Is there anyone else here from my world I should know about?

To everyone else: I'm sorry about the loud, screaming goddess you just heard. She has this stupid thing against humans where she wants to wipe them all out. Just ignore her. Even if she is being really loud.

[More information? One new arrival, at least, has all the information she needs. The influx of energy from this one is massive, completely unsubtle, almost as if purposefully designed to attract the attention of anyone with any sense whatsoever of the divine. It doesn’t fade away nor does it seem to be easily localized. This surely wasn’t ‘Magatama Energy’…

Whatever ambiguity this might present is cleared up almost immediately. Despite that no one may be in the vicinity, the voice of a young girl sounds clearly throughout the city of Hinoto-Ri to nearly every inhabitant, as intelligibly as if the speaker were standing right next to those she addressed. …Perhaps too intelligibly. The first sound they hear is an vehement, despairing cry.]

NO!

This can’t be…! The forests… The oceans… The deserts and mountains, the tundra and the plains! W-Where are they?! Who did this?! What did you do to them?!

[For a few moments, the speaker seems too overwhelmed with ire to speak. The sound of her breathing eventually slows...]

Humans. Look at this world. Look at it!

I knew this would happen. In every world across every dimension, it doesn’t matter! You -- you’re all the same! See for yourself! This is what will happen if you tear through all of nature without respect for anything but your own wealth and gain! Are you happy?! My children… 100 million species. One hundred million. There's almost nothing left...

I am Viridi, Goddess of Nature, ruler of the Earth and all living things! And I will not allow this land to be desecrated any further.

They say there are monsters ravaging what remains. If you stand against them, then... heed the command of a goddess and CRUSH them!

[The screen flickers on to a boy wearing an amused grin.]

Everyone!

I've got good news! You're forgiven! The angel I summoned said so himself; God would definitely forgive you in a heartbeat because man's heart is weak, as is his mind, and we're all, uh, susceptible to the workings of the Evil One, and even as we wallow in our filth and sin, we -- You know what, forget God; I forgive you.

Seriously, no one could possibly blame you for what happened last week even if some of us were lucky enough to be scorpion magnets. Misery has it right - the important thing is to make sure that it doesn't happen again. If you all missed the announcements from the higher-ups, the people who were affected most severely were Scorpios. ...If you don't know what that means, in modern times on Earth - that's the 2000s - they were born when the Sun was in the sector of the sky dominated by the constellation Scorpio. This makes no sense if you were born outside Earth or in a time when we didn't go in for ridiculous things like pretending arbitrary sky-pictures meant anything about our lives, but the important thing is that the sun transitions into Scorpio beginning on October 23rd.

Guess what last week was.

The next sign is Sagittarius. The sun will shift into its sector on November 22nd.

So let's clear a few things out of the way - Everyone who was afraid, can you report in with your sign? Same thing if you were a scorpion magnet, though maybe that's more of a subjective thing. And everyone who's a Sagittarius, do you mind if we tie you to your beds from November, oh, 18th-ish to the 23rd? Your choices are (Yes/Of course/Definitely). If your name is Jun, (That's kinda kinky) works, too. If you don't know your sign, Sagittarius goes from late November into late December - so the end of a harvest season into winter in the Northern hemisphere, and the end of spring into summer in the South.

I'll keep track of the data. It's kinda my thing.

Oh -- this has nothing to do with anything, but I'm working in the computer labs of the university now. Drop by if you ever need anything fixed or if you just want to say hi.

[Oh sure, Theodore has noticed things have been getting a little... hectic recently, especially since both of his sisters seem to be affected, but this might also be the only time these things get given away! Even if he might have to

oh no he's not lying he's lied by omission enough since he came here he's so not.

In any case, he's going to be giving out his ill luck gotten prizes! It expands quite far and, after asking a rather paranoid looking man pleasantly if he could use his cart for his plush display, Theodore's got them all nice and orderly from the first to hopefully to go (Mara--) to the least likely to go (... Mara? Ghoul.) and everything nightmareish in between. And, of course, the best way to advertise is to put it where everyone can see it! The advertisement, that is.

Which is where the network comes in. He's mastered this thing, oh yes he has, and it's staring right at what appears to have once been a simple cart for merchandise now filled to the brim with plushes ranging from large to small of Persona and demons that are not cute nor elegant and most some part a side the doesn't exactly want to think about of his guest.

Theodore clears his throat. The only bad part about this is that it's raining, and he's looking quite soaked. The plush are fine though! Sadly his blue resident clothes are not. Perhaps he should invest in those clothes he'd gotten... Ah, oh well.]

Good day, Hinoto-Ri. Might I interest you all in some... exquisitely made dolls? I have everything from the, ah, powerful Mara to the beginner's Ghoul. If you ask for one, there are chances I may have it so long as it is of the more, um, frightening designs. It is the time of the year for frightful items, correct? [... Maybe this was a bad idea who'd want these things-- stay strong!] And they are all for free. Or, if you'd be willing, I would like to trade them for dolls of the Jack family in particular, and I will give you a large sum if you manage upon a King Frost.

[Fool proof.]

I will be traveling through most of the districts with the exception of the Taurus, so if you see me please do not hesitate to stop me and ask for one. [A pause, and for a second he seems desperate.] Please. I will first be centered in Libra where my current residence is and I will continue throughout the city all day until the last of these are in the hands of someone who will cherish them.

[Please take these from me, his eyes seem to say. But that's ridiculous right? A resident's supposed to accept all parts of an individual. ~~But they never said they had to like the form they came in.~~ A list for reference, by the way, of his wares. Personas in front, Demons in back of his cart. Simply ask!]

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.

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?

[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?
