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?

Not even close to a louse!

You practice sword fighting? I wouldn't have guessed that! :O

What's your persona btw? Incubus?

[She's teasing.]

[ Except he... actually did have Incubus in his potential repertoire. Succubus, too. Not currently, of course, and she doesn't really need to know that, anyway. ]

A little. I used whatever weapon was handy, but I like swords best.

My persona is Messiah.

Messiah? That sounds pretty good, right?

And swords are the best weapon! Only ladels come close to being better! >:D

[She used ladels to subdue a mob full of sword bearers once. Gag manga life, man.]

I guess. It's one I had before, but it's a little different here.

A ladle sounds fun. I've never used one, though. The strangest thing I have seen someone use was a bus stop sign. <('-')>-[ ]O

[ All the smiley faces going around is making him a little more prone to using them... ]

Does that mean your soul is a little different here? :|a

Using a ladle to fight is souper. Get it? xD

And what kinda monster would use a bus stop sign?! That's like something from our A rank fighters! Sid's sword was huge and that was only the same weight as a bass guitar!

[ Unfortunately, bad puns remind him of someone he really doesn't like, so he doesn't respond with any puns of his own. ]

I don't think so but I don't know. I think Philemon just... changed things.

He's not a monster. Just strong.

A rank fighters?

[Damn you chairman. Ruining puns is a pun-forgiveable offence. The worst thing he has ever done.]

At my school you have to collect enough stars by winning enough fights to go up a rank - and we have to use the basic swords until we get to A rank when we can customize them.

Sid-senpai uses a sword as heavy and big as a guitar, which is probably the best example I can think of.

All the other swords are basically katana styled.

[If Ikutsuki ever shows up, then not only the P3 cast but also Jun can punish him!]

I see. I think...

What other benefits come with going up ranks?

[ What kind of a school is this? ]

Hmmm... =|a

50 thousand yen for every star you earn, plus it's fun I guess if you like that sort of thing? Stronger opponenets the higher you climb.

People like me shouldn't go that high because of the strong opponents; I'd get smooshed! \(￣□￣；)>

[A damn lie on both ends. She's strong and she enjoys the hell out of it. What are self esteem issues?]

You can also fight the top brass if you make it into the Shiro-Fuku ranks, the student council.

I'm sure you'd get better as you climbed and be able to hold your own.

[ Constant fighting like that sounds to him like it'd really keep you on your toes, after all. Besides, he's optimistic! ]

What does being on the student council entail?
