Update 07: Kicking Snowman's Tail
There's only one event available, so let's check it out!
: I could never have imagined something like this when I came out here yesterday.
: Hey, look...!
Devil Survivor OST - 通常 -jingle-
: Yes, I'm Yuzu Tanikawa. I'm surprised you remember me, Gin!
: Heh. A man in my line of work needs to have a good memory of names and faces.
: Ahaha! Sounds like a tough job! Oh, um...
: Oh, you remember that street performance we saw earlier? That was Haru.
: Gin's kind of Haru's guardian. I met him at a show, and we've spoken a couple times since.
: Gin always watches out for people, so everyone tends to consider him a big brother.
: You flatter me, Yuzu. So are these two your friends? We haven't met, right?
: Oh, sorry! Feel free to introduce yourselves, guys.
: Thanks for the permission, Yuzu
: I'm Atsuro Kihara. Nice to meet you.
I was tempted to pick the second option, but Yuzu would throw a fit!
: I'm in a real fix. Everything from the ice to the fruits in the fridge are wiped out.
: Well, no sense crying over spoiled milk. Just gotta wait for the power to come back.
: You been here long? Bet you've been out since the blackout... Heh. What a sorry situation.
: Hurry home and let your folks know you're safe, okay?
: He's a nice guy, but he's probably the only person right now that didn't hear about the lockdown. Weird.
Devil Survivor OST - 不安 -jingle-
: Uh, about that...
Yuzu explains to Gin what we saw at Shibuya Station.
: Hm... the bar TV's busted and my cell's dead, too. Looks like we're all in the dark...
: Man... What's going on?
: Your cell doesn't work either?! That's been a huge problem for us, too!
: Well... sitting here won't get us home, so we're thinking of looking for a way out.
: Sounds like a big deal. But if the government's on the job, this should blow over soon.
: I hope you're right...
: Just you watch, it'll be over by nightfall.
: I kind of doubt that.
: I'm going to catch some Zs at the bar...
: If you need help with anything, just give me a holler.
: Okay! Thanks a ton, Gin!
: 6?! Why?! I-is Gin going to die in six days...?!
: But this is... this is insane!
: I see...
: I hoped if we stayed close to people with high numbers, we'd have better odds of survival.
Devil Survivor OST – Action
: I get it... People without a number are likely to live for a while. They might help us.
: But only the military doesn't have any numbers and I doubt they'd help us.
: We can't know for sure, but we should do everything we can to increase our odds of survival!
: I know what will increase our odds of survival: stronger demons! There are new ones available, so let's buy some.
She belongs to Avian species so she increases her master's movement range by 1 and allows him to ignore obstacles. She's perfect for Yuzu!
Bufu is a basic ice element spell. Amrita allows us to remove ailments such as stone or mute.
I believe we've already met him
Time's running out and we haven't found an escape route yet...
: I'm exhausted from all this walking... I can feel the sweat pooling in my shoes.
: Better sweaty than dead.
: What the...?! You don't have to say it like that!
: ...Sorry. I'm getting a little nervous...
: It's okay. I'm sorry I snapped back. Let's decide what we're going to do from here.
: Yeah, good idea.
: Hey... Are we really trapped into the Yamanote circle area?
: Are we going to die just like that email said?...
: Yeah... The west side might be sealed, but there's still the east. Let's keep at it!
: So, yeah. This is the key to our victory. Soon, we will have much more skills than just Zio or Dia! Free battles are very useful for cracking skills because there's no limit to them and we can just repeat a battle if anything goes wrong. We won't have that kind of luxury in mandatory battles.
: He got us into this mess, but he's still doing everything he can to help us...
: You got that right...
: If he cares that much, he shoulda make sure we weren't in the lockdown to begin with.
: Yeah, that's for sure.
: Either he can't tell us or the time's not right yet. No way for us to know...
: Yeah...
: Hey, those Skill things come in pretty handy, don't they?
: If that function can get us more of those, that'll be a huge help!
: It might even increase our chances of survival...!
: It definitely will!
: That Skill Crack thing? Only someone who knew about demons could program that in...
: I wonder just how much Naoya knows about demons.
: Put it on the list of things to ask him when we find him.
: Though we have to do something about the number on the death clock first...
: Yeah. We'll have to use every trick in the book to survive that long...
: There's a mandatory battle ahead of us, but I want to crack every available skill so I have to do two free battles.
We got some new skills, but nothing really fancy. I gave Neku ice skill and Yuzu fire one, because I think they fit them better. We'll be switching their skills around a lot anyway.
There's only one event available...
: ...No one's here... It's usually really crowded.
: Hey, Neku, what's your favorite ride?
: I really do like them
: Oh, you're just like me! I love that one!
: Korakuen in Bunkyo-ku... It's famous for the theme park and baseball field. Anyways...
: Doesn't it feel a little cooler here?
: Yeah, now that you mention it. Is it air conditioned? Maybe it has its own generator...?
: I guess, but why would they cool the outside air too? Seems weird...
: You got a point... But you won't hear me complain. At least it's cool here.
: Whew. Now that we beat the heat, I'm getting hungry...
: Oh yeah, it's already lunchtime.
: The email? What about it?
: In case you've forgotten...
: Atsuro? What's wrong?
Devil Survivor OST – Disquiet
: This is the place email mentioned... And now is about the right time.
: Uh... What?
: Remember what the Laplace Mail said? Murder victims of an abominable snowman...
: An abominable snowman? You mean, something like this?
: Oh, no... Three victims... And the death clock says 0 for us three...!
: Hey, look!
Nice to see ya again, buddy.
I'm happy to see you too!
I'm afraid I'm not into big hairy daddies, buddy. Find yourself some other fucktoy.
: Is that... the snowman thing from yesterday?!
: “Localized blizzard will occur”... This is it! The time and place match up!
: Damn it...! Look at us!
: We thought we could escape from our fate... but we ended up running right into it!
: We made that email a reality all by ourselves!
This guy just can't take no for an answer.
: Is it really where we die?! Is fate really unavoidable?!
: What... Naoya said? You mean...
: …
: I... tried to convince myself I was working so hard... but all I was doing was running...
: I ran away from things I could fail at, because I was afraid of looking bad if I did!
: But this time... If we fail, it's over, isn't it?
We don't really have many skills to crack in this battle because of those free battles we've previously fought in. We can, though, crack an Ice dance (command skill, I quote SMT wiki now because I don't really remember how it works - Inflicts moderate Ice damage on random targets. Hits 2-5 times total, max 3 times on one enemy.) or Anti-Ice (passive skill, grants resistance to ice damage). Thing is, Wendigo has them both so we have to choose between them. I think we'll get Ice dance later on anyway and AFAIR elemental resistances are harder to get so I chose Anti-Ice.
Let's do this!
Devil Survivor OST – Pinch Battle
There's one group of enemies in the east...
...and the second one, on the northern side of the map.
We don't have the time to fuck around so we attack Wendigo straight-up.
...I don't really want to miss out on macca and exp tho so let's defeat his minions first.
Wendigo hits like a truck and is very difficult to hurt. Fire – his weakness – hits him for, like, 25 hp or so. Yeah, I gave Neku fire for this battle because Yuzu's minions use ice and she wouldn't be that useful against Wendigo anyway. Or so I thought. Whatever. I'm not much of a strategist
Coolio.
Healing skills are always useful.
Yup.
It'd be too risky to let Atsubro fight the eastern group alone, so I decided to keep our teams close to each other.
Even Ogre can't really hurt him, but we're chipping away at him ever so slowly.
Ouch.
Boy, I'm glad I decided to focus on him
He manages to hurt and freeze Kabuso tho.
Moh Shuvuu's team's close enough to attack us, so we try to eliminate her before she takes us by surprise.
They won't be a threat any more. Unless you consider a single Moh Shvuu as a threat.
We got hardly any XP.
Devil Speed and Aggravate are triggering my PTSD flashbacks. ;_;
I guess we aren't the only ones who know how to use Dia.
I'm glad I got this guy
The battlefield's becoming a bit crowded.
Meh, wait till you see Diarahan.
Don't fuck with Atsubro
Aww yeah, Overwhelm bonus!!
It's time to show them what tasteful rape feels like!
: Not so tough now, are you? I'll let you live if you ask me nicely.
: Alright, we can do this! Let's drop these guys!
: If destiny is telling us to die, let's change that!
These guys are quite tough. They don't deal that much damage tho.
They aren't much of a threat any more.
Bitch's trying to run away
Yuzu's team's badly hurt tho and she tries to gain some time to heal herself.
Everyone moves north to catch Wendigo. Yuzu licks her wounds in the meanwhile.
Ugh.
Like I said, they're pretty damn tough.
In the meantime, Wendigo almost managed to run away, but Neku used his Devil Speed in the last possible moment and caught up to him.
That's a lot of xp!!
Life Bonus grants +10% HP!
Ugh, we don't have 6 Vit. Vitality is pretty useless for non-fighters and people who don't give a damn about survivability (me). Resistances can be very useful though so I guess I'll have to spare 2 points later on.
He shatters into pieces just a second later.
You shouldn't pick fights with people stronger than you, snowie.
We move everyone north and let Waira come to us.
Easy peasy.
+1 to magic!
That was easier than I expected.
No casualties, too!

Feels pretty goddamn amazing. <3
: Yeah! We kicked that snowman's tail! We'll be okay now, right?...
: I mean, we were the ones mentioned in the email... but we cheated death!
: 2 days, huh?... At least we bought some more time.
: Let's use those 2 days to find a way out of the Yamanote Circle!
: Right! In the next 2 days, we'll find an exit or die trying!
: Yeah! We changed our fate, so finding a way out should be a piece of cake!
: Oh, one thing, though... I forgot to tell you guys!
: You know how to spoil the mood, I've got to give you that.
: Wh-what...?! Quit scaring me like that!
: Sorry, but I only realized it a moment ago. We've got a problem...
: Wh-what do you mean, a problem?...
: We're forgetting something important. We absolutely need these COMPs to fight, right?
: Uh? Huh, yeah?...
: The COMPs run on rechargeable batteries. But there's a blackout right now...
: Right. At this rate, it won't be long before our COMPs are out of juice.
: What're we gonna do?! Hey, Neku!
: Yet another broken image. I'm sorry for that. >_<
: We're in trouble...
: I know THAT!
: Why don't we try Akihabara? We might be able to find a hand-powered charger there.
: Huh, I didn't even know those exist.
There's only one event available, so let's check it out!

Naoya said:Yo Kazuya, you still alive?
The Death Clock calculated by the Laplace Mail may not be absolute, but if the root cause of the events described don't change, it's highly likely that the results will still end up the same. ...That's fate.
I've updated your COMP with a new function attached to this message so that you can face fate and cut your own path.
You should be getting an email describing the “Skill Crack” function soon.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Keep surviving.
COMP.sys said:The Skill Crack is a function that analyzes an enemy's ability and saves it to your COMP.
[NOTES]
- The enemy selected by the crack must be defeated by the team with the COMP that set it. The crack will be nullified if any other team defeats that enemy.
- Only a single enemy is targeted by the crack, not the entire enemy team.
- The target of the crack and the COMP user who is targeting it can be viewed on the top screen.
We got some new skills, but nothing really fancy. I gave Neku ice skill and Yuzu fire one, because I think they fit them better. We'll be switching their skills around a lot anyway.
