[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.]

A sparring partner? I might be willing to assist.

Whoa, hey, I think you might be a bit too eager for this. Getting involved in the tournament without a Persona is a bad idea.

That would be wonderful. Would you mind meeting me in the park at Capricorn, sir...?

Cerberus. My name is Cerberus.

I know it might be dangerous, but I think I can handle it. I might not look like it, but I've had experience with combat before.

[Private]

Also, I want to be nearby in case something happens. If the Anoli do try to attack the mayor, I want to be there to help protect him.

Cerberus. It's nice to meet you.

I'll be waiting there, if you don't mind.

Very well. Try not to be alarmed by my appearance.

[Considering the level of priority this particular mission has, she's going to keep quiet on the tournament for now--this sort of thing is on a need-to-know basis.

However, that's not going to stop her from giving a helping hand.]

Rule of thumb when heading out during the 13th Hour...or any other late hour, in fact: don't go alone.

There's no telling what could go after you during that time.

[That's an odd request, but... She nods.]

Alright.

[Doot doot doot action is go?]

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

I'd heard there were all sorts of demons. I think if it's possible, I would like to have a group. But if not...

[She might just try to go out alone. Please stop 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.

I'm going to be blunt here--that's just asking for something to kill you.

[Sure, there's that awesome awakening part that comes with the danger, but it's no game.] If you're gonna go out there that late, wait for a friend. [...] Or if you'd like, I can tag along with you when I can.

But none of my friends are here with me...

[She brightens at the last bit, however.]

It's not too inconvenient for you?

You're welcome.

[ He booms from his voxcaster. ]

Do you require a blade?

It's no problem at all. Just give me a time and I'll come along.

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.

Would tonight be too soon?

[That earns an amused chuckle.] Are you kidding? I've dealt with tighter schedules.

Then if you don't mind, I would like to try for then. Do you know of a good place where we could meet beforehand?

[Asem keeps the feed on private.]

Doesn't mean fighting them will be easy. What can you do?

[ Well. Rose was happy about the idea of Kanaya making new friends, so if someone is introducing themselves then this should be easy and good for practice. ]

Hello, Aoi. My name is Kanaya. It is nice to meet you.

[ ...And that is that. She sucks at this. She knows. ]

Ah, if it's like the small tournament they held in October, you will be limited to only using your persona during the fight...

But mm, welcome to Hinoto-Ri, Misato-san. My name is Minato Arisato, and I hope you continue to settle in comfortably. I may be able to help answer any questions about Personas you might have...

I've been trained in the use of a naginata.

[There's a hesitation here. Since the scenario is so similar, there isn't really a need to hide anything. But at the same time, it's... strange, talking about her power to someone uninvolved with the demons in Tokyo.]

...Also, I have... powers.

[Although she is initially surprised by Kanaya's appearance, she does her best to mask it behind an elegant smile. She seems friendly enough at least.]

It's nice to meet you too, Kanaya. Have you been here long?
