☸ PHOENIX

Has, unfortunately, with the conclusion of the last major operation, begun preparing for the next one. His relationship with Futaba and Falcon repaired and those immediate concerns dealt with, he'd spent the bulk of spring working, with care, on honing those skills of his which did not involve Personas. Midnight, whatever her thoughts on the matter, needed help- and Violet's plea for assistance would not go unanswered.

Throughout most of April and May, he could be found, frequently, at Shujin- a location which had been selected for its abundance of space and his reasonable certainty that nobody cared if it got slightly exploded. And so, the courtyard had become something of an impromptu practice range for a number of inventive uses of Goetic magic- interspersed with occasional minor explosions, gunfire, and of course interspersed with the odd expletive, suggesting possible injury.

When not engaged with the noble sport of wrecking a high school that nobody liked, he was, usually, in or around Yongen-Jaya, whether at home relaxing, or spending time at Leblanc, enjoying the sacred ritual that was his afternoon coffee.

There was also, of course, the frequent trips to Tartarus, which were always open to all and ran at least once or twice a week.

❆ RENÉE

Renée, of late, had been doing an amount of soul-searching. A mortal life had been chosen, and that left, largely, the unanswered question of... what now?

In truth, she was bored. Her skillset included combat and an encyclopaedic knowledge of mythology and literature, which by most metrics qualified her to be a librarian or a better class of mercenary and not much else. Her favorite haunt had gone out of business, and that left her in the unfortunate position of needing to come up with a hobby... without actually knowing how to have one. To such an end, she'd enlisted the aid of her friends and comrades to help her be... for lack of a better term, human.

ᚠ WOLF AND ROOKMON

Recovery was... a process, and not a destination. Certainly Wolf was doing better- but better was not the same thing as well. But the important thing was, he was occasionally spotted actually out and about, whether it be fishing, which was always a favored pastime, or even attempting (in vain) to teach Rookmon about the finer points of one of the arcades in Akihabara.

... Begrudgingly, they'd started appearing in the Tartarus raids. They might have been restricted, for now, to the lower floors, but the important thing was... something. Wolf wasn't yet sure what.

Congratulations! You're now the proud owner (or parent?) of an egg.

All residents of the Velvet Room will find an egg next to them when they wake up today, or, if they don't sleep, they'll blink or look away and find it sitting beside them. A simple card rests beside it, bearing their name in elegant calligraphy.

The egg is about the size and shape of a goose egg, but colored a pale, sparkling blue reminiscent of the Velvet Room's butterflies. It weighs less than you might expect, but it's warm, and now and then you feel something move inside it... or is that just your imagination? You don't need to carry it with you everywhere, but if you try to abandon it entirely, it'll return to your home to wait for you again. It's completely indestructible and impossible to crack.

Igor and the attendants of the Velvet Room refuse to answer questions about the egg plague, or even give cryptic hints. The most they'll do is talk about how much of a mystery the world can be. The attendants seem pretty pleased about something, though...

After a day of being perplexing, alarming, endearing, amusing, or whatever other reaction they might inspire, the eggs finally crack at the stroke of midnight. Their broken shells turn to glimmering blue light and vanish, revealing...

...an orb of your character, in the style of Gorbs and Jokorbs, or any other orb you've seen on TV. This one, though, is a normal orb size (small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand) and exhibits no signs of life or sentience. It's nothing more than a little round plushie that looks like you. Unlike the egg, it can be destroyed or abandoned, but how could you do such a thing? Look at its little face.

[[ Happy April Fools' Day! Enjoy this small event gifted to your characters, or inflicted upon them, by powers unknown. Definitely not by Igor, and especially not because a certain one of his attendants thought of it. ]]

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...

ANY QUESTIONS?

Please feel more than free to ask them! I'll do my best to answer them.

a. Shibuya

Sumire's been meaning to expand her wardrobe for a while now, both here and at home. Kasumi chose everything for the both of them, so she only has the vaguest idea of what she's doing.

But! She has a - a date sometime soon! With a cute girl! So surely that means she needs to be able to dress to impress.

She's wandering around various clothing stores, occasionally consulting a packet of paper with labeled illustrations of various cuts of clothing. Sharp eyes might recognise the handwriting as Ann's, but the artwork decidedly is not. Even with that guidance, though, she... could use some help.

b. Tartarus

If Sumire's going to be any kind of use in Midnight-san's Palace, she needs some practice, and it's far better to get that practice with other people than to try to go into a cognitive space alone. Since there are regular Tartarus runs, she's opting to get in on one of those.

Even if the Dark Hour setting in and the high school exploding upward into a giant tower is... kind of alarming.

In proper Phantom Thief tradition, her outfit does change when she steps into the tower, but if anyone was expecting her to match the Violet they know, they're in for a shock. She's still wearing a leotard and long boots, but the leotard and its bolero jacket are a deep greenish-black, and the boots, more obviously green, have a faint snakeskin pattern. Sumire's gloves are blue-violet, and her hair pulls itself back into a bun, emerald-studded pins holding it in place.

She may be new to Persona combat, but she's ready to give it a go.

Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room. About Akira Maruki who goes by the codename- Morning. Yes, I’m Morning’s biological father. In another world. We took a paternity test, and I’ve pinned the results to the conspiracy board for anyone who wants to cross-reference them. If that’s still not enough to convince you, I’m open to being proven wrong—scientifically, of course. Because let’s be honest, the idea of suddenly being a father to someone I only knew as a fellow student or a close confidant? That’s… borderline ridiculous I will be honest. But that’s not all there is to it. There’s actualization involved. I can sense it. Reality has been tampered with—most likely by the version of me from Morning’s world. I’m still trying to grasp the full extent of what’s happened, but until then… Please be kind to him. Help him heal. Be his friend. If you’d like to reach out, I can extend his number to you. And one last thing—don’t treat him like Midnight. Don’t treat any of them harshly. No one deserves that. P.S. If your mom’s birth name is Karin Ikeda, please… for the sake of my remaining sanity, get a paternity test. Please. Before I get more gray hairs.

To whom it may concern, my Ren and I have completed our duel. Though the battle was arduous and presented many challenges, I won where it matters most. Remove Personas from the equation, and my alluring qualities were far too much to resist. I came out of that fight with more than I anticipated, turning the tables effortlessly after withstanding Ren's most powerful Personas. Sometimes, it is the aftermath of the initial battle that determines one's true strength. There are many ways toward victory. I've permanently etched myself into his heart and mind. Funny, when he's the one so famous for stealing hearts.

[Those fluent in Akechese may be able to pick up that he didn't win the actual fight, but shh.

He's not just going to say that.]
