Er... Sorry to bother everyone with something so... comparatively inconsequential, but...

[ Jess pauses for a moment or two, because she can't help feeling awkward about this. This is so stupid. ]

I don't make a good blonde. And quite honestly, I really hate to fulfill my parents' dream of being their perfect Aryan superchild, and my roots are growing in, so...

Black hairdye. Can someone make it for me? I can't really... pay you back, but I'll do what I can.

I've gotten pretty good at doing it myself... but I wouldn't mind some help making sure I don't miss any spots.

I'll be happy for the girl time, frankly. Plus I think our Overlays talked in Newport and I've been meaning to catch up with the original you.

Oh, did we? I'm sorry, which one were you? It was a little hard to keep track with all the secret identities flying around.

Hypersonic. Also Rise Kujikawa, if you listened to britpop while you were there.

I think I looked back on the network and saw you were Wreckingball? I hope I got that right. Talking to you was probably the most productive thing I did there.

Yeah, that was me. I probably could have used a bit more talking to, back there. I swear I haven't been quite that dumb in... a few years now...

I usually go by Spider-Woman. Or just... Jess, when I'm not wearing a mask.

Rise Kujikawa's my real name, too. I don't usually wear a mask, but come to think of it that would have been pretty cool. Maybe if we want to go full superhero with Personas...

[Or Phantom Thieves, whatever.]

It's nice to meet you properly, Jess-san.

You too, Rise.

Can I ask what a Persona is? I've heard the word around a couple times, and I'm assuming you're talking about something other than an alternate identity.

I need to start writing this down, huh?

Well...you know how in Newport people got superpowers from a connection to Spirits? Personas are kind of like superpowers you get from a connection to...yourself. They're a part of you you can kind of project and they do different things. Mine, Himiko, is good at navigating and analyzing things for weaknesses. Naoto's are good at beating people up, Naoki-kun's are good at healing, and Souji and Kanji both have kind of a variety.

That makes sense. At least... it wouldn't be out of place in the world where I'm from. Most of us get our powers from science experiments gone wrong, or mutations, but there's probably one or two kids with abilities like yours running around back home...

Your power sounds like it could be really useful.

[ And god, it's a good thing she doesn't belong to Jess' home universe, or SHIELD would snap her up in a heartbeat. She seems like a good kid - she doesn't deserve that. ]

Hehe, I like to think so. I'm pretty fond of the super-hearing I picked up from Hypersonic, too.

Sure, as long as you can shut it off...

Oh yeah, absolutely. Naoto and I both got super-senses out of that and I don't think either of us could deal with it if we had to keep them on...
