[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--

"I see. I remember no such thing. I have met a man in a butterfly mask who commended me on remembering my own name. I do not comprehend very well why. He then said he would bestow upon me the power of 'Persona'. I have yet to see this power in action, however."

I can recommend Mays and the library. I work at both.

[A pause.]

I... would avoid anything in the Taurus district though. Especially Nyx's Nightclub.

[...because he totally doesn't need you to see him in the crossdressing show.]

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh yeah, that guy. I got just about the same message, I think...anyway, I think Personas here come out for the first time when you're in danger.

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh, I don't know. Working at a nightclub might be fun, as long as it's classy.

[Video] [Private]

[linefacingforever]

[Yu raised a hand, waving it frantically.]

N-no, it's not classy at all. It's really a horrible place.

[celebrity_commentator]

Senpai, have you been hanging around dirty nightclubs? Does Yukiko-senpai know about this?

[Video] [Private]

[linefacingforever]

No, I haven't been doing anything dirty!

[...oh that's now what she said. S H I T.]

[Video] [Private]

[celebrity_commentator]

Okay, this is waaaaay to interesting now. What have you been up to?

[...crap. Crap crap crap crap crap, what was he supposed to do!?]

[Action in her apartment]

[celebrity_commentator]

Wow rude, senpai!

[andcarryabigknife]

"This world does not seem very dangerous..." When you transform into a big demon who can easily kill and eat other demons, Hinoto-Ri is pretty tame. "Is there anything in particular I should watch out for?"

[NOT EVEN HERE]

[destinedwaters]

[...Why does she get the feeling that there was someone even MORE awkward about their jobs in Taurus District than she was at this moment...?

More importantly, why did she get the feeling there will be karma in the field of BECOMING THE HUMAN SHIELD?

...Oh well. more dimension, I MEAN social link opportunities 8D]

[all_wound_up]

Nano-chan is fine!

[maybe_a_king]

[At least she realizes how dumb it sounds. Not like Arturia can speak up since she's met weirder things. CoughDivineBeingsWhoKnowThey'reFromVideoGamescough]

I've seen a few other people mention Shadows on the Network. I do not know if the monster that appeared is similar, though many are looking into it. We'll know for sure if they appear monthly on the twenty-first.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, I just got here the other day, so I'm not really sure! There was apparently a big monster last month, though, so you might try asking around. There's also all those warnings about the "Thirteenth Hour", too...

[andcarryabigknife]

"I see... I will do as suggested. As thanks for your help, I will contact you later when I have gathered more information."

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh, uh...thanks!

By the way, what's your name?

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, I guess that means we can be prepared...he dangerous time for people to be over on the other side in my world was whenever it got foggy, so that was a little harder to predict.

[andcarryabigknife]

"My name is Gale. I am a member of the Embryon Tribe. Have you heard of it?"

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, no, but it's still nice to meet you, Gale-san.

[andcarryabigknife]

Gale nodded. "You as well, Rise."

[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?
