Working With Phantoms

Bank Robbing

June 21st

Madran arrived back in the Velvet Room to see the entire group ready.

"Oh, nice, we're all here! Well, whenever y'all are ready, we can get going."

After a quick break in the action, everyone got up and headed to the palace. Once there, Madran saw that Akira's group had also arrived and were huddled in a circle, Makoto included.

"Yes, Queen sounds like a good name."

"O-Oh, ok!"

Madran noticed that Ryuji looked rather afraid and walked up to them.

"Hey, y'all, what's up?"

"Oh, Madran... Fwoosh... was it?"

"Yep! That's the name. Hey, have you decided on a codename yet?"

"Yes. I will now be known as Queen in this world."

"Gotcha, Queen."

"Well, now that everyone in your group's here, how does this work? Do you have a plan?"

The rest of Akira's group then suddenly looked confused at the mention of a plan, which led to Maya speaking up.

"Why, yes. Simply, the two groups take two different paths to find the treasure. Whoever finds it first guides the other to it, and we then steal it together. Whenever we get into a battle normally, you simply dispose of the shadows, but if we're around, then we use certain skills from our personas to help out."

Makoto nodded.

"Hey, why can't you guys be like her?"

"Uh, s-sorry, Queen..."

"Skull, is everything ok?"

"He's just a little intimidated, that's all."

Makoto chuckled and smiled at Madran.

"Well, on that note, let's get going."

Wysteria then walked up to the door.

"Huh. This is locked. Hey, Fwoosh, can you find a way in aside from this door?"

"Gotcha! Come, Dharma!"

Madran then summoned Dharma as Akira walked up to the piggy bank statue and pressed the nose, which caused it to move aside and reveal the stairs.

"Well, if we press the- what?!"

Akira made a smug smile before slinking down the stairs in a strikingly seductive manner as his group followed behind. Then, Madran led her group down as well, where they arrived in a side hallway.

"Ok, well, hang on! I'm going to do a quick scan of this floor."

Madran then performed a deep scan, which lasted for a few quick moments.

"Well, on this floor, all we should look for are ways into terminal rooms, because we need to go down! The elevators are all locked, so those rooms are very important. If you guys find a terminal room and attain a card or key of sorts, then let us know."

Akira nodded.

"Hey, Queen, can you do the contact thingy that Fwoosh does?"

"Yes, I believe so. Shall we get moving?"

The group nodded and went out their way. Then, Madran plotted a course of sorts to a terminal room.

"Alright, there's a room a bit aways away, but Joker's going to the other one. What we need to do is go in there, and I have a feeling that there's a key or whatever in it. Are we ready?"
