[talk to party members]
LISA: The third member? Me? I have no idea what they’re talking about!
YUKINO: So she's one of the Masquerade Executives. Though I don't think it's really her...
EIKICHI: Don't you think that it’s more likely the new idol is someone else who has the same hairstyle as Ginko? It's obvious that they've misunderstood.
MAYA: Masquerade... Masquerade... why, I wonder? I feel like I've heard that somewhere before...could it be my imagination?

[Talk to Rumormonger Toku]
???: Hm? What business does a young person like yourself have with a homeless old man like me?
(Toku-san: A homeless man who has set up camp in Honmaru Park. He is knowledgeable about rumors, and sees the world from the outside. It seems that he is somewhat of a philosopher. He is actually very intelligent.)
TOKU: Right now, I've got my ear tuned to the murmurings of society. By hearing rumors, I've come to understand what to do about hypocrisy and deception.
TOKU: If you have interesting rumors would you tell them to me? In exchange, I'll give you the rumors that I know.

After talking to Toku:
MAYA: This seems to be the last Rumormonger. We haven't gotten anything...I wonder if anyone actually knows what’s going on?
MAYA: That's right! Why don't we go to that detective agency! A detective might know something about the Masquerade, right?

[Everyone else says something similar. Go to the Kuzunoha.]

[Kuzunoha]
[Tadashi asks you if you know about MUSES. If you say yes, he babbles about their debut. If you say no, he tells you that they're a new idol group produced by Ginji Sasaki, and that this poster he's got on the wall is special--he could only get it as a detective. It's his treasure, don't touch it. Tamaki complains about the poster, and says that Tadashi must have stolen it from a train station and she wants him to return it. Tadashi says that he just found it, and that if he returns it, someone else will take it.]

[Go to the desk and talk to Maya or Chief Todoroki.]

TODOROKI: I think I understand what you're saying, but I'm sorry. I haven't heard anything about a group called the Masquerade.
MAYA: Tamaki-chan also said she doesn't know anything.
TADASHI: Eh? These other two in the picture are your classmates?
LISA: Y, yeah...it looks that way...the ones in this picture are Asacchi and Miipo...
[Tadashi looks back and forth from Lisa to the poster.]
TADASHI: Ho ho ho! That's it, that's it! I've solved the mystery! The silhouette of the girl in the middle! The final member of MUSES, which was kept a secret, is...
TADASHI: Undoubtedly you!
EIKICHI: Ginko's an idol? Oh, come on, think up a better joke than that.
LISA: What's the idea, saying that?
TADASHI: No, there's no way my reasoning can be wrong! The word on the streets is that the third member is a blonde girl with that distinctive hairstyle. That poster matches you perfectly!
LISA: H-hang on a sec...
TADASHI: Gimme! Give me your autograph, please! You're going to the Mu Continent after this, right? I heard there's a video clip being recorded there.
TADASHI: So you're going there, right? What? You're meeting the others at the Mu Continent? Why are you keeping it a secret! Gimme your autograph!
TADASHI: Gimme your autograph Gimme your autograph! Gimme your autograph! Gimme your autograph! Gimme your autograph! Gimme your autograph!
TAMAKI: Hey! You big dumbass! Give it a rest!
[Tamaki chases Tadashi off and kicks his ass.]
YUKINO: Interesting. The students from Seven Sisters saw that picture and mistakenly thought that Lisa was going to debut...
LISA: Heh heh. An idol, huh.
MAYA: Lisa, this isn't the time to be laughing! Have you forgotten that rumors are becoming real? At this rate, you're really going to debut!
MAYA: This poster is strange. It's almost like it was put up in order to start the rumor that Lisa was the third member...
YUKINO: A rumor…the Masquerade?
MAYA: I don't know what their goal is; it looks like we're going to have to investigate.
YUKINO: I hope Tamaki lets up on Tadashi soon...

[Mu Continent]
MAYA: Wow! Listen to that ruckus! MUSES have become pretty famous even before their debut!
YUKINO: Doesn't it look like they're having some sort of trouble?
DANCING MAN: Let me be an extra! Check it out, I can dance!
LONG-HAIRED MAN: I'm much better than that guy! I always sing in front of the train station at night. I've got confidence in my singing!
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: This is bad...I was told to bring people that caught my eye, but...
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: The director is a pain, too...asking me to get extras on such short notice...
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Over there!
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Hey you guys! We're taping a MUSES video clip. Do you want to be extras?
EIKICHI: Okay! Finally, finally, the time for my debut has come! Everybody! Follow me!
LISA: That idiot!
MAYA: It'll take less time than sneaking in, so why not? Okay, everyone. Our target is MUSES. Let's go!

[Video Room]
[Note for this section: purikura, if you don't know, is a little photo sticker. They're really, really popular amongst Japanese girls and women. You take the picture with your friends in a little photo booth, you can decorate it with stamps or write things on it, and then they print out. A lot of times, there's a board for people to stick their purikura on nearby the machines. FYI, the word comes as a shortening of the original term, 'print club' (purinto kurabu = purikura).]

[The director motions for the party to take their positions as extras. Mami and Miho stand in the center, wearing white outfits.]

DIRECTOR: Okay, this is the real thing! Start!

[Mami and Miho dance, with the party playing games in the background. Tatsuya appears to be playing Dance Dance Revolution.]

MIHO: Geez, Lisa! Like, where have you been? We've totally been looking for you!
LISA: So the debut really was the truth. The rumored third member is...
MAMI: Lisa, do you remember the purikura that we took here? We wrote, "We hope that we'll debut as an idol group together," and stuck it on the board, didn't we?
MAMI: Well, that wish has become reality! A producer, Ginji Sasaki, saw that purikura and scouted us!
LISA: Wait a sec! We did put up that purikura, but to really become celebrities...
MIHO: Our debut song is so totally awesome! It's got, like, an English solo for you, Lisa, since you're bilingual and stuff!
[Lisa hangs her head.]
MAMI: Lisa? What's wrong?
LISA: Give me a break! I do not want to become a celebrity!
LISA: All you two are doing is including me because you probably don't have the confidence to do this by yourselves! Don't be such fair-weather friends!
MIHO: That's majorly harsh, Lisa... are you like, mad at us?
MAMI: I'm sorry that we did something so selfish. After this, we've got a recording session for our public announcement.
MAMI: If you change your mind, would you come too, Lisa? Let's go, Miipo...
[Mami and Miho leave. Lisa remains with the party.]
EIKICHI: You’ve never been that mean to them before, have you? Do you think it’s okay to just let them go with things as bad as they are?
LISA: Shut up! Those two are just being selfish. Just let them go!
MAYA: Lisa, calm down. The larger issue is that this debut has a strong possibility of being associated with The Masquerade.
YUKINO: We might be able to get some more specific information from those two. Let's head over to the Giga Macho.

[If you talk to people on the street now, Lisa is no longer surprised about her debut; she's angry and yells at them.]
 

[Giga Macho is the Seedy CD in EP. Go to the FM Radio Studio on the top floor]
METEOR MAN: And that's all for this set! I'm waiting for your postcards, everyone!
METEOR MAN: By the way, Ginji-san. You said you had a very important announcement to make during today's broadcast; could it possibly be...
GINJI: Heh heh heh. You got me. Well, why not? Looks like our guests have all arrived.
(Ginji Sasaki: A snobbish producer who recently made his big break. At the moment, he is enjoying fame in spades. Prior to this, however, he spent many years as a one-hit wonder struggling to regain the spotlight.)
GINJI: This is going to be better than you all expected. I'd like to present the third member of MUSES. Lisa Silverman!
LISA: Oh, for crying out loud! Tatsuya, what should I do? Kau ming-ah! Help me!
MAYA: All righty! At a time like this, just get ready and jump right in! Try and collect as much information for us as you possibly can!
[Tatsuya nods. Lisa walks into the studio.]

MAMI and MIHO: Everyone listening at home! The three of us are MUSES!
METEOR MAN: Whoa! This is a shockwave announcement that's even got me surprised! That's Ginji Sasaki for you--what a stylish presentation!
MAYA: Hey, Tatsuya-kun. Don't you feel a small Persona-resonance from that Ginji guy?
MAYA: I wonder if he's involved with The Masquerade as well. If he is, Lisa is in danger.
MAYA: However, if we go along with our current plan, we might be able to acquire good information about The Masquerade. What happens now depends on Lisa.
METEOR MAN: Well then, why don't we ask the most popular question amongst our male listeners! Lisa-chan, do you have a boyfriend?
LISA: Sohai! Yes, there's someone I'm seeing! In fact, he's come here today!
METEOR MAN: Far out! Now it's Lisa blowing us out of the water! So, which of these guys is your boyfriend?
LISA: He's standing over there. He's the tall, good-looking one! Oops, I've blown his cover!
[People look around.]
EIKICHI: ... Me?
EIKICHI: I wish you'd have said something sooner. Okay, baby! Come, fly into my arms!
LISA: What?! You, of all people?!
[Eikichi and Lisa make punching motions at each other.]
METEOR MAN: Hey, hey, calm down, okay, Lisa-chan? Look, we’re kind of doing a live broadcast here...
LISA: But my Ching-yan isn't that perverted narcissist!
METEOR MAN: Um... well then, Ginji-san! MUSES’ debut song has been on our minds...
GINJI: It's a song that discusses the rumored "Joker Charm" that young people are playing these days. The title is, appropriately, "JOKER!"
MAYA: I knew it!
GINJI: As you can see, we've prepared a genuine English solo part in the song for Lisa-kun, who's got a real talent for English. 
METEOR MAN: Interesting! Okay, Lisa-san. Could you give a shout-out to all our listeners in English?
[Lisa looks flustered.]
METEOR MAN: Whoops! It looks like it's about time to bring this party to a close. Well then, Lisa-san! I've got high hopes for you!
LISA: O-OKEI! I-IESSU!
METEOR MAN: After this, we'll be presenting MUSES' schedule. But today, they're going to be giving a mini-concert at the open-air concert hall in Aoba!
METEOR MAN: See you next week on Meteor Man's Sound Max!
[MUSES and Ginji Sasaki file out.]
MAYA: Sasaki and MUSES have headed for the open-air concert hall in Aoba. Let's go there too, Tatsuya-kun!

[Go to Aoba. Before that, collect rumors. The best ones are with Chikalin in Yumesaki. Stop by the W-Slash and go to the red computer to look at Baofu's homepage.]

[W-Slash]
???: It seems you're a first-time visitor. I'm Baofu, the owner of this page.
(Baofu: Runs a rumor homepage, and is a Rumormonger over the Internet. His real identity is completely shrouded in mystery, but he seems to be collecting rumors with a goal in mind.)
BAOFU: So what kind of rumors have you come to hear? Or, do you have rumors of your own?
BAOFU: Well, either way, welcome. How about this--if you have rumors, I'll trade them for my rumors.
BAOFU: You're interested in rumors, right? I am too. When you've got something good, send it my way. I'm expecting some interesting information.

[If you stop by Kismet Publishing, you'll get a bit of information about Yukino.]

[Kismet]
MAYA: This is the publishing company where I work, Kismet Publishing. Coolest and other magazines are published here. It's a pretty nice place, isn't it?
MAYA: Over there is Fujii-san, a cameraman. Yukki is his assistant. Of course, it also counts as training.
MAYA: You could say that Fujii-san is Yukki's employer, and also a great teacher for her. That's why she always acts like that in front of him. Strange, isn't it?
YUKINO: A...u...um, Suou-kun... I'll introduce you... T-this is... my employer, Fujii-san. He's a free-freelance cameraman...
YUKINO: Eh? My face is red? T-that's not true... no, no it isn't. Ha...ha ha ha ha...
???: So you're Suou-kun. I've heard about you from Yukki and Makki. Oh, I should introduce myself. I'm Shunsuke Fujii. Thanks for helping them out on their story.
(Shunsuke Fujii: A freelance cameraman who is Yukino's employer. He's usually lazy and easygoing, but when he's working, he completely changes and becomes highly driven.)
FUJII: I see, you're handsome, just like they said. Someday, I'd definitely like to photograph you. If that's all right with you, of course.
FUJII: Eh? What do I think of Yukki? I think she's a spectacular woman. Yeah, almost blindingly spectacular.
FUJII: While your'e young, the relationships between men and women often quickly turn into romance, but that's not the only connection men and women have.
FUJII: If you just look at the number of people, that's obvious... to put it another way, it's like this. Romance is not my specialty.
EIKICHI: What's wrong with Yukino? She's red all the way to her ears.

[Stopping by Sumaru TV will allow you to meet Junko Kurosu. She won't be there forever, so stop in and see her now. She's the woman in the green dress with long brown hair. You can also meet Brown (AKA Brad), from Persona 1.]

[Sumaru TV]
???: Oh my, what do you want? Do you want my autograph? I'm the world-famous Junko Kurosu. I'm a genius actress, and it's been said that I surpass Norma Jean.
(Junko Kurosu: An actress whom, about ten years ago, was surrounded by media attention. She disappeared after a major scandal, but recently has returned to fame. Her youth and beauty have, for some reason, remained unchanged.)
JUNKO: Well, take it out. What? Your autograph book, your autograph book. You have one, right?
JUNKO: I'm busy. Do you understand? Directors would give millions of dollars to have just the amount of time that we've spent talking here. Think of this as a privilege.

???: Hey...are you Suou? Well? Yukino-san's scary, isn't she? She's kicked my ass more than a few times...
YUKINO: Hey, I can't just let that go by!
???: Oopsy-daisy, not in the face, please. It's what I use to earn money these days. By the way, I'm Uesugi. Call me Brown.
(Hidehiko Uesugi: Yukino's good friend, a multi-talented celebrity with rising popularity. His specialty is terrible puns. He was awakened as a Persona user during his high school days.)
BROWN: Interesting. So you guys say you've met Philemon, too. You're looking into the strange things that have happened in the city recently, right? Well, do your best, but don’t get killed. I'll do the same.
BROWN: I wonder why Yukino-san has grown her hair out? I didn't recognize her. When I realized who it was, I said a little prayer without thinking about it! Something like "Oh, Kami!" Dee hya hya hya hya! [1]

[1] The words for "God" and "hair" have the same pronunciation, 'kami'. They have different kanji. Brown used the one for 'hair'. You see what they mean by bad puns?
 

[If you talk to the man right outside the Aoba Park entrance, he'll give you a rumor that the flowers can talk. Spread the rumor, and then every time you talk to one of the flowers, it'll talk to you and ask a question. If you answer the question right, it'll give you an item, and if you answer it wrong, your whole party gets poisoned. You only get one chance to answer. I didn't translate the stories, but here are the right answers:
Red flower: "Talk with the eyes" [Second choice]
Orange flower: "Good morning!" [First choice]
Yellow flower: "Sun" [Third choice]
Green flower: "Thorns and Poison" [First choice]
Light blue flower: it doesn't give you a choice
Blue flower: The first choice will reduce your HP to 1 but result in you getting a Ball of Returning; the second reduces your SP to 1 and results in a Ball of Returning, and the third is the wrong answer and will get you poisoned. IMO, the first answer is the best choice, since HP is easy to rejuvenate.
Purple flower: "All the same" [Second answer]]

[At the entrance to the Concert Hall]
MAYA: This looks like the back door. How should we get in?
MAYA: Even if I lie and say we're here for an interview, I don't have an appointment, so our cover would probably be blown pretty fast...
EIKICHI: Hey everybody! There's a few guys over there that look like temporary staff. I wonder if they're skipping out on work?
YUKINO: Seems that way. Do you think they've got temporary worker badges?
YUKINO: I wonder if they'd sell them to us? We can say that we couldn't get tickets.
YUKINO: Even if it is exploiting them, it's better than rushing in and cracking skulls.
MAYA: Yeah. Okay, let's run with Yukki's plan. Tatsuya-kun, go ahead.

[Talk to the Staffers]
CONCERT STAFF [RIGHT]: I was supposed to go to Obiria-chan's concert today, too, but they called me here all of a sudden.
CONCERT STAFF [R]: I asked my friends, but everybody was busy, and nobody could swap with me.
CONCERT STAFF [LEFT]: Man… I'm so dead today. Last night, I drank way too much at my circle's party; I wonder if anyone'll take my shift.
CONCERT STAFF [MIDDLE]: Uh-uh, Staff only. Sorry, but this is my job.
CONCERT STAFF [M]: Eh? You'll swap with me? Even though you couldn't get tickets, you've gotta see the concert, no matter what? You say you've got friends with you, too? Well, this is kinda sudden, but...
CONCERT STAFF [M]: Um...if anyone finds out, they'll get pissed at me, but this does really suck...
CONCERT STAFF [M]: Okay, okay. We'll sell you our staff badges for ¥10,000 . We're taking a risk on our side, too, so that's pretty cheap, right?

Will you buy them for ¥10,000?
 - Yes
 - Actually, no.

CONCERT STAFF [M]: All right, thanks. Okay, here's our temporary worker badges. Try and do some work while you’re at it. I'm counting on you!

Talk to party members:
MAYA: Are you all prepared? Once we go in, we probably won't be able to leave until we save Lisa.
EIKICHI: A future star has to work today as a simple event staff member...I wanted to make my way onto the stage magnificently, but they say that the little people are important too.
YUKINO: Those guys really sucked! That's not the attitude of a part-time worker. I know it was my idea, but...

There are two doors; you can go into the one on the right or left. Go in the left-hand door second, because that's the one that will take you into the larger portion of the plot. This starts with the one on the right farthest from the exit. You can't save until you get out of this dungeon, so make sure you have everything you need.
 

[First Dressing Room]
CONCERT STAFF: What the hell is up with him? He gains a little bit of popularity, then acts like a conceited asshole!
CONCERT STAFF: Ginji Sasaki, that damn lolicon bastard! [2] He's totally sweet to women, but if you're a guy, he treats you like a worm.
CONCERT STAFF: In the beginning, he was just a damn one-hit wonder! I know that only a little while ago, he was making a whole bunch of noise at a cabaret club, bragging about the past!
EIKICHI: What? Ginji Sasaki is a lolicon? That means... right now, Ginko is...
EIKICHI: You think she's beating him up yet? We'd better stop her before she commits murder.
MAYA: Eikichi-kun says that, but he really seems worried about Lisa.
MAYA: That's so great. I really like kids like that. Of course, I like you too.
YUKINO: I've been in the studio once myself, and I recall that Sasaki guy to be a total prick. Shun...Fujii-san also had trouble with him.

[2] "Lolicon" is short for "Lolita Complex." A guy who has a thing for adolescent girls.
 

[Third Dressing Room]
MANAGER: That little Lisa girl is just like them; why do I have to be the manager of a bunch of noisy kids like this?
AYA [Girl in striped (Karukozaka High) uniform]: Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I'm AYA! Ahahahahahahaha!
TAKUMI [Girl in Sevens uniform]: I'm Takumi! I'm not a boy! We're trying hard, so we don't lose to MUSES!
AKI [Girl in St. Hermelin uniform]: That old bitch really pisses me off! Could we just get rid of her?
KATSURA [Girl in tan uniform]: I'm Katsura. The four of us are SPADE. Until the day before yesterday, we were just regular high school girls!
MAYA: It looks like these girls became idols the same way Lisa did, through a purikura.
YUKINO: SPADE, huh. That sounds kind of silly. You really think they'll sell?
EIKICHI: Ma'am, don't say that. Yeah, they are kind of bimbos, but... as manners, I'll give you one autograph...
EIKICHI: Okay! Come on, babes! How would you like the autograph of a future big star? It'll be at a premium in a few years! 

[Room on far right]
CONCERT STAFF [L]: You guys are part-timers, too? That Ginji Sasaki, he's such an asshole! He's full of himself and thinks that he's the shit.
CONCERT STAFF [L]: He called this other part-timer a worm--the guy was really upset. You gotta be careful not to rub him the wrong way.
CONCERT STAFF [R]: Right now they're doing a rehearsal on stage. You can't go in. You don't want to be on Sasaki-san's bad side, do you?
MAYA: If they're in the middle of a rehearsal, that means Lisa should be on stage too, right? Why don't we try going in from the other side?
EIKICHI: Huh, that Ginji Sasaki seems to be just as I suspected--a total jerk. Guys like that--narcissists who think that they're better than everyone else--tend to be pretty twisted.
YUKINO: Eikichi...do you realize what you're saying?

[Everyone goes in, and nothing is there. Eikichi stands by the door.]
EIKICHI: Hey, everybody! It's Ginko's voice!
[Everyone but Tatsuya crowds by the door.]
MAMI'S VOICE: That's got to be a lie, right? Lisa...

[MUSES and Ginji Sasaki standing on stage]
LISA: Don't make me say it a hundred times! My English fluency is a total lie. The truth is, I can't speak even a single word!
LISA: Are you saying that I should obviously be able to speak English because my hair is blonde? Because my eyes are blue, it's strange for me to speak Japanese? Am I that much of a freak?
MIHO: You're not, like, weird... Lisa, it's totally awesome how you stand out.
LISA: What I was brutally teased about when I was little is now cool? It's sexy? I've had more than enough of this shit!
LISA: My father never taught me a single word of English. But, since I'm a foreigner, it's obvious that I should speak English... it's obvious that I stand out...
LISA: What should I do, really? I... I'm just a regular girl... the same as everyone else...
MAMI: Sorry, Lisa... I never realized that it hurt you so much...
MAMI: But right now we can't think about it. Will you come with us?
MIHO: Yeah, it's totally like Asacchi said! Lisa, y'know, you can just make a wish to Joker-sama to become fluent in English, and it'll all be totally okay!
LISA: I knew it! You guys are also in the Masquerade!
GINJI: Lisa-kun, what's your dream? Why won't you tell Joker-sama your dream?
LISA: Th-that's... awfully sudden...
[Ginji shakes his head.]
GINJI: No, that's not it. You don't have a dream that you should confess. It must be hard for you, even if you're with Suou-kun and the others.
GINJI: That reporter, and the camerawoman too... even the Captain, they're all living their lives, following their dreams. In spite of that, you don't seem to have any dreams at all.
GINJI: It’s been very hard for you, hasn’t it? That's why you give the Captain such a hard time, right? That's why you cling to Suou-kun, right?
LISA: I had a dream, too! But... I lost it... so what?
GINJI: I feel your pain! People who have been defeated by their dreams are pitiful... but, if you've lost your dream, it's okay to dream of something new.
GINJI: So, why don't you try and give Joker-sama a call? It's a rebirth, working towards your new Self. You'll become a guiding light for the young people who are living their lives without purpose.
GINJI: The young people who empathize with your song will probably call Joker-sama themselves, and each one of them will grab hold of Fate with their own hands. It's Joker-sama's dream to give everyone their desires.
LISA: That's a lie. What's with the Shadow People? Why are you stealing everyone's dreaming hearts?
GINJI: You, too, know the pain of living without a dream. Joker-sama is freeing them from that pain. Don't you think that's a kind of happiness?
GINJI: But, if it's feasible, we can even give dreams to those who lack them... that's what Joker-sama thinks. For that reason, your power is necessary.
GINJI: Come to the Masquerade. Your friends, who love you deep down inside, are there. It's the place where you belong.

[Mami and Miho nod. The scene switches back to the room where everyone is listening.]
EIKICHI: Ginko was agonizing that much, huh?
YUKINO: I kind of understand how she feels; people meddling in your personal life, and being ignored. She said it's different, but...
LISA'S VOICE: Let me think about it.
EIKICHI: Hey, Suou! Ginko's gonna go with them? At this rate, they're gonna trick her and she'll betray us!
MAYA: Let's believe in Lisa. A dream isn't something to cling to, or given to you. I'm sure Lisa will realize that on her own.
[A man comes through the door.]
TEMP STAFF HEAD: Hey, you guys! Temps shouldn't be wasting time in here!
TEMP STAFF HEAD: Men, get to your security positions. Women, get to the entrance and take tickets. Understand? Then get moving!
[Everyone files out of the room.]

[Tatsuya and Eikichi are standing near the empty stage. Go talk to Eikichi.]
EIKICHI: I know what Maya-nee told us, but I still think we should go save Ginko!
EIKICHI: It's not like I'm worried about her, but if we lose her now, our group will be weaker in battle, right? It'll be too late after the fans come in!
Hey, let's go help her, Suou!
 - Watch and see how things go
 - Go to help her
 - Let me think about it
[Since the best overall choice is the first, that's the one I'm scripting from.]

EIKICHI: What was that? You... you're making a big mistake! Think about Ginko's feelings a little bit, too!
ANNOUNCER: The doors are now opening. Please line up by twos and enter in an orderly fashion.
EIKICHI: Shit! Well, we can't do anything now! Suou, if anything happens to Ginko, I'll never forgive you!

[The concert starts. Lisa is doing most of the singing. The lyrics to the song are here. Maya and Yukino come in towards the middle.]

MAYA: What she just said--that was the Oracle of Maiya! That's it! That was the Oracle in its entirety!
YUKINO: Oracle? That thing that jerkoff King Leo was talking about? That was it?
LISA: I'm sorry to surprise you all. The truth is, I can't speak any English.
LISA: That's strange, since I look the way I do, right? But, I thought that above all else, it was even more uncool to continue deceiving myself, so I stopped.
[Lisa looks back and forth at MUSES. Tatsuya flicks his lighter.]
LISA: Thank you so much for listening to my song.
[Eikichi notices something.]
EIKICHI: Hey... what's this? There's stuff rolling around under here...
EIKICHI: Look, Maya-nee. Underneath the seats--something's rolling around, isn't it?
[Maya frantically tries to get people's attention.]
MAYA: Lisa! The concert's over! Get everyone out of here really frickin’ fast without causing a panic!
LISA: Eh? Explosives?!
[The hall goes into a panic; everyone runs out. Applause is heard from offstage.]
GINJI'S VOICE: That was a moving show, Lisa-kun. It's so much more intense when my prey resists me... you make me so damn hot, you know that?
LISA: Ginji Sasaki? Those clothes... I knew it!
PRINCE TAURUS: Yes. My name is Prince Taurus. My deepest gratitude. Thanks to you, the "Song Of A Foreign Land" was completed.
KING LEO'S VOICE: Though the "Foreign Land" is a faraway star...
[King Leo stands on the rafters.]
KING LEO: You were bragging about how you were going to collect the energy of all the spectators in one fell swoop. Are these the results? The only thing you're good at is talking.
PRINCE TAURUS: Hmph. The Crystal Skull of Earth is already quite full.
PRINCE TAURUS: People who dream of stardom have more energy than I had expected. We'll still make it in time for the Destruction Of Nahui-Olin.
MAYA: What are you trying to accomplish by using those skulls to collect people's dreaming hearts? What the hell is the "Destruction Of Nahui-Olin?"
KING LEO: If you want to know that, you've got to win the game.
KING LEO: My job is to start the Flames Of The Atonement at the points indicated by the constellations... I'm going to raise four pillars of fire...
KING LEO: Hya-ha! One of them will be here...if you want to know where the next will be, you're gonna have to search this place... because the Oracle is somewhere inside!
KING LEO: Heh heh heh…hyaa ha ha haaaaaaaaaa! Hurry up, hurry up! In just thirty minutes, this place is going to be a sea of fire!
[Leo disappears in a ring of fire.]
PRINCE TAURUS: Damn, he does such useless shit...well, on that note, Lisa-kun, for the small amount of time we have left, I want you to dance with me!
TAURUS: Heh heh. What are you going to do, Lisa-kun? If you can't defeat me quickly, your precious "friends" are going to be burned to a crisp.
LISA: I'll show you that I can protect Asacchi and Miipo! I'm gonna kick your ass!
YUKINO: Lisa! Hurry up and put an end to this!

[Fight Taurus. Use Wind fusions. The FAQ may tell you that Taurus is hard, but I found him to be incredibly easy. I think I defeated him in three turns.]

PRINCE TAURUS: Ugh...It seems like I underestimated you a bit... but!
TAURUS: Mami-kun, Miho-kun, put on your masks! Do you really want to return to your ordinary lives?
LISA: No, don't! Asacchi, Miipo!
[Tatsuya tries to attack, but Ginji sucks the energy from Mami and Miho.]
PRINCE TAURUS: Ha ha ha! I'm going to use the meager dreams of these two as the foundation to open the Gates To Heaven. Farewell, Lisa-kun!
[Tatsuya again tries to attack. Lisa falls to her knees.]
YUKINO: That crazy bastard...he's planning to blow things up all over town! If we don't find out where his next target is, we're gonna be in some deep shit!

[Talk to people]
LISA: I...I'd never believed in my friends, but... Asacchi and Miipo... they still believed in me... I... I...!
MIHO: Lisa is... crying... but... whatever...
MAMI: Our promise to Lisa... my dream... is...
MAYA: Stand up, Lisa! We've got to do our best right now! And apologize to those two.
MAYA: You tried to protect them, didn't you? It's okay... when those two wake up, I'm sure they'll smile for you.
EIKICHI: Those assholes... I'm gonna kick the living piss out of them!
YUKINO: Suou! We don't have much time! Hurry, let's look for the next target!

[The Oracle is in the middle locker in SPADE's dressing room. Unless you took more than 25 minutes to fight Taurus, you'll have more than enough time to find it.]

MEMO FROM KING LEO: "If you can figure out the meaning of the Oracle, come to the next target. There's a countless number of explosives, but remember, there's only one timed detonation device."

[After you find this, just leave the arena. FMV plays of the explosives detonating. Your party makes it outside the gates, along with Mami and Miho. Maya is shaking.]

EIKICHI: We escaped by a hair...that was really dangerous.
MAYA: NOOOO! The fire! Save me, Daddy! My arm... my arm is burning!
YUKINO: W-what's wrong? Maya-san! Calm down!
YUKINO: What's that scar on your arm?
LISA: What's going on! Tatsuya, do something for her!

 - Gently comfort her
 - Slap her on the cheek

MAYA: I'm sorry... I'm okay now... I... I'm so terrified of his fire, I can't do anything about it... it's pathetic, huh?

 - You don't have to try so hard to bluff.
 - I'll protect you.

[It doesn't really matter which you pick--apparently if you want Tatsuya to fall in love with Maya, you should gently comfort her, and then tell her that you'll protect her in the next choice. The dialogue is the same regardless of which you choose.]

MAYA: Thank you, Tatsuya-kun... I... I really am pathetic. I'm so sorry I made you worry.
MAYA: I'm sorry, everyone. Now! We've got to look for the next target of the Masquerade! Hmm...
MAYA: "The Ascension of the Twelve Beasts. / When the torrential winds of Revolution and Destruction blow, / all of humanity, with beaming smiles, start down the slope to Hades...?"
EIKICHI: What the heck is this? I've got no freakin' clue what it's saying!

[Ideal-sensei comes out of the flames. She looks distressed.]

IDEAL-SENSEI: "Song Of A Foreign Land," "Flames Of The Atonement"...that's unmistakably the Oracle of Maiya! Who in the world has--
MAYA: Um, you're Okamura-sensei from Seven Sisters, right? I'm Maya Amano from Coolest editorial division.
MAYA: You just said something about the Oracle of Maiya... do you know anything about the Oracle? If it's all right with you--
IDEAL-SENSEI: Why do you know about the Oracle? The only people that should know about that are myself, Kashihara-sensei, and Sudou-kun!
IDEAL-SENSEI: Wait! Could you be... the Last Battalion?
[Everyone is confused. Ideal-sensei looks at Lisa, shocked.]
IDEAL-SENSEI: Lisa Silverman? Th-that's what it is, isn't it?
IDEAL-SENSEI: You blended in with the other students as a spy, and tricked not only the other teachers but also myself... that despicable man! Heretic! You immoral bastards, you pawns of Hitler!
[With that, Ideal-sensei walks away, once again leaving everyone confused.]
MAYA: What was she talking about? It seems like she knows quite a bit...
YUKINO: Let's put that teacher on the back burner. Right now, we've got to find the next target!
YUKINO: This Oracle seems closely tied to the occult. I've got a friend who knows a lot about these things. Let's talk to her.
[Yukino makes a phone call.]
YUKINO: Okay, we had a little chat. My friend is going to meet us at the W-Slash in Aoba-ku. Let's go!
