[After spending some time looking around town, talking with locals, and efficiently gathering information, Fumi's ready to introduce herself to the network.  Except it's not so much an introduction as a combination lecture / interrogation.  She doesn't have time for idle pleasantries - there is a new research topic afoot.  Her face is expressionless as she launches right into her diatribe.]

Persona.

A concept first introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the early twentieth century, described as 'a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.'

[Dry and pedantic, just like she likes it.  Although at this point, her features take on a hint of frustration.]

I have vague memories of having heard this word shortly before waking up in this city, and given the rather abrupt nature of my arrival, I feel safe in assuming the word holds a more significant meaning in this place than would normally be suggested by traditional psychological terminology.  I've also gathered that I'm far from the only person to have arrived in this way, or to have experienced that vague dream upon arrival.

So, Hinoto-Ri, what can you tell me about the Persona phenomenon, and what is the most efficient way to awaken one?  Please make your responses as brief and concise as possible.  I may have found my next research topic.

[...

O-Okay, just. Give him a moment. HE ACTUALLY ACHIEVES HIS DREAM IN ONE TIMELINE AT LEAST AND KAITO CHOSE HIM AHAHAHAH!

Ahem.]


I... see. It is nice to hear that I achieved my dream in at least one timeline. My own was sadly not as fortuitous.

[So happy Yamato was, that he either ignored, or was oblivious to Fumi's little moment, and merely sighed in response]

Yes. They wished for an egalitarian society. I attempted to prevent it, but I was defeated - and subsequently killed.

[Death by tower. Urgh, he still got antsy whenever he was at the base of particularly tall buildings. It had not been a pleasant death in the slightest]

drakenguard: (hmph)

Hrm. No doubt he refused to back down. A fitting end, I suppose.

[He respected Kuriki for his determination and drive, but otherwise, well, if he lost and was killed, then he wasn't going to spare it any further thought]

In any case, you are the only one to hail from such a world. The others... either sided with Alcor, or took a different path.

It's entirely possible. Many powerful beings have delusions of being more important than they are.

It's...weird. [WELL hey at least they had the same name for sir bunnyhood, that made life easy.] Kaito, Yamato and I have been here at least for-- six months? Give or take. Saiduq's been here too, but whenever someone new shows up, it's like time hasn't passed at all back home. Or we're from some weird alternate timelines-- did you know Yamato knew a Kaito who was named Hiro instead? And in some other one he was named Hibiki.

Uh, yeah, you know-- Alcor, the last Septentrione guy with white hair that was always talking to Kaito. The guy who made Nicaea.

[...] Uh, unless you don't know him...

[universes were hard.]

[he's not that dumb come on he's trying!!!!]

Oh. Uh-- that's what he wanted us to call him when we teamed up with him. In my universe, Kaito teamed up with Alcor and made a plan to take down Polaris and make a new administrator.

You're young. You still have time to go beating up godlike beings.

[Unsurprisingly. Considering the most likely method, Miyako knows Fumi can take care of herself.]

When you do, report what kind of Persona it is.

Oh...well I...

[If that's what people do, then she should share something more. But this lady rubs her the wrong way. It's hard to tell if she's trustworthy.]

Standing out in the open is efficient enough as long as you have someone to help if it fails and you're surrounded by daemons.

A damn old fart.

sorry for the delay

I'm happy to be of help.

[And obviously well-informed people are more useful than uninformed ones. That's just common sense.]

It shouldn't be, but given everything that happened at home you may need to hold back to get into a situation like that.

We beat them, of course! We stopped Ronaldo and Yamato, made it all the way to Polaris' throne and kicked its ass!
