animus_network | [ 01 ] ❁ [ Video ◦ Intro ]

[ It's been kind of a rough day for Yukiko, but she's managed to put on a smile for the camera. Thankfully the terminal was easy enough for her to figure out, so here she is with as proper of a look as she can manage with a strange collar around her neck. The yellow liquid matches well with the colors on her uniform surprisingly enough, standing out against the black of her hair. ]

Um hello? [ Even if she has put on a strong facade, her meek demeanor slips out with a shaky start. ] I was told that looking for people was easier through this network, so I hope this message reaches the right people.

[ Erk! ] Even if not, I'd be happy to talk with anyone! Please. [ Admittedly, it's a lot to take in and by this point in the day, she's starting to feel more overwhelmed than anything. ]

My name is Yukiko Amagi and I'm a student from Yasogami High School. Is there anyone who's familiar with that here? [ Spoken with as much formality as can be expected from a newcomer. ]

If not, maybe you've heard of some of my friends? Chie Satonaka, Yosuke Hanamaru, Kanji Tatsumi--[ Maybe she shouldn't list the ones that are troublemakers first. ]--er, maybe Yu Narukami? I thank you for your time and I hope that this message wasn't too much trouble for you.

[ On the inside, she's internally keysmashing. ]

Um... [ Hold on, recovering from this epic BSOD. ] That's great news, isn't it? About the Persona working here.

[ Yeah he kind of doesn't care. ]

Do us all a favor and don't go asking the newbie questions. Yes, people get pulled from different worlds and times and realities here. Yes, there are two of some people. And yes, other Persona users outside of Inaba exist. I'm from Port Island.

No, I am not in SEES, which you will ask once you find out. I lead Strega.

Finally, I'm pretty sure Narukami's in room 2-02. Dunno about the others, but you can read the name plates to find out easy enough. Now that this is gotten over with, please pelt him with idiotic questions, and stay away from my team.

[ That's a lot of information to take in. Combined with his tone, it'll be some time before she finds herself capable of speaking. ]

Thank you so far. [ Um. ] As for your team though... I can't stay away from them if I don't know who they are.

[ Really, it's the best retort she has for all of this. ]

[ ... Groan. He rolls his eyes, sighing. ]

Jin Shirato, Chidori Yoshino, Ken Amada. ... You'll know. Just ask Narukami. There's a crapload of you natural users here anyway. I'm shocked this place is so fond of you all.

[ Noting those names down, she gives a nod. ] I'll ask him. Thanks.

What do you mean by a natural user? Is that a bad thing?

[ ... THIS question. Bleh. His words become emotionless, as does his expression. It's impossible to tell what he's thinking, now. ]

Probably not for people like you. Enjoy your stay here in Tower Hellhole. The worst guy is in charge this month. If you're particularly unlucky he might go syringe-happy on you.

[ Optimistic? What's that? ]

[ People like her? Yukiko never really thought herself special enough to be categorized like that before, but maybe he meant something else. Like human maybe? It's clear the gears in her mind are moving as she doesn't answer him outright again. ]

The worst guy... So there are other people in charge at different times, yeah? [ Look, there's hope for every situation. Somewhere. ] Any way to avoid running into him?

[ He shrugs. ]

Not really. The good month usually comes before Jason's. Dax is the only decent guy; he was last month, I think. They rotate. Riki's basically the crazy janitor. And we're all praying Ruana won't be in charge anytime soon; last time that happened I was turned into a human slinky and Narukami nearly killed himself by trying to use his Persona.

[ He is serious. ]

If we're lucky Jason might not abduct us for experiments this month since that giant space whale screwed things up last month, but I kind of doubt it.
