Look, I'm just going to ask this straight out.

Who here's dead?

[... Smart ass responses incoming in three... two... one.]

And no, we don't need to swap death stories, that's dumb.

[METHOD_ENTRY_001] [VIDEO]

[The feed begins--and will later end--with the face of a young woman. Her expression is stern as she carefully sets her new communication watch on the nightstand. She sits on her bed, arms folded and legs crossed, holding herself with dignity and poise. The image she's trying to present is somewhat ruined by a haphazard pile of stuffed animals behind her--but she's obviously trying to make the best of an uncertain situation.]

Good evening, Hinoto-Ri. My name is Cloche Leythal Pastalia. [She pauses--just for a moment--as if there was some other part of her name that she was used to including.] Like many of you who read this network, I am a new arrival to this city--a "Registered Extraterrestrial Guest." I arrived just this afternoon, in fact.

My home is Metafalss, which floats above the Sea of Death in Ar Ciel. [She unfolds her arms, gracefully resting one hand over her heart.] If those names mean anything to you, I would truly appreciate it if you made contact with me. Even if we were strangers there, please, do not hesitate to contact me--collaboration could only beneficial to us all.

I am eager to learn more of the circumstances not just of this world, but of those that you call home. I honestly believe that, by understanding each other and working together, we can better come to understand this city and the mysteries surrounding it. [Cloche stands and retrieves her watch. She walks carefully, so as to not jar the camera.] To facilitate that mutual understanding, I would like to share some information about something that has come with me from Metafalss.

And that... [At this point, she reaches the door of her balcony which she opens, with a flourish.] Is the Infel Pira. [Cloche turns the camera to the sky. Although it is tremendously far away, the latest addition to Hinoto-Ri's skyline is visible from Cloche's bedroom window.] The Infel Pira is my Song Server, the source of Song Magic for myself and other IPD Reyvateils. The shape may seem strange to you but, I assure you, it is a benign structure. As the Maiden of Aqua, I swear that it will cause no harm to the innocent citizens of this city.

[With that said, Cloche returns the camera's view to her own face.] I can only hope that my explanation has eased any concerns you may have about it. [She closes her eyes, looking contemplative.] This evening, I know very little. [She opens them again, a determined expression on her face.] But tomorrow morning, I shall know more. Each and every day presents itself a new opportunity to learn.

To all those who have listened... thank you very much for your time. I wish you all nothing but the best. Good night.

[Cloche does not fumble with the buttons of the watch. She neatly ends the feed after her closing remarks.]

Good at Technology

[The feed cuts in with a face of a man who looks like he's not sure if he just did something right. He just sits there, looking curiously and impatiently at the screen. Possibly also a man who got the "start recording" and "stop recording" buttons mixed up, and so started actually recording AFTER he had finished saying his piece.

After a minute or so...]

...Why am I even wasting my time with this?

(no subject)

[Video]

Hey, everyone. This is the newest member of the police force speaking here. I had basic training back home, so I got through the training here really fast. And they're even letting me do plainclothes duty. But see for yourself:

[At this point, Asem turns the camera feed to his shiny new badge.]

So, if you need help, let me know, all right? I'm always happy to help.

But that's not all. Can I speak to anyone from a world more technologically advanced than this one? I don't mean by like twenty years or so, either -- I'm talking about civilizations with space colonies and advanced combat machines. I have a few things I'm willing to pay to have built here, so if anyone out there can make them, I'd really appreciate it.

Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

Hey, so... I was thinking... These Persona things are kind of supposed to be us, right?

[He sure was sounding pretty unsure there. People that had seen him around could deduce that this was definitely nothing new.]

What if your Persona doesn't really fit...? Like, fit who you are? Do you think something weird happens?

[Minako is starting to get restless. The tournament only heightened this feeling, and so, today, after a conversation with Minato, she turns to the network to message the members of SEES she knows are present.]

Filtered text to Minato Arisato, Mitsuru Kirijo, Shinjiro Aragaki, Akihiko Sanada, Miki Sanada, Minami Arisato, and Aigis )

[Afterward, she takes to the video for something a little more public and light-hearted.]

So I read on the news feed that there's going to be some kind of masquerade ball at the end of the month. Since it's Halloween-themed, that must mean costumes. Anyone else thinking of going and dressing up? I can't decide what would look the best!

It's your friendly neighbourhood Santa Claus here, guys.

I just wanted to know if anyone wanted to form a team for dealing with any situations that might pop up - I heard there was an attack a while ago on a lab, right? If anybody wanted to, I dunno, prearrange to join up and fight evil and all of that glorious shit in the name of justice.

I already have two team members, so that makes a total of three of us, and I myself am a support Persona user and I've got some real expeirnece in that field.

[Santa rolls a few thoughts about in his head before he continues.

He wonders if Junpei and Snake will be aware that they're already being counted as his teammates, but surely they wont have a problem with that, right?
]

All I ask of you is that you give me a few piece of information, yeah? Don't worry 'cause it's nothing intrustive and you can filter, lock, encrypt or encode the fucking shit out of it so long as you tell me at least how to read it.

I'll include the information I need at the end of the post, alright?

[And the audio feed ends there.]

A handy dandy form is attached at the end of the post )

[ Well hello there everyone! It's your friendly neighborhood angel boy on the screen today, messy brown hair, golden laurel crown, tunic and all. ]

Anyone know a good job an angel like me can pick up?

[[video]] OFF WITH ONE WATCH ON WITH ANOTHER

[The feed is actually pretty steady, like whoever is directing it is used to this sort of thing. Oddly comforting, for a change!

But the viewpoint isn't at a person, but a sand-crusted car parked haphazardly in front of the Libra apartment building.]


So, uh- [Whoever's on the other end seems really, really, really dry and deadpan about what he's about to say.] -where's the nearest car wash?

[Video]

We've seen some splendid duels over the last few days, although all of them were using the power unique to this world. Are any of you duelists of other varieties?

I'm particularly interested in magicians - human or otherwise - from other worlds, being a magician who dabbles in dueling myself. However, I'm interested in hearing about what form such things take even in worlds where magic is less common.

An armored figure glowers out over the Hinoto-Ri COMP network

"I found the actual combat skills displayed recently at these so-called persona fights somewhat lacking. You may understand how to use your sorcerous.... things, but if you need to learn how to fight with bullet, blade, mind and hand, seek out Cerberus. I shall instruct you on how to not completely embarrass yourself when asked to fight."

[video]

When the video starts, it's a first person glasses feed looking at...what appears to be a crudely handcrafted plush doll. A bang of blue felt covers one button eye, and there's a tiny red armband around the sleeve of its school uniform. Whoever is sending the video starts speaking in their best attempt at a solemn voice.

"His Charm is so contagious, vaccines have been created for it. None have been successful. He once punched Death. That's right, you heard me. He is a lover, not a fighter, but he is also a fighter, so don't get any ideas. He is...The Most Interesting Universe In The World."

Somehow, the little plush doll stands up and starts moving around, sitting down in a to-scale elegant armchair before addressing the camera directly in a voice that sounds exactly like the announcers.

"I don't always transcend the bounds of time and space to dwell in strange, demon-infested cities, but when I do..."

A slight pause for dramatic effect as the plush doll swipes at its felt bangs with the back of a tiny, fingerless hand.

"It's Hinoto-Ri. Stay classy, my friends."

And then the video cuts off.

{ video } II.

{ The dark hair of the one who calls herself Dagger is partially obscuring the view; yet her hands can be seen. Said hands are hard at work drawing...something.

It's not very good. It's actually...rather childish. But, hey, she has done her best and it will serve as a picture of those she has left behind.

And, yes, that is a monkey tail on one of the figures. }


You're not here, but you're not forgotten. { She tucks her hair behind her ears and holds up the picture. With a small smile, she turns it so everyone can see it better. }

These are my friends. If you see them...any of them...please let me know? { In the picture, there is Zidane Tribal, Vivi Ornitier, Freya Crescent, Adelbert Steiner, General Beatrix and Eiko Carol. }

Eiko is the only Summoner...like me...in that group. But I'd like to think they might follow me someday.

1st Cooking Attempt [Voice]

[It's been an odd day for the future inn owner: the last thing she remembered was defeating that big floating eyeball then its second form. Then suddenly that dream...and woke up in this city. No one needed to tell her to be scared because she already was.

No Yukiko, the idea is to stay calm and don't panic. Just use the little watch device and ask your questions. Problem is what kind? It would be best to stick with a simple one, maybe someone she knows will answer. She finally figured out to use the voice function and records.]


Excuse me, I know this will sound silly but I need to ask. Is there anyone from Inaba here?

[Good, that's a start. It's a short post but one nonetheless. All there is left to do is wait for an answer.]

[Video]

[ Like a true Persona protag, Naoya wakes to find he has spent a ridiculous amount of time asleep. He has settled into his apartment, but finds himself otherwise confused (not to mention, he has the worst case of the yawns...).

While not too bothered, he does recognize the use in getting caught up with what he has missed, which is why he appears on the video screen.
]

It looks like I've been out of the loop a while.

[ He runs a hand through his messy hair and then shakes it out. ]

Can anyone catch me up?

[ ...yawn. ]

Where do I sign up to join the Anoli?

Or if no one knows;

Where do I find someone who can help me join the Anoli?

1st Word: Greeting [video]

[There is a blond woman with a poofy-looking hat on the display. She speaks, however, in a voice that sounds a bit too high-pitched for the speaker.]

Hello, everyone!

I got here a few days ago, and I'm not really sure what happened. Somehow I got here in the body of my online game character, so please call me Atoli.

I hope we can all be great friends!

video and text

[Hello, citizens, you're now watching a recording of a curtain of silver hair and the sounds of someone poking and tapping at the communicator. There is an huff of breath, and then the camera is flipped over, revealing a woman with silver dog ears and red markings over her skin. She tilts her head curiously before smiling for the camera-- benevolently, radiantly, and somehow tinged with sadness. Then typing starts, slow and careful.]

HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE IN THE GODS? WHAT SORT OF GOD DO YOU BELIEVE IN, IF YOU DO?

First Echo

[Video]

[A serene-looking woman sits before the camera, cross-legged on one of the tiny couch-futon-hybrids they put in these apartments. Some people might recognize her from the other night, though she's currently not wearing the big hooded brown robe, but instead a cassock-like tan garment.]

I've met some of you other "Extraterritorial Guests" already, but for those I haven't, my name is Meetra Surik. I'm a traveler here, like we all seem to be, and I seem to have gotten even more lost than I thought I was - and I was heading somewhere with no real maps in the first place.

So, my request to the network is...tell me about Earth. We seem to be on Earth, and most of the people here seem to be from different "Earths"...which I guess could mean a kind of planet, but from context, it sounds more like multiversal theory turning out to be true. At any rate, I'm new to this planet, so please, tell me all about it. In return, I'll share what I can say about the Galactic Republic, where I'm from. Deal?
