[Good afternoon, Tower. Eikichi is standing in front of the terminal's camera, grinning from ear to ear and looking quite proud of himself. In fact you might say he looks unusually energized.]

HOOOOOOOOOOO!

Is this thing on...okay it is.

Inhabitants of this stone tower! I, the beautiful, amazing, great, quick-thinking Michel have a proposition for next week. As it so happens that it was the birthday of someone special two days ago, I realized she needs a proper celebration! And considering there hasn't been a good party around here lately, the solution is simple; a proper birthday bash, not just for our bella dama who will be our guest of honor, but also for anyone who hasn't had a proper birthday for the past months.

And as exceptional as he is, Michel can't do this alone! I can help with the decorations and the music, but I know the tower is filled with considerable talent! Chefs! Decorators! Even a few musicians who might have slipped from Michel's grasp when he didn't notice you...reveal yourselves to me so that we may make this the best bash ever!

And...turn that frown upside down! Michel isn't going to stand for it any longer!

Times have been hard and difficult, that's true, but if we don't get a little joy in our lives, we'll just like this place drag us down with it. I'll have none of that and neither should you! As a certain someone I admire would say, 'Let's Positive Thinking!'

So go on, find a mirror, look at yourself and say "I look great today!".

Don't worry I'll be waiting.

[He crosses his arms with a smirk plastered on his face and waits for a full eight seconds before continuing.]

Now that you're all energized and ready to do this...there's more!

It's not just a birthday party and way to cheer everyone up, if you can, bring that lovely lady or the handsome guy! Come as a couple as there will be a competition to crown the lord and lady of the evening! And don't worry, Michel's a very fair man. As much as he knows he's the only true king around, he'll let someone else enjoy it for that night.

So put on your best!

Oh, no date you say? That's not a problem! Do the words Blind Date have any meaning to you? Send me your name -- don't worry Michel won't share -- and he'll set you up with all the others who don't have one. Considering our beautiful chica population lower, you may end up with another guy! But don't worry, a date doesn't mean you need to kiss at all...who knows, you might end up with a new friend! Michel's certain everyone will have a good time regardless! And who knows...you might find true love and you'll have me to be thankful for!

....I know, I know, how can someone like me exist? Sometimes I wonder that too.

So, who's with me?!

[Look at that grin. Look at that face. Look at all this wild energy. Surely it must stir something within you for that...right to fight for your party...]

[As private as Eikichi can make it to the rest of the team members minus Maya]

Jun, you're in charge of making her a proper birthday bouquet. Miyabi, you want to make her a cake? Tatsuya, Lisa...help me find her some presents? If we have to make 'em I don't care.

And everyone's coming to the music room with me! I've been inspired to write her a birthday song and I'll need everyone's help!

[OH GODS WHYYYY NO EIKICHI NOOOO...]

A Beauty Pageant sounds like a wonderful idea!

[gasp!]

We could do a full-blown fashion show, too!

[imperialsun]

...when we return home.

[DO NOT WANT.]

[lilies_jail]

[Eriko pauses for a minute. Home? Wasn't home destroyed? Rather than bringing it up, she dismisses it]

Goodness, why put it off until later when we can see all of our friends here enjoy it as well?

[imperialsun]

[It's Naoya he always is an optimist at everything. THEY WILL RETURN HOME ONE DAY that's how he rolls.]

This place is dangerous. It could be a bad idea to do one when others might try to attack us.

[And Eikichi is doing a party...wait.]

[lilies_jail]

Nonsense, it's all the more reason for us to do things to keep our spirits up!

As it stands, we are in no position to even wager how to get out of this tower to the outside. It's not like at home, where we had a clear goal of stopping Kandori or the Snow Queen - then, we wouldn't have been justified in taking breaks.

In this case, it's very much in our best interests to think up activities to improve our collective morale together while making certain we're safe. Living in fear is no way to go about this situation!

[imperialsun]

I'm not worried about us living in fear, just the others. But you are right, a boost in moral is always a good thing.

...as long as I don't have to dress up myself.

[lilies_jail]

Ooh, how about you be one of the commentators, Neo?

[pitiedthefool]

[L-L-L-L-L-LOGIC FAAAAAAIL...]

We'd still have our Personas.

[imperialsun]

True. I just don't want others to take it as an opportunity.

[pitiedthefool]

There's also the option of asking others to act as security. And with someone having recently arrived...

[DID YOU FORGET TO TELL HIM SOMETHING, BRO?]

[imperialsun]

...as long as I don't have to dress for the pageant myself. I'll help out with that.

[FINE OKAY GEEZE.]

[pitiedthefool]

I promise not to sign you up for it.

[IT'S OKAY A CURBSTOMP BATTLE HAPPENED INSTEAD. GEEZ.]

[pitiedthefool]

...If enough people are interested.

[imperialsun]

[NO DON'T PLAY INTO HER GAME DAMMIT!!]

[pitiedthefool]

[B-but it might stand a chance if Yosuke doesn't sign Chie up again.... ;;]

[lilies_jail]

I suppose we must wait until the Blind Dates are done, but after that let's certainly see if everyone would join!

[pitiedthefool]

Yeah.... [He's going to... stop replying now... Before Chie murders him in his sleep...]

[imperialsun]

I just realized I should be doing introductions....Yu, this is Eriko Kirishima. She is one of my teammates who helped me take down SEBEC and fight the Night Queen. Elly, this is Yu Narukami. He is a leader of a team of Persona users in 2012.

[pitiedthefool]

Ah. [He smiles a bit, bowing his head slightly over the feed.] Nice to meet you, Kirishima-san.

[lilies_jail]

Thank you very much, Naoya!

You may call me Elly, Mr. Narukami.

[internal squeeing about the implications of the name Narukami GO GO GO]

[pitiedthefool]

[Heh.] Alright, Elly.

[Hm? Well, he does know his family shares the name of a thunder god, but... wait. :I]

[not here]

[sukeban]

[You sense a terrifying presence emanating from the chest room 215...]

[not here]

[pitiedthefool]

[Ane-chan, he is not signing you up okay. Don't even...]

[not here]

[sukeban]

[It's the principal of the thing, okay?]

[not here]

[pitiedthefool]

[He'll ask to make sure people can back out, alright? HE LEARNED YOSUKE'S LESSON FOR HIM.

Even though he... didn't really mind crossdressing that one time...]
