Hello, fellow chaps! My name is Angel and I'll be your personal narrator for whatever Phantom Thieves stories I can come up with!

As you can tell, I love stories and I especially love making them. But enough about me, the show's about to start!

And here comes Joker, swinging into the scene with his grappling hook and landing on center stage! Stylish entrances is definitely the name of Joker's game! Making conversations...not so much.

He seems to be staring at the audience with a blank look. Is he staring at our souls? I mean, there's no telling what he could do with his Persona powers after all. Little did we know that he's actually trying to decide on what to say...

"...Hello."
"What's up?"
"Why am I here?"

Finally, he decided to go on the simple, but formal route as he said, "...Hello."

"Cool greeting, but let me show you how a real greeting is done!" A rowdy-sounding voice echoed off from the right side of the stage before a blond-haired boy ran and slid down next to Joker. Ah, Skull. The phantom thief who tends to attract lots of attention. Being vulgar and loud might have to do something with that.

"Skull, I'm pretty sure Joker is trying to be a gentleman here. Don't you understand that?" Morgana sighed as he simply walked over to the group.

"Yeah, I know, but us Phantom Thieves should have style, you know?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever..."

"I don't know about you guys, but grace should definitely be in the Phantom Thieves' vocabularies." And there's Panther doing a flip into their view right as she said that. What a gracious fellow.

"Ah, that's quite an interesting way of observing our methods, Panther." Fox commented as he pirouettes into the scene. He may be an art prodigy, but his head can get stuck in the clouds most of the time...

"...Ok then. Now who else are we missing...?" Skull wondered. "A sensible teammate?" Queen stated, seemingly appearing out of the shadows. She's pretty much a teammate who keeps the whole team together. We always need a Queen in our lives to keep us from going too crazy...

At this point, Joker noticed the pattern and he silently wondered if more of his teammates will arrive in style. Sure enough, here comes Oracle, piloting her Necronomicon to the group and hovering above them. "Heyo, guys! Need a cool hacker to be in the introduction portion of the show?" She said with a smile. Oracle is an adorable geek who can get a bit impish at times...especially with Fox.

"Hm? I thought we weren't supposed to use our Personas until the appropriate time to do so." Fox scratched his head in confusion.

"Oh, well, my Persona is different since I actually have to pilot and stay in it so I can make full use of it."

"Whatever you say..."

Joker wondered if he should tell his teammates that now is a good time to unleash their Personas (since he's the one who told them to wait until the appropriate time) when Noir ran to them and took a few shaky breaths before catching her breath. "Sorry for being so late, guys! That is very unlike a phantom thief thing to do..." She apologized. Noir seems to be an innocent type, but don't cross her because otherwise, she'll show you her bloodthirsty side... Most Shadows sure learned that the hard way...

Joker got another choice of responses in his head...

"What caused you to be late?"
"You ok?"
"It's alright."

In the end, he felt very concerned for Noir's state, so he asked, "You ok?" Noir nodded as she replied, "Yes... Thank you for asking."

"No problem."

Then he looked around to see that seemingly the whole group is here. It's time... He signaled the group to bring out their Personas. "All right! Let's do this!" Skull cheered. Then they got into position.

"Per..."

"SONA!"

Some unknown voice finished the phrase off. Naturally, everyone looked to see the source of that voice, only to find...

Crow?!

He chuckled as he said, "Oh, sorry, did I interrupt your little practice session?" You would not believe how tense the atmosphere became after the reveal. He doesn't seem to be harming anyone at the moment though...

"W-What are you doing here?" Oracle asked. Deep down, she's feeling very nervous inside... Panther definitely shares this feeling as well, along with Noir. Queen tried her best to stand her ground with an intimidating feel, but of course, she's also holding her breath, wondering what to do next. Joker, Skull, Morgana, and Fox just stared at Crow in disbelief.

Crow bowed as he answered, "Oh, I'm just here to atone for my past sins...especially that one particular sin that I have committed." He glanced at Joker, who knew full well what he was talking about.

"Uh-huh... And how do you plan on doing that?" Panther questioned. Crow chuckled again, which doesn't everyone else's nerves. There's something about that chuckle that raises immediate suspicion...like he has some sort of secret plan or something like that. What if he wants to backstab the team again?

"Well, I plan to atone for my past sins...by rejoining your team," Crow began, "Will that be okay with you?"

The whole team gasped out of shock (except the usually silent Joker). "Aw, hell no! I'm not letting this shit happen again!" Skull exclaimed as he is about to attack Crow...until Joker held Skull's shoulder. He looked back with confusion. "Huh? What is it?"

Noir seems to pick up what's going on. "I think Joker wants to make the decision of letting Crow join or not..." She deduced. "Whoa. Are you sure, Joker?" Morgana inquired. Joker nodded and the humanoid cat sighed. "Ok then... I hope you know what you are doing."

Then Joker walked over to Crow and stood there, wrestling with what could be the biggest decision ever.

"...Welcome back to the team."
"No way."
"What are your motives?"

Cue a deep sigh from Joker as he stated, "...Welcome back to the team." Crow simply bowed as he said, "Thank you." Then he walked over to the group.

"...Ok then." Skull said before he and the whole group turned to the audience. "Anyways, together, we are the Phantom Thieves!"

Queen had a look of realization as she said, "Wait, if we are the Phantom Thieves... I don't think we're supposed to announce ourselves like that."

"...Oh shit. Let's get out of here, guys!"

And thus, they all use smoke bombs to escape the scene without us seeing it. Therefore, the introduction has reached its end.

...I bet you're wondering what would happen if Joker chose other dialogue options, huh? Well, allow me to show you, my friend!

Dialogue Path #1

"...Hello."
"What's up?"
"Why am I here?"

"My man! Now that's how you greet an audience!" Skull happily said as he eagerly slid into the scene.

Or...

"...Hello."
"What's up?"
"Why am I here?"

"Did you seriously forget what you just told us to do? We just greet the audience! That is all!" Skull stated. Then he tried to slide into the scene, but he trip and fell next to Joker instead. He really must have been off his game.

Dialogue Path #2

"What caused you to be late?"
"You ok?"
"It's alright."

Noir smiled at Joker in response. "Why, thank you, kind sir." Then she went over to the group.

Or...

"What caused you to be late?"
"You ok?"
"It's alright."

Noir took a deep breath. Something tells me that this explanation is going to take a long time to finish. "Well, I tried to finish up my breakfast, but I was in a rush, so I had to hold a toast in my mouth as I ran out the door and when I got to the cinema, the line was super long and then-"

"Ok, ok. I don't think we want to bore the audience here." Oracle commented. Noir smiled sheepishly as she walked over to the group.

Dialogue Path #3

"...Welcome back to the team."
"No way."
"What are your motives?"

"Oh, but I insist. I'm trying to better myself, after all." Crow replied as he walked over to the group, Joker glaring all the while. He sure does have serious trust issues after that certain incident...

Or...

"...Welcome back to the team."
"No way."
"What are your motives?"

"Did you not just hear me? I need to atone for my past sins. That is all." He repeated as he walked over to the group. Joker scratched the back of his head with a sweat drop. If only he had listened better, he wouldn't have made a fool of himself.

And that is all! I hope you fellow chaps enjoy the introduction! And with that said...

PERSONA!
