Instructions for summoning Braphine:

Required:
1. Go to Braphine's temple
2. Enter the sanctuary area
3. Offer physical proof of friendship
4: Ask Braphine directly for her presence

Note: Braphine has asked for at least one week before she is summoned again.

Recommended:

• Those who are a part of the "proof" offered may need to be in attendance to validate it.
• Try to perform this summoning when there is no one in attendance who are unaware of Persona/Nekyia
• Do not yell or provoke her to be summoned. While seemingly effective, she'll be angry.
• Be cordial when speaking with her. She has the personality of a spirited young woman, if that helps.
• Have something to ask or discuss with her. She likes being helpful, but her answers can be rather forthright.

Summary of answers provided by Braphine:

• The god of Conflict is dissatisfied with the state of peacefulness here and has decided to intervene
• This particular city is seat of Braphine's power, which is why he's starting here
• Jordi would have lived had the God of Conflict not intervened like he did
• The areas that are showing up are called "Palaces", it would then seem appropriate to call the person from which the structure originates as the "Ruler"
• The form and characteristics of a Persona are based on the nature and personality of the user
• Braphine cannot be here 24/7 overseeing everything, because she has to maintain connections and bonds across the entire world
• Time is stopped for the people she chose to bring here in their own world.
• The moment from where one originates prior to being summoned is paused in time as such. No time will have passed when one is returned.

Also: An unfortunate incident has occurred during our meeting with Braphine in an effort to help someone who may have been under the negative influence of the God of Conflict. To summarize, Argenti has gone missing.

That is all.

[emptyself]

Argenti's gone missing?! Shouldn't we look for him?

[idealitas]

We should, but he vanished right in front of us. Naught was left but a mark like soot upon the ground where he stood.

[emptyself]

Wait.

You mean she set him on fire?

[metagame]

The human body can't burn that fast.

[emptyself]

Normally an animal corpse can’t burn that fast.

But she’s a goddess isn’t she? She can probably do that if she wants.

[ what the fuck. ]

[metagame]

Divine retribution?

[this is a normal conversation]

No... that doesn't seem like her M.O. She's the Goddess of Bonds, right? It'd be hard to make friends with a dead man.

[emptyself]

Is it a sin to not side with her?

Yi Sang said she has a temper. So if she does it maybe it’s because she’s not thinking it through. I know a person like that.

[ a person that would turn soujuurou into swiss cheese if she found out what he was saying about her. ]

[metagame]

What if he didn't choose?

[idealitas]

No. He didn't want to meet with her, actually. His manner of refusal was rather unlike him.

[ Didn't want to NTR Idrila I guess. ]

[emptyself]

That does sound weird of him. Could it be because of that influence that you’re talking about?

[idealitas]

That would be the most likely of reasons.

Braphine was willing to see if this was the case to confirm if it was so. However...

[emptyself]

If a squirrel knows it's about to be caught by an owl, of course it's going to hide away.

I wonder if we'll have to fight him...

[bloodweapon]

[Fray does not like the app. He is pretty much never on here (though he definitely lurks). But here we are anyway.]

Tell us what happened, exactly. Is his disappearance the goddess's doing?

[idealitas]

I'll leave the others to explain the detail, as they were the ones who wished to bring him to her for her guidance.

I will clarify that this was likely the Conflict God's doing, at least. Not the Goddess.

[bloodweapon]

Noted. And I take it no one else has seen any trace of Argenti since his sudden disappearance?

[idealitas]

He is hard to miss.

If he is found, we unfortunately need to deal with his unusual behavior ourselves until next week.

[bloodweapon]

What sort of unusual behavior was he displaying?

[imperiosity]

[okay okay, now that he’s had a bit of enjoy the peace and quiet of an argentiless room, he’ll pitch in at some point.]

if it’s anything like the others, Sir Sparkles should be somewhere in Nekyia. might be a bit of a long shot, but it might be worth setting up a search party there

[finalmix]

oh, no wonder he decided to leave me on read.

[emptyself]

Yeah, going missing means that he left all of us.

[idealitas]

Had he been acting or sounding unusual before such?

I do not know how he communicates with text.

[finalmix]

he walked out on me when I was talking to him, which I thought was a little rude

[ josh you were rude first but no one needs to know that ]

[idealitas]

What was the topic about?

[finalmix]

may have implied that there were agents of the god of conflict among us and he didn't seem to like the idea very much

[idealitas]

I see. While I understand that it would upset him normally to hear that, but we cannot rule out he was under that influence at the time.
