When: Err...New Years Eve. Wut...wut? (December 31st, Day 14, etc.)
Where: The Castle Plaza
Rating: Worksafe. If this changes, PLEASE INFORM THE MODS.

[Look down. Now back up! Where are you? You're in the Castle Plaza, with the Gods your Gods could God like.

[Lively, pleasant music hangs in the air around you as fireworks explode in the sky above. There is a tempting aroma teasing at your nostrils. Where is it coming from? Those long tables at the center of the plaza, overflowing with food you love. Craving anything from home? You'll be sure to find it there.

[Look around you. What do you see? Carnival games. Hundreds of Carnival games, including a dunk tank, and all for free! Carnival games not your thing? Why not give the dance floor a try? That music is awfully catchy, and just look at all those stunning lights!

[Enjoy yourselves, travelers. A New Year is upon us.]

For breakfast...? I don't think I'm really choosy about it... Sometimes rice, or sometimes something Western like yogurt.

[Why are they even talking about this...]

[verifies]

Those aren't bad picks. Rice by itself is just carbohydrates though.

[ it's advice... or was... supposed to be... ]

[takebow]

Well, yeah. That's why I try to have a salad for either lunch or dinner most days.

[Can he possibly continue to be interested enough in a diet conversation with Yukari?]

[verifies]

That's it. That's the key to becoming a ring toss master.

[ interested, no... luckily he's grown adept at carrying on conversations he cares nothing about. ]

[takebow]

...Salad is the key to tossing?

[verifies]

That's why they call it tossing a salad.

[takebow]

...Cute.

[Eyeroll.] I'll work on that, then. Ya have a name, Mysterious-kun?

[verifies]

Souji Seta. It's nice to meet you.

[ and he'll offer a handshake to his successor. that only seems fair. ]

[takebow]

[Shakes his hand absent-mindedly.]

Souji...

Um, do you happen to be from Yasoinaba?

[verifies]

That's right. How'd you know?

[takebow]

I met your friend, Hanamura... And Minato-kun mentioned that there were people from Yasoinaba before that.

...You're the special member, right?

[verifies]

[ a nod. ]

So you're one of Minato's friends. [ it's not so much a question as a realization. ] From Port Island.

[takebow]

Mm-hmm.

[And you go in TVs. She already got that part... and she figures he'll realize she has a Persona quickly enough.]

[verifies]

[ cool they've got all the basics covered then. ]

You went through a lot.

[takebow]

[So Minato told him... Her eyes fall to the ground and she nods.]

...Yeah, I guess we did.

[And all for... Well, she's here now, and that's almost as good... In some ways, maybe this is a reward. All those thoughts are more or less visible on her face.]

But, so did you, right?

[She hasn't heard as many specifics, though.]

[verifies]

I guess we did too.

[ a pause. ]

And now we've all been dragged into something new.

[takebow]

...Yeah, it is something new. But not all of us are here... In fact, it really doesn't seem to be a lot of us, from SEES, anyway.

[verifies]

It's the same for us. A lot of us are here now... but there are still a lot of us that aren't, too.

[takebow]

...Well, if it has to be this way, it isn't so bad.

[verifies]

This place can be kind of fun. Sometimes.

[takebow]

[She hesitates. It's not really fun she's thinking of, it's dead people being alive, but she nods.]

That's true... I mean, it's kinda nice not to have to go to school or anything.

[verifies]

No studying for tests.

[takebow]

Right... And a lot easier to get by without a lot of working, too.

[verifies]

It almost makes me not want to go back.

[takebow]

[Maybe a little too quickly:]

Yeah, I know, right?

...If it stays this way, I don't have a problem with it, anyway.
