OOC: Shadow Stuff
This is just for shits and giggles.
Appearance: Her high school uniform with SEES armband. Otherwise she looks the same just creepy yellow eyes.
Personality: Very very aggressive. While Yukari is not afraid to go after what she wants, it's balanced with her concern for others which the Shadow has thrown out of the window. Her tone is brisk, flightly, and intentionally hurtful. When speaking to men she is a total hoface. She hits on them relentlessly, but if they talking about caring for her she will lash out. Older women make her uncomfortable since they remind her too much of her mother so she'll be a tiny bit aloof. As with normal Yukari, her temper is easy to set off and be careful when you do. She doesn't hold anything back.
Dungeon: Its name is "Home". It changes and morphs as the party goes up therefore, I'll break it down floor by floor.
1st Floor-Cheery, typical Japanese type of house. The Shadows on this floor are relatively weak and the stairs are easy to find. Nothing too serious.
2nd Floor-Overheard speech upon arrival: "Young Woman-->Yukari-chan....There's something you need to know. It's your father." Mirror image of the first floor. Dark, household items are everywhere. The team will need to find alternate paths to the stairs to get around them. Shadows have jumped up about 10 levels to the 20s.
3rd Floor-First confrontation with Shadow. She shall monologue like a good villian should.
[sitting on top of a makeshift throne of moving boxes with legs crossed and head supported by arm propped up on knee] One more to go. [grins] Hope you didn't get too attached to him. [sobers] ...my father was a good man. Not that anybody remembered all the good things after the explosion. People treated us like we were trash after for nearly two years. They gathered outside our house, the kids and teachers both stopped talking to me at school, we got hate letters.... [straightens up. her legs are still crossed. her voice becomes snappish and bitter] All because we were just related to Daddy. Good thing Mom found another boyfriend we could move in with. Lucky break, huh? [wry smile] Have fun, guys~! We're going all the way to the top! [snaps fingers, 8O SHE'S GOOOOOOONE]
4th Floor-Overheard speech upon arrival: "Girl: Yukari-chan, what about your house? Think we can all hang out there?
Younger Yukari: No, we don't have any snacks. Maybe next time."
Surroundings are in disrepair. Very small floor, meant to capture the cramped feeling of a small apartment. Many of the doors lead to nowhere or are dead ends. The way up is a fire escape.
5th Floor-Overheard speech: "Noble Young Woman: You have the potential, Takeba. We need you to join us."
Eerie Voice: I am THOU and THOU art I. Call upon ME, the facade used to overcome life's hardships, the pursued maiden, Io!
[bang of a gun]
The next two floors resemble the 3rd floor of the Iwatodai dorms albeit with a greenish tint. The party has entered a simulated version of the Dark Hour. Blood is on the floor and the full moon can be seen from every window. Shadows have gone up about 5 levels; several of them will block or repel wind. The stairs have returned to normal.
5th Floor-Overheard speech: "Yukari: They've got us trapped! Come on, we'll head for the roof!"
"Shadow!Yukari: Bad move, me. You'll be just as useless there as you are here~. Maybe you all should help out!"
6th Floor-"Shadow!Yukari: Let's see you if you're in it for the long haul!"Miniboss teim. It'll be one of the Minotaurs. Ties into the whole bull/cow asthetic Yukari has going on with her Persona. It WILL cast Diarama when near death so don't use up all your HP and SP. The Minotaur will drop the item "Spare Key". Trust me, you'll need it.
7th Floor-"Shadow!Yukari: Scary, holding using those Evokers, isn't it? I remember mine like it was just yesterday.... Guess it's just like riding a bike. You don't forget. You just put it up to your head and--BANG!" A perfect reconstruction of the second floor of Tartarus or, to be clearer, the first floor in Block 1: Thebel. "Thebel" is Hebrew for "confusion (violation of the natural or divine order)" and "perversion (in sexual sin)". Someone will have to double check that for me though. I'm also pretty sure that the first fits Persona more than the second. The very existence of Tartarus goes against the natural. It is basically man-made; created alongside the Dark Hour by the Kirijo Corp.'s failed attempt at gathering Shadows twelve years prior. It says something when most of the main characters's memories from the past year are erased so that their psyches can cope with the immense trauma of all that's gone on: calling on Personas, exploring Tartarus and the Dark Hour, fighting off the being that nearly brings about the literal end of the world. It's not how things are supposed to be.
A blue-haired teenager with his hands in his pockets will run ahead of the party. GUESS WHO THAT COULD BE.
Spoiler: If you hear chains, RUN LIKE HELL. The Reaper will fuck you if it catches you.
8th Floor-"Hang in there! You're almost to the top! [giggle]" Once again, a reconstruction of a floor in the last block of Tartarus: Monad (a Greek term meaning "God, the first being, the totality of all things"). The latter term makes sense in the grand scheme of Persona. At that point, you are fighting to stave off The Fall, the end of the world, from destroying all of humanity. Need I go on? Several doors lead to a straight drop down 230 some floors and if you have the misfortune of falling, you'll end up a splat on the ground covered with upright coffins below. Good luck surviving that. The *~mysterious teenager*~ shows up again. Dude runs fast though and you won't catch him.
9th Floor-Save floooooooooooor. Here you can go back to the Entrance Hall or heal up and save before the battle. Ahead lies a regular looking door. This is where you use your Spare Key. Ascend the stairs. YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
10th Floor-You've survived this far! Congratulations! Now sit back and enjoy a cutscene.
[a speck floats towards the full moon. it is closer and brighter than you've ever seen in your life. Shadow!Yukari's eyes glint in the moonlight as she looks after it while Yukari is on her guard across the small circular platform. you don't know where you are, but you can tell that it is surrounded by pillars and that you're standing on a checkered floor. the greenish tint from the dorm floors and Thebel are back in full force. looks like you've reached the right place.]
Shadow Yukari: [addressing the team] Two down. You just missed him, by the way. Too bad too. He was a heck of a guy.
Yukari: Stop talking about him like he's dead!
S!Y: [smirks, glances at Yukari with hands on hips] He might as well be. You never told him; you figured he could tell just from looking at you. [laughs] Guess he could see how desperate you were from a mile away and ran off before he could get sucked in.
Yukari: You little...!
S!Y: And then he came back! Not like it did you any good because you wanted him to reconnect with everyone, you'd get your chance later. Just like everybody else. [mocking:] You'd get your chance, you'd be able to keep them around this time, they wouldn't run away when you needed them the most! But it never works, huh? You'll always be Little Miss Good Time or Little Miss Bitch~
Yukari: That's not how it is! What would you know about it anyway?
S!Y: [tosses hair] You're me and I'm you, of course.
Yukari: No way! I'm not some little girl who begs for attention! That's not who I am!
You guys: [OHSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT]
Yukari: You're not me!
[Border of Insanity gets really loud, whooshing noises of doom!]
S!Y: Haha..hahahahAHAHAHAHAHA! That's right, put up that brave front! Let me take over for a while! [sends out energy thingie that knocks everyone down. when it clears the true form is there in all its glory]
[when the battle actually starts] I am a Shadow...the true self.... Your loneliness will end here!
