*There is a man in a butterfly mask staring into the camera and smiling. It feels like he could stare into your soul, but while it's slightly unnerving, it's also comforting. He seems friendly enough, anyway.*

I can assure any others that are here that the destruction of an entire universe through artificial means before its time is close to impossible. Do not fear. We will find a way to return all of us home.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Philemon, a spirit who dwells between the conscious and subconscious mind. It is a pleasure to meet all of you.

There are options next to the text box you can click to change things. Either that or you can remove the tags.

Ah, I see. But I find it curious...I don't remember ever granting you the potential. *Nyarlathotep...? Nah, couldn't be. This is less of his parasitic possessions and more Philemon's own potential awakenings.*

I like your mask. ｡◕‿◕｡

[butterflyguardian]

Hahaha... Yes, I do have a collar. At any rate, it is good to see that you are all doing well.

[butterflyguardian]

*he does have a collar, Jun.* It seems that that is the case. I am unable to leave or direct my conscious form elsewhere.

OKAY HE GOT IT

[deathboss]

HOW DOES A SPIRIT END UP WITH A COLLAR? WHAT KIND OF POWER CAN DO THAT?!

[imperialsun]

Philemon. That is a new look for you.

[butterflyguardian]

Thank you.

[butterflyguardian]

Ah, Naoya. It has been a while.

*hm. He's quite sure you should be all grown up by now...*

[...'Never lose hope'? Well, he'd certainly been close to it before someone put their metaphysical foot down via awkward hug...what. Tilting his head to the side, he studies the other for a moment before speaking again.]

I guess you would know about them, from what others have mentioned.

[imperialsun]

A while?

[Oh he means...]

I was taken a few months after the events in the school. The flow of time is different here...

video

[butterflyguardian]

I see my reputation precedes me. Nothing bad, I hope?

[theresnosuchthing]

Did you make it yourself? （＾ｖ＾）

video

[pitiedthefool]

Eikichi-san wasn't too thrilled about you, but nothing too bad...

video

[butterflyguardian]

Ah, I see. It has been three years since we have last seen each other. It also explains why there are persona-users here I have not met before.

I hope you don't mind the alterations. I could sense in some of you and your companions' interactions with me that some part of my appearance was a bit...unsettling. Hence the change in my mask. I thought it would be better for some part of a human face visible might make it easier.

[butterflyguardian]

...Oh. I have to wonder why...

[butterflyguardian]

I willed it into being, yes.

[theresnosuchthing]

Willed it into being? ( ・◇・)？

[butterflyguardian]

Yes. The mind is a powerful thing. I exist in a place where one's will can bring changes to reality.

[pitiedthefool]

He didn't go into detail, other than when in time he was brought here.

[Yu shrugs slightly. It isn't his place to say another person's story. Though, it looks like he's wanting to ask something...]

[theresnosuchthing]

Really?! What place is that? w(°ｏ°)w

[butterflyguardian]

It is called the collective unconscious. The source of all mankind's innermost thoughts and emotions.

[butterflyguardian]

I am not sure, about either question. I am curious as to the answers myself.

[theresnosuchthing]

Eeeh?! A place like that exists? Really? ∑(O_O；)

[butterflyguardian]

*when...in time? Oh. That would explain a lot. He wants to confirm it, however. He'll keep it in mind for now. In the meantime...*

Is there something you wish to ask of me?
