Phan Cam: A Violet Birthday Party

>March 25

NOTE: The reason we opened Violet and her sister’s gifts the day before was because we were so excited we got the date wrong. Their birthday is actually on the 25.

>Yongen-Jaya, Tokyo. We know we're in the middle of a heist, but we decided to come back to Japan to celebrate Violet's birthday as well as hers and Oracle's graduation from high school. We were having a party at the cafe me and Fox live above.

Happy Birthday!

Thank you, everyone. This is a great party.

I'm glad you like it, Sumire. You're welcome.

You have so many great friends, Sumire. You're very lucky.

Hey, don't let it be all about her. This is more than just her birthday party.

Yes, your graduation. Got any plans after high school?

Violet: Me and Futaba will be going to Tokyo University to be closer to our friends. I'm going on a gymnastics scholarship and Futaba on a computer scholarship.

Oracle: Well, I won't be going right away. I was hoping to do some further studying at Horizon High, but the school is gone now.

But thanks to Peter and the others, we have W.E.B.

Mr. Yoshizawa: (a bit confused) W.E.B.?

Crow: It stand for Worldwide Engineering Brigade. It was created to honor the spirit of Horizon High.

Oracle: I'll be spending two months there before going to Tokyo U. Then, I'll come back to finish the semester. It won't be easy because of the ongoing pandemic, but we'll see what we can do.

Right. Good luck, Futaba. You too, Sumire.

Thank you all.

Yes, thank you.

Alright, everyone, time for presents! Wait until you see what me and Akane got you. You’ll love it.

We thought real hard about what kind of gift you would like. Here you go.

Violet: Thank you.

Akane: I heard that Ghost Spider is friends with the Phantom Thieves. So we thought this jacket would be perfect.

Violet: Really? I’m glad to hear that.

My turn. Here you go, Sumire. Happy Birthday.

Violet: Thank you, Mona. Someplace to put my glasses before I go to bed and for gymnastic practice.

Mr. Yoshizawa: Now for my gift.

>Violet’s father gives her his gift: A family picture of a young Violet with her parents... and her sister.

Mr. Yoshizawa: I thought maybe...

(hugging her father) Thanks, Dad.

>Mr. Yoshizawa hugs his daughter in return.

Guess it’s my turn.

Violet: Thank you, Mishima kun. I guess you can’t go wrong with Kingdom Hearts. I hope they do find Sora.

Admin: Same here. Suzui hopes so, too.

Panther: Yeah, she told me.

Admin: (whispering) I’m hoping he would reappear so he would one day meet you guys, the Phantom Thieves.

Now it’s my turn to give my gift.

Panther: You got her a gift, too, Sophia?

Sophie: Yes. I couldn’t think of something at first, but after putting much thought into it. I’ve already just ordered.

Mr. Yoshizawa: (a bit surprised) A computer ordered a gift for my daughter? How is that possible?

>The door of the cafe opens.

Delivery Man: Hello, expedited delivery! Thank you for choosing our services!

>The delivery man drops the package off and leaves. Violet goes to the package and opens it.

Sophie: I hope you don’t mind the wig, it came with the clothes.

Violet: I’m sure it’ll be good either way. Though, I wonder if it comes in pink or magenta. But that would probably be Aurora. But still, thank you for the present, Sophia chan.

Sophie: You’re welcome.

It’s our turn! Of course, you could say it’s also from Mittelman san and a certain cowboy. Akechi, Nakaoka, Tekeishi, you guys ready?

Crow: Ready!

Just remember you owe us, Sakamoto.

We’re doing this because we love Sumire just as much as you and your friends do.

>Skull takes out an ukulele, Crow takes out a harmonica on a neck holder and a Hawaiian drum, Nakaoka takes out violin and a keytar, and Tekeishi takes out a pair of maracas. They then begin to play.

youtube

Violet: (applauding with us) Wow, what a great song! Thank you.

Nakaoka: Hey, that that magic ointment Akechi’s one-eyed friend gave us really worked!

Tekeishi: Guess we owe that old crackpot an apology... and ¥20,000.

Crow: Indeed...

(whispers to Skull) I guess it’s good thing we didn’t tell them that that “magic ointment” Antiquary gave them was just regular old body wash.

(also whispering) Yah. The only magic that stuff did was bring out the magic they already had inside of ‘em.

It looks like me and Ren are up next.

Joker: Thanks to Yusuke, I’ve learned a little more about art. So we came up with this.

Joker and Fox: Enjoy!

(This image was found one Pinterest.)

Violet: Aww, I love it! Thanks, you two!

Joker and Fox: You’re very welcome.

Mr. Yoshizawa: (a little confused) What’s with the logos? Oh wait, I get it.

Fox: (nervous) You do?

Mr. Yoshizawa: (smiling) Sure... You know Sumire is a fan of that video game the Phantom Thieves appeared in.

>Me and Fox sigh in relief.

Joker: Of course we do.

Violet: (happy) I’m also glad you included Kasumi in it. Now, if there aren’t anymore gifts left to give...

Panther: Actually, I think there’s one more gift coming. Look.

>We all turn to the door to see someone was there. It opens.

Oh, you’re here!

H- Hi, Sumire. It’s been awhile.

If you call a month a while. Well, go on, Vince. Give it to her.

>Vincent gives Violet his gift to her.

(This picture was found on Fun Learning Life.)

Violet: They looks so good. Thank you.

Vincent: Me and Mom got the recipe online. This is actually your late White Day gift. Here’s your birthday present.

>Vincent gives Violet a small box made to look like it was wrapped. Violet opens it and takes out a couple of tickets.

Violet: (a bit amazed) Vincent, are these tickets to visit the Gateway Arch?

Vincent: Y- Yeah. I heard that you and your team were going to our hometown, St. Louise, to watch a live gymnastics competition to see who would go on to represent America in the Olympics.

Violet: I know. I thought that were going to have to watch it live streamed because of the virus. We couldn’t believe our luck.

Vincent: Yeah. So I thought, maybe, if you have time, we could... You would like to visit it.

Violet: Well, I suppose if I do have time, I would like to visit... with you.

Vincent: What?

Violet: Isn’t that what you were going to say? “We”?

Vincent: (his face turning a bit red) Well, getting just two tickets was Duke’s idea... And our parents... And the other Joes...

>We saw that Duke was smiling a bit. Oh boy.

Vincent: But, if you like, you could just ask someone else to come with you.

>Violet smiled and went up to Vincent.

Violet: Vincent, you wanted to ask me to come with you. If you wanted to me to go with you, I’d be glad to go. I could use someone who knows St. Louise and... I could tell there’s something you really want to say to me.

Vincent: So... You want to come with me?

>Violet smiles again... and kisses Vincent on the check which made him even redder.

Maybe that should answer it?

Skull: (still whispering) She she be doing that?

Oracle: (also whispering) Don’t worry, I was with her when we got our test results. We’re negative.

Duke: (also whispering) Same with Vince.

Vincent: I guess it does.

>Vincent was still blushing... and makes a small smile... which quickly faded when she saw Violet’s father glaring at him, making the gesture for “I’m watching you”, and mothing...

Mr. Yoshizawa: You break her heart, I’ll break your neck.

Violet: (whispering) Ignore him. He’s really a big teddy bear.

>Suddenly, a couple of shadows appear at the door.

Noir: Oh, the other Joes came with you?

Duke: Yes, but they’re back at the Coyote in Shibuya. Me and Vince came here ourselves.

>The door then opens.

Y- You two again!?

Pardon our intrusion. We saw these two gentlemen go in and knew the door was unlocked.

Boss: We’re actually closed.

We know. So we though of invitin’ ourselves to the party.

Queen: (getting into aikido stance) If you’re here to start any trouble...

>The man with the pompadour also gets into a fighting stance but is stopped by the man with the sunglasses.

Man with Sunglasses: No, we’re not. You’ll have to excuse him. He can be a bit hot-blooded, and I suppose we do seem rather odd. Please, allow me to introduce ourselves. My name is Giovanni Bertuccio and my colleague here is called Baptistin. We’re here on behalf of our mistress who has learned of a party here in honor of someone’s birthday and that she and her friend are graduating and wishes to extend some gift to them.

>Bertuccio and Baptistin each produce a box, a small chest box with a green bow on it and a large black box with a white ribbon on it respectively. Bertuccio gave his box first to Oracle who opens it.

Holy cow! is that real?

Baptistin: As real as our mistress can afford.

Oracle: (picking up the bracelet) I know I don’t normally do jewelry, but wow.

Boss: (smiling a bit) It actually goes a little well with you.

>Oracle thought for a bit and puts on the bracelet.

Boss: See? I told you. Now, what do we say?

Oracle: Thanks.

Bertuccio: You should thank our mistress.

Baptistin: Now for this. Fair warning, we don’t know if it’s the right size. Our mistress had to guess.

>Violet was a little confused, but took the box. She opens it to find a beautiful blue dress. It looked oddly like Cendrillon’s clothes.

Violet: Oh my. It’s such a beautiful dress. I know I said I’d like something a little pink, but this is good, too. Dad, can I try it on.

Mr. Yoshizawa: Well, they don’t seem to mean any harm. I guess it’s fine.

Violet: Thanks, Dad.

>Violet takes the dress with her to the bathroom. A little later, she comes out.

(This image was found on Reddit.)

So, how do I look?

Mr. Yoshizawa: (a bit impressed) You look beautiful, Sumire. Absolutely stunning.

Noir: It’s so pretty.

Panther: I wonder where they got the idea?

Bertuccio and Baptistin: ATLUS.

Panther: Oh.

Sophie: I think you look lovely in it, Sumire chan.

>We all agree and applaud.

Thank you, everyone.

>Me and Duke then notice Vincent turning so red that we thought his head would burst... We’ll just leave him be.

Violet: I should also thank this mistress of yours. Who is she?

Bertuccio: I’m afraid we cannot tell you... But you will meet her soon enough. Now, if you please, we must go. Until we meet again.

>With that, Bertuccio and Baptistin leave... Something about them...

You noticed something odd about them, too, didn’t you?

Wolf: Same here. It’s not just the way they look.

I can tell those gifts are genuine. However, they are still a rather suspicious pair.

Joker: No doubt. And did you see how Sojiro reacted to them? It’s almost like... Like he’s seen a ghost. Even their names... Bertuccio and Baptistin...

I just know I’ve heard them somewhere before.

>In front of the movie theater, Bertuccio makes a call on his phone.

Bertuccio: Mistress, it’s us. We’ve delivered the package just as you asked. Now all we need to do is wait... No doubt about it, it must be. But just to be sure, we should just wait and watch a little more. We’ll be back to you soon.

>Something tells me we haven’t seen that last of those two.

[2016] A Series of Coincidences is Called, “The Universe is Having You On”

Prompt: Found their phone number in a library book au

“Todays’ the day,” Xavier declares to his breakfast – scrambled eggs and toast, because his dad takes being a chef very seriously don’t laugh, Xav – and then gives a determined nod. “I can absolutely do this.”

And maybe he could, but when he gets to school and hangs out all day, even having the stupid note – something he did purely because he overheard her complain that she’s sick of being the messenger for her more popular twins notes, I want some for me, damn it – all prepared and written out ahead of time, ready to slip into her locker or, if he’s feeling particularly brave, into her notebook. The one with the little sketches all over it.

It’s not until after school, when he’s waiting for Isaac’s chauffeur to give them a lift to karate, that he finds out what happened. “Didja hear?” Isaac asks, more attractive with his actually decent looking facial hair (especially for a 14 year old, which, what) and his flawless olive skin and expertly quaffed hair, as he flops down on the stairs where Xavier has sprawled out, face-down on the concrete. “The hot twins got expelled. You know – the one that thinks she’s a dude and the one you have a boner for.”

Xavier does know. He sits up just to tear the little note to shreds. So much for that, he thinks, and in a dramatic teenaged fit later that night, he gives up on the idea of Pandora Rodriquez, gorgeous artist extraordinaire, and then on romance altogether.

It’s ridiculous but Isaac dares him to do it and the new guy encourages the whole thing, so Xavier writes his mobile number on a post it and sticks it in the book he was hoping had information for the stupid class project that he doesn’t want to do. This is what he gets for hoping art history is actually interesting, and as he packs up to leave he swears the terrifying librarian with her magenta hair and dark skin knows exactly what he just did (judging by the snickering from the shelves, the womans boyfriend definitely knows), because she just keeps staring at him. He smiles uneasily and gets the hell out of there, forgetting about it once Vincent and Isaac finish teasing his damn unfortunate self (“You actually did it? Dude, you could’ve just pretended.” “Shut up and do something about your gigantic bisexual boner for the new guy,” Xavier snaps and hits Isaac with a pillow, because he’s still paranoid the librarian will show up and scold him for abusing books despite the fact that he lives on the opposite side of town to the library).

It’s a week later when he gets a text from a number he doesn’t recognise.

(3:43PM) so does this thing help at all with th project on “obscure fuckin artists” or

(3:44 PM) ? what are you talking about

(3:44 PM) who is this by the way

(3:50 PM) hellloooo?

(4:22 PM) soz not soz. ur number’s in this book. at the library. that was u, rght?

(4:24 PM) oh. yeah.

(4:27 PM) but that book was rubbish. i ended up just googling

(4:27 PM) asdhfkldsahfkdlfkjsa

(4:28 PM) u srs?

(4:32 PM) IM AT THS HOLE FOR NO REASON FML

(4:34 PM) breathe, random angry text person

He doesn’t get another text back that day, but he and the unknown number are in contact for a long time yet.

College is fantastic. And by that of course Xavier means he hates it. He tells his cereal as much one morning, never mind that he isn’t even a college student, waiting for Isaac to quit hogging the fucking breakfast. “I hate college.” Just for good measure, he texts the random angry text person (now called ‘poxy paint’ because why not) from sophomore year the same thing.

(7:43 AM) u wke me up for ths shit

(7:45 AM) you want problems? my roommate sings in the shower

He snorts, because he can hear Isaac singing fucking Keep Moving On in the next room, and it’s mornings like this that he regrets renting an open plan living space. There’s a bathroom and one closed off room, which sucks because Isaac, as the one who actually has the sex life, is the one who gets dibs. Xavier’s still pining after a crush he had in middle and high school (he regrets nothing, damn it, except for a stupid ripped up note that melted in the rain six years ago).

(7:50 AM) coffeeeeeee

(7:52 AM) nyway. u still wanna meet me? coz im free today

(7:53 AM) i can come to that shop thing if u want? sis nd her friends want to do smth “cultural” or w/e

He stares at his phone for a full two minutes before grinning at his cereal, dropping the spoon. “I could actually meet them? Do I want to? Will I ruin everything?

“Quit talking to your fucking food!” Isaac calls. Xavier calls back that he should fuck himself while he’s in there, then texts back.

(7:56 AM) sorry that took so long

(7:57 AM) the show starts at 10 if your serious. convention center and all

(8:03 AM) ill b th chick wiv the twin, a lost boi and a crown

(8:05 AM) i’ll be waiting for you your highness

Vince helps out with the stall, because Isaac has advanced quantum physics or whatever the fuck he’s studying now. Xavier doesn’t care enough to know for sure, and wouldn’t even have an idea it was physics if he hadn’t tripped over a book that morning (“Why is a physics textbook next to the shower?” “I need that for class!” “Noooo? And here I thought you had it for light reading.” “Alright, no need to be sarcastic.”), but it means that he and Vince are manning the stall. Well, Vince is manning the stall. Xavier is mostly just being anxious and doodling little animals running around in circles. When the guy his roommate still has a bisexual boner for (even after they actually did something about it that one Thanksgiving break) became the most responsible person in his life, he doesn’t know, but it’s nice listening to someone other than him argue that his art is worth the price he affixes with little removable tags.

“Vince?” a confused voice chimes. Xavier rolls his eyes – it isn’t the first time someone has recognised the guy who will always be “the new guy” in his social circle – and looks up to scan the room for the crown, the twin and the ‘lost boy’ once again. Seeing nothing, he sighs and looks back at his doodles. “You’re the awkward artist dude?”

Vince looks positively delighted, Xavier discovers when his hand cramps and he looks up yet again as he shakes it out. “Oh my god, you’re the mysterious textee? Seriously?” Maybe he wasn’t there for the event itself, but he knows the story about Xavier’s gigantic crush, courtesy of Isaac himself. He turns to Xavier, says unnecessarily loudly, “Hey Xavier, I didn’t realise it was my Pandora.”

The look Xavier shoots him could wither a sunflower, but Vince just jumps to his feet, gesturing for Pan to come around. “You know what, you two should absolutely take care of things here, I want a break anyway.” He grabs the other guy – who’s mostly just standing there looking bewildered – by the hand and drags him away, borderline skipping. The other girl raises an eyebrow at the one with the – with the crown?

“Is this the guy,” she asks, except it doesn’t quite sound like a question.

“Uh,” the girl says, eloquently, then turns to him. “Phone.”

Xavier points at the counter, baffled, and lets her go through the thing, unlocked to play music as he works. After a moment she emits a triumphant little noise and nods at the other girl – who shakes her head and leaves – and drops the phone on his page. “Hey, so, this is a little bit weird, but – I think I’m the person you’ve been texting for, like, six years or something.” She taps her head; a glance has Xavier realising he didn’t look close enough to spot the fucking crown. It’s paper and bright pink, covered in so much glitter and beads that he’s not sure it’s not just stuck to her hair with glue.

And, worse, he knows her. “Holy shit.” Because maybe Vince thinks this is his Pandora, but before she was his she was his, Xavier’s, in his dreams at least. “This is going to sound absolutely insane, but – you went to Saint Jude’s and got expelled, didn’t you? You’re, uh, you supposedly set something on fire?”

“It was for art,” she retorts, indignant, “why?”

“Because I was, uh,” and he mumbles the last part as quickly as he can, wanting it over with as his cheek turn bright fucking red, “planning on asking you out literally the day you got expelled.”

She starts laughing a minute later, and then, out of sheer desperation, so does he. At this points it’s that or cry.

Phan Cam: School Festival Day 2 of 2

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN PERSONA 5 ROYAL SPOILERS. PLUS, THE CHARACTERS MAY OR MAY NOT ALREADY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE GAME. ALSO IT CAN GET A BIT LONG.

>October 27

(ignore the time stamp on the picture)

>Shujin Academy, Aoyama-Itchome. The last day of the School Culture Festival.

Welcome to the Shujin Academy School Culture Festival!

Oracle: This is the last day, so whatever you wish to do, better do it now.

Queen: We also have Princess Crystal of Attilan (turns out we got it wrong the whole time) speaking today here to talk of the Inhumans in this school and pretty much all of Japan.

Joker: And at the end, we’ll be having a big dance party. So we hope you can... Get down.

Joker, Fox, Queen, Oracle, and Crow: Enjoy!

Yeesh! Can those smiles be anymore painful? Even to the people coming here?

>We were greeting the Joes which at this moment consisted of Tunnel Rat, Duke, Scarlet, Roadblock, Ripcord, Flint, Lady Jaye, Breaker, Shipwreck, and (I’m not sure if he’s a Joe now or not) Vincent Hauser, Duke’s younger brother.

Queen: You’re here?

We just happened to be in the neighborhood and thought we’d stop by and say hi.

Oracle: (unconvinced) I’m sure.

Alright, alright, we’ll come clean. We’re here because, well, there is an Inhuman here... Actually, a lot of them.

Queen: I promise you all they’re not any trouble.

It’s just a formality. A bunch of army guys and women appearing here. It will give them peace of mind.

Joker: The Avengers and the Future Avengers make everyone feel safe as well.

Crow: And a detective.

It never hurts to be sure.

That’s true. Even superheroes need help.

Fox: He has a point.

I’d rather that we just get this over with. If the Inhuman want to go, they can go.

Don’t be so negative. Some of these people have lived her their whole lives and they may not want to go with the princess.

Although, I’ve heard that Attilan is quite the sight. They may get curious.

Just have faith in them. You’ll see.

Are you sure about that? It’s kind of hard to ignore royalty.

????: Indeed it is. I know this all too well.

>We turn to see Own Burnett, or rather Principal Burnett, coming to us.

Duke: (smirking) Why’s that? Xanatos proved to be too much for you?

I wouldn’t say that. I just have great respect him... I just have some father issues.

Scarlet: I guess I can understand.

Owen: Anyway, I am glad that you all came. Please, enjoy the festivities while you are here.

Flint: We’ll do just that. Thank you.

Vincent: ...

Hmm...

>With that, the Joes come in.

Owen: I think Mr. Amamiya and Ms. Niijima have done enough for now. We can begin that meeting you requested.

Queen: Very well.

Crow: We’ll handle things here without you for now. Good luck.

>With that, we go with Owen to his office. The student council president was waiting for us there. Let’s call him Sugi Meishu.

Owen: So, what is on your mind?

Sugi: Well, for starters, why is David Xanatos’s former assistant doing here?

Owen: If you must know, now that I am no longer of Xanatos Enterprises, I am in need of new employment. However, thanks to a book I read, I thought I could try my luck here in Japan.

Queen: Really? What kind of book?

>Owen takes a tablet out of his desk. He shows us what on it.

I see.

I’ve read that. Not sure what to make of it, though, it did give me a lot of Knowledge and Guts. Maybe even a little Kindness, too.

Owen: Glad to hear of it.

Sugi: I could never understand it.

Owen: However, my time as your principal is limited until they can find a more permanent one. They wanted to see if someone from over seas can safely run this school. Now they are convinced it can. However, they still wish for someone of Japanese origin to be here. But still, they were happy with the results.

Sugi: (a bit happy) That’s good to hear. I’m sure the school district would love to hear our opinions as well.

Owen: I will see to it that they do. Now off, I wish to speak to these two alone.

>With that, Sugi leaves. Now it’s just me, Queen, and Owen.

Owen: It was actually Master Alexander who suggested this book.

Queen: That’s good to hear.

Owen: Yes. I must admit, he knew for a awhile that something was happening here in Japan... Especially after your friend fell into that coma. And even before then, he knew.

Joker: Yes. But he’s awake now as you clearly see.

Owen: Yes... And Master Alexander didn’t have to do anything.

Queen: ... So he told you about the connection...

And that we’re the Phantom Thieves.

Owen: He told me about the connection, yes... But it was you who told me that you were the Phantom Thieves. Just now.

WHAT!?

Shit, I can’t believe we fell for that. That’s the oldest trick in the book.

Owen: I can assure you that you have nothing to fear. Master Alex has asked me no to reveal your identities and I see no reason to reveal them.

Queen: I just hope you are right.

Owen: Anyway, I must go and prepare the announcement.

Queen: What announcement?

Owen: In time. Now I believe you still have some guests to greet.

>We nod and leave.

>Back at the entrance, Fox and Oracle leave Crow alone to take a short break. Then, Crow spots his neighbors, Yushi, Hase, Akira, Isshiki, Akine, Ryu, and Furuhonya. Also with them are the ghosts, Mariko, Kuri, and Shiro the dog, the human yokai, Sato and Yamada, a man with an eye patch known as the Antiquary, and, invisible to everyone but them, a pair of disembodied hands known as Ruriko.

Once again!

Crow: (happy) I’m so glad you could be here.

You have Joutou’s student council president to thank. She decided for the last day that our school and Shujin join our two festivals for the last day... Though I wish not all of our neighbors came.

C’mon, Yushi, we never got to wear these uniforms the past two festivals. Now we have our chance.

Is this still too short?

I think it’s just right.

(I apologize for the next picture.)

Akine: It sort of does.

Mariko: I see nothing wrong with uniforms being short.

It’s a good thing you’re invisible to human eyes.

Not this time. Look a that wall there.

Seriously!? I thought they only did this in Shibuya.

I had a word with the people there. They thought about it and said, “Just this once.”

I’m also glad the Kuri can come with us this time. It’s nice to get him out of the apartment once and awhile.

...

*arf*

Yushi: By the way, I brought that package you told me about. It came in yesterday, but I already went to bed when you got home. Not sure why you wanted me to bring it here.

(taking the package) Just wanted to make sure.

>Then, five more people come up.

If you’re quite done talking, you’re holding up the line.

Sorry.

Now, now, Rui chan. It’s just a quick drop off.

Still, it’s hard tel believe that one of your neighbors, Yushi kun, is the Detective Prince himself.

Crow: (smiling) I’m honored to hear that.

Indeed. And from what I’ve heard... You must suffering so much with your mother gone and your father being a disgraced politician.

I take it you’re Haruka Aoki. Yushi san told me a lot about you.

Aoki: I am. And I just wanted to let you know that if you ever feel like crying, I’m always available.

I am very fine with how things are now, thank you very much.

(sarcastic) I see that.

Crow: My friends and my neighbors are all the best family I’ve ever had. And I am happy for that.

????: That’s the spirit, Akechi kun?

Seta sensei?

Good day, Akechi kun.

It’s good to see you.

I’d rather be going to the Culture Festival at Tokyo U with the others, but I guess this place will be great, too.

>Then, me, Queen, Fox, and Oracle return.

Joker: They keep saying that everyone is waiting to get in.

Yushin: Right. We better go in now.

Furuhonya: See you at the cosplay contest.

>With that, the group goes in.

Crow: Futaba chan, I know you need to get back to work, but can you check something for me, please?

Oracle: Is it something to do with that package?

Crow: Yes. It might be up your ally.

Queen: It’s alight, Futaba, we can handle things here for now.

Oracle: Thanks, you guys.

Crow: Let’s head over to 3-B. That class hasn’t come up with something, so it should be completely empty.

>With that, they leave... I’m curious, so I quickly take out my phone.

Hey, Mona. Can you do something for me?

What’s 👆, Ren? (👁🤔I'm getting better @ texting.)

Try not to use so many emojis next time. Anyway, I think Akechi and Futaba are doing something and I would like to know. Just in case. They’re at Class 3-B. Good luck.

I’m on it.

>Later at Class 3-B, Crow and Oracle sat the box down.

Oracle: What’ in here, Crow?

Crow: You’ll see.

>Crow opens the box and shows her what’s inside...

This... This is... How?

Crow: If you must know...

>Flashback. Sometme after Peter/Spider-Man got his body back and Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus back in his. Otto awoke with a start... But he wasn’t in the hospital.

Wh- Where am I?

>Otto gets up and find that he’s in a cell. Worried, he goes to the bars and looks out.

>Then, the cell door opens and Otto goes out. Then, someone comes to him.

Welcome to the Velvet Room. This place exists between dreams and reality. Mind and matter. Life and death. Only those who have agreed to a sort of contract may enter here. Yet you, Otto Octavius, have not agreed to such a contract.

Otto: But then, how...

Lavenza: However, the Velvet Room is inseparable from the fate of those who come here. Nothing meaningless happens here...

So there must be a reason why one of our guests requested you come here.

Otto: (still a little confused) Requested? Here? Wait, how did I even get here?

Lavenza: You are here, and yet not here. Your body is still sound asleep in the real world. You are here in your dreams.

Otto: (getting it) I see. I guess that explains why I’m not groggy here.

????: Glad you’ve realized that.

>Then someone comes out of the shadows.

Thank you, Lavenza, I can take it from here.

Lavenza: Very well. (steps asaide)

Otto: (a bit surprised) Akechi?

Crow: You probably understand why I’ve called for you here.

Otto: You’re angry at me because I took Peter Parker’s body... Or rather, Spider-Man’s body and completely ruined his life.

Crow: So you know.

Otto: Yes... And that you and your friends are the Phantom Thieves that took my heart over a year ago. Being in Parker’s life helped me figure it out... But after what just happened, I don’t see any reason to reveal your secret. After all, I’m a villain. Who would believe me?

Crow: Glad to hear that.

Otto: Look, I understand what I did was wrong. I tried to be the hero Parker couldn’t, and I failed. Not to mention that you fell into a coma because of what I did. Believe me, if I could, I would turn back time and undo all of it.

Crow: But that won’t help at all. It won’t change the fact that you did do it.

Otto: Don’t you think I know that?

Crow: However, there’s nothing I can do either. I know that Peter wants you to have another chance to become the hero you can be. He’s seen your memories. About your father. So I will give you a another chance as well.

Otto: Well, I’m glad to hear that.

But for me, this is your last chance.

Otto: !

So let me give this one warning: If you ever do something like that ever again...

It’ll be the last thing you ever do. I’ll make sure of it.

Otto: (now a bit shaken)... Y- (a bit of a voice crack there) Yes.

Crow: (back to his cheerful self) Good. Glad we’re on the same page.

Lavenza: It appears you have gained full control of your once dark self.

Crow: Thanks. I’ve been working on it while I was in my coma. Just hope I don’t have to use it the next time we have a heist.

Lavenza: I doubt that. You may have to use it at times. But only when you really have to.

Crow: I’ll try. Now I just have to explain it to the others.

>Crow has now gained Black Mask Mode.

Tutorial

Crow can now use Black Mask Mode.

Black Mask Mode is similar to Orgia Mode. When Crow enters it, his costume will change to his Black Mask one and his attack power and Persona Skills will double for 3 turns. When it passes, Crow will revert to his regular form and will enter a cool down state for three turns which will cost him some HP and unable to act.

Once in Black Mask Mode, you cannot exit it. You must wait until it passes.

Otto: Still, I wish you could make it up to you. I’ve made you miss so much of your life already.

>Crow thought for a moment. Then, he spoke.

Crow: Well, this is one thing you could do.

Otto: What?

Crow: ... You know that costume you wore during your “experience”.

Otto: My Superior Spider-Man suit? What about it?

I would like to have it.

Otto: (a bit surprised) Are you serious?

Crow: I would like to have it as a reminder of what I just said.

Otto: ... Very well. If that’s what it takes to make up for what I did, I’ll send it to you.

Thank you.

>Suddenly, a ringing sound came.

Lavenza: It is time to return to the real world. Return and regain whatever rest you have left.

Otto: So... See you around? I promise next time I won’t fail you... Or destroy you... What ever you don’t like me doing to you.

Sure. Why not?

>Back in the present.

Oracle: I see. So you want me to check it just in case Doc Oct left behind any “nasty surprises”?

Crow: Pretty much.

Oracle: Well, alright. It should be a quick check up. I’ve always heard of stuff like this happening.

>After a few short minutes, Oracle was finished with her analysis.

Oracle: I’ve checked it. All good. I guess he even had it pressed. Though, some of the technology might still be usable. Including the spider arms.

Crow: That sound useful. How nice of Otto.

Hey, you should try it on.

Crow: Alright. Just to make sure it was worth the wait.

>So, Crow changes out of his fancy suit and into the costume.

Be brutally honest. How do I look?

It’s... It’s certain way different from the one Peter usually wears. The one he gave you.

But you have to admit, Otto does have some taste.

>Crow has received the Superior Spider-Man Costume.

Tutorial

Crow can now wear the Superior Spider-Man Costume. There are only two ways you can see him wear it. No matter which one you go by, Crow has to be wearing the Spider-Man Costume.

To see him wear it in field, go to a place that requires you to use a grappling hook or climb. Instead of a grappling hook, Crow will use Web Shooters. When climbing, Crow will use the costume’s robot spider arms.

To see him wear it in battle, simply enter Black Mask Mode. This, however, will not effect Crow in battle. When Black Mask Mode passes, Crow will return to his regular Spider-Man Costume until he enters Black Mask Mode again.

Crow: I see even the scanners working...

Since I’ve noticed two people spying on us.

>Oracle quickly turn to the door and saw Mona... and Vincent.

Oracle: How much did you hear?

Quite enough.

Vincent: ...

>Vincent quickly and quietly leaves.

Mona: I wonder what he’s up to?

Oracle: Anyway, I think we should tell the others.

Crow: I think it’s for the best that we do.

>With Vincent, he takes his phone out and begins typing something on it. Then, Duke arrives.

Duke: Is everything alright, Vince?

Vincent: (putting his phone away) It’s... It’s nothing. I’m just a little tired. Who would have thought a Japanese Culture Festival would be this much.

Duke: Maybe... Actually, you’ve been tired a lot these days. I’ve noticed you haven’t gotten much sleep.

Vincent: I’m fine. I’ll just go to the rest area. I’ll meet you up for the speech.

>With that, Vince leaves. Duke just stares, a little worried about his younger brother.

>Later, after Crow, Oracle, and Mona told us what happened with Otto, we were a little surprised. But we decided to let him keep the suit if that’s what he really wants. I just hope he knows what he’s doing.

>Later on, we finally finished greeting people coming to the festival for the day. Luckily, I have time before the speech, so I decide to check out the rest of the festival. So, after I changed back to my uniform, I check my phone to see if anyone wanted to spend it with me. I have three messages. One from Fox, one from my dad, and one from... Vincent Hauser. I decide to check Fox first. I wonder what my boyfriend would like to do?

Ren, I would like us to check on what the Art Club is doing. Can you come?

I’ll be there. I want to see, too.

Thank you. And there’s something I want to tell you. I would tell you over the phone, but I think I should tell you in person.

>With that, I go to the Art Room.

>At the Art Room, everyone is too preoccupied with Akira’s “art demonstration” (and his uniform). Fox is also watching until he notices me.

Ren, you’ve made it.

I’m here. So, what is it you want to talk about?

??????: You’ll see.

Aren’t you...

I’m a distant relative of Yusuke’s... But that’s not why I’m here and what he was going to tell you.

Fox: He’s right.

Joker: What is it?

Fox: Well, as you know, if I had a mother...

Then I must have a father.

Joker: (surprised) Are you serious?

Goemon: Yusuke’s mother entrusted me with his identity before she died. Since he’s almost finished with high school, I thought it was time to tell him the truth. His father is alive and well.

Joker: Why didn’t he come to find him after his mother died? I can understand why you didn’t come for him.

Fox: Goemon ojisan said he and my mother separated before learning she was pregnant. So I guess he doesn’t know I exist. The reason they left each other is because my father was still in his last year of high school when he met my mother who was his art teacher. At first, it was just tutoring because his grades in art were slipping. But as time went on, their relationship only grew until they ended up having romantic feelings for each other. They were only in bed with each other once. But not too long afterwards, the school found out and my mother was forced to quit her job so her student wouldn’t get expelled. He already had a promising future as a race car driver. Not too long after that, my mother found out she was pregnant with me. Since she had no job, she went to the only person left in her life. Her art teacher...

Madarame.

Joker: I see. And your father?

Goemon: There was a DNA test. The student is definitely Yusuke’s father. But she asked that he never find out. By the time Yusuke was born, he was already famous for winning his first race. And learning that he was a father at such a young age and with an older woman would only ruin his reputation. So, we kept quiet. But now that Yusuke’s a man, the time has come to tell him the truth.

Joker: Does your father know about you know?

Fox: No. But I suspect that he has to know sooner or later. My mother didn’t want him to know. Though, I suppose she wanted to tell him herself after learning he would take part in what is known as the World Race on Highway 35, but she never got the chance.

Joker: Yeah, you were only 3 when the race took place and your mother died around the same time. And I’m guessing Madarame wouldn’t tell him either so he could have you to himself... Or rather, your art talent.

Goemon: I would have done something about it, but you know I can’t actually return to Tokyo.

Fox: I understand. You were already wanted by the authorities and your enemies. I would only be put in danger.

Joker: What will you do now? Are you going to go looking for your dad?

Fox: Not right away. I still have to finish school. Maybe after. And...

Ren, I would like you to come with me.

Joker: Of course, Yusuke, you know I would do anything for you. And you would do the same. I’ll go with you to find your father.

Fox: Thank you, Ren. I know our love for each other is only fanmade, but thank you.

Goemon: That’s good to hear.

Joker: By the way, who is your father? We know he took part in the World Race. And he’s probably Japanese since he went to high school here.

Goemon: Technically, he’s Japanese American. He’s father insisted he go to school here. He’s... someone whose element opposes Yusuke’s.

Joker: That only narrows it down to one. You mean...

Goemon: Yes, Yusuke’s mother told me so... It’s Taro Kitano.

You weren’t kidding when you said he’s a famous racer.

Goemon: Yes. During the first World Race, he was the leader of the Scorchers. Two years later, he left to join Metal Maniacs. However, and this was off the record until recently, things happened and he decided that being in the Metal Maniacs wasn’t working out for him. So he left and returned to the Scorchers.

Joker: Yeah, I heard. He claimed that only left because “the Scorchers were lost without me”... But in reality, we all know he was the one who is lost without the Scorchers. And after a year with them he regained leadership. They’re now all living in Los Angeles, waiting for the the return of the World Race. Which is going to be very long since the secrets of Highway 35 is now lost after the race’s creator, Dr. Peter Tezla, passed away. Even his old assistant robot, Gig, doesn’t know how to open it. So these days, most of the racing teams that were involved in the World Race, including the Scorchers, are just entering smaller races and street races.

Fox: Of course, we’ve seen impossible things happen before.

Goemon: That’s true. Maybe the World Race will return. It’s only a matter of time.

Fox: For him, I hope so. I know he would probably love it.

Goemon: Speaking of time, I should be going. It’s only a matter of time before someone recognizes me and calls the police.

Joker: Right. Well, see ya... And one more thing.

Goemon: What’s that?

Tell my favorite cousin I said hi.

Goemon: (smiling a bit) I will.

>With that, he leaves.

Fox: (a bit surprised) Ren, I didn’t know you two were related.

Joker: Only in spirit. He knows that my Initial Persona and my Third Tier Persona are both based on his grandfather. So I like to play with the idea that we are family.

Fox: (laughing a bit) That’s actually quite clever.

Joker: Thanks.

Fox: Also, there’s something else I want to tell you.

Joker: What is it?

Fox: I’ve decided. After I’ve finished school...

I’m moving in with you at the cafe.

Are you serious? That’s... That’s wonderful.

Fox: Yes. I’m tired of having to only be with you once a week and holidays. I want to be with you always.

Joker: What about college?

Fox: We can still go. But I can no longer stay in the dorms and I don’t have enough for an apartment. And even if I did, it would just feel lonely without you.

Joker: I know. Mona said that he’s still trying to convince Ann’s parents to let her and him move in together now that he has a human form. Obvious they object to the idea, even Ann.

Akira: (who heard the whole thing after finishing his demonstration) That girl is definitely like her Persona. They are both free-loving spirits. Anyway, Akechi’s already spoken to Mona and he keeps telling him that he’s very welcome to move to our place which we would be happy with.

Joker: What did he say?

Akira: He said he’ll think about it. But I’m sure he’ll come around, but I doubt he’ll ever give up chasing that girl.

Fox: (laughing a bit) Good to hear somethings never change.

Joker: Anyway, I’m just so glad that we’ll be living together from now on.

Fox: And we didn’t even have to ask a magic counselor to do it.

It’s just us.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

>With that, we embrace in a passionate kiss. Everyone in the Art Room saw us and applauded us.

Joker: (finishing up) Speaking of fathers and family, I should check up on what my dad wanted.

>I check my phone.

Hey, Ren, I want to talk to you about something... It’s... It’s about Adi.

What is it?

We’ll tell you at the counselor’s office.

I’ll be there.

Fox: If you don’t mind, I would like to know what it is, as well.

If you don’t mind, Yusuke wants to come, too.

Alright. I think he might want to hear this too if he wants.

Joker: Let’s go.

Fox: Very well.

>At the counselor’s office, we meet with Dad and Adi.

You made it. You as well, Yusuke.

Fox: Yes.

Joker: What is it you wanted to tell me?

Well, you might want to sit down. This could be difficult to process.

>We sit.

Jonny: As you probably know about Ryuji’s relation to Makoto.

Yes, I know.

>Skull told us the whole story just after Crow awoke.

>Flashback. Crow’s hospital room. We were gathered around with Skull’s mother.

Years ago, when I was still a baby, Hydra had already begun workin' on what is known as the “Emerald Rain Project”. Makoto, or Hurricane, was born from it. But...

They can’t just make a body with nothin'.

Joker: What do you mean?

Skull: That power still needed a body to hold it in. They needed genetic makeup that could handle it. So they searched all the governments in world and they found him... Alexander Paine, my father. However, gettin’ a DNA sample was difficult since Paine already workin’ as a double agent. So they had to settle for the next best thing.

Mrs. Sakamoto: (no serious picture available) They wanted our son. It happened when I was coming in for what I thought was our yearly blood test. That took Ryu kun’s blood and mine. However, after the examined our blood... They saw my blood had much more potency then my son’s. So they took my blood instead.

They made someone from your blood.

Skull: Yes. They then combined it with the Emerald Rain...

and created Makoto.

Makoto was made from your mother? But, in a way, that would make him...

Yup, that would make Makoto... my biological younger brother.

>We were all quiet.

Skull: But we’re not gonna let it completely change our lives. We know that we’re related, but we’ll continue livin' our lives. But won’t be distancin’ ourselves. He’ll be visitin’ us a little more often, but his home is in New York with the Avengers and the Future Avengers.

Why are you telling us this now?

Skull: After what happened with Akechi, I think I should tell you now before somethin’ else happens.

>Back in the present.

Adi: I see. He told you.

Joker: He has... But what does this have to do with it?

Adi: I think... I think it was fate that me and Makoto know each other.

Joker: What do you mean?

Jonny: After seeing Adi perform the same trick you did at the club with the billiard table, I thought it was a bit odd. So I asked Tony Stark to do a check. When you were still a baby, your mother and I took you in for a blood test... The doctor who performed it was a Hydra agent.

Adi: The scientists then turned your blood into sperm and gave it to a female agent... The same one who bore me.

Fox: But if that’s true, that would mean...

No, it’s not possible.

Adi: This is why I asked you two to sit down. Ren Amamiya, a DNA test confirmed. You, in a biological sense... Are my father and I’m your son.

WHAT!?

(A little reminder, this is a fanmade timeline. In reality, there are no actual relations between certain characters... Other than the fact that they were either from ATLUS or share the same English voice actors.)

Adi: I’m sorry. I know this must come as a shock to you. You’ve already been though so much with your friends and don’t need anymore drama in your life.

Joker: I... I know. It’s just so much to absorb. Me? A father? I haven’t even graduated yet.

Adi: I’m not asking you to take me in. The Avengers already claimed that job. I just thought that you should know. And I also wanted to let you know that things don’t have to change because of this. I’ve learned that a hero known as Superman went though a similar situation as you do. However, instead of acknowledging Superboy as his son, they refer to each other as brothers. I don’t know if you’ll do the same with me, but I just wanted you to let you know.

Joker: ... I guess, I still need to time to think it over. But I guess it does mean that we’re related. I’m not sure if I’m ready to call you my son and me your father yet. But I guess I can consider you my brother for now. And maybe someday...

We would call ourselves parent and child.

Adi: You mean it?

Joker: We’ll see. But if you ever need anything, I'm right here.

Adi: ... (a little more happier) Thank you.

>I can feel Adi’s trust and happiness in me. I feel closer to him now.

I am thou, thou art I… Thou hast acquired a new vow.

It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh they chains of captivity.

With the birth of the Crossing Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power…

Adi will help Admin track down more Mementos targets no matter which Mementos it is.

Jonny: I’m glad we got this over with.

Joker: I know. But why would you help him try to talk to me? He can just come to me any time.

Jonny: I was the first person Adi told. In a way, that makes him my grandson, or rather, my son if what you say is true. I guess I just thought I could help him if this gets hard. You’re still a kid after all.

Joker: Actually, I just turned 18. I’m a man now.

Jonny: And a good man indeed. I’m proud of you, son.

Thanks, Dad.

>I can feel our bond getting stronger.

Joker: Will you be staying for the speech?

Jonny: Why not? I better go, I promised your mother I’d show her how a haunted house works.

Adi: Yeah, they probably don’t have those on her homeworld.

>Dad laughs a bit and leaves.

Adi: He really seems like a good father.

Joker: He sure is.

Adi: Though I wish I knew.

Joker: Knew what?

Adi: If his last name is Argia... Why is your last name Amamiya? Is it your mother’s maiden name?

Joker: Technically...

It’s because I’m the nameless and silent protagonist of a video game where everything about me, including my name, personality, past, interests, and even my love life are decided by the player.

Adi: I... Guess that makes sense.

Fox: Ren, can I ask something?

Joker: What is it?

Fox: If you do decide to take up the role as Adi’s father...

Do you think he would mind two?

>I laugh. Adi can’t help but crack a smile, too. We then put our hands on each other’s shoulders.

Adi: Don’t worry, I have no problem with that.

Joker: By the way, what made you curious about who your father is?

Adi: Well, I know it sounds strange but... It came to me in a dream. I’ve been dreaming about you ever since... Since the second day of the Dream Festival... Since I heard you sing.

Joker: Me sing?

Adi: Yes. I think that’s what drove to pull that trick you did with the billiard table. I thought it was just a thought. But now I know. I think... I think we’re connected.

Joker: Connected? My song?

Fox: Ren?

>I think about it... I put the pieces together... And I finally get the picture.

I think I finally know how Ryuji ,Akechi, Harry, Peter, and all those other people became connected... And it’s not just because they share the same voice actors.

Adi: You know? Then tell us.

Joker: I’ll tell you... After the festival. Right now, I’ve still got one more person to check on.

>I check my phone.

You’re that guy who was with my brother, right? I want to talk to you.

About what?

I’ll tell you in person.

Alright, I’ll listen to what you have to say.

Thanks. I’ll meet you on the school rooftop.

Alright. BTW, what kind of icon is that?

... A falcon. I was originally going to use an eagle, but that sort of hurt. So I went with a falcon.

Adi: I would like to come, too. I have a feeling I know where this is going.

Fox: Same here. I’m coming, too.

>We nod and go to the roof.

>The school rooftop. The Gardening Club were showing the guests what they have been growing with Noir and Isshiki helping.

That’s amazing, Haru chan!

Thank you, Isshi kun.

>We then notice Vincent sitting at one of the desks nearby. Noir notices as well.

Noir: And on that note, that’s all we can demonstrate. Crystal HIme’s sppech will begin soon. But don’t worry, Tokyo University has an open exhibit every Saturday. We’ll see you then.

Isshiki: We will.

>With that, everyone leaves. Now it’s just me, Vincent, Fox, Adi, and Noir.

Joker: Let me guess, you’re here because you’ve been having weird dreams where you’re someone else.

Vincent: So it’s that obvious, huh?

It’s been going around, lately.

Adi: So, what can you tell us about your dream?

Vincent: Well, depending on what I’ve heard your friends said... Otto Octavius. Or should I say, Doctor Octopus.

Noir: You’ve been dreaming about him?

Vincent: Yes. And when he swapped bodies with Spider- Peter Parker, I started feeling weak.

Noir: I think that was from the swap. But I guess you’re better now that he and Peter are back in the own bodies.

Vincent: Yeah, I am. But it’s not just Doc Oct I’ve been dreaming about. I’ve also been dreaming about a version of Robin, a Planeteer, a grotesque version of Pinnochio, a young man scared of technology, another young man with two swords (though that one’s faint), a boy with a scar, a cloned agent, a shape-changing hero, a super fan of Ben Tennyson as well as Tennyson’s future son (I think), one of the 7D, a student who is also from New York, and bunch else.

Fox: But one of them stuck out the most, didn’t it. Which one?

Vincent: ... Yes... But I don’t think I’m ready to tell you. I need to know you’re legit.

Noir: What do you mean?

Vincent: I know that you’re the Phantom Thieves. Don’t ask how I know. Maybe it was because of the change of heart you gave me two years ago, maybe it was the connection. But don’t worry, Duke didn’t tell me. And if you want to know what I’ve been dreaming about, I need to know that you might be able to help.

Joker: With what?

>Suddenly, I sense something on the fence. We look up and someone comes down.

...

Snake Eyes san!? You’re here, too!?

????: Yes, my sensei thinks you might be able to help someone he knows.

>Another appears near him.

It’s... another Snake Eyes.

Adi: (puzzled) Another Snake Eyes?

Joker: Yes, there are other versions of you Joes.

Fox: And every version of Snake Eyes all know each other. Even before the connection.

Adi: How is that possible? They can’t even talk.

Snake Eyes: ...

Jinx: Just trust him. Actually, it’s someone the other Snake Eyes knows. He’s known as Lt. Stone. He and that Snake Eyes are part of a version of the team known as “Sigma 6″. I would tell you more, but Sensei insists that Snake Eyes tell you himself.

Noir: Are you serious?

Vincent: Just do this. If you do, then I’ll tell why the person I’m dreaming about got my attention.

Okay, we’ll do it.

Vincent: You will? ... Thanks.

Joker: Does Duke know about this?

Vincent: I think he’s a little preoccupied with connection dreams of his own. Something about a firefighter with a giant robot, the second Kid Flash, a squid boy, an anthropomorphic dog, an evil warrior, two young men in wheelchairs, a gay superhero, and a bunch of others I can’t even point out.

Adi: (a bit surprised) That must be a lot.

Announcement: Attention everyone! Our guest speaker will begin her speech soon. After that, we have our cosplay contest and dance party. If you wish to attend, please make your way to the gym. Thank you and we hope to see you all again at next year’s festival.

Noir: We better go, I don’t want to miss Crystal Hime’s speech.

Joker: And I entered the cosplay contest.

Jinx: Yeah, I read it in the program. It’s in three categories: Japanese High School, Halloween, and Superhero.

Joker: I’ve entered in Halloween.

Vincent: ... I’ve entered in... Superhero.

Jinx: (a bit puzzled) You entered?

Vincent: (frustrated) Roadblock and Ripcord conned me into it. It just happened.

>So, we went to the gym.

>in the gymnasium, everyone who is attending the festival gathered as Princess Crystal and President Sugi are on the stage.

Sugi: Attention everyone, Princess Crystal of Attilan is here to address everyone here. Both human and Inhuman. Alright, Crystal sama, the floor’s yours.

Thank you, President Meishu. (goes up to the podium) Students and staff of Shujin Academy, human, Inhuman, and otherwise, I have come to you this day, the last day of the School Culture Festival, to offer a chance on behalf of my brother-in-law, King Black Bolt, to come to settle in the Inhuman City of Attilan. Now keep in mind, this is your choice alone. I cannot make it for you. Nor can my sister, her husband, or the rest of my family. Since most of the world has already accepted you for who and what you are, but we would like to wish that you could come and experience life with other Inhumans. Of course, you are aloud to visit instead. And if you do wish to move to Attilan, do not be alarmed. You can visit Earth and your loved ones as many times as you like. No matter what species you are, whether you’re visiting or moving, you still need a passport. Our only wish is that we foster peace between us all. We only hope that you will give us your answers. Thank you. Now, does anyone have any questions?

>A lot of hands shoot up.

Princess Crystal: (unimpressed) Any questions that doesn’t talk about how cool my family is or if I’m seeing anyone.

>Some hands came down. Most of them were guys.

Princess Crystal: Yes, you there.

Inhuman Female Student: Yes, about moving to your city, can my boyfriend, my friend, and her boyfriend move in with me? They’re not Inhuman, but they do have powers. My boyfriend is a metahuman, my friend's a mutant, and her boyfriend’s a NEXT. Is that alright?

Princess Crystal: They might move in with you, though, I must caution your mutant friend. The Terrigen Mist we have with us is dangerous to her kind. She might get M-Pox. However, we have a friend who is a mutant scientist, Dr. Hank McCoy. I think he might work on something. And M-Pox has been proven to be treatable. So, yes, they can move in with you. Who else has a question? How about you?

Inhuman Male Teacher: How is the employment rate in your city? I’ve been a teacher for four years and I’m not about to quit just yet.

Pricness Crystal: You don’t need worry about that. If you still wish to teach, we have plenty of learning facilities to choose from. Of course, for other employment, well, we Inhuman do not use money much, but you can still work if you so desire. Most of the goods in Attilan are either given away or traded. Now anymore questions?

>Meanwhile, backstage...

She makes a compelling argument.

Are you thinking of taking up her offer?

Kei: That depends, will Makoto be coming with me? And my kaiju?

I guess I can go with. Just remember, we are still from Earth. But I’m happy wherever I am as long as the people I love are there... Especially you, Kei.

Kei: (smiling) That’s true.

>The two boys shared a short hug.

Princess Crystal: Well, that’s all the questions I can answer. Thank you for your time. Now I return you to your student council president.

Sugi: Thank you, Crystal sama. Now, for the cosplay contest! We have three categories: Japanese High School, Halloween, and Superhero. Now, could our contestants for Japanese High School, please come forward.

>The cosplayers come on stage. I could tell Mariko is the most excited as she’s hoping to win.

Mariko: (smirking) I’ve got this one in the bag.

Sugi: And the winner is... A late entry... Teddie Teddison?

Mariko: (shocked) WHAT!?

I’m so glad you all chose little ol’ moi. I haven’t been this honored at a school festival since Yasogami did its cross-dressing pageant. Thank you all!

Mariko: (angry) Why that little- I’ll have to find out where he’s staying and give him a good haunting.

Akine: (smiling threat) Do you want me to exorcise you?

Noir: How is Teddie san even here?

Mona: I invited him. Something about “us mascots sticking together”. Especially now I have a human form just like him. Way to go, Teddie senpai!

Sugi: Now, on to Halloween. Will the contestants please come forward?

>The cosplayers, including myself, come forward.

To set the record straight, I’m not Harry Potter.

>I notice that Panther is in the contest, too.

(This is as much of her costume as we’ll show to avoid being flagged.)

(whisper) Good luck, Ren.

(also whispering) You, too.

Sugi: And the winner is... Ann Takamaki!

>The audience cheered as Panther got her prize.

Thank you all!

Male Student: You go, Takamaki! That costume makes you look-

Don’t even go there.

Sugi: Now on to our final category. Will our Superheroes come up, please.

>The cosplayers come up. I see Crow still dressed like a Featherman.

Think what you like, this is the best I could come up with. And using anything webby would feel like cheating.

Female Student as Dragon Kid: (blushing) I don’t know what you mean, but you really look cool in that Featherman costume.

Sugi: And the winner is... Yest another late entry...

>A spotlight turns on... What the...

Duke: (shocked) Vince?

Sugi: (amazed) That is a real great costume! What are you?

Vincent: (thinking to himself) I can’t believe I’m doing this. Ripcord, Roadblock, you owe me. (out loud in a heroic voice) The name’s Stretch, leader of the Flex Fighters, and one of the stretchiest heroes in Charter City!

Sugi: Really? Like Plastic Man, Elongated Man, Mr. Fantastic, and Ms. Marvel?

Vincent: Those are his main powers.

Sugi: There you have it, everyone, our contest winner!

>Everyone applauded.

Sugi: Well, that it for the cosplay contest. We will begin our dance party and the closing ceremony shortly.

>Backstage.

Duke: Wow, Vince, I didn’t think you could do something like that.

(Vincent insisted we use this picture to remind us it’s not what you think)

(groans) Ripcord did the wig and Roadblock gave me the suit he had his grandmother made. They said, “If you can do this, we’ll get Tunnel Rat off my back about turning you guys in for a month.”

Ripcord: Actually, since you won, we’ll make it a year.

Duke: (unimpressed) So you’re saying you conned my brother into doing this.

Ripcord: Hey, it’s Tunnel Rat’s fault he still won’t let go.

Tunnel Rat: He has a point. I know you’re tired of hearing this, but... Seriously, Duke, your kid brother?

Duke: I already made it clear, he just wanted to protect our folks.

Vincent: Besides, isn’t getting my heart taken by the Phantom Thieves enough?

Tunnel Rat: ... I’ll get back to you on that.

(back in uniform) Tunnel Rat, a happy ball of sunshine, you are most definitely not.

Tunnel Rat: Tch. Whatever.

Sugi: Now, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time for the yearly...

Shujin After Party!

Eveyone: (cheering)

Sugi: We prepared a surprise event! Members of the dance group! C’mon!

Wait, that guy on the far left of the stage... Sakamoto senapi!?

Hey, guys! Betcha you didn’t see this comin’!

Vincent: (back in his regular clothes) You’re in idol, so we kind of did see this coming!

Sugi: Alright, everyone, dance against them like you want to win!

Violet: At times like this, you stand out if you’re the only one isn’t dancing. Let’s dance as well!

Looks like it’s show time!

>Before I knew it, Violet, Roadblock, and even Flint are dancing.

Flint: (looking nervously at Lady Jaye) What? It’s a catchy song.

Violet: (smiling) You’re good, senpai!

Sugi: Alright, now that the assembly’s gotten warmed up, let’s change the song! At a festival at JTB, he blew everyone’s minds, now let’s see him do it again! Let’s give a big welcome to...

Naomi Chiaki!

This should be interesting. Let’s see if Inaba was right.

>What happens next can only be described in this post by Bishonenlover☆.

Sugi: Thank you, Chiaki sensei!

Inhuman Male Student: I should totally transfer to JBT if I’m not going to the moon!

Sugi: And now for our last dance the the evening! So, will Sumire Yoshizawa come to the center of the dance floor!

Violet: (surprised) Me?

Sugi: Who better to dance the big finale than the one who killed it at Dream FES? And to make it better... Vincent kun will be dancing with you?

Vincent: (shocked) Me!?

Sugi: Right, that’s the prize for best Superhero cosplay. A dance with one of the school’s most popular students.

Vincent: I don’t have a choice, do I? ... Fine. But if I look ridiculous...

Violet: (reassuring) Don’t worry, I won’t let that happen. Now come on!

>Violet takes Vincent by the hand and drags him out to the dance floor... Is he blushing?

(Insert song: Colors Flying High)

>Then, I notice someone on a balcony... Guess Roxie Richter hasn’t learned her lesson from last time... But I don’t think we have to worry. At that moment, Snake Eyes, Jinx, and, who I can only guess is Storm Shadow, surround her.

You Arashikage trash better back off! This is between me and that slut down there.

As if we take orders from someone whose clan is as broken as yours.

Roxie Richter: Well sorry if I’m only Half-Ninja! Fine, I’m leaving. But this isn’t over!

>With that, she leaves... We really need to keep an eye out for her.

Violet: (finishing her dance) I have to say, you’re not so bad on your feet.

Vincent: (also finished) Well, playing football and my training at West Point made me quite nimble.

Violet: (a bit surprised) Oh, you’ve already started going there?

Vincent: Yeah, I got in on a football scholarship. They say I’m doing well and that I might have a place... with the Green Berets.

Violet: (smiling happily) That’s good to hear. I hope you make it.

Vincent: (blushing a bit) Th- Thanks.

Lady Jaye: (a little happy) Looks like Vince made a new friend.

Duke: (happy for his little brother) Yeah, I guess he did.

As long as he doesn’t try anything funny, I’m okay with it.

Duke: I take it you’re her dad.

Admin’s Notes

We don’t know much about how this works. Has anyone who graduated from West Point ever become a Green Beret? Please let us know at our sister page.

P.S. No, we’re not with Cobra or terrorists. We’re just making sure we haven’t made any mistakes.

Sugi: And now we come to the end of another School Festival. To close us off, Principal Owen Burnett will give us his announcement.

Owen: Thank you, Mr. Meishu. I am glad I got to be here in time for the festival. And thank you, Princess Crystal for that speech. Now, I know most of you have never known who your principal is since the ‘departure’ of your previous one, but now, here I am. And I promise, in the time I have here, I will try to make things here at Shujin Academy better than they were before. I will not disappoint.

>A decent amount of applauding can be heard.

Owen: Now for a couple of changes that I wish to announce that will only be in effect while I am here. We will be adding two more to the staff. They should be no strangers as they have part of this staff before. First off, let us welcome back... Takuto Maruki.

It’s so good to be back here at Shujin. After a bit of soul searching, I’m back in action. I’m ready to help you all... In the real way.

>The crowd, especially the girls, all cheered loudly.

(This gif is originally from angelnanime. Sorry, but it would just be criminal not to include this scene.)

>The crowd, especially the girls, all giggled, but are happy that Takuto (he insisted we not hide his name for personal reasons) is back... I hope he keep his promise.

Owen: And last, but now least, and you will probably will be very unhappy for allowing this, but apparently, he’s be declared rehabilitated and they convinced me to give him back his old position. But I promise you, during this time, he will be on probation. If he repeats his crime or performs any other illegal action, I have orders to report him to the police.

A teacher on probation? Wait...

HELL NO! THEY CAN’T DO THIS!

Skull: Relax, Ann. I don’t think it’s actually-

?????????: Heads up!

>The volleyball is quickly cough by Owen, effortlessly.

Shocked Male Student: No way, what’s he doing here!?

Appalled Female Student: Great, does this mean I’m going to be groped by him?

I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, I promise those days are over. I’ve learned my lesson and I won’t be doing anymore abuse or harassment while I’m here. And I also promise that the remainder of this school year will be the best. And by the end of it...

You might never want me to leave again.

>We all couldn’t believe it. Our first target is back at Shujin... Something tells me things are about to get more interesting.
