5529073 Well, notice how there's a chapter for (almost) every day that passes "in-game"? And that the story will cover an entire year? Think about it.
BWAHAHAHAHAHHA! THAT ENDING!
I find it interesting how Fluttershy was conspicuously absent from the list of people wishing Flash a happy Thanksgiving... I'm reminded of how she didn't friend Flash on Canterbook or vote for Twilight for Fall Formal Princess until she was pressured. And yeah, the ending was funny. Oh, and I'd like to congratulate Flash on avoiding the wrath of Murphy. So far, anyway.
I can't help but notice that Flash didn't get a text from Fluttershy...
I just knew this chapter would make me hungry. I was right. *Starts drooling at the mere thought of all that delicious food*
Flash, you're doing it wrong. You aren't supposed to leave anywhere to place the rolls on the plate, you heap those on top of everything else.
5529226 Thus implying a broken phone, you think?
Kill me now! Please!
Anyway, I really enjoyed this chapter, so many hilarious moments here and there, and hearthwarming moments too.
Also, Fluttershy not sending a message definetely doesn't have any implications for the story, she's just being antisocial (not sarcasm). But I forgot, did she mention what she was doing for thanksgiving?
5529226
Yes. I wonder...could she have,...broken her phone perhaps?
I cannot decide in my head if that is a warning that eventually he must go home, or a comment that one of his S.Links might die.
A part of me wants it to be the latter.
That part of me is a terrible person, and I accept that.

Not necessarily text messages. They were probably sent from Canterbook, given they seem to be placed all in the same section and there is a System Message grouped with the rest. Canterbook can also be accessed from a laptop, which it was stated Fluttershy had at her parents' to work on the schoolwork she missed. Here's an excerpt from Rainbow Dash's birthday:
She had every capability to send a message, so I'm assuming she didn't on account of her shy nature...
5529279
As far as I remember, all she said is that she was going home for Thanksgiving, but she didn't elaborate further. Ah, here's the chapter that stated that!
Something tells me that Flash scored major points with that.
5529477
Too shy to say Happy Thanksgiving after living with him for several months, but was able to wish him a happy birthday after only knowing him a few days? Perhaps.
And yes, these are obviously sent via Canterbook. I tend to use "text" as a short hand for any non-email text communication, such as Skype messaging, or Facebook messenger.
Luckily, my mom made tortellini while I was reading this, so, unfortunately, your imagery has no effect on me!
5529226 No he didn't...
Damn it Fluttershy, you're making it hard not to suspect you.
In other news, I really hope that horoscope was just a warning to cherish the time he has with Twilight now before August, and not a warning that someone is going to die... though this IS a Persona game, so that could and probably WILL happen at some point.
I just hope it's no one major...
Nice chapter as always!
Somehow I think Flash could convince his parents to let him stay at CH for his Senior year. It sounds like his parents can afford to keep him there. Transitioning from one school to another can hurt a student academically and socially, plus I doubt they would want to separate him from his girlfriend. If he simply asked, they would at least consider it. Worst case would be that they say no and it leads into an argument about their parenting methods.
As for Fluttershy, I'm going to wait until her Social Link starts before I judge. She's either a HUGE red herring, or at least involved with Zodiac in some way.
Flash, Cadance and Twi should do a bit of grinding, just to see if Zodiac extends beyond Canterlot if nothing else.
5529519
You have a very good point about the birthday message. I wasn't thinking about that.
I can understand using "text" as a catch-all for messaging, but I was just attempting to make a counterpoint that Fluttershy still had the oppurtunity to send that message, broken phone or not.
5529622
I wasn't one of the ones who downvoted your previous comment, but what made you think that Fluttershy had anything to do with Pisces? That's possibly at least part of the reason for the downvotes...
5529845 I was asking DiscordDraconequus if that's what he meant by his statement. If you look at my first post, directly before his, you'll see that I compared it to the way she didn't friend Flash on Canterbook or vote for Twilight for Fall Formal Princess until she was put on the spot by the others- which implied that she did not want to do so. Now, why may that be, I ask? And "she's just shy" does not compute as an answer. (That's not aimed at you specifically.)
5529089 Yeah. To think we're only a little over a quarter of the way through...
5529886
Well, like LoungeAbout pointed out, she did send him a "Happy Birthday" message, possibly without being pressured by the others.
As for my answer to the question: She doesn't exactly seem very proactive when it comes to communication, so until we have more concrete evidence, I'm still going to assume it's her shy nature.
Edit: I just saw your edit. ...I'm going to think about this for a while now.
5529886
Actually.... Fluttershy did friend Flash way back in chapter 3.
To be honest, we don't really have enough information to properly judge Fluttershy or any of the other potential suspects. What we have now is suspicious behavior that can be interpreted in any number of ways. We barely know anything about their back story and don't know much about Eris' motivations other than 'she wants them dead'.
There is a little detail that, while it does not guarantee Fluttershy's innocence, makes it highly unlikely for her to be the culprit. Just surprised that more people haven't noticed it yet.
5529975
I said she didn't until the others put her on the spot. Like so:
5529985
Oops, didn't notice that; my bad
Still think we don't have enough information to suspect anyone yet though.
Also the horoscope could also be suggesting that something is going to happen to Flash's parents.
Gotta love one-liners!
Eris and/or Ophiuchus seem to be threatening him again...
*Weeps tears of joy*
And, as others have pointed out, Fluttershy really does seem to avoid Canterbook, doesn't she?
5529784
Hmmm, well, if it was based on the people present, It would be either Twilight, Cadence, or Shining.
I'm just glad we both managed to review our case files during the break, so we're good to go when everything hits the fan again.
5529815
Phrasing!
5529886
Now, I'm not saying that Fluttershy is Eris... but she has been acting really strange every since the morning after Eris first appeared.
5530006
True, though I think it more likely that if anyone dies in this story it will be an S.Link. And for the heartstrings aspect, Twilight makes the most sense. ESPECIALLY since Flash has been getting steadily more and more aggressive as the story has progressed, and I could see him having a Roaring Rampage Of Revenge moment, likely with a Mind Break level string of Persona summons.
5530339 Always good to be a step ahead. We have a good three days left of the break, so we should rest up before things heat up again.
Oh, and put a surveillance on all suspects IMMEDIATELY when break ends. This bitch needs to go down.
I feel so much like Dojima-san right now!
5530339
Yep. Any one of, or even a few of the odd coincidences that's happened could be dismissed as just that, coincidence; but all of them? That strains credulity.
Just to clear the air, people, I'm not saying flatly that Eris is Fluttershy; just that if I were in Flash's shoes, I would be taking a hard look at her and figuring out how to get some real evidence to either prove or disprove the "Fluttershy is Eris" theory. (Probably easier said than done, I'll readily admit. It's a damn shame Flash can't get Rainbow Dash to call Fluttershy's parents on some pretext and say something like "too bad you called Fluttershy to be with you early; she missed my birthday party" and then see how they respond to that. If it turns out that going early was her idea and she lied about it... There simply is no innocent explanation for that. If they affirm her story, it doesn't rule her out, but it does end that line of investigation. Oh yeah, also try to ask if she has any injuries.) Basically, I'm waiting for the Zodiac Investigation Team to live up to the "Investigation" part of their name.
Also, the next time Eris banters with the gang when they're training in Zodiac, I'm going to be paying close attention to what she says to and about Rainbow Dash; see if it meshes with what a vengeful Fluttershy might say. (I'll admit that even if it does, it probably won't tell us much.)
Something else I noticed was that Eris called Twilight a whore, Cadance a bitch and Pinkie a bimbo, but merely said that Rainbow Dash "wasn't worth it". I wonder if this has some significance. One final note; up until now, Eris was apparently willing to let Flash just walk away. (Fitting, since her motive seems to be a personal grudge. After all, Flash just got there.) He was just an obstacle to her. Now? After that fight, I'm willing to bet that it's personal, and he's just as much a target as the girls.
5530551
Admittedly, Fluttershy is the primary suspect right now for reasons stated by yourself and several others. I just think we don't have enough information to tell for sure and likely won't for a while. Knowing more about her past will help in this regard.
5530339
True; I was basing that more on the fact that Flash seems to be taking his parents for granted to some degree. What little has been seen so far just gives me the impression that neither he nor his parents have made much effort to spend more time together.
5530656
Yeah, but part of the fun of a mystery is solving it based on small details before the big clues are unveiled!
I guess it could be his parents, but I dunno. It seems to me that what he stands to lose is what he has gained so far this year at Canterlot.
5529089 Isn't there a 200-chapter limit on this site? At least someone mentioned it in the comments for The Wheel and The Butterfly.
5530690
If something bad were to happen, it's more likely to happen to someone who he has developed a proper relationship with (an S-Link basically). Though I'd start worrying about his parents if they suddenly receive some character development in the next few chapters.
5529815
Agreed. Flash does seem to have spent more time developing his Social Links than his 'level'. He can certainly benefit from some level grinding to make better use of his Personas.
5530709 I was the one who mentioned it...and it turns out, there isn't.
5529279
What, you don't like Saddlebags?
5530751 Oh... excuse me, I'll have to go and beat myself with a toothbrush.
5530910 I think that was a reaction to all the cholestrol in that thing.
5530910 5531427
No and no, I was overreacting on the fact that it sounded utterly delicious, and since the dinner itself was bound to sound even better, I was going to suffer from not being able to eat some of it.
5531553 That works too.
Well, this was cute, especially the bit with Flash noticing the slight decrease in Twilight's rate of consumption. I'm used to Thanksgivings with more than a dozen assorted relatives coming to the house, so something this cozy was a bit of a novelty for me.
Looking forward to more, especially further interaction between Flash and an actual family.
At the end I started singing the Love Boat theme. I have no idea why I just started singing.
Anyway, this was a cute Thanksgiving Chapter. DON'T THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE SENTRY! YOU'LL GET A MIGRANE!
I'm faving the ever loving shit out of this.
5529243
I know right? Twi's folks sure knows how to put on a spread.
AH! Candance is feeling left out once Shining had went up a level, so quickly goes on the offensive and gets even! And now if only they could stop making love to one another to focus on the race they might actually have a lead!
Dammit, now I'm hungry...
Freaking curveballs...
FunFact: Cadance's S.Link is the 6th link to reach the 6th rank.
5530480 and yet you approach the situation as our favorite pervy sage would.
Ah yes, let us play scrabble against the walking thesaurus. We obviously have a chance
