01 video

[The feed opens up to reveal a young, androgynous looking person, just on the cusp of adulthood]

Everyone appears to be introducing themselves through this network.

[It is a bit foolish in his opinion. Why reveal your identity in such a way? However, he thinks it is probably best to introduce himself as well - these people possessed the same abilities as him, and as what occurred earlier, he may be forced to work with them in case of further attacks. He may as well scope out those that are competent in the very least!]

Yamato Hotsuin, currently residing in the Libra district. Those who have knowledge on demons would be welcome to discuss and compare compendiums - so long as your information is valid.

[And that's it. He's not for socialising and chatter! The feed cuts off after Yamato gives a rather stern look at the screen]

01-Video

[The video turns on to a man who looks eternally bored.]

I guess this is the part where I pretend to be in a support group and introduce myself, huh?

Well, hi, I'm Gabriel, and I've been in your city for a few hours now.

Let's see...I'm from Earth--sort of, I enjoy movies--on occasion, pastries--or anything sweet, and long walks on the beach--in certain temperatures.

[He claps his hands together as if closing the issue.]

But enough about me, let's hear about you...what sort of lovely people do we have assembled here?

[With a raise of one eyebrow, Gabriel cuts off the feed. Either he'd get answers or he wouldn't. It was really just to find some sort of distraction.

Despite his bravado and aloofness, he was still a little shaken up...but he certainly wasn't going to show that..if he could help it.]

[Video | Intro]

[Maya is smiling brightly when the feed opens, looking quite at ease despite all of the recent changes. She offers the network a cheerful wave before proceeding to introduce herself. Everyone else has been, so why not? This network has the potential to be great for meeting people and gathering information.]

Hello! These are pretty useful, aren't they? I could get used to this. So convenient!

Oh, right. Introductions! I'm Maya Amano, hot-blooded journalist! I don't have much use for formalities, though, so just Maya is fine. I've been assigned to Libra 7-08. These apartments are awfully small, but I suppose they'll have to do!

[She'll find a way to make a royal mess of it no matter the size, anyway. Also, apologies in advance to any of her neighbors: she likes her music loud.]

I was thinking of giving myself a tour of the city, particularly the shopping district, if anyone is interested. Also, does anyone happen to know if the paper here is hiring? It's certainly informative, but I'm of the opinion that their articles could use a little pepping-up, and I don't like being idle for too long. If I have to leave my career behind, then I'll just build myself a new one here.

[Video | Intro]

[Well, it turns out approaching people via video is a lot easier than just walking up to someone in that crowded room the night they arrived. The feed shows Akihiko wearing a reserved smile, the view that can be briefly glimpse over his shoulder clearly that of his snug apartment, with a large, cylindrical punching bag hanging behind him.]

I've already met a few of you, but I'm Akihiko Sanada, from Iwatodai, Japan. I'll be staying at Libra 5-08. I've had some extensive experience with the use of Personas already, so if anyone needs a hand, I'd be willing to lend one. I know getting used to it isn't always easy.

If there's anyone out there with an interest in boxing and looking for someone to spar with, drop me a line. Some of my equipment came with me, but there's nothing like a sparring partner to help keep your skills sharp, and I won't be giving mine the chance to slip.

[The feed ends rather unceremoniously. He'll get better at this. Maybe.]

[It took a while for him to figure out how this network device worked. Most of the technology talk went over his head during the initial greeting before the attack happened, so up until this time he was figuring how to work this shining piece of wizardry. Video posts still make him jump, so he'll never be using that option himself.

The recording clicks on and there's a short silence before someone clears his voice.]

Since I'll be around this place for a while, I figure I should use this communication method to introduce myself. Name's Kisuke, I come from a different time from this world. Ancient Japan, if you want to be specific. Large castles, samurais, ninjas, things that's on some... [There's a mumble of something like "wizardry"] ...vi-de-o things, along with some youkai spirits to the mix.

Not sure what else to say about myself, but nice to meet you all.

[The public recording ends here.]

[A young man in black appears on the screen after spending some time fiddling]

I - I am Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, and I was a devil summoner in my world. Gouto and I are trying to make copies of the information we have about demons so it would be readily available.

[He pauses, considering what else to say]

Does anyone know anything about the one who owns the Narumi Detective Agency here? I want to ask questions.

[Video]

[As you go about your business today, a URGENT MESSAGE notice pops up. Should you chose to click on it, a video feed opens up.]

As we predicted, a Velvet Room door has appeared near city hall, Leo Ward, section C2. We've downloaded the location on your map.

Those in Pisces can take the Violet line to your destination, while those in Libra can take the Indigo line. Both meet up at the Grand Station. You'll find an escort there, and they'll lead you to where you need to go.

If you wish to visit, you'll only have today to do so before it disappears again.

1st Video |

[The feed flickers on to another apartment room. It's fairly empty, except for a bed and the usual furnishings. The new tenant of this room sets his bag down on the bed, still a bit baffled by things. He sits down on the bed and turns his attention to the camera on the watch.]

Umm, let's see. Good evening, I'm Ryuusei Sakuta. I still don't understand how or why I'm here but it looks like I probably can't leave so with that in mind, I thought it'd be best to introduce myself.

[A pause]

Well...I guess that's all I can really say for now. I'm still trying to adjust to things...Ah, if anyone would like to meet me in person, or have any questions, I'm at apartment...[He stops for a moment and frowns a little, rubbing the back of his head]...Libra 8 - 04..[sigh]. That's all for now, again, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[Feed ends.]

one ♘ video

--on? I don't think I'll ever-- oh, it says its recording.

[Lizzie pulls away from the camera so that her face is visible, but she's holding it at an odd tilt, betraying her lack of knowledge with technology. For one brief moment uncertainty flashes in her eyes, but then she is smiling politely and speaking confidently.]

Good day, everyone. I hope this finds you well, and that you've been able to settle down properly. My name is Elizabeth Middleford, and, like you, I've been brought here very suddenly from my own time and world. There are some things I've noticed that I'd like to ask about, now that I have the chance.

Firstly, is there anyone here that was taken as far back as the late 19th century around Queen Victoria's reign? I was taken from the year 1890 and I would very much like to make the acquaintance of anyone who was from that time, or any English gentlemen or ladies in general.

Secondly, seeing as we have several young ladies like myself in this city, I would like to extend my hand in friendship to you all and suggest something of a boarding house for us to live or spend time together in. In my time, boarding schools were meant to give its residents a sense of community with each other, as well as offer emotional support. I believe many of us could benefit from that in this city. If anyone is interested, I'll see to finding us an appropriate building and other such business things so we can all be settled comfortably as soon as possible.

[She pauses, and then a fierce blush rises over her cheeks despite her efforts to remain composed.]

Lastly...as I am from an older time than most, I find that my outfits and dress are...well, equally as outdated in comparison to the other ladies here. A-And I am very, very sorry and ashamed to bring up such a private and embarrassing matter over such a public forum, but I will need help getting dressed in the morning. I, um...I need someone to lace up my corset, you see, it's very difficult to do on one's own, my maid Paula usually did it for me back at home...but as Paula isn't here, I would be grateful to any young lady who could spare a few minutes every morning to help lace me up.

[Cheeks still burning from humiliation, Lizzie gives the camera a small nod before fumbling and turning it off.]

> 01. [text]

Hello everyone! ＼（＾∀＾） I hope you've all settled in well!

My name's Minako Arisato. I've talked to a few of you already, but for everyone else, it's nice to meet you!

Now that things have calmed down a little I was wondering - how many of us were Persona-users before coming to Hinoto-ri? I think it might be good to meet and compare notes if we haven't yet, see what's the same and what's changed. And maybe we could also make a list of people with experience who can help with answering questions or training, or things like that! Just jumping into using a Persona can be pretty daunting...

For everyone else - what do you usually do for fun? Some of the things I like are music, volleyball, cooking... If we have enough people who like the same things, maybe we could even form a club! I wouldn't mind having someone to play volleyball with again. Or to go out to karaoke! (ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪

Anyway, that's all for now!

[My name is Mahiro Yasaka. Through a twist of fate or something like that, I've involved myself with a silver-haired girl who claims... has long since proven herself to be Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. After being kidnapped into a new, videogame-like world, I was kind of conflicted as to whether I would lose contact with her. There's just one problem...]

[I didn't even get to finish that thought before she appeared again.]

Nyaruko, take it back!! I wasn't even born twelve thousand years ago.

Everyone, if you saw a silver-haired girl announce anything lately, she wasn't telling the truth. Please don't take her too seriously...

[Can he overcome Nyaruko's slander by trying to talk about less embarrassing things? Rebel 1!]

My name is Mahiro Yasaka. I'm just an ordinary high school student [no such thing], so I'm at a loss understanding this place. Can anyone please give me the essentials in three lines?

[video] A formal greeting from the Sagittarius Branch!

Hello, everyone. It's good to see the network in use.

[Still wearing a labcoat and a white shirt was Ideo, bowing to the camera way more elegantly than he probably had to. It was set up so that none of the building behind him was discernible, but those who had been there would probably recognize the lighting as that from the Labs themselves. Which...meant Ideo was still there at 10:30 at night, okay.]

My name is Ideo Hazama- some of you met me during the incident in our Sagittarius labs. First, I would like to thank those who participated in helping us push back the Anoli. We could not have succeeded without your help.

[His smile wasn't long-lasting, of course.]

As for those I have not personally met, I am glad you are here, and it is good to meet you at large. Reiko and I work in the Research and Development labs, and focus specifically on technology in relation to demonkind. She is the expert in demon-related combat, however, so any specific queries about such should be directed to her. My main expertise is demon-related defense, as well as negotiation. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me any time- I am always available.

If for whatever reason you cannot get a hold of either of us, please direct all questions to our associates- [Here, he motioned his hands, and a foursome of fairies entered the frame.] Hua Po, Chou-keshin, Mid Pixie and Ceu.

[The fairies poofed out of frame after a few waves and blown kisses, all except Ceu, who remained stone-faced and serious looking. Ideo didn't seem to notice.] Thank you for your time, and welcome to Hinoto-Ri.

[Video ♓ Intro]

[Welp, since everyone else has been introducing themselves, why the hell not?]

My name is Narukami Yu. I was residing in Inaba, Japan before being brought here. I've been assigned to the Libra district, apartment 5-10.

[There's a pause...]

Some of you have met me already.

[...hey, just because everyone else was doing introductions, didn't mean Yu's would be very long.]

[Video] Idiot one.

[When the feed comes on Jun is lying lazily on her bed and staring up at the roof. Eventually she looks towards the camera and waves.]

Sup? Here's the deal; I'm pretty hungry but I don't know if there's anything to eat here I should go and pick something up to snack on. But I've got absolutely no idea what they've got around here that might be new to me, or what might taste foul.

So that's why I'm asking about the stores around this place; do they do brand name products or are they all imitation brands from back home? Pupsi, Kola Kola, Ploystation? Maybe some demonic themed products? That would be like Halloween come early.

[She presses a finger to her chin in thought, wondering slightly if anyone even knows the answer to these questions]

Or, hey, maybe if there's anyone who wants to go shopping for food we could hook up for the day? Call me!

01 - Video/Open

[The video opens with a pale girl with a line faced expression, as she speaks the tone is deadpan]

This is Lt. Commander Hoshino Ruri of the United Earth Space Fleet and captain of the battleship Nadesico. I know some things have happened lately and regret being unable to give proper support for them, but I'm learning the limits of what one person can do. Given technological differences is there anyone who was brought that has expertise in engineering, automation or advanced AI concepts? I've been working on a project that I suspect is several dozen if not over a hundred man hours and doing it alone has not proven to lead to being able to act quickly.

Also, if anyone knows where 06-09 in the Libra sector is, I would appreciate a tour. I haven't yet had enough time to screen all the map data for Omoikane so would probably get lost and once I finish up here I probably should see what sort of accommodations they have set aside for us here. Odds are that if I can't find a lake or something to put down in shuttling up and down may necessitate my staying there.

Thank you.

[ 01 ] ✯ [ Video ⋆ Intro ]

Can you believe this place? [ What an introduction, right? ] That Azathoth really needs to watch to where he places me next time. Maybe if he got those eyes checked out, I wouldn't be in this rotten mess!

[ And what is this mess? ] No one here recognizes the Space Defence Agency which means I'm out of a job. Do you know what that makes me?

[ Quickly posing out with her arms to spell out N E E T in bright red words. The words fade away quickly as she holds up two clenched fists. ]

I won't be like that worthless crawl of space Cthuko! Playing video games all the time... I need a real job. One that can challenge my intelligence! A job that can spark my imagination!

[ Pausing, she lifts up her shirt slightly to show off her stomach. ] A job that can pay for the unborn love child of my true love, Mahiro!

[ Spoilers: She's not really pregnant. ] Oh Mahiro, how am I to live without you? Ever since twelve thousand years ago I have loved you................

The Knight Again

[A young man clad in armor turns on the COMP. He looks into the camera with certainty in the audience beyond the lens. Despite his appearances, the technology doesn't seem to be an incredible challenge to him.]

My name is Oersted, a knight of Lucretia. I have been summoned here just as you all have for one reason or another. From this day on, I may either be your colleague or rival depending on where our paths take us.

It is for that reason I have called to all of you besides mere introductions.

I wish to know what all of you intend to contribute to this city in our coming days. You are all willing to fight when expected, yes? Then what reason do you have... besides being asked? And what is your reason?

... You may refrain from answering if you wish. This is just a way to satisfy my curiosity, nothing more, nothing less.

Introduction [video]

[The video clicks on, revealing an individual in blue and... lighter blue armor. He smiles at the screen, before continuing]

Hello everyone... my name is Mega Man X. I don't expect this to mean much to the majority of you, but I'm what's called a Maverick Hunter. We deal with reploids... err, basically sentient robots that have decided to rebel and threaten the rest of society...

... There's a bit more to it than that, of course, so I'll just cut to the chase. I'm a peacekeeper, so I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety of everyone living here.

[X smiles again, only this time it's a bit more obviously nervous looking]

It seems I arrived after a bit of excitement went down... I wish I could have been there to help everyone. Rest assured, if anything like that ever happens again, I'll do my best to help put an end to it.

Ah, also... I'm staying at Libra 8-02, and if any of you live near there, I wouldn't mind meeting my neighbors. [soft chuckle] Additionally... would there be anyone out there whose familiar with doing maintenance for high-tech machinery and equipment? I can get by on my own for a while, but I'm no lab tech...

I suppose that's all. I look forward to meeting all of you.
