[ This post takes place approximately twenty minutes after the old standard of 'wake up, freak out, and find yourself within an obscenely huge castle with a magical Pagemaster-looking book'. Yukiko has calmed herself enough to leave her room, sitting on a small couch in the hallway outside of her room. She smooths down the pages a few times, sending a crinkling noise across the page-waves, and clears her throat nervously.

This book's been writing itself ever since she started looking at it. Maybe it's time to reach out herself. ]

Um...hello? This is Yukiko Amagi.

[ Her breath catches in a soft gasp. Yup! That certainly did write itself. She clears her throat again, her feet fidgeting in front of one another. ]

I'm sorry if this sounds silly, but everyone else seems so settled in...I'm not really sure what's happened here. This isn't-- well, I wasn't really expecting to be here. [ A pause. She tries not to look too consternated. ] I'm not sure where here is.

If anyone could tell me that, I'd- mm. It'd be very appreciated. Thank you.

[ Now she'll just stare at the book, trying to avoid the second round of freaking out. As far as she knows, the TV had just short-circuited and dumped her out into this new world after Void Quest. Maybe this was another part of the TV World...? Maybe this book wasn't communicating at all, but just. Writing itself, somehow.

Stranger things had happened. ]

Mm, Rise-chan already got in contact with me. [ She makes another thoughtful noise, toying with the edge of the page. ]

If you already know us from Inaba...is there anyone else here that you recall whom I might know?

Just Kujikawa and yourself for now. I made it a priority to see if anyone else in your group are in here as well. So far, there are only three Persona users in this castle. She doesn't know about Adachi yet, since he lost his memory right now]

Huh?!

[ She fumbles the journal, sending it down with a clatter. That one had come out of nowhere, and she needed to take a second here. How do we play this one...?

And more importantly, where's Yu/Souji/Kenpachi Ramasama when you need him? ]

Um...did you say 'Persona users'?

[ Smooth. ]

Indeed.

Where did- [ She halts again, whetting her lips. Calm down, Yukiko. ] Where did you hear that term?

I am a Persona-user myself.

Oh.

[ She says it lamely, letting the word flop. That explained it! They'd found new Persona-users after wrapping up the murder case...or at least, she hoped they wrapped up the murder case.

Thoughts for another time. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't realise. So...with Rise-chan, myself, and Kirijo-san, that makes three of us here?

No need to apologize, I understand the confusion. And yes, there is only three of us in the castle as far as we know.

I've been told the castle could be dangerous at times. And as the only three Persona-users in this castle, we should work together. I'll try and search for you in the castle so we could meet in person...

Of course! I'd love to meet you in person, Kirijo-san.

[ Or is it...in persona? She muffles a snort, covering her mouth quickly. ]

There's a small lounge area outside room [ NUMBER HERE ]. I'll stay here and wait for you.

[Mitsuru got to the lounge area Yukiko told her about, it turns out she was close-by anyway. She was already pretty familiar with most of the castle halls.]

Ah, there you are Amagi.

Kirijo-san?

[ Dang. Daaaang. She didn't know what she was expecting, but it wasn't this. Yukiko gets to her feet, giving a short bow. ]

It's very nice to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you again, Yukiko Amagi. [Mitsuru smiled when Yukiko bowed to her, it made her feel at home in Japan again]

Thank you. I wish I could say the same.

Now, ah...you mentioned something about danger earlier?

I did. Although I haven't encountered anything dangerous yet. While I already have seen your capability in combat, it would still be best to stay on guard. [Mitsuru is being protective ]

Oh, I guess you would have, if you're a Persona-user too. Can I ask what your Persona does?

My Artemesia focuses on ice-attacks, and I could use support and scanning skills as Kujikawa, although mine are not as advanced as her's.

Really? Konohana Sakuya is fire and healing. It looks like we'll make a really good team!

Indeed we would. With Kujikawa along with us, we have a good start.

Now, hopefully a few more people might arrive. At least long enough to help us all get out.

[Mitsuru was unsure if it's actually better to have more people from their world stuck in here]

Indeed. Although I'm sure there are others not from our world who would be of great help to us.

It would be quite nice to be reacquainted with your friends again, however. Your group reminds me of my own three years ago.

Really? Was that when you were in high school too, Kirijo-san?

Yes. [Mitsuru hold herself back before she just tells Yukiko about how they managed to save the whole world on the 31st of January from Nyx, there's no reason and that would just be cocky]

Perhaps you have heard of Tatsumi Port Island and Gekkoukan High School? That is where I spent my high school years. I heard students from Inaba took a field trip there.

Oh! Yes, we've had quite a few customers from that area. It sounds like quite a metropolis.

[ Oh, wait. Study trip? ]

That may have been the year before us. I don't recall any study trip happening, either.

I see. Or it could be in your immediate future [Mitsuru smiles, this story about Yukiko and her friends having fun and enjoying their life as students gives Mitsuru more motivation to find their way home]

Your inn is quite famous for it's onsen, correct? I heard this castle has one on the grounds.

It is. The Amagi Inn has boasted the best hot spring for longer than I can remember. Still, it'll be nice to have another one nearby.
