I guess I'm new here. This place is really weird. It doesn't make sense.

It's Ushiro, by the way, if any of the others are here.

Hospital food sucks. They told me I needed to get my strength up by eating, but how are you supposed to eat when everything tastes like cardboard?

Also 'combat fatigue' is a stupid sounding diagnosis. It just sounds like you took a nap during a battle.

To those with siblings (brothers or sisters) and can spare a moment of their time: Tell me about your relationship with them.

[An odd post from Miyako, especially to anyone who knows her. But she have her own reasons for making this post, as always.]

terminally_clever

[There have been a lot of strange memory-related shenanigans going on in the city lately, and like so many others, Fumi has also been affected. She's had the odd fortune to receive memories from one of the people in Hinoto-Ri with the least similar memories to her own, so the end result is... interesting, to say the least. As the week goes on, the two sets of memories blend and collide in a variety of different ways.]

[Action; Capricorn Ward; May 18th]

[One of the first things that Fumi noticed after the start of the event was the sudden lack of the Bear +Anima that she's sure she's had ever since... well, for as long as she can remember, anyway. She can't quite recall how she awakened the power in the first place, but she does know it's been with her for a very long time and is suddenly gone. When she thinks back, the most obvious change that's happened in her life is joining up with JP's and becoming their network security specialist. The most obvious conclusion is that the spirit has left her out of disdain for all the modern technological trappings she's surrounded herself with.

To that end, Fumi has decided that camping out in the park and communing with nature is the best way to go. She can be found in the middle of the park in the Capricorn Ward, pitching a tent and building a small fire. Unable to leave her hobbies behind entirely, however, she also has a wireless access point set up, and her laptop is sitting on a large flat rock not far away. Oddly, though, she does look almost serene as she works on lighting her campfire.]

[Action; JP's Headquarters; May 21st]

[By this point, everything Fumi has tried from the 'communing with nature' angle has failed. It's getting difficult to concentrate on her studies, but as far as she's concerned the JP's archives are all she has left. She's got about a dozen books down from the stacks, spread out on a long table in front of her as she consults and cross-references information being displayed across several laptop screens. At the same time, her hands seem to be busily at work carving something out of a block of wood.]

[Video; JP's Headquarters; May 24th]

[It's almost the end of the event now, though Fumi doesn't know that. Senri's most traumatic memories continually fill her thoughts, and it's nearly impossible for her to concentrate between violent flashes of memory. The attack of the mad bear. The death of her father. Years of abuse as a slave. The confusion and pain before receiving the book and the eye patch. It's all she can do to concentrate on her research - even though she knows these images aren't real, that they don't belong to her, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with them.

Miraculously, though, she's managed to get herself hooked up to an EEG machine, determined to get a read on her brainwaves to see if her mind is being affected directly by whatever it is that's going on. Through some quick and insightful thinking, she's also managed to track the tangle in her destiny strings to its source - which wasn't hard, considering Senri himself was drawn to the JP's building by her memories. He's there too with her, electrodes and wires attached to both of their heads as she keeps a careful eye on the machine's readouts.]

The strings are tangled.

[That's all she says into the camera. It seems that Fumi has also inherited Senri's penchant for brevity. Normally she'd jump at the chance to give a long and laborious explanation of what's going on, but for now she's going for concise. It's just as well, since she seems to be suffering from no small amount of mental and emotional anguish, her hand covering her left eye as she winces sharply.

Even so, she's keeping the camera on, so if anyone wants to speak with either her or Senri, they're available for a chat.]

unbroken_chain

The camera feed snaps on suddenly, revealing a creature somewhat like a fox staring directly into it before winking and placing a finger to its lips. It snaps to attention as a young-sounding voice calls out from behind it.

"Okay, Zoroark, time for rehearsal! Today it's Brycen-Man, okay?"

The outline of the fox-like creature - Zoroark? - shimmers and distorts, resolving into a strangely-dressed man. It walks away from the camera and takes up a stance across from a young girl in an equally outlandish outfit, who clears her throat before drawing herself up and pointing directly at the masked man the fox turned into.

"Hold it! The Messenger of Truth and Ideals, Riolu Girl, is here! Stop right there, Brycen-Man! I cannot allow your mischief!"

The masked man laughs at this. He snickers so hard, in fact, that the illusion drops, leaving Riolu Girl staring at him, completely unsure of what's so funny. Still snickering, the fox points at the video feed with one finger, the masked girl looking in that direction. Her eyes wide behind her mask, she scrambles for the table the COMP is resting on.

"AAAA! That's not funny, Zoroark!"

Staring directly into the video feed, she starts babbling frantically.

"You didn't see that! NOBODY SAW THAT. THERE WAS NOTHING TO SEE."

[Even without actual video, it's pretty clear that the speaker is rather exhausted, or just too beyond putting emotional inflection in his voice.]

The Pleiades, attendants of Artemis and the lost daughters of Atlas, became one with the night sky to comfort their father. Orion, the Great Hunter who was slain by the Scorpion of Artemis, sought to conquer them. However, in his way lies the Great Bull, with it's fiery eye fixated on the Hunter.

[There's a pause, however brief, and his tone shifts to something a little more humanlike.]

Though there are many variations on these myths, it may be wise to also look in to them.

[VINDICATION YES WEEKS OF WASTING HOURS READING ABOUT THE MOST POINTLESS CRAP HE'S EVER HAD TO STUDY COME TO FRUITION PRAISE THE GODS HE HAD BETTER GET SOME KIND OF MEDAL WHEN THIS WAS DONE

No wait this was a bad thing ahem yes very bad the proper thing to do in this case was to maintain a certain air of decorum and er grave sincerity yes grave. ...Atsuro can't help grinning slightly anyway as the COMP feed flickers on.]

Look sharp, guys. Those of you who were around back in October know what this means. For everyone else... The news broadcast probably could have stood to be a little more informative.

Let's do a quick recap. Back in October, about a week before the 23rd, we started noticing that a few of us were acting a little strange. This escalated over the next few days until some of us were brainwashed into trying to attack people and some of us were brainwashed into being terrified of everything that moved. And, uh... sometime during all this, all of these giant scorpions started falling from the sky or something; I don't know. It was probably a totally related natural progression. Anyway, on the 23rd itself, a really huge scorpion monster appeared, and a few of us had to beat it off. We compared notes afterwards and realized that the behavioral changes all had to do with what star sign you had. If you have no idea what that is, just hold on a sec. The important thing is that the ones who were attacking had the sign of Scorpio and the ones who were frightened were Leos, Taurii, and Aquarius...es...ii.

I know a lot of you aren't from Earth, or if you are from Earth, you're not from the right time period to even have Scorpius or Taurus as constellations anymore. I can do a quick explanation of astrology if you want, but it's really a lot of trouble for something that's pretty much meaningless for you - It has to do with what day of the year you were born in, and which imaginary pictures formed by stars in the sky were closest to the sun then. There are 12 of them, and each one is supposed to mean different things about your personality and the people you'll fall in love with or something. ...Try not to think about it too much. You can just take a look at the little ID cards you get when you come to the city and your completely arbitrary sign should be listed there.

Anyway, we're already off schedule. The 21st - that's today - is the first day we're supposed to be under the sign of Taurus. If a monster appears, it's probably not going to happen for a few days so it looks like the government is trying to quarantine everyone before it does.

The one thing is... I don't want to undermine our great government or anything, but I don't think their predictions are right. Scorpios were the main targets last time because the sun was swinging into that area of the night sky; Leos, Aquariuses, and Taurii were affected because of something to do with the relationship between the signs. I never could find any consistent information or an exact chart or anything, but I don't think it's just going to be the same people as six months ago. We'll be able to gather more data after this round, but I think everyone should be on guard for emotional changes, regardless of what your sign is.

...Also be on guard for giant bulls, because that's really not going to be fun at all.

[Action; Scorpio District]

[It's the first night of the Firefly Festival, and Fumi's out to observe the light show. To anyone who's just met her for the first time since her arrival in Hinoto-Ri, it's probably a bit of an odd sight. She's sitting on a small hill overlooking the festivities below and just watching the fireflies dancing through the air and lighting up the night sky with their brilliance, laptop nowhere to be found for a change.]

Ah... it's so amazing...

[The smile on her face and the sparkle in her eye are like nothing she's displayed since coming here. She really seems to be genuinely enjoying herself, just sitting idly by while she takes a moment to enjoy the scene.]

[Video; 13th Hour; Leo District; locked to Yamato and Miyako Hotsuin]

[As the feed flickers on, Fumi's face is illuminated by the light from her COMP. The room she's standing in is dark, so it's rather hard to see what's behind her.]

Chief. Miyako. You're both going to want to see this. Meet me in the Leo District.

capitalbackup

[Considering a certain request she received, Miyako was stuck on how to handle this. She’s not the most social and outgoing of people. She is active, but Miyako knew very well she’s not the best possible person to advise that man about this. She only accepted the request for her own reasons.

But the request...after a thought, she typed up a post and put it on the network. Anonymously of course. Miyako doesn't want her name or face attached to this at the moment. If she's going to fulfil the request, she would give it her best and do it with all the possible information at hand.]

How do you get someone to be more social and active?

And get them to pick up a hobby?

spaztastic

Hey Hinoto-Ri. There's a little something I need help with.

[Shiki then shows this little guy on the feed]

This is Mr. Mew. He's a cat.

[She puts the cat plush away and shows a new stuffed animal on the feed.]

Now, this is Buta. He's a pig.

So, it's pretty clear, right? [She holds both of toys in front of her so that they can be seen on camera together.]

This is a cat.

And this is a pig.

Caaaaaaaaaaat!

Piiiiiiiiiiiiig!

[She heaves a breath, satisfied. Putting the toys away now.]

Hopefully, there won't be anymore confusion. Right? [beat] Neku Sakuraba?

[Video on the network; Action in Capricon Ward]

[Fumi's spent several weeks gathering information about Hinoto-Ri, Personas, the state of things in her world and various iterations thereof, and now it's finally time for her to begin her grand experiment. But in order to have something to experiment on, first she needs a Persona. She's only heard two different stories about them since coming to this place, and considering she doesn't already have one, the only thing left is to put herself in harm's way to force it to awaken.

And apparently, that's exactly what she's doing. When the feed clicks on, Fumi's busily securing the watch portion of her COMP in a safe place, setting it up to record what she's about to do. She flashes a small knowing smile at the camera without saying much of anything, and then walks off a short distance away, standing in the middle of the open field that makes up most of the Capricon District. It's dark, and during the 13th Hour to boot, but there's just enough light to make out her white china dress and the faint light of what appears to be a cell phone.

And Fumi just stands there in the middle of the field for a short time until she is predictably found by a group of fairly strong-looking demons that happen to be wandering through the area. They slowly make their approach, prompting very little reaction from Fumi whatsoever. As they get closer, they pick up speed, and finally she slowly raises her head to regard the demons impassively. As they tear toward her with their claws, there is a flash of light, and Fumi's Persona appears.

Of course, Vapula happens to be a support Persona, so there's precious little Fumi can do to fight back. She takes the demons' attack on the nose, grunting as she is forced back a few steps. For a moment or two, it seems that her gambit has backfired, but there is the briefest flash of a confident smile as she holds her cell phone out in front of her. A second flash of light emanates from the phone, and suddenly there is a demonic sheep sitting in front of Fumi, joining the fray.]

...Tao Tie. Finish them off.

[And that appears to be all the impetus needed. There is a great swelling of energy from Fumi's demon, and it lets the attack loose on the unsuspecting demons, utterly vaporizing them in a single shot. Megidoloan is always a nice standby for that sort of thing. And after a quick Mediarahan, Fumi's back in tip-top shape herself. She walks over to pat her Tao Tie on the head before summoning it back into her phone, and then at last walks over to her COMP watch, her newly acquired gryphon-winged lion Persona floating behind her.]

Well, then. That certainly was exciting. Chief, I'm ready to begin the next stage of my research.

terminally_clever

[After spending some time looking around town, talking with locals, and efficiently gathering information, Fumi's ready to introduce herself to the network. Except it's not so much an introduction as a combination lecture / interrogation. She doesn't have time for idle pleasantries - there is a new research topic afoot. Her face is expressionless as she launches right into her diatribe.]

Persona.

A concept first introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the early twentieth century, described as 'a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.'

[Dry and pedantic, just like she likes it. Although at this point, her features take on a hint of frustration.]

I have vague memories of having heard this word shortly before waking up in this city, and given the rather abrupt nature of my arrival, I feel safe in assuming the word holds a more significant meaning in this place than would normally be suggested by traditional psychological terminology. I've also gathered that I'm far from the only person to have arrived in this way, or to have experienced that vague dream upon arrival.

So, Hinoto-Ri, what can you tell me about the Persona phenomenon, and what is the most efficient way to awaken one? Please make your responses as brief and concise as possible. I may have found my next research topic.

[The woman smiles before ending the feed and waiting for responses.]

I assume you have all educated yourselves on what Philemon's intentions and goals are for this city in his latest charade, or you would not be wasting your time humoring that ludicrous and insipid excuse for literature.

Now, what about Nyarlathotep? Have any of you figured out anything about his plans for this city, or are you more concerned with petty child's play?

[A simple anonymous text goes out to the network today. Nothing malicious, honest, just curiosity speaking. For those who know him well, it’s anything but anonymous when they read it. It's a habit of his, after all, and bringing up his identity (or attaching an identity at all) might cause a bit of bias...though asking questions anonymously would subject him to some bias from those browsing the network anyway as well. ~~Shhhh.~~

Ever-curious, ever-wondering. And...a bit ever-tactless, at times. Despite the fact that several people just returned from something quite traumatic, he’s most interested in their thoughts. However, others are certainly welcome too. Nothing wrong with that.]

Though seemingly unpredictable, the power to traverse worlds may contribute to the growth in humanity’s possibilities. But will it lead to man's destruction instead, or...?

[Of course, he may sound a bit detached, but considering his own situation...oh well. Most of the humans here seemed to want to go "home", despite their duties here, and despite the need of their presences here.

And then an apparently illogical topic jump/subject change. Honestly, it’s something he’s been wondering for quite a while now, ever since his arrival. Now that people have experienced more of the proof of existence of multiple worlds, surely this would be a good time to bring it up.]

Hinoto-Ri, I wish to know. What do the worlds you hail from possess that make you desire to return to them so?

[A pause in the typing, as if he just thought of something else.]

Or, for those who have recently returned, another question, if you will. What in this world did you desire while you remained in another?

[...He’s expecting answers like “not going through hell and back”, for the last one. Though given what he’s overheard, he’d pick Hinoto-Ri over wherever they went himself any day. Alcor couldn’t blame them in the least. Humans shouldn't have to needlessly suffer...]
