Hello, everyone! You may have already noticed from the stores, but tomorrow is a holiday called Valentine's Day. I know not everyone is from Earth so I thought that it might be good to explain it.
Valentine's Day started in the West as a religious holiday, but it's turned into a holiday for showing people you love them! In some countries, you mostly give gifts to your girlfriend or boyfriend. In Japan (and Hinoto-ri) though, it's different. On Valentine's Day, women give chocolates to the men they know, and next month, on White Day, the men give gifts in return. Giving a guy fancy chocolates means you really like them! (o⌒.⌒o)♡
[If this were voice, this is where it would turn more serious.] A lot of us are waiting for people to come home, and we don't know how we can help that to happen yet. The people you love the most might not even be in the city at all. But we can still have fun for a day. And who knows... they might even show up tomorrow in time to celebrate.
...Anyway, if there are any girls (or boys, even) who want to learn how to make Valentine chocolates, come stop by the Iwatodai Dorm today. I have some ingredients ready. [attached: directions.txt] And if you have a recipe of your own you want to try, bring what you need and we'll make it, too!
[Action, Iwatodai Dorm]
[As promised, Minako has a good amount of chocolate and related materials getting ready for use. She's got the door to the kitchen open and the stoves working melting the chocolate, but a lot of the ingredients are spread out on the large dining-room table in the lobby. She's not sure how many people will take her offer, after all.
It may seem odd to do all of this when she doesn't even know if her intended chocolate recipients will be home tomorrow. But keeping busy has always been her trademark. When she's focused on other things, or other people, she doesn't have to worry about herself. So really, this level of activity isn't strange at all.]
[Note: Feel free to threadjack in the action part! Everyone probably won't be working individually the whole time, after all.]

[And while she's talking, Minako tastes the chocolate. ...
It's salty.
Very salty. And soy flavored.
But not to the point that it's inedible. Maybe it will go fine with the jerky.] Do you have more of that beef jerky? [Otherwise, she'll have to raid the cupboard and see if Akihiko has any around.]

[ She thinks about it some more while Minako tastes it. Chie might be a little scared to taste it herself.. ]
But since we had Persona's before we got here, does that mean we have some kind of connection to the city that other's don't? [ It was a question she had been thinking about when she learned that EVERYONE had persona's but hadn't thought of a good way to explain it before. ]
No, I put the last of mine in there already.. [ She's a little saddened by that too. ]

[She starts to look through the cabinets as she goes back to the previous discussion.]
I did meet her, but it's not a guarantee that we're from exactly the same world. There's worlds out there that are the same except for some event happening slightly differently.
[It's actually more likely than not, but she's not going to get into the reasons why right now.] Still, between me going to your school and you all going to our school and then what Labrys has said, if our worlds aren't the same the changes are pretty small. Most people who come here don't know about Personas at all. I'm betting all of us who had the power before are from pretty similar parallel timelines, if not the exact same one.
[The problem is that this calls into question whether Hinoto-ri itself is included in that group. That's another idea she doesn't particularly want to bring up.]

Labrys? My friend Rise-chan mentioned her before but I've never met her.. [ But she would be pretty excited to met a robot. ]
Hey that brand! [ Chie is looking over Minako's shoulder as she looks for jerky (she can't help it) and she face lights up when she see's a bag in the cabinet. ] That's my favorite brand! It's super hard to find, I think I bought all of the supplies in my town.
Your senpai has good taste!
