[ here, have your resident loud J-rocker, looking cool as usual, spouting out Engrish in italics. ]

Hey, everybody~! Seems there's a lot of new people here now, so it's time to grace all of you with my beautiful self! The name's Mishina Eikichi, otherwise known as the Great Michel!

Okay~ So is any of you newcomers know about Sumaru City or know what a Persona is, I'd like to talk to you~! I'm sure there's more than two of us. Philemon's a busy little bastard. Might be useful to group together with all this weird shit that goes on here.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I do. Never heard of Philemon, though, I don't think...

[Hm.]

It wasn't Nyarthotep [ or whatever his name is (like Eikichi really cares about that bastard)... ], was it?

...

[thinks for a moment and then shakes her head]

Uh, nope. Our Personas just kind of awoke within us one day, during the Dark Hour. That's the only time we can summon them, pretty much.

[Well, they can summon them outside the Dark Hour, but...it just take a lot of effort. Plus they're a lot weaker, in Vatheon.]

...You've really had yours for years?

[ he shrugs. He was one of the odd ones just born with it. Most had it given to them. ]

So you're like. Just kinda born with it.

[ okay, wat ] Dark hour?

[...YEAH...something like that, so she nods. She doesn't really understand it either; and mostly why she was chosen as one with potential, over others. But it's been a long time; so she doesn't wanna worry about it.

Then comes the question. Oh boy. She should've seen that coming.]

It's kind of a long story.

Born with it like me. [ which is what that previous comment should've said. oh well ]

Sounds like it falls in the weirdness category like rumors coming true.

[Him too, then. They didn't have to face their Shadows, like Yosuke once mentioned...did they? People like Yukari simply had the potential...]

Rumors coming true?

[She repeats the phrase, as if to prod him for more information.]

[ he did face his shadow, but not to get his persona. ]

Yeah, rumors started coming true in Sumaru. Kinda turned the city upside down. Literally. All because of those two dumbasses playing games with human kind.

[ have you played 2 or mind being spoiled? if not, i'll keep it vague ]

(( I have not, sob. It's sitting on my shelf waiting to be played...I would appreciate vagueness, but if you feel the detail is necessary, don't worry about it. <3 ))

...Oh, yeah. Maya mentioned something like that. [She never really thought to ask for more details, though. She scratches her head a bit, in wonder.] Uh, but what kind of games d'you mean?

[...And who? She's assuming this has something to do with their Personas...]

[ play it! It's so gooood (and takes so much less time to finish than 3. three months later and I'm still not done with p3). and the new interface on the psp version makes the gameplay soooooo much easier. some of the best faqs for the game are here ]

Wait, Maya really is here then! I haven't been able to find her. [ oh wait, not the subject. ] Making rumors come true, seeing if humanity is really worthy of sticking around, bringing back freaking Hitler to attack Japan! [ no, it doesn't really make sense, but that's P2 for ya. rumors, Nazis, and aliens. oh and explosions. Lots of explosions. ] We're not some game characters to screw around with!

(( djkhaskjh tell me about it, p3 and p4 are such time sinks. but i will definitely play it; thanks for the link! did you hear about EP getting a PSP port, too?! ))

...

[what.]

Hitler? You've gotta be kidding me. [a pause, as she tries to remember her history.] She never mentioned that, but yeah, she's around somewhere.

Always seems busy, though...

[That's a protag for ya.]

[ I heard! I'm excited! I've never gotten to play EP before, only IS. ]

I wish I were kidding on that one.

[ she was always busy in IS too. ] Yeah, that's Maya for ya.

[She nods. No wonder she and Minato got along so well; though she is a bit surprised this never came up in all the times they spoke.

Psh.]

If I brought it up and asked her about it, she'd probably just say I never asked.

[Yukari shrugs. She has no idea whether she wants to know more or not, honestly.

Because Hitler. What even.]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Things got really weird. I still don't get all of it.

...S'okay. I don't even know if I'd believe in Persona, if I didn't have one myself...

Ya know, I don't think I would either.

Have you had to use yours yet?

...I mean. Here in Vatheon...

Only to chase some damn butterfly. Long story.

But I haven't really come across any demons to fight either.

...Don't think I've met any butterflies.

But yeah. It's peaceful most of the time. There was this one time though when a huge kraken attacked, and we had to use our Persona for that...

[yeah that kind of sucked.]

U-Uh, but everyone helped, so I guess it wasn't as bad as it could've been.

[Not just Persona users, but other magic users and fighters, too. Team work at its greatest. Yay?]

A kraken? This place is starting to sound more and more like Sumaru. At least there are people to help defend the place.

Oh, yeah, definitely. For a place that's so... [what's the word.] varied, we actually know how to stick together pretty well.

That's definitely good. I'd expect most people to run away.

[Heh.

She's shaking her head.]

Nah. [And there is a pause here, as she scratches her head. Then finally—]

Say, I...I do have a question, though...

Sure. Ask away.

...Your Personas. How are they summoned?
