Oh man. I can only imagine what Orion might find in there.... (and would very much look forward to finding out, too!)
I've had a great deal of fun playing through P4 and trying to pick it apart. The hows, the whys... I dumped a friend's char into the fog-world setting in a PSL (because I am a cruel and terrible great GM like that. My friends have a tendency to rely on me to provide setting and NPCs and plot and basically everything but their one character, hah... so... well, if I'm going to do all the work? Muahahaha.) and so I had to figure out the logic behind the item drops in dungeon runs and such, to translate that to RP, and how things worked that weren't explicitly explained in the game. And I like to think I've figured it out; I'm not sure if the Persona 4 devs actually had in mind the conclusions I've come to, but I'm pleased with my version of things, and the rules that I've come up with, by which I play with the fog world and some Shadows, Doll included.
Doll's kind of a mess to explain in detail, but the short of it is, it's like the stupid tiny cute Shadow, in a sense: someone believed that a certain Shadow was all sorts of sweet and friendly, but it was destroyed... and so they ended up accidentally recreating it from the loose Shadow-stuff remnants of its original ~Lv.50-ish-boss-fight-potential self, except with their ideas of it as the new basis for its personality.
Yep, that was fun. ♥
I like the idea of turning it into a Halloween event, actually! Seems like something that should be tossed up in the OOC comm for more discussion and getting everyone involved in plotting, especially since we've got some canon Persona characters about. They might have some fun ideas to add to this!
