Persona 3: Dreams Under the Moonlight
By Tayla Drago
Episode #11 - Theodore's out in the Real World and Elizabeth's Skills
4/29 W Early Morning
Today is Shows Day. There's no school.
What an odd name for a holiday there, huh? But I guess Japan has something special. From Faye and Pixie doing a quick thing with Junpei at the arcade mall called Panic Game of punching bag game, horror house, quiz game, charm picture thing, and such for a while on a day off.
Junpei: Hey, I look good. And check it out, a free snow man doll.
A Jack Frost of a Persona doll that is.
Pixie: Winning another plushie.
Faye: We got others to donate later.
And then both Faye and Pixie go back to the Bookworm store for more hanging out with Bunkichi and Mitsuko yet again. Another Arcana Social Link to with these two nice elderly couples.
Pixie: Go for it, Faye. I'm right behind you.
Entering inside she goes.
Iwatodai strip mall, Bookworms Used Books...
Bunkichi: Oh, you came back! Welcome, um...What was your name again?
Faye: Ah...I'm from Gekkoukan High.
A little joke for Bunkichi to pull on Faye there, like some people do on other for fun.
Bunkichi: I'm just joking. I know who you are. I'm not that old.
Faye: Oh, good one.
Laughing together there.
Bunkichi: My wife and I were just talking about you, Arisato-Chan.
Bunkichi seems happy.
Faye: Well I am happy if you are, Bunkichi.
Bunkichi: By the way, Arisato-Chan, do you like Melon Breads. Someone gave them to me, but I have more than enough. Go ahead, take one.
He had a lot of them to be very fresh and good ones to eat. Might as well bring some back for the others to eat back to dorm.
Faye: Thank you.
And so she does, they'll love them.
Bunkichi: Don't worry about it; it just a Melon Bread. There's no need to thank you.
Faye: But it shows your kindness to say thanks in return.
Bunkichi: Arisato-Chan, you're so polite just like your brother. I wish HE had been that way...
Bunkichi seems impressed.
He seems to be talking about his and Mitsuko's son who sadly pass away.
Faye: "HE"? Do you mean your son? If you don't of me asking you, Bunkichi sir...
Bunkichi: Do you want one for a friend too? ...Because it'll take us forever to finish them all.
Might as well give it to others she's seeing besides her friend, so why not.
Faye: Sure, I'll take some.
Luckily for Pixie can eat alto than other humans. Personas don't gain weight to be good to give out other foods and not go to waste.
Pixie: (Oh, yummy!)
Bunkichi: Alright, here ya go. Um...uh...err...What was your name again...?
Pixie: (Again?!)
Here we go again...Mitsuko reminds her husband of Faye's name again.
Mitsuko: Remember, dear? This is Arisato-Chan.
Faye: Yep, that's me.
Mitsuko: I'm sorry, Arisato-Chan. He's terribly forgetful lately. Here you go.
Some more food to have...
Obtained Melon Bread.
Faye: I'm sure me, Mino, and my friends will enjoy the meal.
Never let food go to waste or for Pixie to have the leftovers of melon breads.
Bunkichi: ...Where did he run off to, dear? He should be here helping customers...I'm sorry, Arisato-Chan.
Bringing up his son again.
Faye. Oh, no. That's okay, really.
Bunkichi: I'm sure you'd rather be with kids closer to your age and your brother's rather than talking to an old man like me...If all goes as planned, you'll become my daughter. Or your brother as my son, a real family.
Bunkichi is smiling.
It sure made Bunkichi feel a bit happy.
Faye: A really family, with you two were our parents. (Now that would be nice for Mino and me.)
Bunkichi: I'm sure he'll be back soon. Right, dear?
This got Mitsuko to be sad for Bunkichi brought up their son.
Mitsuko: Must you, dear...?
Mitsuko seems sad.
Faye: Who's he?
It was only fair for Faye to asks them nicely.
Bunkichi: ...Oh, that's right. Our son is deceased. My apologies, Arisato-Chan. I hope I'm not making you feel uncomfortable.
Faye: Oh no, not at all. (I better keep it to myself for now.)
Bunkichi and Mitsuko shared their painful past with Faye. As her relationship is stronger now!
And now, both Bunkichi and Mitsuko's Arcana Social Link of the Hierophant goes up to level 2. Sad moments to hopefully go through a lot for their memory of their son, from the tree at Faye's high school to stay well.
Soon it was getting dark outside.
Faye: Hey, hey. Let us all cheer up, please? No sad faces.
Yeah, it wouldn't be anything good at all.
Bunkichi: H-Hey, hey, she's right. Why the gloomy faces? It's dark outside. I don't need it to be dark in here too.
Faye: It's getting late out already? I better head on home with these melon breads.
Bunkichi: ...Please come again. We'll be waiting for you, Arisato-Chan.
Mitsuko: Please take care.
Faye: I will. And I hope you two will be well, goodbye.
After saying goodbye to Bunkichi and Mitsuko, Faye decides to go back to the dorm.
Evening
After doing some work and such for Faye to be doing and Minato on his end 'as he did his part time job at the bookstore after school', Faye goes working at the café again while Pixie watches over her friend.
Pixie: C'mon, Faye! Let's get going!
Faye: I'm only getting a fair payment and hours to work on thanks to my step-father's approval. I'll be back later tonight, everyone. Bye, Mino.
Minato: See ya, Sis.
Another working thing to be paid for again and no perverts trying to hit on Faye this time 'thanks to Pixie's help', while back at the dorm while Yukari tests out her bow and arrow on the styles in her room; Mitsuru does some more research on the Dark Hour….Hmm…Does she know something else about this mess? Akihiko trains a bit more in his room before showering to call it a night, Shuji writing down some other reports, and Junpei…Well, he was just playing his online game.
Akihiko, Yukari, and Minato: Junpei!
Mitsuru: Iori, please!
Junpei: What?! Can't I have a little fun and save the world at the same time.
Ha! Funny there, huh? Still, Junpei's a good friend, isn't he? With Minato taking care of his homework, he then plays the online game with Maya again. After on what she told him on what story she heard about to rely back, he had a lot to think about while he could still play his gaming.
[Maya: Hey, Mighty Man! On to the next level. Let's go already!]
[Minato: Oh, sorry Maya. I'll follow your lead today.]
[Maya: Then it's time to fight back!]
In Minato to be thinking about on his end…
Minato: (From what Maya just told last night about the fairytale that they made into a video game of, then what we're fighting for now could be real….)
What did Maya tell Minato about in and the other players 'to not be important' from the Innocence Sins Online since last night? Flashback time…Pay attention to because it's important to this version story of mine.
[Maya: Once upon a time…There's another world from ours, something between dreamers and nightmares having special kingdom to keep the order balances on to those who go into a deep sleep. Some to learn from bad things to never do, and others to sleep peacefully on what makes them happy. A kingdom of Dreams had both king and queen with a prince who'll take over the castle one day to run the family bloodline for the next generations to come; while his sister finds true love with special skills who they maybe appear to be human, but they're far from it. Maybe another world of humans with special powers of royalty or something…. A Kingdom of Nightmares help people when they sleep for them to learn something important to change while dreams keep them happy in their sleeps; from a family king, queen, and older sister being the princess, and of course the prince to be the same age as the prince and princess of dreams, both the nightmare prince couldn't love any other girls but one from the kingdom of dreams of the princess herself. It was a love to save all kingdoms to keep the balance intact and the battles against bad creatures in other dimensions were taken care of. Warriors and living a lovely life for those two as they love each other and their families….As was well, but that's when everything changed forever…There's a rumor saying some humans in the real world invaded theirs to take down both the Dreamers and Nightmares of their homelands to have the powers they were looking for, even with the coast of all the royal family members their lives. They were all dead to even kill off the queens and kings. Having the dreamers of brother sister try to escape as the nightmare prince helps them out since his sister was on the break of death, the humans took what they needed being the 12 Coins of Fate for they each had other elements to seal something powerful to lock some of the bad darkness away as they wanted to control it all - The Fate of Priestess, the Fate of Emperor, the Fate of Empress, the Fate of Hierophant, the Fate of Lovers, the Fate of Chariot, the Fate of Justice, the Fate of Hermit, the Fate of Fortune, the Fate of Strength, the Fate of Hanged Man, and the Fate of Death. Powerful beings to have to be controlling something of so evil that cannot be unleashed all over all universes to even take over someone's body who's weak or dead already. Once the event happened to attack the other humans sadly leaving the prince of Nightmares to be unknown as the siblings of Dreamers to escape to also somewhere unknown while hiding something in order to seal the evil thing which did kill off the humans from the group, but with the coasts of others from what says the event ten years ago, who knows on the rest of the story. Still, some say from some who's behind it all miss their chance to get the power and others were killed in the event of the evil to be stopped, one warrior sealed it off from something. As the Prince of Nightmares kept the key from within him safe and placing the lock on to someone else in their bodies to keep, he or she alive; while placing the coins and seal the beings off safely before something evil is unleashed ever again. With some evidence getting destroyed, they say the prince has been watching over a special someone to ask for help in order for the lock of the key can be saved. Ten years later….I think other members from the mess up cult wants to continue on the work. And now, well…Sorry that's all I can explain for now from the story and it was made differently into this game. The end, I guess. Anyways, let's continue playing the game.]
And that's the details of the story so far, a real event of people getting killed in the human world that happened from ten years ago? And from the kingdoms of the mess up thing, Minato might have something big to keep in mind and written everything down 'just in case' to let Faye know about it soon. Same with Pixie and the other SEES members.
Minato: Yes, let's play our game. (Now I know there's a connection going on…)
With more game time before bed and Faye and Pixie coming home to do the same thing, the question is this…When will it be a good time to talk about this mess?
4/30 T Early Morning
Afternoon
Getting through the school day of Mr. Ono teaching the students all about the history of Japan, is like he's in love with it so much with the helmet he always wears on his head.
Mr. Ono: So much to learn about the Sengoku Era…I just love it! Now on to our next section of it.
It had nothing to do with Maya's story, nope. This teacher's in the clear of course….
After School
All done at school for Faye. As she was about to leave, she got a call from her cell phone to answer. But who could be calling her at a time like this?
Faye: Hello?
Faye receives a phone call.
[Theodore's Voice: Hello? This is Theodore.}
Faye: Oh, Theo? What's going on?
[Theodore's Voice: Please come to the Velvet Room. There is a matter we need to discuss. You may use the alternate entrance located in Paulownia Mall. All you must do is find the door...I'll see you soon, Faye.]
Faye: Bye then. Wait, there's a Velvet Room at the mall besides Tartarus? Where is it?
I think Pixie might sense it to be hidden somewhere in the area.
Pixie: Just follow me.
Faye: Okay, Pixie, please lead the way.
Hanging up now...
The phone call ends.
Going to the mall for the girls locate the Velvet Room door to be underneath where the karaoke machine was down below it. Seeing it a bit closer, there was.
There is a mysterious door in a quiet alley...
Going in there to see Igor Elizabeth and Theodore again. As Igor gives out advice to Faye and Minato to help them out; while Elizabeth work on the fusion thing of Personas to gather some energies from them to make power skills for the twin siblings and Theodore wants to learn about the real world like Elizabeth does on her own end. Hey, I had to explain what their roles are in my version.
Elizabeth: Hello, girlfriend! It's good to see you again. How's it going, Pixie?
Pixie: You know, Liz, the same old thing. You just keep the copy powers of Personas to my Minato and Faye coming.
She studies spells to make copies for them to do so in my version as well.
Elizabeth: I got something special for those two. They're our guests here after all. Oh, and Faye, please take my brother on a tour of the real world for me. I do it all the time myself, but I can be busy sometimes like I am right now. So if you two excuse me…
Off she goes doing her job, while Faye does the other.
Faye: Ah, I have to do what…?
Pixie: Hey, Liz's business. Gets out, aids us, makes powerful Persona powers, and such. You know, the stuff. Just do this for them since they're doing something nice for you guys.
Theodore doesn't mind since Elizabeth goes out whenever she wants to all the time.
Faye: Are you sure?
Theodore: I don't mind one bit, Lady Faye. Please take me on the first tour, being where other humans go to hang out on daily times.
I think he might be talking about the mall.
Faye: Oh? I know a place I can take you today. To the Paulownia Mall we go.
Going from the Velvet Room and back to the real world for Theodore's day out with Faye, day one.
Theodore: Then please lead the way for me.
Off they go then…
Paulownia Mall...
Theodore: So this is the Paulownia Mall...
Faye: The best one in the area since I moved here.
Already liking the view out of everything else he's seeing in a mall so far.
Theodore: ...Indeed, it's exactly as I imagined.
Faye: Really? (He's like a little child going out for the first time.)
Theodore: It sure is for me.
A nice thought there, huh? It sure is.
Despite these words, Theo's eyes are clearly glimmering with excitement...
Faye: Are you excited to be here?
Seems like and sounds like it.
Theodore: Pshaw...I'm not that easily amused.
Faye: (It doesn't act like it to me.)
She'll just let that part be.
Theo is mumbling...
Theodore: ...? What is that over there?
Theo is pointing to the water fountain.
Even though there's a lot in the mall that Faye is at with Theodore were all nice-looking designs.
Faye: You mean the one next to us? (Just a very big water fountain.)
Theodore: An aqueous duct in a place like this...? ...The dwellers of this world must get thirsty easily.
Faye: Huh?! Are you serious?!
She only had that reaction because some humans wouldn't think that way at all. It's meant to be good looking, not for drinking for these types.
Theodore: ...I-I know its true purpose, of course. Why...it's meant to wash one's hands!
They only have the sinks in bathrooms.
Faye: If you say so... (Well, just as long as you don't put too much soap in it. I think Theo has a lot to learn than what Liz has been telling her brother.)
Must be hard getting out of the Velvet Room to learn so much like these things, huh?
Theodore: Aha. I knew from the start.
Theo is acting proud for some reason...
Faye: The more you know, I guess...
For Faye wants nothing more than to help out Theodore with the things he needs to learn about her with help.
Theodore: Hm...? And what, pray tell, is this facility here?
Theo headed towards the police station.
Faye: The police station? Here, I'll show the rest up close, Theo.
Doing so where to shop for items, accessories, armors, weapons, and where Officer Kurosawa works at which is big business from within the mall itself. Seeing the outside of the station catches Theodore's attention. Even more of the most wanted poster criminals who are on the run and to be hunted down – dead or alive for the reward.
Theodore: Those photographs...Most Wanted...Reward...? I see...So the concept of subjugation requests is not unknown here...
From back in the old times of the centuries passing by, this is how bounty hunters hunted down bad people. Just more of the law little different in today's modern life.
Faye: Something like it, yes. And bring them to justice, and we don't kill them. They need to be brought to jail alive the most.
Theo: Ah? In that case, you must capture them alive...Only a skilled hunter could accomplish it.
Theo is nodding triumphantly...
In other words, little by little Theodore's learning a whole lot more on what Faye was showing and telling him in her world.
Faye: Some skill hunters, cops or bounty hunters are on the case.
Theodore: If there are hunters of such talent in this world as well, I may want to make a few requests of my own...But on second thought, perhaps not. I already have you, Faye. Our finest guest, for that.
This guy can fight really well in any words to be a strong Velvet Room member.
Faye: I see. (Theo can fight? Then I wonder if Liz can too. Or better yet, can their boss Igor be as powerful as those two?)
Who's to say, but maybe so...Soon Theodore spots something else to go check out at the mall.
Theodore: Hm...? What is that?
Faye: What's what?
Walking up to a building an of a night club called the Escape Route. Where older adults go to party, hang out, drink, and dance.
Theodore: This...Could this be the "club" of rumor...?
The one and only from the title name of the building.
Faye: You already heard a rumor about this place? You sure study things very fast.
And only for Elizabeth to tell her brother about it in person in her own words, and now for Theodore to see it in person changes things.
Theodore: Yes, I heard no end to it...Thanks to my sisters. "Dancer, dictated by the sway of one's inner passions...A subterranean gardens of uninhibited spectacle." ...Though this marks my first time seeing it in person. Well then, let us venture in...
Faye: Wait, I wouldn't, Theo.
Going to the entrance door, it was locked during the daytime and opens at nighttime. Sorry, Theo.
Theodore: ...It's closed...?!
Faye: Sorry, Theo. I did try to warn you.
Theodore: But this can't be...
Theo is in utter shock...
Faye: We wish to get something done, but sadly not everything can't right away.
Theodore: It seems...I have no choice but to turn back...
Theo is slightly tearing up...
Yep, this guy needs to learn a lot more in the human world with some help besides Liz, but also Faye the most.
Faye: (Come on...Think of something...) Ah, come with me. This way, Theo, to the arcade next.
Another idea in mind to take Theo somewhere else that was opened.
Faye decided to show Theo the arcade.
Theodore: Ar...cade...? A series of arches? ...A-All right, let us investigate.
Walking up to the Game Parade on what games they had there – crane, punching bag, haunted houses, quiz game, photo booth, and others for Theo to see it all with Faye still being his real fun guide to him.
Faye: This play is great. You can win, play, and take photos of it whenever you want. It's where others go after a long day they have had. Work or school life.
Theo is staring at the crane game the most which was placed in front of the arcade...
Theodore: "Bird controlling game"...? ...The things inside this case...Those are birds?
Faye: Yes. I assure you, Theo, they're not real.
Theodore: They look to my eye more like stuffed animals made of cloth...
Seeing it a bit more up close.
Faye: I can show you how to play it if you want me to.
Theodore: Maybe...Hmm...Is this, then, a simulator to practice catching real cranes...?
Faye: Not even crane birds, so I'm afraid not.
I think he'll get it soon enough.
Theo is lost in thought...
Stopping again as Theo wanted to see another water fountain at the mall on the further left.
Theo: Ah...Excuse me. I note another aquatic pool over here...
Faye: You do…? Oh yes, you do. (I better show him this next one before he gets the wrong idea of the crane game to go on forever.)
Theo headed towards the fountain in the corner of Paulownia Mall...
Theodore: ...
Faye: It's the same at the other water fountain in the middle there.
He seems restless for some reason...He's looking around as well...He abruptly stuck his hand into the water.
What did he have in mind this time?
Theodore: It's 8 degrees Celsius.
Faye: You can tell by touching the water with your hands?
Kind of surprising there, huh?
Theodore: Of course I can.
Faye: I'm amazed you can tell. Maybe that's something special to have between you and Liz.
Theo sems proud...
Learning a lot at the mall today for Theo, that about does it for him. Even though it was the first one, he wanted to do other things in Faye's world gain.
Faye: And that's the tour of the entire mall.
Theodore: I see, yes...Now shall we be on our way? I'd hate to keep you out for too late...
Faye: Theo? Is there something else on your mind?
Just the one of the fun things the human world has surprised Theo a lot today.
Theodore: This world has its charms. I...would relish the chance to visit it again sometime so I may too tell Liz and my other sisters all about it myself. Faye, thank you very much for today.
Faye: You're welcome.
Theodore: Now allow me to guide you back to the Velvet Room.
Faye: Of course.
Faye returns to the Velvet Room with Theo...
Theodore: Until next time, my dear, take care.
Faye: Goodbye for now. (Theo's learning a lot. Some time on some things, but he's getting there.)
Faye leaves the Velvet Room after seeing Theo going back inside for today and Pixie joining her again.
Pixie: Hi, Faye. Please tell me how Theodore's first day into the real world went…
Telling her Persona friend all about it, elsewhere for Minato goes to visit Elizabeth alone to ask her about something very important from last night story told by Maya from the online game to be a fairytale, but it was all true. Huh? What would Liz know about that story to be true or not? Does she? Or does Theo? Or Igor? Hmmm…
Elizabeth: Oh, you've arrived. I have a lot to talk about.
Minato: I see, then please tell me what you and your brother do know about the fairytale being true or now.
Elizabeth: But of course…
Strange, huh? They know something than Faye does as well as Pixie might know a few on her end? Now back at Gokkun High School for Faye to get a few of her things from her class room, while seeing and hearing Junpei getting another lecturing from Ms. Sitem's words to make sure the students learn better. Yeah, the one who comes around to teach a bit in Faye's classroom from time to time less compared to Ms. Toriumi?
Ms. Sitem: Do you under this time, Iori?
Junpei: Yes, teacher. I'm trying…
Ms. Sitem: Then please try harder more and more, will you young man? We can't do this all day throughout your high school year.
Junpei: I know already…
An odd teacher to know a lot more in this Gekkoukan High School every single day, huh? Poor Junpei…And yet, he still needs to try to study on anything he's good at in order to pass. With Faye seeing her friend finishing up for today and Ms. Sitem passing by them both on her way out of the building 'and in a hurry for some reason'…
Ms. Sitem: Then remember these answer by next week, Iori. Now if you'll excuse me.
Faye: Oh, sorry Ms. Sitem.
Ms. Sitem: It's fine, Arisato. Please keep up in your studies.
Leaving for Junpei to finally be done on his work, he looked tired once the hardworking teacher just left the building.
Junpei: Man, I'm pooped…
Faye: There, there… (Still, Junpei should try to study a bit more son he won't be stuck from the likes of Ms. Sitem.) Just hang in there during the school days.
Junpei: I know. Hey, Faye, are you on your way home?
Kotone: I am yes. Why do you ask?
It seems Junpei wants to walk back to dorm with you...
Junpei: Oh, really? Then let's stop by somewhere.
And so, the two friends for. As Junpei wanted to hang out with Faye at the Screen Shot movie theater of the movie this week is - "Double-Barreled Justice". So it looks like Junpei insisted that Faye come see a movie with him.
Junpei: This is it! "Double-Barreled Justice"! I've been looking forward to this coming out!
This has Junpei's eyes are lit up...
Faye: An odd name for this movie title, but okay...C'mon, Junpei, let's go in!
And inside of the movie theater building they go.
Junpei: Ooh, are you looking forward to it too? Alright, let's get some good seats!
Junpei is jittery, as if he can't wait to go in...From which he did for Faye to follow him. For this guy, both Faye and Junpei watched the movie "Double-Barreled Justice" together. Seeing the action scenes on the big screen was overwhelming…The story was surprisingly complex. Hours went by for the film to end, for Faye enjoyed it but Junpei was a bit surprised a little.
Junpei: Hrm...
Faye: What's wrong?
Junpei: Nothing...The movie...It was…kinda not what I was expecting.
This has Junpei cocking his head...
Faye: Really? Well, seeing the trailer of this film tells us a bit differently.
Junpei: Still...The villain wasn't all that evil. It kinda killed it for me when he started talking about his tragic past…It isn't cool if you have to beat somebody who didn't want to be a bad guy. Bad guys should be evil all the way to the core. It's just more satisfying.
This leaves Junpei to shrugs it off a bit.
Kotone: If you say so.
Junpei: Oh, you still got time, right?
Kotone: Yes I do actually.
Junpei: Alrighty! Let's grab something to eat on the way back.
Into the Wild Duck Burger for Faye and Junpei to be enjoying their meals together.
Faye: Mmm...Tasty place as always.
Junpei: Oh, crap...The guys at school might say some stuff if they see us together.
This almost had Faye in shock to choke on her food.
Faye: *coughing* Come again?
Junpei: I mean, it looks like there's a lot of guys interested in you. Plus, the famous Yuka-tan and Mitsuru-senpai live in the same dorm, too. There are a lot of dudes who envy me because of that…
Faye: (Oh, that's what he meant.) I'm...sorry
Junpei: Yeah, it's your fault!
He just laughs and Kotone joins with him.
Kotone: Well, I don't want that much attention compared to what Akihiko's going through with his fan girls.
Junpei: Yeah, but I'm almost jealous there, almost.…Actually, you don't seem to be all that interested in guys. I mean, you're not all excited and asking me who's saying all this stuff…I mean, of course you aren't. No girl would be that desperate.
Junpei's expression suddenly turns serious…With Faye feels like she understands Junpei a little better now…With his Social Link of the Magician goes up to 2. A nice friends for Faye to see h im that way, and not as couple really.
Faye: Not me, no. I'm waiting to find a certain someone for me.
Thinking about the man in the shadows who was in Faye's dreams lately to be….more of daydreaming about him a lot.
Junpei: Hang out! You like someone? Who?
Faye: Ah...It's hard to explain right now! (Should I tell him?)
Soon for Pixie to pop up to correct on Junpei's questioning…
Pixie: Hey, Junpei! Mind your own bee's wax!
Slapping him in the face a little from Pixie's small size.
Junpei: Ouch. Doesn't hurt, but it pinches when you do that.
Pixie: Very funny! Look, it's Faye's business to have her love life a secret. When she's ready, then she'll tell you and the other members of SEES. Maybe other normal humans if she feels like it. You don't get into people's love life.
Junpei: Unlike you and Minato?
Pixie: I know he's the one for me maybe…
Part of her wants to admit it, at least she's not a complete idiot at all.
Faye: Now, now, Pixie. It's fine. But thank you for sticking up for me.
Pixie: We're friends and comrades in battle, we must stick together like glue.
Junpei: I get it already. Faye can tell whenever she wants to, not you butting in.…Well, forget about that stuff. Want more fries? You don't mind sharing with me, right?
For Pixie ate the rest since she can't get full off of any type of food for Personas, better than not wasting food for Faye to watch her weight as always.
Pixie: I'll eat them, thanks!
Faye: I'm good thank you.
After Pixie eats the leftovers, Faye and Junpei chatted for a while before heading back.
Evening
Night time at the drones again for the brother and sister of Minato and Faye were finish working for a bit and playing at the arcade for photo booth pictures they got on the best goofy shots.
Minato: How's this, Sis?
Faye: Not bad, Mino, but I got the best this year.
Minato: Keep trying. Come on, we better head back home for school tomorrow.
Faye: Got it.
Resting now with a lot on these guys' minds when they get back to their rooms for the night…From Faye now thinking about the Prince of the Nightmare Kingdom who needs to be saved, whoever he really is. For Pixie feels something from Faye to know about him and why he asks for the Arisato twins' help.
Pixie: I hope Junpei's words didn't get to you, Faye. You know whole liking someone thing…?
Faye: It's fine, Pixie, really. I'm just thinking. (I really want to know him more in person. He looks like he's in a lot of pain.)
Seems like it for deep down for Faye can tell.
Pixie: If you say so then. Know this, Faye, I'm here for you and Minato if you ever need anything then ask me. Oh, and your friends I guess.
Patting Pixie on the head a little for Faye to smile and gets some sleep.
Faye: Thank you for that, Pixie. Good night.
Pixie: Good night to you too, Faye. (So, she might be thinking about the Prince after all. Of all other people for him to find his true love? More than the Princess? Or maybe…?)
Looks like the little Persona might know something more than what Faye or the other SEES members don't know of yet. While Minato gets some sleep in his room to have a lot on his mind. From the story Maya told him about in the online computer game he was from the story which might be real to aid the people of Dreams against the Nightmares is something big, more to uncover maybe.
Minato: (The 13 Ghosts 'Of the 13 Coins of Fate Arcana Shadows'…)
Meanwhile in the Velvet Room…Theo was doing some research of his own about what Minato and Liz talked about while ago while he and Faye were out.
Theodore: Dear Sister?
Elizabeth: Yes, brother? What's on your mind?
Theodore: About what you and the boy talked about while I was exploring the human world with our guest…
Elizabeth: It's as if the stories are all true, with the other 13 Ghosts are all on the loose. They are the 13 Coins of Fate Arcana Shadows. For those who've become of the Arcana cards. Want to learn about them even more?
Theodore: Are they as dangerous as the stories say
Elizabeth: For what our Master has foretold so far, then yes it is.
Tayla: The ones who are already dead? Straight from the 2000's movie The 13th Ghosts – with backgrounds to see how some passed on with one added in one on my end with reasons why but I did it for this version of Persona 3 Portable just because…
*The First-Born Son: A ghost of a little bratty boy named Billy Michaels, who loved to pretend to be a cowboy. One day, another little kid challenged Billy to a duel, but Billy's cap gun was no match for that boy's real steel- tipped arrow that Billy's ghost still carries. Unlike most of the ghosts, this one is a mild threat, never attacking anyone and just saying "I want to play." (The Hermit Arcana Shadow)*
*The Torso: Jimmy 'The Gambler' Gambino was a gambler in the early 1900s, who caught the attention of the Mafia. After he lost a boxing bet and didn't have the money to pay up, the Mafia cut him into pieces and wrapped him in cellophane, dumping the remains in the ocean. His ghost appears as a torso with a severed head nearby and is more a neutral spirit than actively hostile. (The Hierophant Arcana Shadow)*
*The Bound Woman: Susan LeGrow was the richest girl in town and was very popular. Her one flaw was the way she toyed with boys and men. During her senior prom night, she was killed by a jilted ex named Chet Walters, a star quarterback, after catching her cheating with another guy. Her ghost lures Bobby into the dangerous basement and still shows in her prom attire, bound ropes holding her arms. (The Lovers Arcana Shadow)*
*The Withered Lover: Miki Sanada was a happy little girl who grew up at the orphanage with her older brother Akihiko and Shinjiro. Trying to make her happy at a young age growing up until a fire broke out for the two boys, headmaster, and the rest of the children escape from a burning building; only Miki was left inside trapped and burned alive for time to sadly come to an end. Unlike the other Shadows of the Arcana types, she's the one who warns the others of the danger. (The Fool Arcana Shadow – the first one with many arms of Maya in the beginning of the game)*
*The Torn Prince: Royce Clayton was a gifted and famous teenage baseball player in the 1950s who caught the eye of colleges around the USA. He died in a drag race, thanks to his challenger, a greaser who cut his brake lines. His remains are still buried at the baseball diamond, and his ghost carries his baseball bat. (The Fortune Arcana Shadow)*
*The Angry Princess: Dana Newman was a beautiful but abused lady who lived in the late 20th century. She had plastic surgeries to alter her perceived flaws, and after a botched experiment that mutilated her eye, she brutally killed herself in a bathtub at the clinic. Her ghost is bloody, naked, and carries the same knife she used to commit suicide. (The Chariot Arcana Shadow)*
*The Pilgrimess: Isabella Smith came to North America as a colonist in order to find a new life after being an orphan in England. The tight-knit community ostracized and ignored her and used her as a scapegoat, being accused of witchcraft when crops and animals mysteriously died. She denied such accusations, but she was trapped in a burning barn but managed to escape unharmed. That sealed her fate, and she died of starvation after being condemned to the pillory that she carries with her as a ghost; her skin is badly damaged. (The Priestess Arcana Shadow)*
*The Great Child: Harold Shelburne was a mentally disabled man who never outgrew diapers and had to be spoon fed even as a fully grown adult; he often made baby sounds. After being mocked, teased and tormented relentlessly all his life, he caused a massacre at the old freak show where he and his mother, Margaret Shelburne, lived. Some of the freaks had kidnapped and killed his mother as a joke one night. The circus owner, Jimbo, had Harold mutilated beyond recognition. His ghost appears as Harold did in life, with a small patch of hair, a bib covered in vomit, and cloth diapers; he still holds the ax that he used to kill his enemies. (The Emperor Arcana Shadow)*
*The Dire Mother: Margaret Shelburne, Harold's mother, was a shy little lady, standing three feet tall. She never could stand up for herself. At the freak show where she lived, she was raped by the Tall Man, another circus freak, and gave birth to her illegitimate son Harold, whom she loved more than life itself. She smothered and spoiled him from infancy and never stopped as he grew; this is the main reason for Harold's mental handicap. The two were abused to the point where Harold killed almost the entire circus after Margaret died. As ghosts, they remain together, with Harold being protective. Like the Torso, she is not aggressive, and is more of a neutral spirit. (The Empress Arcana Shadow)*
*The Hammer: A happy and honest family man and blacksmith, George Markeley was falsely accused of stealing by a higher up named Nathan and threatened with exile from their old Western town. George refused to leave, and his family was lynched by Nathan and his band of thugs while walking home from the town market one day. Seeking justice in the corrupt town, George took his blacksmith's hammer and killed those responsible, but the townsfolk chained him to a tree and drove railroad spikes into his body. His left hand was cut off and his hammer was crudely attached to it. His ghost is one of the more angry spirits and is partially responsible for Dennis' death. (The Strength Arcana Shadow)*
*The Jackal: Born to a prostitute in 1887, Ryan Khun developed a sick appetite for women, attacking and raping strays and prostitutes in the night. He voluntarily went to Borehamwood Institute for treatment to cure this problem, but the medical practices made him much worse, causing him to go completely insane after years of solitary confinement, having his head locked in a cage after breaking out of his straitjacket, and developing a hatred of humanity. When the asylum burst into flames, he chose to stay behind and perish in the fire. His ghost carries his torn straitjacket with the torn cubic head cage; it is called a sign of Hell's Winter. He is one of the more aggressive and violent ghosts, attacking and nearly killing Kathy before Kalina saves her. (The Hanged Man Arcana Shadow)
*The Juggernaut: Horace 'Breaker' Mahoney was born very disfigured and was an outcast his entire life. His mother abandoned him at a tender age, and his dad put him to work in the junkyard, using his unusual strength to crush cars. After his dad died, Horace went insane: he would take motorists and hitchhikers, tear them apart with his bare hands and feed the remains to his dogs. After several of these murders, he was arrested. A SWAT team shot and killed him when he broke free of his hand cuffs. As a ghost, he remained at the junkyard with his body riddled with bullet holes, killing intruders. Both Dennis and Cyrus remark that his kill count numbered in the 40s, making this ghost one of the most evil and dangerous of the twelve. (The Justice Arcana Shadow)*
*The Broken Heart: The World Arcana thing – still unknown on the last one.*
So wait…Why is the last name of Akihiko's on there to be someone of his little sister…? What happened to her from the event? Some details to be taken down otherwise, and the last one being 13th one is still left unknown for Theo to be left speechless…While Liz was amazed but surprised more from what she looked up so far. Cool made up thing there, huh? Now that's all I can explain for now, OK? Others will be unlocked as the story follows…
Theodore: So, there's more on why these humans are wondering spirits who're becoming Shadows of the 13.
Elizabeth: It's more like…11 bad ones to be put to rest. While one is good, the last one is very special of the unknown, dear brother. In other words, our siblings of the brother wants to know more while the sister wants to know more of the main prince himself. Do you get it now?
Theodore: I'm starting to.
