[With everything returning to normal, Saori's still a bit shook up from recent events. She's still sorting her feelings on all of it: Eikichi's attack, getting separated from SEES, the boss battle. But she can't stay cooped up by herself forever. She needs to let her friends know where she is, and also...get a new door.

The video flickers on. This seems to be the most popular way of communicating. It's not what she'd choose personally, but if it gets everyone's attention, the better.]

Hey everyone. This is Saori. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to announce some things.

First, Minako-chan if you're seeing this, I'm alright. I ran into a couple people, and they helped me out. Speaking of whom, thank you everyone who fought the demon together. I've never seen teamwork that good before. I hope I was some help as well.

Second, thank you Minato-kun. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't contact you.

And lastly, does anyone know a good workshop? I...need a new door. [And to make her point, she points the camera to her front door, which looks to have been cleaved with an ax. She giggles self-deprecatingly.] Horrible, isn't it?

That's all I wanted to say. So, bye. [The feed cuts off.]

Ah yes, the support back during that battle. Good to see you're putting yourself to good use, at least.

My word, I've heard of men beating down doors to be with women, but that's a might excessive, isn't it? Ho ho ho.

[You have no idea Misery. Nor does Saori want to get into it.]

I'm glad then. You were great during the battle too. Lowering the enemy's attack and defenses allowed us to survive.

Of COURSE I was great. I'm just happy you acknowledge that.

*Flattery will get you everywhere.*

Saori, was it? I suppose I can give you my name. I am simply Misery. No, I do not care to explain it. That's simply what it is.

I..see. It's a pleasure to meet you under better circumstances Misery-san.

[Her name may be strange, but Saori is strange herself.]

Hm. Well, adversity makes strange bedfellows, I suppose. I'm afraid I'm not the social type much, but if you need a potion, I'm always available. Ho ho.

Potion? [That sounded similar to...]

Ah, you like to create medicines?

They CAN be medicines, yes. I prefer to keep my wares list open.

Ahaha. You would have gotten along with Edogawa-sensei. He was always experimenting with new medicines.

You don't say. I doubt he would've been familiar with some of MY... medicines, though.

I don't know about that. He was always researching magic. In extra-curricular classes, that's all he taught. I think he'd find you fascinating.

[ When he clicks his video feed on, Minato shakes his head a little. ]

Ah, you don't need to thank me. I'm just glad you're safe.

But I insist. I wouldn't have been able to handle Mic--him alone.

[ He shrugs and shakes his head again. ]

... are you gonna be okay now? Do you have someplace to stay until your door gets fixed?

Minako-chan's inviting me to stay over, so I'm fine. It's just replacing the door that's going to be the problem. [sigh] Just my luck, huh? Guess I should try to be careful with who I help.

Oh good. [ She'll be fine with Minako, he's sure. ]

Hm, I don't think it's who you help as much as when you help them...

Are you going to be all right until the door is fixed? You can come stay with me if you'd like...

[because seriously now that she can actually see the damage and not just hear about it, it looks terrifying.]

Can I really?

[Her heart skips a beat. This is the first time she's had a friend invite her over. Even when going to the movies, it was Saori who asked Minako to come.]

Of course! I couldn't just leave you alone in an apartment with no door. [Who knows what creepers they have besides Eikichi.]

Haha. Obviously not.

Can we watch a movie too?

That sounds good... Staying at home or going out to a theater?

Hmm...home would better.

We could make it a slumber party.

Great! We'll have to go pick out some good movies, though.

Okay! Which kinds of movies do you like?

I like almost anything. Why don't we go with something you want to see?

[That's... quite some damage to her door. He knows what axe damage look like when he sees it.]

...You fought that thing?

Um, sort of? The others did most of the fighting. Persephone isn't really suited for battle.

[Hysterical Slap is more an annoyance than a killer move.]

[They probably needed a Support Persona or two. Might as well know what you're fighting.]

Close enough.

You ask the management about the door?

[Would probably want it to stay uniform and shit.]

Not yet. But I'm sure it will cost a lot to repair. Heh.

[Seems like even here, her luck is shit.]

Wouldn't worry about it.

[Because we all know Eikichi's going to pay for it, even if he wasn't willing.]

Huh? Why wouldn't I?

[Pardon her Shinji. She's ~~dumb~~ used to being the one to apologize for messes.]

Ain't your problem.

But it is! I need to save up for a new door. And I can't just keep sponging off of Minako-chan.

Save up for something else then. The door'll take care of itself. It ain't your mess to clean up.

[That, and he highly doubts Minako minds having a bit of decent company from home that, you know, actually remembers her. Someone to talk to about girly friendship crap... or whatever it is she talks about with her close female friends—he doesn't want to know, and his imagination is smart enough not to get within three feet of it.]

The demon fighting was a blast, we should do it again sometime.

[...]

Though hopefully not anytime too soon, yeah?

Ahaha, right. Definitely not.

Are you feeling alright now? [She saw how you acted when Charm'd.]

[Damnit Saori; why do you gotta remind him of his burning sister why why why you do this?

He takes a slow breath and a thoughtful pause before he answers.]

I guess? I feel a little bad about nearly plugging that other guy in the face, though, considering I was just spazzing out and shit. I guess I can't really expect him to be too warm around me in future, can I?

[She didn't mean to! Saori's just concerned.]

Don't say that. You were under a Charm spell. You couldn't help acting crazy.

No I mean it's just that I acted crazy for no good reason, you know? If they had-- I mean if what I had saw was real then I'd have done the same thing, I guess.

But at least then I'd have had a reason to do it.
