Hey uh...so a few changes in temperature I can understand...but summer temperatures in the middle of December? Am I the only one thinking that it's weird? It's like 30 degrees outside! There was like...at least ten centimeters of snow yesterday too!

[Actually, it's more like 20 Celsius, but when you are dressed for winter and you see the bright sunny weather outside, it does seem a lot more warmer than it should be.]

[After three decades or so of learning to control her emotions on every level, Meetra doesn't really show annoyance over minor things that often. That said, there's definitely an undercurrent of exasperation to her tone.]

Okay, I think I've been going about this the wrong way for the last couple of weeks. Or just looking in the wrong stores.

What exactly is a "Phoenix Ranger Featherman R?" And for that matter, what's an action figure?

Is it wrong to want to live a normal life here when you're a fighter back at home?

[She's been trying to contact a certain person for a bit but there was no answer on the COMP or at her place. Just as she came, they let her go. Her best friend is gone and Yukiko just...didn't know what to do. She didn't know if anyone else knew but just in case, a text will pop up on the network.]

If anyone knew Chie Satonaka, she's not in the city anymore. I think she went back home.

[Maybe she did, who knows.]

[Mahiro keeps hearing about the capacities of the power bestowed upon everyone, but quite frankly? He doesn't have a lot of personal experience to back it up with. His Persona is capable of distracting enemies, and Mahiro would like to think that that kind of comes with the territory of being a giant manifestation of his psyche. While there are certainly ways to get around having drawn the short stick, he's more worried about the implications. Namely, what it says about him.]

I know this could be a personal question, and I understand if some people don't want to answer, but... what abilities does a Persona usually have?

[The overly cautious wording indicates that he's asking this for not entirely utilitarian reasons, and his doubtful tone isn't helping his case, either.]

*Gale appears on the network dressed in a grey jacket with long sleeves and his hood firmly buttoned closed.*

Greetings again. I have realized, while walking in the hall, that some rooms are warmer than others. How does one makes one's room warmer? I wish to avoid hypothermia.

Yo! [Have a teen with mint green hair waving at you, Hinoto-Ri!] The name's Hizumi Mizushiro. I'm new around here, and I've got a couple of questions if people don't mind helping a guy out!

Lessee... Well, starting with the easier one: does anyone have advice on good places to work? I'm only sixteen, but I don't really need to attend school, either, so any place that will accept me should work. Bonus if it gives useful discounts on important stuff like clothes or food or games!

[Wait, but isn't one of those--]

And my second question! [He holds up a hand with two fingers up!! Except... he also has an expression of slight discomfort.]

It's about those Persona things. I was just wondering... Is it normal for people to have deceased relatives as their Persona? I mean, I didn't really know my brother that well or anything--

[Ah. Maybe that's too much information?]

--Anyway, I think I can deal, but I've gotta say it's kind of weird to have part of your inner self represented by your late brother.

[He scratches the back of his head before shrugging it off.]

Well, that should cover it. Thanks in advanced!

[So, after a long time of radio silence on her part, Shepard's finally taking the chance to speak up, finally introduce herself, and make some friends.

Have a redhead, Hinoto-Ri. A redhead that's cozily seated in her chair, and showing off the most formal look she can give.]

Good afternoon. Commander Alia Shepard here; just chiming in to ask you all a question.

Beyond getting work, and all that pleasant stuff... [She has to find the people managing the defense force soon, that's for sure.] What else is there to do in this city? I'm curious. There has to be more than what meets the eye here, right?

dodgecharms

[A wild Secret appears! She looks like she's making sure that her COMP is working before she starts talking - clearly unused to making video communications.]

Um. Right. I've been here for a while, and I guess it's about time that I should actually introduce myself.

So, hello, Hinoto-ri. My name is

[she pauses, looking apprehensive, inhales deeply, and then...]

The Most Secret And Sorrowful Of The Bearers Of The Endless Destiny Of All Creation Which Wander Amidst Forgotten Sights And Fallen Tears Along the Tread Of Ancient Ashen Footsteps Through The Shadow Of That Which Comes And Into That Riotous Cacophony Which Births All Fools And Steals All Beauty, Who Heralds Through Her Silence The Stillness And Chill Of Those Who Were Not Born And Who Will Not Fade 'Till All Things Fall And In That Most Grim Harvest Form The Final Restful Tomb Of All Awakened Life And All The Sleepless Dead.

[She pants, letting her breath catch up. She does seem a little bit proud about getting that all out without passing out, though]

My friends just call me Secret.

Anyhow, I was kind of wondering about the places the rest of you come from, and I have a question that might seem a little weird - do your worlds have Exalts?

otakuro

Everyone!

I've, uh. Got good news! Again! It looks like we all survived the onslaught of invisible centaur archers that didn't actually show up in November! Aha. Hahaha... Uh. ...Yeah, I was wrong. I'll give it a few seconds so you can all yell at me.

[................]

Time's up! So, right. Even if we're not gonna be attacked by centaur archers, Arturia and I have been going through the library pretty thoroughly, and we have some findings to report.

First, a few of you were right about the compatibility theories. Everyone who was affected last time either had terrible compatibility with Scorpios or were fated to live happily ever after with them. If you want to take your chances, you've got a pretty good shot of finding true love from the guys who were trying to murder you before.

Second... This one's about the history of the city. It's pretty long; I'm gonna read off my notes here........

( Hinoto-Ri - that's the Japanese phoenix, for those of you who aren't native. The Ho-ou. )

[Atsuro finally stops blabbing on, reaching down to take a swig from a mug of water at his desk.]

..........Oh yeah!

If you're not sick of me talking yet, I need someone who's good at sewing to do a favor for me. I'll pay you back by reading your astrological fortune!

[That's probably a joke.]

booyaka_boom

So hey there new townies!~

*There's just one large, green eye on the screen, then it moves out to reveal a nose, then a whole face, of one very happy-looking young woman. She lifts a hand and waves brightly*

Nice to meet ya! My name's Selphie, and I'm from...well, a different world, and then another different world, and now I've wound up here. Funny, huh? So an-y-way... I've only been around for a few weeks and basically...

I need a job so I can eat! I'm a solider back home, and I'm an awesome fighter. But uhm, what else... I can play a coupla instruments, and I sing. I know how to look after chocobos... I can fly spaceships and I can do little fix up jobs, kinda like mechanics!

*Selphie lists each of these career options off on her fingers, and pauses on another*

I'm super hard working and I always try my best at everything I do but... I'm totally clumsy so a waitress probably isn't the best idea...

*For the first time, there's the tiniest shadow of self-doubt on her face, but it disappears almost in the instant that it's there and she grins*

So that's me! Oh, and I'm good at being a friend too so - if anyone wants to hang out, just left me know!

*And she'll finish her video CV with a flash of a wink*

( introspective stuff (not broadcasted) )

[The video turns on, and the first thing one hears is the rather terrified and stammering voice of one (1) Sam Erstwhile.]

This-this is really not okay! I mean, it's my birthday today, I really didn't need this as a birthday present!

[The guy seems to be on the verge of fainting, he's so pale. It's oddly dark behind him, even though it's morning...]

I-I...listen, is it possible to just refund a Persona? That's possible, right? Because...mine is a freakin' abomination, and I'm not really sure I want it. How come all of you get the cool ones and I get the one that looks like it feeds on little kid's nightmares??

[And then the darkness behind him moves, and what looks to be like a dark tentacle rests on Sam's shoulder. Sam shudders, letting out a slight whimper, as the skull-like face of his Persona drops down into view.]

[Looks like Sam wasn't kidding about that abomination stuff at all.]

They said having a Persona was a good thing. They said you'd love it, and that it'd help you, and...ugh, this isn't what I was expecting at all!

[And he buries his face in his trembling hands. He really looks like he's going to have a nervous breakdown over this.]

Happy birthday to me...

It's beautiful! { Garnet throws her arms into the air and beams at the falling snow. } I can't remember it falling like this in Alexandria.

{ For the moment, she forgets her title and falls backwards in a snow drift. It's snow angel time. }

How can you stand to stay cooped up inside?

By offering more flavors, you will expand your clientele. I would also suggest incorporating a variety of color schemes. They will catch the eye and persuade customers to purchase items that they may have overlooked before.

[There is a faint sound of agreement off screen. Ciel tilts his head, smirking self-confidentally.]

I have experience in this field. I hope you keep my suggestions in mind when you put your merchandise into production.

Thank you, Mister Phantomhive. Feel free to give us your input in the future.

[Farewells are said and a door closes. Ciel walks back into view and picks up a pen. The smirk is gone and, in its place, there is a look of steely determination. He writes something down and glances at the screen.]

What do you look for most in candy? Or toys for that matter? I am also considering offering clothing, though that might be a future endeavor.
