Persona 2: Innocent Sin 02

Hm, were we, headed to the weapon store?
A young man; says Hirasaka isn't in such a bad shape as it seems; not totally ruined...
So, this residential area, has a working-class feel to it.
A student, previously in Cuss High, now fighting to be accepted at the best university in this country, Japan.
Aiming for the best university, yet, the student is very distracted by woman; and could miss out!
We won't be exploring the city; since Lisa, really wants us to go to the Ramen shop first.
A young girl, all fussed up about the Cuss High band, that was performing at the closed prison, for some time now.
Eikichi is somewhat popular...
This blue-collar man, doubts, that the Joker game grants any wish; and says there is nothing wrong for the kids to dream, since they can take care of their problems, once they grow up.
Have a six thousand Yen to spare, in the pocket...
Kameya Alley, let's enter thee!
There are so many destinations in the Alley; lots of places to go to, even the Velvet Room!
We'll be heading to the Shiraishi Ramen shop first!
The strawberry tanmen; someone had a hard time eating it, particularly, this smirky man with glasses...
The smirky man's name is Tadashi, he is a hopeless dreamer at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency; his desire for hot exploits, leads him to the Shiraishi Ramen shop, for a business meeting.
The young Tadashi, is a spoiled son of the man, who is the head of Satomi Tadashi.
The Ma'am at the Ramen shop counter, answers Tadashi, that although she was a spy in the past, she sells Ramen today, and has no weapons dealings at the shop.
The Ma'am gives her own question to Tadashi...
Why would she sell weapons?
Lisa and Eikichi got closer to Tadashi; to make the conversation more personal...
Tadashi says that the Chief and Tamaki, were conversing about a secret dish at the Shiraishi Ramen shop; the secret dish is supposedly the link, to getting the weapons deal.
Now Tadashi acts so obvious; tries to order another dish, something disgusting for his taste, like a red bean gyoza...
The secret dish, is supposedly be close to uneatable; that is the information, that Tadashi has obtained, and he speaks openly about it.
Let's see, if we can gather information past Tadashi.
Tadashi will probably not get his weapons deal today, we on the other hand, really need them; hard to fight the Joker and his minions unarmed...
And the team...
Huh, Eikichi got a sore look on his face, saying that Ma'am teasing her customers, when she is bored...
Eikichi has familiarised himself with the Ramen shop, since childhood; and adds: there is no way to buy weapons at the Shiraishi Ramen shop.
The password to buy weapons; Lisa thinks that the Chief might know something about the secret dish; further investigation is needed though...
Ma'am is getting tired of these questions about weapons; mentions, that she was the third wife of the Arabian oil tycoon; no point in asking about weapons here, without the proper password!
The young detective gives a flyer, and says we can visit their office at Kameya Alley, if we need to solve a case.
The Ordinary man at the Ramen shop, laughs, on how well Ma'am deceives us with her stories!
A Bodyguard, an Ordinary man; it's a complete joke to him...
Washout student is being surprised, on the kinda foods the people at the Shiraishi Ramen shop can eat.
It's quite understandable, that we need to speak with the Chief; there is no clues at the Ramen shop itself.
The Detective Agency, might give us a starting lead.
At the Agency, the cat statue greets: Welcome, meow; a hearty welcome...
Eikichi is stunned by the cat's sudden greeting!
A woman came running from the other room; welcomed us, and then asked if we need help!
Yeah, we would appreciate the help...
Introducing Tamaki, she works part-time at the Detective Agency, while attending the college for women; she can also summon Devils, and her close relationship with Tadashi, remains a mystery.
Lisa asks, if we can have a word with the Chief detective.
Can we?
The rumors about the weapon trade...
All rumors, were aimed at Tadashi, to tease him...
Now, where can the weapons be obtained then?
Tadashi's big mouth spread the rumors like wildfire!
The news doesn't come as a surprise for Eikichi; he knew the Ramen shop owner for a long time.
The Joker did exist, then, before the rumors; Eikichi implies.
Tamaki and the Chief looked at each other, then Tamaki asks curiously...
Can we go into more detail about the Joker?
The Agency is investigating the Joker; of course they do, too many people talking about it!
An old chubby man with a mustache, is the Chief.
As the Chief hears more about the Joker game, and our experience with it, he then points out that the Joker game rumors, may indeed be true.
We may address the Chief, as Chief Todoroki!
Chief Todoroki just recently became a brilliant detective; he studies Devil Summoning, as a side-work.
Now Chief Todoroki is reasoning, if they should spread the secret dish rumor.
Lisa is quite energised; that we can spread rumors, which would benefit our cause!
Chief Todoroki would see to it, that the secret dish rumor is spread; and he'll do it for free too, although an official request application, should be filled by us first.
Okay, will file the request...
The statue pleads for 100 Yen; a lucky cat statue...
Put 100 Yen, and the statue said thanks afterwards, meow!
There is a door, at the back of the office; when tried to open it, the cat statue replied: that this door doesn't open, and no point in trying either.
Kuzunoha Detective Agency does have a Television, and two Computers...
Lisa is excited about spreading the secret dish rumor.
Eikichi thinks, that rumor spreading isn't necessary, instead, should go straight after the guy responsible, thus the Joker!
"Talk to the Chief" sends us to the Chief; Tamaki's job...
Unless the rumors can be proven otherwise, then they can come true.
Demons can spread rumors too, just a thought of it...
Rumor about an ex-spy, the Shiraishi Ramen shop's Ma'am; and that she really sells weapons!
Real weapons; hm, would be hard to keep 'em!
It is filed, the rumor that is!
Cool, the banana char siu ramen, will presumably allow us to buy weapons!
Off to the Ramen shop, to the rumors, that turn into reality; for real?!
Tamaki advises us, that the rumored secret dish name, isn't for Tadashi's ears.
Ordering...
Eikichi lost the draw, thus he will order one banana char siu ramen...
It's like an explosion went off in Ma'am's mind, as she heard the dish's name!
So we can get weapons now...
Eikichi will receive the weapons without a fee, as a farewell gift from Ma'am.
Ahem; Eikichi and Ma'am did know each other, for a really long time...
Ma'am hands Eikichi the Standard Case, for the music instrument not anymore, as this Case is a weapon now; Misericorde sword for the Mister Cool leader; and the blond girl Lisa, will be off with Leather Gloves.
The rules state, that Eikichi has to eat the dish he had ordered; or the weapons deal, hadn't happened, and there would be no more weapons to buy then!
The secret dish was barely eatable; nice eating Eikichi!
Kozy enters the Ramen shop, and wastes no time to announce, that there is a witness, who saw Principal Hanya with the masked figure!
Haime is a witness; will it relate to Joker, Principal's secrets...
With all do haste, we may return to Sevens, our school!
Kozy will keep looking further into the rumors, about the Joker...
Fire, Earth, and Water skills, combined these skills produce a Fusion Spell, Hydro Boost!
Eikichi's Rhadamanthus Persona, doesn't have any weaknesses; and its Trait is Gloomy.
We won't be equipping any additional equipment at the moment; that's fine, can run straight to the school then!
A few medicines, and antidotes at hand; good.
Plenty of Cards will be acquired in the future, for us to grow stronger...
Leader has a Fire skill, and a Persona with the Sun Arcana; Lisa has the Earth skill Magna, and a Persona with the Lovers Arcana; and Eikichi has the Water skill Aqua, and his Persona's Arcana, is Death.
Blue-collar man did hear the rumor too, about the spy, and the weapons deals, for those who will order the banana char siu ramen; and he thinks it's funny.
Should we be wearing armor, to better protect ourselves?
If the meeting would be dangerous...

Persona 2: Innocent Sin 01

Thuggish students, making a fuss about nothing; can't ride home, without dealing with 'em first...
Weakness, something's wrong, even the thugs are concerned!
The principal came, looks displeased.
Two thugs left; now, got the principal's attention.
Principal Hanya really wants his demands, to be met, or...
Nickname: Ni-chan, sounds about right, continue...
Hm, rumors; tell me!
This Principal, Hanya, laughs too much.
Miss Saeko, looking for Ni, now to look for her.
Oh well; riding the motorbike, should wait.
Being a little popular, good; and miss Saeko, is on the second floor.
Seeing a second student, with bandages wrapped around the face.
And a third, and a fourth with bandages; preparing to see lots more of those.
A Joker Game, rumors of dreams come true; a rumor, huh?
Nearly ten bandaged students, very curious, to what happened.
Some students are looking for the Cuss High emblem, it supposedly, wards off evil; that's positive.
Some talk, regarding Lisa and Ni-chan's relationship, till we meet then.
Ms. Saeko, went up, to the third floor, that's where will be going, after checking more classrooms.
A very good female sprinter, has left the school, and left her shoes, and some female students are anxiously waiting, for her to come back...
Cuss High, is short for Kasugayama High; a rival school?
So, Ni-chan's classroom, is on the third floor, will be using it often.
That's so many digits, this student, tries too hard...
The student, tried to recite pi to 100000 digits, tried so hard, so, so, painful...
The talking Mask, at Principal's Office; either he's crazy, or knows something interesting.
Rejected this Yoko girl, in the past, and hanging out with Lisa!
Good looking, good fighter, wow!
Did miss Saeko go to the courtyard, is this the next place to go?
Nothing scares Ni-chan, partially true!
Are students bandaged because of the disease, surely, all points to this, and how one gets it anyway?
The school's Clock Tower, is locked!
Narurato stone, with a legendary demon Narurato Hotefu sealed inside, and located in the courtyard, for everyone to stare at.
Ms. Ideal, is constantly checking the stone, for any anomalies, and the stone has strong magnetic fluctuations; could be worse.
And miss Saeko, weren't at the courtyard; looked all over for her too, it seems, we can't catch each other.
Would be nice to bump into miss Saeko at some point, to end this search!
Miss Saeko went to the bike racks, the place from where started searching for her.
Saeko Takami - our classroom's teacher, quite frankly, she individually caters to each student.
Follow dreams, to make it happen, the dream, the future, and life...
A blond girl appeared!
It's Lisa...
Again with the curses, the school's emblem is just fine.
A Challenge Letter!
Kasugayama High's Boss, Michel Eikichi, is holding a hostage, demands that Ni-chan, comes to Sumaru Prison, alone; should we act alone on this matter, to go there alone, hm.
Lisa insists on going too, at the very least, to show the way to Sumaru Prison.
They definitely holding a hostage, she is very attached to food, which was given to her, so much food...
Eikichi Mishina, nicknamed Michel, thought the girl, is one of his fans, cause he is a vocalist in his band; he starts thinking otherwise!
What?!
Eikichi's gang, planned the letter, and the meeting, without his consent; and he's really, really mad!
Michel attempting to flirt his way to Lisa, saying he's such a genius artist, spreading love; oh, whatever...
One word from Lisa, and Eikichi's furious!
Eikichi wants Ni-chan to join his band; so, they really are low on members, what a bummer.
Eikichi got even more furious, and with his fury summoned Rhadamanthus, to call upon judgement!
Lisa got hit; after, Eros was summoned, love and arrows!
Summoning Vulcanus; a help that's desperately needed right now!
Vulcanus came, from Ni-chan's burning soul, and now Eikichi, we're even!
All three users are down.
Philemon, a man with a mask; and we're in a strange place, looking at him; and he's standing on a butterfly symbol, from which the light emits and swirls.
Philemon explained to us, that earlier, we summoned what is called, a Persona!
Persona - is a power of thyself withing individual, that is represented by a god, or a demon.
Love, or Cruelty, huh?
Our different masks, our Persona...
Is Philemon saying, that we have different masks?
Will face an unknown entity, with our very lives at stake!
Everyone's waking up, slowly...
Is the meeting, related to the Joker game; some student said the Joker was wearing a Mask; just like Philemon, cause Philemon did, wear a mask!
Lisa and Eikichi's gang, begun playing the Joker game...
Holding hands, calling for...
Four Jokers have appeared, facing their callers.
Joker grants dreams; too good, to be true, is it?
The Joker, showed a skull, and with it, sucked the life away, from Eikichi's gang...
Joker summoned demons!
Also, Joker turns to shadows those, who have impossible dreams.
Demons attacked us...
Does Joker has a Persona, even a Fusion Spell, didn't work against him?!
Can we do anything?!
This is pain, Joker all over us, aw!
For some reason, Joker doesn't like Ni-chan's dreams...
Joker wanted us to know something, to remember something, and we don't!
Guess we'll live for today...
Joker left a flower to remember, said he wants Ni-chan to remember some sin, and if he doesn't, then demons will still eat us; apparently, that is, this Joker's dream.
Yeah, we should handle the Joker together, there is no other way, at least for now...
Kozy, who's been "kidnapped" earlier, has given us rumors.
And apparently, there is a Ramen shop, that sells weapons.
The Ramen shop is located in Kameya Alley; we need weapons, to fight demons.
Is the Sumaru Prison abandoned, seems that way...
