[The camera is slightly obscured - it's clearly Minako, but the watch's camera isn't being held at the proper angle to show her entire face. She's smiling, though.]

Hello, Hinoto-ri! I don't want to take up too much of your time, because I know a lot of people are busy right now, but I have a story to tell, if you're willing to listen!

Once upon a time, a girl grew up all alone. One by one, the people she cared about disappeared from her life. The girl kept smiling and trying to make friends, but deep down, she knew the truth. Eventually, those friends would leave her too. Her destiny was to be left behind.

Then one day, the girl was given a choice. Disappear quietly along with the world and the people you care about, or give up everything to save them - including her soul. Her sacrifice meant the world would live, but she would still be alone. Forever.

[She pauses, the cheerful smile still on her lips.]

Which choice do you think the girl made?

[and then she leans forward, finally opening her eyes to reveal bright, yellow irises.]

Which choice should I have made?

[Normally he wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the fact he tends to look at his mirror so often.]

Hey uh...

D'you guys see something weird in your mirrors during the 13th hour? [He really hates to be the bringing of bad news but...]

I hate to be such a downer, babes, but I swear I saw Hades for half a minute. And then my reflection looked all weird....

[No greetings, no introductions... Fumi's just getting right down to business.  It's not often she bothers broadcasting things over the network herself, after all.  Leaning back in her office chair briefly, she folds her arms before addressing the feed.]

For those of you who were acquainted with her, Miyako Hotsuin is no longer in the city.

[Her voice is flat and her face its usual deadpan expression as she says this.]

As this leaves me as the only official member of the JP's branch office, I will be assuming control of the newly renamed JP's Hinoto-Ri Branch.  It's been here long enough that continuing to call it the Nagoya branch seems a bit silly, and I'm relatively sure Miyako had been preparing for an official name change anyway.

[But wait, there's more.]

Additionally, following the departure of Kandori, Takeba, and Kirijo, and in view of the fact that I worked with each of them personally before the recent attack, I will also be taking over administration of the MAGI facility following the cleanup and reconstruction effort.

[No questions, no voting, she's just doing it, apparently.]

However, as there were three branches of the MAGI facility itself without even considering the resources required for the upkeep of the JP's location, I will be conducting interviews for the additional staff and personnel needed to keep things running smoothly.  For my own part, I will be acting in Takeba's capacity as the new head of the MAGI Research Branch.

At minimum, I will also require colleagues to take over Kandori and Kirijo's work as the respective heads of the Weapon and Development Branches.  Please contact me via secured network communication to apply for any of these positions or as support staff for either MAGI or JP's.  You may contact me in the same fashion if you have any questions about what the positions will entail.

...That is all.

here's a question for the network:

why would an ally kiss you on the cheek?

i know it's a greeting gesture in some cultures, but there are also other connotations and it's just plain confusing. no explanation was given, either. it's just really confusing and i don't get it.

thx for any insights anyone might have.

Um... I have a question.

I-It's about a friend.

So my friend has a boy she likes.  She's liked him for a while.  And she told him she liked him on the night of Tanabata.  But the boy told her he'd never thought about her like that before, and that he needed some time.  Oh, and he also said that he wanted to keep being her friend no matter what.

...Should my friend be happy or sad?  He didn't say no, but he didn't really say yes, either.  Does that mean maybe?  And when he said he needed time, what do you think he meant?  Time to think about her like that?  Do you think he'll say yes later?

Um...!  My friend would really like to know what you all think!  I'll be sure to tell her.  She's shy, so...

...yeah.  Thank you again!

[Now those who know Blues, which probably isn't a lot of people, will find this post to be really really strange. More or less because he thinks he posted it under the guise of anon and well.

them tricksy pixies went and fixed that. So while he is very sure this was posted as anon? It ain't.]


So.

Say you have a machine, it's from your world but it has a flaw. One that you can't actually fix yourself because well. You can't.

It wouldn't go well if you tried, but getting someone else to repair it is a bit tricky. Because you don't want it to be changed too much, but you want it to be working properly. And there is the fact that you don't know any of the people who could fix it nor how good they are at what they do.


[wow, so rambly there get to the pooooooooooooint.]

I guess what I'm saying here is this; who here is good with machines?

 [ Rika has played this game before. She's rolled the dice and left one world to go to another. Or at least, Furude Rika has. But she isn't that girl. She's her copy. A data copy, reflecting the thoughts and memories of one set of collected memories. A data copy who had settled down once and for all in a world all her own. So when she opens her eyes and finds herself stepping out of a bizarre dream, this Rika is actually mildly surprised. The modern cityscape is so strange to a girl from the 1950s and even her memories of Okinomiya compare to this place.

After walking around in a confused daze for a brief amount of time, Rika observes another person using their communication device. After a bit of trial and error, Rika figures out how to use her own watch.
]

Mii. Big Brothers? Rena? Mion? Are any of you there? [ She tests the waters in her "Furude Rika voice". While Rika may technically be sixteen years old now, her appearance does not entirely reflect that. So she is still comfortable pulling up bits of her twelve year old persona. This means sounding cutesy and innocent, even when her inner thoughts are coated in sarcasm and pessimism. ] Excuse me? Might I ask someone to better explain my situation? I seem to have become lost. What direction is Mayfield? My home is very close by, so I will be able to find my way from there. And I really should not be late for supper, or certain people may attempt cooking and "crackle crackle gooo"  burn down the entire neighborhood. I rather like my new neighborhood.

[Hello, Hinoto-ri, today you are greeted by a man in a lab coat. A lab coat with pins on it. Clearly this man is the most professional.]

Greetings, good morning, salutations, et cetera. My name is Doctor Owen Harper and I just wanted to say hello.

I'm in no way new, so save your breath and don't try to give me the big spiel, I just know I haven't put my face out there yet and that's not the greatest idea when you're a doctor.

Doctor-patient trust and all that.

I've recently started on with the hospital here, so I'm just here to let you know which face to look for.

//Locked to the Visitors only//

And since all intelligent people take their governments with a grain of salt, I'll be happy to do house calls if government-run facilities aren't your thing.

[Hell, they weren't even really his thing.]

Well, that ends your lovely PSA, enjoy doing whatever it is you lot do around here.

[There's a pause as he's about to turn the recording off, but then has second thoughts.]

Actually one more PSA for the extended quality of your lives! Sora Naegino: if anyone gets the notion to hurt her or starts looking to date her, just understand that I am willing and able to make your death look like an accident.

[Now have a cheery smile!]

Thanks!

[He's been silent for a while. Ever since arriving, Yarne's been dealing with trying not to get himself killed...or so it seemed, maybe, to everyone else. In actuality, he's been spending the last week getting less and less social, to the point where he's going on long walks without telling his allies and avoiding looking at his communicator altogether. He's even taken to sleeping outside of his assigned room.

Today is different, though. After fighting some demons during the thirteenth hour, he turns it on. At the moment, he's leaning against a wall not far from his apartment, looking a bit feverish. He's holding his head in one hand and glaring down at his watch in the other. There are two things very wrong with Yarne's appearance...to those who know him. For one, he's wearing a pair of jeans and a thick black coat. Two, there's a bit of blood on the axe leaning next to him...and some on his face. He hasn't washed up.]


This week has been nothing more than a pain in the ass.

[His hand leaves hand so he can reach down to his side and pull up his evoker. He looks at it for a moment before tossing it to the side. It hits the ground with a loud clang.]

...That's an evoker. It ain't doing shit to bring out my Persona. [He growls.] There's something wrong. What the hell is it? It's a gun, but...despite everything I've done, I shouldn't know what it is. [His message may be cryptic, but the memories to him are so clear. He's been shot before, fixing something...taking care of something. But he also knows, extremely vaguely, that despite being able to hold one and use one without flinching...that he's never seen one before.]

...Tch. [He brings his hand back to his head, starting to shake a little. The way he scowls, it's very clear that this Taguel is in great pain.] What's it all mean? Probably nothing more than a waste of everyone's time, but...something's different.

[He scowls again, but it's followed by another wince. His head hurts so much...he has to take a knee at this point. When he speaks again, there's a renewed firmness to his voice. He tries to set the message to private, but...he doesn't know how.]

Minako. Are you...busy right now?

[...He's not sure why he's asking, and it looks like he's about to say something else...but there's a loud screech and a fireball thrown at him. He dodges without flinching.]

Tch. Figures. [He grabs his axe and reaches to turn off his feed, but not before he says one more thing.] Time to say adiós, assholes.

Ahoy, ya landlubbers!

[Yeah, that's Labrys, alright. She's ditched her girls' summer uniform for something a bit more...masculine. She wears a long black trench coat and pants, along with some upgraded armor...no, those are her robotic arms? Whatever, they're metal and well-protected. Her fashion serves a practical purpose and isn't intended to be pretty and dressy like those...rags she had on earlier. After all, it's dangerous to be a girl in a pirate's world.

Wait... She's a robot in a human's world...no. No, that doesn't make sense. She's a pirate. She has a crew back home.]


After what happened today, I need someone to point me in the direction of the nearest mug of grog. I could use a stiff drink to get my head in order.

Atsuro's job at Monoceros Community College wasn't exactly stimulating... )

...Late that night, the sounds of tortuous piano playing can be heard wafting out of the open-access music room in the college. Anyone who investigates will find Atsuro staring at his fingers as if they're possessed while semi-competently playing what sounds vaguely like a polka.]

[May 20th, text, public]
By the fifth day or so, it has become patently obvious that something is wrong. )

Hey, everyone! I've got a question for you all. It's kind of hard to explain, but... anyone else just have this feeling that something's not quite right? I guess the best way to say it is, I'm pretty sure I didn't have three sets of grandparents. ...There's probably nothing to complain about, though! Free family members; there are much worse things that could happen. I'm pretty sure it has to do with those fortunes we got last week, heh; I got the highest one for 'family'!  But... let me know if something similar has happened, OK? Don't worry, guys, I don't think it's anything serious! (≧ω≦)b

Oh, and hey, Kazuya...  I've gotta talk to you about something.  ...I think there might've been something like Persona already in our world.

[ It's been... well, a day, more or less.

Robin's had enough time to get more-or-less settled in, get some basic information, and figure out how this strange communication device worked. Thankfully, she was a quick study - no embarrassing slip-ups in handling technology for her!

And thus, with all of that out of the way, it was time for another important task. The video feed turns on to show the face of a young woman, a fairly serious look on her face. A dark-haired woman can be seen in the corner of a screen, and manly "hiyah"s and such can be heard in the background. ]


This is supposed to connect to everybody who's arrived to this city from elsewhere.... right? My thoughts go out to every messenger that's been put out of business by this.

My name is Robin, and I'm looking for anybody connected to the Ylissean army. If you are, when see this message, please contact me back for our location. You might not recognize me as the Robin you know, but-

[ The manly voice in the background cuts in- ] BINDING BLADE!!! [ Owain can now be seen in the background, his sword... neatly cutting through the wall.

Robin turns her attention towards him. ]
Owain!! As small as this room is, you're going to practice something like that!?

[ Tharja can be seen more clearly as Robin gets up to scold Owain, but only for a moment as Robin turns the feed off. ]

Mm. My Persona woke up during that... stuff. I don't like it. I can't get rid of it, right?

[That's annoying. He's quiet for a few long moments before speaking again, tone a little flat.]

And... how do you know if you're real?

[And even if he is real, what if the him outside of the game is so different than the him in the game that they might as well be two people?]

Hi! Sorry to be a bother, but I think I need to ask for a little help when it comes to summoning my Persona for the first time. I'd probably just do it like anyone else, really! It's just that doing it the normal way would be a little more dangerous than it usually would be.

Anyway, if anyone with an Evoker and some time on their hands could meet with me, I'd appreciate it! If any strong fighters could afford to hang around, just in case, I'd appreciate your help, too. I don't know if it'll be necessary... It depends on how Evokers work, I guess. If worst comes to worst, though, I'm going to need someone to help me calm down.

I don't know how I can properly repay someone for doing something that could be dangerous for a stranger, but I've saved some money if you'd like to be paid that way. I can also owe you some favors if you don't mind.

Thanks.
