[Minako is starting to get restless. The tournament only heightened this feeling, and so, today, after a conversation with Minato, she turns to the network to message the members of SEES she knows are present.]

Hello, everyone - this is Minako. I've been talking with Minato recently, and we wanted to bring this to everyone to see what you think.

SEES was formed to solve the problem with Shadows. Even though we managed to do that back home, it's obvious they're still trouble here. I know not all of us know each other well, or remember the same things, but we still all accomplished the same goal. That makes us teammates.

We may not know where we're headed again this time, but there are Shadows to fight, and there's the mountain in Gemini that looks a little too much like Tartarus. What I'm proposing is that we re-form SEES and explore it. If our purpose here is to protect the city, that looks like the best place to start finding answers.

Obviously, I wasn't the leader for everyone here, or even most of you. But, I'd be really happy if we could fight together, again or for the first time.

[oh, right...] Also, there's another person here from Gekkoukan - Saori Hasegawa. Regardless of whether everyone wants to form SEES again or not, I'd like to help her learn to use her Persona and it would be great if someone wants to come train with us.

[Afterward, she takes to the video for something a little more public and light-hearted.]

So I read on the news feed that there's going to be some kind of masquerade ball at the end of the month. Since it's Halloween-themed, that must mean costumes. Anyone else thinking of going and dressing up? I can't decide what would look the best!

Santa Claus, probably. I dunno.

[It's not the most inventive thing in the world, and probably not what he'll go with; but whats the point in spoiling the surprise and stuff?]

A vampire Santa? A zombie Santa? Ghost Santa? Stop me when it sounds viable.

[She'd be really confused if she hadn't just read his network post. Even so, she's still slightly confused.]

I'm not sure how you'd dress as a ghost Santa. Wear nothing but white?

[~~in that case it wouldn't even be a costume~~]

An all white Santa would be a normal Santa, so I guess a ghost Santa would be, like, see through and all that shit.

[How is that possible? No idea. Scooby Doo technology could work wonders, he's sure.]

Though then I'd have nothing to wear come Christmas, would I?

Probably not... Are you planning to dress up for Christmas, though?

Santa is as Santa does, ma'am.

[That's a yes. Possibly?]

What, you hoping to score a present or something? Is that what this is?

Well, if you're handing them out...

I usually only gave gifts to my little sister, but maybe here I'll make an exception. Only if you're a good kid, obviously. I'm Santa, after all.

[Also you don't want to know what this Santa does to the people on his naughty list.]

Don't you think it's a little rude to wait this long before you tell me your name, by the way? I'm close to tears over here.

[he's pretty cheeky, isn't he?]

It's Minako Arisato. I hope you won't put me on your naughty list for keeping you waiting.

Yeah well I might put you on there depending on how much cash I have closer to Christmas day.

But since I'm not loaded right now and we've only just met? I'm gonna default you to the naughty list. Work hard to fight your way back to the nice list.

[she has to laugh a little...] All right, I'll do my best, Santa-san.

Don't try too much; my limited bank balance is on the line here, Minako.

[Not that he misses having his vast fortune from back home, he doesn't really need it here after all.

Not yet, anyway.]

Spare a thought for ol' Saint Nick's purse strings, wont you? Even coal is pricey these days.

I won't put too much on the wish list.

[to be fair she's not seriously anticipating him getting her anything.

But she can still push a joke.]
