I could be wrong, but I haven't met a Dave, Rose, or Jade in this city.

That's.... weird. We all went through the wall together.

[Shouldn't they all be here? And not just them, but the trolls too?]

Umm, boy this is gonna sound weird but.... are there any trolls here?

-yes, there is one girl who said she was a troll who showed up recently. Do you know her? Vriska Serket.

Vriska's here?

[That's.... unexpected. Really unexpected. But good.]

Do you know where I can find her?

I'm not sure.

[Because that thread's not over.]

But I can find her number for you.

Seriously? Thanks, man!

Hey, what's your name?

Issei Ryudo. And you're John?

John Egbert! Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, as well. I'm sorry the meeting place isn't better.

Huh?

Oh yeah! Hey, what's up with this place anyway? What's with all the coffins?

Ah. How well are you going to believe me if I start saying 'monsters, supernatural things, et cetera'?

Hehe, ten minutes ago my friends and I were crashing through a giant reality wall to try to win this really complicated game and maybe create a new universe.

So.... pretty well.

All right then.

You're in Prospero, a city in America. Every night for one hour after midnight, the surroundings turn like this and monsters we call Shadows appear. All of us who had powers before have lost them, so all we have to rely on are our martial abilities and the new power we gain, the ability to summon beings to fight for us. Personas.

[He'll demonstrate by calling up the guardian Jikokuten behind him.]

Monsters, huh? Kinda sucks that my strife specibus is gone....

[But he trails off at the awesome demonstration.]

That is sooo cool! How did you do that?

It's hard to explain. It's a power everyone gets here, usually awakened after they've gotten themselves in danger. So, I don't really recommend getting it on purpose.

Oh, so it's like this badass guardian thing that comes out when you're in trouble? That's still pretty cool.

So what's with the coffins?

[Knocking on the front of one of them with his free hand. Like it's a door or something.]

They're... There are native people to this island that haven't been brought here. They turn into those coffins during the night.

[He doesn't like explaining this to a thirteen-year-old, though.]

Oh.....

[Stops knocking.]

Sorry.

Umm.... that.... kind of sucks. Why does that happen to them?

We're not sure. We're still trying to find out more about this place and survive.

Speaking of. Can you tell me more about where you are? You shouldn't be alone out in this hour.

So we've still got to explore this place. Sounds fun.

[He glances around, trying to get some kind of bearings.]

Oh, yeah, hang on.

[He runs to the nearest intersection and angles the camera toward the street signs.]

Does that help?

Very much so, thank you. I'll be a few minutes.

[And a few minutes later, one teenager locates the intersection and the boy in blue and heads straight for him.]

[He'll occupy himself by talking to other people in the meantime. Because it's not as if he should be watching out for dangerous wandering monsters or anything. When he sees Issei, he waves enthusiastically.]

Hi! Wow, that was quick! Do you live near here?

I stay at the hotel, like most of us do. For some reason the lodging is free to newcomers to the city.

[John may notice the sword and scabbard at his side, which looks kind of out of place on a school uniform.]

They give you a free hotel room? Just for showing up? Cool!

Hey, neat sword! Where'd you get it?

Considering I doubt you have any money on you, you'll need it.

Ah, this? [Blink.] My teacher gave it to me. I'm still learning, I'm better at hand-to-hand.
