HOLY SHITBALLS ITS DEATH
Yes! Called it! Eris is working for a Bigger Bad!
Also, Dash is the dual blade user for the group huh? Interesting.
As soon as I red that line, I was like, "RUN BITCH, RRRUUUNNN".
Huh, they found the Reaper, and the P3 version to make it worse. There is only 1 logical thing to do. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the Reaper would have made them explode in a single hit, way over their level (unless Flash gets Thunder Reign)
Interesting, it looks like Mephistopheles is Eris boss and she doesn't look so happy about that, maybe we will get some backstabbing between the bad guys?
The party really needs to grind, especially the girls. They are too weak and Flash wont be able to do everything himself.
Death huh...?
Well, so much for grinding... still, we now know that Eris is working for someone else.
Just who though...? That's what I want to know...
5561329 Yep, they massively need to grind. They just picked a REALLY bad day to try...
5561346 I would say throwing the Reaper at them at this state is abusive, evil and sadistic. But since they wont know the pain of losing 30 floors and over an hour of grinding because of a random mudo, then yeah, make them suffer. Will they eventually fight the Sleeping Table boss? That will be fun.
5561364 Flash already dealt with the Table, way back near the beginning. Well, a version of it.
Yeah, I have to say that knives do make for a pretty sweet choice of weapon for Rainbow Dash.
Does Eris have some sort of history with Dash? This quote is making me think that for some reason. If so, maybe I'm correct about who she is... Still keeping that speculation to myself, just because I'm not certain enough to reveal it.
I literally had a goosebump. The Reaper, of the Death Arcana; The Arcana that was never supposed to be...
Though I wonder, what triggered it's precense today?
5561322
I actually suspected what was to come the moment I read
I am quite pleased to see I was correct.
5561329
It could also mean that whoever Eris is, she's being manipulated or controlled in some way. Maybe Mephisto has info on her, or is messing with her mind, a la Nyarlathotep and Joker in Persona 2. If that's the case, we could be coming up on a sweet Heel-Face Turn from Eris.
5561395 Well, there were no Shadows. In P3, a floor with no Shadows means RUN, because that fucker's COMING.
Bitches be runnin'! Death was like "You gon' die todey!" And Cadence was like "Nope! nopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenope!!"
I'm scared. For them. And who the hell is the new MF'er? Mmmm she/he/it reigns over Eris. My money's on Shimmer again. All we gotta do is have Flashie run into her and if her boobs are the same size as Someshit Shimmer's well then this would end too easily and that can't happen now can it Mr. MythrilMoth??
Well this was scary for like most of it. Now if you'll excuse me I must play Persona Arena!!
5561366 Uh yeah, I remember he fought a table, given it was a really nerfed version of that nightmare (no almighty attacks, come on ). I think it will be fun to see how Flash takes on any boss that requires some prior preparations or serious knowledge of the mechanics, given that he cant just "try again".
Also, RD is going to get herself killed, physical attack spam and suicidal overconfidence is a bad combination.
5561412
That's an inkling to it's precense, not exactly the trigger. If you want to keep that mechanic as secret, you can just say it.
5561458 Heh...it's random. There's no rhyme or reason. It's just boom, Reaper.
So, are we gonna get the Death S. Link today?
Huh, so we have an answer. While Eris could be Ophiuchus/The Mastermind(unlikely) or Mephistopheles may be Ophiuchus/the Mastermind, Eris is not Mephistopheles! It's also interesting that his text is the same color as the Death Horoscopes....
Neat! Wasn't expecting that.
I WAS WRONG, I WAS HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY WRONG!! Though, since I'm assuming that its "random" status means it isn't linked to the plot, I wonder what brought it into being.
And just like in the games, I almost shat myself when Death appeared.
Well, no searching for Eris's broken phone today. Oh well, they can try again some other time, I guess. (Not that I expect it to still be there by that point.)
Reaper favorite boss in the game
5561462
I see. Well, I bet that whenever they're ready to not run away, the results are going to be really satisfying (read: epic loot!!!)
5561501
Oooooh, I did not catch that. Nice find!
Soooooo. Unrelated but...
Fluttershy was gone for about that long, having left for holiday earlier than the rest of the dorm...
5561701
I noticed that too. Also, I'd say that Eris's complaint about Rainbow Dash:
fits what Fluttershy has against her.
5561298 That combined with the text has made me have a seizure.. I'M SERIOUS SOMEONE CALL 911!!!!!!
5561329
I'm all for some baddie backstabbing, but Red Text could just as easily have heard about the Mephistopheles incident as be Mephistopheles—especially considering Red Text and Eris' ambiguous relationship with Zodiac.
Now that this has happened.. I might want to go watch the persona games now...
Wow. Can't believe I managed to catch up on all this as quick as I did. Very enjoyable, very much in the vein of P3 & P4.
So, Eris is probably Fluttershy, and Mephistopheles is probably Sunset Shimmer. Huh
5561888
If Mephistopheles is Sunset, then it's really odd that the Horoscopes have been so helpful.
5561991 Actually... Only the birthday horoscopes are in red. All of the other ones have been blue.
5562039
I wasn't referring to the color. We know from previous chapters that Sunset runs the app. So if she is Mephisto, she's doing an odd job of it.
5562081 Maybe Shy is running the App for the time being. Flash should just approach Shimmer and ask her about the Birthday Horoscope. Probably won't lead to anything, but it's worth a shot.
I'm still curious about the MO of the killer. Rather then attacking Applewood residents, I bet circumstances led to the residents being placed there. It seems the residents each have some sort of parental issues, except for Twilight, who has other family issues. Perhaps the killer has no parents, and is trying to punish those that don't appreciate what they have. Also a few of the parents knew each other in High School if that's relevant. It's a lead worth pursuing if nothing else.
5562518
Unfortunately we don't have a ton to work on here. Why is Eris working for Mephistopheles? Who are the both of them? How long has Zodiac existed? Do they control the Constellation Shadows, or are they using their attacks to their own advantage? Why is Discord a janitor? What is the Mistery Meat? Why can Eris seemingly jam other persona users devices? Why does Mr. Turner wear that helmet? Will Tavi and Vinyl go out? Will Pinkie every calm down and stop being such a horn dog? Will CFO Sombra make an appearance in story just to say "Crystals"? HOW MANY QUESTIONS CAN I ASK?!
5562596 So many questions.
Remember when Fluttershy said that what had her upset at the Fall Formal was somebody saying "something not really nice, but not really mean" to her? Well, what if it was Mephistopheles criticizing her for her poor performance against the gang on Pinkie's birthday? Perhaps she started training herself up after that?
Now, about Eris's Persona. Do you think it might have been given to her by Mephistopheles? Do you think it being artificially awakened might have led to Golden Oaks Dorm burning down? (I don't see how that follows, myself.) Do you think that Meph might take Eris's Persona away from her (assuming that he can do that) and discard her as punishment for repeated failures? Perhaps resulting in the awakening of her true Persona down the line?
5562672
If Mephisto gave Eris her power, and can take it away, it would explain why she is working for him/her. There does not seem to be much love lost in that particular partnership given how they spoke to each other.
5562672
Well there there is the case in Innocent Sin where Joker/Jun was not using his true persona when fought (Technically its not even a real persona at all). He's also not the true villain of the game was being manipulated by the true big bad. Assuming I'm recalling things correctly; it's been a while since I played that game.
5562713
There is a lot of precedence for it in other games too. Izanami gave Yu, Adachi, and Namatame their powers in Persona 4. In Persona 3 Minato has his partly because the Death Arcana is sealed inside him from the event that created the Dark Hour. Then, if you get into Arena and Ultimax Sho is an artificial persona user created by having an Plume of Dusk inside his body. It's also hinted that he may have the potential to be a Wild Card since he is in the Velvet Room at one point.
When you get down to it, pretty much all of Persona is in some way part of freaking game between Nyarlathotep and Philemon. While it's not as overt in 3 and 4, the butterflies are still there as a motif.
5562740
True; I specifically mentioned Jun because his 'persona' at that point was actually Nyarlathotep pretending to be a Persona.
Okay, this is really looking unfavorable for Flutters. (For a second I thought it might've been Trixie, but that seems unlikely given how close she is to an 'Unbreakable Bond' and the fact that Eris doesn't quite fit Trixie's 'showmanship.') Although what really puzzles me is the why and for how long. I mean I know that Flutters is ticked at Rainbow right now, but I doubt she was doing this from day one. In order for Flutters to be doing this I think she really needs a motive.
5562929 Whoever Eris happens to be, I assure you she has a motive. You'll just have to be patient. After all, we've got a long way to go yet...
Ah, we finally have The Reaper. I was wondering when that bony bastard was gonna show up. And, in true Persona fashion, you don't get any normal Shadows when TR shows up.
And Dash really seems to be shaping up to be a more useful version of Yosuke. The knives thing has convinced me of that.
5563127 I may have to take it, but I don't have to like it. (Too much, anyway. )
5561298 Yup. That's who it is. It's always Death in the video games.
Ah ha. Well, this is certainly interesting. Some tension between Eris and Mephistopheles, assuming that that's the red text.
Also, the Reaper? Well, I suppose if there aren't any treasure chests to open, he's just going to wander around. Still, he can only be in one place at a time... right?
Dash's weapons are a nice choice. Very appropriate for her.
And yeah, when you're fighting for your life and others, you can't exactly be expected to stick to Marquess of Queensbury rules.
*gasp*
I sense Death!
5563473 You mean that guy? (walks over to railing)
HEY! WHAT THE HELL'S THE DEAL WITH THAT NINTENDOVERSE, HUH? DO YOU JUST GIVE BOWSER AN INFINITE "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" CARD OR WHAT?
Yep, everyone who has played P3 before and tried grinding on any day before the final encounter will have found Death at least once. Had to finish two whole games before I could even survive him one on one.
P4 Death though... I arguably find him much easier to handle even though his encounter rate is different. His drops are horrendous though.
....... *laughs nervously* Nope.to the nopeth degree.
This makes me feel legit angry.
Someone Eris answers to. Fascinating.
Twilight sure does mistrust Flash's hormones a lot. After what happened with Cadence, it was pretty understandable for a while. But now I'm thinking maybe it's time for her to lighten up a bit. Dude was in a fight for his life.
6224503 Actually my second thought was of a Christmas carol, my first thought was Oh shi-taki mushrooms!
