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?]

Wait wait wait.

That voice...you're that werew--[wait no, don't talk about those damn books] you're the...guy!

[A+]

So you're new? Like, you've never been here at all?

I'm what?

[Is he hearing this guy right? What was he being called?]

Yeah, that's what I mean! I just got here earlier today!

Sorry bro, there was a dude like you that was here before, but he left a few weeks ago. What was his name um...

[He opens the Junes Saga book, totally legit info.]

Kenji?

[And it's a good job he can't be seen right now, as he's just staring at the screen.

His voice is a little scratchy as he goes on.]

...that's a hell of a coincidence. My name's Kanji.

Oh right! Kanji might have been his name now that I think about it. Kanji Kabuki?

NO that's not right...

Something close like that. And with this place? Probably ain't a coincidence. I've seen two of the same people here before!

[What is he saying? What...]

No...

[And his volume starts to go up-]

No! How the hell-? There ain't another Kanji Tatsumi, dammit!

THAT'S IT! KANJI T--

[Why is he always the bearer of bad news.]

--okay look, the point is, you're probably the only Kanji from your world, right? But this place has people from all over. Different timelines, different possibility, you catch my drift?

If it helps, I was a Persona user before comin' here too!

Damn right I'm the only one from my world!

[An odd thing to have to emphasise in that way... but he realises what he's said as soon as he's said it and hesitates.]

Different timelines? Like... outta some kinda science fiction thing?

[He files away the second bit that this person's said for later.]

Yeah, you got it, that's pretty much what I'm talkin' about babe!

Only this place is crawling with demons at night during the 13th hour.

...'babe?' What d'ya...

[The hell does that even mean? It's going to earn a baffled pause as he stares blankly for a moment, then-]

But if they want someone t' sort out demons, they got the right guy. ...You said you too, though?

Oh babe everyone...b-bro?

[There we go.]

Yeap! A full Persona user with my friends in Sumaru City cia 1999!

[Okay, 'bro' makes more sense. He gives a faint 'huh' of a laugh. The date, though...]

1999? Seriously? This time stuff's startin' to get kinda confusing. I - [not going to hurt if he admits to this much, is it?] - knew stuff was goin' on back then, too, but... guess I didn't know all'f it.

Kotoha's pretty happy - the last couple of new Visitors never made Network posts, so this is her first chance in a while to trot out the pamphlet.

"Hi! My name's Kotoha, nice to meet you! I'm sending a text file to your COMP, okay?"

BEEP BOOP FILE TRANSFER

Cool. I'm Kanji - nice t' meet ya, too.

[Beep? Beep. It takes him a moment to get it, check it, unfamiliar with the system-

And a few things catch his eye almost immediately. The Amagi Inn? Could be a coincidence. But what he needs to ask about...]

...Uh. This thing is talkin' about non-humans. Are there a lot of - a lot of 'em?

...you do?

weren't you like... a toddler at that age?

Edited 2014-05-30 23:56 (UTC)

Y- n- uh...

[These are always the tricky ones. After all, technically he wasn't ever a toddler... he flails his way into a coherent answer.]

I didn't mean I knew stuff then then! I just found out about it later! That's what I was talkin' about!

"We don't have as many Visitors as we used to, but there are a few, yeah. The manager of the Amagi Inn is a friend of mine, a robot named Nano."

...You've gotta be kiddin' me.

[Too many coincidences...]

That's. Damn. Uh. That's cool...! Seriously, runnin' the place? Do, uh, do people say anythin'?

"About Nano? Mostly just that she's a good person."

Kotoha pretends to think about her next words before saying them, a cheerful little grin on her face.

"If she weren't so obviously hetero, I'd probably flirt with her a little. Ah well!"

The last two words are accompanied by a gusty, exaggerated sigh.

That's, uh, that's nice? Right?

[Someone here couldn't be more clueless if he tried...]

But huh. That's cool. Good to know 'n all that. ...Now you've said that, I kinda wanna meet her.

"Hmm...here, I'll send you the address for the Amagi Inn; you can talk to her there if you want?"

Yeah. Sounds good to me.

[At the very least, he's got to check the place itself out with a name like that...]

So, uh. Anythin' else I oughta look at 'round here? I ain't used to big cities...

[A valiant effort. Unfortunately, Eikichi's good at detecting lies.]

...

That sounds awfully suspicious...

Hey, at least it does get easier to accept the longer you're here, I promise.

So you're another previous Persona user, huh? Well as they say, 'A job worth doing is worth doing together.' I've been meaning to ~~rank up~~ fight more creatures lately, and having additional backup would be appreciated.

I'm Miki Sanada, nice to meet you!

If Kotoha hasn't hit you with that huge info thingie she gives everyone, just tell me and I'll do my best to resume it. Otherwise, you should expect a call from her in a few minutes. It's kinda like clockwork, I noticed.
