[The video turns on to a man who looks eternally bored.]

I guess this is the part where I pretend to be in a support group and introduce myself, huh?

Well, hi, I'm Gabriel, and I've been in your city for a few hours now.

Let's see...I'm from Earth--sort of, I enjoy movies--on occasion, pastries--or anything sweet, and long walks on the beach--in certain temperatures.

[He claps his hands together as if closing the issue.]

But enough about me, let's hear about you...what sort of lovely people do we have assembled here?

[With a raise of one eyebrow, Gabriel cuts off the feed. Either he'd get answers or he wouldn't. It was really just to find some sort of distraction.

Despite his bravado and aloofness, he was still a little shaken up...but he certainly wasn't going to show that..if he could help it.]

[Well, it turns out approaching people via video is a lot easier than just walking up to someone in that crowded room the night they arrived. The feed shows Akihiko wearing a reserved smile, the view that can be briefly glimpse over his shoulder clearly that of his snug apartment, with a large, cylindrical punching bag hanging behind him.]

I've already met a few of you, but I'm Akihiko Sanada, from Iwatodai, Japan. I'll be staying at Libra 5-08. I've had some extensive experience with the use of Personas already, so if anyone needs a hand, I'd be willing to lend one. I know getting used to it isn't always easy.

If there's anyone out there with an interest in boxing and looking for someone to spar with, drop me a line. Some of my equipment came with me, but there's nothing like a sparring partner to help keep your skills sharp, and I won't be giving mine the chance to slip.

[The feed ends rather unceremoniously. He'll get better at this. Maybe.]

[Maya is smiling brightly when the feed opens, looking quite at ease despite all of the recent changes. She offers the network a cheerful wave before proceeding to introduce herself. Everyone else has been, so why not? This network has the potential to be great for meeting people and gathering information.]

Hello! These are pretty useful, aren't they? I could get used to this. So convenient!

Oh, right. Introductions! I'm Maya Amano, hot-blooded journalist! I don't have much use for formalities, though, so just Maya is fine. I've been assigned to Libra 7-08. These apartments are awfully small, but I suppose they'll have to do!

[She'll find a way to make a royal mess of it no matter the size, anyway. Also, apologies in advance to any of her neighbors: she likes her music loud.]

I was thinking of giving myself a tour of the city, particularly the shopping district, if anyone is interested. Also, does anyone happen to know if the paper here is hiring? It's certainly informative, but I'm of the opinion that their articles could use a little pepping-up, and I don't like being idle for too long. If I have to leave my career behind, then I'll just build myself a new one here.
