Hey, everyone. Uh, hey, Visitors? Am I doin' this right?

[The voice that's playing is that of a rough-sounding young man, and one who sounds a bit stressed at that.]

So. From what I've heard... you guys are all Persona users, right? Brought here to help protect this place? Still havin' a hard time believing it, but - guess there ain't any point in denyin' what I'm seein', huh.

I just wanna let ya know ... if anyone ever needs any backup or anythin' like that... [the next bit comes out in a rush, loud and forceful-] oh, just gimme a call, okay? I've done this crap before. I'm - [and he pauses for a moment, picking his words.] Uh...

I'm here to help. I want to help.

So... lemme know, okay?

[Pause. As if an afterthought-]

...An' does anyone have any tips for people who've just got here? This city's kinda crazy...

[Throughout the day, a rather confused looking young man in concealing clothing that looks like it's got to be too hot for the weather can be seen wandering through the city, trying to get his bearings. Damn. He never was good at navigation... but he'll get this place mapped soon enough? Won't he?]

stridercentric

[It's been over four months since Bro had that unfortunate incident with Jack Noir in the Medium. Four months since he arrived in Hinoto-Ri, because apparently that's the only damn place he gets to go. From one monster-ridden videogameish hellhole world into the next.

What sucks most about Hinoto-Ri is that there's a severe lack of Striders. In fact, ever since his alternate universe teenage self left, the city's gone even further below the minimum of required Strider. He knows Dave can take care of himself, considering Bro taught him pretty damn well, but there comes a time in every dude's life where he misses his family.

Especially when said family is prooobably still stuck in a monster-ridden videogameish hellhole. Lil Cal's a great bro and all, but talking to yourself can get old after a while.]

so.

you guys all have family back home right? siblings and parents and annoying aunts who like to pull your cheek even though youve grown to be twice their size? grannies who send you itchy socks for christmas each year?

so tell me about 'm. who do you miss most?

would you have 'm here if you could?

deathboss

I miss Paris...murders aside, it was quite an interesting trip!

Oh la la, it was the height of fashion, oui oui?

[Eikichi you are terrible at this.]

suppliesgadgets

[Suddenly Q's face appears on a message addressed to the Visitor's only network, and he seems both quite pleased and very serious. Which, means it's no doubt important.]

Hello everyone. Please pay attention to what I'm about to tell you, as I believe we've tracked down Miss McGonagall's signature.

[He taps the scene behind him and you can tell he's in the MAGI building. Scientists are scrambling with machines and in the center you can spy the Shining Trapezohedron.]

Now the process of getting her back is another issue entirely, as we'll need a few of you to go forth and rescue her from this world. We've determined that it doesn't appear hostile. Let me show you...

[Someone pushes a simple mirror behind him and a beam of the crystal hits it, showing an entire other world. Those who come from earth might recognize the building behind as the Eiffel Tower.]

Stuck in Paris.

[He shakes his head sadly.]

The poor woman.

[The mirror gets moved again and it disappears entirely.]

Quite ingenious isn't it? A simple mirror allows us to peek into this world without going in. Moreover, it allows us to determine that a few of you have particularly strong Strings for this journey. And while your participation is not required, it would aid us greatly.

Well then, for those of you who are interested, please meet us in one hour in the MAGI building. If you have questions...do wait until then, as we're quite busy.

[The feed cuts off, but feel free to send him a message anyway.]

jonathandammit

[Hello, this is Jonathan, otherwise known as 'that one guy with poodle hair' or 'fairies permeate every aspect of my life'. Yeah, that guy.

In any case.]

Excuse the sudden contact, but I seem to have lost one of my demons. [Yes, being 'Lost' is a legit status ailment in SMT4. It's totally possible, okay, wind spells are nasty shit.] Her name is Lailah, and I've been looking for her scrupulously the last few days, but I haven't been able to locate her.

I've attached a picture of her to this broadcast as well. If you see her, could you inform me? [...Maybe he took so long to put up this notice because he didn't know how to attach the picture...] She'll be noticeably more civil than any other demons you encounter. Thank you very much, and sorry again for the trouble.

lailah.png

[By the way, if you frequent the Tauros District at the 13th Hour, you might actually find her at... Shiroku Pub. And seemingly having befriended a Lilim.

Apparently, Hinoto-Ri is a great place to gain some actual independence...? Some angel...

(You may inform Jonathan of Lailah's whereabouts, in which you will gain his thanks IN EXCHANGE FOR HER FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS. Do you really have it in you... since when did angels have individual freedom, anyway?)]

aurathread

[It's been bothering him more and more lately, even though he's tried to push away his old memories. It doesn't seem to matter here, but... he still has to ask. He's just glad there's an anonymous text function on this thing.]

So I've been wondering. Does being a guy or girl change anything in your world? Like, do they get treated differently? Do some people not want one or the other? What do they do if they get a kid of the gender they don't want?

Don't get stupid and start flame wars or something here. I'm just asking.

[That should do it.]

dontrunawayfromliving

As the feed opens up, it shows Sarah, looking slightly more somber than normal. Her message is short and to the point.

"If you knew Shura, she has returned home. Thank you."

And done.

cykedfists

[When the COMP is switched on, you'll see a close up of Athena's face. She was obviously in a good mood.]

Hey hey hey! Guess what everyone! Today I'm officially 19!

It's weird... I don't feel any older, but I guess that's normal. Would anyone like to hang out today? If anyone is interested, just let me know.

'Kay bye!

[And just like that, she turned the COMP off. ~~Apparently, it's also "throw a policeman at Apollo" day according to tumblr.~~]

badluckhealer

[Aggie looks - pretty close to upset when she shows up on the feed. There's some hints that she has been crying (puffy and reddened eyelids, etc.) and she's really struggling not to resume crying.

When she speaks, of course, the reason for this becomes painfully clear.]

I...I am aware that my uncle Jack was - b-better at socializing than I am, so...he's probably got more than a few friends who s-should be told this.

[She swallows and tries to continue, but her voice is shaking all over the place.]

... All evidence points to Uncle having been returned home. I am very sorry.

E-excuse me.

[She turns off the feed in order to get the next fit of tears out before anyone replies. Old habits die hard, after all...]

reliving_days

[The video feed turns on to the upside down face of a little boy peering directly into the camera. The view shakes wildly as he appears to be figuring out his new toy.]

Hello? Is that little light supposed to be blinking? How is even doing that...?

[There's more spinning as he finally manages to turn it right side up.]

Oh! Um, if you can hear me, hi! My name is Link. I'm here to help you all protect the city! That's why we're been brought here, right? I know I look small, but I'm good at protecting things! I promise to do my best!

I have a feeeew questions before I get started, though. I saw a fairy a little while ago! Does that mean there's a fairy fountain nearby? I would love to meet this place's Great Fairy! I bet she helps protect the city, too!

One more thing! Has anyone seen my friend, Epona? She's a horse, red with white on her hooves and mane and tail. She was with me before I woke up here, but now I can't seem to find her. If you've seen her, please tell me! I'm a little worried. Thank you!

[There's some more shaking as he fiddles with the watch.] Wait... now how do I turn it o- [And the video switches off.]

aeterna_filia

[Kaguya's been fairly silent on the network lately. The reason for that becomes somewhat clear after just a moment. Behind her appears to be the interior of a temple, although it certainly looks more home-like now.

How could Kaguya not decorate it? Well, with what she could currently afford, at least. She seems rather pleased when she begins to speak.]

Good day to you, citizens of Hinoto-Ri. Thanks to the suggestion of an acquaintance of mine, I have taken up residence in the old temple located in the Aquarius District.

It's really quite lovely.

[A dramatic pause.]

Therefore, I believe a celebration is in order. This Saturday, I will be holding an open house. There will be plenty of refreshments, and I hope all who attend will bring their cheer and good spirits with them.

stringent

I demand to speak whoever is in charge!

[ the woman on the line, despite her rather harsh tone is looking as calm as she possibly can. the only thing revealing franziska's anger is the way that she clenches her sleeve, as if indicating that she doesn't have time for any of this nonsense. ]

Abduction is a criminal offense. I fully plan to prosecute the fool who dared to take me, a von Karma with the full force of what that entails!

[ there's the sound of a whip and the flash of something in the background hitting the wood desk in the standard Hinoto-Ri apartment very hard. she doesn't look happy at all and it shows openly now. ]

My father is dead. You will not extract any ransom from him. The von Karma estate is held by me, so asking my brother will be of no use either. If I have to negotiate a fee for my release, then so be it. I refuse to talk to these kinds of lowlifes in a normal circumstance however since all that has occurred in my flawless memory is waking up in this barely adequate apartment, I feel I have no other choice but to use this... device to hear the kidnapper's terms.

[ franziska won't even mention the dream she had. it is not relevant. however she is painfully reminded of one of her cases, and she involuntarily clutches her shoulder again, remembering the pain of the bullet once there but cuts the feed soon after ]

demifemme

It's overcast today, but it's actually above freezing! Which means of course that Shura has shed her hoodie. The image of the camera shows her from the waist up wearing only a black and blue sports bra.

"Hey Hinoto-Ri! Good news! The doctors are okay with me taking up running again! Bad news! I need a running partner in case my knees give up on me during the run. Anybody willing? I run at dawn around Pisces. You gotta feel safe around demons because I have a demon fan club that likes to cheer me on. Reply if you're interested!"

deathboss

[When the view pans up, a very tired...and annoyed Eikichi sighs overly-dramatically.]

It's terrible! I need serious help here!

[He them moves the camera over to a giant creature taking nearly half of the kitchen, its tail reaching right into the bathroom. It looks fairly unimpressed with the fruit in front of him, and also bored.]

Koi's been turned into this...giant thing ever since we were in the temple, but now I have no idea what to give him as food, and he takes up so much place!

I didn't know fish puberty would hit him so bad!

[Although he does approve of his new color. Not that he'll talk about that.]

prettytamer

[Have you ever seen a dolphin trying on a wig at the costume shop?

Now you have, because Midori thinks this is hilarious enough to snap a picture of and put on the network. It's a long blond wig, for the record.]

Today is turning out great already!
