Daniel was unsure but he probably shouldn't pry and further into it, after all, they were only taking him at his word and plus, he had not revealled hsi Servant at all so it was more witha grain of salt if anything, he decided to let it go until they coudl trust him more, after all, the group kind of owed him a debt for buying this apartment for them to live in as well as saving their lives in the Metaverse and owing somebody that much usually doesn't sit well with people, well not unless the circumstances were extreme like with Medic.
Daniel did note Mash's Class was unusual, she was apparently a Shielder, that was an entirely new one on him, he knew about the the usual Seven, not a Shielder for that matter, but he probably shouldn't delve into that business if they were untrusting of him. "So, what have you and the others been doing as of late?" Daniel asked her.

"We've been doing well." Mash said, looking at him. "Master found a decent job to keep us afloat and everyone is working hard to keep the payment up. Also, everyone is doing what they can to blend in and not stick out." She sipped her tea and breathed. She looked at him and asked, "Anything new with you?"
--
Stepping into her room after Ignis came back and gave them a good meal, Chelsea laid on her bed and fell asleep, ending up in the Velvet Room. She listened as he celebrated her on another successful heist and devoting herself to the rehabilitation. He told her that aside from the other guest, there was another user who had powers similar to hers, saying that at some point, she would encounter him. Then he gave her a new gift as their conversation ended

Daniel nodded as Mash asked him if there was anything new, most likely any new infomation on a way back home. "Unfortnately not yet, myself with some others are not sure how long our stay will be until we are called back or feel we finished our role here, there hasn't been any simialr incidents in the place I found you all either, I do not doubt you and the Servants are capable of managing on your own in there but it's better safe than sorry." Daniel said truthfully.
"After all, not even we are sure what happens if someone remains in that world after it's crumbling, it's like you are lost somewhere forever." Dnaiel said and sipped his tea. "Of course, if you or the others are having any trouble, don't hesitate to call for me Dnaiel said, finishing his drink. "I better go, I apologize again for interupting your shower." Daniel said, bowing his head and let Mash see him out.

So while they waited for Kaneshiro to confess, Makoto asked everyone to lay low and act normal, living ordinary lives and not looking suspicious while out in public. Chelsea spent more time with Ryuji, helping him with his feelings about causing the track team to disband after what happened with Kamoshida and helping his old teammates start a new track team, though cause of his condition, Ryuji didn't join it himself. She also spent time with Yusuke, helping him get over a slump he was having and create a art piece that would reignite the spark of inspiration in his heart to make art again. Chelsea took everyone to Mementos for training and helped with Yuuki's Social Link.
Chelsea surprised everyone by part-work at Iwai's shop, which helped her with his Social Link, learning that he had a adoptive son and he had troubles telling his son about his own past and raising him. When she had free-time, Chelsea went to Toranosuke and spent time with him, learning of his political past and how he was trying to get back into office, Chelsea went and spent time with Sojiro, learning how to make curry and coffee and he was being accused of abusing someone. Through her Link with Yusuke, Chelsea got Daniel to meet a friend of Yusuke's, Hifumi Togo, who had the Arcana of the Star. Makoto was under the High Priestess and he met a fortune teller in Shinjuku, Chihaya, who appropriately was the Fortune. During that time, Kaneshiro confessed to his sins and was arrested.
Those of the Thieves in school, Chelsea, Daniel, Makoto, Yusuke, Ryuji, and Ann studied for school finals at Leblanc, which was provided by Sojiro with his permission. While they were studying, they watched about Akechi and his thoughts on the recent heist, thinking that while they did some injustice, they were still criminals. Chelsea sighed, 'There's that unsettling feeling again.' And everyone decided to go to a fireworks festival as celebration. So everyone got through the final and were able to attend the festival, which had Daniel see Elsa, Anna, Chelsea, Ann, Hermione, and Makoto in yukatas and was suddenly rained out. Chelsea did see a certain girl in a pink yukata and Makoto thought she knew her.
--
While in class, Chelsea thought about the group everyone was talking about on the Phan-Site, Medjed, who claimed the Thieves speak of false justice. Suddenly, feeling her phone buzzing, Chelsea looked and found a lot of messages from a unknown sender:
'Nice to meet you' 'I am the one they call Alibaba.' 'I want to ask you something.' 'You're a Phantom Thief, aren't you?' 'Can you really steal hearts?'
Chelsea and Morgana were startled that whoever it was knew that she was a Phantom Thief, so she kept quiet and looked at the rest of the messages that were sent by 'Alibaba'.
'There is someone whose heart I would like you to steal.' 'But I'm not doing it for charity. Let's make a deal.' 'You wish to know about Medjed, correct?' 'I can give you information on them if the change of heart is successful.' 'If you so desire, I can take care of them as well.' 'Do you believe in my skills?' 'I can track down their accounts, just as I have with yours.' 'But this is all I can provide at the moment.' 'I've prepared the necessary tool on my end.' 'Look forward to it.'
Chelsea tried to response but only got a error message and thought, 'I need to show this to the others.'

Daniel was surprised at some of the new links, however, he did smeel a scam from the Chihaya considering the amount of money being used, Hifumi was an oddball with her shogi declarations, granted he never played the game before but it did invovle strategy if he recalled and was quite a mind game, Makoto, wlel eh had to get her to open up more and Kawakami woudl be called in some days, her exhaustion being noted and he didn't make ehr do alot but he amde sure ti done in secret when nobody was home, of course, being her teacher self, astudent paying for her services a bit not what oen would think but it helped her somewhat, apparently she was being extorted by a dead student's parents guilt trippign her, he did catch her at hospital from exhaustion and saw the scandalling buggers, demanding more money.
"Damn.. what greedy parents..." Daniel thought, they were runnign Kawakami literally into the ground, especially after she found the strength to stop working and take a stand after giving a lei about a sister as that's where the money was going, Kawakami even considered working in more... unsavory services to pay up, Dnaiel knew enough was enough and he gotten their names from her and he actually marched alone to Menmetoes to find the Shadows of those parents, he would never admit it otu loud but Kawakami's story adn history got to him and he hated to see her so exhausted and down, when the Shadow Parents came in, oh he tore into them with Amon withotu any restraints, suing more powerufl moves he gotten from other Personas and todl them to stop hiding behind their rgeed and own up they were basically blackmailign and guilting Kawakami, using the money from her to satsify themselves and even said they should give themselves up the police and pay back every cent that was unfairly taken from them.
Daniel leant bac on the rooftop where the abandoned desks were, letting otu a sigh of releif, Ann and him got along swimmingly as can be, in fact, Shiho had just visited teh school one last time to confirm if the person who told her to jump was still there, ti wasn't as SHiho's family made it certain Shiho would be transfered to another school entirely, especially in light of Kamoshida if that was anything more to go on, no doubt Shiho woudl still undergo regular theraphy and physical treatment to walk normally again on her own and more than likely watched mroe closely by family members so it doesn't happen again, the seperation fo the best two friends was an emotional one but they woudl remain friends as Ann promised to be the best model she can be.
Daniel browsed through his phone, hummign to himself, Kawakami did look happier though, he had a suspicion she might call him out on being a Phantom thief since he wa sthe only other person who knew the names and change of heart of the parents, he wasn't sure how much oof what eh said affected them but msot likely, Kawakami will tell him.

Mario, Luigi, and the others all came out of that lesson all clutching their heads. Luigi remarking with his eyes shut. "There were too many Kyutana, my brain hurts just trying to remember all of them." Peach was also rubbing her head. "Yeah, and too many functions that we would have to remember..." It was then that Rosalina brought out a notebook and looked at her friends. "This is why I took liberty of writing everything down so you all won't have to remember so much information." Mario shook his head and walked away. "I'm going to go get something to drink."
Meanwhile as that was going on Kenneth had basically been spending time and just speaking to Futaba about various and seemingly oddball things, but eventually he had to depart and get back to Shibuya.
Kai and Kira were in the Arcade standing in front of an old Ninja Baseball Batmen arcade cabinet before Kai leaned in and looked at it, her eyes widening and her mouth agape before Kira asked. "Kai, what are we looking at?" Kai blinked and turned her head towards the short raven-haired girl before she said. "Kira, this is an old arcade cabinet that I've only seen and emulated on my computer. Never before have I seen this upclose for myself." Kira looked it over with her blue gaze remarking. "It certainly seems like something, can we play it?" Kai looked down and smirked at Kira before rubbing her head and situated herself placing her box nearby the controls from her pocket. "Why the hell not, we've got nothing better else to do." Kira smirked and joined her brunette friend seemingly ready to take on the strange game.
~Shibuya~
After figuring out how the Keyblade Glider worked from Aqua, the brunette male proceeded to quickly return to the city atop the Ice Key before seemingly crashing somewhere having not entirely mastered the Gilder yet.

Getting all the Phantom Thieves together in the overpass, Chelsea told them about the texts that she had gotten and showed them as proof. Ryuji realized that this 'Alibaba' probably knew since he mentioned the 'stealing hearts'. Makoto agreed and assumed that their chat log might have traced when questioned how they could have been found out. Though she wondered how Alibaba could know that from just that. Hermione agreed that there must have been another cause for how he could have found out while there was a little bit of speculation of how the chat log could have been traced before Anna asked, "It doesn't explain why Chel's getting a error when she tries to response."
"Perhaps the receiving end doesn't exist?" Makoto reasoned, grumbling at Ryuji thinking that she had all the answers. Yusuke suggested that what happened must have hacking, which led everyone to think that 'Alibaba' was a hacker who was contacting them. After confirming that it wasn't Medjed, Ryuji wanted Alibaba on their side, Chelsea said, "We would if we knew he looked like and knew about the Metaverse." Makoto and Yusuke, not wanting to trust him if he was really a criminal and they knew nothing about him in general. But since he had a objective and didn't turn them into the police, everyone decided to wait til he contacted them again. Makoto suggested Leblanc where they could be together and hide for action.
Chelsea sighed and led them to the back alley cafe.

Daniel wondered who this ALibaba was. "Only thing I know if that Alibaba is a reference to Aladdin or soemthing like that, I'm nto that brushed up on history, if anything, Hermione's probably the one who knows more about books." Daniel said and wondered the reasons of why Chelsea couldn't contact Alibaba herself and teh error.
"Hmmm,I think Makoto's words ring true, this si technology so it could be our mysterious benefactor is a pro with technology so they coudl fo listened in conversations without us knowing since everyone doesn't pay attention, but the main question is, who does Alibaba want changed and they said they could handle Medjed easily... Something has to add up here." Daniel wondered.

Though surprising the old man with their large group, he agreed to let them come in due to the amount of beautiful girls and introduced himself to the other girls, telling them that most everyone called him 'Boss'. 'Interesting nickname.' Chelsea thought. He left the store to them and asked that they close up after they were done. Sitting at one of the booths, everyone had some snacks and listened to the news about Medjed. It seemed that they claimed to have won over the Phantom Thieves and asked everyone who praised them to stop. Checking for proof, Ryuji complained that it was in English but Ann read the statement.
The statement said that since the Thieves were silent, that proves Medjed was the just and ask that people stop worshiping the Phantom Thieves. It said that they would discipline any one who would worship them by confiscating their possessions. Anna asked, "Can they really do that?" Makoto guessed that meant bank accounts or personal information, so in either way, it wasn't a good sign. Ryuji was really getting defensive that they were being targeted and they wouldn't do much on their own. Chelsea brought a letter that she had gotten when she headed home for a moment to get something.
Everyone was surprised it was a calling card and they were worried, but decided to wait til Alibaba contacted her again.

After nearly crashing into the closest thing to a yard and not smackdab face first into a building, Kenneth merely stood up onto the ground and dusted himself off. Once he saw that there was some more dirt on his face, the brunette quietly walked towards the nearest business he could find. Once inside the familiar coffee shop he had remembered he had tried the local curry there before and walked past Daniel, Chelsea, and the rest before heading to the bathroom to clean up.

Daniel looked to Ryuji, it was no small wodner the guy complains abotu the littlest thing, especially English, honestly. "And this is why your grades aren't probably the best in the world." Daniel muttered and Ryuji did take offense to that, aksing what his grades were like and Daniel looked thoughtful. "Enough that I don't need to attend summer school btu honestly, you should pick it up since Englush is basically your coutnry's second langauge sicne you get so many tourists here and all, besides I'm not sure how Japanese schools grades differ from others." Daniel honestly stated, he did not know much about the system but in japan, college students or high schoolers near graduation sign up for a job or a company almost immeidately before graduation since well, Japan was basically workaholic country, they didn't get many holidays msot days off they had were three consectively, some suicide rates would attribute to this ethic.
Makoto did ask what he intended to do with his grades and Daniel leant back into his seat, he didn't need to do anything, he'll just world travel and when that was gettign tiring, settle down with Luka and so again, after all, can most people say they own a planet that is very close to a eden-liek paradise? Probably not.
"Who knows, haven't thought that far ahead, I'm just focusing on the present and rigth now all we can do si wait for Alibaba, although, it does make oen wonder who the group is, but judgign by their phrasing and such, they are a group of hackers and that may eba difficult because of identities as well as well the thing called the internet, perhaps with Alibaba, we can curry a favour from him to learn or handle with this, but for now, the ball in effectively in Alibaba's aprk and he knows it." Daniel stated.

-Leblanc- "Since we can't do anything but wait, I'm gonna head back." Chelsea said, standing and having Morgana hop into her bag. "I'll keep a eye on my messages to see if Alibaba has anymore on this request." She left the cafe and headed home, taking the train as well as being luckily enough to get a seat, reading the comments on the Phan-Site about the issues with Medjed and most were supporting the Phantom Thieves. 'Still can't believe we're doing all this.' Chelsea thought, thinking back to her first summoning of Estinien and change into her Phantom Thief attire, then remembering all the first summoning of everyone who had joined so far, Morgana, Ryuji, Daniel, Ann, Yusuke, Elsa, Anna, Makoto, and Hermione. She was surprised by the apperance of the Personas that had appeared, Captain Kidd, Zorro, Carmen, Goemon, Sarah Crew, Eponine, Johanna, and Erik. Chelsea thought that Hermione's Persona would have been someone who was smart, but crafty, though she didn't know the requirements of the kind of Persona a person would get. -Unknown- Looking at the new Fullbottle that had made for her final form, Eli breathed and got ready for her duel with Merula, getting out her wand. Kairi stood on the sidelines, looking at the group talk to encourage Eli to beat Merula like she used to in school. Eli smiled, Kairi smiled as well as looked at her crystal to the goddess. She wondered if there would be any way to stop Hazard and breathed, leaning back.

Daniel got up from his chair and called out to the bathroom. "Kenn, we'll be dispersing, try and not cause trouble for the Boss." Daiel said as he picked up his bag and Ann had hurried after him, arm around his when he stepped out. "Hm?" Daniel turned to the blond epigtailed girl. "Something up Ann?" Daniel asked as they walked down the streets of Yongen-jaya.
Last he checked, with his Social Link, Shiho had left the school and was already trasnfered as evidenced by checking with herself if she was still suicidial, that did draw some comparsions with Kate Marsh at Blackwell who just couldn't take it anymore with the bullying and would of jumped had it not been for Max, it did show hwo fragile the human spirit can be.

"I just wanted to be close with you." Ann said, holding his arm as they walked, she walked with him and thought all the help he gave with telling off Mika and comforting Shiho. She also thought about all the battles she had been in with him and everyone, her Persona now having evolved into Hecate, like how through Chelsea having done the Link with Ryuji and Yusuke, their Personas became Seiten Taisei and Kamu Susano-o. Though it seemed that Elsa, Anna, and Hermione hadn't been able to change their Personas to get stronger aside from training in Mementos, and that place still crept her out.
Makoto listened as Hermione talked with her about study habits and what to do to help keep their grades up while staying low in school. She nodded, still remembering how shocked everyone was at seeing her Persona, Johanna. From what she had read, that name was the only female pope and when she was discovered and killed, the church had made it so the truth of her ever being around wasn't real.

Daniel nodded, Ann's rival Mika didn't certainly play fair by the rules of the modelling industry since she was in fact the reason why other models were models late as she pretended to be the person who told them of the dates to just get more photo shoots for herself and the agency gave her a slap on the wrista s it were cause she was already so popualr os it was more more an insincere apology she got awya with, plus, she was being a businesswoman tkaing Ann's shoots when Ann didn't do much effort yet outhsoen her but Daniel knew the main reason, it was jealously and she wa sin fact cutting other potenial models shoots to get her own and that wasn't right and he certainly wasn't going to let her off on it.
So, Daniel had rather vocally and clearly within earshot of the agency gave Mika what she deserved, a dressing down of what she had done and how while it helped her gain more popularity, there was many other models who try just as hard to get thsoe shoots, what she was doing was abusing the system for her own needs and that Ann was being uncertain about her job as a model due to the events she ahd goign on and was onyl committing afetr some talks, even if she didn't ptu her all in, she made time to go to the shoots despite what she was going through and the only reason she outshone her was cause her family did the same business of shows and she had teh appeal of being her unquie background, if Mika kept on this route, she will get her heart changed by the Phantom Thieves or the other models will not be as leinient or understanding as Ann was as wlel as wastign the agency's time with other potential models when she tries to get it all for herself, that certainly got them to think and rigth now, there was some talks oflocating more models and having a dedicated caller to inform each and every model about the times while Mika's moddeling stardom was being as prominent, from what he heard from Ann, the agency had ptu her on some kidn of probation period and her modellign career put on hold until she was called for.
As for Ann's Persona evolution that was a surprise but it coudl be from the bond he made with Ann, after all, he did acquire the power to add Ishtar's power to Amon's, that was relaly benefical as his pesona only grown more and more stronger with each absorbing and well, the two certainly got closer since Ann's circle fo friends when she started otu wasn't all that big as with what she had now.
"Hmmm..." Daniel said as Ann asked what was on his mind. "I know the Phantom Thieves are gaining popularity, enough that this Medjed is taking action but yet if they are hackers, they are unable to ascertain their true identites despite the power of technology nowadays and yet this Alibaba managed it, I think Alibaba could very well be part of maybe the original Medjed if they are offering to help go against them... there is one mroe thing I am concerned wirh." Dnaiel said and ANn asked what that was,
"The Phantom Thieves website isn't that hard to find and if Medjed is capable of hacking, they could control the voting system that is being purposed and have the Thieves target whoever they want..." Daniel noted and sighed. "But at this point, all we cna do si wait for Alibaba's messege, let's hope its either a prank by some people trying to imtidimate the Thieves or something." Daniel said and he was right, there was nothign they coudl do but sit and wait.
