How about both if you want? If not you can choose.

Emotional questionnnnn: What if a superhero died (including Batman and Superman cause why not >:))?

Uhmm...I'm going to talk mostly about if they just witnessed the death of the others since I don't think I'm ready to unpack the emotional baggage of killing a friend. ( But if you also about a specific kill with specific details on how it happened you can bet I'll give you a specific answer.)

It's clear in the aftermath of Superman vs Barman that Superman's death would take a toll on the civilians. He's iconic that way, I think it would be especially hard on Kara. And it would be terrible for Gotham morale and Batgirl especially, if Batman dies while being a hero.

It'd be terrible if either hero died. Both are incredibly strong and intelligent. If either died it would mean a villain strong enough and reckless enough to simply murder any adversary.

It would be pretty scary to all if Superman died....after all Cryptonien's are supposed to be indestructible, no?

Kara would take the death pretty hard. In denial, probably. Insisting that there is a way to bring him back.

If one of the Invincibro's (yo bros) died then it'll hit hard.

It'll hit differently depending on the counterpart. And the situation.

For example, if Hal died both sides will mourn. And the Invicibros will be a mess (I suspect that Steve and Hal were co-captains, if anything Steve is a bit of a figurehead). Speaking of 'captain' the school, whoever knew the confident brunet will be in shock because Hal always seemed a little invincible. Many would mourn him since he grows on you....like fungi. Jess will be wrecked and she'd blame herself because of course she would. She was his partner, she should have been there. 'And oh gosh she was alone now, she'd have to defend the space sector alone. And even if she's assigned a new partner it wouldn't matter because they weren't an obnoxious, confident, self-centered Hal'. And yes, there will be a certain dampness in the atmosphere for both teams.

If Barry died both teams (the whole city even) would mourn. Barry was beloved as both Barry the dessert slinger and the Flash, superhero speedster. Barry was kind of the kindness of the group. The one who did good for no other motive than the fact that he loved deeply and wanted to keep everyone safe. The team would keep chugging along with this mindset...but I don't think they'd be able to eat at Sweet Justice anymore. It would hit Babs' hard because he was her best (guy) friend and they swore to have each other's backs (in my AU) and she didn't have his and now he's dead. I think the girls would prefer to just move their headquarters since Sweet Justice was painful enough to just think about.

If Carter died I'm afraid no one will notice. Hawkman's death will be acknowledged but not Carter's. Carter's death if given any attention at school would be a mystery much like he was. Same with Hawkman, his death will be mourned but he'd be considered a mystery death because of his quiet nature. This will drive the boys mad because Carter Hall was DEAD and no one seemed to care. How can they not realize that everything has changed? Carter was more or less the level-headed one of the group. It would be particularly terrible for Karen since Carter was big and strong and knowing he's dead? Yes...she wouldn't take it well. She'd most likely try to avenge him.

If Oliver died it would be a bit of a scandal. I'm sure he has quite the fan base as both an aspiring actor and the charismatic Green Arrow. He was always the *cue dramatic gasp* dramatic one of the bunch. His death will be, you guessed it, terrible. Since happy, confident, loyal Green Arrow was killed. The atmosphere around the team would tune quiet, if a little hollow but they'd keep chugging through since Oliver wasn't friends with quitters. And it would hit Zee differently because the last thing they did was fight (of course they did) and now he's dead and she realized that she had fun arguing with him and their rivalry made acting so much more fun and now how is she supposed to perform when her co-star was dead? When the idiot who would make rude faces behind the curtains and then grudgingly admit she did 'decently' was dead?!? It would hit hard because Oliver and Zee shared a passion and they both left a stain there. She'd forever associate her love for the stage to her complicated friendship with a dead actor. (I think she'd hate when in the future people forget Oliver Queen's name). The whole girl said would mourn but they didn't know Oliver as well as Zee and Zee's a wreck so they'd channel their grief into comforting her.

God help the idiot who murders Steve. If Diana hasn't already killed you, the team will. The Invincibro's, I mean. Steve is a bit of a figurehead so kill the queen and they will make it their life mission to avenge him. That is all after the grieving, of course. Steve will be mourned heavily by both teams, especially by Diana and the Invicibros. Diana will be confused at first because she never even thought that Steve could die. Never crossed her mind. She never asked for anything, wanted for anything, but she wanted him. Him to be alive. How is that even possible??! Jeez, I don't see much of him so that's all I can really say.

If Garth is killed well... Both teams will be horrified and heartbroken. It's just that Garth is so innocent and sweet. And he was killed. The whole school I think would notice because the football team will mourn (in my AU) him. The city might be a bit indifferent because despite his confidence he never demanded as much attention as his team. But the team will never be indifferent to it. The Invincibro's will be furious to hide the fact that they are wrecked because yes, Garth can handle himself in a fight but he was only fourteen. He had plans and he was their friend, goddamit. (I really want to go in depth about how the girls and guys would react but I'll resist.) Kara will react similarly because how dare they take her little brother away?? One thing is letting him handle himself when he's getting bullied but killing him?

Okay...this is a quick peek at how the team and counterpart will react to their death....now for the girls!!

(they are all killed, okay? No different or accidental deaths)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

If Jess were killed the team would be a wreck, of course. Jess, I like to think, was the mom friend and medic of the group. The girls will mourn and healing will be hard. Very hard. They'll remember all the things she holds dear. I have no doubt they'll participate in protests like Jess has been bugging them to do when she was alive. The Invincibro's will be sad too, of course. Initially, then they'll be pissed. Won't rest untill they help the SHG defeat the killer. And Hal? He'll be feral, of course he would. He is very possessive and very loyal. He'd be in denial at first (they all would) because how can Jessica Fricking Cruz, passionate kind selfless Jess be dead?? That's not possible. She cared too much, had too much to do- she can't be dead. But I feel like halfway through his revenge rampant he'll remember that Jess was a pacifist and he'll...I dunno.

If Babs died the team will be swinging from horrified, to unbelieving, to furious. They'd be sad because Babs loved being a superhero and she loved helping people and now she was dead and- they'd be a mess. And don't even get me started on how Barry would take it. Wanna know how he'd take it? Very badly. Why? Because Babs is his best friend and his counterpart and he's supposed to watch her back and she's gone for real and this is terrible and he's so sensitive and everything is fallings apart it seems. He'll definitely be a little more jaded, a lot more protective and burst into tears when anyone orders a candy cake triple ripple tower with rainbow sprinkles. But then overtime it'll turn into a sad smile. Man, the Invincibro's will also be horrified since Babs was close to pretty much everyone.

If Karen died? Absolute pandemonium. The team will be equal parts blaming themselves and torn with guilt and sorrow. They will tear the world apart looking for a way to fix it somehow. Fix it the way Karen would have. The boy team, because despite all their teasing, will be in uproar because no one messed with Karen but them!! And Carter? He'll be at war with himself, because he should have protected her, the pipsqueak was too young and small and fragile to be able to hold off evil by herself and how dare she put herself in that situation? How dare she just leave them like that?? I feel like he'll be in denial for a long time, working through everything to avoid processing his grief but when it does it'll hit hard. Probably because of something small but subtle. Like getting electrocuted because Karen had quite a few fractal scars from her experimenting and super heroing. Or when he realizes he got stung by a bee- it's the little moments when it strikes deep.

If Zee died it would be a bit absolutely scandalous of course. Not only will the girls be horrified and heartbroken but so will Zee's fanbase as an actor and her father's assistant. The girls will have quite some time to even begin to adjust but soon enough they will jump straight into plotting their revenge. The boys will be livid of course but none more that her counterpart Oliver Queen. Oliver won't quite believe it, I don't think, he'll just think that Zee will just magically resurrect herself because the annoying actress who liked hogging his showtime couldn't possibly be dead. She was like a cockroach! No matter how many times squashed beneath your shoe those wretched little things will just come back. All the time...she couldn't be gone. And truly he didn't hate her, he just liked having a goal. To outshine Zee Zatara. So...how could she be dead? This will hit especially hard when he doesn't have a counterpart to fight with. Or when the leading lady role goes to someone new. Clear to say that Zee Zatara's death will be every bit heart wrenching.

If Diana dies be prepared for hell. The girls will fall apart with grief after avenging their leader. I feel that Babs would try to keep everyone together at least. The boy team will be furious because Diana was their battle plan leader too! And how- they'd be confused because how can the immortal Diana Prince die? The school would definitely have a service for the mystery top student. How would Steve react? He'd be horrified and lost, and confused but then he'd help the girls avenge W.W and live the rest of his life upholding Diana's values. (I'm not quite sure how he'd handle the grief.)

If Kara dies then there will of course first be the mourning (at least according to the show). Then the shock. Then the doubt because hasn't Kara 'died' before? And that would lead to hope which will make the moment of confirmation the most painful. For both teams. Garth will be completely blindsided with grief and anger because how dare they take his big sister? How dare they hurt moody, cold, rude at times, big softie at heart, Kara? And well I guess we'll discover that rage is also a prominent feature if the ocean, is it not? So yes, this will be an emotional rollercoaster no doubt about it.

✨✨✨EXTRA EXTRA✨✨✨

This extra will be non-super hero's who will also mourn and attempt to avenge the lost one.

Diana- she is the princess of an island of immortal warrior woman. Her mom is 'a final boss'. She will have plenty of people to avenger her (not that she would want that, per say). I kind of have a suspicion that Queen of Amazon's will either be overly sympathetic ('my daughter has chosen her path, now we can only honor her') or furiously because they were part of her daughters dream that got Diana killed (may you pray we never cross paths again or I will curse you as you have cursed me).

Karen- not sure... but maybe her parents??? They can make a suit too??

Kara- Her cousin because family is family and that's period and she's like the only survivor who doesn't want him (genuinely) dead. And Alex, her step-sister- maybe.

Jess- Green Lantern Corp.? Dexstarr?

Zee- her DAD, remember they are super close and he's super powerful and yeah....

Babs- Her dad- who's like a cop and even though he shown to be extremely lazy I have no doubt that he'd drop the donuts to find out what happened to his precious pumpkin pants. Might even call I'm Batman. Harleen, yes Harleen who tried to murder Robin because he embarrassed Babs will definitely go after her best friends murderer (even after finding out Vans secret identity)

Okay for Steve and Carter I genuinely don't know.

Garth, I'm not sure but if he's actually underwater royalty than you can expect a whole lot of flooding, earthquakes and sea monsters.

Hal- starfire is coming for your but

Oliver- Mortimer Drake, maybe? They are sort of bro's

Barry- DA WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD

Well...this was fun, wasn't it? Thanks for the beautiful ask, as usual @thedevilsmusicbox and I look forward to hearing from you. 😁🙋

GOOD EVENING. IT’S SATURDAY SEPTEMBER FOURTH, IN DOWNTOWN NADIRIS CITY, AND THIS IS EYEWITNESS FUJI NEWS, REPORTING ON LOCATION. BUILDING LOT 666 IS NOW SURROUNDED IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SHADOW OF FUMES —

Neon lights bled through puffs of smoke to fashion a haze of beautiful transparent clouds. Truth be told, the city had never looked so beautiful. The phenomenon was reported on for the entire weekend. Stories streamed by various institutions, stations, and vloggers accounted for a high speed chase that ended in the demolition of the building. Roads were marked off, and safety officials were stationed at intersections to redirect traffic away from the main street. From Friday, 11 o’clock at night, well into the daybreak of Sunday morning, most entries into downtown Nadiris were heavily monitored by law enforcement drones and AI patrol bots.

Those of the underground know the real story, which began weeks prior...

The orders started out simple. Parking Lot 666 was gaining the attention of a team of respected investigators. Uncleared foot traffic, reports of suspicious activity, and the snarling sounds coming from the building were signs the CCG couldn’t exactly ignore any longer. The board of directors were split in their decisions: hearsay, recordings of masked individuals, and anonymous tips were not substantiated. Half of the team wanted more time to explore their options– the other half wished for nothing but extermination.

A team of undercover investigators were instructed to gather enough evidence to surround the building, and take a peek inside, nothing more. And yet, later that night, the CCG would initiate a code red.

The raid would then begin unplanned. Despite the much needed caution, the investigation unfurled, and because the order was given exactly how it shouldn’t have been,– fueled by emotion, and in haste–– the board of directors have since been on edge. Never has the CCG ever had to defend their competency in leading their investigations against the Aogiri.

Regardless, the outcome was a bit of a success. The first grenade of its kind was launched into the depths of the dark lot, where many of the suspects were rendered incapacitated. RC grenades, as they’ve been called, were but the only defense the Doves had until back-up was reinforced. Their efforts were valiant, but those on the front lines of the investigation were soon to lose their lives, since the RC grenades couldn’t hold the hordes and waves of newborn hybrids.

Stronger mildly-harmed ghouls were able to trigger what CCG investigators have only heard of myths of. Kagune signals were sent by subordinates of the Aogiri tree, and down the line, their own reinforcements came in droves. The fight for life and dominance piqued well into the night. As Doves rained fires of Q bullets, Kagune walls and Traps would help defend the tattering shambles of the now found Aogiri hide out. Though the unplanned ambush surprised the Aogiri, the faction had plans of their own–

The final battle ended in a siren blaring through the city which served as a warning for those wounded to retreat and evacuate the area. Once the dust and ash finally settled, Fuji News was on the scene and the first to report on the citywide curfew enacted by city officials, any other news reports have been deleted from the cloud.

OOC INFO:

SUMMARY:

PARKING LOT 666 —much like its sister space LOT 668, this is an abandoned lot in the lower Fuji District, just north of Downtown Nadiris. Or rather, it was. The building was recently rumored to be a hangout for hybrid ghouls who’ve been recruited to the Aogiri faction and through use of anonymous tips, undercover spy drones, and hidden alliances, the CCG were able to confirm such rumors as fact. Plans were drafted and quickly executed thereafter, leaving an array of bullet shells and bloodshed from the skirmishes between the Aogiri and the CCG. Casualties were had on both sides, as well as some unaffiliated ghouls caught in the crossfires.

The event occurred in game the first weekend of September, beginning roughly around 11 PM FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD and lasted until 7 AM SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH. The building was completely surrounded and marked off at 8 AM THAT SATURDAY and heavily patrolled and guarded until SUNDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 5TH. The building is still enclosed with crime scene tape, but is finally free of any CCG activity.

1. FUJI NEWS HAS REPORTED ON ONE STORY ONLY: THE FAKE ONE.

FUJI eyewitness news has reported on a false high speed chase involving an armed robbery which started at Fuji Mall, and ended at the crime scene. Highway lanes and nearby streets were sectioned off and closed for transportation to and from downtown. Reports claim the suspects were cornered and ultimately brought in for questioning September 4th, 8:00am.

2. LOCKDOWN INSTATED.

Nadiris City is officially on an unjustifiable lockdown, which is raising some eyebrows of concern. No traveling in, or out of the city for the foreseeable future. All flight plans for traveling to the outer islands have been canceled as well as any autotrain tickets.

3. DESPITE THE LACK OF PLANNING THE CCG CONSIDERS THIS A VICTORY

Now that Lot 666 has been fully evacuated and raided, Lot 668 is currently being investigated — this time with more caution. CCG investigators are using all their efforts to infiltrate and gain any evidence to provide more insight on the building. Ghouls are discouraged from meeting in the parking lot, and Aogiri are now being briefed to eliminate any drones, spyware devices, or other outsiders who may incriminate their cause.

INTRODUCING:

The following have been added to our glossary and are strongly encouraged to be used in any future interactions.

RC GRENADES — otherwise known as control RC gas. an experimental weapon made by the CCG. when released and inhaled by ghouls or hybrids, it begins to affect the respiratory system, weakening and impairing ghouls or hybrids to the point of unconsciousness.

KAGUNE WALL — a defense mechanism used by ghouls which burrows into the ground and sprouts like a thorn bush or other organic barriers. It extends itself to fill the entire area, making passage impossible.

KAGUNE TRAP — a protective measure, in which the kagune can be buried within any surface, and springs forward for an offensive strike. These traps will lie in wait until nearby movement triggers them, bursting from their hiding place to impale what has set them off.

KAGUNE SIGNAL — a signal for help that is able to relay a distress call to any neighboring ghouls. Signals are typically only responded to by a ghoul who is part of the same faction as the one who utilizes the signal, however most ghouls can hear and respond to the signal should they wish to.

IC INFO ( PARTICIPATION IS NOT MANDATORY ):

IN CHARACTER TASK PROMPTS:

Consider how / if your muse was involved in or contributed to the raid. CCG agents would have been alerted by the CODE RED. Ghouls in proximity may have reached kagune signals. Humans and the unaffiliated could have been caught in the crossfires !!

Feel free to explore how your muse feels about the raid. Are they scared or hurt ? Are they feeling successful ? Are they still feeling rage ?

Will the raid provide caution for your muse? What was the damage to your muse? And did they inflict damage on others?

What’s the aftermath? Do they know anyone who was injured ? Are they grieving a casualty ? Are they guilty of a body count ?

How do they feel about the citywide lockdown? Does this derail any of their plans ?

Will they believe Fuji News, or will they be coming up with their own conspiracy theories ?

Reflective self paras are also encouraged should you choose to engage in the task !!

STARTERS:

Starters may consist of any events after the plot drop but are not limited to the previous event !! Reacting to the plot drop IC is completely optional !!

You may also post any flashbacks or travel back in time should muses have any participation in the plot drop !!

Please tag any flashback interactions, threads, or self paras as ;; nadiris: event, ;; nadiris: task and/or ;; nadiris: plot drop i.

I hate silent protags, but especially for the persona series because it robs us of genuine character interaction between our main character and the others. Playing the game at face value, you can assume Akira is a guy who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty if it means saving someone in need, but he’s also more of an observer than an active participant in his daily life. He eavesdrops a lot, doesn’t get involved in club activities like past persona protagonists, and a lot of his body language indicates that he’s a bit awkward despite his confidence in the metaverse. Take away his party members, and the victory screen no longer shows him strutting and confidently calling everyone along but instead shows him shyly rubbing the back of his neck and averting eye contact with the camera.

But then you have to pay attention for the rest of it. Morgana mentioning that his hands shake when he writes his name, the fact that he repressed the memory of being arrested even though it’s glaringly obvious to the player who Shido is from the very beginning, Morgana mentioning that Akira doesn’t eat well, really factoring in how many part-time jobs he has as well as how many tasks keep him busy from morning to night as the leader (seriously, it’s no wonder Morgana’s always nagging the poor kid to Stop and Sleep), his competitive spirit that comes out when you really take a look at his dialogue choices, the fact that he sleeps on a thin mattress on top of crates, etc. etc.

Spin-off material like the manga and anime offer more insight to his actual characterization, but I just wish we had that in the base game. It wasn’t really until looking into those other sources that I started to genuinely feel something other than “oh, this is my son” for the character and really got invested in his story as an individual who goes from being seen as a dangerous burden for everyone around him to the legendary trickster that shoots the god who dealt him this hand in the face.

Royal did give us something that the base game never did, and that was further exploration of his personal regret in not being able to save Akechi. It’s not up to the player to decide if Akira cares about him because Akira will wish for Akechi’s life no matter what. He carries his glove with him in his pocket every day, as implied that he still has it in his pocket months after it was given to him. The game never tells you outright “Akira is still grieving,” but if you care enough to pay attention, you can start to understand just how heavily this weighed on him, likely in the original version of the game, as well. And who could he have spoken to about any of it? His friends didn’t like him, there was no body, no funeral, no grave, and no professional available to him had any idea what the metaverse was, so he could never be entirely honest about what he’d been through.

And speaking of professional, Royal also introduced Maruki as the school’s counselor who should have been able to notice Akira’s troubles throughout the school year but decided to accept Akira’s mask of stability and write him off as being stable enough to instead listen to his own problems. I love that disaster man, but he really failed this kid. I still don’t quite understand how he found out about what happened to Akechi considering he was no longer working at the school at that time, nor had he been in contact with Akira at all, but the fact remains that he could see the grief in Akira enough to know what his wish would be had he ever spoken it aloud, and still there was no real effort to reach out and help him truly process any of it. Obviously Maruki was the antagonist at that point and rather than help anyone through their trauma, his answer was to let everyone forget their pain in favor of a happy dreamscape, so there’s no reason for him to offer any helpful advice. But still. He’s the only adult with knowledge of the metaverse and at least a root desire to help others, and even he couldn’t help Akira.

This has gotten away from me, but my point is that Akira went through a lot that year. Even if the game paints it as a fun thrillride, it’s also obvious these experiences were traumatic, and there’s no way he won’t be affected by the things he did and saw for years. Especially since he has no one looking out for him, and he has no reason to feel as though he can actually open up about anything. But we don’t get to really see that. We don’t get to see the cracks in his mask in favor of mostly silence and the occasional dialogue option that’s only a few words. It’s implied that he can hold lengthy conversations (seriously, how many times does Akechi mention how meaningful their talks are and how insightful Akira is), but we don’t get to experience it. It’s a shame, and I wish we’d stop with the silent protag/self-insert approach to games like this because it doesn’t make it more immersive. If anything, it disconnects you from the actual events taking place.

#jest talks about persona #i had one whole encouragement to share my Thots even if they're lengthy and uninteresting but ya know it's fine
