Dealing with the Shadow of Death?
So for this event I checked with the mods and they said the Shadow of Death, since it's still technically with Minami, can go haywire. Add in that at -3 to orange Minami is going to be very out of it mentally, she's not going to be able to control the thing at all.
For those who don't know the Shadow of Death in persona is a being meant to call Nyx to Earth so that Nyx can bring about the end of humanity. Death is inevitable and sees this as what humanity desires in the end, despite people arguing with it. In canon, the Shadow winds up leaving Minato and takes the form of a very flirty young man who believes himself to be human. Insert the usual spiel of what it means to be human or a monster and the inevitability of death for the rest of the game.
In Persona 3's AU1--AKA StregaVerse--Minami had only a piece of said shadow put in her, the other piece going to AU!'s Minato--henceforth referred to as Streganato for clarification from canon!Minato--though she got the larger piece. This was done because Minami was close to dying in the car accident and the person who put the shadow in her was trying to save her life. Despite this, Minami still almost died in the hospital, her injuries were that bad.
Since this is an AU and we haven't been able to decide what happens after the point the Stregaverse characters have been brought in, C and I decided to go "screw it! We'll do what we want for the sake of fun!" So instead of the Shadow of Death becoming a boy it's still with Minami at this point. Her piece, at least. And it is going to go haywire and rampage with a very out of it Minami in tow. It will look very much like her crapload of Persona are going nuts, but once the shadow is killed--or weakened enough--Minami is going to die. And not be revived until the 16th. Streganato's piece can potentially calm it down due to hers being incomplete, Minato's could potentially calm it due to being another full version of the Shadow, and Minami is going to be a headcase after this.
What I need from people is 1). Who would be interested in combating the shadow or interacting with Minami/the shadow during this? I'm currently leaning towards having Streganato take her out, but I would vastly prefer to see the inevitable log develop organically during the week. He and Canon!Minato (and hopefully some of the P4 cast?) will be able to play a role in this, but I'd like others in on it as well.
2). Any ideas on how to better implement this? My current idea is basically an amorphous shadow surrounding Minami and forcing her to fight that steadily takes a more concrete form, but I'm open to suggestions.
3). Anyone want to rack up their death count in a brutal way?

But he can manage it. What I'm thinking here, though, is that on Minami's end it'll be a gradual slip and at first it'll manifest itself using Minami's energy to wander about as Pharos (creepy ghostchild with no collar etc.) if people want that? It was a suggestion I did throw out there so I'll toss it here now.
Minato could kill her if he had to, though. : |a But I do think if it got to a massive boss battle he'd try to protect her at first unless it became such a huge threat to EVERYONE (hint: it probably will) that he had no choice.

I'd like Minami and Streganato to finish that awkward thread we have going, but my tagging drive sucks right now. I don't know what else we could do before things start hitting the fan?

So potentially, his Death may end up reacting to Minami. Assuming it's not going out of control beforehand.

because shit man there can be only ONEto deal with it. Maybe a repeat of Thanatos' appearance from Orpheus, but (somewhat) less painful and from a different Persona? :|ano subject

Hey, is it okay if I hit up your clonicide post a couple times to figure out the best way to pull off the shadow going out of control? We'd get CR and it'd help me out big time.

Also Suzaku would help fight the shadow, since he knows both Minato's and sisters are important.
Just ideas though!

And Romeo can do something stupid if he likes. Minami will hate herself once she realized what happened, but that's kind of the point. |D
no subject
Make all the young girls hate themselves sob. But yeah if you're up for that I'll send Romeo at her and shadow when things are building up to be bad
