I didn't expect this, but I should introduce myself.

Hello Desai—I'm Seta Souji from Inaba, Japan. Since I'm knew, I'd appreciate it if everyone would help me in getting to know this place better. I'm used to finding and exploring strange places, but this isn't like anywhere I've been before. It's almost normal.

I know that Naoto already posted something about finding information, and it looks like she's gotten a lot of responses, but if there's anything else that we should know, I'd appreciate it if someone would tell us.

Heh, also, does anyone know if I can catch Phoenix Ranger Featherman R anywhere?

Thanks.

Yes, this place doesn't resemble anywhere on the Midnight Channel at all.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

There are no Shadows, either.

At least, those things we fought didn't seem like the same thing.

[expositional]

Yes, those creatures.. I'm in the process of determining their origin, but it's certainly not born of a human manifestation.

What did you think about what Minato-kun discussed with us last night? About the Dark Hour and other Persona users?

[twinknife]

Didn't that Sparda dude say something about a "gate" being open in the travel bureau? A gate like, an opening. But-- nah. Those crazy MDEA guys sitting on the gates of hell is just TOO crazy, even for this place.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Even "Gates of Hell" sounds a little weird.

[twinknife]

Like something out of a video game, right? But people called them "demons", and let's be honest... the name kinda fits...

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does. Knowing there are things other than shadows out there doesn't make this easier, though.

[twinknife]

Yeah, well....... 's a big world

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

That's why we're here.

[twinknife]

And here I'd thought we'd buried that shadow business with Izanami.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Things change, I guess, depending on who needs us. I didn't think we'd get involved in something like this again.

[twinknife]

Well.... I can't say it's all bad. Our team of intrepid, misfit heroes (and Yosuke), back in the saddle again, solving mysteries to save the world? Same old, same old.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Heh, I always thought of us as pursuers of the truth.

[expositional]

We were already aware they came from the travel agency, however I think it would be presumptuous to suspect this was the work of a fictional netherworld.

[twinknife]

Oh come-- I didn't mean the actual hell! Though let's face it, we did face off against the so-called queen of the underworld not too long ago.

[expositional]

I doubt these incidents are connected to her.

[twinknife]

I'm not saying they're connected... I'm just saying, maybe hard logic doesn't apply here?

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

It's strange, I didn't think I'd see any enemies other than them.

Yeah, I remember. The Dark Hour and the Midnight Channel could be linked somehow.

[expositional]

Yes, though the reactions from several people here suggests this type of "monster" is not far from the ordinary.

Then the mystery still isn't solved.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

There are other monsters in this place?

[evocations]

Featherman R! I almost forgot about that show....

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

A fan, Arisato-san?

[evocations]

I don't know if I'd go that far, but I used to catch it on TV, from time to time. A dorm-mate was a fan.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

It doesn't look like there's anything around here like that, anyway.

[evocations]

I'll keep my eye out for a good substitute. I hope I was of some help?

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

You were.

Thank you, Arisato-san, I'm sure with your help we'll be able to get closer to the truth.

[evocations]

Ah, I'm glad.

You've also given me some things to think about, Seta-san.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

We should get together again.

[evocations]

Yeah, I'd like that. It would be.... almost like old times.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Let's look forward, Arisato-san, to the truth.

[evocations]

Yes, let's.

[clumsygentleman.livejournal.com]

Won't stay normal for long. Trust me on that.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[clumsygentleman.livejournal.com]

Well... There are the regular demon-invasion... and other monsters coming here and there. Just saying.
