[Call a stranger, tell a stranger a difficult Retrospec memory, tell a stranger a memory you've never shared before.]

Hello, I'm Shouto Todoroki.

Can we talk?

[ Picking up the phone from this number is a mistake. Don't be fooled.

Either way, Akira is caaaaaaaaaaalllllinngggg. Considering Akira never calls/texts anyone first in canon, this should be a blessing (or a bad omen in disguise). ]

Goro
Goro.
Akira's your damn crush, isn't he?

So did you know Yu Narukami actually hates cats?

[ so I heard you like spam ]

Good afternoon, Mr. Akechi! Have you been feeling unhappy with life lately? Got a problem that needs solving? A task that needs doing? Well, today's your lucky day! Your friendly neighborhood god is on the case!

I'm here to grant you one wish. My services are fast and reliable! And wow wow wow!! You're double lucky!! Because today we have a bingo promotion: my only fee is your sincere and undying belief in me, your loving god Yato. ❤

if i had to pick a person to be mistaken for my boyfriend, it would be you.

Goro. It's been a few days.

I hope you are okay. I can only imagine how rough things are for you right now.

Please come back in one piece.

you said you would rescue me, but when there was a spider in my bathroom you were nowhere to be found.

i hope you're doing all right. please hold on a little longer. we're on the way to rescue you, sweet prince. then when all of this is over we can have coffee, maybe finish the Dusk series, and sneak around at night again. maybe we can catch some fireflies at night if you don't mind the mosquito bites by now. sounds great, right?

also, you can kill the spider in my bathroom. Morrigan usually deals with them, but he's been listless lately. i guess he noticed something is missing, too.

by the way, don't do anything too dumb. it must sound hypocritical coming from me, but that's not the point. stay safe.

[sent around the beginning of the event-]

Hey Goro, are you getting this?
Hold down the fort, I'm in the jungle right now.
Promise I'll get rent in time.
Don't die.

[And a couple of days later-]

I know you definitely didn't ask, but lizard meat is delicious.
And burns hurt a lot more than you'd think, so avoid those.

[Sometime around 8/14]

We found a temple. You can add grave robbing to the list of things that make me a delinquent.
Turns out that I'm smarter than Midas. I'll try not to turn you into gold.
My battery's starting to die, so I'll see you soon.
I hope you guys are holding up alright back at home. Maybe you'll be an expert monster hunter by the time I get back.
Maybe things have been normal for weeks now.
Maybe you're all fifty years old at this point due to time space displacement or something.
Go check on Akira for me.
And uh, hang in there.

good evening, Go-chan. i hope this message (eventually?) finds you well.
the group of people i'm with has some familiar faces, including the ice cream peddler i mentioned.
he also asked me to marry him after i demonstrated the powers i received at the convention.
i told him to wait until i was thirty and he agreed, so i believe i may be engaged now?
it is a very strange turn of events.
regardless, through some inventive thinking, we have managed to escape the room (a doctor's office) we were trapped in.
there is another door here (we are in a waiting room now), however it will not open.
very curious.
regardless, i am safe, so worry not.

Boy, is Silver there with you?
You didn't help him skip town, right?
Are you there?
This is Elda Marker, you best respond to me.
I know I just saw you on the bus the other day.

I'm sorry about the other day. Retrospec assigned us to some strange groups about dealing with some huge storm thing that threw you guys into "unreality" or something like that. It all sounds like some hooie to me, but if that'sWhat it takes, I'll handle it. Well, we. I've been assigned to some team called Brandywine.
We're looking for a library to find some security fellow called Baroque. We've able to talk with Maurice.
Honestly, it's all nonsense to me. I just need Silver and Toushiro back. There's a good forty other missing people though, including you. We're all working on that over here.

So you stay safe too, Goro. Elizabeth'll invite you to my party.

[ backdated bc heyyyyyyy

So........ They've decided to go to one of the city's animal shelters—Elizabeth is allergic to cats, so they've naturally decided to start with non-felids. Look at this little shih tzu puppy she's got in her lap, it is adorable.

She also has something very important to ask him that she meant to before— ]

Are you planning on seducing anyone with your new userpic, Akechi?

Either way, I appreciate your vote of confidence, or lackthereof.

[ this very unfortunate misfire is from the first part of his text back to akira......... ]

[The following is a letter delivered by hand to your character's mailbox, because Minako doesn't trust this message will be delivered in one piece if she sends it via Retrospec this month.]

Hello!

I'm messaging you today to invite you to a gathering for Persona users, as well as those who believe they may be connected to Persona users. Given that the number of our group seems to have grown recently, I believe it is important to offer support and solidarity, especially given the recent findings after everything that happened in August. This gathering is also meant to start the foundations of a Persona user network that we can continue to rely on in the future. So to those who attended the first gathering: I hope to see you at this one as well!

However, to those who are hearing from me for the first time-- there is absolutely no obligation to attend. If you feel uncomfortable with the idea of sharing your status as a Persona user with others, simply do not come to the meeting, and Yukiko and I will assume that you do not want to reveal yourself. Your secret will be safe with us. I promise.

The meeting will be held on Saturday, September 16th, at 7pm in the Recollé Tribunal Terrace Community Center, 3F Staff Room. Dinner will be provided, and if enough people show interest, after the meeting we will go to a remote area of Peach Beach for sparring and power demonstrations.

Please feel free to send any questions you may have by texting me at XXX-XXX-XXXX or on Retrospec.

Sincerely,

Minako Arisato

hey, hope your algebra class goes well. i'll talk to you later <3

[ Akira had a good amount of time to think about this and decided on the best course of action. As much as he thinks this would benefit from being there in person, the bubbles prove to be... unfavorable. Plus, he has to prepare for Team Absinthe's party, so he's calling as he closes shop to set everything up for shindig.

Already nervous, he wonders if he should wait till after the part... Whatever, he already dialed. ]

Hey, Goro. I hope you're not too busy right now since I wanted to talk.

This might be rather forward of me to ask, but you and Akira... are you two actually dating?

and so it turns out that crab feed cannot substitute for furikake in a moment of mixed desperation and curiosity.

goro

GORO!

I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON SOMETHING!

i didn't know you were also a nude model.

[ now he waits to see if there's a bomb that will explode. ]

[ some time in the midst of this ]

so. you and akira, huh?

help I'm worrying 😥

[ was this really a trick... ]

I, Akira Kurusu, a master of the silver tongue, purveyor of the time honored arts, a man who defies expectations, entreat you swipe right. My talents include knowing the right thing to say at the most opportune time, and I am certain to leave your heart aflame.

My passions include graphic designs, and wordsmithery (or puns, whichever you prefer).

I am certain to be a lover like no other.

(Written by Franklin M. Brewer for Akira Kurusu's use.)

Akechi, now that we're settled in
would you like to assist me in pranking Silver?
as a sort of hazing thing, for our new apartment.
