[ 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.

*Apparently, despite being a witch, she seems to have some grasp on technology. Makes you wonder why she didn't call anybody soo -- oh, right, it's MISERY.*

Hello, boys and girls! Are we taking care of ourselves in this strange new world! I do hope so. It'd be a shame for anybody to get injured this early into the story.

Oh, but perhaps you have got an injury! Or perhaps some sort of other ailment? Or perhaps you're simply a caring soul who wishes to donate to a worthy academic cause -- which is to say, my own! Well, you're in luck! My name is Misery, and as I'm sure some of you know by now, I happen to be a witch. More importantly, I happen to be a witch with no small talent in the art of brewing, and it just so happens I've already figured out how to make a few mild healing tonics and antidotes, which will all be available to you! For a price, of course. I have to make my money SOMEHOW, of course. Ho ho ho.

But you know, it seems a shame to make such simple trifles. So, for a little elbow grease -- and a lot MORE money -- I would be willing to use some of the new materials offered by, ah, some of our more DEMONIC problems to try to find even MORE cures for what ails you. And I am ALWAYS welcome towards more ingredients, so don't be shy now! Wouldn't want anybody to think you're scared of a little medicine, right? Oh ho ho ho ho.

That's all. Have a nice daaaay!

((OOC: As of this post, Misery can sell minor potions of healing and poison antidotes to people, although assume you can't buy more than one or two without a decent-paying job. Also, she'll take requests! If there's a potion or small jewelry item you want, request it to her. I'll pass it by the mods, and if it's okay, she'll give a list of items to fetch. Note that these potions will require a LOT more money unless you want to be working for her for bupkiss for a long time, and are very limited in number to keep the game balance. Main ideas:

- Protection Spell replacements
- Poisons
- Maybe something for... shenanigans, if you feel like it. Because we all like shenanigans.
- Small defensive jewelry (which will be the most dangerous and expensive.

The "item store" is in business!))

--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.]

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?

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.

[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.]

[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!

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................

So, uh. Got a question here.

Where can I park a big mech? 'Cause I'm not sure how well people would like it just sitting outside my apartment building.

Hey.  Looks like I've got this working.

[Atsuro's face appears on the network under somewhat inadequate lighting.  An astute guess would place him in his room illuminated only by the backlight of his laptop.] 

Everyone get out of that first mission OK?  I can't speak for anyone else, but geez, I think I slept for a few days straight there.  If they, uh, wanted a report or anything, the research labs are fine.  ...Probably.

[He stifles a yawn before continuing on, the camera zooming out slightly to reveal a lot of bedhead and a conspicuously absent trademark floppy hat.]

Hnn...  Sorry.

So!  Anyway.  I've been thinking a lot.  About what they've told us and about... what they haven't.  Hah, I'm still surprised this place isn't some weird hallucination.  It's a little unreal, right?  Like they're asking us to act out a game or a fantasy novel.  But... even if it seems like it might be fun to stick around, I think we need to find out what it is we're really getting into.  ...There's something I want to say about all this.

You've all run into the monsters by now, right?  They talk, they cast magic, they do tricks.  Not all of them are bad, but they're things we've heard of in myths and stories from different cultures all across the globe - Cerberus, the hound of Hades.  British pixies and kobolds.  Nekomata and other youkai from Japan.  So... what gives?  What're they doing here?

...I'm not gonna get into details, but I should say that these guys - the exact same identical demons - have popped up in at least two other worlds that I know of.  And both times.... they showed up because the world was about to end.

I'm not saying this place is the same way, but... maybe that's why they need our help badly.

[addendum a few minutes later]

Ah, someone reminded me - if you guys want to see a database of all the demons I've ever met, you can drop by my room.  Libra 5-07.

...so anyone find a store carrying hair coloring yet? Michel's still got a lot of boxes left, but he definitely needs to find a place to go once it runs out!

[He's from 1999, you'll have to forgive him for being bad at the search function, or realizing it exists.]

This watch's pretty handy, I'll give you that. Didn't think you'd be able to fit an entire camera into one. [He peers closer at it, giving you a nice shot of his red eyes, before pullingback.] but the COMP still freaks me out! [He taps the side of his head and touches his ear, like he expects it to suddenly spring out] How'd those things know when to turn into the glasses anyway?
