☔ 1st Rainy day | Video

[greaterdays]

[When the video switches on it's a bit crooked, but it's soon apparent that a child's face is staring into the watch.]

Is it on?

[Someone else off-camera must have given an affirmative answer, because now she smiles.]

Hello!

[Then she pauses. She wants to introduce herself, but that someone has just reminded her not to. When she continues speaking, the smile has faded and her voice sounds... well, like a young child who is a bit scared, but mostly confused, and also trying very hard to sound confident instead of either.]

Can anyone I know hear me?

They said I should ask because lots of people can see this, like on television! [Who 'they' is is also left unclear. But the idea of a video phone is apparently exciting, smartphones aren't exactly the norm in Inaba...] Um... So if you know me, then answer back with a video.

[Because text answers are apparently also bad. This list of rules is even longer than her Dad's.]

And don't worry, I'm okay. [This, she adds because she knows her family well enough to predict their reaction to this weird kind of message. Her Dad is probably going to yell either way, though.] ...Thank you for listening.

...Um, how do I turn it off?

[...what.]

[...no seriously, what.]

[Philemon, you asshole, why the hell did you bring Nanako here? Igor, why did you let him? No, better yet, just Philemon, you asshole.]

[Yu tries, but he just cannot keep the surprise off his face.]

Nanako? When did you get here? Who's with you?

[greaterdays]

[...

that voice]

[Video]

[greaterdays]

Big Bro!!

[you have no idea how happy she is right now. ...Though her tone might give a clue]

I just got here... And, there's a man named Q with me. He said he'd stay until I found someone.

[Video]

[linefacingforever]

[Yu let out a breath; oh good. Q... well, he handed out weapons and such, but he was probably the best choice for someone not him to look after her. Seriously, who would mess with that guy?]

[...still, it would probably be best if he went and got her before she tried to find a good weapon for her or something. He wasn't even going to consider the fact that his little cousin had a Persona now just yet.]

Oh good. Where are you now?

[Video]

[greaterdays]

Um...

I'm not supposed to say on here.

[because that's what Q told her even if it probably doesn't apply anymore.

Nanako doesn't know about locking replies.]

[Video]

[disconinjafrog]

[Whoa whoa- now there's a face he never expected to see here!]

Nanako-chan? Is that you?? It's me, Yosuke! Where are you? Are you okay?? Does Yu know you're here??

[Sorry Nanako, he is going to bombard you with all of the questions.]

[Video]

[greaterdays]

[Talking to Yu has made her much happier, and seeing Big Bro's friends are here too only makes it better.]

It's me! And I'm okay! Big Bro is going to come and get me.

[Video]

[disconinjafrog]

Oh good. [He figured Yu would be really quick to respond to this.] Did they explain anything to you yet? Actually, who in the world is there with you right now?

[Video]

[greaterdays]

Um... it's another world, and there are bad monsters at night...

[It's clear that whatever explanation she got hasn't been perfectly retained.] And, a man named Q is helping me. He's from England!

[This is much more interesting than talking about monsters, which is just scary.]

[video]

[demifemme]

"What the fuck, they're kidnapping children now???" Oh god Shura that is not how you speak to a child, Jesus.

[video]

[greaterdays]

[nope...]

You shouldn't use bad words like that.

[video]

[demifemme]

"Erm... sorry. Is your mommy or daddy there?"

[video]

[greaterdays]

I don't have a mom... Just Dad and Big Bro.

But, Big Bro's coming to get me. So I'm fine! [she thinks that's all right to tell a stranger. She doesn't want people to worry about her, even if they do use bad words.]

[Video]

[themortalhalf]

[Why the hell is there a kid here?

Shit.

Why would they need a kid? Are they that desperate? Or just fucking incompetent?

Bunch of bastards. They can take him and all the other idiots they want, but they should leave the little kids alone.]

The button on the bottom right. That's how you turn it off.

[Video]

[greaterdays]

[this gruff voice isn't anybody she recognizes, but it's good to be polite.]

I found it! Thank you...

[Video]

[themortalhalf]

...Sure you could've figured it out yourself.

[ . . . ]

Find someone you know yet?

[Video]

[greaterdays]

But you still told me. So, thank you.

My Big Bro and his friends are here.

[Video]

[not_that_sasuke]

[Joining team Why Are They Kidnapping Kids Now...]

...Have you found people you know yet?

[Video]

[greaterdays]

I'm okay now. Big bro and his friends are here.

[Video]

[not_that_sasuke]

[He gives a very quiet sigh of relief.]

I see. That's good.

Are they coming to get you?

[video - some time after Yu and Yosuke have commented on this]

[fools_journey]

I'm glad you found some family here. I hope you are able to settle in all right.

[ When Minato first listened to her message, he was worried, but now, having seen who replied and seen that she did in fact find some people she knows is a relief. She reminds him a bit of Maiko, albeit a bit younger, and so of course he immediately is a bit worried about her. ]

[video]

[greaterdays]

Thank you... I hope so too.


[not that she really wants to settle in, but right now it's the only choice. she can be brave until she's able to go home.]

[akihisaful]

Sorry, I don't know you... But I got a little worried that it looked like you were on your own. Good to know someone you know is around.

I'm Akihisa Yoshii, by the way. Nice to meet you!

Video

[greaterdays]

I'm fine with my big bro. But, everyone else has been really nice to me too.

My name's Nanako. It's nice to meet you, too.

[akihisaful]

[This is good to hear. He'd hate for a little girl to be on her own in this weird place.]

Nice to meet you, Nanako-chan! That's good to hear! I'd hate to run into mean people here, haha...
