Noriko said nothing as Keiichi approached the group, instead regarding him with a look of skepticism. Yeah, yeah, sure they all got the same phone calls but what the hell was going on here, anyways? Where were all the spooky monsters or whatever?

Glancing around at the others, she gave a simple shrug and redialed the number, holding the phone up to her ear tentatively.

For a moment, nothing happened, then her brows furrowed as she felt a sharp pain jolt through her head. It was vaguely similar to smacking her head against a sharp corner of a table or going for days without a cigarette. Except, you know, twice as bad.

She made a small face, one hand going up to cradle her forehead as she continued to hold the phone up to her ear. She supposed that, of course, she could have been hallucinating but it wasn't everyday that the air began to waver and then a bizarre looking thing with wings appeared in front of her. The creature looked female with blonde hair and clothed in a skimpy emerald outfit.

"I wasn't aware I was calling for Tinker Bell," she looked back to Keiichi, brows raised.

Renju was at an utter loss for words. This... thing was completely impossible, and yet she was looking straight at it. There was just no way...

Staring resolutely at her phone, she pressed her thumb to the redial button, and--

She stumbled and fell to her knees with a cry, clutching her head as white-hot pain lanced through it. When the worst of it had passed, she slowly lifted her head, only to find a tall, powerful man--like some stereotype of a Western god--standing in front of her, bearing a burning stalk of some plant she didn't recognize and with a deep, bloody wound in his side. "W-what the..."

"Those things," Keiichi stated, in what had to be a shockingly calm voice for the others, "are what are apparently called "Personas." They're part of us, somehow. We did a whole bunch of psychological research, most of it doesn't convince me. Regardless. As you've just found out, you summon them here by hitting redial on your cell phones. Don't ask me why, we don't know that yet either."

Ito-san nodded, and cast a glance in the direction of the school's star swordswoman. "If the pattern holds, she'll be getting her call pretty soon. If and when she does, we need to go. There's some sort of emergency back in the real world, and they've asked all the students back to the registration point."

He paused for a moment, as if trying to let it all soak in. "On the way back, I'll give you guys the short-form of the full story."

It was only a few moments more before Masami's cell phone rang, just as Keiichi had predicted. From having seen the what happened to the others, she already knew what would happen to her, but in spite of that she still checked the caller ID as if hoping it were some mundane, ordinary number.

Nothing. No name, no number. Of course. This was all so confusing, but Masami decided not to ask questions... for now at least. Taking a deep breath, Masami answered the phone.

Persona... was the only word she heard before the click of the other line hanging up.

"Well... here goes..." Masami said as she pressed redial on her phone.

Almost immediately she had to struggle to keep herself from screaming as the pain washed over her. It was tough, but through sheer force of will Masami was able to remain steady, though she did bring a hand to her forehead.

The air in front of her began to distort as a man in samurai armor appeared in front of her. He was holding two swords: one a katana, the other a wakizashi. The latter he gripped inverted-style.

The pain subsided, and she turned to Keiichi. "Ito-san, now that that's over with, I think we'd all like to hear this story of yours."

Seeing all that, Yuuto looked down to his phone. Yup, no caller ID. For a very short moment, he contemplated on whether he should even bother trying, seeing he already knew what was going to happen at this point. Still, he was curious...

"Might as well," he said as he hit redial on his phone.

There was a sharp pain, like a very bad headache, and Yuuto visibly flinched as a hand went up to cradle his forehead. When he managed to look up, he saw a large blue dragon, holding an orb (no, no, pearl, probably, like in those stories) in one of its claws.

Despite himself, he smiled a little.

"It's going to be a complicated story, I'm guessing?"

"As you may have figured out, I've already been through this. Mine is an Indian volcano god by the name of Agni."

Lord, it all still SOUNDED utterly ridiculous, but they'd just experienced it. Not like they could really deny it.

"There's a group of us who have this ability," Keiichi continued. "We have gone in here on multiple occasions. We don't quite know what's going on, but suffice it to say, we found both Oubai-san and Ishinomori-san in here. They both also have the ability. When in here, we fight these...things. Shadows. The personas seem to give us enhanced combat abilities. I, for example, can use...fire magic, as ridiculous as that sounds."

He continued to look at them, trying to read any signs of reaction or anything else. This was, after all, slightly traumatic.

"The full story is a bit more complicated than that, and you really should meet the group as a whole before we tell it...though I imagine Sonozaki-san and Sakuraba-san probably figured it out, they ran into us in the woods. For now, though, we need to go. The teachers are probably looking everywhere for us..."

The wounded apparition--Prometheus, something in her mind helpfully supplied--had dissipated, and Renju picked herself up unsteadily, brushing dust from her skirt. She really wasn't sure what to think. Her mind was busy, overwhelmed with what had happened here--it was just too much to completely process yet.

She'd save the quiet panic for the privacy of her room.

"This would explain Sagaki-senpai's 'anti-bullying club outreach program' story," she finally remarked quietly, slipping her phone back where she'd found it. "We should still have a few hours, though, shouldn't we, Ito-san? I thought we weren't due back till later this afternoon."

	Shaking his head, Keiichi frowned. "Something's come up. They're asking all students to report to registration. I don't know why, but I can't imagine it's anything good. If you guys have any further questions, ask them on the way back. Doesn't help us to get in trouble with the school." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There were too many questions.

Far too many questions, and Masami doubted that Keiichi would have all of the answers.

Her newly-awaked persona, which she somehow knew to call Yoshitsune, vanished. Masami took a moment to gather herself: panicking would accomplish nothing. Best to keep under control.

She wondered what had happened to cause the school to call all students in for registration, but if Keiichi didn't know, then for the moment she'd just have to wait to find out, like it or not. She decided for the moment to start with seeing what answers she could get about the place they were in and the personas herself, Renju, Yuuto, and Noriko had just gained.

"Ito-san, can you tell me what this place is? If you've been here a few times, you have to know something..."
