Hello everyone! ＼（＾∀＾） I hope you've all settled in well!

My name's Minako Arisato. I've talked to a few of you already, but for everyone else, it's nice to meet you!

Now that things have calmed down a little I was wondering - how many of us were Persona-users before coming to Hinoto-ri? I think it might be good to meet and compare notes if we haven't yet, see what's the same and what's changed. And maybe we could also make a list of people with experience who can help with answering questions or training, or things like that! Just jumping into using a Persona can be pretty daunting...

For everyone else - what do you usually do for fun? Some of the things I like are music, volleyball, cooking... If we have enough people who like the same things, maybe we could even form a club! I wouldn't mind having someone to play volleyball with again. Or to go out to karaoke! (ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪

Anyway, that's all for now!


[added private text to Shinjiro]

Can I come over later?

Usually I kick back and relax with a game or a movie, or somethin. What more could a guy want? Not that I've got any of that stuff here...

[ Leaving aside the fact that one of his most frequent haunts is an empty cubicle in a high school bathroom for a moment. ]

Does spendin time with my loser dork friends count as doin something for fun if it’s usually more trouble than it’s worth?

[greatseal]

I think it counts. Although I usually don't think my friends are too much trouble, either.

[private text]

[themortalhalf]

Yeah, if you want.

When?

[private text]

[greatseal]

[Not even a protest. That's a good start.]

Maybe after dinner?

Or we could get something and bring it back...

[electricyousei]

Are you experienced with these persona things? I... Are they necessary?

Other than that, I have access to a karaoke machine.

[greatseal]

I'm not sure about the situation here yet, but back home, they were. Only a Persona was effective against the enemies we had to fight.

...You own a karaoke machine? [that's a pretty big piece of equipment to have lying around...]

[fools_journey]

For reference for anyone else looking at this page, my name is Minato Arisato, and I was also a Persona-user before coming to Hinoto-ri.


Also a karaoke club would be fun.

[greatseal]

[She stops herself from saying "You like karaoke too??" right where everyone can read it. Their family history is something she'd rather not explain to people who aren't from home...]

Mm, I think so too! It's all right alone, but it's much more fun with a big group.

[Minako, normal people don't go to karaoke alone at all...]

[jundere]

Hey hey :P My name is Jun Kuga; I didn't have a persona before I got here but now I have one like most people! Mine is Succubus and I first called it out during my first mission!

It was freaky, let me tell you! :OOO

For fun, though? I sometimes practice sword fighting, since I'm supposed to for school. I'm not great at it but I'm not awful, know what I mean?

[Lies. She is great at it and she does it because she loves it. Life with some self esteem issues is tough.]

Oh and btw I'm a ninja! boo!

[fools_journey]

[ Oh hey, someone has decided to jack comments on his sister's entry. Mostly he's just been scanning them because he, too, is curious about persona users with past experience, but he recognizes the name and therefore feels the need to pop in with a quick comment. ]

Definitely not a louse. :)

And sword fighting is fun. [ He's okay at it. But he used it to fight shadows, not people... ]

[text]

[greatseal]

Wow! A real ninja?

Does that mean you go to a school for ninjas?

[she guesses sword fighting would be a good ninja skill...]

[universebeware]

I build things.

[greatseal]

[That's... the giant robot, isn't it?]

What kinds of things do you like building the most?

text / this is TOTALLY LEGIT

[guidemethroughit]

Forgive me for not addressing your question, however I should like to know how to make those incredibly absurd and cute faces.

[greatseal]

[She idly wonders how long it will be before Theo is trying them out as well...]

It's easy!

Just use ( and ) for the cheeks and then add eyes, arms, and a mouth! ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ

There's lots of ways to do it. (✿◠‿◠)

[canteachyoumore]

[okay okay THEODORE HAS GOT THIS

HE KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS watch his mastery, minako!!! be wooed!!!]

I have met one other of the arrivals who is familiar with Persona, and she has even met my master's master once before.

( ︶ー︶) A charming young lady by the name of Maya.

[... as for things he enjoys, she knows that.]

[greatseal]

[dumping coins into fountains, takoyaki, being trolled.... yep.

...him trying to use emoticons is so adorable. so, no she's not wooed.]

I haven't met Maya-san yet! Maybe she'll reply here soon?

How have you been, Theo? ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ

[guidemethroughit]

[THEO THEO]

You must have more spunk to your emoting icons, Theo! ヾ(>ヮ<ヾ ) Come!

[THIS IS NOT REALLY HERE.]

[fools_journey]

I fixed it.

wats kareoke

also i played in ths forest alot when i was little

sometimes i visit lon lon ranch when i ned a little brek

i dont really hav much tiem to do things for fun tho

i had to save the world and stuff

[Voice]

[greatseal]

[you made a valiant effort, Link!

But she switches to voice just for you.]

Karaoke is a place you go to sing! There's a machine that plays music and shows the words on the screen while you sing along. It's a lot of fun, especially with other people.

What's Lon Lon Ranch like? [She'll touch on the world-saving later...]

[risetocaesar]

You can count me in to help people adjust and learn to use their Personas. It know it definitely wasn't easy to get a handle on it when I first started.

[Text]

[greatseal]

[Hmm...]

You never did tell me that much about when you first got your Persona, Senpai...

[Text]

[itswhoopasstime]

I've been a Persona-user for awhile, and have spent my share of time in the Velvet Room. If there's anything I can do to help, please, let me know!

I'm not sure if we've met yet -- I talked to a lot of people when we first arrived. Maya Amano! It's a pleasure to meet you.

Also, I love karaoke. Sign me up!

[Text]

[greatseal]

Hello, Maya-san! We haven't talked, but Theo was telling me about you. It's nice to meet other guests of the Velvet Room!

It sounds like we might have a whole group for karaoke now. (⌒▽⌒)☆

[empressive]

If you manage to compile a list of previous users, would it be too much to ask to see it? I agree we should be meeting each other, and even discuss these differences in summoning them.

[greatseal]

[Oh, Mitsuru... businesslike as usual.]

Of course, Senpai... I wouldn't leave you out of anything.

[text]

[clusteringstars]

[Well, she already knows he wasn't a Persona-user before coming here, so that leaves him the hobbies question to ponder...]

Riding and dueling.

[There are also some other things, which are technically his job more than "fun"... but he enjoys them on similar level, so he decides to mention them nonetheless.]

Working on electronics and programming, if that counts.

[text]

[greatseal]

...Dueling? Like with swords?

[...actually she's imagining a medieval joust, now. You definitely don't look like someone from the middle ages...]

[Text]

[linefacingforever]

You already know I was before coming here, Senpai.




[[ooc; wow, so much fail. I trolled this before, and didn't even read the contents. =_=]]

[Text] LMFAO

[greatseal]

Right! And would you be willing to help out any beginners who need it?
