[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--

Listen, please don't make a big deal out of this, because then I'm going to make a big deal out of it, and I don't want to because it's immature and completely unfair to Yukiko-senpai and you, and I had a whole speech written up and everything and then I realized that everything I was saying you did for me you also did for Yukiko-senpai before that, and I really should be focusing on this who new world thing and I'm totally making a big deal out of it.

[Deep breath.]

Sorry, senpai. I think I just needed to get that out of my system. I feel better now.

[celebrity_commentator]

But, hey, I didn't mean to start a heavy philosophy conversation when I just got here. What's your name?

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

Tell me about it. Try telling that to a public school history teacher, though.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well...that's a good question. I think my Persona works differently from the ones of people who showed up here without one.

[maybe_a_king]

If it's true. For all we know this particular monster was a standalone incident. Still, some people wish to be on guard just in case.

I take it you've fought such things before, albeit not based on the zodiac? [Seeing as she's from a world where persona already existed and she's fought alongside hers for a few months now.]

"I never got to go to a normal school, so I really don't know anything about them. Well, no, I've seen several animes. That spying mission was on a friend on a date, right? That seems to be a common theme I think."

[Yu stared for a moment, before he smiled faintly.]

It's okay, Rise... thank you.

[all_wound_up]

[Yay, a topic change!]

It's Nano. Nano Shinonome.

[andcarryabigknife]

"How so?" If this world was gonna give him a new power, Gale would learn the ins and outs of it.

[celebrity_commentator]

What we fought were Shadows, monsters that lived in another world inside TV sets.

[This is the look of someone who dares you to point out how dumb that sounds.]

Shadows are parts of people they keep hidden, and the big Shadows were the ones that came out of people who actually went into that world. All of that only existed in the other world, though.

[celebrity_commentator]

It's nice to meet you...

...is Nano-chan okay? You look like a Nano-chan.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, I got mine from accepting my Shadow. The ones here just seem to come out when people are in trouble.

[celebrity_commentator]

Heh...I didn't mean to throw all that at you, but you're still the person I trust the most, you know.

I'm gonna go do some stuff around here...this apartment is kind of depressing-looking.

[celebrity_commentator]

In. Ves. Tigating.

...but yeah, dating is definitely a big deal.

[andcarryabigknife]

"Accepting your Shadow? I am unfamiliar with this concept. Please explain."

Gale could worry about getting in trouble later.

[Video] [Private]

[linefacingforever]

I know.

[That's something that would never change, no matter who he decided to pursue.]

Do you need a hand?

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I see. I never really understood all the fanfare."

[celebrity_commentator]

Well...

[For some reason, it was a lot less comfortable explaining it to this guy, but...]

Basically, in my world, a "Shadow" is a part of yourself you deny or hide from yourself. Mine tried to kill me, but I eventually accepted her, and she became my Persona, Kanzeon. I don't think that happens here, though.

[celebrity_commentator]

I'll be fine. I might need a job after I'm done shopping for it, though, if there's anywhere you'd recommend.

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, when you like someone, you want to be with him as much as possible. Dating's how you do that.

[video]

[electricyousei]

"And as a concerned friend you were just insuring nothing went wrong?"

[video]

[celebrity_commentator]

*sigh*

Yeah, let's go with that.

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I see."
