We're happy that the game caught your interest! Welcome to the test post! You don't have worry about Persona stats here, just come out and make up a scenario about what your are doing, or use one of the four we've provided.

▶ Pick a prompt or start your own!
▶ Tag others!
▶ Join the game!
TAGS HERE CAN COUNT AS GAME CANON IF YOU DESIRE!
▶ If you need Persona help, or have a question about the game itself, there's a section below with fellow players and mods who will be happy to aid you!

PROMPT 1: Beyond the City Dome
Silence.

It's unusal, like this place is entirely devoid of life around you. Outlines of burned and cindered buildings fill your line of view as far as the eye can see, as dust easily gets in your lungs. What few of plants are around are little and malnourished.

You see the outlines of a city far ahead of you in what looks like a giant clear bubble, but the walk will be long and tedious. Remembering what the butterfly-masked man you talked with said you were here as a Special Guest. If this is the city you're supposed to save, then why the hell are you so far away from it? Urgh, maybe something went wrong. Time to start exploring on your own and slowly head there. It seems to be your only hope...

Wait. What was that loud noise nearby?

NOTE: If you pick this prompt, please make sure it's marked clearly on your post as mods may tag this as well.

PROMPT 2: The 13th hour
The 13th hour.

Because of some unforeseen event, it now extends twice as long, the monsters going more vicious each passing day.

You are the resistance. You bump back what attacks the populace at night, their last hope. The world seems to change under the blood red sky - the entire city tinted in its glow, as demons emerge from the shadows, buildings shift and dangers lurk in every corner.

Hope you're prepared. Just be careful of what you run into --

Ahh...this might be a little trickier than normal.

PROMPT 3: A simple drive in a car
They told you about the gadgeteer, Q. Truth be told, you didn't expect him to ask you anything, but he needs a guinea pig no seriously guinea pig to test out his newest vehicle. It's the 13th Hour, and the night sky above is stained red. He looks at you before you start driving.

"Now do be careful. I've installed all sorts of weapons inside the old girl. If you could bring it back in one piece?"

No problem, you think, before you realize you have no idea what all these buttons do. Now what?

...Wait. ...Do you even have a driving license......?

PROMPT 4: A suspicious note...
A city like no other...Ahh Hinoto-Ri. City of lights, questionable Wards, the 13th Hour and Personas. A city that requires your aid in saving it, but sometimes in the strangest of ways...

Japanese school may be rather different for you, but you've been adjusting! However, something unexpected gets dropped desk (or foot locker) today.


Hmmm. This might be, well it would depend what type of person you are, actually. But the question is, how do you react? And most importantly, who do you accuse?

OH MY GOD DID YOU REALLY DRAW JUST FOR THIS TAG

[ SOMEONE is boring a hole into his head; don't think he didn't notice. Hm. Obvious Persona user--but quite a number of people here seem to be. Still, though, he's going to order his Takoyaki and then do something ridiculous:

Sit down right next to her. ]


Hope you don't mind if I sit here, Miss...?

[ Well that voice is probably pretty hard to mistake. Hm, she reminds him of someone, though... but who? He's not familiar with this girl, but that doesn't mean much--there's a lot of people and a lot of realities out there. So, he's curious. ]

Mmmmaybe

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[No no no no no why are you coming closer, oh gods that was definitely his voice but there was a certain coldness to it, strangely enough. She couldn't quite explain it, much like she probably couldn't explain her reddening cheeks.]

What the hell's up with the hair, Arisato? Are those contacts?

[Okay, no that's not fair to a perfect stranger. Let's cut the snark and try again...]

It's Miki. Miki Sanada.
attendingtheending: (Maybe I should heal you or something.)

HAHAHA you beautiful person

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-01 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... Uh... he's going to pause, and then blink. Should he answer that? He's not sure he should. On the one hand, saying this was all natural would be kinda weird--and it is, but you know, people probably shouldn't know too much. ]

I suppose this might sound strange, Miss Sanada, but my name is Michael. It's nice to meet you regardless, though.

[ And he will smile! And then eat some of his Takoyaki. He's not carting his Compendium around because that would probably look a bit weird, he figures, and it's functionally useless at the moment, weight aside. Better to just keep it changed to a smaller book in his back pocket until he needs it. ]
helenchanter: Made and drawn by <user name=pixle> DNS (What the hell)

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Michael?

[Oh well shit! How's that for mistaken identity. Idly she taps her stick, thinking about how to answer that.]

I apologize. You sound and look like someone I know, Minato Arisato. I just assumed wrongly...

[Internally, she wants to scream. What is with this place and always testing her limits? Is Sakaki gonna fall from the sky a fully-fledged member of SEES at this rate?]

You're from the Velvet Room?
attendingtheending: (Good job there Einstein.)

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-01 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, she already knows. Well, he's not going to deny it. He's kind of curious what her reality is like, though. He's seen more than a few interesting ones, but... well. She's not WRONG, technically... a universe wherein Miki Sanada survived that fire at the orphanage, huh...? ]

Ah, no, it's okay. These things happen, from time to time. Yes, I work there.
helenchanter: Made and drawn by <user name=pixle> DNS (Confused)

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Um... okay?

[...from time to time? What did that even mean? Still, it's so uncanny-valley with this guy. The politeness of Mitsuru-senpai with Minato's voice...]

I see. No offense, but it must be boring. Staying up in one place, just waiting for people to show up. I know Igor said something that time has no meaning there, but I can see why William requests visits around the city all the time...

attendingtheending: --You know, the one you just received from me. (My sympathies for the asskicking--)

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-01 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ It means far too many people keep thinking he's a dead person and they're not wrong, but denying it gets awkward--not that he'd say that. ]

It's only boring if you don't find your work meaningful. That I am able to assist our guests is the only thing that matters to me. That's my purpose for being there: to aid them. ... But, yes, it can get a bit dull on some days. I'll admit it's been... awhile, since I've been able to just eat out.
helenchanted: (Smirk)

[personal profile] helenchanted 2014-06-01 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The glasses aren't bad on him either...wait what was she thinking.]

Ha! That's a pretty good answer. Yeah, I suppose if the work's meaningful then it doesn't really matter.

...So the first thing you do is come here and have these?

[She swishes it into the air before eating one of the balls whole.]

Good choice!
attended: (Magician.)

[personal profile] attended 2014-06-01 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah he's going to finish his. He's not setting any records, but it's also not to be rushed. He wants to savor okay. ]

Takoyaki's a rare treat. I've always enjoyed it. I might just spend a few hours seeing what else they have to eat around here and trying it out.

[ He has priorities... really. ]

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
So question since William just keeps tricking me and all...[Devil Arcana]...but what do you guys do when no one's around? Like to you sleep? Can Igor even close his eyes?

I don't think I've ever seen him blink!
attendingtheending: --A Jack Frost with Ragnarok?! (Are you serious about that...?)

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-01 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
... I'm not sure how much I'm at liberty to say. ... Well, I do LIKE sleeping, but we don't have to sleep... or at least, I don't, so I usually don't. I'm usually working. But I prefer to either read or listen to music, if I have some time to myself. ... And just between you and me... no, I've never seen our Master blink.

[ Not once, the entire time he's known him. Igor is a focused man. It's kind of crazy. ]
helenchanted: (Uhhhh)

[personal profile] helenchanted 2014-06-01 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
...Between you and me...that's kinda creepy.

[He's a nice guy, she knows but still. Creepy.]

Workaholic huh. Well, I guess there's stuff to do? [She's still not sure what they do exactly.] How many Guests did you you have before you were put here? Is Philemon having a Velvet shortage?
attendingtheending: (NO I WON'T WEAR IT.)

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-01 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he does it when no one's looking? As for your other questions, though... well...

[ He's... honestly pondering this now. Thanks, Miki. But he really has to stop and think about whether or not he's allowed to say this kind of thing. It seems wrong. If she's in a similar timeline to where he originated, that would really mess stuff up, and he doesn't much want to go into details about the disaster he had with Souji. ... Granted, that was hardly HIS fault--he TRIED, real hard, for what happened not to, well, happen, but sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways. ]

I don't think he's having a shortage. I'm honestly not sure why he brought me here at all, but perhaps I can do something of use. I also doubt I'm allowed to give exacts out. If we spoke about our individual guests, or even how many we've had, it would sort of be like violating their confidentially in us. ... But it's probably less than you'd think. Or perhaps more. It depends on your guess.

[ Sorry, Miki. Vague answer has to be vague. ]
helenchanter: Made and drawn by <user name=pixle> DNS (Siigh)

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
...

[...]

...well I tried.

[She didn't know what she was expecting in answers, but well, somehow it's not too surprising to hear what he says. For all the answers she'd like to know, it is probably violating some terms somewhere, DAMN this is stupid if she could she'd punch Philemon in the--]

Well, at least now you can enjoy food more, right?
attended: (High Priestess.)

[personal profile] attended 2014-06-01 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... He feels bad, now. Sorry, Miki... ]

You have my sincere apologies about it. It's not as if we go out of our way to be infuriating... well, most of us.

[ He cannot promise the same for Gabriel if she ever meets him, though. He can be a little shit sometimes. ]

I plan to take full advantage of my time off here, however. I'm going to attempt to see how many places in this area I can eat at before they close.

[ Yay binge eating! Should be fun. ]
helenchanter: Made and drawn by <user name=pixle> DNS (Confused)

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Do you even need to eat, or is this just for fun?

[She hands some of her own.]

Here. Mine's vegetarian since I don't eat meat for the most part. It's got a piece of daikon inside instead.

[personal profile] attended 2014-06-01 06:58 am (UTC)(link)


[ WOW MIKI way to make him feel spoiled already. He is actually extremely excited, okay. Don't mind if he does eat that before answering, because food!! ]

It'll be an enjoyable way to spend the day, I think! I enjoy all sorts of food, as do most of us. I only wish I could cook half as well as my coworker, perhaps we'd be allowed once in awhile to do so...

[ ... Again with the vagueness. It is probably a "no," the answer she's looking for. Doesn't mean he won't eat if given the chance though. ]

1/2

[personal profile] helenchanter 2014-06-01 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Urgh why do they never answer in full.]
helenchanted: (Uhhhh)

[personal profile] helenchanted 2014-06-01 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Uhh I guess. Eating too much would make me fat to be honest... Is your co-worker here too?
attendingtheending: --A Jack Frost with Ragnarok?! (Are you serious about that...?)

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-02 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Give him a moment to finish his food, but he will answer. ]

He might be, if Master saw fit to send me here, he'd probably have the same happen for similar reasons. I can't be sure, though, there's quite a number of people here, tracking him just by feeling would... take time.

[ And without his Compendium really functioning, he couldn't just pull out a Persona to focus on it for him either, so. Honestly, the collective unconscious is just whitenoise now. He can't tell anything anymore, which is weird for him. ]
helenchanted: (Smirk)

Last tag before bed.

[personal profile] helenchanted 2014-06-02 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he's polite...or just really hungry. Maybe both!]

Ahh yeah, I get it. Well, maybe he'll show up on the network, if you're lucky. Having friends around does help.
attendingtheending: (The Persona Compendium.)

[personal profile] attendingtheending 2014-06-02 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Both. Definitely both. He pays the owner slightly more money than it's even worth, after all this. ]

With any luck, perhaps. Now, forgive me for asking, Miss Sanada, but... could you tell me about the other attendants you've spoken with here?

[ It might seem like a strange question, but as far as this reality or whatever this place is, he hasn't met them directly. ]
helenchanted: (Sanada Face)

[personal profile] helenchanted 2014-06-03 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Um...William and Caroline, but I saw a piano and singing lady in there maybe a year ago...
attended: (High Priestess.)

[personal profile] attended 2014-06-06 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... Hm. Interesting. Names he's unfamiliar with. Well, he supposes he'll have to try to make some friends with them. It'd be odd if he didn't. ]

Those definitely aren't names I'm familiar with, but that's hardly surprising, I suppose.
