[Game Opening, Part 1 - What Souls Here May Bring]

[stringmods]

The drawstrings cut,
my hollow ebony stained wood plomps to the floor—
THUD

Eyes open, souls recollect.
The new me, erect.

I make my own decisions, have my own priorities,
have my own thoughts.

No external force taps into me—
Freedom.
- Jana Bielecki

Warnings: (Intro logs are pretty warnable.)
Style: (The text is in prose, but feel free to write back in action tags if you feel more comfortable.)

They always say the first day on a new job is always the hardest.

But tell me...did those tasks include being taken from your own homeworld, dumped into a city you didn't recognize, meeting a man dressed in the purest of whites with a butterfly mask, to be bestowed the power of Persona, and then having some Men in Black lead you to the city hall saying you were expected?

...

...at least your things are apparently safe in your new apartments?

...

...looks like you might be here for a while.


What a way to start the first of September...

As they usher the last of you in, you realize that they've been preparing this for quite a while. There is a small table with food on the right, mixed cuisine (although the main theme seems to be Japanese dishes). Some strange computer program appears next to you and seems to be translating what you are saying so those before you understand. Language barriers? Don't be silly!

Most of the men ignore you after that. You are expected to mingle amongst yourselves a bit before the main 'show' starts, it seems....

[It's a little hard to imagine that. A part of him that protects him... To Yuusei, the only thing that would fit this description would be his deck. However, seeing as no one has mentioned a word about dueling since he arrived, he can only assume "Persona" is something entirely different.]

... I've never had that sort of power.

It sounds like you do now. [She smiles.] If you need advice for training with yours, I'd be happy to help. After we find out why so many people here need them, anyway...

[To be quite honest, Yuusei would much rather not be forced to do so at all -- he wants to go back to his world and save his hometown, along with all its residents. But he might not have any choice, so should that become necessary, he will need to adjust...]

I'd like that, yes.

[He makes a brief pause.]

... Thank you.

[On her end... she has things of her own she should be doing, but she's not in quite as much hurry to get back home immediately.]

You're welcome, Yuusei-kun. And, it's nice to meet you.
