Shattered Justice (A Persona Quest)

Beyond the entryway of the Labyrinth, things look about the same as they did at the very beginning, with the addition of some archways made out of colorful lights. You're traveling in a larger group than you do in Tartarus, so you can't necessarily hear when Shadows approach, but whatever Shadows do appear are far outnumbered.

Does this mean you're going to be kept from doing science? Of course not.

As soon as you see the first blob, your Evoker is in your hand. "Kala-Nemi! Psi!" As these are very weak blobs, the same kind that you used to be able to defeat by kicking them, it's very hard to gain conclusive evidence of if they are weak to a given spell or not.

It does obliterate them, though, so you suppose that it works out well enough.

Your new Persona gives people pause, just a little. "I'd thought something seemed a bit different," Mitsuru-san says, but she doesn't go beyond that, and neither does anyone else. They don't ask you anything about it, either, though Aigis-san's eyes refuse to leave you.

...Honestly, that was a lot easier than you'd thought it would be. It just... feels like there should be more questioning gazes, but you guess you're just a bit too busy for that.
Maybe next time. Since, you know, you'll have to explain it at least one more time. Just about everyone's going to forget this ever happened.
Makoto-san summons Orpheus and sets a floating mouth on fire. You hadn't expected disembodied mouths when you climbed on the catbus earlier today, but yeah, apparently that's a thing that's happening.

You wonder why you never see Shadows like this around Iwatodai.
They're apparently native to the countryside, I couldn't tell you anything more than that.
Some blank white cards float to the ground in front of Makoto-san. "Are these...?" He reaches forward and picks them up. "...There's nothing on them." He sounds sort of disappointed, but still slips the cards into his pocket.

You continue walking, but everything's... well, despite how many people there are, right now it's quieter than Tartarus. Sure, you haven't gotten very far, but... it's uncomfortable. And not just because Aigis-san is still staring at you.


[ ] Seriously, why is Aigis-san staring at you!?

[ ] You may as well ask Makoto-san about the cards...

[ ] You can live with the silence, for now.
