I guess this is a second introduction. Mostly because I just joined the Perimeter Guard. So, I'm Makoto Yuuki, I was the leader of S.E.E.S. at Gekkoukan High School, a specialized combat squad.

I'll be glad to give an example of my skills but it's really not for the faint of heart. I know that anyone who goes into combat though should have an idea of what to expect from me and my Persona's.

[Yu knows how S.E.E.S worked.]

So, ah, I guess this is an invitation to meet my new coworkers?

[j.snow is a young man with dark hair and a beard; he sounds English, but he isn't. Today he's wearing an ordinary dark t-shirt that doesn't carry any implications about where he comes from.

His expression is serious, but friendly.]

I'm in the Perimeter Guard. What will you be doing there?

[fatedcontract]

[Well, hello sir. Makoto manages a careful smile.]

So far, nothing specialized. I guess that means a little bit of everything? I'm a student at the university as well so I didn't want to overwhelm myself.

[northerndragon]

I'm not specialized either.

I was a soldier once too, though -- at home. What sort of combat did S.E.E.S. do?

[fatedcontract]

We were dedicated to exploring a tower called Tartarus and fighting creatures called Shadows. Eventually evolving to the point where we were trying to prevent the Fall.

[northerndragon]

The fall of what?

And what were these creatures called Shadows like?

[Shadows, White Walkers, the Wall, a tower called Tartarus... he wonders how many similarities there really might be, and his interest shows in his face. There's always a chance he might learn something that will help his people in the years to come.]

[fatedcontract]

It was just called the Fall but it would have wiped out all human life. Humans have forgotten the joy of living, so they were subconsciously calling to Nyx to bring about the end.

Shadows are a little harder to explain. They looked like all sorts of things but they fed on, I suppose, the consciousness of people who couldn't defend themselves against them.

[Makoto would be pretty interested in the similarities too, actually.]

[northerndragon]

[He nods slowly, looking thoughtful.]

Shadows... they were magic? And this Nyx was the same?

[fatedcontract]

Yeah, basically. You had to have a Persona to fight either. And be able to function in the Dark Hour which-

[Huh]

There is no Dark Hour here, I realized.
