[Introspective]

[...What a strange place she's landed herself into.

All these bizarre beings floating around, ranging from sentient snowmen with wide smiles, to jack-o-lanterns, to various other oddities...there were few words she had that could really describe it. That, and the word echoing in the back of her head -- Persona? What was that supposed to be? And why was she even brought here by this Philemon guy, anyway? She still had work to do, after paying Ayumu that last visit...she couldn't afford these delays now, of all times.

...But then, it doesn't look like she has much of a choice in the matter. Well, if that's how it's going to be, then...she might as well see what she can find out, especially with her lack of obvious sources.]

[Video]

[Oh, would you look at that, the feed's on again.

This time, there's a teenage girl with long hair tied into braids on the other end, still tinkering with the COMP--and when the feed goes on suddenly, she steps back a little bit.]

--Oh! I didn't think this would have a camera...

Hello there~ [Have the most sickeningly sweet smile gracing your screens, fellow Visitors.] Can anyone tell me why I was brought all the way to this city? I've already taken the time to ask some of the locals, but no one's given me any clear answers...it's a little worrying, to be honest.

Oh, and does anyone happen to know where I can find a place to stay, while I'm here? I'd rather not be curled up on the sidewalk in the cold...

Thanks in advance~

[...Okay, that probably came off a little more forced than she'd have liked, but. After spending two years away from being "Yuizaki Hiyono", she couldn't help but be a little rusty.]

a_gentle_boy

Excuse me, everyone...

[The face on the screen is probably not terribly familiar. Lucas has been keeping to himself, network-wise, partly because of his innately quiet nature and partly because technology still gives him the willies. Now, though, he speaks with a degree of firmness - from the background, it is clear that he is sitting somewhere in the hospital; nurses and EMTs rush back and forth across the street.]

I'm not sure I understand everything that man said, but... I think, maybe, it would be better if we didn't think about it too much. Um. I know everyone is angry, but what I mean is... it might be better if we focused on making sure the city is OK before we try to find this person.

The monsters are still a lot stronger than they have been before, and the hospital is getting overrun, so... I'd like to ask everyone's help for a few things.

If you're good at healing, and you think you have time, maybe we can try and set up some sort of schedule to help out the doctors and nurses here. They have a lot of Personas that can cast healing spells, of course, but I think it's not enough right now. Also... I don't know if this is appropriate, but if there are any large buildings here that came from someone's world, it might be nice to set up a place where the injured can go if they're not so badly hurt. Just so they won't have to sit around in the hospital for hours just to be seen for something like a few cuts.

Ah - And if anyone is ever hurt and you can't make it to the hospital yourself, please don't hesitate to call me for help. I can heal most injuries pretty quickly.

Thank you for your time, everyone.

[It looks like he's done - and then his feed flickers back on once more.]

O-Oh. One last thing... Has anyone -- Has anyone seen a boy who looks a little like me, but with a mask, lately?

trainwrecking

[He spent three hours staring at his (now mostly functional) watch, rehearsing this a hundred times. Shouldn't it be fine?

Unfortunately, no, thanks to the TRIHARDO virus. The feed opens to a sterile white room and a bandaged up redhead, who seems to be doing his best to appear confident and normal despite the lingering rasp in his voice. ~~haha! "normal"~~]

A-a-ano, ahh, hello, it's— No, that's stupid, I mean to say— er, no, I, um—

You don't have to do this if— a-ah, ehhh, umm... I... I-I... uhh.

...

N-nevermind. I forgot what I was going to ask. Ahah... [No! TRY EVEN HARDER. TRIHARDO.]

Wait! [Cue an emphatic gesture for "WAIT."] No, ahh, that wasn't true..! I would really appreciate it if someone could get something for me!

Or— uh, if you can sew, that would be great too.

Ahh, uhh, I'll do anything I can in return! Ahh, no, that was worse than when I practiced... Eh? Did I leave the video go—

deathboss

HOOOOOOOOO!

Hinoto-Ri, your soul is suffering! Please allow Michel to sing you the songs of his people.

[And before anyone can protest, Eikichi starts to sing a little something like this. It's...somehow worse than his usual singing because he's trying to gosh extra hard and putting his soul in there!

Also this video is on automatic playback if you are unfortunate to click on it.

...on the public city archive, there's also 246 dislikes and it was just posted mere minutes ago. Clearly his effort is helping greatly!]

psimera

Would anyone know where one could get uncommon adapters? Or, um, wire something electronic up to the grid here directly without frying it? Or any other way you can think of to charge unusual things?

[The voice starts off trying to be calm, almost mechanical, but it very quickly slips into desperation. Apparently this is urgent. The Commander's got blueprints of his insides saved in his head for repairs, but he doesn't actually know how they work, besides the fact that they do if everything's connected properly. He's clueless about this.]

[...he isn't someone who's been heard on the network before, either. It rather sounds like he chose it as a last resort.]

hetried

[Somebody definitely looks more shook up than usual; and those bandages looked a little much for someone that was supposed to be in a fake fight.]

O-- OK. I can get-- demon kidnapping, that's a-- job hazard. I guess. I-I can understand that!

B-But how come I'm the only one that ends up in an actual death match?! Y-You guys said not to worry, but I thought I was gonna d-die--!! Who the hell let--?!

[OK. Deep breaths Daichi, deep breaths.]

I-- Look, just-- stay away from that Sam guy! H-He's one of us, timid-looking guy, brown hair-- he's completely faking it! C-C-Completely! He's like some kind of monster!! I've never seen anything like it before! He wasn't faking anything, he was trying to kill me-- I-I think he seriously almost did!

Just-- stay away from him?! Alright?!

primordial

[The video feed clicks on, and at first, you might mistake the person on screen to be a dirty mop, what with the long messy strands of brown hair hanging down from his head. But on second glance, no, there's a face underneath all that, and it doesn't look that happy.]

W-why am I here? Again?! I didn't ask anybody to be here, this is not what I wanted, this is really, really, not good at all!!!

[And he murmurs and shakes his head, looking down at the ground as it he is wishing it could open up and swallow him right then and there.]

...

Yeah. Um. So...my name's Sam. Sam Erstwhile. I was here before, and then I was back home...and I guess I'm back here again. I don't know. So, really, you don't need to tell me about the whole Persona thing, I know about it. I still don't understand why in the world they would choose me to be here again...I'm no one special. Really, I'm not.

[A sigh.]

Erm, so has anything changed recently that I need to know about? Same old, same old? No crazy other-world field trips or the like? I don't think I could deal with another other-world field trip, the last one was horrible...

a_gentle_boy

[The video flips on and a young boy with golden blonde hair and somber blue eyes blinks slowly into the camera for a few moments. His speech is hesitant and his manner apologetic.]

Hi.

I, um... I think this is working now. Can anyone hear me? ...I'm sorry if I'm not doing this right; I've never used anything like this before. But they said this was how I could communicate with everyone, so... hello.

[He shifts uneasily as he speaks, though he manages a small smile as he introduces himself; his gaze falls now on a point just slightly right of the camera. Technology was not something he was terribly familiar with using - or ever really wanted to be.]

My name is Lucas. And it's very nice to meet all of you. I guess I'm using this now, because I... I'm happy to be here and help, I am, but I don't think I really understand why I'm here. I mean, I do understand about the monsters and the 'demons' and all of that kind of thing, and... of course, I want to help, but what I mean is... I'm not sure I understand why me and why... now. I-I know it's a bit selfish, but I...

I'm very tired.

Do you think I can go home for a little bit before I start here? I promise I'll come back and help; it's just -- you see, the thing is, I sort of needed to see if there was a home to go back to, still, and then this happened, and I really should... check.

[He swallows, and his eyes flicker to his feet as his speech becomes ever more incoherent.]

Um. Sorry, that didn't come out right at all. It's not like that -- I mean, it is, a little bit, but not very; it all should be fine, I just -- Oh!

...I'm sorry. This wasn't how this was supposed to go.

[He blinks hard and brushes briefly at his eyes before reaching to fiddle with the COMP, trying to turn it off. It will take him some time to be successful.]
