Ninth Curse

[Video]

[There are two people on the feed today! It looks like Hizumi’s using his COMP to broadcast. He’s got his arm around the shoulders of a certain unfortunate soul as he gives a jaunty wave towards the camera, looking, if possible, even more excited than he usually is.]

Yo! Someone new decided to come along with when we left Geartopia, so I figured it would be good to introduce him to everyone!

[That unlucky individual has a slightly put upon expression on his face in spite of seemingly allowing the hand on his shoulder. Really, he hadn’t signed up for something like this when he came along….] Hey, cut it out--

[Cut it out? Hizumi? Never. Instead, he interrupts with:] His name is Ayumu Narumi, and he’s from my world, so treat him nicely, okay? He might look grumpy, but he’s a good person!

[What a pain There’s a quiet, nearly inaudible mutter of ‘idiot’ from Ayumu at the oddball introduction. Compared to Hizumi’s energy, the brunette in the video is almost downright gloomy in the air around him and that long suffering expression only fades after Hizumi finishes speaking. His next words are polite, if lacking in the energy of the other teen beside him.] It’s good to meet you all. Sorry about this guy hijacking the airwaves for something like this.

[Wow rude!] This network can be used by any of the Visitors at any time. It’s not hijacking! Geeze, you’re making me sound like a bad person...

[It was unnecessary, that’s what.] So you decide to introduce me to everyone on it?

[Clearly this Ayumu is the most social of butterflies. Why was he hanging out with Hizumi, some might wonder? A mystery.]

If I didn’t, you’d probably just watch the network instead of introducing yourself, right? I’m trying to help you out here!

[Ahem. But he digresses.]

Seriously, this guy won’t make any friends if he’s left alone, so come bug him as much as you want! If you need help with anything, he probably won’t be able to turn you down!

((OOC: Green is Hizumi, if that weren’t already obvious, and normal text is Ayumu! Both will be threadjacking around!))

Huzzah!

[Actually, based on prior experience, Hizumi is pretty sure that Ayumu would survive just about any demon encounter.

But we don't need to talk about that right this instant, especially in front of others.]

Right, right, the Persona Game! It shouldn't be too hard to round up a few players.

So you know about the alternate methods. There are Government-funded Persona games for younger children on a regular basis. Most are conducted in the Magi facilities for documenting purposes.

Of course, playing the game does not guarantee a reward.

If you're intent on following through there are groups scheduled tomorrow.

[melodyoflogic]

As long as there's a chance there's no reason to pass it up, right?

[He had every intention of sticking around, and preferably not getting mauled by some demon.

Tomorrow....] We'll be there.

[bondsofsuffering]

That's definitely easier than finding participants on our own.

I hope it's alright if I tag along? I'm interested in seeing how it goes.

[youonlylivethrice]

As long as all proper permissions are filled out. Coming to the MAGI center uninvited can be somewhat of a death sentence.

[Translation: He could care less, really.]

[melodyoflogic]

And where do we fill out those permissions?

[Red tape? Figures.]

[youonlylivethrice]

Ask your friend. Have you been given out your COMP and card yet?

[bondsofsuffering]

Ah, yeah, we handled that on the very first day here.

Should we be heading to the City Hall, then?
