Persona Qsday #11 (Contains Persona Q Spoilers) · 6:02am Dec 15th, 2015
We're back with week eleven of my Persona Q coverage!
Remember, only plot spoilers from P3/P4 will be tagged! Character names from both games and plot details specific to Persona Q will NOT be tagged. Proceed at your own risk.
When last we left off, the gang was exploring the first level of the creepy Evil Spirits Club.
Let's plunge back in!
EVIL SPIRIT CLUB
1st Story
Completed my exploration of the first floor of this labyrinth. There's not much to say about this one--aside from the locked doors, creepy atmosphere, and pursuit-type giant baby FOE, this floor is pretty basic.
I'd also like to note that at this point, I've pretty much locked in a permanent party of Yu, Chie, Mitsuru, Naoto, and Yukiko. I haven't switched my party around since around the third floor of the previous labyrinth.
EVIL SPIRIT CLUB
2nd Story
The second floor of Evil Spirits Club has annoying puzzles related to lights (or lack thereof) and FOEs that pop up out of nowhere in the dark. There's not much else to say about it.
EVIL SPIRIT CLUB
3rd Story
The atmosphere of the third floor of ESC changes from an abandoned school to an abandoned hospital. Just inside the entrance to this floor, Chie starts massively freaking out. Yukiko tries to console her...
...by telling her a freaky ghost story about their school. It just makes things worse. And not only that, but it freaks Rei out to the point where she stands there muttering "I hear nothing, I hear nothing, I hear nothing" over and over again.
Yukiko needs help.
Further into the hospital floor, Yukiko decides to tell another scary story about haunted hospitals, freaking Chie out even worse. Yukiko...doesn't seem to understand that there's a time and place for things like that.
Junpei is almost as bad. Yukari threatens to shoot him. Also, she punches him.
Funny how nobody slapped Yukiko for the exact same thing...
There's a hilarious scene (which kicks off a request) where Minato mentions needing to uncover his right eye. Yosuke and Junpei lampshade the anime/manga trope of special eyes (like the Sharingan), to which Minato replies that he can just see better if his hair isn't over his eye.
The whole scene lampshades things like the Sharingan from Naruto, and is made even funnier by the fact that in the English language version, Minato has the same voice actor as Sasuke.
There's a scene about halfway through this floor that is legitimately fucking CREEPY. It's part the camera framing, part the shading, part the creepy giggling, and a large part A FREAKING CREEPY GHOST-DOLL FOE COMING RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE. Holy shit, that was messed up. 
In any case, the appearance of the FREAKING CREEPY FOE results in the entire party crowding into a toilet to hide.
Random moment of funny: One of Elizabeth's requests is to find a laxative in the bottom half of Evil Spirits Club. In the nurse's office medicine supplies, she found a muscle relaxer, and has mistakenly decided that a laxative is something that "laxes" muscles, since...well, it's Insane Troll Logic only Elizabeth can come up with. In any case, she should have just asked Yu (or Minato) what a laxative is...or they could have told her it has nothing to do with muscles...so to speak...
Most of the third floor's puzzles involve light switches, pop-up laughing doll FOEs, and dark keys that can't be picked up if the lights are on.
There's an area covering 9% of this floor that can't be accessed until you advance to...
EVIL SPIRIT CLUB
4th Story
...and that's where we'll leave things for now.
BIZARRE BATTLE QUOTE TIME!
(When encountering a Bribed Fuzz)
Yukiko: "How can he eat with a hole through his stomach?"(When encountering a Rainy Pot)
Teddie: "Oooh! Is she what they mean by a Cool Beauty?"(When encountering a Twins-type Shadow)
Rei: "Oooh, now I feel like some chicken skewers..."(When encountering a Relic-type Shadow)
Chie: "Are you sure I can kick it? It looks like an art piece!"
NEXT TIME: We're already at the bottom of the third labyrinth?
That logic makes sense to me. How can you relax if you haven't already laxed?
