[9/15] Lunchtime -> [9/15] Evening
Time moves forward...and the festival now reaches its thunderous climax with the two exciting pageants, a professional-caliber musical performance, and of course, the closing bonfire for the student council's remarkable Festival. Nothing closes, some things are just beginning...and singles must feel especially vulnerable right now! Perhaps the Ms. Yasogami Pageant will offer them a beauty-based angel to pray to?
...
The Main Events of the Festival are now beginning! Schedule is as follows...
Early Evening - Ms. Yasogami High Pageant
Mid Evening - "Ms." Yasogami High Pageant
Late Evening - Performance by 'Nyx'.
Late Night - Closing Bonfire Party
...
Time advances...
(Time marches onward!)
It is now Evening!

 * ~:: The Kids Who Leaped Through Time razz art 2 - A Ripple in Time::~ *
...Over the skies of Inaba, 2012...The sky over the town as the Festival continues begins to rumble...for a few moments it seems almost as though the sudden onset of crackling thunder will end, before at last like glass the blue sky and the white clouds shatter, opening like a gate to reveal streaks of light that flashed down and tore across the sky, landing somewhere on the outskirts of Inaba. Unlike the incident days before, no secondary streaks were witnessed...and the violence of the emergence and the thunder of the landing were the last of the disturbances as the 'crack' seemed to meld and fade as soon as it had come. A strange memory, unexplained to those outside of the circle of knowing...to be forgotten soon, amidst the permeating strangeness of this place and time.
And where the 'Travelers' from the Corridor landed, but a few bodies stand in a new place, a new world...to explore the world that was, to save the one form which they had come.Quote: And so again, Travelers from the 'Bad Future' passed through the Akarana Corridor...a journey that was perilous and not without incident. And in September of 2012...the gate from the Corridor opened over the Supernatural Hotbed...and the children emerged! Scattered, few, alone...they land at last in the Present.
...Upon landing, a mission begins. One which may sway the very future of two worlds...
...
'The Ripples in Time' have been felt...but what will come in their wake?

[Dark Hour]
Quote: ::Zanazi's Screwy Commodities!:: Suddenly a new image jumps on screen with a blare of music, a crescendo of background music, and confetti galore! At first, the switch-a-roo is jarring, but after a few seconds a familiar and catchy tune begins playing. The camera slowly pans around a man wearing an absurdly colorful outfit that says, 'Don't let Apathy get the best of you! Buy now!'. The figure spun, pointing an enthused finger at the camera after a couple of quick turns! It's Tanaka, the famous businessman and the star of the famous commodities show where people are able to purchase valuable odds and ends.
"Wuah ha ha! Good evening, Iiiiii'm Ta-" The audio suddenly cuts out for a second, perhaps a glitch in the TV? "-aaazi, and this is Tanaka's Screwy Commodities! Our prices cast a Shadow over our competitors! Our cheap prices will nyx your wallet in no time!" The theme song plays again as the camera focuses in on the debonair businessman's face, tattered on one side to reveal a freakish white color underneath; he immediately points at the camera knowingly, giving another wink to the crowd. Static distorts the screen, and for a second another figure, older and eccentrically dressed appears for a split second before disappearing, perhaps from bad reception? "Lets bring out our first item of the day! It's a cute little bugger from the land down under! Iiiiiit's Stygian Wurm (x1)!! This creepy crawly's worth every penny, I promise you that, or your money back! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeeess! Buuuuut wait, there's more. Call now, and we'll throw in Death Crystal (x1)! All this for 5,000,000,000g!" The camera panned past the man to a pair of sexy ladies standing on either side of a podium. On the stand was an embroidered jar filled with dirt and all the necessary trappings of a little pet container, and inside the creature wriggled back and forth; similar to a worm farm perhaps, though this creature had far more spines than any creature the viewer had ever heard of. What a pet! What a keeper! Hoo hoo! A skippy, upbeat tune played as the name flashed over the television in wide, colorful letters, emphasizing the item once again.
"Not your cup of tea? Then lets bring out our second item of the daaaay! Iiiiit's Acheron Witch's Nightmare (x1)! Into the occult? Wanna see if you can commune with your spiritual side? Then give this hooga booga a try! Even if it fails, you've still got yourself the first instrument in your shiny new band! Give it a try." The camera energetically flew by Tanaka as he did a small step to the side and jig as he swung his fingers back and forth, getting in to the program. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeess! But wait, there's more! Buy now and you can get Low Skill Expansion Pack (x1)! And all this for the loooow price of 10,000,000,000gs! Call now, because supplies are limited."
The camera shot in multiple times disorientingly, finally blaring one last sound of techno-surprise music as Tanaka thrust a finger at the camera. "Arrrre you ready? Then leeeeets bring out our third item of the day! Iiiiiit's Medea's Aphrodisiac (x1)! Want to please your one true love? Need a little help getting them in the right mood? This'll turn their wanton eye your direction in a jiffy! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulness! But wait, there's more. Call now and we'll throw in Lifetime Supply of Ciela Mist (x1)! This one gets our special rate of 1,000,000,000g! Call in, and be the one to make the first moooove!" The program music aired again as room opened up for callers, and the camera made sure to get the broadcaster's good side as he awaited the incoming calls at 1-555-(9193).
"And now for our final item of the daaaaay! It's a special, so we're only selling one per customer." Tanaka moved to the side, where a large curtain had been hung to hide the final trophy for the avaricious viewers. The two show girls put their hands on the curtain, tugging with all their strength at the cloth to make it fall away and reveal...a human! Three of them in fact, tied up and left the worse for wear by their "benefactor". "Iiiiit's Hostage (x3)! One man's life is another man's treasure, as they say! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulness! But wait, there's more. Buy now and I'll throw in Shadow Attack (x1)! All for the low low price of 500,000,000g!"
A few moments later a loud jingle rang through the studio, and Tanaka let out a small chuckle, turning to the camera. "Wu ah ha ha! That's it folks, we're aaaaall sold out! Tune in tomorrow night for more Screwy Commodities! Same time, same Midnight Channel!" The theme began to play again as the camera faded out, and the lyrics hollowly rang out. 'Granter of your inner desiiiires! It's scccrreeewy, at *bzzzzt*-azi's Commodities! It's a mindblowing stoooore, all full of disaaasteerr~!''
And just like that, the television clicked off again, as the Midnight Channel's programming ended...though what this new bargain show portended too, each viewer could only guess. Except unbeatable prices and out-of-this-world deals, of course! Those were a guarantee. Quote: Tanaka's Screwy Commodities Each night at Midnight, Tanaka is willing to part with several rare items from his mysterious coffers! Only one of each item is available unless otherwise stated, and they're sure to be potent, so make sure to buy quickly! In order to purchase an item, send a PM with the preferred item to Arena_Emperor and a bid above the listed price, and the winner will be notified in course. The highest bid on each item will obtain the item. Tonight's Deal:
Stygian Wurm (x1): A seemingly unimpressive pet, trapped within a jar of dirt and leaves. When released, the wurm becomes attracted to strong spiritual power, and latches on to the most powerful figure in the area. When the wurm burrows into one's spirit, it merges with their Persona/Demonic side/etc., becoming a leech that feeds on the inner power of the victim. This parasite causes the victim to suffer great pain whenever they use their inner power, and slowly devours the Personification of their power, lowering all their stats slightly. However, if the user chooses to take certain pills, they may suppress the pain and draw out more power than their normal limit...but will have a 1 in 10 chance of their power going berserk on them, instead.
Death Crystal: Iunno. Arena chooses what it does! Even DEATH. 8D
Winner:
Acheron Witch's Nightmare(x1): A chime whose sound causes the ears of all creatures who hear it to ache. When used, the Chime drags a chosen victim (or small group, if they are together within earshot) into the world of the user's inner mind...a Shadow's Dungeon, or a Demonic Domain. In order to escape the labyrinthine trap, they must defeat the Boss (which the user can design as either a Powerful Shadow, or a Great Demon), as well as whatever numerous traps may lead to the end. When the Nightmare ends, they will return to the exact place and time they were at when it began...assuming they escape alive, of course.
Low Skill Expansion Pack: Grants the user 3 randomly generated low level skills.
Winner:
Medea's Aphrodisiac (x1): The royal knife belong to a cursed queen punished for her sincere love...it's blade is dipped in a magical poison that allows only the smallest incision to be made. Once the user parts the flesh of another, the victim quickly gains feelings for the user...growing over the course of time.
When struck, the two begin to form a Tragedy Social Link. In the course of 5 days (in Guild Time), the two begin to fall in love with one another, slowly altering the victim's soul. The change is slow, and nearly unnoticeable at first, but can be accelerated by meetings between the two. Moreover, the two must not be aligned already, as the blade was originally a curse. On the first day, their Social Link may increase by 1. On the second day, it will increase by 1 again. On the third, the temptation begins to accelerate, and the Social Link raises by 2. On the Fourth and Fifth days, the Social Link will raise by 3 each, until reaching 10. The Social Link may be accelerated by earning a natural level in it each day, as well. At this point, the two will come together to be "wed"...and unless the Bonds formed by one party or another are able to convince them to forego their new union, at the end of the ceremony, the Social Link will max once and for all. When it does, a Shadow (or Demon) will be born from the warped personality of the former victim, and must be defeated...lest it seek some shell to sustain the personality the victim once had.
Lifetime Supply of Ciela Mist: Not Cielo! Named for a certain Kuzunoha...what's that about?
Winner:
Hostages(x3): If you don't buy them, they die! Woo hoo! Not to put any pressure on or anything, but the clock is ticking!
Shadow Attack: You'll get attacked by a Shadow! It's a bit of a pushover though.
Winner:

[Daily Progression]
[9/15] Dark Hour -> [9/16] Early Morning
A long day at the school Festival comes to a rousing conclusion with the surprise concert by the famous pop-rock band Nyx and the bonfire at Yasogami High School. It was a wonderfully-entertaining, and surprisingly peaceful day amid a sea of chaos enveloping the Supernatural Hotbed in Inaba. Mecha-T-Rexes aside, it was a day of relaxation...a day to take stock...a day to begin to look towards the future.
...
But the P1-Climax is not yet done...
...
...You are tired. You fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow...
...For some, a strange dream takes over...
(Time marches onward!) Sunday Morning... September 16th, 2012. It is a bright and sunny Sunday, the rain and the fog of the previous days a distant memory.
...
There is no school today.
Rumors abound this morning about the strange patient delivered to the hospital by a famous musician in the wee hours of the night, the night before. It is not expected he will survive his wounds... Many doctors and nurses have been seen coming and going from the long-term, in-patient wing of the hospital this morning. Could something more than that have happened with one of the patients?
It is now, Early Morning...

[9/16] Early Morning -> [9/16] Daytime
Time marches forward, and for the members of the Investigation Team an unusually peaceful day has thus far only seen the occasional bout of weirdness or danger. But for other people around the Supernatural Hotbed, the day continues to heat up...with a strange Funhouse rumor spreading around the town, perhaps to have the true horror of it unveiled later, during the Dark Hour? The Embryon's morning has been eventful, but may grow even more so with the specter of nepotism's dark reward looming just beyond their walls.
Time goes by. The town continues to brew with chaos just below the surface. Murders, attacks, kidnappings, and more...and for the people who bravely fight against those twisted eventualities...a moment to take a breath and prepare. The deep plunge into chaos is soon to come...

And only more danger awaits as the night begins to fall, the sun slowly dipping towards the horizon...the sky painted pastel colors as the unease of dark crawls over them all.
Something wicked this way comes...innocent lives hang in the balance, and the heroes of the small town are called upon again to overcome an impossible trial. But evil is ever-growing, ever-evolving...what unknown threat awaits just beyond sight, deep within the shadows...?

September 16, 2012. Inaba Skyline  * ~:: Shadows in the Sky - Junes Superstore, Inaba [Evening]::~ *"The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men..."Evening had come in the town of Inaba, and as the people went about their night, many things had begun to stir in the dark. Things which had long been overlooked, cultivating in the shadows, had begun to move...and as the quiet day continued for those who did not know...for those who were not so ignorant, a warning was about to come.
...It was in the sky above them, a sudden flash of dark violet and eerie pink and gold, the origin of the sky's strange change in hue tracked to the richest of the colors in the sky just above the Superstore of Junes. But as eyes followed the sudden flashes of color, which came now slowly...one after the other, in three second intervals...what they found wasn't the familiar skyline of Junes. Instead, with each unnatural change in color, flashing between light and dark, the rooftop of the superstore seemed to disappear...and in its place, visible in the evening sky for the first time...
...
It flashed again, for three seconds solid the figure of the eerie tower lingering in the night sky, almost as if to beckon those who knew what it meant to gather at its base. It threatened them with its presence, daring them to come...to explore...and then, just as the tower began to fade, it flashed one last time and remained strong in the sky, a monolith against an otherwise monotone town sky, ringed with a pulsating aura of that rich, royal violet and the sinister pink and gold from before...
And then, against the walls of the tower, a symbol...flashing just for a moment...
...A hint...or an omen? Whatever it was, just as soon as it flashed in it was gone...and with it, the tower disappeared and the superstore of Junes returned. But it was evening and not the Dark Hour, and something terrifying was brewing at the heart of the small town of Inaba. Was it a warning? An invitation? For those who saw it, perhaps, it was simply a challenge...bait to invite them to explore.
...
The Investigation Team has seen this unnatural invitation, and now must choose...whether to respond to the looming threat, this new development, or to ignore it. ...No, the answer to that question is obvious. They cannot ignore such a thing, something which threatens the status quo of their mission against the Messiahs, the encroachment of the shadows within their world. Like the fog which had unnaturally seeped into their world from the television before, now...could the Tower be doing the same?
...
You feel uneasy...but you also cannot ignore the Tower. Lured by this unnatural image, the Investigation Team members in Inaba begin to assemble in the Lobby of Junes.

Persona 4: FES - The Golden
::Changing Seasons::
(Introducing: The Universe!) 
::The King of the Multiverse and Administrator of All Creation, the Wise, Handsome, and Mighty Igni::"Don't look to me for your pithy quote of wisdom here, mortal! Get motivated and come up with your own already!""Right, so, this probably isn't the way you imagined this...but hey, what's life without surprises?
Greetings, mortals! Humans, rather, in this case...you're a specific bunch of mortals, and...sorry, off-topic. It's easy to lose track of time when you literally CONTROL time, but I suppose you guys wouldn't know about that now, would you? ...Where was I? Oh, yes! Greetings, mortals! Humans...there I go again.
Anyway, I...am your God! Bow before me!
...
...Are you bowing? Oh man, some of you are really bowing! That's just...well, you know, probably appropriate I guess, but it's also kind of rich...
...
Right, so...I am kind of your god, but being all godly and such really isn't my bag...and I'm really only just one God...the biggest and best of course...but there ARE others, and...hold on, I'm mucking this all up aren't I? Not that you'll know, because I can just erase this from your memories if I want to...
Are you listening? You should probably be writing this down, so I'll wait while you grab a pen and paper.
...
...
*coughs*
Greetings. I'm speaking to you all both as a collective and individually from the Heart of the Universe! You might refer to it as the center of the Corridor, and myself as the keeper of the Akashic Record, but those are mere human terms which can't do justice to the awe-inspiring presence that I am. For you see, I am none other than he who reigns at the Throne of all things, the writer of the history of this and every universe.
My name, you see, is Igni. And I am the King of the Multiverse, Administrator of the 12 Universes...Universii? ...You never really think of how to pluralize something until you know there can be more than one, huh? But I am the Multiverse King, and you may refer to me as such...or Lord Igni, if you prefer. And I come today at the height of the chaos within your world to speak to you and deliver a message.
This is not a reprieve, nor is it a condemnation. I am not here to destroy or save your world, for salvation is the duty of the world itself...although destruction, well...that's someone else you'll meet soon enough. What I am here to do is grant you all one...small act of favor, in recognition of the rapid growth of power, skill, and technology that has caused your Universe 10 to stand out among the Cosmos.
You see...being the Administrator of Worlds can be a bit...well, boring at times. And I don't like to be bored. You guys, though, you guys are way more interesting than a lot of other worlds, and I think that's something worthy of rewarding.
...Hear that? You're being rewarded by the God above all things! ...Feel free to praise me, if you like. *smirks proudly*
...Done praising? No? Well, wrap it up, then...I'll wait.
...
Now, your boon! In recognition of your achievements as a world I have decided to offer you both a gift and an opportunity...the latter of which you probably don't really want to say no to, because, you know...I AM the Administrator of Worlds and while I'm not saying you have to do it...it really doesn't strike me, personally, as a good idea to say 'no' to a guy who can delete your entire universe's existence in the blink of an eye. Just sayin'.
...
The boon, however, you will definitely appreciate! So let's get to that, first. As thanks for the interest you've brought to me as an observer, and as recognition that not all can be chaos all the time, I have chosen as the Administrator of Worlds to grant you all a small...reprieve.
Eighty-five days.
That's the amount of time I will give you.
By the Decree of the Multiverse King, enforced by my chosen God of Universe 10, there shall be no supernatural conflict in the world of Earth within the 10th Universe under my Administration for 85 Days. Anyone who chooses to ignore or break this taboo is subject to destruction via the Lord of Universe 10, and/or deletion from time itself by me.
...So you know, just be good kids, k? *smile*
...
As for the opportunity, you'll be hearing a lot about that very shortly. I can tell you now that I'm very excited about it...
...
Oh, the 10th Universe, you ask? That's yours. ...You didn't realize there was more than one?
It's a story for another time, but since you asked, there are 12 Universes in existence...formerly 13, but don't ask what happened to the 13th. It was rubbish.
Each Universe exists under my administration and under the protection of a hand-picked God of my choice. This is the order of the universe...if you intend to expand your knowledge to the cosmic and learn about the realm beyond your own, you would do well to remember that.
...
If you have any questions, I will likely be seeing you all very soon...so ask them then!
But until then, think about what you have just learned. It can be the most important moment in the history of a civilization to learn that there is an existence, a realm, worlds and universes beyond your own...and I know that the urge to explore and study that which you do not know will be great. Do not overreach, humans...this is a boon, but it can be taken from you just as easily.
And anyway, who would want to go to one of those other universes anyway when Universe 10 and 3 have ALL the best foods?!
...
*cough*
This has been the King of All Creation, your Multiverse King...
And I will be seeing you all again very soon...
Enjoy this time of peace, for very soon greater trials and larger dangers may be coming your way...''Present Day 85 Days...
That is what was promised by the Multiverse King, a peacetime lasting 85 Days, and by some miracle of fate or perhaps the truthful and omnipotent administration of the Gods, no major conflicts or terrible tragedies broke the peace in the time that had been promised.
The world, on that day 85 nights past...or at least the world which had become aware of the supernatural...became further aware of the existence of the great beyond, the extent of existence which had for all mankind's lifespan remained outside of their knowledge. 12 Universes...12 Unthinkably powerful Gods watching over each world...and above them all, the King of All Creation, The Multiverse King, Igni. Many who have learned of this truth have reacted with wonder and awe, and many have been gripped by nerves, fear, or some measure of understandable anger. But for those who have been visited by or met in their own time the deity in question, the only way they can describe him is...
...Unusual. But perhaps, that is better than uncaring?
...
85 Days now have passed without incident...but today, on the 12th of December, just 13 days shy of Christmas Day...
The normal progression of time, and the conflicts of the world around them, have begun once more. Though how the knowledge of a greater expanse of universe beyond our own changes the goals of those now in the know remains a mystery to be uncovered...
...How will you response when the Multiverse King comes calling on you?
...
The Winter Semester of Classes draws to a close, with Final Exams having just ended. There are no classes today or for the rest of the week, but there is a Closing Ceremony on Saturday that students are asked to attend.
...
Christmas is close...and after, the New Year. Is this the dawn of the climax of the conflict in and around the Inaba area? Or is the New Year only the signal for a new beginning?
...
You awaken on December 12th refreshed, almost relaxed...peace has given you time to think, to restore your spirits. You know what threats are on the horizon...but this time, you feel more ready than ever to face them.
...This time, you will face the truth with your eyes wide open.
...
And as for the Investigation Team in particular, they greet this day with an unusual optimism...
...For they rise on the 12th with a plan to enjoy themselves one more time. For a trip has been planned on Thursday, the 13th...to last until late night on the 14th...before returning home for the Closing Ceremony on the 15th. It is a trip that has been in the works for over a month now, masterminded by none other than Amagai Genji and Soji Seta for the Team to get away from Inaba and enjoy their last days of peace before the end of the 'ceasefire'.
A trip...to a ski resort in the mountains far outside of town! And every one of their friends are invited to join in! Calendar Today is:

Snow falls on Inaba.
The peaceful days of Lord Igni's Ceasefire have mostly continued through the morning, but many dangers loom on the horizon...sleeping giants awaken, and a greater threat than any yet, perhaps, could be waiting in the darkness for the right time to strike.
For now, however, a comfortable quiet rests throughout the town...and the Ski Trip awaits the Investigation Team tomorrow as Genji and Soji work out the final details for lodging, transportation, and the lodge.
The day moves forward...dawn breaks into morning, morning gives way to the afternoon...and night will be here before you know it.

[12/12] Afternoon -> [12/13] Morning
Snow continues to fall...
The first night since the end of the ceasefire passes without major incident, and the Investigation Team gathers the following morning in front of Junes to prepare for the ride to the Mountaintop Resort where they will be spending the next day, night, and part of the following day skiing, relaxing, and enjoying the crisp high-rising air. When the team arrives, a bus rented by Amagai Danzo (Genji's Father) awaits them...gathering as many Team Members and guests as are intending to go before leaving at Dawn for their destination.
By morning, the team had arrived at their home away from home for the night...a beautiful mountaintop retreat.
The resort is set atop a snow-covered mountain with courses for beginner, advanced, and professional-level skiers, snowboarders, and the like. Within the resort is a massive lobby/commons area with couches, rugs, and a roaring fire to keep the concourse plenty toasty for those guests coming out of the cold. In either wing of the resort are the [Girls' Rooms'] and the [Boys' Rooms], separated this time by request of Amagai Danzo, whose connections have secured the Lodge for the Team alone for the day. Near to the Girls' Dorms are men's and women's hot springs, separated by a divider tall enough to make peeking a difficult idea to entertain.
It is, by all accounts, an idyllic location...and it is all theirs for the next 24 hours.
...A new adventure begins!

*~::Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4:FES - The Golden:~*
[Dark Hour]
Quote: ::Zaz's Terrifying Commodities!::Suddenly a new image blasts on screen with a cacophonous roar of music, an upkick of background tunes, and a stream of blood red confetti from on high! At first, the switch-a-roo is jarring, but after a few seconds a familiar and catchy tune begins playing. The camera rapidly rotates around a man with unnatural white skin and rainbow colored clothing, his undershirt and tie changed to an absurd combination of green and purple that just screams 'You'll be wearing this next Fall!'. The figure turns, grinning at the camera with a jagged and unusual smile and leering golden eyes that pierce into your soul! It's Zazi, the infamous scientist and the monstrous host of the commodities show where people are able to purchase dangerous odds and ends.
"Goooooood evening everyone, I'm your host Zaaaaazi!! " There was no more interference as the scarred, golden eyed individual cackled. "- and this is MY Eagerly Awaited Terrifying Commodities! Our prices are nothing to laugh at! No one's apathetic when they see THESE low prices!" The theme song plays again as the camera focuses in on the sinister "Mime's" grin, and he points at the camera knowingly, giving another wink to the crowd. Static fills the screen for several seconds, and a strange cackle fills the air before being cut off as the program snaps back onto the tube. "Lets bring out our first item of the day! A favorite of mine, iiiit's Digidem (x1)! It slices, it dices, it does everything you could want!! Nasty nobodies blocking an alley? Knock 'em off! Nosy neighbors? Not on my watch!! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeeess! Buuuuut wait, there's more. Call now, and we'll throw in Highest Cut Armor (x1)! Going now, for a mere 5,000,000,000g (or the highest offer)!" The camera slowly focused in on a high tech phone on a stand in the center of the stage, and on the screen a cute eight bit sprite waved back, red claws blinking alongside red eyes. The phone almost seemed alive, and the model was nothing to sneeze at considering how new it was but...something seemed odd about the whole purchase. A skippy, upbeat tune played as the name flashed over the television in wide, colorful letters, emphasizing the item once again.
"Or if you're looking for an item that's a little clingier, we've got just the thing for you! Lets bring out our second item of the day! Iiiiit's the Shadow of Carmentes (x1)! Keep it as a pet, give it to a friend, but if you do, you're friendship's met its end! Isn't this guy just adorable though? Whosagoodboy? Yousagoodboy!" The camera energetically flew by Zazias he did a small step to the side and jig as he swung his fingers back and forth, getting in to the program. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeess! But wait, there's more! Buy now and you can get Inferno Gems (x3)! Hitting friends and enemies, wassatallabout? And all this for the loooow price of 2,000,000,000g! Call now, because supplies are limited."
The camera suddenly cut through a series of shots of the stage from various directions, with black hands seeming to creep over the edge of the television screen just before it cut away each time. The music kicked up a notch one last time as a hurricane of techno-surprise music erupted and Zazi thrust a finger at the camera. "Arrrre you ready? Then leeeeets bring out our third item of the day! You lucky Chucks are gonna love this item, it's a set!Collective Unconsciousness Melding Armbands! (x2)! Ooh, I can feel your greed spilling out already...that's okay, take that excess and just slam it into another person's brain! Bzzzzt, splorg, and what are the results? Even I don't know! Ahahahaha! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulness! But wait, there's more. Call now and we'll throw in Synthesis Rings (x2)! Who doesn't just looove being in the presence of an ally? Me, that's who, so I'm clearing out the closet! This one gets our special rate of 10,000,000,000g! Call in, and be rewaaarded!"
A round of cheers filled the air and the view panned over the crowd hidden in darkness. Many hands raised and clapped above what must have been the audience, cheering on the telemarketing show with an unnatural vigor. The Shadows seemed incredibly riled, and yet almost acted like servants gleefully bowing to the host...a testament to whatever new power he'd found. "And now we get to rock our fourth item of the day! Feast your eyes on an old relic any collector'd love to get their hands on...iiiit's the Stone of Lipsis (x1)! It's a power just to DIE for, but who says you'd be the one doing the dying? Ahahaha! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeess! But wait, there's more! Buy now and you can get either an Essence of Pixie (x1) or Essence of Shadow (x1)! The total for this comes up to a minute 1,000,000,000g! We are living our lives, abound with so much information; so why not reach out to the True something or other? Call now, because supplies are liiimited!" The program music aired again as room opened up for callers, and the camera made sure to get the broadcaster's good side as he awaited the incoming calls at 1-555-(9193).
The rhythmic music aired again, and the camera panned over and by the smiling host, who could barely be called human anymore. As it did he did a small spin in place and extended a hand towards a beautiful coworker who giggled and blushed at his offer to come on stage, before her eyes turned red and she faded back into the crowd, reminding all that crowd and stage hands alike were likely Shadows and monsters of the most vile order...and yet, the host only smiled all the more pleasantly. "And for our final number of the night, lets bring out the ultimate Auction item! Iiiiit's an old one, straight out of a good friend's personal collection! It says here it's the Axe of Desttiiiiiny! But lets just call it the Atom Splitting Axe (x1) for short! Oh my goooodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeesss! But wait, there's more! Call now, and we'll throw in Life Crystal (x1)! For a measly 3,000,000,000g, who wouldn't want to cough up the cash? It's the opportunity of a liiiifetiiiimeeee!"
A few moments later a loud jingle rang through the studio, and Zazi let out a small chuckle, turning to the camera. "That's it folks, we're aaaaall sold out! Tune in tomorrow night for more Terrifying Commodities! Same time, same Midnight Channel!" The theme began to play again as the camera faded out, and the lyrics hollowly rang out. 'Granter of your inner desiiiires! It's a terrifying tiiiime, at Zazi's Commodities! It's a horrible stoooore, all full of niiightmaaaares~!''
And just like that, the television clicked off again, as the Midnight Channel's programming ended...though what this new bargain show portended too, each viewer could only guess. Except unbeatable prices and out-of-this-world deals, of course! Those were a guarantee. Quote: Tanazi's Screwy Commodities Each night at Midnight, the Host is willing to part with two rare items from his mysterious coffers! Only one of each item is available unless otherwise stated, and they're sure to be potent, so make sure to buy quickly! In order to purchase an item, send a PM with the preferred item to Arena_Emperor and a bid above the listed price, and the winner will be notified in course. The highest bid on each item will obtain the item. Tonight's Deal:
Digidem (x1): A Digital Demon Application, or a demon who gained sentience amidst the data server that transfers Demons when they're summoned via the Demon Summoning App. This digital demon lost it's original body in return for this sentience, and suffered a veritable eternity amidst cyberspace before finally gaining some form of agency again; the ability to prey on the data of other demons like a virus, restoring itself by consuming their power. This demon latches on to a Demon Summoning App, and consumes the Starter Demon lying dormant within. From this is born a Stage One Fragmented Demon, whose power is slightly weaker than the original host (-10 levels or so). After this, predating on another dormant Demon from either the user's App or someone else's will cause the demon to grow into a Second Stage Master-At-Arms, equivalent to the stronger of the two demons (their skills will reach the levels of the higher demon as well, and they will form a dormant Hoshoku Weapon). Depending on the last choice, at the Third Stage the demon either consumes the Final Demon in the user's App or one from another person's possession, becoming a Demon King level creature. In this form, the Shiryo Weapon awakens and gives the demon one Unique Skill, while raising the level of the demon's skills as well. (Low skills can be replaced with Medium, and so on.) The demon is considered level 70 at this point, or up to ten levels higher if the demon consumed was stronger than that (even if they were weakened at the time). For the final stage, the Digital Demon will seek to reach the Apocalypse Level, and must predate a Demon from the Tier List or of a level of power so comparable as to be obvious...even by absorbing power through other gifts or rewards, its true form would never awaken otherwise. The Demon acquires one Restricted Skill from the Skill List, and the Shiryo awakens to one more Unique Skill that must be a Finisher of some kind. Of note, at each stage the Demon's body should change significantly, transforming into an amalgamation of the two creatures it predated...after all, one does not grow a monster, without assuming it's form in some fashion.
Extra Items: Highest Cut Armor! You know the drill at this point. No shame, no gain!
Winner: (Necro character to be decided) for 30 Billion Gold
Shadow of Carmentes (x1): This curse-like Shadow, a pet project named after the Roman gods of the Past and Future, is made from knowledge of a forbidden and annihilated timeline. The data was distilled into a Shadow that feels only anguish, perhaps aware of it's unnatural presence in this world. If unleashed on another person, it will latch on and begin awakening them to their fate in that dark future brought upon by Zazi. Their Persona or Shadow will begin to look corroded as their present day personality is eaten away at by memories...of betrayal, of things they did to others to survive, and of detachment. As days pass in the RP, they will become more apathetic, attempting to force those close to them away, as they are torn apart from their bonds. Social Links will decay, one level of one chosen Social Link per day (interacting with others will cause it to deteriorate faster, causing 2 levels or rarely more), and as the Social Links lessen their Persona will lose all strength as well, until they are reduced to a Normal Citizen. The only antivirus for this leech of a Shadow lies in your luxurious host's hands, and finding it...ooh hoo hoo, well lets just say, Zazi will be waiting. Even then, if the Shadow is unable to be removed before it completely corrodes the Inner Self, or if the cure is used too late, the person will forget great swathes of these last few months and be forced to start from scratch...an amnesiac to the recent Supernatural Events of Japan, with new possibilities to awaken; or perhaps none at all? After all, who knows what remains of a person, once their soul has been reduced to a tattered remnant of its former self. Sometimes, being plagued by nightmares is a sign...karma of a world that yearns to be, that would destroy the future...and of suffering that is better left forgotten.
Extra Items: Inferno Gem (x3)! Use it to melt your friend's face off! Oh, and enemies too I suppose.
Winner: Akaito for 20 Billion, and Arena must make a New Character
Collective Unconsciousness Melding Armbands! (x2): A pair of arm bands with straight forward, but terrifying powers. While equipped, the two holders can call out to one another and transfer an immense amount of power into the cloth. Their bodies will begin to disintegrate, and the data that pours out from them will combine together to form one DNA-Merged being. The DNA-Merged will have physical characteristics from both of the parties used, and be stronger and smarter than either would be individually. Any who know the two who fused might be surprised that the personality of the DNA-Merged may not entirely reflect the two who created it, though perhaps because certain aspects they normally hide have been heightened and their fusion has given them the confidence more...or perhaps as a merging of two polarized ideals. Who can say entirely, without seeing how the Merged acts for themselves? The Merged will often be of the higher level of the two who combine, plus one Tier, and their elemental affinity and Arcana inclination will trend towards a median of the two. (For elements, they are represented in order as: Physical, Wind, Fire, Electricity, Water, Ice, Earth, Gravity, Nuclear, and Almighty. When fused, the element closest to the center of the two will be chosen...so if Wind and Nuclear were chosen, then either Water or Ice would be the Merged's affinity. Obviously, this means elements on the ends of the spectrum are rarer, and dependent on the individuals. If two elements are available, like in the example, the Merged may choose which to use after opening it's eyes for the first time. If the individuals Merging have a main elemental affinity, and secondary elemental affinity, than this will be done main-to-main and secondary-to-secondary, and the results are its Primary and Secondary elements.) Aside from this, the Merged may choose one very high, and two high skills to meet its new power, as well as two skills from the skill list of each half of it. Finally, they may awaken a Unique Skill which, if the individuals had a Unique Skill, will have aspects of both combined within it. If not, then it will be an original, incredibly powerful Finisher...one so strong in fact, that a single use of this Unique Skill will end the Merging no matter what. Finally, the Merged requires incredible energy, and cannot be used at near death or for very long, lasting at most five turns of a battle. Also, the armbands are not character bound, although they will lose power for a day after use...meaning changing partners, preventing a character from wearing one, or stealing it entirely are only a few options to stop a powerful being from being born. And again, the Merged can rarely bring out the most extreme parts of a personality in some cases; a pair of everyday heroes could give birth to a Knight Templar, a couple of meek characters might give rise to a confident, blusterous hero and so on. So feel free to keep it simple, or tell us why 1 + 1 = 17. Get roleplay-y with it.
Extra Items: Synthesis Rings: A pair of rings that, when worn by two people, boost one of their stats that the two have agreed upon.
Winner: Faust for 130 Billion Gold
Stone of Lipsis (x1): A stone taken from the ruins of a burned down Rome, and brought to Japan by a certain insane scientist on the run from the Kirijo Corp. The stone was made to bring out the truest nature of humanity, but a curse placed upon it caused its creators to meet a fiery end. When consumed, the Stone of Lipsis causes one to change down to the very soul...and over the course of ten posts, their race transforms entirely. One awakened to the power of Personas and Shadows will become a fusion of flesh and psyche, with their right arm turned black and inhuman...and if they consume Shadows, they will turn into a Shadow themselves. A few Shadows could make them stay that way for days...many could cause the corruption to spread up their body, transforming into a Shadow entirely. And if one were to become too gluttonous (because, if you just want to as an RPer), they will become a Shadow permanently. During the day they will become weak and sickly, often coughing while faced with greatly weakened power...but during the Dark Hour, their eyes will turn red with black scelera, and darkness will ebb from thin parts of their body such as around the eye sockets. At this time, they may transform into their new body, revealing their new and immense powers. Of course, by this point their old self is a distance memory; their race is Shadow, and they will never be a human again.
Conversely, if an unawakened person or wielder of Demons were to use it, their soul would begin to multiply and blacken itself, spreading outward from their body. Like the other possibility, their arm will begin to shed its skin and turn demonic, revealing a deadly power held within that can consume other Demons. After just a few, their shell will transform into that of a Demon, and the human who once existed will be a thing of the past. If stopped and purified then, before it is too late, the Demon born of their soul could be banished and the person returned to who they once were, albeit powerless...but if they continue to grow beyond that (again, basically if the RPer decides), they will become a true Demon and gain an array of abilities that represent their true and dark nature; whether violent, greedy, or what have you. The human that once existed will be gone, and during the day they will never be able to completely transform back to their human self, with remnants like a corrupted arm or scarred eyes remaining...but they might be able to make a passable form, to those who don't look too closely at least. As a Demon, their power will be sensible by Devil Summoners and those who have similar abilities, but...is that such a price to pay, to transcend humanity?
The awakened arm of either partial arm, just after the Stone of Lipsis is crushed within their hand, will grant them the ability Predatory Hunger (Demon/Shadow): Deals Very High Damage to creatures of (Demonic/Shadow) nature, and restores 5% of their health/SP.
Extra Items: Essence of (Pixie/Shadow)! A great starter kit for those just looking to get into the "Horrible, Inhuman Monster" thing.
Winner: (Arena), for 100 Billion and A-Character-To-Be-Made
Axe of Destiny! (Real Name: Atom Splitter Axe)(x1): There was once a Band of Demons that shook the world with their spirit, until their leader had his precious Axe taken away! Whoever wields this Axe, will wield unusually magnificent power...but you will also release the leader of the Demons back into the world, and he may Rock it to its very core! In case you haven't figured it out yet, the Axe is a demonic blade capable of being either a deadly battle axe, or a guitar. And the leader of the Demons is...well, he is willing to part with it, so long as someone is willing to spend money on this autographed weapon of destruction. As a guitar, the instrument can't be used to block or deflect attacks without breaking, but is capable of inflicting the Puppet status on all those who hear it with 1/8 odds. Characters with the Puppet status cannot attack the wielder, and must roll each turn to determine whether they Attack Ally, Use Powers On Ally, Attack Self, Hesitate, Hesitate, or Cure Enemy. When a Power is used against allies, RNG from your Skill List to decide what is used. The status can only be removed by using an All Status clearing skill, or by knocking the character out. In the one handed axe form, on the other hand, the blade's edge takes on a hot red edge, and will do High Physical Damage, with a 1/4 chance of inflicting Bleeding. Bleeding causes 5% damage per turn, and prevents Regen abilities until healed. (Either an all status healing spell, or something that specifies Bleeding, must be used.)
Extra Items: Life Gem (x1)! It could do anything...even grant you life! (Details randomly generated by Arena on time of use.)
Winner: (Rednal character) for 50 Billion Gold, and Unkeepable Promises To Stop Hugging The Bomb In OJ100%.

Quote: *~::Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4:FES - The Golden:~*
[Daily Progression]
[12/13] Morning -> [12/13] Evening
Snow continues to fall...
The day has passed on the mountain, but as the sun goes down and the stars come out atop the snow-crowned getaway for the members of the Investigation Team and friends who have gathered, the night proves far from over. Gathering in the lodge around the fireplace, in the resort's hot springs, in rooms, and in the dining room, the fun continues even as the Dark Hour creeps ever-closer.
Elsewhere, great rumors of deeds done in the dark and yet to be done by a gathering of strong willpower begin to fill the streets of a city far off...but to the friends spending the night of their vacation together upon the mountain, that is of little note or consequence.
...
A strange program airs at midnight...but ever on, the night continues.
(Time marches onward!)
It is now Evening!

P4: FES - The Golden Presents..."Persona 5: FES - The Phantom Thieves and the City of the Sun"(A New Persona 5 Role-Play within the P4:FES - The Golden World!)Present Day It's been two months since the Phantom Thieves began to fade from the public consciousness and the truth about the Psychotic Breakdown Murders came to light...Representative Masayoshi Shido has been imprisoned and at long last, the hero who saved the country was released from prison to return to his friends and the normal life that for so long had seemed to elude him. The legacy of the Phantom Thieves, however, remain...even as their memory and very existence seem to be fading into memory. The past year had left Tokyo reeling...between the psychotic breakdowns, the death of the Emperor, the rise of the Phantom Thieves, and the sudden election and the fall of the man who would have been Prime Minister, it seemed as though it might be on the brink of hopelessness and ruin...but against all odds, the Phantom Thieves succeeded in restoring Hope to the hopeless, justice to the society that rejected them, and truth to the darkness that had long been forgotten. They had won their unfair game against all odds, and defeated the true enemy behind it all...and their story, at least for now, is now comfortably within its epilogue...for now.
But nearly two months ago as well, during a night when the Phantom Thieves made their most shocking announcement and declaration of rebellion against then-candidate Shido, near the end of the tale of the Phantom Thieves, another story was only just beginning...a story of lost hope, of rejection, and of finding solace and belonging in one another. A story of fighting against the injustice of society and finding others who share your aesthetic...a story of a new set of Phantom Thieves who rebel against corruption. But their enemy was not Shido, nor was it a god seeking Control and Domination. Their enemy was hidden in plain sight, a hero and a villain of the highest order...and the ruler of the greatest single Palace that has been or will likely ever be.
This is the story of how these dark heroes and heroines set foot out of the shadows and into the City of the Sun...and together, brought down a great man who fancied himself a God.
This is the story of 'Illa Phasmas'...the second coming of the Phantom Thieves. Calendar Today is:
[Thursday, December 13, 2012]Please refer to this link to view information on your calendar. Quote: The Persona 5 RP and the new Tokyo SubForum, as well as the PhanSite are now open! You may begin posting at the conclusion of the Prologue!

P4: FES - The Golden Presents..."Persona 5: FES - The Phantom Thieves and the City of the Sun"(End of Prologue...)Present Day Two months have passed since that fateful day in October when Shiori Niko, Narumi Chell, and Usaji Azai awakened to their Personas in that holding cell at the Shibuya Police Department. Their ill fortune at one man's overzealous attempt to apprehend the Phantom Thieves landing them in that cell had been more than offset by their accidental introduction into the world known as the Metaverse and the discovery of their rebellious spirits, the Persona. In the time that has passed since then, Masayoshi Shido's heart has changed, he has been tried and he has been convicted of many of the crimes to which he has already confessed. A lesser-known story that took place in the same time frame was the sudden confession of crimes by Officer Norio Ogasawara, a hero police from the streets of Shibuya, mostly flew under the radar with news about the fallen Prime Minister and the strange ignorance of the people towards what that meant occupying the general consciousness. It was all a bit weird, the trio f newly-awakened Persona-users thought, but in the days that came after, stranger things were afoot...
...But strangely, these happenings went unnoticed by the trio of newly-awakened Persona-users. The encroachment of Mementos into the real world and the rise of the God of Control Jaldabaoth were perhaps unnaturally hidden from their sight, and the final battle of the first Phantom Thieves, "La Memoire", slipped under the radar of their spiritual successors. Time passed as normal for them, and though the Metaverse App faded from the phones and the Metaverse itself seemed to have disappeared to their predecessors, Shiori, Saji, and Chell's Apps remained. A series of strange occurrences that were, to the trio, not all that strange for they had no point of reference to notice the changes...and what might have alerted them to it remained hidden. And so it was that on Halloween Eve, unknown to the members of "Illa Phasmas", the original Phantom Thieves defeated a God of Control...and the mantle of the 'Phantom Thieves' passed on, unofficially, to them. And the story of the Metaverse, of Personas and Shadows, and of gods and men toying with the hearts of others...became their own.
...
Nearly one month later, on the 1st of December, unknown to many and the new Phantom Thieves, a young man was released from an unjust imprisonment. But the new Phantom Thieves were more concerned with the fact that not a single major Palace seemed to have appeared in the days since their battle against the 'Vigilante Hunter'. They remembered the struggle, the feeling of contentment and satisfaction that changing an evil man's heart and forcing him to confess to his crimes had given them...and together with the adults on their side, they continued to await the opportunity to use their new talents once more. They remembered their unjust imprisonment, and the indignant anger they felt that day, and the defeated look on the face of that abnormally large teen as he was hauled into the cell as they were escorted out by Mado-sensei...and if they could help others like that, to be free of unjust oppression, to give them hope...they knew that they had to do it. Just like the Phantom Thieves before them...
...
Nearly two weeks have passed since that day now, and with the memory of "La Memoire" beginning to fade just a bit from the public consciousness, and with their frustration at the latency of their powers and their desire to change society growing by the day, "Illa Phasmas" resolve to look for new means of obtaining targets...
...
They say that even today the PhanSite still receives requests from those who wish for a change of heart to save them.
...
Time resumes...and the Game Begins once more... Calendar Today is:
