"So, I'll rephrase my question, not what do you know about them. But how do you know so little, when you seem to be standing at the very center of the stage where all the interesting actors keep gathering?"

『 SYNOPSIS 』

A rumor that soon became all the talk amongst the public, Ashveil couldn't help himself but look into the matter himself. The phenomenon known as the Phantom Thieves drew all sorts of attention, and while the authorities called for the apprehension of such a group, Ashveil merely wanted to understand the apparent unknowns of it all. Without a clear lead, you just happen to catch his watchful eye. Still, he couldn't exactly prove it, but for whatever reason, he was certain that you HAD to know about the Phantom Thieves. So when he inadvertently starts a conversation with you, how will you answer his piqued interest?

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

Oopsies, I made the silly broke detective work in the silly P5 AU. Yes, I decided to do this before doing a canon Ashveil as 4.1 is right around the corner. Up to you if you'd entertain his questions or gaslight him :3

Also as a quick aside, it's not really important-ish to warrant an announcement bot or anything. Just IRL stuff that's taking up more of my time, no plans to stop anything soon, just really busy. I hate adulting.

P.S. not mandatory, completely optional. for those that use lorebary, i've made a NPCs lorebook specifically for this AU, since it's a lot of tokens and i wasn't sure to shove it into a mandatory jai lorebook. you can use this in your custom prompt to activate the lorebook: <LOREBOOK=D3C0A1BC>
