Mona has been up all night talking about how he would have done the heist and getaway of a certain museum in France.

I don't think his ideas work in the real world but as I can only squeak in response, he just keeps talking at me...

Ren sometimes runs errands for a weird middle-aged man in a mask and glasses in an alley in Kichijoji. Some of the things he wants are limited, so I guess that's why he needs help.

Ryuji suggested opening a wider service on the Phan-Site but Ren has to run around enough as it is.

We handled some requests today.

The little boy there is always making drinks out of flowers, so Haru got curious and bullied him into letting her try. I think her eyes were literally glowing afterwards.

She said she had ideas for her café but didn't remember them when we returned.

Ren called me ‘his little tactical nuke’ today while booping me on the nose.

I’m not sure if I like it or not.

Sorry I haven't been posting much. I've been feeling a bit discouraged. I know we just have to keep searching and that I should be thankful for the few special safe rooms we've found, but it's hard to come back empty handed time and time again in between.

It was chilly tonight. Futaba commanded Yusuke to lend her his jacket, like a gentleman would in a romance novel. He took off his coat and stood behind her, letting it go to fall on her shoulders. She crumpled immediately, nearly flattened. I think she forgot to account for how much bigger he is...

I think Futaba was hoping that Morgana would be trapped in the costumes she created. That might work for a normal cat, but Morgana had no trouble escaping once she fell asleep.

I wonder what she thought waking up to an empty lobster costume.
October 31, 2025 at 2:29 PM
Oh I figured it out. I was just the distraction to wear out Morgana.

She has so many more costumes for him, but he's too sleepy to fend her off.

I would be smug but I'm too tired...

Ren is going to have so much cleaning to do. Futaba's floor is covered in felt scraps. I keep trying to drag a few to the trash, but before I get anywhere, it's time for another costume. I tried hiding but she's good at getting into tight spaces and Morgana is on her side.
October 30, 2025 at 6:43 PM
Futaba suddenly got it into her head that she wanted to take a whole bunch of mouse-in-costume photos for social media.

I'm not sure what this is for. I don't think she even has social media.

Even though I'm more nocturnal these days, I just want to go to sleep...

When Ren is really showing off in Mementos, he has this haughty laugh that echoes through the tunnels. The shadows look really scared. I would be scared too if it wasn't him. 😊

Actually, being in his pocket while he does it, it's kind of fun the way his full chest vibrates.
October 27, 2025 at 1:57 PM
Today Futaba said that I say so many misinterpretable things that I should become a streamer when I'm human again.

I could tell Ren was trying to get her to stop talking.

I'm not offended. I don't know what she means.

Should I be offended?

We received requests about more personal bullying too so we've started investigating those.

It's sad how many people take the bully's side. I thought most were avoiding being a target themselves, but Ryuji thinks many just like being on the 'winning' side.

Can we steal the heart of mob mentality?
October 22, 2025 at 12:51 PM
Lately we've gotten a lot of Phan-Site requests from creatives who are being bullied online.

Futaba says its easy to use bots to scam or try to hurt people as they require no skill these days. She said she even sees them where she archives my posts, but she just reports them and they're removed.

The nursing home director has been calling in sick, so I think we were successful, but we won't know for sure until he either returns or makes a statement.

Changes of heart seem to take differing time for different people. I guess even after it happens, they need some time to decide what to do.
October 16, 2025 at 2:56 PM
Ren and Morgana are sleeping now. I should probably sleep too. I tired, but I just keep reading things on my phone.

I've also been thinking about the special safe room, and how we don't have access to it anymore. Our experiments didn't yield anything. Will I be stuck like this forever?
October 14, 2025 at 2:13 PM
Though Ren made it seem like a pretty easy fight, escaping the crumbling haunted house with all of the ghost fleeing at the same time wasn't as easy.

Futaba had a great time though. (Ryuji carried her because she wasn't running fast enough.)
October 14, 2025 at 2:05 PM
Stealing the treasure was fairly straightforward. The director's shadow was some sort of necromancer. Futaba, Morgana, and I all told Ren to use bless skills (well, mine came out as squeaks) but he overpowered the shadow with curse skills just to show off.
October 14, 2025 at 1:57 PM
We managed to talk Futaba out of doing the entire first run without sound. She was hoping that some of the execs on the call would warn "You're on mute!"

We convinced her they would just probably just disconnect.
October 14, 2025 at 1:51 PM
We 'sent' the calling card today. Futaba overrode the entire videoconferencing interface, turning the windowing elements red, and added a Phantom Thieves participant who took over, shared screen, and blasted the calling card presentation. She then immediately uploaded the recording to social media.
October 14, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Since we plan to send the calling card soon, Ren and I went into the Palace to use the special safe room for a bit.

I'm going to miss the ability to stretch, move my real body, talk with my real voice, embrace each other as my real self. Why didn't we come here everyday? So many obligations...
October 12, 2025 at 1:36 PM
I climbed up the back of the receptionist's chair so I could see the nursing home director's calendar.

The good news is we have several candidate times to invade his most important video conference calls.

The bad news I was seen and now they’re calling pest control…
October 10, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Since the nursing home director goes on a lot of video conference calls, we have been debating sending the calling card through that. Futaba video conference bombing its too pedestrian, but is willing to help.

I've been trying to spy on his calendar without his assistant seeing me to find out when.
October 9, 2025 at 12:04 PM
Ren volunteered at the nursing home today. The three of us searched for a good place to put the calling card. It's a bit fraught because the director doesn't come in every day, so we'll need to make a big enough splash that his staff notifies him.

They're pretty resistant to deal with him though...
October 6, 2025 at 1:01 PM
We were going to take a bunch of tarnished armors we found to this one shop in Kichijoji that will buy them from us, but Futaba suggested we keep this batch and wear them for Halloween.

...she isn't willing to wear one though.
