I can't Sleep
You were transported like the others to a dreamlike dimension where you were all sat in a room. This had happened when you were asleep or something. You are trying to process what just happened when a woman enters the room holding a clipboard. She is focused on checking off a list, a list. What is happening?
“Justice, check.”
“Hanged Man, check.”
“Moon, check.”
“Death, check.”
"Chariot, check."
"The High Priestess, check."
"The Empress, check."
"The fool, check."
"The Devil, Check."
"The Tower, check.:
The woman smiled, seeing as they would be getting the full order of Persona Users today. This specially made her happy, since her master would be pleased. The woman looked up at you and the others from her clipboard. She gave a warm smile.
“Sorry for the sudden pull,” the woman apologized, “but my master wishes to speak with you urgently.” She then gestured to the strange man sitting behind a desk who had his hands resting on the desk.
“Ah, it is about time we met face to face,” the man said and grinned, “allow me to introduce myself, I am Igor, servant of Philemon. This is my assistant Ruth.” Ruth waved to you and the others.
“Now, you are probably wondering where you are, you are in the Velvet Room,” Igor explained, “the place that exists between dreams and reality.” He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts and for others to process what he was saying. Ruth brought out refreshments to you and the others
“Oh, they are not staying for long Ruth,” Igor chuckled, “they haven’t even awakened their Persona’s yet.” He was saying the word Persona casually like you knew what it meant.
Igor then looked at everyone, “Where are my manners, I did not even explain what a Persona is. A Persona is a physical manifestation of your inner psyche. You will use it on your journey to fight shadows.” Igor knew the confusion that these people held. They will find out.
A paper contract appeared in front of you and the others to sign. It stated that you would be responsible for your growth and development in exchange for the opportunity to defend yourself against threats. If any of them chose to sign it, then the paper would disappear. Igor would glance at the group from time to time to see if they are done. After a while, he clasped his hands together and smiled.
“Very good, those that did not sign will be escorted back to the human world,” Igor told them, “Those that chose to stay, I have something important to tell you. Your world is in danger currently, on the verge of collapse due to dark forces at play.” He was relatively neutral about everything, despite what he was saying. Igor glanced at the clock and noticed that their time was up. The man smirked, knowing that he would see them again and was looking forward to seeing their progress. Igor was sure that they would not disappoint him or Philemon.
Ruth was bummed that they had to go already but she did notice the time. The woman heaved a sigh as she was forced to watch the Persona Users leave. They better be back here and not dead. "You all better not be shadow chow," Ruth said to them and took her leave.
“I bid you all farewell,” Igor said to them, “we will meet again when you awaken your Persona’s, for now, go back to your mortal realm and prepare for the day of Judgement.”

Angel Island was operating as normal, as people were hurrying to their jobs or school. Although, it was not going to be normal for long as a man screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran into the crowd of people. The man was grasping for breath, struggling to stand up straight as he grabbed a woman's shoulder. The man drooled, causing the woman to push him off of her and run away in fear. Eventually Davenport security forces apprehended the man. "Nothing to see here," an officer said to everyone walking by.
"Yeah right," Maki said to him, "you know that you are really bad at hiding things, right? Guess I will just need to snap a photo of you." The officer glared at her and unholstered his baton, "last warning Maki...I mean it, if you or any of your stupid group- HEY!"
Maki already snapped a photo of them and took off running. The officer chased after her as he was yelling at her to stop, of course she did not listen and kept running. Maki turned into an alleyway in an attempt to lose him and make it to a restaurant. There she could blend in with the other people and escape. Unluckily though, the officer was gaining on her and would catch up to her in a matter of seconds. Maki had to do something, right now! She quickly ran into some random restaurant and bolted into the back room to go change into waiter clothing.
