Chapter 2: Meeting and Shops
Meanwhile in the Velvet Room, Caroline and Justine are still investigating their situation.
"It's a good thing we can still execute some personas, right Justine" Caroline said
"Yes, but we still need some more time in order to operate the new guillotines. But still…" Justine said
"What is it Justine?" Caroline asked
"We're here for a reason Caroline, but I can't figure out why." Justine sighed
"We'll just leave it to the inmate to figure it out" Caroline said
"He does show determination" Justine said
Meanwhile, the Phantom Thieves are resting inside the café
"Oracle, how big is this place?" Ryuji groaned
"Let me check. There's two more floors until the boss. That's all I know" Futaba answered
"Two more?!" Ryuji gasped
"Is there a problem with that?" Ann asked
"Not really. Is just that, can we rest somewhere other than this place. We've been walking and battling for hours. We haven't seen at least one Safe room yet." Ryuji pointed out
"We've been only doing that for thirty minutes. But he does have a point. We need a good place to rest." Makoto said
"But where can we find a place?" Haru asked
"How about at Joker's place" Yusuke suggested
"We can't leave Shibuya remember" Morgana argued
"And besides, the residential areas are being blocked by the field and we can't afford a room in a hotel." Akechi pointed out
"I might know a place" Lava said
"You do?" Stan asked
"Yeah, It's near the ginza line" Lava answered
"Really, I never noticed it" Ann said
"It's better to see it now but, it's still your call Joker" Akechi said
"Let's go there" Akira said
"In that case, take this" Morgana said. He gave Akira 2 Goho-Ms "That's the last of them okay. Use them wisely"
Akira used one of his Goho-Ms and a bright light surrounded them. When the light subsided, They were already outside of the café. Everybody went to the Ginza line entrance and saw Lava go inside a clinic. Everybody else wemt in and saw 3 beds and some medicines on the shelf.
"Welcome to the Ginza Clinic" Lava said cheerfully
"Are we even allowed here Lava?" Ann asked
"Of course. The owner gave the key to me. He said I can use it how I want it" Lava said
"How come you never told me?" Stan asked
"Um…" Lava lost in thought
"Anyway, who's the doctor?" Makoto asked
"I will of course" Lava said
Everyone in the room felt uncomfortable. Yusuke grabbed a notebook and started sketching.
"Are you sure Lava. I mean, do you even have any experience?" Stan asked
"Of course, I have some experience. And besides, I've been reading an article about a doctor who created a wonderful medicine. I ordered some of her medicines. Thanks to that, this clinic is fully operational" Lava said
"Who's the doctor?" Futaba asked
"I think her name was Dr. Takemi or something" Lava answered
Everyone felt a little bit better
"It's not for free though" Lava said
"Why the hell not!?" Ryuji shouted
"I'm gonna use the money to buy more medicine to stock up the clinic. If I don't, then we're gonna be screwed" Lava answered
"I guess it makes sense" Makoto said
"Wow, cool drawing Yusuke." Haru said
"Thanks" Yusuke said
"I thought you left your sketch book?" Ann thought
"I did. I just found this on this table" Yusuke answered
"Wait, you got that notebook from that table?" Lava asked
"Yes" Yusuke answered
Lava immediately grabbed the notebook and said "You ruined it"
"Ruined what?" Yusuke asked in confusion
"You ruined my story!" Lava shouted
"What story, I don't see anything" Ryuji said
"It's because It's invisible ink" Lava said
"Then why did you use that?" Makoto asked
"Lost to a bet" Lava looked over at Stan winking at him
"Anyway, thanks to this garbage, I need to recreate it again" Lava said
"Garbage! How dare you say my art is garbage" Yusuke shouted
Then Lava and Yusuke started arguing
"Let's leave the two Inaries be" Futaba suggested
Everyone left the two and went back to Central Street
"Let's have a meeting" Akira suggested
"What for?" Stan asked
"We hold a meeting every so often so the we can review the grasp of our situation" Morgana answered
"I see" Stan said
"We should wait for the two" Haru suggested
After a few minutes, Yusuke and Lava arrived and the meeting started
"Okay, anyone like to say anything?" Morgana asked
"We're battling a different type of enemy now." Ann said
"But we still see the usual enemies, why is that Stan?" Yusuke asked
"It's one of the rules of this world. That's all I know that is" Stan said
"We can't rule it out, next" Makoto suggested
"The fights are different" Ryuji said
"Oh yeah, forgot to mention. We can have 5 members to fight in the team. We have two rows, the front and the back. We can use or weapons as adventages in our battle. For example, I am a spear user, I'll be great at the back row" Stan said
"I see, so it's better to play tactical in fights from now on. At least we can still "baton pass" and use our guns. I think Akira should be in charge in handling our formation in battle" Akechi suggested
"Can you handle it Akira?" Morgana asked
"I can handle it" Akira answered
"I have suggestion, I think we need some new weapons and gear" Haru suggested
"We can check at Iwai's store" Morgana said
"No can do, I already checked and he's not there. But it's open" Ryuji said
"I think Stan can help you with that" Lava suggested
"You can" Yusuke asked
"I can hold the fort if you want some new weapons" Stan said
"Really, you can do that?" Ryuji asked
"Yeah, not for free though." Stan said
"Again!?" Ryuji said
"It's for new materials for the gun customization and specialized ammo" Stan said
"It's fine, as long as he can give us the weapons" Makoto said
"Fine" Ryuji sighed
"Last one, What kind of guns do you two have?" Akechi asked
"I have a Rocket Launcher and Stan has a Crossbow" Lava said
"Really?" Ryuji asked
"I think that's enough for the meeting" Makoto suggested
Everyone went back to the café
"Hold up" Futaba said
"What is it Futaba" Haru asked
"We haven't given these two some code names yet" Futaba suggested
"Code names, what for?" Lava asked
"It's just a precaution" Morgana said
"Akira's Joker, Ann's Panther, Yusuke's Fox, Makoto's Queen, Futaba's Oracle, Haru's Noir Akechi's Crow and I'm Skull" Ryuji said
"Ahem!" Morgana exclaimed
"Oh and Morgana's Mona" Ryuji said
"So what would their code names be" Ann asked
"How about Inari" Futaba suggested
"No" Lava said
"Well, Lava uses cards to summon his persona and Stan has a gun to summon his persona, what do you think Joker?" Makoto asked
"Tarot and Evoker" Joker said
"I'm not gonna be called Tarot. I'll go with Wild" Lava said
"Evoker's fine but I'll change it. Call me Hunter" Stan said
"Does anyone have any objections?" Morgana asked
Everyone shook their head no
"Then it's settled" Morgana said
Everyone went back inside the café and we're determined to finish this Labyrinth. The first few steps and they we're already encountered an enemy
"3 enemies I don't see their weakness" Futaba said
It was a 2 Laughing tables on the front and a pixie at the back
Akira Ryuji and Lava was in the front while Ann and Stan was in the back
"Forgot to mention this Joker, you can switch one person per turn. Be tactical" Stan said
Fox goes first. He uses Bufu on the table but it missed
Joker's next. He shot the Pixie and it was it's weakness. Joker got a one more and passed it to Ann. Ann uses Agi on the Laughing Table and it was it's weakness. She got a one more and used it on the other table. All three enemies we're knocked down
Everyone got a Hold up and Joker started to negotiate the pixie.
"Lend me your power" Joker said
And the pixie agreed. And joined him. Then the battle ended
"Huh, never thought you can do that" Wild said
"That's why he is our leader. Thanks to his special ability." Mona said
Then they continued exploring
Meanwhile 11 people and a dog, appeared on the middle of Shibuya. 2 of those people we're wearing a blue outfit and the rest including the dog we're wearing an armband saying SEES
"Why are we in Shibuya?" The red haired said
And that's enough for today.
I really wish this is there next game. Cause it's really interesting.
Anyway, hoped you liked it.
This is Lavakey, The Midnight Fox
