Well it isn't. I apologize that I wasn't clear on it. Point being the following: You ARE NOT fighting the former heroes. They have no interaction in the new area because they are up during the day. You will be receiving your persona in the new area by fighting YOUR OTHER SELF. The other crew in no way shape or form will be interacting with this area until they get more evidence. Other people, normal, who wander into the new area are probably going to die if they haven't already if they haven't awoken a persona if they even can. Once the fight with your other side is over with THEN you will receive your persona. For all intents and reasons Akira, Tomomi, and Will will be the ones fighting not you because no one can fight a shadow properly without a persona or some weapon specifically meant to handle them.
Mic drop conversation over moving onto the actual IC happenings.
@Lasrever @akirashadow Just post when you can and to make things absolutely clear Michael is in ALL three rooms at the same time but none of us are in the same exact room. There are multiple Michaels talking to separate characters.
