[Video] Gearing up for the first issue!

[dualpinkpistols]

Ciao, Vatheon~!

[ Have a perky journalist, guys. She's smiling at the screen. ]Seems like the influx of newcomers has stopped as predicted, huh? I'd like to take the time to say "hi!" to everyone here, new and old, if we haven't already met. I'm Maya Amano, and it's nice to meet you! Things can get a little hectic here, though it's mostly a nice

You write a magazine? Awesome! I'll be sure to subscribe once you get published!

[Haruka takes a moment to think about her dream. It's kind of been derailed after everything that's happened in her time, but....]

I'm torn, actually! I don't know if I want to be a doctor or a teacher, but I'll certainly have music on the side.

[Filter starts here~]

You're on mine and Yukari's floor, right, Amano-san? It's nice to talk to you! What's your Persona like?

[Filtered]

[dualpinkpistols]

Yeah, I do! Actually, I usually just write articles and edit and stuff, but I want to start my own here. It's kind of been a bit of a headache, I had no idea it'd be this much work. It took a bit, but once I have everything organized, you guys will definitely get the first print!

[ Same here. She's careful to make sure it stays filtered after that. ]

Yeah, I am~ I've spoken with Yukari-chan and Mina-chin already! From what I know, what I call Persona isn't actually held down to one Persona in specifics like you guys usually have? Mine ability's closer to Mina-chin's--I can use multiple Personas, but only ones I have a good affinity with.

I started with Maia... she's mostly a healer with some water magic interspersed. Artemis isn't much different, but she's a lot stronger. She specializes in ice and healing magic, but she can also use Almighty and Holy magic.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to it, Amano-san!

[Haruka blinks, amazed.]

Whoa, that's amazing! I didn't think having multiple Personas was common, but I guess it's different with you and the Persona-users you know? I started out the same as Minato-kun, too! Orpheus was my first Persona, and I can use multiple Personas like him. It's weird and hard to explain....

Water magic? I didn't know there was such a thing! That's neat!

[Filtered; 1/2]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ She grins. ]

Actually, my entire group shares a stock of Personas, but we've all got different affinities for certain Arcana, you know? I think it's because we're all different people. We're from Sumaru city, by the way.

[ She pauses thoughtfully, considering. ] From what I know, our group is REALLY different from yours. You guys are also about... ten years ahead of us?

[2/2]

[dualpinkpistols]

... Wait, you've both got...

[ Orpheus. The same ability. ... Oh goodness. No one has the same Persona, but then Junpei also had Hermes, like Jun had... she considers. ]

By "hard to explain," do you mean "we're the same person from different realities"...?

[ This sounds familiar. ]

[flutterbyfool]

You know, that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, think so. I've heard something about Sumaru city, but I can't remember.

[Haruka nods and gives the older woman a sheepish smile.]

Basically, yeah! Most of the SEES group you see here is from Minato-kun's reality. Akihiko-senpai had been from mine, though. But it's neat to meet the person I would've been if I had been born as a boy, you know?

[dualpinkpistols]

If you've heard anything about Sumaru, then that's good news.

[ There is a slightly exasperated tone here. S-sob why does the world ALWAYS end-- ]

Hopefully nothing about soldiers raining down from the sky... or space ships...

[ A little more seriously now, Maya considers. She doesn't seem surprised, really. ] Well, you're definitely not a Shadow, haha! Shadows are us, but not a different gender. Besides, a Shadow can't use a regular Persona, anyway... only Reverse versions.

Do you... mind if I ask when you're from, though, Haru-chin?

[ Yes, she'll nickname you too. The Nyx thing. ... She knows it already. She took care of Minato when he came back, after all. Strong armed him into telling her, because she cares. ]

Sorry, my internet completely crapped out for a few minutes. 8|

[flutterbyfool]

No, nothing like that. I think it had to do with rumors, but that's about it.

[She shrugs.]

Did Minato-kun tell you about the Shadows we deal with?

I don't mind. I'm from the same time as Minato-kun. [Nicknames are love! Haruka smiles.] Did he tell you already, Amano-san?

It's fine ♥ |D;;; /needed sleep anyway

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ... A nod. ]

That's because rumors were becoming reality in our city... and yes, he told me. Actually, I had to make him tell me, since when he came back... I found him first. I took him back, took care of him, and made him tell me what he was stupid enough to do to himself.

[ There's a pause. ]

Haruka... I understand your situation more than you might think. Do you think we could meet up and talk there? I doubt either of us is comfortable discussing this kind of thing over the communicator, 'secure' or not.

Sob, I need it, too, but I'm too tired to get to sleep. ;;

[flutterbyfool]

I see....

[She hesitates for a moment before nodding.]

That sounds like a good idea. Where do you wanna meet?

Let's jump to action after this, by the way.

[dualpinkpistols]

[ A pause, before she smiles gently. ]

Haruka... I want you to be able to trust me, okay? Like I've told Minato... you guys don't look after yourselves nearly as much as you do for everyone else. Someone has to take care of you guys! You're still just kids...

[ She considers for a moment where to meet with her. ]

How about we take a walk outside the dorms? We'll meet there, if that's okay with you.
