[Pardon the so-soon post, Hinoto-Ri, but surely an emergency calls for it. And it's not about plushes this time.]

[Filtered from Elizabeth]

[Theo can't really talk now, as he's going to try and reason with his deranged sister, but he's going to send a small warning out regardless of the circumstance.]

Please do not enter the premise of Pisces's 6th floor, it is much more dangerous than being outside. If you are living on the floor itself, or the one above or below it, please evacuate immediately. Please stay within a group.

[Well, that's that. Time for his second thing.]

[Private To Minato and Minako Arisato]

I apologize for the short notice, but please refrain from seeking to subdue Elizabeth. I do not doubt either of your powers, having seen both for myself, but I must insist you stay out of it unless it becomes certain that she cannot be stopped by my sister and I, should Margaret feel well enough to attempt to restrain her.

[... though to be honest he'd rather them not get into the fight anyway. they probably won't listen to him and he knows it but it's worth a shot.

Aaand finally, third. Gosh he hates October this is a terrible month.]


[Private to Margaret]

Sister? Are you feeling more yourself?

[he probably won't be replying unless it's urgent too, since he has quite the situation.]

[It's deadly silent, despite the fact Elizabeth is obviously in her room -- if the first-person perspective of the camera is anything to go by. It's lit by pale blue spotlights, giving it an oddly serene look --

but Elizabeth's voice, rising in its usual lilt, turns serene into eerie. It's only shortly after Ideo's post, and she's rather amused by the content of it. But no matter; she's here to talk.]


In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the son of Nyx and Erebus -- the goddess of the night, and the personification of darkness. He had a twin brother named Hypnos, who was the god of peaceful sleep, as well as many siblings whose names have been lost to the common tongue as they have faded into obscurity. While Thanatos is the god of death, he is a god of a merciless, peaceful death -- but many other deaths, such as those caused by the violent hands of man, have been counted in his arsenal.

Thanatos is an indiscriminate god. He hates all and is hated by all, for he is the torrent that extinguishes life.

[A small sigh.]

It is truly a pity, that such a magnificent figure would suffer such a tragedy. And he has even been outwitted in a few myths. However, that is only how mankind thinks of him. Every god must have a folly, in order for man to relate to him, despite the fact they are thought of as deities -- those beyond the reach of humanity.

[...But none of this is her point, and she - and her camera - look at her lap, where the Compendium lays. Her hands are folded neatly against it, and she laughs -- a little too cheerfully.]

Your kind has always fascinated me. [She drums her fingers on the leather book, almost thoughtfully.] Perhaps I would learn more about you if I were to let Thanatos tear you apart?

[She turns her gaze to a mirror she's placed beside her chair, and observant people might notice red eyes before she licks her fingers and turns off the feed, like wetting a candlewick.]

[Oh sure, Theodore has noticed things have been getting a little... hectic recently, especially since both of his sisters seem to be affected, but this might also be the only time these things get given away! Even if he might have to

oh no he's not lying he's lied by omission enough since he came here he's so not.

In any case, he's going to be giving out his ill luck gotten prizes! It expands quite far and, after asking a rather paranoid looking man pleasantly if he could use his cart for his plush display, Theodore's got them all nice and orderly from the first to hopefully to go (Mara--) to the least likely to go (... Mara? Ghoul.) and everything nightmareish in between. And, of course, the best way to advertise is to put it where everyone can see it! The advertisement, that is.

Which is where the network comes in. He's mastered this thing, oh yes he has, and it's staring right at what appears to have once been a simple cart for merchandise now filled to the brim with plushes ranging from large to small of Persona and demons that are not cute nor elegant and most some part a side the doesn't exactly want to think about of his guest.

Theodore clears his throat. The only bad part about this is that it's raining, and he's looking quite soaked. The plush are fine though! Sadly his blue resident clothes are not. Perhaps he should invest in those clothes he'd gotten... Ah, oh well.]


Good day, Hinoto-Ri. Might I interest you all in some... exquisitely made dolls? I have everything from the, ah, powerful Mara to the beginner's Ghoul. If you ask for one, there are chances I may have it so long as it is of the more, um, frightening designs. It is the time of the year for frightful items, correct? [... Maybe this was a bad idea who'd want these things-- stay strong!] And they are all for free. Or, if you'd be willing, I would like to trade them for dolls of the Jack family in particular, and I will give you a large sum if you manage upon a King Frost.

[Fool proof.]

I will be traveling through most of the districts with the exception of the Taurus, so if you see me please do not hesitate to stop me and ask for one. [A pause, and for a second he seems desperate.] Please. I will first be centered in Libra where my current residence is and I will continue throughout the city all day until the last of these are in the hands of someone who will cherish them.

[Please take these from me, his eyes seem to say. But that's ridiculous right? A resident's supposed to accept all parts of an individual. But they never said they had to like the form they came in. A list for reference, by the way, of his wares. Personas in front, Demons in back of his cart. Simply ask!]

[The feed begins--and will later end--with the face of a young woman. Her expression is stern as she carefully sets her new communication watch on the nightstand. She sits on her bed, arms folded and legs crossed, holding herself with dignity and poise. The image she's trying to present is somewhat ruined by a haphazard pile of stuffed animals behind her--but she's obviously trying to make the best of an uncertain situation.]

Good evening, Hinoto-Ri. My name is Cloche Leythal Pastalia. [She pauses--just for a moment--as if there was some other part of her name that she was used to including.] Like many of you who read this network, I am a new arrival to this city--a "Registered Extraterrestrial Guest." I arrived just this afternoon, in fact.

My home is Metafalss, which floats above the Sea of Death in Ar Ciel. [She unfolds her arms, gracefully resting one hand over her heart.] If those names mean anything to you, I would truly appreciate it if you made contact with me. Even if we were strangers there, please, do not hesitate to contact me--collaboration could only beneficial to us all.

I am eager to learn more of the circumstances not just of this world, but of those that you call home. I honestly believe that, by understanding each other and working together, we can better come to understand this city and the mysteries surrounding it. [Cloche stands and retrieves her watch. She walks carefully, so as to not jar the camera.] To facilitate that mutual understanding, I would like to share some information about something that has come with me from Metafalss.

And that... [At this point, she reaches the door of her balcony which she opens, with a flourish.] Is the Infel Pira. [Cloche turns the camera to the sky. Although it is tremendously far away, the latest addition to Hinoto-Ri's skyline is visible from Cloche's bedroom window.] The Infel Pira is my Song Server, the source of Song Magic for myself and other IPD Reyvateils. The shape may seem strange to you but, I assure you, it is a benign structure. As the Maiden of Aqua, I swear that it will cause no harm to the innocent citizens of this city.

[With that said, Cloche returns the camera's view to her own face.] I can only hope that my explanation has eased any concerns you may have about it. [She closes her eyes, looking contemplative.] This evening, I know very little. [She opens them again, a determined expression on her face.] But tomorrow morning, I shall know more. Each and every day presents itself a new opportunity to learn.

To all those who have listened... thank you very much for your time. I wish you all nothing but the best. Good night.

[Cloche does not fumble with the buttons of the watch. She neatly ends the feed after her closing remarks.]

Hey, so... I was thinking... These Persona things are kind of supposed to be us, right?

[He sure was sounding pretty unsure there. People that had seen him around could deduce that this was definitely nothing new.]

What if your Persona doesn't really fit...? Like, fit who you are? Do you think something weird happens?

[The video feed comes on to show a young man, no older than nineteen, wearing a white jacket and shirt. He looks a tad uncomfortable, as if he's unaccustomed to speaking to audiences.]

Um, hey. I guess it's about time I introduced myself, huh? I'm Captain Asem Asuno, Earth Federation Special Forces...though I guess that doesn't mean much here. But it does mean I'm a pilot, and I have my mobile suit here. So if you see a white, giant robot around, don't worry, because it's friendly. I'm here to help in any way I can.

But right now, I need some help. Can anyone tell me how to go about getting a job? Is there a procedure here, or do I just go places and ask for applications?

[He hesitates for a moment, before adding:]

Also, what are some good places to go for dessert?

[Well, well, well! Theodore has seen that everything has slowed down, and with the guests being introduced to the Velvet Room it certainly makes things easier for an introduction. He won't even have to explain much if at all, though that part kind of makes him sad.

He likes showing off his knowledge.

Regardless!! This guy is in the familiar wear of the Velvet Room still - he just can't leave it behind - and after a minute of staring at the screen to make sure he's got it right he smiles and bows. He's been practicing this in his room and damn if he doesn't get it right.]


Good evening, honored guests and masters of Hinoto-Ri. I am Theodore, a [SAYITSAYITSAYIT] former [whew good] denizen of the Velvet Room you have recently visited. While the form may have changed along with its hands, that room will always feel the same to one such as myself.

[A wistful look. How he longs to be back there.]

In any case, I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and helping as I can. If you still have any questions even after all of these elaborations or due to them, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will gladly answer them to the best of my abilities.

[please make him feel useful

it's just not the same if he doesn't have someone to help like that

--wait there was something else to these things. There's an awkward sort of pause as Theodore racks his brain and nods, smiling still.]


Oh, and as for things I enjoy... I quite like the view from horizontal bars, how challenging they may be to first climb, and takoyaki is a treat to be shared with those you consider friends. Please remain loyal to your bonds and maintain them in a timely manner.

[They're what help Lord Philemon, after all.]

Hello everyone! \(^∀^) I hope you've all settled in well!

My name's Minako Arisato. I've talked to a few of you already, but for everyone else, it's nice to meet you!

Now that things have calmed down a little I was wondering - how many of us were Persona-users before coming to Hinoto-ri? I think it might be good to meet and compare notes if we haven't yet, see what's the same and what's changed. And maybe we could also make a list of people with experience who can help with answering questions or training, or things like that! Just jumping into using a Persona can be pretty daunting...

For everyone else - what do you usually do for fun? Some of the things I like are music, volleyball, cooking... If we have enough people who like the same things, maybe we could even form a club! I wouldn't mind having someone to play volleyball with again. Or to go out to karaoke! (ノ´▽`)ノ♪

Anyway, that's all for now!

Hello, everyone. It's good to see the network in use.

[Still wearing a labcoat and a white shirt was Ideo, bowing to the camera way more elegantly than he probably had to. It was set up so that none of the building behind him was discernible, but those who had been there would probably recognize the lighting as that from the Labs themselves. Which...meant Ideo was still there at 10:30 at night, okay.]

My name is Ideo Hazama- some of you met me during the incident in our Sagittarius labs. First, I would like to thank those who participated in helping us push back the Anoli. We could not have succeeded without your help.

[His smile wasn't long-lasting, of course.]

As for those I have not personally met, I am glad you are here, and it is good to meet you at large. Reiko and I work in the Research and Development labs, and focus specifically on technology in relation to demonkind. She is the expert in demon-related combat, however, so any specific queries about such should be directed to her. My main expertise is demon-related defense, as well as negotiation. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me any time- I am always available.

If for whatever reason you cannot get a hold of either of us, please direct all questions to our associates- [Here, he motioned his hands, and a foursome of fairies entered the frame.] Hua Po, Chou-keshin, Mid Pixie and Ceu.

[The fairies poofed out of frame after a few waves and blown kisses, all except Ceu, who remained stone-faced and serious looking. Ideo didn't seem to notice.] Thank you for your time, and welcome to Hinoto-Ri.

[A young man clad in armor turns on the COMP. He looks into the camera with certainty in the audience beyond the lens. Despite his appearances, the technology doesn't seem to be an incredible challenge to him.]

My name is Oersted, a knight of Lucretia. I have been summoned here just as you all have for one reason or another. From this day on, I may either be your colleague or rival depending on where our paths take us.

It is for that reason I have called to all of you besides mere introductions.

I wish to know what all of you intend to contribute to this city in our coming days. You are all willing to fight when expected, yes? Then what reason do you have... besides being asked? And what is your reason?

... You may refrain from answering if you wish. This is just a way to satisfy my curiosity, nothing more, nothing less.
