That shouldn't be possible. IIRC the Full Moon Shadows only started showing up when they did, because the MC showed up and he had their missing brethren sealed inside him.
Didn't SEES know about them before? Because I don't remember the game taking place over the span of a year.
 
Ikutsuki probably knows about them, but SEES doesn't. IIRC, they're first hint they get that the Full Moon Shadows even existed was when Magician attacked Akihiko when he was on patrol.
I see. So what do they do? Just fight Shadows all the time?

Also, guess who's going into Tatarus in the next year!
 
So they go after Full Moon Shadows a year before the game's start hits?
I don't think so? I'd like to say again that I've never played P3, but the only mention of the full moon in quest has been by Ken, and the wiki says the 12 Full Moon Shadows are unique.

My best guess is the June deadline is the 24th, Ken's 10th birthday, the August deadline is the 11th, Shinji's 17th birthday, and the October deadline is the 4th, the 1st anniversary of the death of Ken's Mother.

Didn't SEES know about them before? Because I don't remember the game taking place over the span of a year.
The June, July, August, and October Operations had 2 Shadows each, so it only took 8 months to kill the 12 Shadows.

Pretty much. They just roam the city and stop shadows from attacking the helpless coffin people.

I think when Shinjiro used to be an active member they made trips into Tartarus and tried to thin the number of shadows there, but after he left they decided it was too dangerous for just Akihiko and Mitsuru to do that by themselves.
 
Thwarted By Addictive Programming
...Well, you've come this far. No reason to back out now. Aside from maybe not wanting to be caught, but you're sure it'll be fine. And you'd really rather avoid everyone else's stares at you being there. Just because you don't spend much time around them doesn't make you some kind of mythical creature!

You make sure to duck behind the couch, first. At that point, there's an explosion on the screen, which quickly captures the other kids' attention. If you were a bit more prideful, you'd say you timed that perfectly, but it's just a lucky coincidence.

You don't have much time to listen in on whatever that phone call is, of course. Eventually, someone's gaze is going to drift from the television set, and if you're still there, that leads to questions. Questions that you're never entirely sure how to answer, because it's never really come up before.

Just a few moments. Hopefully, that's all you need. At least, if you stay behind the corner, you shouldn't be spotted.

What you want to hear could also still be drowned out by the giant monsters and explosions, but that's just a hazard of the phone being near to the television set. It was always a possibility.

You do manage to hear something, thankfully... unfortunately, you don't know whether it's entirely relevant or not. "...Three weeks, then? ...Very well." And then there's another explosion on the screen and... okay, that actually looks pretty cool.

By the time you've realized you ventured back over to the couch, the episode is over, and you're sort of wishing it had gone on for longer. Despite the fact that it ruined your chance to figure out what was going on. That could be a problem.

On the bright side, the other kids aren't looking at you like you're some kind of alien anymore, so you guess something good has come out of today.


Unfortunately, that appears to have been the only good thing that came out of that day. Your distraction has cost you- there are no more mysterious phone calls made near to you, and with the way the dorm mother looks at you, you wonder if any of the other kids noticed your attempted eavesdropping, and told her about it. It really wouldn't surprise you, if that turned out to be the case.

But nothing's happening, and spring break starts this week, and you really don't know where to begin, because being left alone in an empty dorm is not your idea of a good time. Well, almost alone, there's a few kids whose parents don't really want them, but it all amounts to the same thing if they don't even talk to you.

Not that you've made much of an effort when it comes to them, but details! You've got friends, you don't need to worry about the people that you live with... right?

Well, it's not like it matters. They'll probably all be watching television or playing nearby or something, and you can deal with your own things, which normal people can never even begin to understand.

...Honestly, you still don't know where it all went wrong.

Because if we get more courage for being with a friend, something bad is going on, and we should not ignore it.

Would of liked snagging that Diligence bonus, especially since Ken's low rank probably held him back from info gathering. Still, Empathy 4 is my priority right now, and we've never had an option giving two bonuses before.

Personally, I feel close to Empathy 4. So I don't feel the need for Dia cat training. Expression however? Well, someone has to make sure SEES can fucking communicate with eachother and it's definitely not Mitsuru or Ikutsuki.

Edit: Unrelatedly, Ken's birthday is June 24th.

Edit 2: Also, Shinjiro's Birthday is August 11th. I'm getting the feeling I'm understanding what the deadlines are.

Mean as it is, Practice Channelling: Cruel Attack should end up the first action. Followed by Spend Time with Maiko, and Dia Practice with Morgana. Between being our most powerful tool, the Empathy boost, and being our first Double Social Boost option... I can't see Cruel Attack practice losing.

I get the feeling if Cruel Attack training doesn't win, it's because of this kind of subvote about doing something that Ken neither knows exists, nor ever use such a power on a human being.
Ken didn't know Cruel Attack, Zio, or Dia existed when he used them the first time, and he still used them, so he not knowing doesn't mean he can't. Also, I added it because my vote had practicing Dia with Morgana, and I didn't want to risk the 1 in a million chance that he'd use it on Morgana. Like I said, it's unlikely, but doing it would be catastrophic, and why not nip the possibility in the bud when you have the chance?

Because, as I stated previously, Ken is not someone that'd use his Persona abilities on something that isn't inanimate or a Shadow. And if ya don't want it to combine with your Dia training with Morgana vote, you can vote to train Cruel Attack alone.
