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.

I heard from the little priestess that people have been falling into comas. Seems like the goddess is claiming that it happens if the god of conflict severs her connection to one of us. Pretty convenient for him, if so.

[unweathered]

Very convenient. The rabbit girl must be helping with moving the bodies. You had a roommate didn't you?

[bloodandstars]

Not that I ever noticed. They might've just made a break for it at the sight of me. But we've definitely lost more than one or two.

[unweathered]

Both my go-kart teammates disappeared. The first one never showed, and the second disappeared shortly after the chaos erupted. Those are the only ones I can account for.

[bloodandstars]

The priestess mentioned Hiiro and Kururu. So if it's them, you've got your answer. Otherwise... well, she gave me the list. Unless we've got a few more busy killers on our hands, it's a lot of comas.

[unweathered]

Kururu was one of them. Hiiro...hm. So they're in comas...but they're not back in their own worlds. I wonder why.

[bloodandstars]

Generously? She needs whatever that connection is to send them back. Worldwalkers work like that where I'm from. Something about anchors.

Less generously? It wouldn't be worth the energy if they're not serving a purpose. And if they do wake up, saves the energy of bringing them back again.

[unweathered]

If she has the power to pluck people out of their world in the grasp of death, then she has the power to send them back safe and sound.
It must be the latter.

[bloodandstars]

Probably. If I know one thing about gods? It's that they don't see a point in flexing their power if there's no one to be awed by it.

[unweathered]

That sounds about right.
