[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

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....

"Maybe... If he can give people Personas, who knows what else he can do."

[risetocaesar]

"Good point. His power can't just he limited to handing them out."

He winced, shaking his head.

"Well. It could be worse. At least with Polydeuces, it's like seeing an old friend."

"Mm. That's good, at least. Mine, too, is one I know... but I guess we will have to wait and see - both what happens and if we can find out more about him."

[risetocaesar]

"I definitely plan to find out more. The waiting part isn't exactly easy, though," Akihiko remarked, offering a wry smile. "But I'd like to think we can't be left in the dark for too much longer."

Minato nodded, smiling just a little back. "Think of it as endurance training."
