I imagine her shadow would also reject her more than she would reject her shadow

That's... not how Shadows work. ^^ This is a good time to pay more attention to the games - Shadows are someone's real feelings, and their main desire is to be accepted by the human that created them.

Also, Summoners just flat-out don't have Shadows. Those are specific to Persona-users (mostly because of how their respective powers work).

then again I don't think any smt game has ever shown what happens overtime lol.

On the otherhand I suspect a person must be in a position to encounter their shadow directly for it to manifest as a direct relation to them otherwise it can only exist as a thought or something like a mantra. Mantra in the literal sense like what the hindus believe the universe can be controlled or made with.. I forget the details.

Ishi has a thought, thought becomes sound called a mantra, sound exists in the world and interacts with it. If she thinks of guns it will have some effect on the world. All beings think and thus create these mantras and shape the world partly. Hindus do funny stuff I don't know much about with this concept.

^^ that mantra xp (burn ALL the vague)  

[Rednal]

Hard to show what happens over time when the world is ending - but here in this Guild, at least, Shadows exist only for Persona-users and that's not changing. ^^  

[Makako-ma]

Good to know that'll be simple  

[Makako-ma]

does the babel tower event effect Ishi at all?  

[Yokoalchemist]

It does not since she isn't in the roster. Basically, she's not a part of it. At least from my understanding.  

[Makako-ma]

will probably just leave a message at ceilias house razz  

[Hibarii chan]

Hmm... I could send someone to interact with Ishi, iiiif she's free.  

[Makako-ma]

define free. shes getting setup in her new work location as an agent disguised as a military-police inspector.

but yes, in the general sense she doesn't have too much to take care of yet, just collecting samples and figuring out how Inaba functions, enough to work there anyways  

[Rednal]

Well, she does need someplace to live right now, correct? Ciela's estate is - as mentioned - kind of full at the moment, so she won't be there. ^^ Though her job might be a lot easier if she went ahead and asked somebody for more information...  

[Makako-ma]

She needs a place to sleep more than she does to live. If it weren't for the dark hour she'd have no issue with sleeping outside even though that could be a little weird. What Ishi would be most interested in is where she can get more job information and contacts.  

[Makako-ma]

so whats going on with the mori group thing that's supposed to be controlling the government?  

[Rednal]

They kind of took over the leadership of Japan after some of the crap that happened. XD We've had some craaaaaazy things go down, after all.  

[Makako-ma]

what happened to the imperial bloodline?
what are the goals of mori?

edit

also is anybody playing the imperial family? Might make an imperial family member character.. think the emperor and immediate family should be NPC types tho.  

[Arena Emperor]

1. The Imperial Bloodline has been all but lost following the Assassination of the Emperor, the Diet legislators and the royal family by Japan's Most Wanted Man, Naniyori...formerly of the Embryon. The only two survivors of the massacre are a girl named Mokou who is secretly living under the protection of Embryon Brigadier General Gabi, and the current Emperor placed upon the throne by the new Mori, Emperor Cid.

As much power in the country's government, however, rests with the newly-reinstated office of the Shogun, occupied...of course...by Motonari Mori, the head of the Mori Clan. The Mori came to power after Motonari and his soldiers chased Naniyori out of the Imperial Capital and brought to justice as many of his 'conspirators' as possible in the time that followed. Having become a national hero through his actions, and with no emperor at the time to succeed the deceased, the people demanded that he accept temporary, emergency powers to stabilize the country. This lead his accepting the title of Shogun, which he retains even after the ascension of Emperor Cid.

2. The Mori's goal, as stated, is to unify and stabilize the country of Japan, and to do this they are dedicated to neutralizing any and all people, organizations, and supernatural creatures they deem to be a threat either to the country or the country's governing body. Their methods are ruthless, calculating, and efficient, and with their approval rating through the roof, the people at large tend to support them wholeheartedly, even if those within Government organizations have questions about how swiftly he came to power.

3. There is no more imperial family beyond Cid the Emperor and Mokou in hiding. As Rednal said...CRAZY things have happened in the past, here.

 

[Rednal]

Speaking of Mokou, I should post as her somewhere...
