[It's a cloudy mid-morning on THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, and the town is bustling as always. Many people are quite excited about the second batch of new arrivals; though they're not getting quite the celebration the first round got, they still might find themselves being greeted by bizarrely friendly folk.

Out of place is a number of geese scattered around town, each with their own little messenger bag packed full of rolled up parchment. They're putting the papers up all over, on fence posts and market stalls and storefronts, even stuffing them into mailboxes and leaving them on benches. Each paper is nearly identical, with large, blocky font and the occasional inky feather mark.

LOST
SEVERAL ITEMS OF GREAT IMPORT

SOMEONE HAS STOLEN FROM OUR HOMES THE FOLLOWING THINGS

ONE GOOSE-SIZED NIGHT CAP
THREE TEACUPS (PINK AND YELLOW FISH PRINT)
EXACTLY SEVEN AND A QUARTER LEFT SOCKS
AN APPLE CRUMBLE

IF FOUND PLEASE CONTACT
ADELICIA VON FARTHINGTON (THE FIFTH)
AT THE NORTH BANK OF THE LAKE

If stopped, the geese will be more than happy to talk at great length about how terrible this all is. Strangely, there appear to be a few other people and animals poking around as though looking for something, or acting a bit sullen for such an otherwise joyful day.]

... During out discussion, I have been considering alternate universes. Being here and seeing people form other worlds could suggest that much. It's possible that events in the past resulted in Demon Summoning as opposed to Personas.

[jonathandammit]

Alternate universes...? [w-what...] Events in the past... do you mean there could be time-travel involved?

[HEY RAIDOUS! HAHA REMEMBER THE TIME YOU ZAPPED BACK TO THE EARLY 20th CENTURY?]

[pishirogane]

Considering how gods and demons will play, it's possible.

[Oh Raidous...]

[jonathandammit]

[...okay then]

I suppose some may do so when events reach a point they cannot be mended... [Blasted and Infernal Tokyo? ehhhhhh]

But doesn't that need the power to create a completely new world to splinter off?

[pishirogane]

It may, and it may not. The dying alternative could give the energy required to the line that survived. [She looks towards her books]

It would be a curious exploration in a science fiction novel.

[jonathandammit]

[That sounds bad. Uh.

Also...] What's science fiction?

[pishirogane]

Right. Science fiction is a genre. That means a book or movie focuses around science-oriented themes such as technology or space travel, but consists of imaginative elements. It can have some relation to current existing technologies, but goes beyond what's capable.

WHEN DID THIS HIT 100+

[jonathandammit]

[What's a genre

What's a movie

Space??? What's space

?????????]

...I'm... sorry, I didn't catch that at all. [M-moving on...]

Idk!

[pishirogane]

[... They have quite a bit of work to do.]

Perhaps next time. I've told you a great deal today.

truly amazing

[jonathandammit]

That's true... should I take my leave? I wouldn't want to intrude on your hospitality any longer than you permit.

[pishirogane]

You can stay longer if you would like, but you may want to return to Marchen if you haven't found housing yet.

[jonathandammit]

[...Oh yeah. Housing. Basic necessities. That thing.]

I think I'll return to Marchen. It's been good to be here, though.

[pishirogane]

[She nodded]

Very well. Take a horse. It will come back on its own after you're back in town.

[jonathandammit]

[REALLY???- cough, he means...]

Thank you very much. I hope you'll have a good day.

[pishirogane]

You as well, Jonathan-san. Take care.
