W-What happened to all of my saves?! I found a Legendary sword yesterday! A Legendary sword. Do you guys know the chances to proc a Legendary drop?! It's like, 1 in 8192 kajillion! Probably higher! I could go the rest of my life without ever getting another one!

This is totally not acceptable! I demand compensation! Whatever Hinoto-Ri is doing this time, I'm not gonna stand for it! Who's with me?! Do you hear the people sing singing the song of angry m --

Uh.

Never mind, it dropped again from the same enemy and probably after the same number of RNG rolls or whatever. 'K, false alarm, everyone can go back to their daily business.

I've got a new sword to test; you guys'll have to figure this one out yourselves.

[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?

[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.

bunnyboy

[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.

[May 16th, action, Aquarius Ward]
( 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.

[May 22nd, private video to Minako Arisato]
( Hey, Minako... I think we probably need to talk. )

[Hey look Elaine's actually addressing the network for once!]

I, for one, would like to apologize for my behavior last week. I'm aware that it was out of my control, but it was still highly foolish of me.

While I'm taking responsibility for my rash actions, I would also like to turn myself in for the firetruck debacle. It's only appropriate since I... ugh, decided to make myself captain of the vehicle for the evening.

[She cringes in embarrassment. It's like she was poxed again, except without the inexplicable craving for coleslaw.]

...And, since I have everyone's attention, has anyone seen my husband around? Very tall, yellow hair, answers to the name of Guybrush, looks a bit like a flooring inspector? He doesn't appear to be in his apartment and he's not answering any of my calls. The last time we had one of these astrological sign happenings, it affected him rather badly and I'm worried that he may have run off and hidden himself somewhere and hasn't gotten word that everything has blown over. If anyone sees him, I would appreciate if you let him know that I'm looking for him? Thank you!

[The video feed turns on to show one (1) very angry Noda. Behind him is Otonashi laying on the ground, knocked out. It seems like the two had gotten into an argument yet again. With a growl, he points at the knocked out redhead before yelling,]

Someone tell that stupid redhead wuss to stop pissing me off!

[And then the video feed ends as he slams on the device to turn it off.

Wow, rude.]

My brother Minato is recovering from mono! That means he's still contagious. So if he takes you out somewhere, don't kiss him, even though he's cute. Or share straws or chopsticks. (And it might be good to wash your hands if you touch him but try to do it quietly because he's sensitive.)

But he is getting better and he's been sleeping all month, so if you see him you should say hello and get to know him! He's a really nice guy when he isn't full of germs. ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ He likes music and listening to people talk to him, and he'd really love to make some new friends.

[This post comes with only the best of sisterly intentions. Minato may love to sleep, but she'd seen how grumpy he'd gotten with almost a month of enforced bed rest. It was time for him to get out and meet new people, and what better way than to give him a ~~not-so-~~gentle push?

Whatever her purpose was though, it got a reaction. Minako didn't bother to wait until her brother was asleep again to post, so not too long after her PSA goes up, another message quickly follows from a somewhat embarrassed and rather annoyed Minato.]

Please disregard most of what my sister has posted here! Except the part about mono.

But I'm not sensitive, and I'm not looking for anyone to kiss right now. [He has a kind of sort of girlfriend here, after all.]

Though I guess if anyone knows much about playing the violin or likes running, it would be nice to find someone to run with a few times a week when I'm better.

[It feels kind of weird asking about that, but... without Akihiko, running and keeping in shape is going to get lonely, and he doesn't know if the school has a track team. So, even if he is annoyed with his sister for starting all this, he... is kind of slightly grateful. And he might as well take advantage of it to ask about a running partner, right?

Besides, maybe there's someone else out there who plays the violin or something, too. He missed the concert due to illness, and he regrets the chance not to find some more people who play music.]

When the video starts, one will see Shoutarou standing outside of a pool hall - he adjusts his hat a bit before speaking.

"Hello, Hinoto-Ri. The name's Hidari Shoutarou, and I'm here with some news for you all, and a couple of questions.

To start, a rather unexpected thing has happened - whatever strange powers surround this place have seen fit to bring my detective agency building here. I suppose that means I'm stuck here for the long haul, I may as well start offering my services as a private detective. Just come see me in Pisces district, at the Narumi Detective Agency."

There's a pause, then Shou frowns and huffs. "...of course, whoever brought it here has a hell of a sense of humor, and put it across the street from the other Narumi Detective Agency..." The camera jerks, and points to the other one for a moment.

"The city's still working on getting power connected to the building, but I'm gonna call it open for business anyway now that I've moved in."

He clears his throat, and looks just a little more serious. "As for the questions - has anyone here heard of the Transmigration 9? It was where I was before I wound up here. Just wondering if any other crewmembers are here. My other question..." His face turns a bit awkward at this point. "...does anyone have any advice on taking care of a kitten? I've dealt with an adult cat that knows how to behave already before, to a degree, but a kitten is outside my experience."

[Yep. Most of you have seen this already, but that damn book appears on your screens this early morning, folks. After a moment, it pulls away to reveal Yu yet again, curled up on the couch in front of the TV in the living room of the Dojima house, about ready to take advantage of this horrible concoction of troll-ness.]

Hello. My name is Naoto Shirogane. I thought I would at least introduce myself over the network. I'm afraid I still have quite a bit to learn about this place but what I do know so far has been quite intriguing. The method of accessing the network is a bit unique as well...

[There's a brief pause as if she's considering her words carefully.]

I'm curious so if you would indulge me for a moment... How many of you were familiar with the term 'persona' prior to coming here? Also, who was familiar with the term in the context of using it to describe the power that people gain here?

[It's only been a week since the place sprung up from the ground and Yukiko has been hard at work trying to clean the place up. After the first contact, the city had mentioned a company that would send people over to become her new staff. Only problem is that they won't arrive until next week, without a doubt due to the Grand Prix coming up. At first Yukiko was fine with it and she could get things straightened around so it would be nice for the soon-to-be workers.

She didn't expect any kind of pest problem to occur. And not just any kind of pests like the normal bugs, rats, or others. These buggers were demons. Not just any demons...

Pyro Jacks.

Those little bastards who were half the reason why the holidays went crazy are relaxing in her hot spring and having a lovely time. Well, until Yukiko showed up.]

GET OUT OF HERE!!!

[That's the polite way to say it...]

[Video: Glasses Vision]

[When the video turns on, the first thing people will notice that it's dark with little spots of floating light popping up. And is that...laughter? Damn pumpkin thing!]

I have a pest problem right now: Pyro Jacks have somehow decided to invade this place and I need them out before any damage can get done!

[Wood and fire? Yeah, do not mix. Even with Amaterasu standing there for light purposes, it's not helping the situation.]

If anyone has ice powers, an ice persona, or can get rid of pests, I can use your help at the inn in Scorpio. I don't have much for payment but when it opens, I can at least give you a free night's stay.

[Now if you excuse her, she has some Pyro Jacks to boot out.]

[ Late Friday morning, Minato manages to coordinate his sluggish movements enough to start a video feed on his COMP. He'd honestly rather just ask this by text, but he's having difficulty focusing enough to type, and video is easier. He's looking pretty pallid, though his cheeks are flushed with fever and his eyes are a bit glazed, as he sniffs and shivers and blinks blearily at the camera. ]

Anyone know where to go to see a doctor? [ His voice is very froggy, and although he opens his mouth to say something else, he breaks off with a cough, and he turns the COMP away while he recovers, muffling his coughs into the crook of his elbow. ]

Ah... sorry. I also... wanted to know if the doctors here made house calls...

[ It's cold outside, and he has a fever and doesn't relish the thought of stumbling to a clinic on the other side of the city. ]

Thanks.

Hello, everyone! ＼(=^‥^)/’

I have a request for the Network today. I don't know if there's enough time for this before the tournament, but I fight with a naginata and it's really conspicuous to just carry around. Since we have some great engineers here, I was wondering if someone would be able to design a naginata that could fold up or retract to fit into a handbag. I'll pay you for the trouble, of course.

And also in exchange - Well, not really in exchange, because this part is open to everyone! But the tournament uses Evokers, which is a pretty different style of Persona-summoning from usual. I use an Evoker normally, so if anyone would like to practice with one, or practice with a Persona in general, I'd be glad to help out! I'll be down in the Capricorn ward if you'd like to meet me there.

And, that's all I have for today. Thanks for reading!

[Really, local media? Really?]

Why would anyone write something like that? Who cares about that kind of thing, anyway? Shouldn't the media be focusing on something more important? Something that actually matters?

... and are there really people out there looking at my-- watching me run?

Cut it out.
