[Video] Greeting newcomers with a smile!

Hey, Vatheon!

[ Have a smile from the camera, and a wave, Vatheon. :D The speaker is positively cheerful and bubbly, obviously unbothered by recent events. Or, rather, if she is, it isn't showing. ]

We've got some new arrivals, right~? If my info is right, that meeeeaaaans... you're all probably wondering a bunch of things! Well, never fear, because your ace reporter Maya Amano is here! The who's who, the what's what, and even anything else you can think of. As long as we've gotten it covered by someone I've probably got some info on it. After all, what good is being a journalist if you don't share?

[ If it was even possible, her smile widens. ] So! Go on, ask me anything! Oh, and don't be afraid to come see me if you want to just have some coffee or something on top of asking if you need to--I'm at this cute little café near the entrance to the Park, right? They have amazing seating.

[ A pause. ]

Oh, yeah--and if anyone's seen a guy who's a little uptight and goes by the name of Katsuya, could they drop me a little note? Thanks! And remember, "Think Positive" when things get tough! Even though our situation isn't ideal, it can still be a lot of fun if you give it a chance, right? Ciao! ♥

[ The feed cuts from there, with her blowing a kiss. ]

[ ooc: Action is fine if you want. Can't guarantee I will be able to reply right away because we're having a ton of storms here, but! Have a cheery reporter, Vat. ]

[ Ah... now that he mentions it... ]

Yeah, all of us can--out of my group, I mean, and the group before us. Philemon put it this way: everyone has many masks, right? It's just like... picking out new ones to put on. Everyone I know can do it, though we have our initial ones, and the ones that... seem to be most like 'us', haha. Like I had Maia, but the Velvet Room helps provide us with new ones.

[ A thoughtful pause. ]

Artemis is me, but the others are also me, I guess. Ahh, this is a little confusing... why is it so different?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

[He chuckles, a little wryly.]

The first time I mentioned the door to the Velvet Room, I was asked "what door?".

I suppose...things must have changed over time, slightly?

... Yeah, this is kind of giving me a headache. Philemon and his workers, Igor-san and the others... they're already weird and mysterious. Let's not add to it.

[ Because ow, her head. ]

Well, whatever the difference... Minato-kun... I want you to know that no matter what's happened to you or what you do, we're friends, okay? So don't be afraid to come to me or open up to me... I want to be here for you and I want you to talk to me if you feel the need.

[ Her smile returns. ]

We're both Persona users, after all... we should stick together! Your Maya-nee will always be here as long as you need her, alright?

[And a slight smile at that.]

Of course. I'll be sure to remember that; thank you. The same goes for you, if there's ever any way I can help you.

As you said, we should stick together.

[...]

Just in case any other weird things happen.

What, you mean like dinosaurs? ... Don't worry, I'll always have your back, Minato-kun. It seems to me you're a little overdue for someone watching over you.

[ She does mean it. ]

[He's...a little surprised. But he's touched as well. It seems like Vatheon really is full of surprises, hm?]

Thank you, Maya-chan. I...really appreciate it.

[He really means that, too. Considering he has generally been the one watching out for others...this is touching.

But pfff dinosaurs.]

But yes, like the dinosaurs. Though I'm beginning to think nothing will be surprising anymore after everything else.

Tell me about it... seriously, as if our lives could get any weirder... but then they did.

[ Or in her case, afterlife. But whatever. ]

Kind of makes me wonder what sort of odd things you guys have been through.

[ ... But she's pretty sure it can't be weirder than fighting through a spaceship to catch up to Hitler. ]

[He considers this, vaguely amused.]

We've yet to have to fight Hitler, if that's what you're asking.

The Roulette Wheel shadow was something else, though, I have to say. Not to mention the Dark Hour itself.

... Believe me, you're better off not.

[ A sigh there; that creepoid's lance fascination was what killed her. ]

Anyway... the Dark Hour and Shadows... you keep mentioning Shadows, and that sounds kind of familiar to me. Are they like... people? Or more like the demons we've fought?

[He can believe it, but he simply focuses on the next question.]

Oh. Shadows are the creatures we fight--I suppose they are a little like demons.

[He pauses, thinking of Naoki, and amends--]

Only a little though.

Well, you can negotiate with demons... but we were never really able to do that with the Shadows that appeared of Lisa-chan, Eikichi-kun, and Tatsuya-kun... they were like copies of them. In fact, they even had reverse versions of our Personas.

[ It... was rather odd, really. ]

It's a little concerning, though... I thought we'd stopped all of that?

[A tilt of his head.]

The shadows I've encountered aren't anything like that. But they aren't exactly capable of conversing either. They're...more like monsters, to be honest.

[... humanity's fault. :c But he just falls silent on that point. Yeah. Too depressing a topic.]

Hmm... well, not all demons could speak either. But I'm fairly sure the Shadows we encountered were made by the Crawling Chaos. He said he was part of humanity... so it's good to know that whatever happened, you guys are still around, regardless.

[ It certainly cheers her up. And then she is far too happy to smile again. ]

I guess it's best not to dwell, right? So, tell me about your adventures! I'm all ears.

[ :D ]

I suppose so.

[...adventures? ...Can they even be called that? Well uh...]

Um...It's difficult to find a place to start, to be honest.

Then start where it started! You told me a little bit about things, but you certainly weren't very specific, Minato-kun. So, be specific!

[ The journalist in her is eager to hear the things he would say. She really smells a scoop here; it's a shame it's not one she'd write about. ]

[Where did it start, anyway? It feels like so long ago.]

...I had only been in Iwatodai a few days before the dorm was attacked by a large shadow.

[...A slightly unamused look goes here.]

And the first time I summoned my Persona, Death decided to show up as well.

Geez, talk about showing up uninvited! That must have been really difficult...

[ She is starting to wonder if she can give this thing, like, a pink slip or something... ]

It wasn't pleasant, no.

[In other words, it hurt like hell, but yeah. He nods.]

Still...he was able to defeat the shadow. After that, I was invited to join SEES; it's a group organized to look like a school club, but the true purpose is, of course, to fight shadows.

That makes a lot of sense... no one was even aware of the demons the Joker sent after us, so we had to keep it secret too. I bet you guys were a lot more organized than we were, huh?

[ A laugh; it's almost amusing. ]

I couldn't say. We did need to be organized for everything to work, of course. We even had a group sponsor, though...

[...Ikutsuki. :c]

... That doesn't sound like it went too well.

[ But she won't push the issue if he doesn't want to talk about it. ]

What happened after you joined?

[No. No it did not. Though how do you say that he wanted to sacrifice them a la Jesus?]

Well...Then we went to Tartarus. It's a giant tower filled with shadows that our school becomes when the Dark Hour hits.

[/flattest expression ever]

... That sounds kind of familiar. Tartarus... are you sure it's called that, Minato-kun?

[ Lol Xibalba. But she does have to ask, because that... is an odd name, for sure. ]
