001 | action & private text;

[ It’s noon, and Entranceway’s newest arrival is curious as fuck. She’ll be wandering about the gardens, snooping around the mansion, peeking in through windows, staring at the blue skies that make up the entrance hall’s ceiling, sniffing the food in the kitchen, and everything in between.

There are mysteries here, and Naoto Shirogane, ace detective, is on the case. If that means interrogating the shit out of anyone who crosses her path, so be it.

Eventually, she’ll find the communications system and, after spending a while figuring it out (it's not hard to find previous posts and others' conversations), she’ll send out a brief, private message: ]

To Souji Seta & Yousuke Hanamura--
IMPT MESSAGE:
HELLO.
ARE U THERE?
PLZ RESPOND ASAP.

Have you observed any other patterns besides that?

Nope. Other than that, anything can happen, as long as it's somewhere in someone's memories.

Does it usually sample from certain types of memories? Childhood ones, ones created before coming here, ones created here? Perhaps it targets the memories of only a few? It can't be an entirely arbitrary system; especially when we consider how consistent they are when it concerns timing.

Well... I guess anything dangerous, or exciting? Or just, weird? It's hard to explain. Usually "normal" sort of memories don't happen. If "normal" really means anything.

In other words, things that would stand out to the individual-- things with high emotional value.

Uh, yeah. That sounds about right.

[Here it comes again. That slightly irritating feeling of being around someone way, way smarter than you. although he's a little more mature than he used to be, and it doesn't bother him as much.]

I wonder why those memories are singularly important, though. If we consider those memories as being somehow stronger than other mundane ones, perhaps they're the only ones that Wonderland can work with? Or perhaps it targets those memories specifically for some other purpose?

Whatever the case, further investigation is necessary. We'll need to gather a list of as many previous events as possible-- talk to the ones whose memories they came from, and understand the emotional importance of those memories.

[ And she just keeps going and going. Naoto's on a roll, motherfuckers. ]

We think that the mansion feeds on memories. It really seems to have a mind of it's own... Sometimes even the Queen seems to be working for someone else.

[Her rambling makes him remember something though.]

If you want something like that, you should ask Minato. I'm pretty sure he's been keeping a list of nearly everything that happens here.

Ah, yes. I've spoken with him before. [ "You won't have to investigate alone." ]

He's trustworthy, right?

About as trustworthy as they get. He's one of my best friends.

[ Smile and nod. ]

Good. He had... a lot of information about our circumstances, which I assumed meant that he had to be well acquainted with either you or Senpai. Perhaps both. I just wanted to be sure, though. [ She contemplates mentioning her notebook-- the one she apparently gave Minato when she was last here but doesn't remember. In the end, though, she'll keep it to herself. At least until she can sift through all the information contained within it. ]

He knows all of us pretty well. About Inaba and the Midnight Channel-- he's been here a long time, like us. And he had Persona too, like Souji does. He had a whole group himself that went through a different shadow world to stop something really dangerous. He knows how all this goes.

It's strange, isn't it? I had thought we were an isolated case. I wonder how many other groups-- like our Investigation Team, are out there?

I did too, but... if shadows come from people's hearts, I guess they'll always find a way to sneak into existence. There may be tons of people out there with the power of persona.

I don't know whether to be glad that we're not alone, or... Well, worried, I suppose. Worried and sad for the others who must also face the dangers that we do.

...Worried and sad?

I'm sorry, but was that just empathy I heard coming out of you?

Hey, wait a minute! I am perfectly capable of empathy!

Well yeah, I guess, but it's sort of like in the movies when the robot asks its creator if it's alive.

It's nothing like that! Nothing at all! I-- It's-- [ huff puff whoops getting more and more flustered, she can't even come up with all the ways that is inaccurate as fux. ]

Y-You seriously cannot compare me to a robot! That's-- It's just not right. [ I mean, come on, my shadow was only half robot. ]

Woah there chibisuke, calm down! It's a joke, a joke! You know, compare A to B, these things are similar, haha very funny? I know you're not actually a robot.

[ She is just... Going to cover her face with her hands. Chibisuke, really? oh my god ]

It wasn't very funny. At all. In the least.

You just need to brush up on your humor a bit.

My humor is perfectly fine, thank you. [ that's a terrible lie, and everyone knows it. ]
