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?

[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

[canteachyoumore]

[t-there's more!! takoyaki is definitely one the biggest though.

and he tried so hard for your heart, master minako...]

I would not be surprised if she does. A reporter must look into every situation, if I'm not mistaken.

I have been doing well and plan to pay a visit to my master by the end of this week. With luck, I will be able to answer any questions concerning your bonds and Persona as well as my role outside of the Velvet Room by the time I return. It has been difficult to get used to living outside of it, as well as feeling time move as it had when you and I went out at my behest, and sleep is not an easily gained concept.

[he would like to try "dreaming", as the little lady Elizabeth made it sound so enjoyable with tea parties and sugar.]

I'm glad you have been well. [If only that'd been voiced. There's only so much affection and whatnot that can be seen through text.]

[greatseal]

[shouldn't have broken up with her after one night then....

but don't worry she will always think he's cute]

That's good to hear! I hope I'll be able to talk to him, too... I have some questions of my own.

...You've been having trouble sleeping?

[canteachyoumore]

[if he didn't have to return to his duty where he could help her more than anyone could wish, he would have stayed by her side far, far longer...

-- no please think he is handsome!!!]

Of course. He will be very pleased to hear from one of his former guests, I'm sure, and especially one such as yourself.

It is one matter that denizens of the Velvet Room do not require sleep such as those outside, and another entirely that I am not used to being outside for so long. We don't get sick either, yet I feel ill...

[he's terribly homesick.]

[greatseal]

[cute like a little golden retriever puppy wearing a blue suit!!

...but now she's just worried about him.]

That's not good at all, Theo! You need to take care of yourself!

[canteachyoumore]

[oh no he can even hear her disapproval from the text how awful!]

Yes, Master Minako. I will be sure to in the coming days, even if I must force unconsciousness onto myself in order to sleep.

[maybe you should just tire him out--]

[greatseal]

[what.....]

No, don't force it! Just sleep if you feel like you're tired, okay? [She's really not sure about how velvet attendant biology works, but she's getting an image of him hitting himself with a hammer or something and that's really terrible.

also don't tempt her sob]

[canteachyoumore]

[elizabeth would have that idea and approve of it, and poor theodore would bear with it because "big sister knows best" as she would say--]

Of course, that is what I intended to do. The city offers many revenues that allow one to expend their energy in a timely manner and I will take advantage of it until I can sleep as peacefully as you do.

[like the taurus sector. or ddr.]

[greatseal]

[just go with ddr....]

Good luck with that then, Theo. ...And don't let Elizabeth-san choose all the ... revenues.

[canteachyoumore]

[he will become the best dancer.]

She seemed quite interested in the Taurus sector, where they have a district built merely for the intent of housing lights colored red for whatever reason, but I am uninterested in it. In one of the sections of the city, the Gemini if I am not mistaken, the mountain is quite pretty... Yet there feels something off about it.

[personally it feels like how her school was when it transformed into tartarus, but he doesn't want to speak about it formally until he's gotten his proof. it would be unwise otherwise.]

[greatseal]

[let's not comment on Taurus...]

I haven't been up the mountain yet. Minato and I walked around most of the other districts though.

[guidemethroughit]

[THEO THEO]

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

[canteachyoumore]

[wh YOU ARE MAKING HIM LOSE CONCENTRATION IN ANSWERING MINAKO GO BUG SOMEONE ELSE]

The is plenty of "spunk" in my emoting icons, sister... (♉︵♉)ﾉ" Please do not hesitate to speak with others as well.

[guidemethroughit]

[NO]

Do not be so dour! （ ＾∇＾）█）゜д゜）

[canteachyoumore]

[PLEASE THIS IS NOT HOW VELVET ROOM RESIDENTS ACT IN PUBLIC THEY MUST SHOW OFF A PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC


wow he can't even think that they were always strange acting in public.]

I am not! [urg it's like she's really beside him and pushing her book into his face. he even has to make sure she's not by patting his cheek.] I am merely countering your implication that my emoting icons are not as "spunky" as yours.

[you made him upset look there's not even one here. upset and serious is when he drops them.]

[guidemethroughit]

[you're so bad at this theo

so bad]

They aren't! [if she lived closer she would do so. why are you so far away, little brother.] Perhaps if you added a few hearts? ♥♥♥?

[canteachyoumore]

[for his own safety.]

Hearts? Why would I need to use hearts?

[guidemethroughit]

They make your emoting faces much cuter, like so: (n˘v˘•)¬~♥♥♥

You are now throwing them to what little adoring fans you must certainly have! Or perhaps these are the ones you have stolen, since you and Margaret are most certainly lacking in such a thing.

[canteachyoumore]

(*￣m￣) ♥?

I don't see how this changes the face itself, and I haven't stolen any hearts... And the temperature of the room doesn't require fans.

[he had quite the amount of admirers when he visited the school, though.]

[guidemethroughit]

Then try this: (♥3♥)

[canteachyoumore]

(♥3♥)?

What does the '3' symbolize?

[guidemethroughit]

It is a mouth, obviously. It looks as if you are out to kiss someone.

~*~*~(♥3♥)(♥ε♥)~*~*~

[THIS IS NOT REALLY HERE.]

[fools_journey]

I fixed it.

( ︶ー︶)
( ♥)( ♥)

[SCREECHES THANK GOD IT'S NOT HE LIKES MINATO]

[canteachyoumore]

[you rude how are you and master minako even related.]
