3. [Text, locked to the Network]

[greatseal]

Hello, everyone! ＼(=^‥^)/’

I have a request for the Network today. I don't know if there's enough time for this before the tournament, but I fight with a naginata and it's really conspicuous to just carry around. Since we have some great engineers here, I was wondering if someone would be able to design a naginata that could fold up or retract to fit into a handbag. I'll pay you for the trouble, of course.

And also in exchange - Well, not really in exchange, because this part is open to everyone! But the tournament uses Evokers, which is a pretty different style of Persona-summoning from usual. I use an Evoker normally, so if anyone would like to practice with one, or practice with a Persona in general, I'd be glad to help out! I'll be down in the Capricorn ward if you'd like to meet me there.

And, that's all I have for today. Thanks for reading!

If a lot of people want to practice, I can offer my Evoker, too.

[greatseal]

Thanks, Minato!

[though really she was going to 'volunteer' his if it came to that even if he didn't say something first...] Do you want to come and help out for a while?

I'll have a word with Ferrus. Still, a handbag is a little small.

[greatseal]

Yeah, but if it's too big it'll be just as obvious as carrying a normal one around.

Like with Minato, if you receive too many offers for Evoker training, I can volunteer my expertise as well.

Thanks, senpai! That's a great help, since you definitely have the most experience out of all of us.

Do you think your Evokers would make it possible to summon a Persona for the first time? It's been about a month and I still haven't really gotten anywhere...

[greatseal]

We can definitely try!

The Evoker looks like a gun that you point at your head, though. Will you be okay with using that?

[maybe_a_king]

I've been remiss in training my persona as well as my body. If you would be willing to assist me I would be much obliged, Miss.

[greatseal]

Then I'd be happy to help! Are you free right now.

You going to sign up for the tournament?

[greatseal]

I haven't decided yet.

Why, do you have an opinion on it?

[poweryetunknown]

Why does it have to be a gun?

[It could be anything else. But why a gun. 8( ]

[greatseal]

The psychological effect, probably. And the way that it's used.

[Sticking a box or something to your head would be more unwieldy... And a collar like Koromaru has would be even worse.]

It's a pity that you don't have a recipe card or an appropriate synthesis venue, Minako--otherwise, I would be happy to assist you.

While I'm not sure if I'm interested in participating in a tournament, I am curious about Evokers. Are you booked for the day, or is the offer still open?

[text]

[greatseal]

....Synthesis venue? [what are you talking about Cloche...]

Of course, it's still open. I don't have that many interested people yet.

[eyewillprotect]

I fight with a naginata as well. I usually just carry it in its case, but... If someone comes to you with a solution, I would like to hear about it too, if it's not too much trouble.

[greatseal]

Of course, I'll let you know! What's your name? I'm Minako Arisato.

[celebrity_commentator]

Evwhat now?

[greatseal]

Evoker! It looks like a gun and it's a tool for summoning your Persona.

[universebeware]

A folding weapon like that would be quite simple to craft. If you're serious about it, come by my workshop with this bag you wish to carry it in.

[Text]

[greatseal]

Really? That would be great! Thank you so much! When would be a good time to stop by?

[This is the first really positive response, so she's pleased. also, giant talking robot up close...]

[nyxterious]

A naginata? Wow! I wouldn't expect you to use a weapon like that, Minako-chan.

It's nice that you're helping everyone out. I didn't even think about how much an evoker could help with summoning.

[greatseal]

Oh, why not? It has good speed and range.

Some people have asked about using it to help awaken their Personas, so I hope it will work out for that. I don't see why it shouldn't, though!

[risetocaesar]

It's hard to imagine a naginata that small. Has anyone turned up yet that might be able to do it?

[text]

[greatseal]

I'd say it wouldn't be possible with our technology, but if they could build Aigis... But either way, there's lots of people here from the future and outer space, right? I've gotten a couple of offers.
