Palace Inquiry
Hey, all! So, it's been established that Midnight has a Palace, and there are obviously characters interested in participating. The purpose of this post is mainly to gauge how many characters are going to be involved as well as player availability.
There is no set timeline for this Palace, mostly because I know there are other player plots in development and I want to be flexible and account for the fact that we have a wide range of player availability. It'll be easier for me to figure out a timeline once I have a better feel for where everyone's at.
In terms of structure, I do plan to probably go for something relatively simple, such as having maybe a few key areas in the Palace for characters to explore (e.g. entrance, maybe Will Seeds, etc) and then the confrontation. I think a lot of the stealth stuff can be handwaved for everyone's convenience.
That being said, I do still need time to really solidify the vibe and structure of the Palace, which is part of why I wanna let other, more developed plots take priority.
Some things that definitely need to be ironed out as well are...
• Who tries to tell her about her Palace?
• Some stuff with Maruki (gotta hash stuff out with Urii).
• Whether or not the infiltrating party checks things out before telling her.
Crow is decidedly on the side of telling her, ideally beforehand, but it's in the spirit of the Phantom Thieves to discuss and deliberate first. I may do another network post to facilitate this, but ye.

She's also on the side of telling Midnight about the Palace if they can; her friends extended her the same courtesy. Granted, Midnight's even deeper into Kasumi Mode than she ever was, so she doesn't know if it'll work, but it would be unfair not to try, especially since they may need to get Midnight in there before all's said and done. Whether she's the one to try telling Midnight or not, I have no preference and neither does she.

Kaitou's too busy being grouchy over his future self's letter and is either heading towards gaining his own palace, or a TV World dungeon. I'm not sure on which yet. I have ideas for both, but there's no rush with that plot. Especially since more build up would be needed anyway.She's willing to scout ahead to check it out before telling Midnight if asked. She will go along with telling Midnight, though she does worry about the palace's stability.
In terms of avalibility, I will try to be active, but between real life and my fanfics
and video gamestaking some of my attention away, I might be a little slow.I will warn though that if this somehow gets pushed to May, I'll be rather spotty that month as both a life celebration and a death anniversary happens then. Basically the Month of Dead Parents.

sunflowren is strongly on team tell midnight about her palace, and is willing to be the guy to do it if no one who knows her better volunteers. given his personal history, if the group decides against telling her, his IC instinct will be to go rogue and tell her anyway LMAO. but if we really dont want that result, then i can figure out some reason he doesnt manage to do it
sora, meanwhile, doesnt know p4sumi or palaces well enough to have an opinion and will defer to the group
