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.

Wait.

You mean she set him on fire?

The human body can't burn that fast.

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. ]

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.

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. ]

What if he didn't choose?

Do you mean, forced to work with the God of Conflict?

It stands to reason Braphine isn't the only god that can influence our behavior.

If he wasn't acting like himself...

Huh, he got offended when I asked him if he thought there were traitors among us.

When did that occur?

eh, couple of days ago i guess?

at the meeting after the funeral

You know

Yoon was also acting kind of weird some time after the funeral.

Oh?

Could you describe how he was acting? If the pattern of behavior matches Argenti's...

Yoon?

When Argenti's behavior was brought up, she was quick to know it was the God of Conflict's influence, and that he should be brought to her.

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. ]

Edited 2024-09-10 01:03 (UTC)

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

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...

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...

It was a well-meaning effort by said owls.

[ Owls are also... Not the brightest, actually. Good at hunting, but not much else? ]

That's what I'm most concerned about, given his prior actions.

Edited 2024-09-10 01:55 (UTC)

I'm so tired of fighting others. If only we could convince the God of Conflict to use less aggressive methods.

While I wish for that as well, I believe that goes against this particular god's raison d'être.

A god's what?

Their "reason to be" or justification for existence. It is a phrase I learned from a comrade.
