How do you even work this thing... is it even on??

[ The sound of a rather young, cheerful voice can be heard long before the video feed starts up, though when it does, it shows the face of a rather happy looking young woman with eyes bright and a smile on her face. ]

Oh... I guess it really IS working, isn't it.

[ She raises a hand to wave to anyone who happens to see this. ]

Hello there! I gotta say, that whole nifty hologram thing was very informative and I kinda dig it. [ Her smile falters a touch after as a thought crosses her mind and her shoulders slump for a moment afterward. ] I mean, no... i'm not really happy to be trapped somewhere again when I thought I actually got out... but there's a definite silver lining to this, you know!

[ If anything, Hina was known for being quite the optimist and now that she was out of that dreadful school, her mood was quite considerably improved. ]

If I understand everything that girl said before, there's five cities then, right? One of them's gotta have like... a gym... or even better, a pool! Please tell me there's something like that around here! [ She sounds awfully desperate there, eyes bright and eager as she addressed that and seemed to remain so until a distant grumble nearby got her attention and her tanned cheeks filled with a pink hue, even as her expression shifted to one of semi-sheepishness. ] Oh... and one more thing...

Can anyone direct me to the nearest place where they might sell donuts? I'd really appreciate it.

Hello everyone! It's Sakura.

I know people are busy but I wanted to try and get a soccer game going. I haven't ever played but it's a lot of fun so let me know if you're interested. We need at least four but we can have more people if there are people interested.

Right now I know one other person who wants to play.

Thank you!

[As the feed clicks on, Akihiko looks rather... nervous. He was never good with public speaking, that had always been Mitsuru's thing. But... without her here, it fell to him to explain what was going on.]

As I'm sure a bunch of you know, there was recently a... thing where people were kidnapped and placed inside a gate linking to Attleton. The place the gate links to is... rather unusual but I am familiar with it.

[He gestures behind him to what looked like a TV filming set as far as the eye could see.]

I figure you guys deserve an explanation as to what goes on in here. This world is native to creatures called Shadows. Beings created from negative thoughts and emotions that people try to deny. The selfish, ugly side of humanity given form. In my world, the only way to fight these Shadows as they sought to overtake humanity was through a power known as Persona, something I'll get into later.

If a person enters the gate of their own will, the world looks like this, and they can leave at any time, however... should a person be forced in, it apparently works in the same way it does in my world. The world twists and forms a dungeon around the victim reflecting their inner turmoil, and a Shadow will be born from that, attempt to kill their counterpart and take their place in the physical world.

However, if a person can face their Shadow and accept themselves for who they are, they are granted the power of Persona to use within this world.

[He wasn't going to get into how he obtained his Persona as that would take another hour to explain.]

There are a couple other people from my world with this power here, but out of respect for their privacy, I won't be naming them. I, however, am part of a group called the Shadow Operatives - a group of trained Persona Users that operate independently of other law enforcement groups to deal with Shadow-related incidents. As such I will be making routine patrols through here now that I know it's here. I will also do my best to answer any questions you may have about Shadows and Persona.

[Private to Yukiko and Naoto]

On a side note, just thought you should know, Mitsuru isn't here anymore. So let me take care of this sort of thing as best I can. If I need backup I'll let you know, but... you guys deserve a chance for a normal life.

[ The image is a bit shaky at first; however, where the image is shaky the audio is not. There is a soft murmur of confusion that crackles across the system, definitely female, before things go still and the image of the young magician appears more clearly than before.

She's not so much looking into the device at the moment, no. She's looking around, and the expression on her face matches her earlier tone. This place is definitely not the office.

Finally, she regards the phone in her hands, tapping it a few times. ]

Daddy? Polly? If this is some kind of trick... it's amazing! I didn't realize you guys were going to start practicing magic, too!

[ She beams for a few moments, before sighing. No, she's simply hoping that this is either some odd dream; or that the mentioned two had in fact succeeded in performing the world's most amazing trick. ]

...Athena? Anyone?

[It's been a while since Gou has made an appearance on the network, but now she comes with a question and possible job offers.]

Hi everyone. If you don't know who I am, my name is Kou [Nagisa you better not ruin it, you little shit] and I wanted to ask a few things regarding my business.

First of all, I was wondering if there's anyone here who's into fashion design that would be interested in a job. If you don't know already, I own the Sametobi SC in Genessia, located on 16th Iris Avenue. I know I started it at a strange time, but with summer coming up soon enough, I've been thinking of possibilities and I was interested in hopefully making a shop for anyone who's looking for any swim gear. So while I don't know how reliable shops are with swim suits, I was hoping there was someone out there that would be interested in making some for that purpose.

Second of all, due to a few circumstances, I'm in dire need of help. I thought I could hold it off on my own, but one of my friends has left and the other can no longer perform his duties for personal reasons. That's why I'm offering a few positions. If you're interested in any of them, feel free to contact me and we'll set up a time and date to meet for an interview. I'll also allow walk in interviews for anyone interested for the next few days.

I really need someone who would be interested in coaching. That's the most important one, but I would also love someone for the front desk. And since I'm thinking of expanding the business to include a store eventually, I'm looking for one or two people to work there as well as a designer. There's also spots open for maintenance and cleaning that would be most appreciated.

[Please send help. This girl is about to pass out from all of this work soon, even if she's playing it off like she's totally okay right now. She's in over her head.]

And since I'm on the subject, I'd just like to remind everyone that there is a swim club if anyone is interested in joining. Feel free to stop down here at any time and sign up. Until then, let me know or come and visit me.

Thank you for your time.

[She'll end it with that note as she goes back to killing herself with a lot of work.]
