BUCKLE UP, DOROTHY-
>Persona: Heirophant
I rolled dice. I got this. Fitting.
>Knowledge (Free, Heir)
Actually paid attention in school.
>Student Counsel Member (1400, Heir)
Shouldn't this be council, or is this a play on words?
>Time Management (1200, Heir)
This is an absolute must. Not for this jump, but for jumping in general. There is a lot to see and do, even if I spent a decade in most worlds. If only I'd had this sooner.
>Psychologist (600)
Oh, this is going to be important. Dealing with issues would be bad WITHOUT taking the rest into account.
>Rumormonger (300, Heir)
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
>Spending Money (¥500,000, Free, Heir)
Well, it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of money.
>Book of the Month Club (0)
You know what? Getting new books on a monthly basis, no matter where I am, actually sounds kind of nice. (The five 100 CP abilities as a part of the package deal doesn't hurt either.)

Now, part of the problem is that I don't KNOW exactly what I signed on for when I took those drawbacks. I'm not familiar enough with Persona, you see. I'm only familiar enough to know that I'm going to be in for a bad time.

So I'm just going to do my best to tackle it by being in as many places at once as I can, to follow up on everything that I possibly can, and work on everything from there that I possibly can.

Nyarlathotep is going to be hit with the orbital befriending cannon (as I have come to call the Sajuuk-boosted magical purification beam). The dice said the results for that were reasonably good, at least, so that's ONE plus. It won't kill him, but it will disperse him for a

Everything else I'm going to use clairvoyance on, to deal with and try to nip in the bud. Gravitational fluctuations in magazines? Debunked in next month's edition (after dealing with it). Swamp gas reflecting the light of Venus, etc.

Cell phone app to predict the future? Oddly, there have already been a few of those that were briefly accurate and then turned out to be giant scams (which only made me feel mildly guilty about). Makes it easier to deal with the real thing.

Apocalyptic cults, though?

Give them all the Emperor's mercy.

We don't tolerate that shit around here.
