dualpinkpistols | [Video] Gearing up for the first issue!

Ciao, Vatheon~!

[ Have a perky journalist, guys. She's smiling at the screen. ]

Seems like the influx of newcomers has stopped as predicted, huh? I'd like to take the time to say "hi!" to everyone here, new and old, if we haven't already met. I'm Maya Amano, and it's nice to meet you! Things can get a little hectic here, though it's mostly a nice peaceful place, so don't worry! We'll get through this together.

[ Moving topics, she holds up what appears to be a magazine cover. The words "COOLEST" are on the front in English, and at the bottom is a little "Kismet Publishing". ]

Right! And on that note... news. Yes, that's right, this journalist is looking for her first big scoop~! If you guys have anything you think is news-worthy, call your Ace Reporter, and I'll be there in a zip, okay?

[ Have a little silly salute as she continues on. ]

I'm currently looking for stories to collect, so if any of you guys would like to tell me about yourselves, your home world, what you do, or especially about any dreams you have of the future, I might feature you in Coolest's first issue, next month! Or I may even save your story for another issue. I'm aiming for everyone to get to know each other better on top of learn about Vatheon here itself with my magazine, so I want to do a spotlight column on all of us foreigners. I don't care about what you did back home, even if you were what you'd consider "ordinary" or not!

Because "ordinary" is really only a few letters away from "extraordinary", don't you think?

[ Putting the magazine away, the camera focuses on Maya, who is jokingly holding and smiling over a microphone in her hand. ]

Doesn't matter the topic you're comfortable talking about, Vatheon! Go ahead and tell me, because you're all live with Maya now! I hope we can all get to know each other and have some fun along the way. Cheers!

[ And then the feed cuts with a wink and grin. ]

[ FILTERED TO THE P3 CAST; 70% UNHACKABLE ]

[ There is a short pause, before she makes another call. Akihiko was gone from the dorms, as she'd noticed. ]

Hey, everyone. I heard your senpai went back... I know I haven't gotten the chance to meet and talk to all of you just yet in SEES. There's Haruka-chan and Ken-kun and Junpei-kun along with Mina-chin and Yukari-chan, right? I know you guys have inducted some new members, too. But if you guys need anything, don't hesitate to talk to me! As a fellow Persona user and an adult with personal experience on this sort of thing... I'd be happy just to listen, if you want. Maya's got your back! All of you.

[ FILTERED TO THE INVESTIGATION TEAM; 80% UNHACKABLE ]

[ To the Persona 4 cast, including Souji and Kanji and Naoto, Maya gives a happy little wave, now. ]

I heard from the grapevine you guys are from Inaba... and you know the Gekkoukan kids, from Tatsumi Port Island? You met recently, right? So you guys can also use a Persona? If you don't mind, I'd really love to talk to all of you in person! Ciao~ ♥

[ She seems a little embarrassed. ]

Oh! Well...

[ Pffft. ]

I-I'm not THAT bad at it, but it does take me a... really long time to apply anything aside from lipstick. I kind of fumble with most things, actually...

[ There's a thoughtful pause here. ]

You're right! Oh, I love that feeling! It was like that when Ulala-chan and I first found out apartment! And our dorm does have an awful lot of doors, huh?

It does! It looks a lot like the dorm we used to live in, back at Gekkoukan, actually. I...I like it.

She...didn't really mean to insinuate that Maya was bad at make-up, in any case, and looks a little apologetic. But she decides not to dwell on it. Maya seems happiest when she's talking, so Yukari moves on.

So you guys lived together, too? W-what was your apartment like?

[ ... She just giggles. ]

Which side? Ulala-chan's was a lot cleaner than mine... I never really had time to pick it up, h-haha... but I was two rooms, part of a big complex called "Lunar Palace Konan", since we lived in the Konan ward of Sumaru city.

[ It has struck her a bit, here, that she feels quite at home with everyone in the Volo dorms as well. They're... so alike Tatsuya and the others, she supposes, that she finds comfort in that. Not that she'd ever admit to being unsettled to begin with. ]

I have to admit, compared to Sumaru, this place is so quiet...! I'm used to living in a big city, you know? It's a nice change of pace.

Yeah, it is! It's a lot quieter than Iwatodai, too...for the most part.

[ She doesn't go into detail about the Dark Hour--probably the only time of night when it's quiet, outside Tartarus. Otherwise, it's night clubs, students out and about, both with and without Apathy Syndrome...late night karaoke. Sometimes she's thankful their dorm was just far away enough from all that. ]

And don't worry. If it wasn't for Mitsuru-senpai, I don't think any of us would've been as diligent with cleaning our rooms, either.

[ She chuckles. ]

And even so, I doubt your room was anywhere near as bad as Stupei's. You know, it was so bad once, senpai thought he'd been robbed.

[ ~~... It's probably a good thing Yukari doesn't know that in Eternal Punishment Katsuya thinks the exact same thing of Maya's room.~~ This makes her feel a little better. ]

That bad, huh? Ahaha! That's actually kind of cute.

[ She can't help but laugh; it's an amusing image. ]

I think it says something about a person, you know? Their room. Of course, you'd have to be home enough FOR it to say something...

[ Annnnd she kind of wasn't. If she was, she was sleeping. ]

[ ~~...well, I guess the idea had to come from somewhere--~~ Yukari doesn't think it was cute at all, though she does not in agreement to the second part. Her room...it meant a lot to her, even if she could relate to never having time to be in it. She laughs too, upon hearing Maya. ]

Yeah, I think that's true. I guess that's why I was so eager to get mine set up when I got here, heh.

[ She shrugs a little, her eyes averting away from the screen a bit. ]

Even if it is kind of a petty thing to be worried about, in the long run...

Petty? I don't think so! I think it just means you want to feel a little more at ease in your surroundings. Who could blame you for that, Yuka-chin?

[ She certainly understood that much. ]

...ha. Well. When you put it that way, I suppose...

[ Yukari smiles a little, feeling a little better already. Maya had that effect on people, it seemed. She scratches her head, looking around her room. ]

It's...very "me" now. The bedsheets, the curtains and all--they have a better selection here than I expected. Especially with everyone grabbing things for themselves, for free and all.

[ A smile! That's because this is Maya, and she takes care of those around her. She wants them to be happy, not be hard on themselves. ]

That sounds like fun! I haven't actually decorated mine much, to be honest... I just got some pink to spice it up a little. Usually I'm around town doing things.

[ Translation: SNOOPING, EAVESDROPPING, MOMMYING PEOPLE ETC. ]

Oh--well, it's not such a huge deal, haha. It was fun, though...

[ It was like window shopping, only more awesome because she actually got to take stuff home! Plus she got to spend time with Minato again, so that's something she can always be grateful for. She still owes him money, though, fffff-- ]

We should have a look around together sometime. Though your 'doing things' is probably more important...

[ A giggle. ]

My doing things generally consists of breaking down doors when they get in the way of a scoop. But that can wait any day that Yuka-chin wants to hang out with me!

[ ... Yeah she's not joking. UM. ]

[ .....s-snerk.

Well, okay. SEES has done some crazy things too, when things get in their way. Breaking down doors--well, at least they're replaceable. ]

Well, I'd be up for it! Maybe after you get this first issue out?

[ Wouldn't wanna slow you down, Maya-nee : |b ]
