[It’s that time again! Although it’s already a little different from the usual post. Instead of opting to post anonymously as usual, Hizumi has gone ahead and kept his name attached.

Shock and surprise! Golly who could have ever seen this coming?]

Subject: Astrology & Event Docs
Attached files: amd.doc, emd.doc

It’s been busy, but since I see we have new people here, I would like to remind people that the Astrology Master Document and Event Master Document are still around. Since both of them can be edited by anyone who has the file, feel free to add anything you know to them as long as it’s relevant. I have backups of the files so I can restore them if I have to, but I don’t want to do that all the time, so try not to mess it up too badly, got it?

So you guys know which one is which:

Astrology Master Document or the amd.doc is for collecting any information related to astrological signs and their meanings, as well as details of events surrounding attacks by the astrological demons. If you want to get an idea of how people have been affected in the past by their astrological signs during those times, check here!

Event Master Document or the emd.doc is for collecting any information on other, non-astrological based events. So, stuff like suddenly being unable to tell a lie, or groups of people being abducted to strange places. That kind of thing.

If you have any questions, you can also use this post to discuss as usual!

And since I'm here... I might as well point out that the arcade is having a special discount on two hour game cards. If you're up to date with your studies or already gave up on finals, come pay us a visit!

[Private to Atsuro and Otonashi]

Regarding the things my Shadow said - well, none of it really matters at this point, so I'd rather not talk about it. The main point is, I'm not going to kill anyone, so there's no problem. I don't think I need to say this, but just to make sure, I'd prefer it if you don't talk about it with anyone, myself included.

Very well.

I will meet you there.

Cool. I'll send you the address.

See you!

[True to his word, he sends over the street and number before heading out himself. He'll even wait by the entrance until she shows up, scrolling through the documents to keep himself occupied in the meantime.]

[A forefinger would be extended at this point if they were in a different game series.]

...I don't really understand what he was trying to say - or how much of it was even true. But... the only thing that's relevant here is...

Is that really what happened that time?

Did you try to kill yourself?

[It really doesn't take Kaguya long at all. Flight is very convenient. When she arrives, she touches down in front of the arcade with the grace one might expect of an angel. Kaguya likes to make a good entrance.]

I assume this is the correct place?

I'm not so sure if there's anything I can say to change that. Not without disrespecting your wishes.

[In case the aforementioned "code of honor" had any doubt shrouded on it, well...]

All I can say is. . . You're really backwards, Hizumi. Backwards, but I know it's coming from a place of love. I wish you would have just taken the dumb cake and enjoyed it.

What if I did?

[So somewhat with flight this time... Although "angel" isn't really the word that first comes to mind.]

Heeeh... That's a pretty handy power.

You're the one who wanted to check out the arcade? If so, this is it!

It is.

[To her, it really isn't all that impressive. Practically everyone where she comes from is capable of flying.]

I am. However, I believe I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kaguya Houraisan.

Maybe I'm not saying this while ignorant. Probably I am.

But you can't.

If there's one thing I've learned from all of that crap in December, it's that you can't bear a burden alone.

"Love" is probably stretching it.

[Obligatory joke goes here.]

It really would be better if I never even talked to you again, you know.

[And yet, here he is. Because even now, he's conflicted.]

Any reason you decided to reveal yourself this time?

((OOC: Should be *someone not somewhat. I right gud.))

And I'm Hizumi Mizushiro. It's good to meet ya!

I forgot to ask before, but you don't happen to have a hard time with loud places, do you?

If this is going to be a friendship lecture, I already got it.

[Otherwise, he'd likely be among the casualties from that very Shadow Event.]

I suppose I don't really see a point in trying to hide it anymore.

((ooc: No worries, it happens.))

While I do prefer my peace and quiet most of the time, I do not have an issue with loud noises. I'm no stranger to commotions and loud festivities and the like.

There are never enough friendship lectures!!

Even if what you're struggling with is something I can't understand... knowing that you really left me something like that as your 'will'... I can't even think about it anymore without a chill running up my spine.

Alright. Just warning you, it can get pretty loud in here!

[And with that, he turns to step inside. As promised, it is filled with the blare of various video games, all competing to be heard over one another.

And they aren't even near the rhythm game section, either. Hizumi has to raise his voice to be heard.]

There's a lot of different types of games! When you're trying to enjoy yourself, do you prefer something that takes more skill, or maybe music? Or do you just like to mess around?

Then stop thinking about it.

It looks like I'll be sticking around here after all. You can just ignore it.

...

Swear to me. ...That I won't have to think about it.

[a bit childish, in a way]

Will that make you feel better?

Fine. I swear you won't have to think about it anymore.

...Not really.

But if we're going to have this conversation, it seemed appropriate.

...

Hizumi, what does your Persona look like?

Why do you ask?

Was there really a point in hiding it in the first place?

I wanted to know what colors I should use for a figurine because I'm a huge nerd like that.

I couldn't decide if I was really invested enough to help this city.

[It's so much easier to back out if you were anonymous to begin with.]
