02 - [Video]
[This...is going to be a problem.]
[He was curious, really, to hang around until the 13th hour came along, and had been quite shocked by the enormous amount of monsters hanging around. So shocked that he was quite unprepared for when they started attacking- he thought he'd find a way to avoid them, honestly. And just when he was cornered...it had finally come out. His Persona.]
[And honestly, he wasn't too surprised. Not even scared, really, he's seen worse. His Persona is himself, isn't it? But this would pose a problem if he showed it to other people, because that would be going and showing them something very deep and personal that might turn them against him. No, he has to turn this into an advantage, a way to get people to pity him and go on his side.]
[And he knows exactly how to get that to happen.]
[The video turns on, and the first thing one hears is the rather terrified and stammering voice of one (1) Sam Erstwhile.]
This-this is really not okay! I mean, it's my birthday today, I really didn't need this as a birthday present!
[The guy seems to be on the verge of fainting, he's so pale. It's oddly dark behind him, even though it's morning...]
I-I...listen, is it possible to just refund a Persona? That's possible, right? Because...mine is a freakin' abomination, and I'm not really sure I want it. How come all of you get the cool ones and I get the one that looks like it feeds on little kid's nightmares??
[And then the darkness behind him moves, and what looks to be like a dark tentacle rests on Sam's shoulder. Sam shudders, letting out a slight whimper, as the skull-like face of his Persona drops down into view.]
[Looks like Sam wasn't kidding about that abomination stuff at all.]
They said having a Persona was a good thing. They said you'd love it, and that it'd help you, and...ugh, this isn't what I was expecting at all!
[And he buries his face in his trembling hands. He really looks like he's going to have a nervous breakdown over this.]
Happy birthday to me...

[video] oh shoot i totally messed up on that last tag
Oh, yeah, um...
[He's slipping over his words, and he takes a minute to get his thoughts back together.]
Because where I come from, we don't have personas! So, it's really interesting to meet people who had them where they came from.
[video] It's fine! I wondered if that's what you meant, but wasn't sure.
So that's what he meant.]
A few of us had 'em. Not that many, not like here.
[video] serves e right for rping in the wee hours of the morning
[video]
There's not really an explanation for it. We just discovered we had 'em, and learned how to bring them out. Not much else.

Did you all have the 13th hour where you came from, too? With the demons and all?
