[Hey it's one of those newcomers on the Network today! This particular girl is sitting with perfect posture, dipping her head in a polite bow to the camera.]

Hello, my name is Aoi Misato. I'm sorry for not formally introducing myself before, but it took me a few days to settle in.

According to the news report that recently went out, we will be allowed to participate in the Grand Prix, correct? I'm interested in joining the competition, but to do that I would need to practice first. I still haven't awakened my... Persona yet, so I will have to rely on my own abilities instead.

[She continues without even missing a beat, completely glossing over that small stumble. She's obviously used to speaking publicly.]

I will be in the Capricorn district, so if anyone is willing to be a sparring partner, I would be extremely grateful.

[A small pause here. She can practically hear half of her friends from home scolding her for this, but...]

I also have noticed that I am exempt from curfews due to being a visitor. I was thinking of patrolling at night - does anyone have advice for dealing with the demons at that time? There was a... similar situation where I come from, so I would like to do what I can to help here as well.

Thank you for your time.

[Action; Capricorn]

[And sure enough, Aoi is indeed in the Capricorn district, dressed in a hakama and armed with a naginata. With no current sparring partner, she is instead practicing strikes on an invisible opponent. She definitely has the technique down, if nothing else.]

[ indeed. She'll find an 8 foot tall giant in war-plate, carrying a huge saw-toothed sword waiting for her. ]

[Wow okay yeah that is pretty alarming.

But she gets her expression under control quickly enough, swapping a look of surprise for a gentle smile as she bows.]

Thank you for coming all this way.

You're welcome.

[ He booms from his voxcaster. ]

Do you require a blade?

No, I have one of my own.

[She'd carried it in its cloth case, but in no time at all she's unslung the bag and pulled her trusty naginata out. Once it's in her hands, she quickly gets into stance.]

I am ready when you are.

[ He steps in with a brutal overhand blow, clearly testing her guard. ]

[As it turns out, her guard is quite good. Just... not necessarily in the way he may expect.

With a look of concentration, red lines appear over her body as she creates a barrier to protect herself from the blow.]

SORCERY!

[ Garviel booms, stopping all motion and looking incredibly angry. ]

[She's so startled by his sudden reaction, the marks and the barrier fade immediately.]

...? Is there something wrong?

You used sorcery.

[ He snarls, looking almost like a caged animal for a moment. ]

Sorcer- [Well, that's a way of putting it. She does however give a small shake of the head. Her voice remains calm; maybe if she can keep her cool, this man will be able to relax as well?]

...It's the power of the dragon stream. I'm sorry, I was hoping to train at using it in battle, but if you would prefer I didn't...
