1st Strategy

[The pause before recording and the view wobbles, as though the person using the watch doesn't have the first thing about cameras or recording devices. Which he doesn't.]

...Hello! My name is Morgan, and I'm new to this Outrealm - I mean, to this city! It's a beautiful city, by the way. I've heard a little bit about what's going on from the government workers, but there's a lot that I'm curious about. Like this "COMP." How does it work? Being able to talk to people over long distances seems amazingly valuable, tactically speaking. That is if I really am speaking to someone. It's still strange talking to myself but actually expecting other people to listen--

Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself again. There's something more important I was wondering about. I heard that we all have a "Persona" and it's supposed to be something that represents us, right? Do I still get one if I don't know myself? You see, I have amnesia, so if this Persona thing knows a lot about me I really want to meet it.

Thanks in advance if you can answer my questions! I don't mind if you can't, though. I just think it's friendly to introduce myself when I'm in a new place.

Oh and, Mother... or any of the other Ylissean Shepherds! If anyone else is here, I think meeting up would be a good idea too.

There you are, Mother!

[wait, she sounds pretty concerned. And if Lucina hadn't already filled him in what she just said would be concerning, but now he knows why she has reason for confusion.] Don't worry, I'm the same Morgan you know and love. ...I hope, anyway! Lucina told me about the different world problem.

[formulator]

[ The relief is obvious in her voice and expression. ]

That's good. I was worried... [ Well, so far, it seemed as if there were truly only two different timelines involved, so perhaps it was to be expected. But she couldn't relax juuust yet. Not until Chrom was there.

Anyway. Ahem. More important things to discuss, yes. ] How much of the situation do you know about?

[tipthescales]

[and unfortunately, Chrom being from the wrong timeline is potentially the most awkward situation...]

Lucina said some of the others remember us as opposite genders. ...Which is really strange to hear, Mother, but I guess it's still not the strangest thing we've seen! Actually, it's interesting to imagine what it's like. I wonder if female Morgan acts any differently than I do?

[formulator]

It's... admittedly, an odd thing to think about. If I'm your father, then who would be your mother? Who would be Lucina's?

[tipthescales]

The fastest way to find out would be to ask...

[but does she really want to know which of her friends married her husband in another world?]

Still, outside of curiosity, it doesn't really matter. You're my mother, and Lucina's too.

[formulator]

Yes, you're right.

[ She pauses a moment, then dives right back into the questions. ]

So how much do you know about our current situation aside from that?

[tipthescales]

Let's see... We're in another world, we all have a new power called Persona, and they want us to help protect the city. Oh, and time is apparently stopped back home while we're here, which is really good news for us. Do I have the main points?
