[text] attention everyone shut the hell up

[nemophila]

I assume you have all educated yourselves on what Philemon's intentions and goals are for this city in his latest charade, or you would not be wasting your time humoring that ludicrous and insipid excuse for literature.

Now, what about Nyarlathotep? Have any of you figured out anything about his plans for this city, or are you more concerned with petty child's play?

My friend Michel told me about it; it allowed people to go to the tower, correct?
The Shining Trapezohedron was an artifact that was used in one of H.P. Lovecraft's stories in the Cthulhu Mythos, used by cultists to summon a being from another realm.
I don't have any personal experience with it, however.

I've never heard of anything called the "Dark Hour," but we did have experience with Shadows. We had to fight ours in the battle against Nyarlathotep in our home city.

[Wait who's Michel? She tries to remember someone with that nam---wait it was that weird blue-haired guy right? Those two are friends? They seem so different. And yet, who was she to judge.]

Fought yours...we never had to do that. Nor did we have to deal with Nyarlathotep or Philemon before either. Shadows were entities gathered during the Dark Hour...it was a time between midnight and its first minute when time would stand still for an hour. Everyone transmogrified into coffins apart from persona users and a few others we had to rescue...

...long story short, the Shadows were trying to fuse again together to awaken Nyx and bring about The Fall.

[It's OK Miki, basically no one knew why they were friends.]

Nyx-- the Greek goddess of the Night? Somehow I don't think that's entirely apt.

It seems that what you call a Shadow and what we call a Shadow are very different. The Shadows we knew were-- in effect, you could call them evil dopplegangers. They reflected our dark sides, the parts that we wanted to ignore. They weren't very common. And I've never heard of any of this transmogrification nonsense.

I suppose it's not too much of a leap to assume "The Fall" is some sort of apocalypse however. But that's a common tune to every story nowadays, it seems.
