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?

[Hmm...]

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

I was recruited to S.E.E.S. by Mitsuru when I was in middle school. The Kirijo Group spotted that I had the potential. I'm still not sure how.

It wasn't as traumatic an awakening as some have had. I was warned about what could happen when I was given the evoker, but it still took some getting used to.

[For now, he'll be omitting the reasons as to why he's fairly certain he had the potential in the first place. Shinji knows. Mitsuru knows. He suspects that Minato and Minako would both understand the situation far better than he once thought they might, but if that's the case, then he's sure Minako understands that some things are just too difficult to talk about.

Unless, of course, she already knows. ... he hadn't considered that. How close had their friendship been, on her side of the coin?]

[To be honest... she does know. If she knew Minato didn't, she would probably feel a little worse about the knowledge. It's already awkward knowing more about her senpai than they do about her... like she'd stalked them without their permission.]

I'm glad it wasn't too stressful on you, though.

I got lucky. I know others have had it worse.

So you like volleyball? I should have guessed you were an athlete.

[The opportunity to get to know her better, even a little bit at a time, is not one to be passed up.]

[She's going to filter this now... not because her interests are sensitive or anything but because of where the conversation might lead. Having to explain alternate universes to her own friends is one thing... but she'd rather everyone else she meets assumes she and Minato are a normal pair of siblings.]

Yeah, I was on the volleyball team. I had to keep active, or Tartarus would be trouble, you know?

Sounds like you took it pretty seriously. You must have been a good leader.

[Not that he doubted, but you know, he's trying to fit all of the pieces together.]

Did we ever do any training together? I've always been a fan of running with a partner, I can't help wondering if that's the same on your side.

[greatseal]

Yeah, we'd go running sometimes. Sometimes with Koromaru, too... [even though Koromaru had more energy than the both of them.]
