[Sanaki knows no forms of physical combat. She also was not warned about the Dark Hour. This is a bad combination.

Thus, when her phone drops from her hand (her ridiculous poofy outfit has no pockets) it shows her being backed into a corner by a Shadow. She's obviously terrified by the expression on her face.

Suddenly, the space in between her and the Shadow is filled - by a kid in a ridiculous scarf. Who is still taller than her, natch. He dispatches the Shadow with his spear, then turns to the startled Sanaki.]

I am thou, and thou art I...
I am Setanta. As your knight, I will help you in your duties.

Se...tanta...?

[The Persona disappears. After staring for a moment, she looks at her phone again and turns it off.]

[Feel free to meet her in person as she heads back to the hotel.]

[His face when.]

...Yes?

S...Setanta?

That is the name that he spoke to me.

But...that's not--no, I shouldn't say 'not possible', but...

I would also say the sudden appearance and disappearance was impossible, yet clearly happened.

No, that's...a power many of us have. It's called a Persona.

If you would explain further, I would be grateful to you.

[This shouldn't have been surprising. It really shouldn't have.]

[Really, Prospero messed around with the fabric of time enough as it was, right? And Personae clearly didn't follow along and maintain the proper appearance of who it was they were supposed to represent -- or perhaps they just borrowed a name and represented what their user believed, or some other thing that Lancer could not be assed to spend time thinking about. Not right now, anyway.]

[It was because he'd already run into himself as a Persona, you see. Because of that, he never thought he'd run into himself-as-a-child as a Persona. Not that he was admitting that kid was in fact him, but...]

[Speaking of kids, Sanaki (the kid in question) has an almost beleaguered looking man responding to her on the comm now.]

...You're joking, right?

I can hardly see what I've said that could have been in jest.

There is unfortunately little of it I actually understand. These manifestations are called Personas. They answer our call and assist in fighting the Shadows--one of which you seem to have already met.

Why was I not warned of any of this?

Either you just arrived or you haven't spoken to many people yet.

It would seem to be the first issue to come up with any new arrival, instead of squabbling over power and authority.

Not you, the other kid -- the persona.

I can't speak for him.

I apologize. If I had encountered you before now, I would have tried to make sure you were up to date on the situation.

You can tell me that I wasn't hearing things. What did he say his name was?

[Seems like Lancer's on the move, judging from the background...]

I appreciate the thought. Do not hold yourself accountable.

Setanta. I remember that well.

What do you know about this situation? I'll try to help however I can.

I have heard that someone has never heard of the empress of Begnion and the apostle of the goddess. That is all I have been told.

My apologies, but I'm not familiar with such things either. The city you're in is called Prospero, an island somewhere in America. Whatever worlds we've all arrived from, there appears to be no way to return yet.

We've crossed entire worlds?

[He manages to keep from scowling. It was unusual enough to see not!himself around. This? His brain's having a hard time wrapping around it.]

Right... Where are you? For that matter, who are you?
