network [ voice ]

[bufus]

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Mitsuru Kirijo, though I believe I've spoken to at least a handful of you already. Still, it seems polite to introduce myself to those of you I haven't yet spoken with.

[ Her voice is rather formal and proper. Almost as though she were addressing a board at a business meeting. In truth, that wasn't too far off from how she was looking at things here. ]

Since my arrival I've been given a great deal of information and I must admit it was quite a lot to sort through. [ Her voice sounds a bit lighter there, with a hint of a smile hidden in her tone. ] Now that I've had sufficient time to organize my thoughts, I do have a few requests I'd like to make. [ She pauses. ]

To start with, I'd like a map of this place. I have not been here nearly as long as others, so perhaps someone else has something already started that I'm unware of. In that case, I would be more than happy to worth together to see what we can put together. I've been working on my own to compile as much as I can. I...have certain unique abilities that allow me to navigate, though I'm afraid it's much more limited than that of some. [ She pauses for a moment. ] I'm afraid I'm also not much of an artist, so I might require some help transferring my rough notes into something more clear.

[ After a brief pause she gets straight back to business. ] Abilities are another thing I thought we might organize more efficiently. From what I've taken note of there are numerous people here with unique abilities that might prove useful in various situations. I see no purpose in keeping secrets in a place like this, so I am more than willing to discuss my own. More importantly though, I am interested in cataloguing your abilities.

I will be at the Historium for another few hours for those that would feel more comfortable speaking in person. Thank you very much for your time.

[ ooc: if you'd like to meet her in person, feel free to just go straight to action in your comment. She's set up in the back of the Historium at a table that seems to have been purposely picked to obscure her from immediate view. ]

Comments

[ He smiled a little at the comment, yes it seemed as though Shinjiro was the sort to brush off and deny the assistance he offered was no big deal. Even if it really had been at the time… It made it hard to dislike him, even with his slightly gruff nature. ]

But at the mention of her team’s leader shared that odd trait as well? He found himself rather intrigued by the notion. ] It would seem our leaders both share several odd similarities. We have never worked out why that was either, but… Perhaps there’s a connection. [ But, as she said, they trusted him explicitly and often moved on when he was ready to head into a palace or mementos. So it had been nothing more than an odd curiosity. That was hard to not notice when they waited to begin. ] Likewise, it’s always before we’ve moved to enter mementos or a palace as well. He’s very focused once we’re inside.

[ Her question gets a small shake of his head. ] We haven’t discovered much more than I’ve stated, I’m afraid. One could presume for power or status of some sort, for a start… But whatever reason there is, I confess I too found it quite deplorable. We are hoping to find out more as we continue, to put an end to it as well, if we can.

Perhaps we'll get the chance to ask them both sometime. [ Either here or back in their own world. Though from what she understood they wouldn't remember this upon their return. The strangest part however seemed to be how similar the two leaders were. It lead to her wondering what precisely caused the similarity. Was it perhaps something to do with how they got their abilities?

She shook her head and frowned even more. Who knew that was possible? ] How could one not find something like that deplorable? Only someone truly depraved would do that to others for something such as power or status. [ Disgusting. ]

I hope you're able to put a stop to whomever it is that's doing this. I wish I could offer my aid. [ But obviously that was impossible. It was pretty terrible to think these things were going on without her knowledge. ]

[bufubulous]

I hope that we may, here or in our own worlds. [ Although, Yusuke was rather hoping for sooner rather than later. The fact that he was missing his friends might have been a factory, of course, but Mitsuru could probably understand that herself.

But he offered a nod in return to her frown. ] In my experience, the world is full of such abhorrent adults, doing what they please for their own gain… But thank you, the thought is appreciated regardless of your ability to assist. Likewise, if I were aware of this strange hour and situation in our world that seems tied yet so different from our own, I would have wanted to offer help as well- undoubtedly most of my group would.

[ It was a shame they wouldn’t be able to help each other out, given they wouldn’t have any knowledge of these things when they went back. There was no telling how much knowledge or experience they could benefit from having the other involved in some way. ]

But I suppose we’re also have our work cut out for us in this world, and we can hopefully work together during our time here.

[ and on that note, his eyes drifted back to the map. This was definitely a project worth working on. ]
