hey, did that pet directory ever get made? there are at least four hamsters running around the observation deck. so far they're staying kind of close to me, but if they're yours, please come get them.

[Briefly, a video feed turns on. There sure are three hamsters sitting in front of Hajime, almost posing for the camera. The camera pans to show Hajime's incredulous, perpetually tired face, showing one hamster asleep on his shoulder.]

Whoa-! Wait, wait!!

[The camera pans back quickly to the three hamsters, except now they're all running for him. He lets out a yelp and the video feed turns off.]

I probably wouldn't be talented enough to go there, either.

[So like... don't feel bad, Hinata??? As for the question, well. Yes, kind of. He'd already found some people by realizing they all had Personas, but he wasn't exactly gonna advertise that to the whole station.]

There's nothing that stands out to me as something worth mentioning.

[hopefragment]

most people aren't. don't worry about it

[He... he probably wasn't worried about it?? Nobody else here on this station seems to care one way or another about talent, which is really damn surreal all on its own.]

i guess the only way you'll be able to find out if anyone here is from your same earth is process of elimination, then? or if you recognize them.

then again, it's not bad to get to meet people from all kinds of different perspectives. it can be pretty interesting.

[He'd love to see his friends again, but at the same time he's terrified of seeing his friends again, but he's gonna repress THAT thought right down and bottle it up, thank you very much.]

I guess we'll see with time. I agree though, it's been very interesting to meet a wide variety of different people from different worlds. It might be interesting to one day get people to talk about what their home worlds were like... though I'm not sure if anyone would know themselves what would be interesting to mention to others, considering what might feel like a norm to one might be unique to another.

yeah, you're right. i mean, i'm not really big into history, but who knows how many little things might be different between our worlds? what's that thing about a butterfly flapping its wings or something...

i guess it's something we can just try to figure out as we go, huh? add that to the list of mysteries to solve about this station

[foolishjourney]

Yeah. Butterfly effect, I think.

Who knows, maybe we'll find something that connects us all, if we take the time to map something out. Could be a key.

[hopefragment]

maybe. i wouldn't even know where to start with something like that... last time we tried to get everyone together for a meeting, some people brought weapons, and it mostly just turned into arguing about who was going to be in charge.

obviously we didn't reach any solid conclusions there

[foolishjourney]

Oh. Sounds like we don't have a very cooperative bunch around here, huh?
