>Rolls and Persona Quest
When I call for a roll, I'll select the highest of the first three rolls made in response to the post calling for it. Natural 1's and natural 20's within the first five rolls count as critical failures or successes, and override the first three roll rule. Natural 1's and 20's negate each other. Only rolls linked to the post asking for them count, unless they are acting as corrections to misrolls that are linked to the proper post.

>Bufu

You form another blast of cold with Jack Frost and launch it, letting it slam into the slime-thing.


It lets out a roar, and the hiss of steam is finally loud enough to recognize from afar.

It seems to be staggering as you send a final bufu at it, slamming into its head and causing it to collapse.

...The slime drips off the bones slowly, and the fur seems to evaporate as it does so.


Adachi pulls himself out from behind the bush he took cover with.

"I-is it dead?" He asks, glancing at the scorch marks on the road, then at the 'body'.

>Write in
>>
>>29518197
"Only one way to find out." Tread carefully towards the thing. See if it dropped something.
>>
>>29518197
Poke it
>>
>>29518197


Snap pictures of it for later analysis before it evaporates completely.

And poke it with the stick, see if there any bit we can salvage from its corpse.

"I think so?"
>>
The last time we tried to check if one was dead we almost died. Just saying.
>>
>Pictures, investigate

You shrug, turning to Adachi.

"I think so, but..." You start, glancing back to the body."I want pictures first. "

He seems half sick as he glances over, then tosses your phone back to you. Looks like it got hung up in the commotion.

You nod, walking over to the mess and taking a few pictures quickly as the slime evaporates.

A retching noise from behind you makes it obvious what Adachi thinks of the situation.

Picking up the makeshift club from before, you give the bones and remaining slime a poke.

...Nothing happens.

>Write in
>>
>>29518835

Question Adachi.

"How did you come across it? Why did it attack you? Where were you?"

Need to trace it back to a possible location. There might be more or there might be victims.

Also, call Minako if she doesn't arrive in the meantime, let her know its settled but we might need her help in sweeping/investigating the area.
>>
>>29518835
Poke it more while waiting for minako

>>29518835

"What do you think the first sets of rolls were for?"
>>
>Question Adachi, other

You shoot off a quick text to Minako, letting her know about how the thing was dealt with, then go back to poking the thing with your club.

"How'd you find it, Adachi?" You ask when you hear a pause in the puking.

"It... Came at me when I was going home from dinner." He says, still sounding ill. "Just jumped out of an alley and chased me."

You glance back at the body as your phone rings.

...It's Dojima.

That's right... You called him and handed it off to Adachi as this mess started...


>Answer it?

>>29519939

Answer it ourselves. Let him know we're fine.
>>
>>29519939

Answer it our self and let him know that the situation is under control
>>
>>29520206
Stop being so paranoid.
>>
>>29519939
What does the slime smell like? As gross as they are, I can't imagine Adachi puking unless there was a smell to go with it.

>>29520516
unless he's faking it
>>
>>29520516
It's not paranoid to keep an eye on a suspect.
>>
>Answer it

"Hey uncle Ryo." You say in a calm tone, and hear a sigh of relief.

["Right. Where are you, Yu? Is it dealt with?"] Dojima asks. You think you can hear an engine faintly in the background....

"Same place Adachi should have said. And yeah, I killed it." You shrug, looking back over to Adachi.

He seems to have gone back to throwing up.

"He's not feeling good, I think."

You can hear Dojima sigh over the phone.

["I'll be there in a minute."] He says. ["We'll talk then."]

The slime on the bones is still evaporating slowly, with only an odd, somewhat sweet smell coming from it.

The phone clicks off, and you turn to face Adachi.

....He's by a bush, wiping his mouth and looking to finally be done.


>Write in

>>29520748

Watch the corpse. See if it leaves anything solid like the mask or anything.

"Feeling better? You're a cop, don't you have a gun with you? Didn't use it on this thing?"
>>
>>29520748
"Wanna grab a bite to eat after this?"

I don't know if this counts as trolling Adachi or trying to make him feel better.

>You're a cop, right?

"Feeling better?" You ask, getting a nod as he looks over to the thing. "Scare you that much?"

"Yeah... "

Adachi seems a bit ashamed.

"I... I realized how many times I coulda died." He says, somewhat wobbly. "I was helpless..."
...You look on at him as he gets himself under control.

"I mean, I shot it, and it did nothing! It just went through it and it hissed!" He continues, throwing his arms into the air. "And then you just showed that Stands are real and killed it!"

...That's right. You DID describe your Persona as a Stand.

"So now I'm gonna resign myself to being the comic relief I guess, since it sounds like my boss is already in on this..."

>Write in
>>
>>29522293
>Make bad pun
>Wait for Minako and Dojima while explaining more about your stand
>>
>>29522362
Sure, this.

I'd make a speech about how he's the protagonist of his own life, but I don't have it in me.
>>
>>29522362
This sounds fine.
>>
>>29522362
seems right
>>
>>29522293

"He is and we actually were about to bring you in on this case too but I guess the case came to you first." Give him a pat to get him to dont mind it too much.
>>
>Explain some, wait

"Well, I guess you gave it a shot..." You grin, and get a groan from Adachi.

"Yeah, but still... I don't want to be a secondary character..." He shakes his head, looking around. "I guess I could try and get a Stand like you have, though."

...

Better explain what it really is to him, then.

"Er... It isn't really a 'Stand'. It's called a Persona." You say after a second of thinking. "I said Stand because, hey, I thought you might be familiar with it."

He nods.

"So it's still a magic invisible ghost thingy, right?"

"Yeah. I'm able to switch between three of them, at will, too." You shrug and walk over to the body, nudging it with the stick again.

He seems to be thinking...

>Write in

Nah, let him gain the fear of death first.

Let him try a Invoker first.

See how much he wants that power.

I know there's no IC reason to get him killed off. But there IS an IC reason to put him into a life or death situation, and that's almost as good.

...A few minutes of relative silence pass as you shift around parts of the slime covering body with the stick, looking for anything that might be useful, and Minako arrives, looking out of breath, with wet hair, and like she had gotten dressed in a hurry.

"So. That's the thing you called about?" She asks, looking at the thing you're poking. For half a second, she glances over to Adachi, then shrugs.

"Yeah. It went down to a few Bufus, but..." You nod.

"It looks like... I don't even know what." She just shakes her head. "Got any idea?"

You shrug.

"Well, ice seemed to hurt it the most, and I think it may have eaten the fire I shot at it. Lightning did some damage, though." You say, thinking back to your initial salvos, then to what Igor had said...

"It might be a demon. A real one, I mean." You say after a second of silence.

Minako's expression shifts. You can't quite tell what it is, but she stands still.

"A demon. Here." Her tone is flat as she looks at the body.

One of the patches of fur finally evaporates fully, and you see the slime under it sink into the mess.

....

Seems like Minako is in thought now, too....

You shrug, pulling out your phone and flipping to the pictures.

"Anyway, this is what it looked like just after I killed it." You say, holding it out to Minako.

She looks at it carefully for a minute, before you hear an engine approaching.

Looks like Dojima is here now too you think as you hear it stop, then a door slam shut.

"Hey uncle Ryo." You say, turning to see him approaching at a fast walk. "This is it."

He glances down at the thing and shakes his head at the thing.

"What IS that even?" He asks.

>Demon. Probably.

"I'm not going to say it was a demon," You start, poking the body with the stick again. "But I think it may have been a demon."


Dojima's expression changes to one of shock.

"You...aren't joking, are you?" He asks, and you shake your head.

"No., not really." You sigh. "From what I've learned, there are two kinds. a 'real' kind, and a kind formed from humanity's thoughts, I guess."

You pause.

"I can probably find out more if I ask... I guess the best term is 'the guy who's explained this stuff to me'?" You continue, getting a nod from Minako as she seems to finally have come out of her thoughts.

"Yeah, we should probably ask Igor what's up with this." She says, handing your phone back to you.

...The street is silent for a moment.

"...We probably should clear this mess out, too." You say, looking at the slowly evaporating slime.

Those bones aren't normal, and-

...Is that a broken fang?

>Write in
>>
>>29537188
May as well take it along. Teddie could do something with it, maybe? Or Takamaru.
>>
>>29537188
Gather up the remains and look for anything useful. Look around to see if anyone saw us, then take Minako home while discussing demons. Ask Dojima to take Adachi home while filling him in on the story so far, or not, whatever he deems the best course of action as Adachi is his guy.
>>
>>29537188

Take some tissue or a handkerchief and use it to pick up the fang. Examine it abit.

Firstly before we look for an explaination from igor we need to make sure that there arent any others wandering the streets.

Ask adachi to lead us to where he first encountered the slime.
>>
>>29537188
Take the fang.

>I think the difference between a Shadow and Demon is that Demons appear in the 'normal' world. Shadows only in reflections of the real world?

>Ryo, want to meet Igor or just wait outside?
>>
>>29537479
We don't need to introduce Dojima to Igor.
If Igor wanted to meet him Igor would invite him. We've already brought in uninvited guests once and he wasn't exactly pleased
>>
>>29537530
Those were actual Persona candidates, though. People who already went in the TV World
>>
>>29537564
And so why would be bring in someone whose not even that involved?
>>
>>29537188
take the fang and go to Igor!
>>
>>29537479

Lets at least offer igor the courtesy of asking him about if first.
>>
>So, take the fang, get Adachi to lead you to where he encountered the slime, then go to Igor?
>>
>>29537762
Take everything, we can't just leave the remains of a demon sitting out there.
Otherwise yeah sure.
>>
Should we call everyone else and warn them to be careful at night on the way there too?
>>
>>29537357

This.

We can speak to igor later and we might find clues as to where it might have come from or entered this world from.
>>
>>29537577
Dojima can catch onto things, or ask things we didn't notice or think to ask?
>>
>>29537762

Yep.

>>29537818

Dont think they're out on the streets. If a gunshot hasnt alerted the neighbourhood to shit happening, let it be. We can tell them the full story tomorrow.
>>
>>29537843
No.
It's not our place, it's not our world to bring in whoever we want. It's discourteous and rude. He's perfectly capable of inviting people he wants into there and it's not our place to do that for him.
>>
>>29537762
Aye.
>>
>>29537762
seems good
>>
>>29537762
that's about right. only 1 person can enter the velvet room at a time, right?
>>
>>29537995
No
>>
>>29538032
so Adachi and Dojima are just going to stare at Yuu and Minako daydream on the street?
>>
>>29538082
Sure. Dojima can brief Adachi while they both stare intently at us
>>
>>29537910
I don't think he"ll just invite them at this point, so it's moot. It's not really rude at all. I think you're overthinking it and just don't want him to go in for whatever reason. Maybe because he's an adult, IDK
>>
>>29538117
this is gonna be awkward...
>>
>>29538171
So don't invite them for him.
And it is rude, we've done this before, and he was displeased about it, remember taking in Kanji and Yukiko (I think it was those two)? And that was with people he was planning on inviting himself, so why would you try to upset our near-omniscient guide by inviting people he clearly isn't going to invite himself?
>>
I thought people disappeared when entering the Velvet Room? The party asked where we went the first time we entered.

Also, what's Igor's motivation to do any of the things he does?
>>
>>29541714
He's Philemon's subordinate, who is a bit more optimistic about humanity. Whereas Nyarly would push events towards humanity getting fucked over.

>Take the fang, get Adachi to lead you to where he encountered the slime

You lean over, picking up the fang and sticking it into a pocket.

Dojima gives you a questioning look, but Minako just nods.

"That felt like it might be important, right?" She asks.

"Maybe. It stuck out to me, though." You say, just shaking your head. "Anyway, we probably should get this thing cleaned up.

Dojima grunts in assent, and starts to head back to his car.

"I think I have a few trash bags in the back." He says in a resigned tone. "We can put what we can into those, and maybe burn the rest?"

It's not the worst idea...

...

After a few minutes of work, you've managed to get the bones and a majority of the slime into a few bags Dojima retrieved, and have loaded them into the back.

A glance over to Adachi shows that he's looking like normal for him, but a bit worried.

"Hey." You start, catching his attention. "Mind leading me to where you first encountered it? There might be more out and if we can find them..."


"Oh, crap." Adachi's expression pales. "M-more of them?!"

You nod, and his face goes white.

"Yeah. Can you lead me to where it first appeared?"

"S-sure. Is, uh..." He seems to look over at Minako, like he's trying to remember her name. "She gonna come with us, too?"

"Yeah I'll go with you two." Minako nods. "I'm Minako Arisato, by the way. With the Shadow Response Unit."

Adachi's expression changes to one of surprise.

"Wait, you mean that branch that's-"

"Been called a waste of funding by almost everyone? Yeah, that's us." Minako shakes her head. "We deal with supernatural stuff a lot, and since not many people are in the loop...."

Adachi seems to get it, and you turn to face Dojima.

"Go on. I know I probably can't help against anything that shows up." He sighs. "I'll get this stuff somewhere out of the way, I guess."

You give him a nod, thent turn to Adachi.

"Alright then, lead the way."

...

A few minutes of walking, and you find yourself and your group in the shopping district, near one of the closed stores on the far end of it.

"Around here." Adachi says, pointing at an alleyway. "It lurched out, and I started to run."

"Maybe there's something related to it in there?" He glances down the way nervously.

>Check it out

"I'll give you two the all clear." You crick your neck and start down the alley carefully.

Keeping Izanagi ready to summon, you make your way around the few trash cans sitting there. Near the middle of it, you see several bits of damaged trash sitting around...

And what appears to be a circle drawn on the ground

Looking back, you wave Adachi and Minako over, clearing things out so you can get a better look at it.

...

It's a circle alright. Drawn in what appears to be a chalk, there's a few scribbles by it, and some drops of slime around it.

I hope that chalk is specially made/enchanted, otherwise we're going to be drowning in demons very quickly.

Probably, yeah. And if it's made with special enchantments, there's probably some society, a cult, that produced it. And that cult may originate in Tokyo
