*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.

Oh, really.

[beknightedheroine]

Kay, so, that's about the trippiest job description I've heard all day.

[...They weren't kidding about him, huh. Yu blinks for a second at the terminal, before even thinking of sending a response.]

...Nice to meet you too, Philemon. I'm Yu Narukami.

[>You suddenly get the feeling that one or two of your Social Links will not be pleased with your being cordial to someone who they do not get along with...]
[> You decide to be polite, anyway.]

I figured as much. Though it's been difficult for us to find the truth of what is happening here.

Can't do flashing text? I'M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY.

[butterflyguardian]

Yes, really. You are...?

[Video]

[evokingfool]

It's nice to meet you, Philemon.

[So this is the guy...]

video

[butterflyguardian]

Hahaha...how so?

[butterflyguardian]

Yu Narukami... Never lose hope. I have the utmost faith in everyone's abilities.

[butterflyguardian]

Hm? Is there a problem, Eikichi...?

Why are you here

[Video Forever]

[dragonspooker]

[There is a rather unconvinced-looking girl looking at you, Philemon.

Well. Maybe not unconvinced. But...skeptical.]

I've heard of extraplanar beings, but ones existing between minds is news to me.

[butterflyguardian]

*...oh. He's not introducing himself. That's quite all right. Philemon could never judge anyone.*

And you as well.

[butterflyguardian]

I wish I knew that myself.

[evokingfool]

[He study the other man for a moment. As much as he can from a video.]

...I'm Minato Arisato. I heard about you before.

[deathboss]

same here

[butterflyguardian]

Ah, you refer to demons, then?

I am a bit different. *since she knows about demons, surely this won't be too difficult to explain...* I am the embodiment of mankind's hopes and dreams, their kindness and desire for positive change.

Minato Arisato.

You have? I knew there were many Persona-users here, some I recognized and others I didn't. Tatsuya Suou, Lisa Silverman, Eikichi Mishina... You heard about me from one of them? Or one of the others?

video

[evokingfool]

I heard about you from Eikichi-san.

[He's kinda ranting and crying about it.]

[butterflyguardian]

I wish I knew the real reason. Not what was written in the note I received.

video

[butterflyguardian]

Ah, I see.

Do you know the other Persona-users? *he can't sense that Minato is one through the video feed, obviously.* It is unusual that I would not know them.

[evokingfool]

I know some Persona-users here. [He pause.] I'm one as well.

You're stuck here with the rest of us? I find that hard to believe.

SURE THING MY GOOD SIR.
