[network][locked from warped_ken_amada and any character under 10] anti-evil baby task force

[ The following initial paragraph is added on December 19th, following Zenkichi's arrival. ]
NOTICE TO ALL NEWCOMERS: SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT AMADA, THE PLANNING, AND THE SITUATION EXCEPT IN THIS POST. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK THEM HERE AND SOMEONE WILL ANSWER THEM. FOR FUCK'S SAKE *DON'T ASK PUBLICLY WHAT WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT IN LOCKED POSTS*


hey everyone (except amada and kiddos)

in case any of you aren't aware of the situation, one of the ken amadas killed falcon a couple days ago, then made a network post threatening the rest of us. so obv we need to neutralize him

i made my own post to collect ideas abt how to do that. this is part 2, and i'm gonna update this one with new info so pls save it and come back to it


THINGS WE KNOW

the most important new info is that if amada is killed, igor won't bring him back. he'll be dead forever. so killing him is back on the table in theory, though how to do that/whether we can do that is a question mark

i sent frog to ask igor & co some questions. they were p forthcoming by their standards. if anyone didn't know, they've said they didn't bring amada in. frog learned some interesting new stuff, too, such as the death thing. also: igor has less control over amada than he does over the rest of us, which we kinda already knew. when frog asked who brought amada to the velvet room if not igor, he said "he brought himself (|||❛︵❛.)" and then he didn't answer any followup questions such as, so how many other people can sense this place from the outside, and can they get in too

igor also confirmed that he would be willing to temporarily lift the restrictions on sagiri's powers to deal with amada

amada caused non-fatal harm to someone who went after him, so murder is not his *only* weapon. he can also do broken bones (* ^ ω ^) he also made it so that bone couldn't be healed, so it's a more serious issue than a lot of us are used to. that said, he's still threatened to kill any and all of us, and after falcon we should be taking that seriously

another amada wrote up this info for combat. READ THIS if you think you're likely to see combat with the psycho amada, and maybe even if you don't think so. DO NOT VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT until you've read it


IDEAS

lotus has said that he may be able to exert control over amada by receiving his name. he can't guarantee that it'll work tho

lotus also has another possible trick up his sleeve, more dangerous to everyone including him. frog and i know abt it tho so we can be thinking abt it, and if all else fails, we can all discuss it then

like i said above, sagiri is willing to use his god-level powers, though he hasn't explained what he would be doing w them

if igor agrees to unleash kira as well, kira might be able to possess amada and lower his defenses, and help get the rest of us out of danger

aragaki has brought up using amada's mother as a weak spot

we may be able to create rumors in sumaru that work to our advantage if we fight him there

shrike may be able to use psychic abilities to affect amadas state of mind. this is unpredictable and risky, probably best used if things are already looking grim


PREV IDEAS THAT NOW LOOK LESS GOOD

phoenix and renée have brought up swords that block regeneration. but they would have to strike a killing blow with the sword. to start with, other amada thought that might be impossible, and we also know now that a killing blow will be fatal no matter what weapon

maruki's actualization probably wouldn't work, and if it did it wouldn't stick, according to phoenix who has been actualized


FIGHTING

we're fucked if we don't at least get ready for a fight. it's gonna be rough (READ OTHER AMADA'S WRITEUP) but we've heard some thoughts

other amada is willing to train with us, starting in a few days

crow believes that bonds will be important in making wild cards stronger for upcoming battles

rose is going to look into items that pierce elemental resistance, including growing new plants w noir. the plants might or might not be ready in time

given the new info, i've cut some people from the fight list. i can vouch for the strength of most people who were in my palace. anyone else, i don't know as well. really think abt whether you're up to standard before volunteering. the current list of people who're up for a fight is as follows

-me
-frog
-glitch
-phoenix
-spades
-crow
-joker
-magpie
-falcon
-vampire ren
-briar
-renée
-hasegawa
-suou
-raven
-wild
-karasu
-amada

as well as the other amada, who is on another level than the rest of us

to stay on the list, train with not-psycho amada and work on defensively-oriented strats. once amada is ready to train, we'll set up a schedule


WHAT WE NEED RN (besides training + collecting items)

input on the ideas. we have a lot of "maybe it'll work"s and no "this will definitely work"s, so we need to decide on which maybes to try first and which to hold off on as a plan B, plan C, etc

to add/correct/remove ideas or volunteer/unvolunteer, reply to this post. if u wanna talk to me in person, i'll be taking care of leblanc for the next several days while frog goes on a research binge. after that, go to leblanc anyway and if i'm not already there, frog will summon me


the situation is shitty, but i don't think anyone here wants to sit around and let someone threaten our lives. if nothing else, amada seems like the kind of guy who would fuck up a little kid if they got in his way, and we have little akira and little goro wandering around. we've come together for less, some of us have killed gods, so we can come together and get rid of this threat now

[Zenkichi sighed, cracking his knuckles before typing, his mind replaying Akane’s analysis of the MetaNav.]

Let’s start with the easy answer
Akane, looked into the MetaNav’s cognitive framework. Apparently, its functions are similar to what we’ve seen with Jails and EMMA, so she’s the one who made the connection.

As for entering Jails… nah, we don’t climb through broken TVs or anything
it’s worse than that.
In our world, cognition has fully blended with reality. The areas where Jails are located? They exist as is, right in the real world. Imagine walking through a city and suddenly hitting a dead zone filled with Shadows, environmental hazards who are chasing your desires down like nothing.

That's my world. Wouldn't recommend a tour without a persona in which case those shadows will only try to kill you. Or worse.

Anyone suspicious of Monarchs or Jails in the wrong zones risks being quarantined or kicked out of habitable areas or disposed off entirely by delivering them a swift death and then us enforcers come to clean out the cognitive messes left behind by them. It's survival of the fittest out here.

It wasn’t always like this, though. I’ve never seen anything like your Mementos, but when EMMA first hit the scene, it had this “friend” feature. Sounded harmless, right? Except it wasn’t. Monarchs were always people who’d been kicked down, traumatized, or discredited. EMMA exploited that—fed them the tools to enact their revenge or fulfill their desires, and in turn, they’d use Jails to spread her influence.

Jails in my world are powered by collective desires, the things the public craves and fuels with their attention. Monarchs use this power to manipulate and change hearts. It starts with a keyword—someone types it into EMMA, and their Shadow Self gets yanked into the Jail. That’s where the real nightmare begins.

Shadows hunt them, steal their desires, and they’re locked in “Prison Keeps,” left in a stupor like they’re dead to the world.
The Monarch isn’t the only one in control of the Jail—it’s more like they’re a puppet for EMMA. She manipulated them into creating a network of Jails across the country. Every city, every town, ended up with a Monarch. And back when I was still just an inspector in Kyoto, all I could do was monitor the bizarre behavior of influential people with no real leads. It was frustrating to say the least.

EMMA kept things too clean, too efficient.
Now, in the present—or future, I guess—Shadow Enforcers like me go into these zones to take out the sub-monarchs (since EMMA is the main Monarch now). We even use portals for the especially dangerous spots, but it’s never-ending work. There are apps designed from the structure of EMMA now to help detect Jails and Monarchs, but EMMA still pulls the strings and in worse scenarios, even manipulates the third party creations. It can still be utilized as a weapon by her cult followings. She’s the leader of all this, her influence keeping the whole twisted system intact.

So yeah, we’ve got thousands of weapons like me now. Fifteen years of this, and I’ve barely made a dent with all the Jail owners I just imagined. Imagine the nearly 1500 municipalities in Japan, each with a Monarch at some point, each with a Jail, each one manipulating and corrupting its surroundings. Even if we have recovered 40% of those places- there are no people left there and that number constantly tilts back and forth.

-p.s i do type in my brain so don't be weirded out by my long texts coming in such short notice 🤣

Still kid. I won't lie and pretend I am not envious of your position. I hope one day my world can recover to something similar to yours. Or just
Any sort of future aside from mine

Hm okay so
You got the nav in which you...enter the person's name, location of the palace and distortion type- correct? Am I(or Akane) missing anything else?

[personal profile] unit_8910_wolf 2025-01-30 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Right.
So in terms of that-
EMMA for whatever reason, has access to the metaverse or the cognitive world. You can access these Jails that belong to the Monarchs by actually going to that specific location where the jail is then we need to figure out something called a "keyword."

"Keywords" were used as a way to be friends with the Monarchs or join their advertising campaign.

That's basically like- for example in Shibuya we had something called "Wonderland" shared around by this fashion designer- Alice Hiiragi and the moment you enter it- you essentially go into the metaverse in essence.

So in a way its similar to the MetaNav but as far as Akane can tell, there's no connection between the construction of the EMMA app being linked to your app.
