Persona 5 | Shadow Challenge - Blackmagebrad 『Read Description』
Was tagged in Michaela Laws’ Persona 5 Shadow Challenge,
The challenge is as such!
Do a short monologue as your "Shadow" Self, include description of what your Palace would be like, and tag 5 friends!
The general idea is to record yourself or an interaction with yourself with the Phantom Thieves speaking as the shadow version of you in the Persona 5 universe. A version of yourself that, of course, by some alternate reality or set of particular circumstances, has a twisted heart and even a palace of your own.
This mini-monologue or interaction with other characters can be funny, sad, dramatic, emotional, or whatever direction you think would suit your personality best.
In addition to the audio or video, also include a brief or detailed description of what YOUR Palace would be like if you had one (wherever possible).
You can post this on any social media you want to, be it facebook, twitter, youtube, tumblr, soundcould, or other social media outlets as long as its posted with the #P5ShadowChallenge.
Tag at least 5 friends you'd also like to see do the challenge! ;D
PEOPLE I'M TAGGING: Kelly Lefebvre, Meghan Nigrelli, William Wright, Charles Nguyen, Ryan Hoyle
MY PALACE:
The Knight’s Library-Castle
This gilded castle exists for all who ascribe to my ideals, but hardly for those vermin who question their savior’s judgment. Pitfalls, traps, and games of wit await you in each corridor, with shadows abound to slow your pace. For the sake of what is right in this world, sometimes violence is necessary. Any intruders who would dare to stand against my selfless endeavor to save the world must be made example of.
Transcript:
Welcome to my castle, intruders. If you expected insults or petty threats, I’m sorry to disappoint you: such rash actions are beneath a knight such as myself. This castle is built firmly upon years of study, of work, of learning: I know all that must be known to govern the world, after all. For that reason, I see that you may be of use to me.
This world is broken, corrupt, inexorably decayed. Wars, famine, and discrimination plague every country around the globe: the state of it is totally inexcusable. While democracy was a fine countermeasure to the tyranny of aristocracy and military, I have found it to be insufficient in solving the underlying cause of this sickness infecting our race: I speak, of course, of the past.
For the benefit of all mankind, we must abandon all borders, all cultural differences, and unite... Under my unerring leadership. True equality can only be won by first surrendering power to someone who has total benevolence, someone who has attained true enlightenment to know what is best for everyone. That someone is, UNQUESTIONABLY, MYSELF.
I am not an unreasonable man: indeed, I am far above fools pretentious enough to exclude the masses from their cause. I have long since transcended such idiocy. You may prove yourself worthy to help my cause: there are still many tasks beneath me that must be dealt with to make the world run. Lawyers, doctors, farmers, laborers, oh, I could NEVER make myself stoop to any of those positions—I simply have too much talent. I’d be more than happy to have you join me to occupy any such position. I guarantee you fine compensation, if you stand with me.
However, should you wish to challenge my beliefs… To take my treasure and undermine my righteousness.. I promise you that I will devote every ounce of myself to your absolute destruction.
Come: I have no time to dawdle. Whatever your intentions are, let us deal with this matter quickly.
