Oh. No--that was Constellation. OTO is a group from here, Constellation was imPorts.

Wish it was as easy as one group.

[chainlinks]

Ahh I think I get it now.

[Confusing, but understandable. He's still new.]

It would be easier wouldn't it....

[He almost writes "someone like Shido" but then realizes, considering...he's going to skip that part.]

Did you gain any fighting powers, or were you just determined to save someone? Either way, I'm sure I'd have done the same.

[codeoracle]

Mm. No new powers I just...wanted to save him. I didn't really think about it at the time, about what would happen to me...

[chainlinks]

That's very heroic of you, Futaba.

[No question, but this is important.]

I'd say 'also really stupid, don't do that again' but we're the same age now so I can't pull the 'I'm older' card.

[codeoracle]

[She's very grateful that texting means no one can see how red her face is. Heroic? Her?]

You're still our leader right? Don't worry I'm not planning on trying that again any time soon...Unless someone gets into stupid levels of trouble.

[chainlinks]

You guys can call be Baby Joker in that case...just kidding.

[Futaba, please.]

Well in that case, we will 100% need to be stupid forever. That way if we get stuck in the same hospital room we can at least trade monsters or complain about hospital food. :)

[codeoracle]

Nope, you said it and it is happening. I'm telling the group chat.

[No. She really will. What have you done?]

Obviously the only solution. It got kind of boring when I was in there alone--even when everyone visited.

[chainlinks]

I would like to unsubscribe.

[He should have known it's pointless to make jokes around the gremlin, as it will come and bite him back.]

Good. Then let's make sure that we both make stupid decisions TOGETHER.

[codeoracle]

Can't. We removed that feature.

[Let her troll. It is her one true joy in life.]

I like this plan. Unity in stupidity.

Uhm. What else were you told exactly? Because there are some things you should probably know.

[chainlinks]

Of course you'd hack that out. Fine. Have them call me Baby, I will wear it as a badge of pride.

[But then get a little serious again.]

Akechi told me you were half siblings. Uh...I apparently stole a kiss from Yusuke once? Dooku left. The Phantom Thieves have a few enemies. Adachi is another Persona user...

[codeoracle]

Changing your display name as we speak.

[No, not really. But she is so going to make him check.]

Oh. Oh, they gave you the whole premier then. That helps us avoid a lot of back story. Did you have the chance to meet Adachi yet? He's like...a derpy dad.

Don't worry about the whole "enemies" bit. We've had worse.

[chainlinks]

Do you mean here, or home?

[Cause, really, Ren can do enemies.]

Sorry, they kinda spoilered the really important parts.

I haven't, no. I would say having an adult Persona user sounds a little bizarre, but Haru and Akechi technically are, aren't they? So by law it cannot be considered weird.

[codeoracle]

Both? Both.

[Insert eldorado.gif]

Someone had to do it. At least you know the important parts.

It's still weird. Haru and Goro are exceptions. They didn't start as adults.

[chainlinks]

It's true. Between the four of you and the amount of alcohol, I was able to get a semi-clear picture.

That's fair. So I guess I can call him weird when I do meet him. ;) What is he like, apart from being derpy?

[codeoracle]

Why am I not surprised that alcohol played a part in that?

Please do. The reaction will be hilarious. He's earnest, means well. He had mistakes back home he wanted to atone for.

[chainlinks]

Well, I'm not surprised. Ohya-san was like that too...

Sounds a little like Akechi, if we're being honest.

...do you think me calling him Akechi is annoying? I'm not...used to calling him Goro yet.

[codeoracle]

Ohya---The reporter. [Took her a second.]

They are definitely alike in some ways.

I wouldn't worry about calling him that. He wouldn't expect you to be too familiar since you're Ren, not Akira. It took us a while too. I think I was quicker about it, but there were special circumstances.

[chainlinks]

In a way, I'm almost glad we don't have the same names. I don't know if it's wrong to think that, but at least you won't have to worry knowing who was who.

Right. I think considering, it makes even more sense for you.

[TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!]

What are your powers here? Anything new that you didn't have back home?

[codeoracle]

[She sees that subject change and runs with it. She knows when to let things go. And the whole port-in/port-out topic was heavy enough as it is.]

I can control technology. Technomancy. It makes hacking easier, but it doesn't exactly help with fights most of the time. Unless I hack a battle droid or something.

And I have something called the Hermit Confidant. It's reliant on connections I have with others to unlock some of my abilities. I'm not too certain how that one works, just that it was in my file when I came here.

[chainlinks]

That sounds extremely useful...even not for fighting.

[Wow, that's...interesting.]

Hermit is what you were to me back home. Did I ever tell you about that?

[codeoracle]

It can have some fun results. I stole a droid from the Death Star. It doesn't do much though.

[You know. In case you see a box-shaped not!Roomba running around.]

Nope. Huh, maybe that's why I got that ability here. It's how it translated from our world.

Backdated to the 18th

[chainlinks]

[With Yusuke gone, Ren feels a little less enthusiastic about everything but this is important! So Futaba will get one message on her phone;]

Come to local cat petting zoo served with caffeine drinks if you want asskicking a special surprise.

- Joker

[codeoracle]

[As if Futaba could, or would, consider ignoring a message from Joker. She is, of course immediately going to meet up with him. Which is how she finds herself currently surrounded by cats. And wanting to adopt all of them.

[Delivery]

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Riza's next stop was the "gremlin," as dad called her; the one that always smelled like sweet treats. She only had a note and some bank information for her, and let out a sad noise to get her attention before giving it to her. She nudged her hand, before taking off for the next part of her journey: ]

Hey, kiddo.

If you're reading this, I didn't get to say a proper goodbye.

Sorry about that. I would have at least given you a big hug if I could have.

The cave outside of Heropa is all yours. I was planning to start something big, so I hope you can use what I put together.

-Adachi

[ If she decides to go to the cave, she'll find that Adachi has done some Work, with one of the far walls taken up by a massive computer system, decked out with scanning equipment on the questionable side of legal. One of the other walls has a large pin board on it, listing in detail multiple targets Adachi had investigated for work, but the law hadn't done anything against them. ]
