Captain Blues: Ahoy! Setting Port on Persona Island to bring a boon of information to you all. So since I've taken over, I've had a lot of questions regarding the future of this fic since Rain is gone so I decided to give a little behind the scenes work on this to let you guys know what's going on and what's going to happen.

When Rain stated this fic this was the plan.

It's supposed to involve All the palaces (including *SPOILERS* palace) and a new palace, mostly in Persona Scramble's plot with our loveable goofy Officer and then the final dungeon in Mementos itself because I guess he feels that battling a GOD should be the final end instead of *SPOILERS* palace.

I will be sticking to that somewhat.

When it comes to the Phantom Thieves, you have (in order of awakening):

Joker/Ren
Mona/Morgana
Skull/Ryuji
Panther/Ann
Lioness/Shiho
Mage/*Spoiler*
Fox/Yusuke
Pawn (Into Bishop)/*Spoiler*
Noir/Haru
Queen/Makoto
Hollywood/*Spoiler*
Violet/*Spoiler*
Navi/Futaba
Wolf/*Spoiler*
Liberty/*Spoiler*

So FIFTEEN WHOPPING THIEVES (And I am not counting Crow as a thief so he is not any of the spoiler characters). I'm sure you guys know about Wolf and Violet and Knight and maybe even Liberty but Mage? Well, I hope to who you think they are.

And now the Pairings:

Ren/Shiho/Makoto.
Ryuji/Ann
Haru/Hifumi
Morgana/*Spoiler* (Yes he gets one, Yes I know the weirdness of it but trust me, you'll see why)
Sae/*Spoiler* (You'll see why)
Zenkichi/Kawakami
Sojiro/Ohya (Yeah…That's going down!)
Mishima/Yusuke (Yeah, this is also going down and BOY will this one be fun)
*Spoiler*/*Spoiler* (I don't think anyone can guess these two until Kaneshiro's arc)

Sojiro and Ohya separately is that cool uncle and cool aunt and I have a feeling they are going to vibe very well. Mishima and Yusuke…The weirder of the pairings but trust me. I have my ways.

As you guys have noticed, I've left three names missing.

Kasumi
Futaba
Crow

Crow…Crow, Crow, Crow…..Originally, I was going to pair him with an OC…Well not really because this OC is in the game but doesn't have name. She was going to be the Newspaper girl you talk to in Shujin to gather info but after trying out different storylines, it just didn't work out.

And plus, Crow is going to play close to character so outside of his strange, almost darkly romantic rivalry with Ren, I can't foresee him in a pairing.

Which leaves Kasumi/Futaba.

You guys don't see it now but the storyline between Ren and Kasumi is far from over and far from explained and the reason for this pairing is not only because it'll be cute but because it has HUGE storyline consequences regarding what happens when certain…things come to light.

Out of all of the pairings, Rain was really stoked about this one and as someone who was reading this before taking over and now knowing that secret, you will not be expecting what is going to happen.

There have also been questions regarding the cute gray-haired Jose and trust me when I say, you guys will be shocked at what I plan to do with him. So this was just to give a little update regarding this fic. The actual chapter should be out later today. I'm just making the last little edits and whatnot.

So until then, I'm setting sail!
