Story Arcs

This page will serve as a comprehensive summary of the roleplay's story arcs, as well as a comprehensive timeline of the events thus far.

## Before the RP

### **Construction of the Hotel**

* For unknown reasons, a mysterious group of "managers" begin construction on a Multiversal Hotel - adequately named "Paradise Hotel".
* Two of these managers were later confirmed to be Galaax and Zeno.
* During construction of Paradise Hotel, The Shareholders come into contact with the Managers.
* The Demi-Fiend infiltrates the hotel mid construction, and goes into hiding in an unknown part of the realm.

## Primary Arcs

### **Galaax Arc**

* The Managers begin pulling in random people from across The Multiverse.
* Galaax, having his ego boosted by the amount of power he now has, goes into chat to boast about how powerful he is over the main survivors.
* Eventually, Galaax opens his own area and taunts the players with his presence, telling them to fight him in combat.
* Shadow the Hedgehog takes him up on the offer in order to get some answers, but eventually decides it's a waste of time.
* Infuriated, Galaax later warps Shadow backs to his arena and threatens the lives of others. Put off by this, Shadow finally fights Galaax, and puts an end to his tyranny in the process.

### **Zeno Arc**

* Zeno (going by simply "Z") contacts several groups that have formed within the Hotel - claiming to be a mole within the Managers and a supporter of their respective causes. These groups include the MPF and the Shadow Operatives.
* In a conversation with Jason Todd after constructing the MPF Base, Z reveals his name as Zeno to the public for the first time.

### **The Shareholders Arc**

* An apparent mercenary by the name of Blackjack seeks out and hires a group to investigate and take down an apparent cult on an offshore island, promising them apparent riches that lie within it. This group includes Negan, Painwheel, Venom, Akari Kirishi, Kassandra, Ezekiel, and Doctor Starline. As the group ventures to the island, they soon find the cult within an abandoned cathedral, led by a man named Frollo. After a short fight, they manage to overpower and kill Frollo, before venturing deeper into the cathedral. It's here that they find an abandoned mine as well as a cart full of diamonds - but they're intercepted by Roman Torchwick before they can take them.
* Some time later at the Masquerade Ball, The Shareholders' leader Toffee attends. It's here that he meets Tohru Adachi, and after a short conversation, sparks the latter's interest in investigating him - and by extension, The Shareholders themselves.
* Later that night, Toffee has a meeting with his fellow members G-Man and the intrusive Bill Cipher while asleep. There, they discuss potentially bringing Adachi on board with the rest of them.

## Secondary Arcs

### **MPF Arc**

* After being kidnapped by Alastor in a previous roleplay, several of the MPF's members wake up at the Hotel. These members include Jason Todd, Kassandra, Ciri, Medic, and others.
* Soon after waking up, they're forced to deal with a bomb threat made by Wolf O'Donnell. There, they encounter the newly-arrived Twelfth Doctor, who begins observing them from afar after this incident.
* Some time later, Zeno contacts Jason under the alias "Z", offering to build them a base and aid them in other areas.
* Around this time, Jason encounters Bruce Wayne and invites him into the group as well.
* The Ball starts, and Jason plants Bat-Boxes around it so they can have a private server. It's here that they encounter another version of Alastor and attempt to fight him, but ultimately lose the fight and he escapes.
* Peter Parker, who Jason briefly encountered at The Ball, reveals that he took one of Jason's Bat-Boxes and hacked into it to gain access to their server. Impressed, Jason extends an invite for him to join the MPF.
* Around this time, Tony Stark and Megumin join as well.
* Tony Stark informs them of Thanos, who is also on the island. Jason, Kassandra, and a few others agree to help Tony kill him when the time comes.
* Z (now known as Zeno) finished work on the MPF's Base, and Tony, Bruce, Jason, and Double Trouble head over to check the place out.

### **The Time Brigade**

##### The Island of Distorted Time

* The Twelfth Doctor detects a temporal anomaly inside the hotel. Firing up the TARDIS, he locks onto the signal and investigates.
* Materializing around the anomaly, The Doctor discovers its source: Audric, a man who exists beyond time. After a brief moment of tension, The Doctor convinces Audric he is an ally and invites him to join the Time Brigade. Audric accepts and The Doctor prepares to fly the TARDIS back to its resting spot.
* The TARDIS is suddenly thrown off course by strong turbulence, and The Doctor and Audric are barely able to get the TARDIS back on track and prevent it from spinning out into The Void.
* The Doctor detects the source of the turbulence: A much more unstable anomaly, and a far larger one. Steering the TARDIS back on its course, he notified the other members of the Time Brigade and locked onto the anomaly's coordinates.
* The Time Brigade arrive on The Island of Distorted Time. There, they encounter an unfamiliar ally, Sakuya Izayoi, and discover Hat Kid's ship crashed in the center of the island. The ship is surrounded by many portals, through which monsters from the multiverse are pouring through and wreaking havoc with the ship's scattered Time Pieces—while a giant form is attempting to push its way through the portals.
* The Doctor comes up with a plan to jump-start Hat Kid's ship with energy from the TARDIS, and makes his way across the battlefield with her. Meanwhile, Audric, Sakuya and Roselyn work to gather the Time Pieces and return them to the ship.
* Discovering Hat Kid's ship is irreparably damaged, the idea to jumpstart it is abandoned and the group instead resolves to turn its damage back using the Time Pieces. The Doctor lands the TARDIS in the middle of the battle to repel the enemies, and combines the power of his Sonic Screwdriver and the Sonic Shades he had lent Audric to generate an ear-splitting sound, stunning their enemies.
* The stun is successful, but the giant form emerges and reveals itself as the Primitive Cyberdemon. While Roselyn and Audric gather the Time Pieces, The Doctor and Sakuya set off to lead the Cyberdemon away from the fight and use the TARDIS to ram it back into the portal it came from.
* The Doctor and Sakuya succeed, while Roselyn and Audric negotiate with, and subsequently pacify, the knight holding the last Time Piece by returning to him a lost sword. With all Time Pieces in tow, the Time Brigade—accompanied by the knight—return to Hat Kid's ship in the TARDIS to restore it to full working capacity.

### **Ideal and the Real**

* Takuto Maruki emerges in the Hotel, cognizant of the fact that the Metaverse has returned and his Persona is once again usable. Maruki immediately makes his intentions clear toward the Phantom Thieves, requesting a meeting with Goro Akechi.
* The two meet on the Hotel's rooftop and engage in a heated debate over the philosophy of their actions that ends in an impasse - Maruki attacks Akechi, and the two begin a heated and bloody battle, with Maruki's Persona reawakening into its ultimate form, Adam Kadmon, in the process. Despite his newfound power, Akechi is able to force Maruki to retreat.
* Maruki, unbeknownst to the Phantom Thieves, attends the Masquerade Ball in an attempt to harden himself toward enduring the discomfort of remaining in a large crowd for a long period of time. He also uses the opportunity to document the desires of as many residents as he is able.
* Maruki, by happenstance, meets with Ann Takamaki by the lakeside. The two chat, clearly harbouring no ill will between them beyond the mandatory, and reminisce over their shared experiences. Maruki soon reveals how he was able to reverse his own change of heart, informing Ann that his lover, Rumi, the reason that his Palace formed in the first place, took her own life after Maruki's actualization was reversed. Once again at an impasse, the two sorrowfully part ways, Maruki begging Ann to reconsider fighting back.
* Mementos resurfaces in the Hotel.
* Maruki hijacks Mementos using his position as its master, and begins to enact his plan for reality - manipulating the cognitions of the masses so that their deepest desires become reality. He announces his plan in the public chatroom, aware that the Phantom Thieves are likely to come for him.
* Maruki battles Goro Akechi, Ann Takamaki, Futaba Sakura and Yu Narukami within the Garden of Sorrow, and is defeated.
