Chapter 7
4/17- Daytime
Police Station, Interrogation Room
Uncle Dojima and a scraggly guy with a red tie walk into the room, with Uncle Dojima giving me a 'Why am I not surprised' look.
"I swear I've been in this situation with my brother-in-law before…" he mutters.
What?
"Dear gods, Yu," Dojima just facepalms "Why does everyone in the police department think you're the kidnapper?"
"I've been thinking the same thing since I went to school earlier today." I tell him "Look, Uncle Dojima, I'm innocent. All I did was meet her when I was coming back home, and accompanied her when she was shopping. It was fun- I mean I didn't do anything to her! I swear!"
Scraggly whispers into Uncle Dojima's ear "Didn't you say he moved in a few days ago-"
Dojima swats him with an offhand slap before rubbing his temples again "Okay then, if you're telling the truth about that, can you explain why you guys were armed?"
-Sell out Yosuke and brand him a delinquent
Say it was my fault
Tell the truth
No, no… that's just a dick move, even by my standards. Let's try this again:
Sell out Yosuke and brand him a delinquent
Say it was my fault
-Tell the truth
"He was trying to show off and he forgot that bringing weapons to a mall was illegal… and then I was arrested for being a suspect in the kidnapping case." Wow, I still sound like I'm throwing him under the bus.
Dojima and Scraggly exchange weird glances before continuing "So, how do we know you're not lying?"
"Because I'm your nephew."
-"Because let's face it, I could have done worse."
"Because it doesn't make sense that I'd kidnap and kill people I barely knew the first few days I was here."
I dunno why I'm using that second argument when that third one sounds so much better for my case, but my panicking is kinda screwing with my judgement...
Uncle Dojima stares at me for a good minute, before sighing "You really are your parents' kid."
Yeah- wait, what's that supposed to mean?
Dojima threw his hands up "Adachi, we don't have any proof about him being the kidnapper, right?"
Scraggly, who's probably this Adachi guy, nods dumbly "Well yeah, but he still has that weapons charge-"
"He was never holding the weapons himself and it's only a first offense, so we can let him off on a warning…" he rubbed his temples again "Dear god, I'm gonna need a cold one once this is over…"
Police Station, Lobby
My god, that was awkward… I live with the guy who interrogated me… This is gonna get weird when I get home, I just know it.
Now, where did Yosuke go? He wasn't in there with me… Why do I have the feeling he got processed?
"Yo, dude!" Yosuke and (for some reason) Chie called out for me. Huh, guess he didn't get processed.
"Dude, where did you go?" Yosuke asks, worried.
"I had to explain to my uncle why I got arrested…" I told him.
Chie looks at me with a confused expression "Huh? But you came out of the interrogation room."
"My uncle is a detective who works here. And take a wild guess who interrogated me."
They both give me a cringing expression. Yeah, we stare at each other awkwardly until I spoke up "So, I don't think I'm getting my stuff back…" NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!
"Yeah, and we can't exactly just barge into the TV World unarmed like total idiots…" Chie says, before she realizes her mistake and glares at me "No. NO. You are NOT gonna-"
Hear her out
-CHARGE!
I start running fast out the door. Chie, noticing that I was gonna try to charge into the TV world like an idiot, runs behind me and tackles me onto the ground. We didn't even get past the door in the police station. Ah well, there's a hot athletic girl on top of me, so silver lining.
"The last time you guys went in there unarmed you nearly died!" I wish I can take Chie seriously, but when you feel a hot girl's ass pressing against your back, it's really hard to focus.
Yosuke is still behind us, shaking his head at me in disbelief "Well, I guess Junes had some sports equipment we could use for weapons…"
Yeah, we can casually walk into an electronics section with unpaid sports equipment- that reminds me, did I ever pay for that golf club? I probably should, considering all the dents I left it from beating the crap out of the fake Yosuke-Frog-Ninja-Centaur-reject. Now that I mention it, didn't I just leave it in there?
"Weapons? I think I have an idea…" Chie ponders out loud.
We could just ask a nice cop to get us weapons for money. Adachi might… Nah, why would he even want us to succeed? Now that I think about it, what kind of cop would sell weapons to teenagers? That's just plain irresponsible, and that's coming from me!
"Do you want me to steal stuff?" I ask.
They look at me in surprise. "Why would stealing be an option?" They both ask in unison.
"I mean this is a police station and this place does have a lot of weapons…"
"No! You aren't stealing anything!" Chie tells me, clearly angry with me.
Well it's too late for that. I'm actually not that bad a thief. In fact, I got so good at it, I trained this messy-haired kid on stealing things a long time ago… I wonder if I was a bad influence… nah, he probably turned out okay.
Chie cups her chin in thought "Actually, I think I know this one place that can sell us weapons.
That's great and all Chie, but can you get off right now? You're kinda getting heavy...
Daidara metalworks
So, this place huh? To think they'd have a working blacksmith in this neck of the woods. Ooh! I wonder what else they have in this town! I wanna see the shrine next! Maybe they have cute miko working there or-
Oh, I think Yosuke and Chie already walked in. I should probably stop daydreaming like an idiot and actually go inside.
I walk inside and spot the two of them tlking to the guy with the scar. I try not to stare… at the scar… Man, that probably must have one hell of a backstory. Maybe he got into a samurai sword fight and got hurt when his sword broke. Or maybe he got attacked by a wild animal. Or maybe he was fighting a giant robot… Yeah, a robot! And it had massive claws and razor sharp teeth and-
"Kid, are you okay?" The guy says to me, concerned.
Oh crap! I have to say something! Or else he'll notice that I'm staring at his massive scar! Umm, umm…!
"Scar."
"Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr."
"Big scar."
"Scar! Scar! Bloody SCAR! Dude, what is up with that scar! Scar! Scar!"
-"What are you selling?"
"I'm selling art!" He grins wildly, gesturing to his store "Take your time, look around!"
Nice guy with a distracting scar. Good to know.
Ok, look around. Hey a katana. Let's see the price… Here's a label… Imitation katana.
…
Okay, not the katana. I am not ready to die by my sword breaking and stabbing me in the face. I want a sword… And maybe not to stare at his scar since it' is kinda rude. But mostly a sword.
"Scar."
-"what swords do you have for sale?"
"Ah, so you're interested in my swords? They're some of my best work."
Then why is there one labeled 'imitation' then?
"Do you want me to show you a special one from the back?" He jabs his thumb towards the back.
-"Yes."
"Scar."
"No."
"Just wait I'll be right back."
He leaves to a back room in his shop.
I hope it's a lightsaber. I really hope it's a lightsaber. Maybe it's a double bladed lightsaber! That would be awesome!
"I'm back." He says.
Please be a double bladed lightsaber- It's a… Aww, it's not a double bladed lightsaber, it's not even a lightsaber. It's just a double bladed katana… Actually that is cool, but there's no way I can ever hide that on my body.
"Heh, good piece, right-" He notices my awkward stare and gives me a knowing look "Oh, I think I may know what you're looking for…"
He leaves and comes back with… A wicked looking greatsword! I mean DAMN! That looks amazing! And did I really just use the word 'wicked'? What am I, my parents?
"Like what you see?" Daidara grins "Y'see, this is a custom piece I made for this big movie, but they never bothered to claim it. Pfft, and they didn't even bother paying me, those bastards…" He starts grumbling under his breath "And to think that movie would make-"
"You were saying?" I get him back on track before this conversation goes down a weird road.
"Whazzat? Oh yes," he clears his throat before continuing "This here is a custom one-sided greatsword, hand-forged with damascus steel, made sharp, light and battle-ready, one of the best I've ever made.
That. Sounds. Awesome.
"For only 298,000 yen."
That. Sounds. Horrible.
Why would I pay 298,000 yen for that? That's kind of a dealbreaker for me. Sure it's custom, but I got like 10,000 yen in my pocket right now. As awesome as that sword is, I have to decline it.
Or...
Maybe I can just take it…
I mean, he is behind the counter… If I start running he'd have to go all the way to the other side of the store that would give me... maybe... a 4 second head start? Do I know the layout of this town well enough to get out of his line of sight? Hmm… I don't see any security cameras… I didn't touch anything, so there is no real proof of me being here than his testimony…
I guess I could steal it...or I could just just don't steal it…
Steal it
-Don't steal it
There's no talent in stealing like that! It's even more stupid to steal and he knows about it. If you really have to steal something, take it from those who can afford to be robbed… or at least really have it coming.
He seems like a nice guy, and this is still a business. And considering the many, many stores closed down around here, taking it would probably bankrupt him
I guess should just refuse it and hand it back to him.
"Go on, you can have it." He says with a shrug.
What?
"Really?" I ask.
"Go ahead. No one even wants that thing and it's been taking up space. And that price is one I make to scare off no-good idiots. Besides, even if you really wanted to use it in a fight in real life, it takes so much energy from swinging it once that you would probably be left exposed and have to take a hit from the other guy. Or, y'know, you'd just trip and fall."
Well that sucks.
"And you'd probably be arrested on the spot by cops if you were caught with it in public."
Well that sucks a little more. I don't need to get arrested a second time.
"Not to mention its size really draws attention."
That's it! This thing'll bring me more trouble than it's worth. I can't carry this into the TV world and back without getting arrested. Not to mention the fact that I would be at a disadvantage if I missed!
"No thank you. I appreciate the offer but I don't think I can even use this-"
"What do you mean by use?" he glares at me suddenly, frightening me (and presumably Chie and Yosuke; I can't really tell since they're behind me) "It can be used in a fight, but no one in their right mind would actually use it, especially not in this day and age!"
Oh crap.
"Don't tell me that you were planning on actually using this now, were you?!"
Oh crap.
Oh crap.
I think I should have run away- No, calm down! Panic always clouds your judgement.
Run now!
-Play it cool.
Panic!
I calm down as much as I can. I can get through this.
"So what were you gonna do with it?!"
Umm…
"I was going to murder someone…"
"I was gonna slay a monster…"
"Scar."
Shit! Why're all these choices so crappy! Aw… fuck it!
"I was going to murder someone…"
-"I was gonna slay a monster…"
"Scar."
"YOU MEAN THE RIVER GUARDIAN?!" He screams, genuinely interested… And intense… "THE GIANT MYTHICAL FISH THAT LIVES IN THE RIVERBANK!?"
…
…
…
The what?
"You know I saw that monstrosity!" He jumps over the counter and starts ranting "I went fishing with my friend who normally stays by the riverbank one time and we went out and actually saw that magnificent creature. It was enormous. When we went over to take a better look at, we didn't know how ferocious it was! Before it was chaotically floundering around in an attempt to put itself back in the water, it grabbed onto my head and wouldn't let go. And I still have the scar to prove it!"
Well that explains the big scar on his face.
He turns around and points to the back of his neck "This one right here!" If I look real close there are some very inconspicuous little scratch marks on his lower neck. Unfortunately...
THAT JUST GIVES ME MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS STORY!
What about the x-shaped scar on his face?! And how on earth is there a giant fish in a river?! And how does this have anything to do with me getting a weapon?! Just what is up with this town?!
"If you actually are going after that sea devil, I want you to use one of my blades…" He shoves the sword into my arms, tears in his eyes "And gut that bastard in the throat! Can you do that for me, boy?"
I... guess I got a sword… and I'm going fishing later. But one problem still remains: I still can't hide it on me.
Try looking up the solution on the internet
-Smuggle it in with a box
Yeah, I guess that might work. The fear from the initial killings probably died down a bit after my arrest, so I guess there'll be less police. Probably.
"Thank you. I'll get back on the um… giant fish, as soon as possible." I bow "And I might need a box for this."
Swords aren't really my kind of weapon, I mean it's cool but I prefer a bow, but I guess it'll do for now.
South Shopping District
After I bought myself a sword, I left Yosuke and Chie in the shop. They can buy their own weapons; it's not like they were expecting me to buy their weapons for them or anything, right?
*FLASH*
Gah! What the hell?! Where did this door come from?! It's just sitting there, right in the middle of the sidewalk! I look around franticaly; nobody else even seems to bat an eye at it. Am I the only one who can see it or something?!
This place is more exciting than the people here give it credit for...
*So it finally begins… Now, If you'll just give me a moment of your time…*
Great, voices in my head… Annnnnnd the key I got from my dream is in my pocket and shining…
I should really check if I'm crazy.
What the hell, I'm going in.
Velvet Room
Annnnnnd… I'm in the back of the suspicious moving vehicle again, with Margaret, Pointy-Nose and- Hey, it's that girl from the the first day i got here. Still as cute as ever…
"We have been expecting you." Igor greeted "The catastrophe that is headed your way… It has already taken human lives in its approach towards you… But you have nothing to fear. You already have the power to fight against it. It seems that the time to use your Persona has come." he chuckles creepily.
"Your persona ability is that of the wild card." If you strengthen your bonds properly, their power will help you overcome any ordeal. Our role is to facilitate that."
"My contribution… is to give birth to new personas. By mixing multiple persona cards, I can transmute them into a new form… This, in other words, is the fusion of personas. You have the power to hold multiple personas and to use them accordingly. When you defeat an enemy, the seeds of possibility will appear before you as cards. At times they may be hard to grasp… but you must master your fear and reach out to them. When you obtain new cards, do not hesitate to bring them here. If you have been developing your social links, then your persona will gain even more power… They will be one of your chief sources of strength… You would do well to take this to heart."
I swear, these lectures are starting to get tedious…
"The tome in my hand is the persona compendium. Registering the personas you hold will allow you to recall them at any time. Please see me when you wish to use it. Oh, one more thing. I would like to introduce a new resident of the Velvet room, who will be helping you on your journey. Marie?"
"Yeah, I can hear." The cute girl, I guess her name's Marie, rolls her eyes "Nice to meet you."
Still kinda mean. Oh well, I still like her.
Wait, what do you mean 'Nice to meet you.'? We met earlier. I wonder if I could jog her memory…
I could say "I met you somewhere…" or ask "What are you doing here?" or just say nothing.
I wonder what i can do to make her rememberme. Normally I make one hell of an introduction… That's it!
"How could my lovely cutie of a wife forget me?"
"W-What!?" Her face flushes red before turning angrily "I told you already I'm not your wife! StupidflirtyweirdohusbandIhateyou!"
She remembered me and called me her husband. I call that a victory.
"My, my, do you work fast." Margaret says teasingly "Please excuse her rudeness. This is Marie. Her soul is still very young and-"
"Shut up! Don't tell him more about me than you have to." Marie barks at her.
Wow, rude and cute. I like that... I have weird taste in girls...
"As you can see, She might be brusque at times, but please understand that she is only an apprentice and forgive her for her impoliteness." Margaret bows in apology.
"Got it."
"I guess."
-"Anything for her."
She chuckled"You seem to like her already." Margaret said teasingly "Very well. Marie will be dealing with 'skill cards. Using these cards will allow you to provide your personas with new powers. Also, I am sure that she will help you form a bond between yourself and the 'outside world.' Marie will contact you at a later date. Please feel free to speak with her here to use her services."
I don't know how, but that felt a bit complicated.
Igor chuckled "Do you recall my words to you before? 'The coming year is a turning point in your destiny… If the mystery goes unsolved, your future may be forever lost.' I meant precisely what i said. Defeat in battle is not the only way your journey may come to an end… Please do not forget this. When next we meet, you will come here of your own will. *chuckle* I look forward to it. Until then, farewell."
South Shopping District
At least he won't interrupt me in my sleep... maybe...
I wouldn't mind Marie though-
Wait a second, what was I doing? I think I had to go somewhere… I needed to... I needed to... Oh, right, the TV.
Junes Department Store
They are in their school uniforms… on a Sunday. It's a Sunday… Why do I have the feeling that I missed something?
"Dude, Why aren't you wearing your uniform?" Yosuke asks.
"Isn't it Sunday?" I ask back.
"Don't you remember what we said in the shop?" Chie asks me with a frown "We said to hide our equipment in our uniforms so that we don't stand out."
First of all, I left the store before you guys did, so I don't know what conversation you're all talking about. Second, you guys are standing out more by wearing them! Granted, I don't see your weapon so the concealment part's working, but as the murder suspect here I don't need the extra attention.
"Look, does it really matter?" I ask as I walk over to the TV section "Come on, we need to get Yukiko out, don't we?"
Yosuke nods in agreement "You're right; the longer she's there, the longer she's in danger."
TV World- In front of... some Castle… for some reason...
After we threw ourselves into the TV World and made contact with Teddie, we had him use that bear nose of his to find Yukiko's location. However, nobody ever told me that she was in a castle. Or that there even was a castle in this place. Or the fact that she somehow got inside the castle when she entered the Midnight Channel. I mean seriously, I thought when you come into this place, you were still technically outside and you needed to physically go in… you know what, I'm just gonna move on, I'm just confusing myself by this point.
"So this is where she is." Chie says as she cracks her knuckles. Wow, they must've been really close "Come on guys, let's get her out of there!" she says as she charges inside.
Yosuke blinks in surprise "Wait, we're just barging in without a plan?!"
I smirk "Of course we have a plan: Chie charges in and we follow a couple seconds later…" I look at my phone "Starting… NOW!" I charge in after her, dragging Teddie along with me.
Behind me, I think I hear Yosuke say something along the lines of "Ugh... why am I the sane one?" before following us in.
Castle Floor 2
"BOOYAKA!" I yell as I kick down the door, with Yosuke and Teddie wheezing behind me as they barely climb the stairs behind me. In front of me was Chie who had paused for some reason.
"SHE SAID RED LOOKS GOOD ON ME… I HATED MY NAME… YUKIKO… "SNOW"..."
I pause and look up as a disembodied voice echoes throughout the room. It sorta sounds like… Yukiko.
"SNOW IS COLD AND IT MELTS QUICKLY…"
Huh, this is sort of like when Yosuke and I entered that old liquor store when we were here the other day.
"CHIE IS SO KIND…"
Yeah, this is like- Wait, didn't a second Yosuke appear last time?
"'Chie is so kind,' huh? What a joke."
I look back over to Chie and… another Chie. Uh oh.
"Are we talking about THAT Yukiko!? She says I'm protecting her!? She says she's worthless! *Chuckle* That's how it should be, right!?" Fake Chie snickers, her creepy eyes piercing right through me and presumably Chie.
Chie looks scared. "What are you saying?"
"Yukiko's sooo good looking… sooo fair-skinned… sooo feminine… She's the one all the guys drool over." Fake Chie snarls "When Yukiko looked at me with such jealousy… Man, did I get a charge out of that!" She laughs unnervingly "Yukiko knows the score. She can't do anything if I'm not around… I'm better than her… Much, much better!"
Ouch.
Chie starts shaking, panic and fear in her face "N-No! I would never think that!"
"Chie, calm down-" Yosuke tries reaching for her, only for her to swat his hand away. She's clearly losing her nerves here. And I'm narrating to myself when I should be doing something, great.
Fake Chie chuckles "That's right. I'm the one who can't do anything alone. I can't win as a girl, let alone as a person… I'm pathetic. But Yukiko… She depends on me… *chuckle* That's why she's my friend… I'll never loosen my grip on her… She's too important to me…"
Chie starts visibly sweating "No, that's not how I think of her…"
Fake Chie snorts "So, you're just gonna turn your back and deny me again? But times are different now. When the time comes… I'll be the one left. You won't mind, right? I'm still you!"
"Shut up…" Chie stammers, before suddenly screaming"You're not me!"
"Heehee… Ahahahahahaha!" Fake Chie laughs maniacally as shadows start engulfing her!
Aw, crap! It just got dangerous. I turn to Chie; she's somehow unconscious. Great, that's just great. I signal Teddie to get Chie out of here as Yosuke and I face off against the-
Bikini-wearing banana-racist hooded dominatrix… sitting on top of these three grey girls, who are clearly struggling to support her weight. I-I really don't know what to say about this; that's just weird, even for me.
"I AM A SHADOW, THE TRUE SELF…" Grand Wizard Dominatrix declares "WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU'RE DOING? TRYING TO DEFEND THE 'REAL' ME? THEN YOU'RE GONNA PAY THE PRICE!"
Ugh, as much as I'd love to make a joke about this. I really don't have time to make up a joke.
Attack
Zio
-Knock over the bottom girl
I quickly sprint around the bottom girl and stomp on the back of her calf, forcing her to her knees. Almost immediately, she tumbles onto the floor, sending middle girl, top girl and Grand Wizard Dominatrix crashing down.
I turn towards Yosuke and Teddie, who were staring at me in total disbelief. Really?! Oh come on, that was clearly the most reasonable course of action!
"What are you waiting for?" I say with a crossed expression "Beat this racist perv into the ground!"
All-Out Attack!
Stomp her into the ground!
-Pound her till she can't stand anymore!
I jump onto Grand Wizard Dominatrix and start wailing on her like there's no tomorrow.
*THWACK!*
This is for Chie!
*THWACK!*
This is for Yukiko!
*THWACK!*
This is for for being racist even though Chie doesn't seem like the racist type!
*THWACK!*
This is for wearing a stupid banana on your head!
*THWACK!*
This is for making those three girls (who are probably Shadows anyways) support you in a totally uncomfortable-looking position!
*THWACK!*
This is because I exploited the fact you're virtually an unstable human-totem pole!
*THWACK!*
This is for me not being prepared with any sex jokes; your appearance really caught me off guard!
*THWACK!*
This is for wasting my time pounding your ass!
*THWACK!*
And THIS is for-
"Dude, chill out!"
"Sensei, calm down!"
Yosuke and Teddie suddenly yank me off Grand Wizard Dominatrix.
"What's your deal?! I was trying to beat that-" I suddenly turn towards Grand Wizard Dominatrix; in front of it was my persona Izanagi, with Jiraiya trying to restrain it just as its master was doing to me.
"...Huh. I don't recall summoning Izanagi." I mutter after a good minute.
"Well, in the middle of your little beatdown, you summoned him, and he started punching her alongside you. However, I'd like to bring your attention to the crater."
"Crater?"
Yosuke pointed at the crater where the Grand Wizard Dominatrix's head was.
OOOOOOOOoooooohhhh… I see what happened. I unconsciously summoned Izanagi and used him to beat beat the racist's head in. However, I made him hit so hard, it started breaking the floor... Oops.
"Yeah. If you went any further, you would've brought the floor down with us." Yosuke deadpans "What the hell got into you?"
"I dunno…" I shrug "I guess I didn't want to stay in a room with a racist."
"What the hell made you think that Shadow was racist?!"
"The whip, the hood, and the discolored people under its subservience, duh." I didn't really need to spell it out for him, did I?
Yosuke stares at me with a dumb expression "...That, actually makes sense…" he admits before shaking his head in frustration.
As he shakes his head, muttering something along the lines of 'If I admit he's right, I'm gonna have'ta admit he's always right…', Chie suddenly rises to an upright position, wobbling back and forth.
-"Are you okay?"
"Stand up."
She groggily gets back on her feet, massaging her temples. "Ugh, what happened?"
"You fainted." I utter bluntly.
Chie rolls her eyes "Well yeah, I can see that. I meant what happened to that... thing?" She turns towards the now docile and normal looking doppelgänger (which reverted back to that form sometime after I turned away) of hers.
"It's still there."
-"You know what you must do."
Chie pouts "Okay… I know what I gotta do. God, it's so embarrassing though." She slowly approaches the thing, muttering 'You can do this…' to herself over and over again before taking a deep breath, kneeling down to it and saying "I get it, I'm not that pretty, I get jealous of the attention she gets and love the attention, but she's still my best friend and. But she's still a precious friend. You are me. A side of me I wouldn't admit. But you're still part of me."
The duplicate glances at her, almost smiling at her, before dissolving into mist. In its wake, a yellow jumpsuited figure with glowing yellow eyes piercing through a solid motorcycle helmet and a double-bladed lightsaber. Way better than the racist S&M shtick it originally had, by the way.
She collapses on the ground, barely managing to sit up. She's probably more than a little exhausted from all this.
-"Let's leave for now."
"Are you okay?"
"I'll go on ahead, you guys make sure Chie's safe for now."
"No… *huff* I can still keep going…" Chie groans out.
You look like you got hit by a truck…
"Yukiko is still in here…"
You might have that brand new persona on you, but it won't do you any good if you can't stand.
"Sensei," Teddie catches my attention "it's okay, your friend should be safe for now because she's normal."
What?
"Shadows don't attack normal people." He explains (Though how he knows that kinda makes me questions his sources) "They only become really violent when it's foggy in your world."
Fog… Fog… Well, last I checked, the weather should be fine for a week or so. I sigh. I'm sorry Yukiko, but we're gonna need to regroup. We'll come back for you tomorrow; I promise.
A/N: Thank you all for the wait. I know it's been a while but we've been busy with classes and the stress that comes with it. We've actually been trying to update this story but we've also been trying to make this story the best it possibly could which includes making this version of Yu both as believable and as fun as possible. Which is not exactly the easiest task. Of course, we're getting along nicely, so there's that. And as usual, here's story about my brother. As I may have mentioned before, he is really good at learning new skills fast and excelling at them. So he went into archery because of a lifelong interest from playing The Legend of Zelda games and used it as his main weapon in other games. So after he bought a bow and a few arrows to try his hand at it in real life, he realized there were no archery ranges nearby. Undeterred, he made a big one in our basically unused basement. Let me reiterate; he MADE an archery range in our basement. By rearranging things in our basement, buying a target from a store and made protective precautions in case of danger, he made a fully functional archery range that he used for practice and got the hang of it within days. And not with a compound bow; he got himself a recurve bow, used for game hunting, that's far more difficult to use than a compound bow. And that's about it. Now that all's said and done, please review!
