Support 1: This is still Mahora, right? [Action] [Voice]

[kugimin]

[Madoka awoke this morning, ready to face the day when she realized something was off. Specifically this wasn't her dorm room at Mahora Academy. It sure seemed to be a dorm room. Just not hers. Which begs the question, how did she get here?

Glancing around, she notices a pretty fancy phone nearby and, after checking to make sure there wasn't someone around to ask, figured the owner won't mind if she called a friend to get herself situated. She quickly types in the number and hits send. She starts talking the minute it picks up, not noticing that the phone didn't accept the number and instead just dialed everyone in its directory...]

Hey, Sakurako! Did you or Misa play a prank on me? I'm in someone else's dorm room here and I don't even remember how it happened! Last thing I remember was you, Misa, and me going out to karaoke like usual, but I was pretty sure I went to sleep in my bed afterwards. I don't even recognize which dorm I'm in...

Wait? What?! How'd that happen?!! That's taking a prank too far!

...Did Class Rep pull this off on us or something?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

No, I think it was magic. Or maybe science. I'm not really sure.

[kugimin]

Okay, you know what, the how isn't really that important right now. What's important is that we should see about getting home.

How much is a ticket back to Japan?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

I don't think that'll work. I heard this one guy talking one time about how he left here and went back to Japan, but it wasn't the same Japan. Or something like that. Mahora might not even be there if we tried!

[kugimin]

...But how are we suppose to go home then? What about the magic or science stuff that got us here, can we throw it in reverse?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Maybe! I think we have to use our Personas to do it.

[kugimin]

Our what now?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Oh, you probably don't have yours yet, huh? Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it soon.

[kugimin]

Oh, I will, will I? So what it it? What does it do? What does it even look like?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Well, mine's a lucky cat, and it casts wind spells. But yours will probably be something different.

[kugimin]

....So you got a statue with a fan in it? I'm not sure I see how novelty items are going to help us get home.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

At first I thought it was just a cat that followed me home, but it turns out it's magic!

[kugimin]

Wait, what?

[Hold on, magical animal sidekick? This almost sounds like...]

...Does it talk? Does this mean you're a magical girl now?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Yeah! Exactly like that!

[kugimin]

Okay, I can work with this, but I swear I am not going to shout 'Moon Prism Power Make Up' anytime soon, alright?

And I do not want to hear you say something like you'd think I'd be saying 'Jupiter' instead of 'Moon Prism,' either.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Maybe 'Mercury' instead since your hair is short!

[kugimin]

...How about I just avoid any transformation sequence? Can I do that?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Yeah, since there really isn't one anyway.

[kugimin]

Okay, good, I don't think I'd be able deal if that was on top of everything else...

So how do we get these things?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Usually you have to get attacked by Shadows.

[kugimin]

Why would my shadow attack me?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Not your Shadow!

[kugimin]

Oh, I think I get it... Is that what the enemies are called here then? Like Slimes and such? They're Shadows?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Right!

[kugimin]

And what, we just run around town and they'll spring a random encounter on us?

Isn't that kinda dangerous for the folks not involved in this game thing? Or do they not attack NPCs like most games?
