SMG4: The Royal

Chapter 39: The Leader's Palace Pt. 1

Meggy explains the events of the day to Morgana, and how you had acted before running out of LeBlanc, to right now.

Morgana: This... this doesn't make any sense. A Persona user can't have a Palace. Are you sure this just isn't another Y/n?

SMG4: There's only one Y/n we know.

Desti: I'm sorry, why are you two talking to a cat?

Akechi: It's... a long story Desti. One that we will be sure to tell you once this is taken care of.

Boopkins: But what does this have to do with Y/n?

Axol: That is what we are trying to figure out.

Sakura: But one thing is for certain, we need to help him out.

Saiko: Agreed. But... maybe we should start early tomorrow. We'd be too eager if we find the right words and enter now, and mess up.

Tari: Saiko has a point. Get some rest and we will start early in the morning.

Joku: In the meantime, I'll start thinking of some possible distortions.

Devin: And I'll start with some places.

With everyone in agreement, they head to the hotel and after getting their own room key, they all went to their own rooms except for Meggy, who asked which room you were in. Thanking the receptionist, the young Inkling makes her way to said room.

Finally, she reached the door and just stood there. Never before has she felt so... helpless before. And it broke her heart that she was not able to be in there to help comfort you. She softly says that she loves you before heading to her own room to get a little bit of rest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While everyone was able to get to sleep, it wasn't a restful one. Everyone was antsy and ready for action, especially SMG4 and Akechi. Tari and Belle were trying to go over what supplies they should bring with them. Everyone else was helping in trying to figure out the keywords to your Palace.

Mario, Boopkins and Desti promised to look after Y/n and to keep him safe from anyone else so that the group can try and figure everything out.

Precious time was spent trying to list off countless words buy none of them were a match.

SMG4: We need to think more outside the box on this.

Joku: So what would you suggest? Cause I'm out of ideas.

Axol: Well, let's think for a moment. Y/n's codename is Joker. And in a deck of cards, there is a Joker card.

Akechi: And a Joker is depicted as a jester or clown. And clowns are usually found in a circus.

Target Confirmed

SMG4: So his Palace is a circus. Honestly not expecting that. So now we need to figure out what he sees the circus as.

Sakura: Should be much easier than that was. So how about I start? How about Mushroom City?

No hit, though everyone agreed that it was a good try.

Devin: My idea would be here in Yongen-Jaya.

Once again, a hit wasn't made.

Joku: Perhaps a bit smaller like Peach's Castle?

The mood was lowered even more as that was denied as well. Just then, Meggy had an idea. It sounded crazy and way over the top, but it made the most sense to her.

Meggy: We might be thinking too small here. We need to go bigger.

Saiko: Just how bigger are you talking about.
