So we're going to meet Sweetie Belle tomorrow with the possibility of the Rarity link starting?! I think this says it all:
I should have seen this coming... you sure keep us on our toes.
With this chapter alone, I have my suspicions. But I gu we'll see in due time.
Nice bit of bonding.
Looking at that rank nine twilight sparkle is giving me terrible memories to SuperJeenius' lets play of P4.... So many rank 9's and so many low ranks....
Nice bonding with Rainbow, although Gilda AND Lightning Dust at the same time is a bit of a bad omen. Army Brats? Headcanon accepted.
Snow? Right, that's a thing... It sure sucks to live near the Equator.
And tomorrow we have: A date, Zodiac excursion, the possible introduction of Sweetie Belle and the possible start of The Empress S.Link. Could I ask for more?
EDIT: I was just skimming through LTE and noticed that Silver Spoon has a "Game Portrait". Not really a giveaway, but certainly curious little detail
5579541 Yeah, that's...pretty common in Persona.

During my last playthrough of P4, I managed to at least max out the S. Links with the party members. That being said, I can't wait to see what'll happen when they go back into Zodiac. I need to see how Eris acts, and hopefully they'll run into her.
A+ delinquency, girls. Clearly make good life decisions there.
As for people who actually matter, glad to see Dash on the mend in many ways and more cuteness planned with Twilight.
MythrilMoth, you were wrong about this comment. I don't hate you at all for this chapter. As for the feeling silly part, I don't quite feel silly enough to warrant wearing a dunce cap despite how incorrect my theory was...
I'm assuming both LD and Gilda can be crossed off (or rather shouldn't have been added in the first place) the potential suspect list since neither of them go to Canterlot.
5579840 Yep, they're both Gone FOHEEEVAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!
I find it interesting that so many people write Lightning Dust as such a negative character in fan fics. In the show we really only see that she's reckless and ambitious. I mean, sure that's good qualities to give to a Starscream, but I see her as more of a what could have been version of Rainbow.
5580217 I think it's because her response to almost killing five national heroes was basically "so what?".
So, I have a theory as to the identity of Mephistopheles. I apologize if you've heard this before, I normally read chapters and their comments the days they're published and don't go back to check on any additional comments that may have been added. So, anyway, here we go.
Juan the Janitor. Here's why:
1) He has high level Canterbook access. In my opinion, anyone with this kind of power outside of Celestia and Luna is high up the suspect list.
2) He knows things. During their conversation November 23rd, he makes a point of talking about fools and comments on how it seems like Flash is being pulled in seventeen directions at once. If I'm not mistaken, that's how many Personas Flash had at the time. Not even the girls seem to know exactly how many Personas he has, but Juan does.
3) He is the Devil Arcana. This itself isn't damning. Depending on different circumstances, every one of the arcana can mean different things to different people. The fact that the antagonist chose the name Mephistopheles, a demon, as his alias however, that raises suspicions. Devil, demon, you get it.
4) He's Discord. I don't recall if Moth has said so specifically at any point, but it is fairly obvious. Discord, villain extraordinaire. No idea what his endgame might be though. Brainwashed teenage army? Seems in keeping with the EG universe.
While all this evidence is circumstantial at best, it does paint a pretty picture. I've also never really played a Persona game, I'm reading this because Moth is a great author and I enjoy reading his stories (shameless flattery,) so I don't know if a social link can be the antagonist, but it all seems a bit too convenient.
But what the hell do I know? It could be Sunset Shimmer.
Oh, everything's just tryin' to rile me up today!
5580217
5580307 This. Everything we know about Lightning Dust tells us she's a glory-seeking, self-centered jerk. That's why she gets written the way she does.
5580363
......... Excuse my disagreement but;
1. Juan does seem to know things, but that's because he has all the time in the world to stalk the shit out of Flash.
2. I can't imagine discord/juan talking smack.
3.Demons feed off of bad emotions; devils ???
4.Of course ANYONE can get high level access.
5. Reverting back to 1.
6.He's discord, Tamed by the all shyness Fluttershy
But now I was thinking..... Is Eris Juan's daughter???
Oh, and what happened to (Suri I think that's her name?) former captain of the tennis club?
......................................................................................... Suri ----->Seri? ----->Eris?
5581583 That's a bit of a reach there.
.......... I'm not sure I comprehend.......
Oh again sorry if I made it seem like I was dissing you off Wyld Card.
5581679 What do you mean by reach? Cookie jar reaching or death reaching?
Cookies jars are always out of reach, death will reach you at some point.
5581717 Reaching as in grasping at straws.
................................................................................
Please elaborate. I'm at my derp form right now.
10min later; Noooooo!!!!!!!!! Will I ever get my answer? What is MythirlMoth true motives? Find out next time on the next "Comments Section Interview"!!! Background music go!!!!!!!!
5581755
Suri's name being four letters and having three letters in common with Eris doesn't automatically make her a viable candidate to be Eris. Using that as your entire logic for guessing she's Eris is silly.
And to whoever's downvoting Tanaka's comments: Be nice. Everyone's entitled to a derp now and then.
Ok thanks for clearing that up. And thanks for being.......(drat, what's that word?) .... Scratch that. Thanks for sticking up for me. I mean it. You have my gratitude. Lately I've been feeling like this week and last week I've been having derp moments. Now, time to tear down the drawing board and start over.
My own thoughts on Eris's true identity rest on what you might call out-of-universe considerations.
Simply put, I'd regard Eris being someone Flash doesn't know, or does know, but is neutral or hostile towards, as being a fairly worthless reveal. (And, no offense, but I will frankly think less of this story if that's the case.) Eris being someone he knows (or so he thinks), and regards as friendly, on the other hand... now, there is some potential for drama.
And please note that I did not name names. We are only a little over a quarter of the way through; there is still plenty of time for new characters to be introduced and assume major importance.
5580307
To be fair, most people in the series, good or bad, seem to treat the main characters as anything resembling national heroes.
But in truth, even that doesn't really match up with her depiction here. Because Lightning Dust is never actually malicious in Wonderbolts Academy; I can't remember any point she was deliberately out to cause harm to anyone. Sure, she might not have cared if she inadvertently harmed someone, but she never deliberately did. That's a contrast with Gilda, who was seen in the series to deliberately harm people. So Lightning Dust being deliberately malicious, as she is in this story, doesn't seem to fit her depiction in the series.

Well, it's been over nine hours since I posted my theory and the author has neither confirmed nor denied it. Until such a time as he has or someone else can convince me otherwise, I'll continue to defend it.
1) I doubt a simple janitor could stalk someone through Zodiac.
2) In Return of Harmony, pretty much all Discord does is talk smack; it's how he got the Mane 6 to turn on each other.
3) There are thousands of interpretations of both devils and demons, narrowing it down to one is a bit counterintuitive. My only point is that they are very similar.
4) If I'm remembering correctly, the only people we know of with Canterbook admin access are Celestia and Luna, Sunset and her father(?), and Juan.
5) Not entirely sure what you mean by this point...
6) This is a different universe than the show. Evidenced by the fact I don't find Moth's interpretation of Flash unbearable. It's entirely possible that in this continuity, Discord has influenced Fluttershy's personality as opposed to the other way around. That actually would support the theory that Flutters is Eris. That may be a few too many ifs though...
EDIT: I would like to express that I do not expect Moth to confirm or deny my theory. In fact, quietly grinning in the corner like a maniac is my preferred response from him regarding any suggestions about secret identities. Luckily for me, that seems right in his wheelhouse. I do however welcome people to politely debate my ideas. Being wrong is how we grow as people and I'm not opposed to it.
5582303 Nor is Pinkie Pie an oversexed flirt in canon. In an AU story, you have to allow for deviations from established characterization.
5584008 Because that was kind of the joke...
This theory with Fluttershy being Eris seems to have one issue for me.
Wouldn't she call Rainbow out in the Zodiac?
Probably not cause she'd be trying to keep her identity a secret. Do I think its a far fetched theory? No, only because of how Fluttershy is acting, minus the accidental Rainbow sex assault, she's just been very cold. The only way we're gonna find out is on her birthday, huh? Then again she could fake it, I could see her doing that if she's Eris. But then she knows who this other chick is.... What's her name again? The pondering intensifies!
5582410 ................................... (sigh) gonna take forever to think of arguments for that. Na, I'll try to consider your point of view. Oh, and the girls were told he had 17 personas on 11/22 just before Juan talked to him. As far as we know Juan could be it. But it could also be anyone since anybody can get a high tier access in canterbook. Like how Juan did........ How would Jimmy Kudo do this? How would Shawn Spencer do this? How would Monk do this?
5584691
I'll say this one time, and one time only. No such person as Jimmy Kudo exists.
Now, Shinichi Kudou would already have the whole fucking thing figured out about 20 chapters back.
Shinjitsu wa itsumo hitotsu!
5584759
I kind of want to see that play out in the Bad End side stories. It would be kind of awesome.
I mean, given all the things going on, surely Celestia or Luna would think to call in a private investigator.
5584691
Every student has access to Canterbook, yes, but there are not many people who have high level admin access. Juan does. They don't just pass it out like mints.
5584962
From what I understand, most of the staff has T1 or T2 access. It's said early on that they can see when you are accessing Canterbook so you can't goof off in class. Juan has T3 access, Sunset has T1, at the least her father probably has T4, and I would assume that Celestia and Luna do as well.
Also, as for Juan being the Devil S.Link, Devil usually just mean that they are a person who is using the protagonist for their own ends, not that they are really a bad person.
5584759 Jimmy Kudo (I'm not sure if I got the last name right)( I think that's the English name) is from an anime called case closed.
As for the rest, not sure if you know,
Shawn Spencer; """"Psychic"""" detective working for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Not really, but he notices things almost everybody misses.
Monk; Detective who has ALOT of Phobias. But is a bad ass at finding evidence and stuff.
If you want to watch any of these start with Physc , name of the show I think. Read case closed. Then watch monk. Or the other way around.
If you have watched it then awesome.
Wait a sec..
.....
I love it.
There are probably lots of great comments, but I'm starting to skim through them lightning quick because I wanna read the next chapter.
Sometimes I get so invested in the characters and drama and such that I briefly forget this is related to Persona at all. It truly feels like its own universe despite being a combination of two pre-existing things. I don't think I can come up with a better compliment than that.
Hobestly i woulf also stand up and face the asshole who kicked a dog for no reason, eitger be verbally or as last resource violence. Thinking that they are superior than animals would be like saying that a rich person can beat you up because he is above you.
