oops I put way too much into the background of this. And yeah! I'm gonna try to do a few things for Gaeric week, I thought it sounded fun. This one's based off a headcanon I have; when Akari/Dawn goes to face you-know-who at the top of Mount Coronet, a massive storm covers the entire Hisui region.

So, P3R.

This is an interesting experience for me, because, remember, I’ve never actually played 3 or 4. Just 5s and Qs. I was an anime person. So I know what I’m getting into, but not all the details.

And so far, it’s fascinating. Where I stopped, it’s April 20-something, the world is not ending (yet), and Minato is both having and not having a time.

First of all, the game opens with a warning about the heavy themes of suicide, among other things. Which I do think is appropriate. What happened with Shiho in P5 is horrible, but it was one event, with a mostly-positive outcome in the end. Shiho was okay, she got better. Suicide is a much more... prominent? theme in this story, and I know that can be too much for people.

Anyway.

It’s strange seeing this translated differently after so long of knowing “You will be given one year. Go forth without falter, with your heart as your guide.” God, I’ve been in this fandom for approaching eight years. When did that happen.

Always delightful to see how unconcerned Minato is with everything, even though they sort of imply later that he’s never experienced this before. I like to assume he’s lived most of his life with his own localized Dark Hour and has either never been out at midnight or just slept through it, so maybe he’s used to the green, but you’d think the coffins would raise some eyebrows at least.

Hello, baby boy. I dunno if it counts as choosing this fate of mine own free will if I don’t actually know what’s going on yet.

...I wonder if we ever get an answer about why he’s playing errand boy for Igor?

Ms. Toriumi mentions that Minato has lived in lots of different places, which definitely gives me the vibe of being passed around orphanages and foster families and distant relatives. He’s had a decade to internalize that he has nothing and no one.

It’s also hilarious to note how differently the opening of this is from P5, just from the perspective of like… Everyone is awkward, but well-meaning, and the primary rumor running around is about how you walked to school with Yukari and how there MUST be something between you. Like, random classmate, I have been in Iwatodai for MAYBE 9 hours and most of that was sleeping. We are not “close”.

But no one thinks I’m going to stab them! :D Sorry, Akira.

Also, I met the Female Student:

Walking around Gekkoukan is an experience, because I knew it was like a super-fancy private school, but it’s fucking enormous. Observatory? Indoor pool? MASSIVE entryway? Fancy courtyards?? All of it.

Time to leave school and go wander the town. The strip mall is mostly restaurants, which is cool. And I found something interesting in the back alley.

Red Hawk, huh? I gotta come back here, even though I don’t know how to play mahjong.

Weird having only 3 social stats to worry about, but I’m not gonna complain. Less burgers to scarf down to talk to one random adult. :P

Also weird that the command room has cameras in SEES’s bedrooms? Or just Minato’s, but like… Ikutsuki. Stop explaining the Dark Hour to two people who already know what’s going on and stop being a creeper watching me sleep.

After a blissful two days of school, the first full moon arrives, and Akihiko, darling dumbass, leads the magician directly back to the dorm.

The new Dark Hour screen is really cool.

And the Magician is awful. Like gloom hands if they were carrying knives. So, awful.

This entire cutscene is so pretty, though. Orpheus is beautiful, and then the part where he immediately gets shredded by Thanatos clawing out of him while he screams... The screenshots don’t do it justice. Orpheus explodes and then Thanatos kills the Magician in like ten seconds flat.

I love them.

That’s my future husband, Akihiko. Shush.

So Minato apparently passed out for a WEEK, and in the meantime, I checked out the trophy list. I dunno how to nurse a cat back to health yet, but there’s a trophy for it, and by god I will obtain it.

Yukari then proceeded to dump her entire backstory the instant Minato woke up. Which… at least she acknowledged that that was weird.

Ikutsuki wants to talk, to explain about the Dark Hour and ask us to join SEES, and I have to question Minato’s observational skills, because like…

Mina. Sweetheart. Beloved. You were just unconscious for a week after fighting a monster with a concept that ripped itself out of the manifestation of your soul. Extra hour is nothing.

But we’re part of SEES now! Meeting adjourned.

...sir, even if you weren’t you, I’d still want to punch you.

Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday. Time to go to bed and hopefully tomorrow I can explore Paulownia Mall. I wanna see how close it looks to what I was picturing.

...Minatooooo. I know the end is coming and you’re a sleepy mess, but come on. ALL DAY?

Whatever. Tartarus Time.

This teleporter makes me think of the teleporter in Xibalba/Ameno Torifune, and then I remember that the Kirijo Group broke off from SEBEC and probably took some of the blueprints and they’re probably manifesting in a similar way as the one in the ship.

OR I’m just looking for stuff to blowtorch. XDDD

Tartarus is really interesting, and I like it so far. It really does emphasize that the Thieves knew absolutely fuck-all about what was going on all the time, though. Mitsuru and Akihiko know what they’re doing. They’ve got a weapon supplier. They know how to fight. They know how to navigate. They’re explaining everything they know so far, and SEES is coordinated and functional.

Even Morgana was guessing on a lot of stuff. The Thieves were making it up as they went.

No wonder my Akira and Mitsuru are constantly butting heads. :P

After Tartarus, I went to sing karaoke by myself so I can be brave enough to go in Club Escapade, worked a shift at Chagall Cafe, and went to the Velvet Room to play with fusion.

...I mean yeah because Minato is the first Fool Wild Card, but Tatsuya is right there, canonically doing NG+.

It’s so weird to have Igor commenting on my menuing and prompting me for choices and like… doing his job. I’m so used to P5, it’s hysterical. But like… I’m glad he’s here. And the menu is nice.

Why are these arcade games $10-$15????????

Anyway, where I stopped, apparently I gotta go join the track team or something. I can’t picture Minato in organized sports, but whatever. XD I’m already flailing my way through my first social link, Kenji. I’m completely helpless. The realization that I don’t know this person, don’t know how he wants me to act, and also that he’s weird as heck was like getting smacked upside the head.

He’s going to ask out a teacher or something. Godspeed, my dude, but also like… why.

Actually, don’t tell me. I’m gonna go join the track team.

STAR WARS: THE SHATTERED TIMELINE

a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …

Paradox! When JEDI PADAWAN SHI’AL VALORUM travels to retrieve her stolen lightsaber from the SITH LORD SUTEK, she discovers that his late master DARTH SIDIOUS has MEDDLED WITH TIME ITSELF in an effort to clone the legendary JEDI GRANDMASTER YODA. Instead of producing a clone of Yoda affiliated with the DARK SIDE, however, Lord Sutek has summoned ANOTHER YODA from ANOTHER UNIVERSE.

Padawan Valorum returns home with her lightsaber and this second Yoda in tow, but her REAL QUEST has only JUST BEGUN. Thrown unceremoniously into a world where the JEDI ORDER was NEVER DESTROYED and where EMPEROR PALPATINE never reigned over the GALAXY, Yoda struggles to acclimate to this new timeline and is left floundering like a fish out of water.

If Yoda is to thrive in this new world, he must learn to TRUST AGAIN and befriend his other self. This is easier said than done, for even amidst the onset of a JEDI RENAISSANCE, darkness still lurks around every corner …

The last time that he saw the Jedi Temple, it was IN RUINS — and yet, here before him now this beloved house of worship stood, fully present just as he remembered in all its glory.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀Walking through the corridors of his former home was SURREAL. This had to be a dream. There was no other way to explain it. Trapped in a daze, Yoda ran a calloused hand along the Temple’s walls, breath hitching as his very soul was filled with its light. Chancellor Valorum’s daughter — and since when did his old friend have a daughter, let alone a Padawan Learner who had begun training in her twenties and wielded DARTH SIDIOUS’S LIGHTSABER? — kept glancing behind her to confirm her companion’s well-being, yet the old Grandmaster paid her nor the test subjects that she had rescued from Sutek no mind. What the species were of these individuals — may the Force bless their souls, for they were the ones who had broken him out of that Force forsaken test tube — he could not recall. This was a mystery he would solve later; all that mattered now was determining whether or not this was a dreamlike vision.

He had almost forgotten what it felt like when the Living Force was at peace, for his universe has been at war for so long.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ Wrong this is.” Yoda muttered to himself whilst his eyes darted anxiously around the achingly familiar space. Shi’al paused, turning around to gaze at her uncle figure with unabashed concern present upon her visage. “ Destroyed these hallowed halls were. Witness it firsthand I did. A lie or an illusion — a dream, or some form of an afterlife — this must be. ” The Valorum heiress merely shook her head, and the corners of her lips turned downwards into a frown as she continued about her merry way.

Whispers followed Shi’al and her entourage throughout their journey. Yoda strained to listen, in the hopes that the gossip of this day may perhaps fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle that was this peculiar world. Unfortunately, however, most of the whispers concerned HIM. The Jedi who crossed paths with Shi’al and her motley crew found themselves BAFFLED by him. “ He feels like Master Yoda in the Force, yet at the same time he doesn’t. ” Yoda overheard one confused Padawan mention to their Master. “ Yoda is happy, almost impossibly so. This man … this man feels sad. ”

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Hobbling along with the aid of his gimer staff, Yoda eventually came to a temporary rest when Shi’al stopped walking entirely, her visage lighting up in pure JOY. The padawan held up a hand, bringing the entire party to a halt. “ Wait here for a moment. I’ll get my master, and we’ll get to the bottom of all this. ” She instructed quietly, her tone gentle yet firm. Her eyes were fixated on a Master-Padawan duo up ahead, and Yoda startled slightly when he realized that he did not recognize these individuals either.

“ ALFIE! ” Her jubilant, childlike shout rang through the temple’s halls, garnering the attention of all who heard the cry. “ MASTER AURELIA! ”

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀Her mission was successful, and yet, she has gotten far more than she originally sought. Nevertheless, the wayward padawan has returned.

@factsfcrged said, "Ouch, that looks like it hurts."

over. was it over?

even as the large hand reached out to touch the side of her face, the adrenaline is still pumping through her system. running. so much running. did she need to start again? the thought perked her up and her gaze swiveled around all the flashing lights. white and black cars had the street blocked off right outside the venue she'd been playing at earlier in the evening.

" um, " teeth scrape at her lower bottom lip. fingers squeeze in tight fists at her sizes as if trying to will the wild thumping in her chest to stop long enough so she could breathe. a secondary pulse was on her right cheek, right about where knuckles had collided. the singer's lips part to say just that it wasn't a big deal at all when all her muscles froze up. a voice tickled the back of her neck.

just tell me where she is....

" ollie! " halston's head swiveled again as if just remembering about the danger her drummer, olivia, had been in.

little did any of them realize she'd been getting threatening letters at every one of their events. someone was leaving declarations of love in the bin that held all of the drumsticks for her kit. some had been placed in her dressing room. when the cops first started questioning her, halston learned there'd even been one in her mailbox at her apartment.

uncharacteristic rage had filled her, then. why hadn't olivia said anything? they could've gone to the police or figured out some way to set the drummer's mind at ease.

" is olivia okay? you have to find him. " frantic desperate words push her forward, nearly falling off the gurney she'd been sitting on. but, then, the drummer's voice wafts over the din of everything else. she was battered and bruised, just like halston, but they'd both managed to get away.

when halston's fingers squeezed again they weren't met with her palm. her head snaps down to find she'd grabbed on to the stranger's arms like he was a lifeline. yet, even while staring at her hands, willing them to let go, the singer found that she couldn't.

" i'm sorry, " she practically whispered towards his arms. " i'm just...i...he's gone, right? you caught him? "
