[The blonde's voice sounds confident at first, as if she's used to being in strange, maybe unexplainable situations. She stands confidently, too, her shoulders back and her head tilted just slightly to the side. There's something strange about her. Maybe her eyes that seem just a little bit off, or the fact that she's got a pair of large "headphones" on, or maybe that everything below her chin that isn't covered by her uniform is covered in white fabric. Eh, w/e there's been stranger.]

Excuse me, please. I am sure this is a question that is often asked, but I still would like to know... what, exactly, is going on? I am not certain as to how I came to be here. I have heard tales of... Wonderland... where I am from, but I have never had the chance to truly study them. [Hey, she's only been alive a year okay? And whatever she knows is sooooo skewed by a certain Persona. Still, she looks away as if embarrassed.]

If there is anything I should know about this place, I would appreciate the information. I will need to get back to my friends, if possible... they will worry about me. And I have something very important I need to do. I know it must be common to hear such things, but I need to know so I may return as soon as possible.

[That voice. And... everything about her.]

... Aigis?

[He didn't know why he had to ask. It was her, it clearly was. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so surprised either, but the expression had made itself clear before he could stop it.]

Sorry for the spoilers dude, but you're not getting out of here easily. Doesn't matter what or who you've got waiting for you; the mansion has sunk its filthy claws in and isn't letting you go.

The good news is that time won't pass whilst you're away, so your important thing will be waiting when you do eventually get out. The bad news is that your escape could be months or even years away.

[Souji doesn't know who Aigis is because Minato has not told him about her. BUT he will never not help a girl in need. Or anyone in need really.]

We'd all like to go back. Unfortunately, this place makes that difficult.

No one really knows how we got here. But I don't think it's that important.

[... You're dead.

You're definitely dead. She just saw you. Dead. Protecting the world and stuff. This is concerning.

At the same time, she hasn't seen you in a month, and you're dead, but if it's really you, then it's... okay to be happy, right?

Way to break her already.]

Minato-san?

[That sounds vaguely familiar.]

Are we in a time loop, then? If time is not passing and we are trapped here?

It may make it difficult, but that doesn't mean it is impossible. [... right?]

If we know how we got here, wouldn't it be easier to find the way back?

That's probably the best way to look at it. We don't age here but seasons seem to come and go as normal, but don't rely on anything else being anything less than fucked up. Every couple of weeks the mansion decides to play with us by throwing some sort of event.

[Aging? What's that?] An event? Like what?

That makes sense, but I don't think it's that easy.

Nothing's impossible. [...] But some things are a lot more difficult than others.

It's a pain in the ass, that's what.

[He relents slightly.]

Most of the time, anyway. The last one wasn't too bad - each floor was like the set of a different film and there were dinosaurs in the woods. The one before that was seriously screwed, though - different things were happening all over the place. Basically, for a few days the scenery changes or we're forced to change in some way.

[Minato picked up his comm device and was already on the move to find her.]

Where are you?

[He left his room on the Third Floor, going out into the hallway. He looked again at the screen on his communicator to see where she could be too.]

Even if that is the case, I will not give up until I am home again. I need to return as soon as possible.

Have you ever tried it before?

Is someone controlling it or is that just the way of... Wonderland? [It feels weird to say, okay?]

A film set would have been interesting to visit. I have never been to one before, but I have seen a few movies...

[He smiles, just a little. That determination is admirable.]

Where is home?

There are people who have. Not me, though.

I am still at the entrance, I think... [She'd looked around a little but really, no point in looking around much alone. And when you have a means to contact others, might as well use it, right?

It takes a second for her normal mindset to kick in. This was a real surprise to her.] But I will come and find you--!

There's a Queen who does some stuff and is generally not a nice person, from what I've heard, but it seems like the mansion itself is pulling most of the strings.

Oh, there were no cameras or directors or anything. Just like the scenery and stuff. Which made it less annoying, because there were no directors yelling at you, but also more dangerous since everything was real.

I am from Tatsumi Port Island, Japan. [It should be big enough that the name is at least familiar, shouldn't it?]

Then I will simply have to try again.

I was not aware mansions could be sentient.

I was also not aware they could change their scenery so easily.

...The reason so many people are here is because no one's been able to. But I'll help you if I can.
