But yes, i do look forward to interacting with your new characters as well, Pikeru.

It should be fun. Going to guess the hot spring is over and it is safe for Bou to return to pass out in her bed?

Hopefully in her own home. XD Living in an Inn is EXPENSIVE.

"does one's arcana effect anything storywise?" said the person fading away on the waiting couch. xp  

[Zorc James]

I have like, only two characters that live at the inn. Yatsuda and Usugu. Yatsuda cause he has money and Usugu cause she had gotten one with the help of the lovely Yukiko Amagi. She still works her butt off to make up for the kindness.

I've decided that she should live in her own house. That will reduce the risk of being targeted by evil birds. Also in the mean time she is going to be playing Fate Stay Night in her house or sleeping.

I think there's, like, one weapon that deals slightly more damage to people if they have a given arcana. XD No, it doesn't have a major effect in our Guild, though it does matter more in the games.

Watching Carnival Phantasm right now. How is everyone doing?

I like the arcana system but it seems like its really hard to implement which might be why persona 4 has like a 4 hour tutorial lol.

stare but at least its not like nocturne where they hide the next unskippable part of progressing in the game inside the same room where you save your game even if you don't have a memory card lol.

But anyways I think I had better do the arcana thing with Ishi.. I get the feeling her social links will be determining the course of a lot of what she does while becoming closer to a well rounded agent.

Also can you get arcana from highly one sided or unhealthy relationships? For example, Ishi kidnaps someone and just completely falls in love with them (which is probably a very bad sign for the one captured ironically). Can she get a social link from:

1. who she believes this person to be and how she in all her madness perceives that they perceive her

2. can she receive it from them even though they are trying to escape from her and want nothing to do with her in their current state of mind

I'm great, waiting a lot but its not as though its actually abnormally slow lol. Gonna be a while before I can do anything though since my character is basically like a newgame+ nearly blank slate. Seems it wasn't necessary but I think she may also have some strengths I can strategize around.

... looks like my summons are also needlessly low level lol. Luckily Ishi is the type that thinks of maintaining one's gear as an acceptable funtime/party activity, even for kids.  

[pikeru3617]

No, it's kind of like a mutual bond between the two. Like a respect and wanting to get to know one another better.  

[Zorc James]

I am also interested in the other character you are working on. o mo Good luck on the progress  

[Makako-ma]

Looks like Ishi won't be on the fast route to gathering arcana either lol. At least not outside of her element (most normal places lol)  

[Makako-ma]

One day I'm just going to gorge on type-moon products. They make the sort of things that make me want to just spend days at a time instead of just watching it little by little. I'm like that with the shin megami series as well

The other one is a gentleman, dispite his rather off putting true form. He's a demon. Black dog actually, based on Black Shuck that was said to tore into a church and killed two to three people a father and his son. Leaving behind burn marks on the door that are still there to this day. Well his personality will differ. In some stories he is a protector. Then there are others that he brings warning to people who loved ones are said to die. His main element is going to be darkness and fire. Naturally light won't work well with him. Though he has a prankster side and likes to scare people before letting them go on with their lives.
