Falcon and Wolf TV Dungeon HUB

[gorobo]

Scared of himself, of the monster others perceive him as, Wolf fled into the TV, hoping to find refuge in the digital space, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare...

 

Blinded by his own hate, his own insecurities, Falcon witnessed himself on the TV.
Driven by the fear of what it meant, he went inside to stop it, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare...

Goddammit, where's Rise when you need her.

Dunno if that broadcast worked outside of Inaba or not, but if it didn't, we got two people stuck in the TV world right now. (Or maybe three? But it looked like two of 'em were basically the same entity.) [In a way, Kanji's glad it finally just happened, instead of being a lingering warning indefinitely.]

We could use someone with navi skills to figure out where their dungeons spawned, and at least two groups of people (with navi if we can) for the rescue mission. Usually it's just random Shadows and a miniboss or two along the way, but who knows if these things will want to do some kind of 'look at my tragic backstory' thing.

Once you get to the person you're gonna have to deal with their Shadow. It's gonna spill a bunch of nasty shit and buried insecurities and basically be awful for everybody involved. The person you're trying to rescue will, most likely, want to reject it. (Especially that first one-or-two, feels too much like Naoto for me to think they're getting out of that cleanly.)

The Shadow will go into full monster mode, and you will have to fight it, and it will probably suck. Then you gotta hope the person's calmed down enough to accept it and get their Persona (back?). Place won't fall down around your ears once you're done, at least.

Most important: We're on a deadline. Not that this place tends to have much weather, but it will now, because that's how the Midnight Channel works. Keep an eye on the forecast. When we hit three or so days of rain in a row, we're almost out of time. That means a foggy night's coming, and after that... well, I guess here they'd respawn in the Velvet Room, but still. Let's not test that too hard.

[wipingallout]

Thanks for the run-down and the defined time limit. I'm keen on hopping in the moment we find where they are so we don't have to crunch a time limit.

I don't have navigational skills with any of my Personas, but I can definitely be a part of safely getting a group through for the fight. I'll start stocking up now.

Are there on-foot ways to track down where these two might be? I can help there, too.

[very_elaborate]

Dunno. We never tried - it was too foggy in there to bother. I haven't been in this one yet to see if it's still that bad visibility-wise.

We should have a couple weeks, three tops, before the weather turns bad.

[wipingallout]

Got it, so they'd only be able to be found in the TV world.

[If it were something like the Shadows out during the Dark Hour, they could at least spread out and look on foot, but with fog and a cognitive world being the obstacle...]

I might ask someone to help us pinpoint it, even if he likely won't want to or be able to be involved in the actual exploration.

[odysseyandroid]

You are speaking about the unusual broadcast that occurred at midnight. I saw it while searching for Falcon-senpai in the Akihabara area of Tokyo.

He left our home in Inaba without any prior notification, and did not return. According to this post, you are saying that Falcon-senpai is in the TV World, and that he is in danger. We need to find him before the fog appears within Inaba, and we must confront his Shadow(s).

Not only that, but you are stating there is another civilian in the TV World, and as such they are another civilian that must be rescued from their Shadow(s).

This is an imperative and high priority operation that cannot afford to be ignored. I will volunteer. I am an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon. My Persona, Nemo, specializes in physical attacks and weakening enemies. I can also shoot bullets.

Please allow me to join you. I want to help Falcon-senpai.

[very_elaborate]

The more the merrier. Or something like that, anyway. I don't know either of 'em, but that never stopped us before.

[If it had, Kanji would be dead.]

[odysseyandroid]

Thank you. I will not fail at my objective. It is my mission to defeat Shadows and to protect civilians.

Falcon-senpai is my brother. I have been residing in the same residence as him. I can provide you with data, if it is necessary to locate him.

[vampirethief]

I agree that we shouldn't test them coming back too hard. Respwanning in the Velvet Room is not fun. Plus what if they end up back in the TV World and then it creates a cycle of them dying then coming back and back again?

I don't have any navi skills, but I am a wildcard. I'll help out.

[Granted he doesn't know either Akechis well, but like hell he's gonna sit back and not help.]

[very_elaborate]

Yeah, let's not test it. Sounds like a good way to get someone permanently sick - the fog's usually not a problem during this phase and less of one after you get a Persona, but it's still not great.

[aknightnotaprincess]

So basically much less complicated than palaces. Good to know we don't need to be ready to book it because of the place collapsing.

Not a navi, but I want to help. Even if I don't know either of those Akechis very well, I'll do what I can to help rescue them.

[Plus she's just itching for some real action after more than a year of going into Mementos alone.]

[very_elaborate]

I don't know 'em either, but that never stopped us before. If it had, I'd be dead.

The real trick is the time limit. We should at least have a couple weeks before it gets bad, but still better to bust these things out ASAP.

[wicked_plan]

Well fuck. Good to hear at least we won't have to make a quick escape...?

Still, I agree we can't leave them in there for too long. I only caught the tail end of the latter, but that looked dangerous. I'm not too familiar with either of them, but count me in. If this is anything like Futaba's Palace we can't leave them to suffer.

[very_elaborate]

We can't leave 'em to suffer either way. This shit's not easy to deal with, and they won't be happy that other people are gonna see it.

[rosemaudite]

I suspect the first broadcast relates to Falcon alone.

And I will be assisting in his liberation. [Not that Haru really expects anyone to try to stop her, but.]

[fogboundcrow]

Everything Kanji said is true. We can try to convince them not to reject their Shadows. My world's Rise-san succeeded on that front, but she had time to mentally prepare herself. I doubt that Wolf and Falcon are so lucky.

I want to help them both, but there's only one of me to go around. I'm not sure what to do.

I care about them both. How do I even begin to decide?

[very_elaborate]

I mean, technically you can go twice. Crow takes one, you take the other?

[vampirethief]

Understandable that you want to help both at the same time. I would if I could, even if I don't know them that well.

If it comes down to it when deciding where to go, maybe flip a coin, or do rock-paper-scissors with Crow?

[Maybe not so much the last one as the memory link might make that impossible.]

[fogbornphantom]

I'd like to add that there is some overlap between the TV world and the Metaverse. Any weaponry you use in the Metaverse should function similarly there. Your Metaverse masks will work in lieu of glasses, but if you lack the glasses, they're accessible right outside the TV.

Also, do not try to enter the TV world from any television that isn't the center most display screen in the Junes electronics department. You will get lost.

Try to bring at least one Goho-M. Shiroku's store in Inaba carries them, along with assorted healing items and elemental items you can use to broaden your coverage. Fresh produce can also work wonders. For instance, melon acts as a single-person Soma.

At any rate, Hiro and I will assist with Falcon's dungeon, and if need be, we can navigate.

[aknightnotaprincess]

Oh really? That makes things a lot easier as I was planning on grabbing a pair of glasses. I might do so anyway as a back-up plan.

[Vampire Ren will likely do the same. She hasn't decided where she'll go, and neither has Ren either.]

[rosemaudite]

Noir and I have been keeping on top of the gardens since there was first talk of a figure on this Midnight Channel thing. We should have plenty in stock.

[odysseyandroid]

I have updated my database with this information.

I must confirm whether these glasses will interfere with my optic cameras.

the next morning (or 2nd day of viewing)

[counterfeitphantom]

Analysis of environmental variables and recent Midnight Channel integration confirms the following:

- Probability of persistent rainfall (≥3 consecutive days) within the next 14-day period: 28%

- Estimated timeframe for heightened risk: Week 2 - Week 3 of April

- Forecasted wind patterns suggest instability post-Week 3, reducing total timeframe to 21 days (approx.) for optimized retrieval operation.

Conclusion: Intervention required ASAP.

That aside—sharing this intel is actually useful, so, thanks for that.

Operational viability update:

I do have a Persona, but my specialty is in Navigation (or if we’re being needlessly bureaucratic, ‘Supervision’—but let’s not). I will require Wolf’s support for initial cognitive integration, but after that, I can manage my own sustainment.

He wouldn’t say no to getting both of them out. I know him. So that much is settled.

[I should have reached out earlier. I should have told my father what I found out about him. Maybe then, we wouldn’t be here.]

I found out some things and I wanted to confront Wolf-kun about it but...seems like I was too late.

I’m sorry.

I’m going to try my best from here on out.

[very_elaborate]

It ain't your fault. When this shit decides it's gonna happen, it happens. Probably would've come to this sooner or later, even if you did talk to him first.

But anyway, between you and Crow it sounds like we have people who can navi for both groups, and if Rose is right we don't need to worry about a third group, so that's good.

[mirrorgirl]

can’t say I’ve ever seen a tv dungeon before, thanks for your explanation, count me in on helping.
Sorry for not responding right away, I was a bit occupied >~<
Can’t say if I’ll be there for both but if one dungeon belongs to Falcon then I’m helping him.

I Can’t really help on the navigation end but my persona has healing and buffs! Just let me know where I’m needed I’ll help however I can!

[very_elaborate]

Healing and buffs are also great to have around. Don't worry about the delay - ain't like we've really done much yet.
