[Well, weirdness of her first day here aside, Rise really ought to introduce herself properly.]

[Video]

Heeeey, Hinoto-Ri! I'm new here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Rise Kujikawa, and if you can hear this, just Rise is fine. I'm sixteen and a Gemini, since that's apparently important here!

Uh, more to the point, I'm from a world that already had Personas, even if there were a lot fewer of us who used them. I may be new here, but Kanzeon and I fought Shadows with my friends for months, so if anyone needs someone experienced with analysis Persona, I'm your girl! I've also been told I'm an okay singer and actress, on the off chance that ever comes up.

In exchange, though, can...someone fill me in on what we're supposed to do? I'm all for saving the city and protecting people, but I'm used to a little bit more direction...

[She pauses and thinks, visibly. She might be exaggerating the thinking posture a little.]

Oh, and Yu-senpai? Can you message me back so I can ask you a question? Thanks!

[With that, she smiles cheerfully and the camera moves away from her face.]

This is so much cooler than texting...now where's the off but--

Hey, um. First, I have a question. What do you mean by "analysis Persona?"

[Video]

[celebrity_commentator]

Kanzeon lets me look at the strengths and weaknesses of Shadows while my friends fight on the front lines, and I guess normally it would work on Persona-users too.

Maybe the term for it here is "support Persona", I guess? I've heard that term too.

[second_destiny]

I haven't. But I've only seen a handful of Personas anyway. But wow, that sounds helpful. Kind of like a command center in a battle.

[...there's this feeling of dread crawling up his spine, and he swore he heard Izanagi mutter something about "ollying out". This wasn't going to end well, was it?]

...yes, Rise?

[celebrity_commentator]

So...how long have you and Yukiko-senpai been dating?

[Video] [Private]

[linefacingforever]

[Yep. Doomed.]

I asked her out on Halloween.

[...after convincing her to dress up like the wife of the guy he was dressed as. Yep.]

[maybe_a_king]

There was a giant monster that attacked the city last month. We had to aid the populace and destroy it while, at the same time, many people's own minds were effected by it.

[celebrity_commentator]

Giant monster? Like, just out and around the city? Not inside some other world or something?

[maybe_a_king]

Well, it was during the Thirteenth Hour, from what I understand. Many people think it had to do with the changing over to the Scorpio Zodiac sign and think another may arrive when we change over to Sagittarius.

[Nanako still doesn't browse the network all that often (there are a lot of people, and she still has her moments of shyness) but she heard a familiar voice coming out of Yu's watch in the kitchen and so immediately turned hers on, too.]

Hi, Rise-chan!

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

Nanako-chan~! Hey! How are you?

[video]

[greaterdays]

I'm fine! It's good to see you.

[all_wound_up]

Analysis Persona...? Is that like a support Persona?

[Since that's more or less what she understands hers to be.

Also, ooc note since it's not visible in this icon, but this girl responding to Rise has a big and conspicuously visible wind-up key sticking out of her back.]

Video

[celebrity_commentator]

Yeah, that's another way of looking at it.

...wow, that's a cute outfit!

Video

[all_wound_up]

That's the same kind I have, then.

[Nano smiles, looking a little sheepish but pleased all the same.]

Oh, thank you!

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Oh, hello. How did your spying adventure go Miss? Also, is there a difference between analysis persona and other ones?"

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

I told you, it wasn't spying! It was investigating!

...anyway, it's a support Persona. I guess I should have figured out the technical term here since Personas are so much more common.

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I see, did you come up with any good data on your investigation then?"

"Support, so yours tells you things too?"

[andcarryabigknife]

An impassive figure suddenly appears on the video feed. His hair and eyes are the same colour.

"How does one know what kind of 'persona' one has?"

[Staring impolitely for a second.]

[celebrity_commentator]

[And then getting over it.]

Well, it really just depends on what they can do. Kanzeon isn't much good in a fight, but she can observe things from a distance really well.

[video]

[ihaveanannouncement]

[wow]

Rise? You mean, you're the Rise Kujikawa?

[She may have heard some songs during karaoke or something.]

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

O-oh, you've heard of me?

[For some reason, she hadn't been expecting people from her world who didn't know her already.]

I mean, I guess I am.

[video that's coming a bit late. c: ]

[fools_journey]

[ Yu-senpai... Well, Minato can hazard a guess on where she might be from and who she might have been analyzing shadows for. But wait that name and that voice... Rise Kujikawa... Nah, it couldn't be, except she looks like a dead ringer for a certain pop star. And she says she's been told she's an okay singer and actress. Minato finds himself intrigued. ]

Um... first of all, welcome to Hinoto-Ri. Having more experience persona users can only be a good thing. My name is Minato Arisato, and I believe we are from the same world, though I think I'm from around a year or two earlier than you, if you were part of Yu-san's group.

[ He pauses a moment before asking something he really wants to know! ]

Second... Ah, are you by any chance ... Risette?

[ She looks older than his mental image, and there's no way of knowing if Risette really truly made it as a pop idol after his time, but that name and the similarity... It really does seem worth asking. ]

[celebrity_commentator]

[Well, first time she'd been called that here. First time she'd been called that in a while, really. She has to think for a second before responding, but it's a short, happy second, remembering what she'd learned about herself talking to Yu.]

Yep! You're the first person here to guess that right off! I guess you're right when you say we're from the same world~.

[She then goes back to the rest of what he said...]

A year or two earlier, though? How does that work?
