Let's expand the boundaries of our conjectures. [OPEN]

[conjecture_this]

WHO: Nagi and whoever feels like sharing!
WHERE: Through your phone, through the internet, through Coba's craigslist, through bulletin board posts or just notes on the ground... wherever your character would come across a text/written post.
TIME: Day 4, morning.
DESCRIPTION:

[Sometime during the early hours of the morning, a bit of text pops up. How one sees it varies according to how they typically get texts but regardless the message is the same.]

I trust this message is not ill-timed. I am Nagi, lately arrived to this place as many of you are as well. I would ask for the assistance of those reading this then.

In order to form a more complete picture of this dimension, I would like to engage in the process of gathering information. Many new buildings have sprung up with our arrival and those that have seem to be influenced on the preferences and tastes of those here. Those who have experienced such, what buildings arrived from your own dimensions? Have you likewise experienced locations changing around you?

I would like to ask about time periods as well. It has become evident that there are those of you from times much more advanced than my own. If I may then, I would like to ask what year it is for you. For myself it is Taisho 20 or 1931.

If there is other information you wish to share or things you would like to ask others, I encourage such as well. Together we may be able to learn more about the exacts of this dimension.

Thank you.

Nor have I. In theory celebrations within my home town are much more... sedate.

[teethteethteeth]

It's the same for my hometown! Well, there's occasionally the boisterous celebration, but nothing on that scale!

[conjecture_this]

What is your town like, if I may ask.

[teethteethteeth]

It's Calmtown. Well, despite the name it's not always calm. There're a lot of supernaturals--it's one of the places where the angels settle us, see--and sometimes things get heated, but the angels keep order. But other than the occasional incident it's a really nice place! The people're friendly and kind. It's not that large, but we've got all the basic needs met.

[conjecture_this]

Angels?

[teethteethteeth]

Oh, yeah, they run the world. Apparently they decided humans weren't doing a good job and took over more than a century ago. They're pretty nice, though.

[conjecture_this]

What happened to the humans then?

[teethteethteeth]

They're still around, they just don't run the world anymore.

[conjecture_this]

Intriguing. That's certainly seems to be the opposite of my own dimension.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh? What's your dimension like?

[conjecture_this]

Within my own there are individuals known as Summoners. We form contracts with demons in order to gain their aid within and outside of fights. I believe among the ranks of those demons are ones typically considered to be angels as well, at least in terms of mythology and theology.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh, what're those contracts like? And it sounds like your world's quite different.

[conjecture_this]

Contracts are typically an agreement to share one's energy with the demon they contract with in order that they may use their abilities in the human world.

In theory it does seem so. This level of difference seems to be common. Others have spoken to me on the usage of persona within their own dimensions.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh! We have contracts like that, too, though they usually aren't for energy. Usually it's for a favor in exchange.

Persona?

[conjecture_this]

Oh! What sorts of favors?

Yes. As it has been explained to me, Persona are aspects of an individual they can call forth much as a Summoner would their demons, in theory at least. I haven't seen such in action.

[teethteethteeth]

It varies, but usually some magical thing the spirit doesn't know how to do. Or letting them do their thing in the world. Stuff like that.

Oh, that sounds really interesting! I hadn't heard of anything like those Persona.

[conjecture_this]

I had never heard of the concept before arriving here. It would seem we are all learning a great deal.

[teethteethteeth]

Other worlds're always full of surprises!
