1/11 training and breakfast

[ As last minute prep for the dungeon, everybody has been called to get together for a training session during midnight at Lockdown, with promise of a light breakfast at the clubhouse afterwards and the suggestion that people take it easy during the day before they split up into their respective teams and head to the castle and the mountains.

Training is largely done in the school shrine, on the second floor where there's wide empty space without the maze to account for, where you can practice tactics together, or take on the Minato challenge where he has Messiah blast you apart in half a second and then immediately heals you and asks if you want to go again.

Breakfast at the clubhouse is split between western and traditional styles, whether you crave fluffy pancakes, or are more of a miso soup and grilled fish on rice sort of person. If you want anything in particular for lunch, Kido is on lunch duty and promises to make whatever you want, so long as you go out to the store and bring the ingredients back.

Thanks to everybody's efforts so far during the month, whether it's interacting with the townspeople or talking with the mayor or donating gemstones to the mountain shrine, the effects can already be seen around town, with the townspeople less wary of the Persona users, allowing them to purchase what they want in the stores if they want to have their own supplies to take into the dungeon later.

Now go out there and get along and learn to work together or is2g ]

Hehe~ I have the same question, so we can ask them together~

[ She can be insightful sometimes, and this time it's because she's the same way. Yeah, she's a Persona, but without a host, she shifted from being able to fight using all sorts of elemental spells, to having a skillset that only serves to protect herself and herself only.

She's not too bothered, though, giving herself the time to figure it out. But Sasuke probably feels the pressure of time more than she does, so she flips over the first card he chose and looks down at it. ]


...The upright Tower! [ haha! ] It's the disaster card! One that says everything is a complete and utter mess, but as the first card, it represents the past. Asking how to get stronger, and feeling really lost, it's 'cause you're looking at how things were before and all you can see is disaster, right?
not_that_sasuke: ([Fight] as if my)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[D-Disaster card... He's got a bad feeling about this, but he just nods.]

And the next one?

[ Honestly, the Tower being the first part is good, because it can only go up from here. It's a much better fortune than having the Tower as the future card.

rng gives us the next card: ]


Reversed Death.

[ hm ]
not_that_sasuke: ([Shock] at twilight)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm.]

Is that bad?

[That seems bad??]

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-23 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
There are no bad cards~

[ IT'S OKAY!!! It's fine. You use the cards to fit your narrative, and Ala has a positive narrative brewing. ]

The upright Death means change, see? Death of the old, and birth of the new. Reversing that just means you're resistant to change— there's all this stuff that's weighing you down from the Tower, and you want so badly to change, but you don't know how and you're hesitant to. That's sorta where we are, isn't it, Sasuke?

[ Shit sucks! What do ]
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] legs in that town)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-25 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nice spin there, Ala.]

So then the future is...?

[ She flips the last card over, and it's the upright Moon. Sasuke is three for three when it comes to "hm" cards, huh. ]

The Moon is my arcana~ It represents fear and uncertainty, things not being what they seem, that sort of thing... [ What tf sort of positive spin can she put on a card like this ]

...The future's not set, though. I think this is the future if you keep hesitating, if you don't make the effort to change— if you give up, you'll always be scared and uncertain. It's not like the future is bleak. But if you want things like victory and success, we gotta go out and get it! Stop worrying about how much we can help, and just help as much as we can! I bet after we do that, the cards will show us a different future.

[ Statistically, the cards will very likely show them a different future next time. ]

[Good job Sasuke!!]

...I'm getting the feeling the cards don't have much hope in me.

[His tone is dry, so he's probably joking at least a little.]
parhellia: (pic#13735352)

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'd better be joking, come on ]

Silly~ It's that defeatist attitude that's got the cards giving up hope! Go show 'em who's boss, Sasuke!
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] next stop.”)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-26 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Sssssigh.]

I'll... try my best.
parhellia: (pic#13735355)

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-26 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, you'd better. Otherwise, this is your future!

[ She waves the Moon card menacingly in Sasuke's face. ]

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-26 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gently pushing it out of his face.]

If you did it again, it would come out differently.

[He doesn't necessarily believe in it, even if the advice to improve is solid.]

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-27 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ala takes the card back and sets it on top of her deck. ]

Of course it will~ The future is mutable, after all, so it'll always be different! I bet this conversation too will make a difference, so let me do another reading on you after we get back from the dungeon, okay?
not_that_sasuke: ([Neutral] I kept saying)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-29 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Just shuffling the deck would make it come out differently. But... we can try again afterwards, if you want.
parhellia: (pic#13735352)

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-29 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What a boring way of thinking~

[ He's so practical!!! Stop that. ]

It's for your sake, so we'll play if you want! I'll come ask you again after, but you don't have to humor me~
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] closely and start)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-30 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Someone's got to be in this group, apparently.]

...We'll see.
