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."

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.

{ 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.

[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.]

[ 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. ]

[This is a particularly no nonsense post as to leave no personality behind in the message.

Not that Santa has trouble hiding his personality, but one can never be too careful with a question like this.]

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?

[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!

[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?

[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?

[ Minato has an extremely important announcement to make. He's very upset by this turn of events because that music player - and his headphones, while we're at it - are very precious to him. Therefore, actually talking to many people at once on this device seems absolutely necessary! So he breaks his record of not broadcasting messages publically for this.

... anyone who watched the videos Yu Narukami posted the other day might recognize Minato as one of several who fell victim to teleporter accidents and wound up in the pool, though he's considerably dryer here. ]

My mp3 player got dunked in a pool the other day. I've been letting it dry since. However, it seems to be shorted out altogether.

... does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get it fixed? Or... is there anyone here good with electronics?

I'd be very grateful for any assistance. [ pause ] For those I haven't met, my name is Minato Arisato.

ETA:
[ A short while later, he appends a picture of the mp3 player in question as well additional details as they come up. ]

It's from the early 2000s on Earth.
My sister has a working model, if one needs to be seen.

[ Suddenly, a computerized voice! ]

URGENT CODE 5-93 COMP SYSTEMS SHUTTING DOWN ERROR CODE 5-93 EMERGENCY CRITICAL 5-93 5-93!!!

[ luckily for her, she shuts off her mic just before laughing. ]

[When the video switches on it's a bit crooked, but it's soon apparent that a child's face is staring into the watch.]

Is it on?

[Someone else off-camera must have given an affirmative answer, because now she smiles.]

Hello!

[Then she pauses. She wants to introduce herself, but that someone has just reminded her not to. When she continues speaking, the smile has faded and her voice sounds... well, like a young child who is a bit scared, but mostly confused, and also trying very hard to sound confident instead of either.]

Can anyone I know hear me?

They said I should ask because lots of people can see this, like on television! [Who 'they' is is also left unclear. But the idea of a video phone is apparently exciting, smartphones aren't exactly the norm in Inaba...] Um... So if you know me, then answer back with a video.

[Because text answers are apparently also bad. This list of rules is even longer than her Dad's.]

And don't worry, I'm okay. [This, she adds because she knows her family well enough to predict their reaction to this weird kind of message. Her Dad is probably going to yell either way, though.] ...Thank you for listening.

...Um, how do I turn it off?

[ Bucking the trend that seems to have gripped the network these days, there's a new audio post for you all to enjoy.

The man behind the post happens to be blind, but he's only keeping things limited to audio until he has a better idea of what this city and it's inhabitants are like.

Still, he sounds friendly enough. Even if he is just a little straight to the point. ]

Greetings all, Snake here. I arrived in Hinoto-Ri earlier today and a few important questions have only just crossed my mind.

[ Pause for thought. ]

Does relying on a Persona too much have any unpleasant side-effects?

Also, I know each apartment building has 10 rooms per floor, but how many floors does each building have? And are the apartment buildings identical to one another?

My apologies for asking so many questions right off the bat, but I assure you they're important.

Let me know. I'm not going anywhere.

[ You can hear the smile in his voice as he cuts the feed. ]

Hello?

Sorry if I'm bothering anybody. My name is Hasegawa Saori, and I just arrived in Hinoto-Ri.

They told me what happened, and what we're meant to do, but I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I tried contacting my dormmates, and even my family, but they haven't answered. I've even talked to some of the locals, but they just confirmed my worst fears. [There's a long pause before she can even write again. How could this have happened?]

Anyway, I decided I needed to get as many contacts as possible. How many of you are from before the Crisis? Apparently the latest recorded year before it is 2012, and I'm from 2010 for reference.

Again, sorry if I'm bothering anybody. I just needed to talk to someone...about all this. If you read through my post, thank you for listening.
