[Do you guys enjoy these things turning on randomly? Well, have another feed.

It turns on but the sight is rather dark, to dark to figure out. There's a small groan for a moment and the screen turns, and it appears that the phone is on its side. Its in an alley somewhere, but that's not the weird part.

Its the guy covered in blood that's bracing himself against the wall. He's in the corner of the screen, struggling it seems, wherever it is. It looks like he's covered in snow too, but the red is sticking out because of it. Holding his abdomen, there's a grimace as he walks past the phone. LUCKY HIM. What's life done to screw him over now? ]

What the hell's... [Ready for this? One step, two steps... Three steps... Floor.

The feed cuts out.]

[Don't worry, no has that as a Persona...yet. Majority of them are rather tame. She comes back with some clean towels and hands one to him.]

Trust me, yours will awaken when it wants to. You're going to need it eventually. At midnight every night, the whole island goes into what we call the Dark Hour. While the normal citizens are unaware of this event, the rest of us are open game to these things called Shadows. Even though you can use regular weapons on them, an attack using a Persona is more effective.

[She also pulls out the phone she pocketed earlier.]

This is your new phone. Everyone who's been brought here is given one and has people listed in their contacts list.

[If someone does, Nathan is going to be scarred for the rest of his stay here. Taking the towel, he gives a nod, then moves to listen to her.

Thanks.. [Alright; Dark Hour? Bad. Persona? Good, he thinks. Shadows? Also bad. Persona attack on shadow? Very good. A nod and he watches her, still trying to make sense of everything when the phone is pulled out.] Works just like a normal phone then, right...?

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[She hands the phone over to him.]

I've told you all the basic stuff you need to know. The Shadows only come out at midnight, so you're free to do whatever you like in the mean time. This hotel is where majority of us live. Don't worry, they don't charge anything for a room.

Also if you ever want something to eat, feel free to give me a call. I don't believe you've told me your name though.

Oh-- I'm Nate. [Another nod as he reaches to take the phone.] I owe you for this, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

I'll probably find an empty room around here. Might as well make the most of it. [A pause.] Is there a way to get back home, or wherever we came from?
