[Naoto switches on the feed, her face not showing any signs of emotion, she certainlly means business.]

Since I first arrived here, I have been checking out various places in and around the castle area, just to see if what people have said to be true. Although it would be impossible to be able to keep us here without people escaping, the information

[This is only working for him because the "reply" button is fairly easy to figure out. Orz being technologically impaired - the reply feed actually starts with a second or two of the 'Is this on?' quizzical stare.]

Depending on how this place functions, it's plausible for it to be very difficult to escape - I need to do check some things myself, but it seems to be an isolated realm unto its own. [At least, Belial didn't have a clue where the fuck they were, which was ... rare.]

I'm not sure where to start, since there's no telling what might be in common with someone else's world, but my name is Raidou Kuzunoha the Fourteenth, and I'm from the capital of Japan, in the year Taisho 20.

{{OOC for reference, though I know I flailed at it in chat: aka 1933. Normally that would be a "wait what" flag, since in real-world/most timelines the Taisho era only hit 15, but with the SMT games and spin-offs all existing in the same network of parallel timelines canonically... technically Raidou's games are the split-point between the main SMT verses proper, where the world goes boom in the 80's, and the Persona/Devil Summoner verses, where it ...doesn't...blow up.
Basically the events of the first Raidou game involve a conflict between groups from the main-SMT timeline trying to shove his "deviant" timeline back into their "proper" course, and some trying to PREVENT the normal SMT verses from happening. Since the Kuzunoha detective agency in the Persona games is run by a successor of Kyoji Kuzunoha, who is one of Raidou's colleagues, yeah, he's from her world's past.}}

I've been testing this place by simply going to the border and throwing some stones, just to see what happens. Apparently they end up in my room.

It appears we do come from a similar country, but the year is very much different. Thank you for this information, I'm sure that it will be useful in understand this place and you in the future.

[He nods.] Belial has said that this isn't any realm that he recognizes, nor can he sense way outside of it; it also seems like the planar structure I'm used to is collapsed - there isn't any Dark Realm, and even the usual thin veil that keeps normal people from seeing and interacting with demons usually is nonexistent.

What year are you from?

Dark Realm?

As for the year I'm from 2012.

Ah, it's - a realm overlaid on normal reality, and is normally where the majority of demons that "share" any given area reside. This place doesn't seem to have one ... but then, if it's more akin to a dimensional bubble or a fukurotsubo, it's not too surprising.

[He tilts his head thoughtfully at that.] It seems that I'm among the minority - most people here seem to be from something closer to your time period.

While it seems it would seem obvious that people would be along my time period, the amount of people from others makes me wonder even more about this place.
