Hey I just wanted to let you know Makoto and Kazzy agreed to play
I double checked they can read maps

Not that it's going to do us much good with this whole shrinking bullshit
But
Assuming shit gets unfucked
Maybe we can play soon?

[Goro's only become aware very, very recently that standing in the middle of a parking lot with a wriggling bag is Kind of Sketch, but he tries not to look too suspicious as he waits for Elizabeth to arrive.

... Where did she live anyway, this is taking a whi oh thank goodness there she is, he's raising his hand in greeting.]

I hope you weren't troubled on your way over, Miss Velveteen?

Hey Elizabeth, got a minute?

[ It's a quiet day at the flower shop. And then Yato arrives.

He bursts through the front door in a striped apron and blatantly fake mustache, a mini ice cooler carted behind him. Normally he would be at immediate risk of being ejected from the premises, but for better or worse, the non-Retrospec occupants of the shop will seem like they can't even hear him. ]

Good afternoon! Yato's Ice Cream Curioso has arrived! It's a hot day, ladies and gentlemen. Come around, take a look! My frozen treats are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities!

[ Where's Elizabeth, THERE'S ELIZABETH. Yato beckons to her. ]

Don't be shy, miss! Would you like a sample?

after seeing you cull monsters at the convention, i shouldn't be the least bit worried about you, but i am.

i just wanted to check up on you in case maybe you would reply? is that silly? either way, i hope you're safe, Liz. i'm sure you are, but just come back safely. maybe if I keep using the word safe, it'll send you protective vibes.

we're doing our best on this side to help, too. hold out a little longer.

I hope this finds you well, Miss Liz, and that you're in no perilous danger; I unfortunately have, though the people I'm with are quite capable. However, I'm also pulling my weight! Just earlier this week, myself and another took on a skeletal orchestra, and just like in a video game we were rewarded with treasure. Including an adorable comb.

I'm currently wearing it as we speak, as I don't wish to lose it, though I think it would fit you more. As impossible as it is to ask this of anyone, please don't worry about me! I'll be back before you know it.

For now, however, we're currently planning out an attack on the engine room of the cruise ship we're on -- ah, we're on a cruise liner, it's my first time being on one (though i have learned recently that my other self has been on one before) --and trying not to get sick of pasta. I hope Silver isn't being too bad of company, though you two seem to get along well enough... I suppose I don't have to worry. Stay safe.

[There will be two photos to go with this!! One is of the skeleton orchestra, and the other is a selfie of Goro wearing the comb on the side of his head, pulling his bangs out of his face with a pleased smile. You can so tell he's used to model work.]

You didn't let me boy skip town or go with him, did you?
No you probably wouldn't.
You're sweeter than that.
Can you respond?
... I didn't think so.

You know, if you ever do receive those last few texts I should explain myself. You and dozens of other people including Silver and your other roomie all went missing at once. No one's seen you and at least for Toushiro or Silver, everyone's acting like they were never around at all. I have the pictures to prove they did though, and I can see their and your names right there offline on Retrospec.
Some broad we found is claiming that it's some Unreality storm or something that blew you guys out of reality.
What the devil does that even mean? Does it make sense to your role-playing mind?
Be sure to tell me about it if you come back.
When

Elizabeth, I'm going to throw a little party when you all come back. Help me with the decorations.
Unless you're too tired.
In which case, I'll manage it and you just need to show up.

[Around event start:]

Hey Liz, I don't think texts are going through but message me if you get this anyway, alright?
I'm all for a video game life, but this is a little much...
I'm in a jungle. Hope things back home settle for you soon.

[around 8/14:]

You know how in video games, some of the deadly traps are all about timing?
That applies to real life, too.
Hope you're in one piece.
And that you and Goro are enjoying the new place.
I'll see if I can find some souvenirs.

[It's... Something of an understatement to say that Silver's a wreck when he finally shows up to Elizabeth's house. He no longer has cool superpowers, or armor, or... The crown he damn well near died for, which is the biggest loss here. No swords, nothing. What he does have is a giant crocodile dutifully following behind him, a ragged t-shirt, worn from weeks of the jungle, and bandages on his arms, no longer hidden by his armor.

He really needs to change those. Or check into a hospital to make sure they're healing right. Neither of these are things he wants to do right now. He also needs to cut his damn singed hair, but none of those things are happening right now. Right now, he's strolling up to a god damn mansion with the clothes off his back, the remaining contents of his backpack, and mcdonalds, because damn if he isn't showing up with cheap and easy comfort food. He even picked up mcflurries. He's on top of his game.]

I'm here.

[Sending that brief text seems like a better plan than making a fuss at her front door while looking way more homeless than he usually does.]

[Hope you're not busy, Liz, there's a call for you. If she is, Goro simply asks she call him back when she can.

... Mysterious.]

eat my plants again.

I understand that they're just dogs, but surely they deserve at least some dignity.

Um.
Do you want to do some of those things in one of your texts sometime? I don't know if you were serious about the firefly one, I haven't been seeing them much anymore, but I confess I want to monopolize your time lately.

why won't he love me :C

aren't leather pants uncomfortable?

i personally can't imagine pulling them off.

This is the video!
Here!

[ here's an unprecedented photo, liz. ]

what about this one?

[It's been a nice enough week, he got a boyfriend and had an exhilarating battle that ended with him kissing the boy but the memory that was sparked from it in a dream that night was

not

so pleasant.

He's been keeping it to himself, but... well, he doesn't want to talk about it and distracting only works if he's around other people, so Elizabeth's getting a surprise visit at the flower shop this afternoon.]

Good afternoon, Miss Velveteen. May I ask for a lesson in flower arrangements?

So Liz.
Now that we're all settled in, it's time to haze Goro.
You in?

[To say that Silver's home late would imply that Silver comes home with any degree of consistency. Sure, it's late, but it's not as if there's any reason to be concerned about him, either. ...Other than the fog. And that missing people incident. Alright, there are a few reasons to be concerned, but it's not unusual, is the point, so maybe he can just sneak into the apartment with his bag of cvs medical supplies in peace.

He takes a second to take a deep breath, pull down his hoodie even though it's ruined now, with a nice big slice tearing through the side and some of the back, and peeks inside head first. Anyone home and out in the living room or kitchen? Hopefully not. Sneasel peeks his head in to scout first.]

[What a delightfully slow day. No more classes, no more work for the day, yes, it's just a perfect day to... To...

Nope, he's already bored. He knocks loudly on Elizabeth's door, but doesn't make any attempt to open it until he gets the okay.]

Hey, Liz?

6 November, 2017

Dear Liz,

You're invited to the Persona Meet and Greet #3! Now that this is a tradition, we'll be hosting another get-together to not only introduce and incorporate new members, but also consolidate our bonds as a team and share new findings, whether it be memories that follow similar themes or vital tidbits about Retrospec. Feel free to invite those that may have ties to Personas or Persona users.

DATE
Saturday, November 18th

TIME
5:00 pm

LOCATION
Recollé Tribunal Terrace Community Center
3F Staff Room

NOTE
We will move to Peach Beach for training if there's enough interest, then settle at an AYCE BBQ house. Bring $15 dollars to pay for admission and gratuity.

Trust exercises will be weaved into our meeting before dinner. Come mentally prepared to place your life in the hands of each other. Group support will be available for those who are still haunted by the events in October.

As a reminder, there is absolutely no obligation to attend. If you feel uncomfortable with the idea of sharing your status as a Persona user with others, simply do not come to the meeting. Such information will be kept confidential.

Please feel free to send any questions you may have and rate my stationery by texting me at XXX-XXX-XXXX or on Retrospec. I look forward to seeing all of you that decide to attend.

Sincerely,
Akira Kurusu

I've only ever seriously dated men, but I don't think I have anything against women. I'd prefer not to seriously date anyone younger than thirty or so, but I do not know if that's too stringent for this app. In terms of type, I can't deny that I like a somewhat roguish man, those high-minded charming people with some edge to them.

I have no desire to date anyone who is actually criminal though?

A handsome face is a must. Or a pretty face for a woman? I don't really know what else to say here.

Will that suffice? I can discuss more with you.

[Before Silver says or does anything, Elizabeth is going to be given a very clear indication that something is off; as he makes his way up the stairs and into their apartment, the bat-chittering edition of All I Want For Christmas Is You is impossibly loud. Yet it gets even louder as he enters the apartment and bolts over to Liz's room; it looks like these festive bats are soon to become her problem, because he doesn't wait to knock and instead swings her door open. Dozens of bats swarm around his head.]

I need help.

Probably not until after you're free from exams, but could you help me set up for that Last Fantasy thing? I accidentally talked to the guy whose company it on the network (I didn't realize he was here?) and I don't want to have lied to him.

Also did you know Silver's birthday is this month?
