1st Year :: Video;

[The phone feed's clicked on after some presumable fiddling from this kid's part. He looks no older then maybe 15, and doesn't seem to be unused to the phone's technology. The benefits of being from scifi! Besides, he's used to figuring out how things work.]

This is a broadcast to everyone, right?

[He sounds like a teenager, too. ~~puberty is deceptive~~.]

Hi! Does, perhaps, anyone happen to know where I am?

I distinctly remember going to sleep in my own bed, and somehow I've ended up with a strange phone and unfamiliar surroundings.

[camera pan for emphasis... he's on the beach right now, apparently. Gravitated towards the one thing he found familiar.]

Thanks for any help you can provide.

[click! One push and phone goes off.]

You've been grabbed and brought to the city of Prospero by stuff we don't know about for reasons we don't know about.

Wow, I'm really helpful.

[He gives a smile. He actually got something out of that, Ryuu.]

I'd have to agree. I at least know where I am, now.

I assume you're in a similar situation?

Yep. Pretty much anybody you'll run into on this network is.

Ah. Good to know.

[He's seen the contact list, but he's not sure who you are on it, Ryuu.]

What's your name, my gracious informational benefactor?

Ryuunosuke Uryuu! What's yours?

I'm Hippocrates. It's nice to meet you, Ryuunosuke.

[He's smiling. ~~he has no idea, Ryuu...~~]

Nice to meet you too! Since we're all in the dark here, we've gotta work together, yeah?

Yeah, I agree. I look forward to working together with you, Ryuunosuke.

[That's a mouthful of a name, Ryuu. ;n;]

[Like Hippocrates is easier.]

Same here!

Oh, so, have you got a dorm room yet? You're probably automatically enrolled in school here.

[...school? aw hell naw]

I don't think so, and I'm not interested in testing that theory.

Is there another place I could stay?

[What hotel? 8Dc;;]

There's the hotel. Hotel rooms are free to the newbies.

Ah, that sounds like a place that would work well for me.

Do you perhaps know how to get there from here?

[He pans the camera over the beach again. Fuckin' beaches and shores, man.]

It's in the middle of the city, so just keep going inland.

Alright. Thanks again for your assistance.

[Aaaand the background starts moving as he starts on heading inland.]

No problem! So what kind of place did you come from?

[Ooooh, no. He's gonna avoid that question for now, Ryuu.]

I don't really think it's that important. I am here now, at least, and that should be what matters.

Aww, I was just making conversation.

Pardon my reluctance to talk about that, specifically, then. I'd just prefer not to.

Perhaps a better conversation might be started about yourself, or any known things about this world beyond its name?

It's magic! Or at least there's one magic that works that everybody gets. You'll have it too. It's a 'Persona'.

Mmm?

[Sounds interesting, at least. Although he isn't sure how to respond to the word 'magic'.]

Really? Can you tell me more, then?

There are monsters that come out at midnight, so to fight them, you get to summon a Persona. It's like your own personal spirit that comes from your head and does what you tell it to.

Sounds interesting, at least.

[He's 12. He's totally willing to entertain this idea.]

Maybe I'll have to test it out, at some point. Though, you said I had one? How would I go about summoning it?

Most people awaken them by getting in a really dangerous situation where they need one. I don't know if there's a safer way.

...Ah.

Perhaps I should test this with someone else's assistance, then...

[...What, not trying to confirm it's a thing? HIPPOCRATES HAS NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT...]

Smart idea.

[Ryuunosuke's not going to discourage him.]
