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.

[delinquentkun]

And what if they're not invited to hang out in the first place?

[greatseal]

Why wouldn't you invite them?

1/2

[delinquentkun]

They're a giant pain in the ass is why.

2/2

[delinquentkun]

And 'cause they show up at the worst possible times. Like when I'm busy with other stuff. S'like I don't even need to invite 'em.

[greatseal]

[hmm....] They must really like spending time with you!

[delinquentkun]

[ He's so grateful this isn't video. He can hide his embarrassed reaction much easier. ]

Well who can blame them, really? I'm pretty great. (︶ω︶)

Only one of them showed up here, though. I guess I'm safe for now.

[greatseal]

[wow so modest....]

That just means you have plenty of time to make some new friends!

[delinquentkun]

[ He's even more modest in person. ]

Maybe I'll give that a shot.

I'm Shinagawa Daichi, btw. This is my first time havin a Persona.

[greatseal]

It's nice to meet you! I'm Minako, like I said... How do you prefer to be called?

[because she's not quite sure if he's older than her or not...]

[delinquentkun]

Just Shinagawa is fine.

Wait. How old're you? 'Cause Shinagawa-senpai might be more appropriate.

I'm 18, jsyk.

[greatseal]

I'm 17... so I guess it would be senpai, if we were in the same school or club.

[which they aren't. So in other words, give her a good reason why she should call you that.]

[delinquentkun]

Hey, I'm just used to it is all.

Maybe if you do actually start a club for something that doesn't suck then I'll join.

[ Delinquent + tsun + jerk = a special kind of friendly. ]

[greatseal]

[unfortunately she tends to gravitate to the hard to get.]

What kind of club would you like, then?

[delinquentkun]

Depends. I'm a man of many talents.

But I've never played volleyball. So not that. (｀ε´)

[greatseal]

How about singing? I've already got a group planning to go to karaoke...

That's probably not really club material, though.

Did you play any sports?
