[Chie looks at her phone, beads of sweat dotting her forehead. This isn't her first time dealing with worlds that aren't her own, that doesn't make it any less stressful. Working out is the best way she knows how to deal with it.]

You know, I'm always willing to help out, but you could at least ask before you pull people from their beds. I probably would have still said yes if you were a little nicer about it.

[She wipes her forehead and grins.]

But hey, that file wasn't kidding when it said 'enhanced strength', was it? I think I could get used to this! I mean, as soon as I find a punching bag I won't put my foot through.

Anyway! I guess I'll be helping out now, I just have a couple of questions. First, do we get cool costumes or do we all wear the same uniform? And second, anyone know a good place to eat around here? There's a lot to learn around here, and I can't do it on an empty stomach.

[Already asking about food ... she kind of reminds him of Sasha. Which, actually, isn't a bad name to mention—]

Look for someone named Sasha Blouse. She'll recommend food to you.

[There's a pause.]

And we aren't given uniforms here.

[sticktokicks]

Sasha Blouse. I'll remember that, thank you!

[Chie pauses as well, types the name into her phone as a reminder. Hmm...]

Can we make our own uniforms if we want? I guess it's kind of pointless if you don't have an identity to protect, but for fun?

[isaytheeneigh]

[Jean only hopes that Sasha doesn't tell her everywhere ... which is a real danger.]

I don't think anyone cares what you decide to wear. I've seen people wear all kinds of things around. [In Miami, he'd seen even stranger things, both with the sharks ... and just being brought through the city.] So do whatever you want.

[redhairring]

Technically we don't get costumes. However, there's nothing stopping you from making your own.

[handwringing]

What do you like to eat? I might know a place.

[She doesn't really know what to say about the uniform, though. Maybe Kanaya could do something?]

[huitzilin]

[ she throws her arms out, looking excited. ]

BARBECUE!

...Instead've putting your foot through things, why not work on controlling it a bit better? Might be better training to kick something without breaking the shit outta it.

And most any place's decent. You in Heropa?

[sticktokicks]

Sounds great!

[Well, awesome! That's reassuring. Since she doesn't have her persona here, she'll need something to leave her mark with. Speaking of...]

Anyway, my name's Chie Satonaka. How long have you been here?

[sticktokicks]

Do a lot of people do it? I mean, I wouldn't be the only one in costume, would I?

[ktfod]

Enhanced strength? Heh, that makes the two of us. Found a few places to get good punching bags too, they're an older type of hanging bag though, so expect to chain them to a sturdy ceiling.

I could really go for a steak! Delicious, succulent, juicy steak.

[She sighs, a peaceful expression washing over her face as she loses herself in meat-filled fantasy.]

I'm a martial artist, I need protein to keep these muscles going.

[sticktokicks]

[Eyes wide, voice raised. You're speaking her language!]

WHERE?

[sticktokicks]

Well, excuse me! I've been here less than 24 hours, give me a break on not having new and awesome powers under control yet.

Yeah, I'm in Heropa.

/video

[sticktokicks]

Really? [Chie sighs with relief.] Whew, it's good to know I'm not the only one. I didn't know if there was anyone around for me to train with.

You think the ceilings in the houses they assign are tough enough?

/video

[ktfod]

I'd be willing to. Already had a few fights I managed without using my electricity or Persona. Getting a lot better on just focusing on the strength and honing it.

No, not in Heropa, you could easily get a mount of it though. Have you set up a hanging bag before?

/video

[sticktokicks]

Your Persona?!

[Chie sits up straight and puts her face closer to the screen, as if that would do anything to prove he really had a Persona.]

You mean, for fighting Shadows?

/video

[ktfod]

[Whooaa whoa, that sudden surprise makes him jump a little. He's- not used to people reacting like that to mentioning Personas. Shit, is he really NOT supposed to talk about it again?]

[Pulls back a little as her face gets closer but he pulls on a calmer expression quickly.]

-Yeah. Have been for a while now. So you know about them?

/video

[sticktokicks]

Yeah! I fight them too! Well, I did.

[So did the Investigation Team not defeat Izanami after all? She could be hopping from town to town causing the same mayhem she did in Inaba! The thought made her growl in rage, who does she think she is?]

I thought we put an end to it a couple months ago. I guess we got bumped into the future a little so...a couple years?

/video

[ktfod]

I'm not sure. It's 2009 where I'm from in the city Iwatodai. We've been experiencing problems with shadows for a bit over ten years now, which is when it started. [But this- all isn't making a lot of sense... Not adding up.]

/video

[sticktokicks]

Over ten years? Geez.

[That's just great! Just when Chie thought the whole thing was figured out and over with, she finds out it isn't. At all.]

I was in Inaba, 2012. So maybe it is over! It sure better be, we had to fight a goddess, if you can believe it.

[redhairring]

I wouldn't know. I mean, I haven't seen any people in costumes, but I don't regularly look for those things. I'm no superhero.

[sticktokicks]

Why'd they bring you here if you're not a hero?

[video]

[pacifistaggressive]

[A woman shows up on the feed, rather relieved to see more and more people arriving. Even if they're not from his world, the idea that he's not alone in this situation really helps. Maybe it was because he was new, though. Heck, she's taking it a million times better than him, though.]

Costumes? You mean changes of clothes, right? I'm...just starting to learn about that myself, as a matter of fact.

[It's a bit more specific than that, Metalhawk...but the mention of food causes his eyes to light up, the bright blue really showing through the feed.]

I may know a place you can eat. My friend Bumblebee takes me there often.

[He smiles, as if proud of himself. He's -*learning*-]

[hoboagogo]

[Welp, guess it- doesn't matter if things are secret here or not. Especially since this girl is a persona user.... too?]

That can't be right. The Dark Hour was caused by this fuckup Shadow explosion, which is why Shadows were bleeding out into town. [GONNA JUST.... not mention Kirijo Group's involvement.]

It was a couple huge ones specifically, and we only got one left to take down back home.

[video]

[sticktokicks]

Do you have superheroes where you're from? I guess not everyone does.

We could go together, if you want. If we're stuck living together, there's no use in being strangers.
