01: audio / action

[stitchedfromsteel]

Hey, everyone. Uh, hey, Visitors? Am I doin' this right?

[The voice that's playing is that of a rough-sounding young man, and one who sounds a bit stressed at that.]

So. From what I've heard... you guys are all Persona users, right? Brought here to help protect this place? Still havin' a hard time believing it, but - guess there ain't any point in denyin' what I'm seein', huh.

I just wanna let ya know ... if anyone ever needs any backup or anythin' like that... [the next bit comes out in a rush, loud and forceful-] oh, just gimme a call, okay? I've done this crap before. I'm - [and he pauses for a moment, picking his words.] Uh...

I'm here to help. I want to help.

So... lemme know, okay?

[Pause. As if an afterthought-]

...An' does anyone have any tips for people who've just got here? This city's kinda crazy...

[Throughout the day, a rather confused looking young man in concealing clothing that looks like it's got to be too hot for the weather can be seen wandering through the city, trying to get his bearings. Damn. He never was good at navigation... but he'll get this place mapped soon enough? Won't he?]

Comments

[helenchanted]

We both have!

[She is 16 year old and wants to prove herself. Please excuse the outburst.]

[boxingemperor]

You gonna invite him along? [He looks to his little sister. The more the merrier, right? Everyone can benefit from training.]

[stitchedfromsteel]

Right, what I meant. But ...uh, invite to what?

[helenchanted]

What else? Training!

[harder, better, faster, stronger.]

The moon's only at the first quarter so demons are a good warm-up challenge right now.

[stitchedfromsteel]

The moon does that to 'em?

Well. If you guys want me taggin' along, sure! Just lemme know where 'n when, okay?

[helenchanted]

Oh we're going now.

As in...now, now.

[stitchedfromsteel]

Ah, hell! Look, I - I do wanna come with you, but I ain't got a clue where you are or where anythin' here is, so, uh, can I catch ya up or something?

[helenchanted]

Don't worry, the COMPS come with a map! We're in the SEES building right now so it's farther than the apartments...

[She points to the watch on her arm.]

Check the options on it. I'll send you my coordinates!

[boxingemperor]

This should be fun.

[Easy peasy and an excellent warm-up for the days ahead. Not that he'll admit he's a bit rusty from recent downtime.]

[stitchedfromsteel]

[Poke, poke. He's no more a tech expert than most humans are brain surgeons, really...]

Huh, alright. You get started 'n I'll be there as soon as I can.
