[Text] (Dated to February 7th)

Hello,

I'm newly arrived to this city, and I'm curious to see if there are any others here that might be from the same place that I am. Is anyone familiar with the planets Coral and Ragol? Or any of the planets in the Gurhal system (Parum, Moatoob, Neudaiz)?

Additionally, if anyone has heard of "Mayfield, USA", would you please send me a message? I would very much like to talk.

[In the aftermath of the tournament, and the revelation of what may lie within Mictlan, Zelda has a question about the mission Philemon gives each Visitor when they arrive.]

What do you think "protect the city" means?

"I don't suppose any of you know how to blend magic with a known technological system? I've been working on a project and I suspect the setbacks are due to magic inclusion in the system. If anyone has expertise on this I'd be most appreciative of a chance to collaborate on this project."

2☾ [Video]

[Isa doesn't seem all that worse for wear, or at the very least, whatever lingering injuries he may have aren't all that apparent. That's not to say there's nothing different about his appearance, specifically his hair's been cut rather short.

Not that he's gonna talk about that, he has something else on his mind.]

So, these Persona. Is there any ...significance about them?

The form they take, I mean?

VIDEO

Well, now that I've been deemed in good enough condition to leave THAT dreary place...

I suppose some of you hero types are going to be charging off to save the day! How noble of you. Still, it creates business for me as much as it does for the doctors of this city! And in honor of you going off and potentially foolishly getting yourself killed by unknown forces, I hereby declare that all of my healing potions and Patra stones are 25% off! After all, I'd like SOME way to remember all of you. Or at least your bank accounts. Oh ho ho ho ho!

[Locked to the Network]

As you may have heard from my esteemed colleges or seen from the video anomaly, the Mictlan appears to have caused quite a commotion. I have been approved for an expedition later tonight. However, this is to be done without the government's aid. While they appreciated your efforts during the tournament, the media's eyes are currently turned on the Visitors as a whole and if the Anoli found out what was going on, they could use this to their advantage.

Time is of the essence, as there are more and more questions as to where our peers have gone off to. Obviously that question needs an answer.

Do not bother coming if you can't stand up and fight on your own.

[OOC - You can only send one(1) of your characters. They need to be in okay condition on the 1st of February to go, and this has nothing to do with the event happening next week. This log will be rapid-paced for the most part.]

I am sorry many of you were so badly injured during the arena attack. I was uninjured and am willing to help anyone who needs it while you recover. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

I'm not totally comprehending the consqueneces of the scene we've seen on the network, but it's obvious something needs to be done, and as quickly as possible. But what is it we can do?

[It's been a day since the network went back up (and everything associated with that), and Xion's been able to settle her thoughts a little, and think about other things. Because while what happened was definitely bad, it wasn't the kind of bad that could overwhelm your thoughts and push out anything else.

Especially when you don't have much to do anyway. And eventually of course, Xion remembers something she meant to ask when the network went back up anyway.]

I know... that this might seem like a strange question, but... does anybody have any idea what to name a cat?

[Names are not her and Sora's forte, okay.

And... just because it seems like a good idea.]

To anybody I haven't seen since... since Thursday, I'm okay. And... if you could let me know you are too it'd mean a lot to me. Thanks.

[Saying she's okay is not quite the truth but close enough, right? Ignore her tired voice and refusal to use video; she's okay, honest. Besides finding her friends is more important. Sora's given her some of the details but hearing from the people themselves...]

PERSONA TALK: THE TALKENING; BACKDATED to 1/18

[ FILTERED THE HELL AWAY FROM GARVIEL LIKE IT'S GOIN' OUT OF STYLE ]

I researched into Persona, and I know that some people are interested in hearing what they are, exactly. I thought that, with the potential threat looming, it might be a good idea... to properly explain it.

However, on a close examination of the library, I was unable to find much info on the Persona ability itself. Most of what I found was theories or, in a case or two, what appeared to be picture books for children.

I did find a few things; for example, most of the theories suggest that Personas as a power will not attack their users. The concept I found in psychology seems to support this; the studies of a man named Jung seem to suggest that the idea of a persona is a 'mask that's presented to make an impression on others and hide your true self'. According to what I read, the best idea of it comes from the idea of playing roles, or role-playing. Like... in theatre shows, I assume. As the book said, by playing a role, society is moved forward. The ability to play a role in society is the basis of the archetype. It's... meant to be a mediator between you and people you meet, sort of. Basically, it's how you act around others, and comes from your conscious mind. Typically, if you don't have one, I was told, it implies either severe mental damages or complete innocence. As a book I read put it, it said 'the persona is the denial of the will to "live as your true self".

I think that this idea of Persona being tied to the powers we've gained is likely, due to similar names and ideas.

...If you have any information, ideas, or questions, respond, and I'll answer or add as best I can.

I. > voice.

Hello. My name is Naoto Shirogane. I thought I would at least introduce myself over the network. I'm afraid I still have quite a bit to learn about this place but what I do know so far has been quite intriguing. The method of accessing the network is a bit unique as well...

[There's a brief pause as if she's considering her words carefully.]

I'm curious so if you would indulge me for a moment... How many of you were familiar with the term 'persona' prior to coming here? Also, who was familiar with the term in the context of using it to describe the power that people gain here?

01 - Girls on Film [Action/Voice]

[ACTION - A Seedy bar somewhere in the Taurus district]

[A few days in this town and Natsuki was relatively sure that wherever here was, it wasn't the underworld, and she likely wasn't dead. But she still has a lot of questions about this town and why she was brought here, so, knowing little else what to do, she acted on instinct. A few hours before the curfew she found the seediest bar in the Taurus district that she could lie her way into and plopped herself down in a dark corner, watching to see if there was anyone who might look remotely helpful. Knowing that many of these people will be gone due to the curfew in a few hours, she decided to play around with this watch, to see if she could get anyone in the same situation as her to come talk more on her terms. After a bit of fumbling through a horrifying few seconds on Teen Beat's Comp site, she managed to get the watch to start up an audio feed.]

[ Cue this guy looking highly confused and weirded out...This wasn't what the dream worlds looked like the first time, so he was really confused as to why they looked like this now. This wasn't anywhere he'd been before...]

So, I went back into the dream worlds, but I wasn't expecting any of this. A butterfly? That's a little weird. Anyway, are there other people here? I've...kinda got some stuff to do so...

It's gotta be a dream world because Meow Wow is with me...right?

[ Then he grins. ~~BEST FRIEND MAYBE?~~ ]

By the way, I'm Sora. Sorry if I'm in a little bit of a hurry!!
