Status reports of everyone. Is everyone healing fine?

We need to come up with a plan. It took far too long to take out that horde. We have to train somehow. Has anyone had any success with calling on that power since then?

... Also, this is a more personal note, but... it's been a while since I've been in school. I have Gen's memories of it, but is anyone else having trouble with this?

Jaune Arc ⚔ Eligor

[sociallyarcward]

I failed a history test yesterday...I never fail history tests but everything was kinda jumbled.

So, yeah, definitely having some trouble adjusting. That's probably just the most obvious one. For now, I've kind of gotten away with it because people think I'm still recovering from a stomach bug, but that's probably only going to get me through the next couple of days.

But anyway, a plan would be good--but honestly considering we were sort of just thrown into the middle of a whole bunch of monsters and told to fight after ripping out our hears I think we did pretty good.

[Perspective. It's important. Heck, it went a lot better than Jaune's first battle with Grimm, so he's chalking this up as a win.]

But isn't it going to look a little suspicious if we all start hanging out and trying to talk about this? There were a lot of us there and while some of us know each other from before...it's going to be a bit strange if we just all start having meetups out of the blue, especially given our numbers. So maybe we should coordinate and meet in smaller groups, pass information along that way...

[Jaune was more comfortable in smaller groups anyway, plus it would just be logistically impossible--unless they piled into someone's room or something, and even then it would have to be the dorms or something.]

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

We were thrown in, but we need to be ready in case we're thrown in again.

... And that's true. Unless we can think of a cover story for that many people... taking into account that there's people of different ages in this group.

Jaune Arc ⚔ Eligor

[sociallyarcward]

Luci definitely seemed to imply that this would happen again...so, yeah, we need to figure out SOMETHING.

The various ages are going to make it difficult--and didn't we have some adults there too? So it's not like we can just play it off as a new school club as a cover...

Even then, we'd need a location too.

Mako ☸ Vassago

[torching]

to be honest i haven't even tried since then.

going off of what john said up there ^, i'd be willing to try and coordinate a meetup for everyone at the academy, at least?

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

I have, it's not working.

[Maybe it's like with Houdini? He'll have to try again later...]

We'll have to find a place no one's using. And probably arrive separately at different times.

Mako ☸ Vassago

[torching]

really? you think there's a way to ask luci about it?

the library's usually pretty empty in certain areas. splitting people into groups might be a good idea, maybe by age so we can just say we're working on class projects or something

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

i tried
nothing happened

school is difficult now

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

Nothing here, either.

And yes. I haven't been in over ten years.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

only when there's enemies?

i've never been
before this

Louis ⚔ Paimon

[mutesician]

It feels weird for me to be a teacher now. I remember being in a school before, but only to learn how to read and write. And I'm having trouble with playing most of the instruments I used to be able to, even my trumpet. I've been relying a lot more on the textbook recently.

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

I can't exactly help you with the music part.

But it's been over ten years since I was last in school.

Louis ⚔ Paimon

[mutesician]

It's alright. I might just have to focus more on teaching theory or correcting my students. My ear's good enough at that, at least.

That is a long time. What have you been doing after that?

Jun Kurosu ⚔ Shax

[onlythankyou]

I doubt we can summon at all during the day - Shax goes completely dormant. It's only slightly better at night. I haven't tested summoning at night yet.

[He'd...rather not see Shax, if he can help it. The Persona's form makes sense, but that doesn't mean Jun likes the reminder of who and what he is. Chronos felt much more...him.]

I haven't faced that many enemies at once before. I don't doubt we'll be fighting again. Your Persona will get stronger with use.

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

I'll have to check. I don't like the idea of another presence in my head, though.

[It reminds him too much of that time he'd been taken over by Alain... even if they're fine now and he doubts Alain would do that to him again, it's still weird to think of another presence in his mind.]

You have experience with these... things?

Jun Kurosu ⚔ Shax

[onlythankyou]

It isn't really another presence. It's part of you - a side of your personality you don't normally show. I'm used to them being much more present than this...

I've been a Persona-user for ten years. Maybe longer, depending on how time works.

[Ten...twenty six? Maybe technically he's only begun, considering the reset. He'll...think about that later.]

Chikusa Kakimoto ☸ Astaroth

[kokuyoyo]

[For a little while, he wonders if he should even respond to the message that beeps on his phone from where he's curled up on the balcony, surrounded by greenery. "Chikusa" wouldn't bother; it doesn't really concern him. However, as the minutes tick by, "Ciro" reminds him of how "Gen" is.]

[Going quiet.... That would just reveal how he hasn't been attending class, or seeing anyone.]

[Best talk. Just so he doesn't have to deal with anyone in the real world.]

I'm doing fine.

What part are you having trouble with?

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

[He's been holding off on fussing too hard, but 'Gen' is getting restless about the lack of contact, so he's glad when the boy responds.]

You know where I am if you need somewhere to go.

... Most of it. The structure is boring, for one.

[blackdogdown]

Fighting you was probably not.....the best choice. Hope you healed up ok.

Personally I was thinking of just dropping out. The 'point' of school is sort of lost on me now. This worlds fake or something, we're all from somewhere else, don't see a reason to bother.

[transient_specter]

I've fought worse.

... And somewhere in the distance, Akari-kun is screaming.

[Wait shit he didn't mean to send that part how do you delete on this thing -]

Never mind.

I probably would have been forced into it if I had stuck around in the world I'm from.

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

I feel like I should be having more trouble with school, but I must have absorbed quite a bit of knowledge so I feel as though I could still teach others. If that is still a problem you have, Makoto.

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

I might... letting Gen's grades slip suddenly would be suspicious, wouldn't it?

Yuuto Kidou ☸ Eligor

[kouteipenguin]

I'm alright.

I agree completely. We're not ready for this collectively, even if some individuals are. While we can't train with weapons, we can always work on teamwork and strength if others agree to.

I don't know if anyone's tried to ... do that again. I haven't.

As for school, I haven't faced many problems.

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

The only people I've really fought alongside at home are ones I spent multiple years training with, so I'm not sure how to force teamwork so quickly. But strength I can help with.

Lucky.

Koujirou Genda ⚔ Marchosias

[beastfang]

Physically nothing of note regarding that incident.
Outside of fatigue from the use of those abilities.

Perhaps there is a threshold regarding the use of these abilities that have a certain time where they are unable to be used due to the energy needed to use them?


[He's also going to ignore any questions regarding personal problems due to all of this. Sorry Makoto he's less then helpful on the front.]

Makoto Fukami ⚔ Marchosias

[transient_specter]

Maybe. That sounds too scientific for me to know how to solve.
