[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--

It was certainly a big surprise. I was actually afraid of mine at first.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, yeah, I figured...

Wait, battleship?

[Deflection successful. Senpai may be the sci fi nerd of the group, but Rise has a natural inclination toward fangirling in general.]

[celebrity_commentator]

Aww! Well, they're a part of us, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

[all_wound_up]

There was a lot going on at the time, but now I realize he was just trying to protect me.

[celebrity_commentator]

Right! I'm glad to hear it.

It was kind of awkward for me too, come to think of it, but we got our Personas differently in my world than people seem to here.

"The one in the park. The one you can see from the train. I'm actually working on setting it up to be able to do things more useful here since there isn't much call for its primary duties."

[greaterdays]

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

Last I checked, they aren't called "Jungian slips."

Field commanders always have interesting quirks. You should have met my field commander before I got promoted. He was one hell of a guy.

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?"

[all_wound_up]

How did you get yours? Mine came out when I was being attacked...

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

I'm glad to hear it, and it's good to see you too! Is senpai taking care of you?

[Stupid question, she knows, but politeness.]

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

That's an actual...what, spaceship? I thought it was some kind of decoration. That's amazing!

[celebrity_commentator]

Ooh, was he...

[Wait, guessing based on TV shows would be stupid.]

I mean, what was he like?

[celebrity_commentator]

Er, well...you know how everyone has something or other about themselves they try to keep a secret?

[celebrity_commentator]

[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.

"No, its from home. I don't think it could go into space in its current condition, but its comfortable enough to stay in and can slowly move over town if I need it to."

[second_destiny]

A maverick. He was a pain in the ass for Command. But I've never met a CO who cared more about his subordinates. Even if he did like teasing us as much as he could.

[celebrity_commentator]

[...wow, she should have guessed based on TV shows.]

I see. It's got to be nice to have someone like that in the army.

[second_destiny]

Yeah...it was.

[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]

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.

[Video] [Private]

[celebrity_commentator]

I see. You really have been here for a while, then...

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

That's still really cool! We only have things like that on TV back home.

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Well, what year was it back home?"
