which causes the tomboy to complain that they've already BEEN here
Phatthrice:
for the other one to explain how paths work

Danjuro:
"They seem to be just as lost as we are. What could it hurt?"
Phatthrice:
Stella agrees to let you take out their eyes with a rockstick

Danjuro:
Danjuro sheathes his weapon, but keeps it handy. "Hey! Someone out there?"
Phatthrice:
You hear a "HAH!" from the tomboy, followed by a sigh, and then "I TOLD you those squirrels were up to something!!"
Phatthrice:
The other voice then demands you identify yourself
Phatthrice:
They come rushing toward you - a tall, muscular fighter and a tiny, winged woman with shifty eyes.

Danjuro:
"Just a couple of travelers, we ended up stuck here... wherever 'here' is... you two are the first sign of life we've seen."

Danjuro:
"Call me Dan."

Dragirl:
"HMM...well you definitely ain't s'posed to be here..."

Owldol:
The owldol glares at the two of you, "How, exactly, did you 'end up' here?"
Kaori: (( DON'T FUCK THE OWL ))
Danjuro: (( don't TELL ME what to DO ))
Kaori: (( I'm specifically telling you what *not* to do. ))
Kaori: (( Also Draco Centauros is best Puyo ))
Owldol: (( that we agree on ))

Danjuro:
"Funny story, really..."

Owldol:
"I'm sure it's hilarious, but I'm going to have to ask you to explain this joke."

Sita:
"Hey, did your friend tell you how long he was pllanning to be gone? Getting a little worried about Stella."

Sita:
"Well, she's good with directions, so she won't get lost, but..."

Kaori:
"Ehh? He didn't say..I didn't think he'd go too far though...he was pretty banged up..."

Danjuro:
"I'm not so sure you'd like the answer all of a sudden."

Danjuro:
"Sheesh, the two of you are intense."

Sita:
"Yeah, you're right. Haha, sorry! I just worry sometimes, you know?

Sita:
":

Kaori:
"Bluhhh, I have like no concept of time in here anyway, to be honest. I don't know how long it's even been with everything looking so weird and the atmosphere being so...heavy."

Dragirl:
"Well, yeah! We're on the lookout for thieves! Peesan wouldn't want us slacking off!"

Danjuro:
"On an island like this? Is there even anywhere nearby to steal from?"

Sita:
"Aww, don't let it get to you. You wouldn't want to end up like the red death, right? Always sulking, scaring everybody away! For good reason, mind you, but it's not a life I'd want to live."
Danjuro: (( Jason's gonna need me to pick him up ))
Danjuro: (( he just got out, shit musta sucked ))

Sita:
tell him to work somewhere uphill so he can just roll down next time

Dragirl:
"They didn't steal it from HERE, dumbass! There's barely even a port ON this island! What, you think they set sail from the fort?"

Danjuro:
ur taking a very hostile tone

Danjuro:
"Hey, I don't know anything about this place, alright? Just asking a question, sheesh."

Dragirl:
"Well, I'
Danjuro: (( I'm stuck in an arena game neither of us can end ))

Dragirl:
m just giving an answer!"

Owldol:
"Regardless, we don't have all the answers. If you'd like to know more, perhaps you could come with us and talk to the boss?"
Danjuro: (( this seems like a TERRIBLE idea ))
Danjuro: (( but, I just remembered my Ritual that I haven't used once ))
Danjuro: (( gotta go grab Jason tho ))
Danjuro: (( uhh was MT's end that stalled? What was habbeding over there ))

Danjuro:
"Sure, I'll bite. Thanks."
Kaori: (( Oh, was agi back ))
Danjuro: (( as of just now ))

Owldol:
So what was your ritual idea

Owldol:
shadow shuriken jutsu?
Danjuro: (( It was the curtain thing ))
Danjuro: (( wherever that was ))

Danjuro:
https://dnd4.fandom.com/wiki/Wizard%27s_Curtain

Owldol:
a

Owldol:
are you gonna 7 minutes in heaven the owl

Danjuro:
MT would never allow it so no

Owldol:
So what's your plan with the Official Marvel Superhero Safespace then

Danjuro:
you ever hear of a smokebomb

Owldol:
Fair enough

Owldol:
And yes all rituals that would be 10 minutes are 1 instead so it's certainly doable

Danjuro:
o-oh hm

Danjuro:
I thought it was going to be 1 round

Danjuro:
why would this take 10 minutes

Owldol:
because 4e hates rituals

Owldol:
But yeah, you can disguise what you're doing

Owldol:
might warrant a check though

Owldol:
Which wouldbe... uh

Owldol:
...arcana

Danjuro:
I'm not rly... DOING anything just yet

Danjuro:
The thing was going to be an expeditious retreat
Kaori: (( gdi brb ))

Danjuro:
it's ok nothing's happening rn

Danjuro:
Thrice and I are on completely different pages

Owldol:
sorry :pensive:
Kaori: (( Charlie let in eight million moths when he went outside. ))

Danjuro:
nice

Owldol:
Yeah I thought you were planning to run NOW

Danjuro:
no

Owldol:
Are you going WITH them then?

Danjuro:
that would be intelligent
Danjuro: (( I said "Sure, I'll bite. Thanks." not sure what else you want from me ))

Owldol:
Oh shit I missed that

Danjuro:
I ain't playing Tirkgame unless we use voice

Dragirl:
"Well hey, that was easy! Alright, follow me!" this is quickly rescinded by the owldol, who insists you follow HER

Danjuro:
I'll follow the owl I trust the dragon to not know the difference
Phatthrice:
They get back onto the path, which, while clear down below, is covered in overhanging canopy above, keeping it relatively dry from the rain. You follow it along for a short while, until you see smoke in the distance, and can smell food and hear the sound of a raucous dinner

Dragirl:
"Aw, MAN! They seriously started without us?!"

Danjuro:
"Ooh, what's on the menu tonight?"
Phatthrice:
YOU

Danjuro:
damb,,
Phatthrice:
They lead you to that aforementioned 'fort' Drace was talking about, full of people - one or two of which you recognize. Some seem to fit in very well, but there are two obvious outsiders, who look awkward at the table, as if wondering how they got here

Danjuro:
y'know

Danjuro:
I took my armor off.

Cannon Wheeler 2:
That might not have been the best idea

Danjuro:
Honestly? Means they won't recognize me immediately

Danjuro:
switching back to street clothes

Energetic Masked Man:
The two outsiders quietly sip their tea, pondering if the artstyle difference makes them stand out too much

Energetic Masked Man:
"Now, now - don't worry. I know they may be strangers, but I believe a trusting attitude toward others is necessary for a healthy life."

Shadow Tagalong:
The girl doesn't look fazed at all, "Uh....right... Look - you guys said you know a way out of here, right?? Well, I'd REALLY appreciate it if you'd fess up on that. I have places to be!"

Cannon Wheeler 2:
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes, yes, of course! Why, i--Oh! Look, more guests! What a wonderful excus--I mean, distracti-ah...occurrence!"

Cannon Wheeler 2:
"Drace, you came at the PERFECT time! Why don't you introduce the new recruits?"

Dragirl:
"Huhh?? Oh, sure, uh...wait, hang on, what ARE your names?"
Phatthrice:
You are still vaguely hidden by the shadows

Sita:
"Okay, seriously, it's been a WHILE..."

Sita:
"Maybe they DID get lost? Or wait - are THEY on a date? Those dastards..."

Danjuro:
Yeaaaah probably as it became clear what we were walking into, Dandan would hold an arm in front of Stella and start... mumbling persona things, trying to remember what Kaori was saying

Danjuro:
Mostly getting it wrong but the spirit is there

Danjuro:
Quietly, the curtains fall down around them, and he pulls her back down the path
Danjuro: (( that proobably falls under the purview of the arcana check you'd mentioned tho ))

Sita:
You don't need a check to DO the ritual, just to hide it

Stella:
"Ohhhh boy..."

Danjuro:
yea definitely hiding it. fkn

Danjuro:
trying to at least

Danjuro:
10 no int mod big money

Danjuro:
average money at best

Owldol:
Yo

Owldol:
d'ya know what Owls are known for

Owldol:
being cute, good fashion sense

Owldol:
and :eye_in_speech_bubble:

Danjuro:
I don't like it no sir

Owldol:
"HEY! What are you up to! Drace - stop him! He's a wizard, he's casting magic!"
Agi is disconnected.
Agi has connected.

Danjuro:
"I resent that!" fuck it, might as well just cast it at this point for all it's good for

Danjuro:
a burst...4?? Does 4e use the same meaning of things?

Energetic Masked Man:
"Oh, dear, what's she shouting about? Such a loud voice for a small girl! I wonder, do Shadow animals behave the same way..."

Shadow Tagalong:
"Oh, hey, that---" You have summoned T H E V O I D

Shadow Tagalong:
I'm

Shadow Tagalong:
assuming you're gonna try and bail

Dragirl:
"Whoa?! Hey, what's going on?! Why's it so dark?!"

Danjuro:
I didn't realize

Danjuro:
this was a burst 4

Danjuro:
but yes

Owldol:
"I told you he was a wizard! What do yo uTHINK happened?! H--hey, aim over THERE!"

Stella:
"I-I'm sorry, I can't fly carry you out of here!"

Danjuro:
"I'll manage, you take off when you can!"

Stella:
"Are you sure...? If you get captured, what are you gonna do?!"

Danjuro:
"I'll just have to not get captured then, huh?"

Stella:
Well, Stella takes off

Stella:
"R-right... I'll go tell the others!"

Stella:
we will either come for you

Stella:
or mourn your passing

Stella:
I think it'll be split 50/50 between Sita and Kaori

Stella:
who would vote what is up to you

Danjuro:
how the fuk they got a whole-ass base here
Phatthrice:
Alright, well
Phatthrice:
You get a head start on the two trackers, but where are you headed?
Phatthrice:
Back to camp?

Danjuro:
Fuck that I'm not leading them back there

Danjuro:
as though I could even find it

Danjuro:
I'm just... going to sprint down the trail we were on for a bit, then trailblaze, in hopes of cutting to the coast

Danjuro:
I'll walk along the coast until I find where we crashlanded

Danjuro:
which really these shitters should have done
Kaori: (( Sorry, been dealing with some stuff. ))
Phatthrice:
Alright, well, you're going to need a couple of checks - Survival to find your way to the coast, and Stealth to stay hidden

Danjuro:
If I'm cornered by a group of 2 or more I'll do my best to hide, if it's just one I'll try and take them on
Phatthrice:
we know you had to jack off mothman in order to appease him
Phatthrice:
it's ok

Danjuro:
I would like to make an argument for Endurance here

Danjuro:
there isn't a Survival and there isn't any real knowledge of nature involved

Danjuro:
with that in mind uhhh Endurance 24 (-4 if it must needs be Nature) Stealth 22

Danjuro:
HOO, shit, there's the rolls.
Phatthrice:
It DOES need to be nature, Nature literally calls out finding your way through the wilderness lol
Phatthrice:
Survival was rolled into Nature
Phatthrice:
You successfully make it close to the coast, having evaded all your pursuers. You arrive at the wreckage, however, to find someone waiting for you. As you dart past, they pop out from behind a piece of the ship, holding up their hands as a show of peace. "Hold, hold! I mean you no harm!"

Danjuro:
"Nngh... make it quick!"

Energetic Masked Man:
"Ah, don't worry. There aren't any others coming this way! Not anymore, at least. Somehow, they believed me when I said you wouldn't be stupid enough to come back here."

Energetic Masked Man:
"Uh, not to insult you, of course!"
Ci Tsukino is disconnected.
Phatthrice:
For the record - you're still out of your armor yeah

Danjuro:
"Do you have a point to make or not?!" Danjuro's eyes dart involuntarily towards the campsite. "We didn't even know that ship was stolen, we're just trying to get back home!"

Danjuro:
yeah

Danjuro:
14 whole AC

Energetic Masked Man:
"Stolen? Oh! Well that would explain things... But, no, that's not why I'm here. That magic you did, I want to ask you about it."

Energetic Masked Man:
"I've seen it before, you see..."

Danjuro:
"Buddy, I barely understand how it works myself."

Danjuro:
"That was my first time really tapping into it..."

Energetic Masked Man:
"Was it? Interesting...So you don't have any connection to that gang of Shadows?"

Energetic Masked Man:
"That called themselves the Night Owls?"

Danjuro:
huh, we settled on that as canon? Thought that was left up in the air

Danjuro:
I mean I'm down

Danjuro:
Danjuro gives a weary grin. "What's it to ya? Are you looking for an autograph?"

Danjuro:
"I ain't signing anything else today. Freaking suits in the idol business..."

Energetic Masked Man:
"What? Oh - no! I'm not with them! I'm...er, hm... Well, I suppose my official title would be that of a 'page of the Grimoire'. But I know little about the organization...I was only escorting that poor girl back home! That merchant force claimed to know a way."

Danjuro:
"When you say home, do you mean... home, in this world? Or home in the outside?"

Energetic Masked Man:
"Outside, of course. She lost her way out, so... Well, we had to find another!"

Energetic Masked Man:
"She's awful worried about it, the poor thing, and I can't leave a darling like that unattended. It wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me!"

Danjuro:
"Well, I have a few ladies I'm leaving unattended right now, now that you mention it."

Danjuro:
"Did you want a demonstration of the whole..." *hand motions* "Persona thing again, or what?"

Energetic Masked Man:
"Well, if you'd like, sure! It would allow me to assuage my fears, at the very least. Perhaps I could aid you in your return, as well."

Energetic Masked Man:
brb

Danjuro:
"I... maybe. Look, not gonna lie, we're in pretty desperate shape right now. Don't even know where a freakin' portal to the outside is, and the Shadows who've been helping us are just as stranded no, no small part due to us screwing up."

Danjuro:
"And my dumb ass just took one of them straight into enemy territory, braely got out. I don't know what we're doing here."

Danjuro:
"I'm just about willing to follow any lead we've got, but seeing you with the merchants isn't exactly the best light, you know?"

Energetic Masked Man:
"Ah, I understand your worries! Well, if you'd prefer to find your own way out, so be it! It may be safer for you. Those merchants will know of whatever method we'll be using...since they'll be showing it to us."
Phatthrice:
I'm guessing you elect not to Person A Go-Go and instead finna head out Ms Frizzle?

Danjuro:
I'll do it as a show of good faith

Danjuro:
but I'll be gone when it's over
Phatthrice:
The mmagic thing I assume?
Phatthrice:
Or the whole Person

Danjuro:
yea

Iblis:
Fine, Iblis can pull the curtain

Iblis:
I forgot this was even a thing

Energetic Masked Man:
"...Wait! That IS the same Persona! Hold, heathen!" He strikes a jojose, acting to summon his OWN Persona

Agaliarept:
But, by the time he summons it, you already have the chance to be skedaddled

Agaliarept:

Iblis:
