Is there some sort of database containing information about this world? Things people like us have figured out or knew beforehand. I've found scattered bits of information here and there, but something more centralized would help, don't you think?

There's an AI named *Hyun-ae who can answer basic questions about the city. You can access her through the COMP. The library has some information, too, though not as much as you'd expect.

As for things about Philemon and Nyarlathotep... I don't think anyone's thought to make an info post about that so far, but I can try and explain what I know. I've been here since September.

I got the run down about Nyarlathotep from someone who didn't seem too enamored of either them. What do you know about Philemon?

Mostly things I've learned from the same group, actually. Philemon is the one who brought us here and can give people the power of Persona. He represents part of humanity, the part that wants to live and create things. He made a bet with Nyarlathotep over whether humanity would destroy itself or not. That's probably why he's interested in bringing us here.

He has good intentions, but from what I've heard, he's not always great at carrying them out.

Isn't that always the case?

Has anyone here ever met either of them? Besides the people who've met them in their own worlds.

Philemon speaks to everyone when they arrive, but other than that, he sent us a dream before sending some people to visit another world last month.

A lot of people who went there met Nyarlathotep.

But neither have made any appearances outside of those few instances.

[ cool ben can deal with god like figures who expect people to do their bidding while being choosy over who they visit

it's not like he killed the last god like figure who did that to him ]

[minako tried something like that too but it didn't work so well...]

Not that we know yet.

[ Ben was kind of tricked into it. ]

I see.

It's probably wishful thinking on my end to expect there to be much information on these two. Gods can be elusive.

I don't really think they're "gods"... They're created from us and not the other way around, after all. But they're definitely powerful.

[imthegoodguy]

Well, god-like.

You say you've been here since September? What's the city like, then? Anything I should be wary of?

[text]

[greatseal]

Well, besides not going out at midnight unless you want to run into monsters, it's a nice place. Other than that... Sagittarius is the industrial ward and Taurus is the red-light district.

[text]

[imthegoodguy]

Are those really the only two districts of note?

[text]

[greatseal]

You asked for things to be wary of. The other districts are normal outside of the Dark Hour.

Re: [text]

[imthegoodguy]

Well, what shouldn't I be wary of?

Depends what you like to do! Gemini has the mountain, Cancer has all kinds of electronics stores, Virgo has every other kind of store, Scorpio is for the arts and entertainment, and Capricorn is a big park.

A mountain, huh? Seems like the perfect place to relive my old days as a trekker.

[text]

[greatseal]

You used to like mountain climbing?

It was more of a necessity. I live on an island. One that was very hilly and not densely populated.
