compnetwork | Video 01; a horrible, horrible tragedy!

[ Minato has an extremely important announcement to make. He's very upset by this turn of events because that music player - and his headphones, while we're at it - are very precious to him. Therefore, actually talking to many people at once on this device seems absolutely necessary! So he breaks his record of not broadcasting messages publically for this.

... anyone who watched the videos Yu Narukami posted the other day might recognize Minato as one of several who fell victim to teleporter accidents and wound up in the pool, though he's considerably dryer here. ]

My mp3 player got dunked in a pool the other day. I've been letting it dry since. However, it seems to be shorted out altogether.

... does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get it fixed? Or... is there anyone here good with electronics?

I'd be very grateful for any assistance. [ pause ] For those I haven't met, my name is Minato Arisato.

ETA:
[ A short while later, he appends a picture of the mp3 player in question as well additional details as they come up. ]

It's from the early 2000s on Earth.
My sister has a working model, if one needs to be seen.

It's nice to meet you, Margatroid-san.

I will contact you soon.

I see. It was March 2010 for me.

It should be relatively simple to fix your MP3 player then, since we're from close time periods.

...

Well...the demons.

[Earlier, she may have said that she was willing to help Minako save this world. She may have a Persona. But regardless, Saori is still just a human. Her life, unusual and grievous as it might have been sometimes, consisted of no real supernatural phenomenon outside of rumors and myths.

She hadn't even believed what Philemon had said, passing it as a dream. But the city she was in felt real. She'd even tried the cliche'd rules of waking up: pinching, splashing water, trying to will herself awake. She even came close to tossing herself off a high place but reeled back from it.

Her talk with everyone and Minako helped set her straight, and she'd come to accept this as all real. However...]

It's still just a bit overwhelming.

Mm... they do, don't they...

[ He's quiet for a few moments in thought. ]

What do you suppose is changed about them? What will they be able to do here?

[He's been regressing into awkward turtle mode. New environment is taking some getting used to. That's his story, and he's sticking to it.]

Good. If I hear about anyone who might be able to fix it, I'll let you know.

What else have you been up to around here?

I don't know... right now, the only thing we can do is watch and see.

Should I call you Captain Ruri, then?

Thank you, however. I would love to see the ship at some point. I will bring the player by after he's had a look at it, then.

You can if titles are important to you. They aren't all that important to me so I don't care one way or another. Given my full one is so long it just becomes cumbersome and silly.

I should be here and if not Omoikane can contact me and entertain you till I get there.

Yeah. It's a few years old, anyway.

Where should I bring it?

Ah. Yes... It's a lot to take in all at once.

[ He's not surprised that someone who was essentially a pure civilian in their old worlds would have extra trouble absorbing everything. Even for those who were experienced with Personas or demons, it was still quite a lot... ]

... I hope we'll learn more about the demons, though.

Thanks.

[ And then he's quiet for a moment or two to think things over. ]

Ah, not much, I guess. Spending time with Minako. Exploring. Looking for a job.

What about you?

I guess so.

... what about links you already had with others before coming here?

Okay. I will stop by in a couple days.

Thank you, Ruri-san. (^-^)/

[ Why yes, he does sometimes include faces like that... ]

Pisces 7-05.

Some feel more different than others, but other than being slightly weaker, they seem to be fine.

Understood, I'll get some schematics on modern day mp3 players just in case.

Thank you.

[ Log here! ]

[There's a long pause as he considers how to answer. Finally, he speaks.]

My sister is here. That's taken up a lot of my time the past couple of weeks.

[Much like Akihiko had never realized that Minato had a sister, he had been tight-lipped about his own past, but now that she's here, there's no reason to keep it under wraps.]

I know. She's nice. [ ~~We formed a social link.~~ ]

.... I'm glad your both getting a chance to spend time with each other again. [ Like him and Minako, in a way. He's not going to bring up the fact that Akihiko never told him. If Akihiko wants to talk about that, then he can do so. And if not, well... that's that, then. ]

She is. I'm not surprised. She was a sweet kid.

[He also wouldn't be surprised to hear about that social link. Minato makes friends with freaking everybody.]

It still feels a little strange, but it's been good... to be able to spend time catching up. We have a lot to talk about. I'm sure you know what I mean.

[Similar situation and all.]

I see...

It's strange the way things like that changed too...

Everything is different here. Even the way Persona work.

[Everyone can have more than one Persona... he hated to even think it, but it made him feel less special.]

No problem!

Ah, yeah. It's kind of weird being in a completely different city all of the sudden, but I've been used to living on my own. I think my only worry right now is how I'm going live on without a good source of allowance.
