[There's a brief pause, and then the man on the screen - white hair, red eyes, total smirk and ease at his surroundings - starts talking. His tone is calm, as if this happens every day.]

Well. This isn't where I just was. For one, the sky is… normal, again.

[Ah, but that's no matter. What is important, however…]

Based on the limited information I've found this place is called… Prospero, correct? Not the name I would choose for an island, but I suppose it's not mine to name.

… And if anyone has any information on exactly where Prospero is, it would be appreciated.

1/3 i think

[By now, Atsuro generally have his phone on and connected to the network next to him every time he's working on the laptop.

He'd get news and reports from the other people, along with the odd new arrival asking questions.

Only...]

[babel_hacker]

[He stop typing and stare at his phone. He knows that voice. Atsuro's been here for half a year (so long...), but he'd never forget this man's voice.

Is this real? Or another trick?

The island's cruel enough to bring him here, and then sent him away when his Shadow's out and emotionally vulnerable.

[Hiding away his current, mixed feelings, Atsuro let his cheery, happy ones show instead as he turn on the video feed on his end.]

Hey, Naoya! Prospero's an island city off the eastern coast of the United States.

[Oh? Well, he can't say that he's too surprised.]

I see. And is there a reason why I don't remember how I got here?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

No one here really knows how we got here. Who or what's responsible is pretty powerful to bring people from different time and places. They also ignore whether you're dead or alive, so people that might be dead back home are now alive here.

[crouching_sin]

Different times...

[... That could be trouble.]

When is it for you?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

It's almost the end of summer holidays for me.

[He was at home, playing around on the Internet. Blissfully ignorant on what's going to happen in his 'near future' back home.]

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[If he answered in that way...]

I see.

[Ugh. This is going to be a giant headache.]

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

And what about you? When is it for you?

[Oh, c'mon, you should expect that question.]

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

About... two or so weeks later, I think.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Just that much? Did anything happened in the future?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

Ah ah ah. That would be cheating.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Aw, geez. Not even a little hint?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

No. I know you've seen enough science fiction to know what happens when people start messing with those sorts of things.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[Aww...] I know, Naoya.

...Did anyone told you about what happened at midnight here, yet?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

No. Not what. What does happen?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

At midnight for an hour, the night changed. It's easy to tell when the moon's green, water looks like blood, normal people changing into coffins and monsters wandering on the streets.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[... To his credit, his expression doesn't change, at least.]

I see. And what defense is there against them, if any?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Weapons can work on most of them. But our best defence are our Personas.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[The term is familiar, but the usage...]

And what are those?

Re: [Video]

[babel_hacker]

Powers to summon a part of our mind as warriors, gods, spirits or demons from mythology to fight for us.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[... Oh, how hilarious.]

Humor me, then. How does one acquire this power?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

By awakening to it. Most of the time, it's because you're in danger or someone else was. But you can summon your Persona out without that.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[... Well. Guess what he's doing as soon as he gets settled?]

Interesting.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

...Are you going to try awakening them?
