[If there's one thing Bro doesn't like, it's being tossed into an unexpected situation. SBURB had been filled with that sort of thing, but this place clearly isn't much better. Even after gathering some information about Hinoto-Ri, he continues to be filled with restlessness because he didn't get the answer he wanted most of all. No choice but to address the local network, then.]

sup kiddies. listen up. i got separated from my flock.

if you know what sburb is? drop me a line here. if youve been to skaia? drop me a line. if your name is dave strider? youre grounded. and drop me a line too i guess.

btw. i have a mad hankering for doritos. plz tell me they have doritos here. will not accept shitty poser brands. and maybe some orange soda.

Do I still have to watch it if I'm typing

[atsuro gets his wisecracks in when he can]

You wanna know anything else about this place or are you good with just the Doritos? I think Kotoha's been handing out some sort of flyer lately; it saves on the explanations...

[stridercentric]

well look whos being a fucking smartass. good for you.

[He means it though. Sort of. He can appreciate wisecracks when he sees them.]

yeah i got the flyer. very informative. like a goddamn vcr manual. all the infos there but good luck putting it to use.

[otakuro]

And like VCR manuals, it's probably already outdated because the endless drama in Hinoto-Ri just never lets up.

But you probably don't want to think about that stuff until you're a little more used to the whole 'summoning monsters out of your brain' thing.

[stridercentric]

yeah. summoning monsters sure is a thing i can apparently do now.

not sure why id need to though. ive never had to rely on monsters to lay a vicious beatdown before. thats like getting slaves to do my dirty work. i like my dirty work thankuverymuch.

[otakuro]

[Atsuro decides that this person probably doesn't need to know that summoning demons is what he's always done.]

Well... The thing is that a lot of these things are on a different level of power than what you're used to. Not that anyone comes here weak or anything, but...

Having a Persona is like Harmonizing you to the same wavelength so you can withstand all of the stuff they throw at you as easily as you'd take a punch or something. It can get pretty rough, otherwise...

[stridercentric]

what part of i like to do my own dirtywork did you not get?

im sure these monsters are mighty. im sure its handy to have m around. i just prefer bringing the pain with my own two hands. two hands holding a weapon. you dont even wanna know what kinda shit ive fought before.

[otakuro]

...We've all fought a lot of things before. That's all I think I'll say.

Just try and unlock your Persona as soon as you can, even if you don't want to use it.

[stridercentric]

yes mom.

[otakuro]

Wow don't give me that attitude young man! Do you know how hard your father and I work to make sure you don't get eaten by demons your first day here? Plenty hard. Super hard. So darn hard we're taking away your allowance.

We're replacing all the orange soda in the city with cream. Cream.

[stridercentric]

i hate you.

i wish slim shady was my mom. HE wouldve let me chill around for a bit and not unlock my persona ever.

thats it. im running away from home. i hope youre fucking happy.

[otakuro]

Well good. It's about time you got out of the house.

Go get a job already! Your father would roll over in his grave! And remember to call! You kids never remember to call.
