[VIDEO]
[This video feed is notably smooth and free of shaking, flickering or static corruption. Especially considering that it seems to be the first time this user is putting material on the Network- you haven't seen this girl before. She's seated facing the camera, and when she speaks it's as quiet and slow as you expect considering the blankly vague expression on her face.]
......hello. This is user ID....
[She pauses; her eyes flicker away from the camera to check something on her COMP.]
.....2510994. I'm not too sure how essential the serial is for indexation and looking up people..... .... but you can call me Nanami. I guess. Mmm.
......
I'm new, so pardon if this breaks any rules or conventions, but I'd just like to ask about the situation here? From what I gather, there are demons as well as creatures called Persona, and it all runs very similarly to an MMORPG. Many of you are definitely far more experienced players and I don't want to make too many stupid mistakes at this point, considering there doesn't seem to be a Save and Reload function.
[Slowly she starts appearing more lively and picking up the pace of her speech. Especially when the game metaphor starts.]
So what strategies would you recommend? Should I focus on finding allies first or levelgrind instead, like at the 13th Hour feature I've been told about- is that too high-level for someone just starting out? Where should and shouldn't I go? Does anyone know what the win condition for this game is?
That last one.... I've been wondering about that quite a bit. It's just weird to start a playthrough not knowing what you're supposed to achieve at the end of it, you know? Though I guess.... this is what it must feel to be a video game character, huh....
[She smiles slightly.]
Mmm. Any constructive responses would be appreciated. That's all I have to say.
[The video feed cuts. bzzt.]

no subject
Pathetic, half-assed explanations with no backing, with the same calm face and tone and no god damn guilt and it makes her sick.] How convenient it must be for you! There's no one else I can ask here to confirm whether you're telling the truth, so you can easily reach for the name of someone we already know is absolutely crazy!
And then use a fake reason like 'roulette murder'? You expect me to believe that? You're not as tricky as you think you are, Nanami. I always knew you were the most dangerous one!
[Saionji's almost drunk in her 'realization' and 'crackdown' on Nanami. Sorry.]
no subject
[Saionji's getting a little ahead of herself here. But what can Nanami do? What would Nanami be inclined to do, anyway? It's the truth, just blown up a lot. So what if she was dangerous. So what?]
[She shrugs.]
....okay. I've said my piece. Your opinion is yours..... I guess.
no subject
[It's a complete deadpan.
And then, Saionji just switches the video off.
...Well, if they ever meet face-to-face, shit's gonna be awkward.]
they should never meet face to face
[[Spoiler warning? More spoiler references than usual]]
[Her codes register that she's made an enemy; not an enemy, per se, her codes register that Saionji is probably angry and upset with her. It is perhaps not absurd to be angry and upset over things like death. And Saionji has never been kind with her judgement, Nanami remembers.]
[But what to do about this whole thing.... there is no answer for this in her mind. Her situation used to be that it didn't matter whether people hated her or not. It was them who were consequential after all....]
[No, Nanami doesn't think an apology would help. She closes the video on her end; to run through all your options and decide none of them work is to do nothing, in her book. Processors are set to idle if no commands are being run.]
END VIDEO EXCHANGE?
