———————————————————————————————————–
04/17/2011-Sun-Early morning
You stretched from your futon as you sat up. The first thing you saw was Izanami curled up on the couch. You rubbed your eyes and did your morning routine. After brushing your teeth, you went to your room to change. Izanami was already awake examining your drawer of clothes. Specifically, the bra and underwear drawer.
"(Name), I do not understand the use of this." She picked up your favorite bra which was (color) with black lace around the straps and cups. "What does it do? Do you wear it?"
You flushed a little, cheeks growing a bit warm. "That uh... You wear it, yes. Uh..." You trailed off. How can you explain this to your Persona?
"You know what? Just give it to me." She handed you the bra. You hesitated for a while before taking off your shirt and putting your bra on. Your face was on fire when you took a glance at Izanami, who was staring intently. When you finally clipped it, you had to adjust your breast to the cups. After that, you quickly grabbed your shirt and put it on. When you put on your jacket, you looked at Izanami with an embarrassed look.
"That's... what it's purpose is." You muttered.
Izanami blinked. "Why must you wear it, though?"
If it was possible to burn any further, you would rival the Sun. "To... uh... Do you know those... things on your breasts? This can cover them because if they harden, they can be seen through just the shirt so..."
Finally she realized the purpose of the clothing. "Oh! That's how." She then digs further in the drawer and picked out the panties that matched the bra your wearing. "And what does this do?"
‘Oh god.'
After a brief lesson on what other undergarments you have, you walked down the living room with your winter outfit. You saw Nanako sitting on the table.
"Oh, good morning." She greeted you. You looked around the house, noticing her father isn't here.
"Your father isn't here?" You asked.
"He had work to do, so he left early. He said he's gonna be late." Nanako said.
"(Name)," Izanami started. "If we leave now, Nanako will be left alone in the house."
'But we still have to meet up with Yosuke...' You thought.
"Are you going somewhere?" She said to bring your attention back. "I'll be fine by myself." She picked up the remote and turned on the TV where a weather forecast is playing. "-so the weather this weekend will be perfect for going out. As for next week's forecast..." Said the announcer. 
"Oh, the sun's gonna come out. I should do some laundry."
"She is a very resourceful girl to live so independently." Izanami said.
"Um... weren't you going somewhere?" You fumbled over your words and went to the front door to put on your shoes.
"Stay safe, Nanako. I'll be back soon." You called and stepped outside together with Izanami and went to Junes.
At Junes...
You tapped on the table absentmindedly while you propped your chin on the palm of your other hand. Izanami sat opposite of you, taking in all the sites. You waited for like ten minutes yet Yosuke still hasn't shown up.
"I wonder what's taking them so long..." You muttered.
"Here they come." Izanami said. You saw Yosuke wearing a white jacket with fur at the collar covering an orange shirt, brown pants and boots. Something was behind his back. Jiraiya was floating beside him but stopped when he saw a group of girls chatting. He instantly flew over there and pressed his face at their chest area.
Izanami sighed. "I'll get him." She stood up and walked (how she walked with those blades attached to her feet, you'll never know) towards Jiraiya and pinched him by the circle things. Probably his ears since they resembled Mickey Mouse's ears.
"Sorry for the holdup. Were you waiting long?"
"Just a few minutes. I had to explain some stuff with Izanami."
"What kind of stuff-"
"I don't want to talk about it." You cut him off.
"O-Okay... I found some stuff we can use in the closet at home. Take a look at these!" He presented what was behind his back. In his left hand was a nata and on his right was a naginata[1]. Your eyes widened.
"We've got our Personas, but a golf club's not that reliable of a weapon."
"Ya think?" You joked.
"Speaking of Personas, where's Jiraiya and Izanami?" You pointed towards Izanami choking Jiraiya by his scarf. His protests didn't alert the girls on the table.
Yosuke sighed. "He's been like that ever since the lingerie department incident. And I told to myself never to bring that up again!" He scolded himself.
"You think you got problems? That stuff I said about was that I had to explain what ladies undergarments to Izanami." You mentally slapped yourself. "And I told myself that I'll never have to bring that up again."
"Whoa, you did!?" Yosuke asked excitedly.
"Can we just get to the weapons?" You asked exasperatedly.
"Oh right. So which one strikes your fancy?"
"I'll take the naginata." You said.
"Yeah, come to think of it. You look pretty badass when you wield a spear. As for me... Wait, maybe both would be good, too." He did some ridiculous battle poses while swinging around the weapons. For a few moments, you saw the naginata wave a little.
"Are those fakes?" You questioned.
"Well I can't hold real weapons. What d'ya expect?"
"Two suspicious figures. One male and one female, one armed with multiple weapons, probably harassing the female. Requesting for immediate backup." Said someone. You two froze when you two saw a policeman. Yosuke hid the weapons behind his back while you stood up.
"Huh...? Ohh crap. I mean..." Yosuke stammered. "No... No no no no, this isn't what it looks like. We didn't steal it... Uh, I guess that's not what matters... A-Anyways, we're not doing anything bad! We're just two ordinary kids who like weapons and... Ugh, that doesn't sound right either." He laughed nervously.
"Don't make this any worse, Yosuke!" You said angrily.
"Put your weapons down now! We'll listen to your story at the station." The officer said. "Hands where I can see them, too! I said now!"
Yosuke, amazingly, displayed the fake weapons and reasoned with the officer. "B-But... This isn't..."
"Are you resisting an officer of the law!? Y-You're under arrest!"
"Stop it, Yosuke! Why are you swinging those things around!?" You asked.
"Maybe if he sees how flimsy it is, he'll think they're fakes!" He replied. 
"He'll never see it, just stop making things a lot worse!"
Soon two more officers came running. They handcuffed the both of you and shoved you inside a police car. You sent Yosuke a death glare and he nervously laughed.
With Jiraiya and Izanami...
“You're just... jealous that... I can't check you out..." Jiraiya choked on his scarf while Izanami pulled some more.
"And why would you think that?" Izanami said, tugging the scarf.
"Because... you'll just zap... me and... I'm weak to Electricity..."
"Good point." She loosened grip though when a crowd started to form. Jiraiya started to breathe again and sucked in all the air he can get. Izanami, being inanimate, phased through the crowds and saw (Name) and Yosuke being hauled into a black and white wheeled box. Then the box drove off. She followed, passing Jiraiya who asked what was happening.
He sighed. "If we are going to follow someone, I would've suggested floating. But nope, she runs." He followed Izanami while floating. "Eh, it's kinda kinky to see her run. Makes that rump look more appealing."
Back to you and Yosuke...
"We're sorry." You and Yosuke said as you bowed traditionally to your uncle.
‘But it was all Yosuke's fault.' You though bitterly. 
"Wait, so the one that disappeared is the Amagi girl...?" Said a man strolling by with a police officer.
"Seems like it... But she's  just a high schooler, you know. Could be that she decided to run away from home..." Said the officer then they were out of earshot.
"Did he say Amagi...? Then... She really is..." Yosuke muttered.
“Hm? Who's what now?" Dojima asked.
"Um, nothing oji-san." You said and grabbed Yosuke's wrist. "Listen, we have to go somewhere real quick, so bye!" You kissed his cheek and went to the exit. Dojima just stood there, processing what happened until he brushed it off and went to his office. You ran until you bumped into a fellow policeman holding a cup of coffee.
"Whoa... Pardon me." He took a good look at you. "Huh? Aren't you the kid staying at Dojima-san's place?" You nodded and let go of Yosuke's wrist.
"Oh...! Uh, can we ask you something?" He asked. The man blinked and directed his gaze towards him.
"It's about Yukiko-san... I mean, Yukiko Amagi of the Amagi inn... Did something happen to her?"
"Huh? Oh, umm... Am I allowed to say...?" He pondered. "Well, if your friends with Ms. Amagi... Keep this between us, okay? We got a call from Ms. Amagi's parents yesterday evening saying they couldn't find her anywhere. Since it was the weekend, the workers at the inn were extremely busy, and no one saw Ms. Amagi around that time. Oh, but that doesn't necessarily mean this is a case just yet! But, people've been turning up dead on foggy days... So we're really sensitive to stuff like this. By the way, did she say anything to you guys about maybe going through some hard times?"
"Uh...? Hard times?" Yosuke said.
"Well, that announcer, Ms. Yamano, was staying at the Amagi inn before the first murder. Seems Ms. Yamano had some harsh words for the manager about the staff's attitude towards guests. The stress of it caused the manager to collapse. And with Ms. Amagi being the manager's daughter... She must've felt pretty strongly about the incident, y'know. By the way, did Ms. Amagi ever hint that she might be leaving the house? 'Cause if not, there's been some theories floating around that she's laying low for some reason or another... Crap, I think I've gone too far. You didn't hear that, okay?"
"Adachi, what the hell are you chatting with civvies for!? And where's my coffee!?" You heard the voice of your uncle.
"S-Sorry! I got it right here!" The person, Adachi, yelled back. "Psst! Forget I said anything! Please!" He begged then walked quickly to Dojima's office. You and Yosuke walked towards the front desk where your Personas were there. Izanami was hunched over, panting while Jiraiya just floated as usual except he seemed... singed.
"Where have you guys been?" Yosuke asked.
Izanami gasped. "We... followed you when... you were taken away..." She said in between breaths.
"Yeah, we were worried about you two. How come you get to go with (Name), Yosuke?" Jiraiya said.
"Th-That's not the point, Jiraiya! What matters is that Yukiko might be convicted as the killer!" Yosuke half-yelled, half-whispered.
"What?" Izanami asked. You explained what Adachi said, about Ms. Yamano staying in at the Amagi Inn and Yukiko being the prime suspect.
"But Yukiko is missing right now! Do the authorities not see that she could practically be in danger?" Izanami said.
"We know, but the police won't believe the world in the TV or the two of you. Our best hope is to save Yukiko ourselves." You said.
"Yeah." Yosuke said. "I just hope Chie doesn't hear about this-"
"There you are!" The meat-loving girl yelled. She ran towards you two, passing through your Personas bodies.
"You were saying?" Jiraiya said.
"Sheesh, what're you guys doing!? I've been looking everywhere!"
"Uh, well, there was a slight misunderstanding... We'll tell you about it later. Anyways, something's up with Yukiko-san!"
Chie did a double-take. "Huh? You know already!? I kept calling her cell, but she wouldn't pick up... So I went to her house, and it turns out Yukiko really did disappear...!"
"I guess we've got no choice but to go now..." Yosuke said. "But that aside, the cops are saying some weird stuff. They think Yukiko-san's hiding to 'lay low'... Apparently Yukiko-san's mom collapsed because that announcer lady bitched her out. They think that gives her a motive, and the fact that the announcer died right after makes her even more suspicious..."
"What!?" Chie fumed. "They think Yukiko did it!? What the hell is wrong with them!?"
"Dude, don't snap at me! Yukiko's the victim here, dammit, not the suspect... " You could feel the agitation off of Yosuke. This is probably one of those traits the 'Wild Card' possess.
"Look, what matters the most is that we need to save Yukiko." You said. "But... we don't have any weapons to fight off Shadows. Besides our Personas." You muttered the last part.
"We heard that." Jiraiya and Izanami said.
"R-Right! That's the important thing!" Chie said. 
"With the police totally on the wrong track, we've gotta handle it ourselves." Yosuke said.
"I'm going too!" Chie volunteered. Both you and Yosuke looked at her. "And that's final! I'm going to save Yukiko no matter what!"
"Are you gonna be alright...?" Yosuke asked, unsure. "But man... They just confiscated our weapons. We can't go in empty-handed..."
"Weapons...? I know just the place! C'mon, follow me!" She ran and you two followed with your Personas. And this time Izanami floated.
Chie led you to a shop in the Shopping District. It was a metal works shop with different weapons and armor on display. A old man stood behind the wooden counter. He was balding with a white bandana with reddish orange hair, wearing a white tee and shorts. He had a scar across his face which made him intimidating.
"Here we are!" Chie announced.
"Wh-what kinda shop is this...?" Yosuke asked.
"A metal works shop... I guess? They sell all sorts of metal crap... like katanas and stuff." She replied.
"Doesn't that seem weird to you!? Why would you know about a place like this anyway?" Then Yosuke's eyes widened with realization. "Oh, I get it... You watched one too many kung-fu movies, and..."
"It's not that at all! I overheard some guys in our class talk about it. They said this place sells weapons and armor." She walked over to a metal breastplate on display. "Here, this one looks good. But it might be too heavy..."
"I dunno, Chie... I still think it's too dangerous. I know how you feel, but-"
"You don't!" Chie yelled abruptly. "You don't know shit about how I feel... Yukiko might die from this, for crying out loud! I'm going, and that's that!"
"Alright, but stay behind us." You said.
Chie scoffed. "I'll be fine! My reflexes are second to none!" You face-palmed.
"Listen... I'm not kidding around..." Yosuke said.
"He's right, Chie. Reflexes won't save you in there. You don't know what we saw and it's better for you to stay with us."
"If you insist on coming, just make sure you have something to protect yourself." Yosuke said. Chie grumbled but nodded anyway. She went to another part of the shop as Yosuke mumbled to himself.
"Man, what should we get...? Hey, (Name). Mind picking out something for me, too? You're our main asset in battle right now, so I think you should choose whatever makes it easiest for you." He took 5,000 yen from his wallet and handed it to you. "Now don't spend much. I don't think my wallet can take the strain."
"I'm flattered that you want me to choose our weapons, but I think I'm not the one whom you should be asking." You said, taking the money.
"Huh? Then who?" You cocked your head to the two hyperactive beings, floating about as if there were kids in a candy store.
"(Name)! I never knew there was still a blacksmith in existence! Just look at the fine craftsmanship in these weapons!" Izanami tried to pick up a naginata but her hands just phased through.
Somewhere, Jiraiya whistled. "Man. If I was solid, I could have made use of these things. I could have raided a lot of loot." Yosuke sighed.
"You know... if we wear this stuff around town, we'll just get picked up again. But it's not like we can waltz into Junes with a sack full of gear and expect no one to notice, either..."
"Why not conceal them under our uniforms? I don't think people would notice." Chie said. 
"Okay... Let's try that." Yosuke turned to you. "Alright. Let's split up and get ready. The store'll be crowded until the afternoon sale ends, and if we walk around together, the cops might get suspicious."
"Then I'll see you guys at the Junes food court!" Chie went outside with a bag full of hidden weapons. Yosuke went to the part where Jiraiya was ogling different types of ninja weapons. You went to the swords section where Izanami was trying to hold a very ornate naginata[1]. You sighed and held it for her. The hilt was wrapped in (favorite color) leather and the hilt pattern was like the flower on Izanami's shoulder.
"This is beautiful." You looked at the price tag and bit your lip. "But it's expensive." The price was 5,000 yen and that was for you and Yosuke's weapons and armor.
"Hey, girl." The man said. You turned and walked towards the desk. He held out his hand and you gave him the spear. He unsheathed it and polished the blade.
"This is one of my finest work of art yet. Painstakingly handcrafted into perfection. In fact there was even legend saying that the first emperor, Jimmu Tenno first used this blade." The man laughed in a hoarse way. You sweat dropped.
"Alright, just this once. I'm giving a special discount since you seem to appreciate it's beauty." Your eyes widened and thanked the man, whom he introduced as Daidara. Instead of 5,000 yen, he changed it to only a 1,000 yen. You thanked him again and searched for other weapons and armor. You've gotten Yosuke two kunai and got the both of you some lightweight but strong armor. You only got 200 yen left and grabbed the bag.
"That Daidara man is very nice to give you a discount." Izanami said.
"Yep. And he said he can make more if we bring him some materials probably found in the TV world." You looked around, noticing that Yosuke and Chie are gone. "Those two already left?"
"It seems so. I do not see that perverted frog anywhere."
You had to cover your mouth so Izanami couldn't see your amused smile. "Thinking about him already?"
Izanami shook her head. "I just don't like how he completely disrespects the privacy of women." You bit your lip trying not to giggle and made your way back home to change. Then a bright light flashed and a blue door was floating beside you.
'Wh-What the...!' You thought. It was ornate and it reminded you of someplace. The people walked by you, unaware of the floating door.
"Are we the only ones who can see this?" Izanami said. Then your pocket glowed. That was the key Igor gave you.
"Looks like it." You stared at the door, the light flowing. "Well, what are we waiting for?" You opened the door and a bright light flashed...
Only to find out that you were inside the same limousine.
"We have been expecting you." Igor said. "The catastrophe that is headed your way... It has already taken human lives in its approach towards you... But you have nothing to fear. You already have the power to fight against it. It seems that the time for you to use your Persona has come..." He chuckled. Speaking of Persona, Izanami wasn't with you.
"Do not worry about your Persona." Margaret said. "She is inside this tome as a card. Whenever you visit this room, your Persona will be safely recorded in here." You looked at the thick book on her lap. It was velvet blue with a 'V' insignia on the cover. "Your Persona ability is that of the wild card. If you strengthen your bonds properly, their power will help you overcome any ordeal. Our role is to facilitate that."
"My contribution... is to give birth to new Personas." Igor said. "By mixing together multiple Persona cards, I can transmute them into a new form... This, in other words, is the fusion of Personas. You have the power to hold multiple Personas and to use them accordingly. When you defeat an enemy, the seeds of possibility you attain will appear before you as cards. At times, they may be hard to grasp... but you must master your fear and reach out to them. When you obtain new cards, please do not hesitate to bring them here. If you have been developing your Social Links, then your Persona will gain even more power... They will be one of your chief sources of strength.. You would do well to take this to heart."
"I think I understand. Thank you." You said. Igor and Margaret looked at each other, then she nodded and spoke,
"This tome you see in my hand is the Persona Compendium. Registering the Personas you hold, including your initial Persona, will allow you to recall them at any time. Please see me when you wish to use it. Oh and one more thing... I would like to introduce a new resident of the Velvet Room, who will be helping you on your journey." Seeing that you only realized this now, you saw a black-haired girl next to Igor's right side. She wore a sleeveless collared white button-up with a red plaid skirt, black and white striped thigh-high socks and black boots. She wore arm length black and red fingerless gloves and wore a blue cap with a golden badge with the same insignia on the tome. Despite the cap, she looked familiar.
"... Marie?" Margaret called.
"Yeah, I can hear. Nice to meet you." She said glumly. Well, she seemed friendly when you first met her.
"I've met you somewhere... At the train station. Remember?" You said.
"Huh? I guess we have..." She mumbled.
"Excuse her. This is Marie. Her soul is still very young and-"
"Shut up! Don't tell her any more about me than you need to." She yelled.
"... As you can see. She may be brusque at times, but please understand that she is only an apprentice and forgive her for her impoliteness."
"Got it."
"Marie will be dealing with 'Skill Cards'. Using these cards will allow you to provide your Personas with new powers. Also, I am sure she will help you form a bond between yourself and the 'outside world'. Marie will contact you at a later date. Please feel free to speak with her here when you wish to use her services."
Igor chuckled. "Do you recall my words to you before? 'The coming year is a turning point in your destiny... If the mystery goes unsolved, your future may be forever lost.'. I meant precisely what I said. Defeat in battle is not the only way your journey may come to an end... Please do not forget this." You gulped. Great. Now you'll be paranoid about what else will kill you.
"When next we meet, you will come here of your own will." He chuckled. "I look forward to it. Until then... farewell." That was the last thing he said before the whole room went white as you felt the cold air outside.
Persona Time
When (Name) and Yosuke were questioned by the police, Izanami and Jiraiya ran (well, Izanami ran) across town hoping to find where they were held. However Izanami, not knowing the modern buildings and signs, was having trouble and Jiraiya secretly knew which building is which from Yosuke's information.
"Is this it?" Izanami wondered looking at a building.
"That would be a barber shop." Jiraiya said. Izanami huffed in annoyance and ran again.
"Is this it?"
"That would be a diner."
"Is this it?"
"That's just an abandoned building."
Izanami groaned and tried to hit something with her spear but it just passed through. She walked around aimlessly, hoping to find her Persona user.
"You know you were right about that abandoned building being the police department. I just thought it would be funny for you to be mad."
Sparks flew from Izanami as she gripped her naginata tighter.
"Uh... no hard feelings?"
"You have five seconds to run before I obliterate you into ashes."
"Come on, you really don't mean that-"
"Five-"
"Seriously Izanami. Stop playing around."
"Four-"
"You can stop with the light show Izanami."
"Three-"
"You know I'm think I'm gonna take that offer about running."
"Two-"
"Bye!"
"One."
KABOOM!
[1] Well since Izanagi and Narukami has swords, you and Izanami will have a spear instead because mythology says that they made the land with a jewelled spear.
