First Goal \\ Video

[fullmoonarmani]

[The video feed clicks on and at first seems focused on a wall before the camera is turned to face a new face in Prospero!]

Alright I'm going to guess that this gets broadcasted out to other people. Anyone mind telling me what the heck is going on? One minute I'm going to bed freaked out because my best friend is very likely dead...and the next thing I know I'm waking up in some back alley somewhere.

[the guy seems sort of agitated though who wouldn't be right?]

What did someone kidnap me and abandon me somewhere? If their watching this I hope you know I may be a highschooler but I am also the goalie of my high schools lacrosse team and can take you on.

...

[There's a long pause before Danny finally sighs.]

Will someone please respond to this I am kind of freaking out here.

Don't worry, everyone on this network is just like you. We've all been brought here by some powers unknown. This is Prospero, an island off the east coast of America.

I'm Saori. Do you mind telling me what else can you see? I might be able to find you.

[Give him a moment to realize just what you said.]

Wait so I'm on the east coast? Great, so in other words I'm across the country from home.

As for what I see...a lot of stores...looks sort of like a shopping center.

[needsteaplz]

Not exactly. While this is America, you could say this is some kind of alternate one.

Okay that's not far off my shop. Sit tight and I'll be over.

[fullmoonarmani]

Alright, thanks.

[Well at least people seem friendly enough. Danny'd hate to be stranded somewhere with no one helping him.]

[Saori closes off the feed and lets her workers know she's stepping out for a bit. She starts looking around and eventually she finds him.]

Sorry for the wait. Also I realized I never introduced myself. I'm Saori.

[Yay an actual person to talk to who won't look at him like he's crazy! Danny tried talking to the people in town...that didn't go well.]

Hi, and the wait wasn't a problem really. My name's Danny.

[puppet_show]

This place has a habit of bringing people at the worst times...

Welcome to the island of Prospero. It's still daytime, so you should be fine for now, but you might want to find a more comfortable place to hang out. A bookstore or café would be a good idea if you can find one nearby.

In the meantime, I can answer any questions you've got.

[fullmoonarmani]

Wait...why is it good if it's daytime still?

What do boogeymen come out of the shadows to grab people or something?

[Yeah he doesn't think he's anywhere near right...oh Danny.]

[puppet_show]

Yup! So stick close to buildings at midnight, or you're really gonna regret it.

[fullmoonarmani]

Wait what? I was totally kidding, boogeymen aren't real.

[Says the guy who comes from a world with werewolves and kanimas....not that he knows that.]

[puppet_show]

They aren't boogeymen, specifically. But there are definitely monsters, so you should watch out for them.

I know it sounds unbelievable, but just wait until midnight and you'll see undeniable proof.

[It's okay, she probably would have been skeptical too if she weren't dropped directly into the Dark Hour.]

[fullmoonarmani]

Great...so I went from a nice quiet town...to a place where I could get killed if I stay out after a certain time?

[If only he knew just how not quiet his town had actually been.]

Wait...so what's a Persona? I heard that right as I woke up...

[puppet_show]

I'm glad you asked! A Persona is a power granted to everyone who winds up here like you and I. It's what many of us use to combat those monsters, though some are more effective than others against certain enemies.

Hmm, how to put it... [She assumes a typical thinking pose.] It's like an extension of your inner self, usually in the form of some kind of mythic hero or creature. If you're in trouble, it should reveal itself to you, and give you powers and abilities to protect yourself with.

Well, hopefully. Mine didn't start out with any offensive abilities, so even after I found out about her I couldn't do much to protect myself. You can never be sure how it'll go.

[fullmoonarmani]

Uh...okay...Well thanks for the info, so...is there anyway to get back home or am I stuck here? Cause I have a lacrosse game next week I really don't want to miss.

[Hello sarcasm, what can he say he may be able to defend himself but after what hes heard...sarcasm is about his best defense at the moment.]

[puppet_show]

Well, you might be able to get back to your home if it exists in this version of earth, buuuut... It won't be the same one you're used to. It might not even have a lacrosse team.

[She gives a small shrug, indicating her own mild annoyance at all of this.]
