Continuing our Persona trek from Teknodwarf, it’s my turn to take control of the controller and keyboard.
We picked up right where we left off (funny how that happens after using a save point) and headed back into the real world, where, just like real Japanese high schoolers, we had to go to high school. It’s weird how this game can make going to school enjoyable. It was here we would begin to forge our friendship with Kenji, the teacher loving ramen connoisseur.

At first, Kenji appeared to be pursuing Yukari, better known as “the girl who’s pants we’re totally getting in by the end of this game.” Not wanting to draw TOO much attention to the fact that we're going to put the moves on Yukari, we tried not to let him know that there was definitely something going on. Once we were assured that this cougar chaser wasn’t competition for Yukari, he began to fill us in on his “master plan” to sweep one of the teachers (who’s name I can’t recall) off of her feet. Surprisingly, his plan went well. She asked him to come to her house for a private lesson (more like lesson on privates amirite?) and last we heard, he was doing fairly well. We’ll see if that holds up.

Our forays into Tartarus proved fruitful, and allowed us to progress in the game. Besides the passing of days, progress can be easily measured by how far into Tartarus we get. The highest floor we got to was the 11th, fighting a few bosses along the way. We haven’t died yet, which is nice. This can probably be easily attributed to the fact that we’re playing on easy mode. Nevertheless, our abilities have been sufficient enough to keep us from faltering.

We acquired two more Personas (of which I can’t recall the names. Japanese names are hard to remember.) and many stat boosts along the way. We’re now able to summon Personas up to level five! We also acquired a magic spell that fuses two personas together in order to heal the party for 50% of it's health as well as raise evasion.

Joining student council was something that was seemingly forced upon us, but we haven't done much there yet. We also haven't joined any other clubs or sports teams. Because we're cool like that.

We studied every night except for the night we were sick, so our academics skill has increased to Average. I don’t know about you, but I’d say the average student doesn’t study every single night. Nevertheless, we were assured in the beginning that people who pay attention and get good grades are cool. Since this didn’t work for either of us in real life, we’re determined to see it work in Japan, where everything is backwards.
After our last adventure into Tartarus, real life again fell between world domination and us. Using the same save point we used last time, we saved our progress and departed.
