first chapter | open [voice + action]
[ This is the first time Takakage has started a discussion instead of listening in and participating, so it took him a while to find the proper words for it.
Nevertheless, when he finally starts the transmission, his voice is quiet and confident, perhaps even a touch crystalline. ]
Hello, everyone. I am Takakage Kobayakawa, from the Land of the Rising Sun. You may also know me as MINTAKA from the previous Jaunt.
We have quite a few Persona users amongst us, myself included. Thus, I would like to propose that we meet and train together, so that those of us Investigating in future Jaunts will be able to pool our efforts together and use our gifts as a team. It will also aid in identifying Infiltrators, as I have noticed that our Personas also follow us if we take on alter egos. If you are partial to that idea, we can all share our abilities and compare what we are best at. I am aware that a few of us have also been Marked by Trumps, which may also change our Personas to some extent. That can be discussed as well.
As far as I know, I am the only Support Persona user in our midst, so it would be beneficial if you let me know, so I can best support you with what I can do. Noah is able to heal, scan surroundings, weaknesses, and detailed analysis - in addition to providing a psychic closed network which will be useful on stealth missions.
For those who have been Infiltrating with the Miners for the past Jaunt - may I also ask for your assistance? There was another Program with me, SAIPH - do you know if she is amongst us as a Traveler? I have something that belongs to her.
If you need me in person, I will be by the entrance next to the Trump phone. Thank you for your time.

no subject
In our world, most people can't use Personas at all. The ability is... kind of innate? There was an experiment someone did - I want to say ten years ago, but without knowing how time works here, it's hard to tell whether that's true. It was a little over ten years before the time I'm from.
[Or the last time she remembers, anyway.]
Anyway, that experiment unleashed a lot of Shadows - if you don't know what those are, then just think monsters for now - and something called the Dark Hour, which was basically a hidden twenty-fifth hour of the day. Most humans aren't aware of it, and of those who are, most can't handle it, at least not without any sort of training. The only people who can function normally are people who have the potential to summon a Persona, and only Persona users can use an Evoker. In fact, Persona users in our world need to use an Evoker.
[Or dramatic emoting in Takaya's case, but there are other issues there.]
Evokers work through fear. You're basically symbolically killing yourself, and the fear of that, along with whatever existing potential you have, is what lets you summon a Persona. It's not really something that can be taught, and it's absolutely not something that should be induced. I'm not sure if the ability existed before the Dark Hour, but while the Dark Hour existed, that was the most reliable way to find other Persona users.
