I'm going to start off with a few things I want to clarify. One is my stamina system that I am using since it's unclear. Here's an example. Sora uses a skill that uses 5% of his stamina, that's like doing a 200 meter dash. Using Samsara or die for me uses 50% of his stamina, that's like going 10 rounds in the ring without stopping. Now for the big qualm, "Demi fiend op, pls nerf." Yes he is really powerful, but considering what I mentioned about stamina, it's not something to use lightly. And then there is Gaea Rage. Using it leaves Sora so drained, that without Lucifer's call, it would make Sora black out right then and there, and with Lucifer's call if someone pushed him even lightly, he would fall, and he wouldn't be able to get back up, combined with the fact that I minimized Demi fiends luck means that Gaea Rage can be dodged. That makes for a very huge risk vs reward. Also since it's not obvious, Sora doesn't have a compendium, meaning if he fuses a persona, it's gone, there's no getting it back aside from refusing it. On that note, I may or may not swap out his personas if I deem it interesting towards plot progression.
Sora up until this point was actually fond of the Junes food court. The stuff was pretty cheap, and pretty good quality. But now, he was sitting there surrounded by Rise and her friends, all of them just staring at him. He counted the people that he knew. "Let's see," he mumbled idly, "shirogane-san, Amagi-sempai, Satonaka-sempai, Tatsumi-san, Kujikawa-san." Even for a very social person it was an uncomfortable situation to be in. Why is he here? He complained in his head.
Flashback to yesterday
Rise and Sora were just staring blankly at each other when her friend Kanji came into the classroom. "Oy, Rise-chan, could I borrow your notes?" he saw them staring at each other, and walked over. "Rise-chan, does this mean the rumors are true?" Kanji deadpanned. This brought her out of her stupor, and she turned around and smacked kanji upside the head. "No they aren't!" she shrieked. "Geez, alright alright, I was just teasing you, no need to bite my head off. So anyways, notes." Rise rolled her eyes and said, "Kanji-kun, this is slightly more important, Sato-san here knows about shadows." Kanji paused for a moment before it hit him, "Wait you mean those shadows?" "Yes you dolt, those ones!" Rise said a bit louder than she intended. "Ok, I'll call everyone, and we will meet at the Junes food court after school tomorrow. I'll ask Ted to keep watch in the TV world so he can't try and escape there." While Rise and Kanji were talking, Sora was trying to slip by them and escape. That plan was cut short by Kanji's hand on his shoulder. "One moment Sato-Chan!" Kanji said his voice dangerously pleasant. "Tomorrow after school, meet me and Rise-chan at the school gate, and we'll have a nice talk at the Junes food court, and don't think you can hide in the TV world, as we have a friend there who will find you." Kanji released Sora's shoulder. Sora had no Idea what Kanji meant by TV world, but he felt like it was a bad Idea to ask. "Stupid 1 luck." he murmured to himself while he went home.
End Flashback
"Well, ok, I'm here, and you're all just staring at me." Sora deadpanned. "So what, am I just supposed to spill my guts or something? Cause I have no idea what you guys want." Still silence. At this point Yosuke walks up the table bearing drinks for people. He sits down, and passes drinks to people. "Sorry about Kanji yesterday" Yosuke said. "Rise gave him an impressive lecture about manners after you left. You should have been there, that was not something you see every day" People laughed, and the tension was cleared by the sound of laughter. "We don't want to scare you, we're just curious about what you know. Kanji can be a bit over zealous sometimes. I don't blame him though. After golden week, I was expecting Sho to materialize out of thin air and attack me." Sora shifted a bit, not sure what to think, he had the key if he needed an emergency escape, but he hoped he was being overly cautious. "oookaay then." Sora said, "So what is it exactly you want to know? Cause I really see no point as to my being here. I mean, whoop de freaken who, I know about shadows, nobody would believe me so who could I tell." Sora was agitated, and he knew it was showing in his voice. "well," Yosuke said, "I guess I should give you some backstory as to why we wanted to meet you." Yosuke then went on to explain the events of the murder investigation, and the P1 competition they had to face. Over the course of the story, Sora had relaxed a bit so that he didn't feel too nervous since he could see why anyone with knowledge of shadows might be dangerous. Sora was surprised that the Kirijo group was helping, and that robots were a thing. But really surprised him was, "Wait, the red fog was actually a thing? I thought it was a dream cause I caught a nasty cold over golden week." "Yup," Yosuke said. "It was real. Because of our experiences with Mitsuru-san and her team, we've been a bit cautious. It was my idea, with our leader off and away, I figured that if we encountered someone who knew something about the shadows, we should ask them what they knew. Although, I think Kanji took things a bit too far." He said with a glare at the man in question. "hey hey hey, I was doing what I thought you wanted me to do." Idly, sora thought that kanji was a bit if an idiot as well as a tad hot-blooded.
"Ok, so what do you want to know, cause I've never been to this TV world before, so I'm not sure I can help." At this statement people just stared at him. "You're doing it again, you're just staring." Sora complained. Teddie then walked up to the group, and said, "Guys, why did you start without me? You said this was bear-y important." Not expecting Teddie, Sora jumped up, and reached for an evoker which wasn't there. "Wow, easy there." Chie said, "That's just Teddie." In her head, Chie was impressed with Sora's reaction time. "Anyway, Teddie, you're the one who's late, we told you when we would be here. Don't worry though you didn't miss anything, Yosuke was just telling Sora-san here about our adventures in the TV world." "Speaking of that," Rise said, "Sora-san has never heard of the TV world, yet he was cataloging shadow weaknesses meaning he has a lot of interaction with them." Rise took a breath and then asked Sora, "If you don't go into the TV to fight shadows, then how do you know of them?" "Oh, that's easy, the shadow Palace." Sora said bluntly. They all just stared at him. "You're doing it again." He complained
