[Shortly after everyone returns from the Geartopia adventure, their COMP feeds flicker to life to reveal a small anthopomorphic dog girl, eagerly smiling and offering a friendly wave.]

Hello!  I hope everyone made it back safe and sound.  I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself - my name is Isabelle, another Visitor like you all, and Mayor Sakahagi's new assistant!  I'll be working with Miss Junko to represent the concerns of the Visitors in the city, so if there's anything you would like to say to the Mayor or suggestions you might have for the city, please let me know and I'll make sure he sees them.  I know some of you were worried about the meeting the Mayor was having before with some of the citizens of the city who were concerned about the Visitors, so I'm here to report the results of that meeting so no one will have to worry.

[She reaches for a stack of papers, shuffling through it for several seconds more than is probably strictly necessary.]

Oh!  Um... sorry!  I'll just be a moment!

[The feed goes black for a few seconds, but there is still audio, and Isabelle can be faintly heard whining things like 'oh no, where did I put those' before she comes back.]

Ah!  Here it is!  Sorry for the delay...

[Clearing her throat, and with a small blush on her cheeks, she continues.]

First, it's been decided that all Visitors of the appropriate age need to attend school - that's elementary up through high school.  Anyone old enough to have graduated high school is free to enroll in one of the city's higher education facilities, but that's their own choice!

Second, there is no curfew for Visitors because of the need to protect the city during the 13th Hour.  However, very young Visitors under the age of 10 will need to have a parent or guardian with them.  This does not apply to demons, ghosts, robots, clones, or Visitors who may have been created recently as part of a laboratory experiment.  If there's any question about whether the curfew would apply to you, feel free to ask!

Third, the Mayor would like me to remind you all that the legal drinking age in the city is 20, and that this will be enforced the same way for the Visitors it is for permanent residents.

And last, as a matter of public decency, anyone with a, um...  [she blushes again at this point, averting her eyes from the camera] ...uh, visually questionable Persona... should try to avoid calling it out during the day, especially when there are children around.  There are demons and other scary monsters in the city, but the Mayor is concerned about protecting our youth.

[Isabelle coughs into her fist, quickly moving on from that point.]

Um... and that's all!  I've also prepared a Visitor satisfaction survey to get an idea of how you are all enjoying daily life in Hinoto-Ri.  This will also be a chance to suggest improvements to make the city a better place for the citizens and Visitors alike, so please take the time to look at it and fill it out!  The survey will be anonymous, so please be as honest as you like!  I'll report the results in a few weeks.

[Smiling, she bows her head, tail wagging in the background.]

It's been very nice meeting you all!  Again, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at any time!

[Video; filtered to Desco immediately after the last call]

Um... Miss Desco?  I was wondering if I could have a quick word with you.

[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.]
