WHO: Zoe, Open.
WHERE: Some fairly public area on the school lawn.
WHEN: July 22nd, late afternoon.
WHY: Because we all need to thread more~ Because origami is a very social activity.

Zoe had meant to do her homework, really she had. Classes had just let out, and rather than going back to her dorm, she'd opted to go sit under a tree in the school yard and finish up her work there. It wasn't terribly practical - it lacked a desk, for one - but it was pretty.

So pretty that after staring at her Trig assignment for a minute, she'd quickly gotten bored and distracted and was now enjoying the summer afternoon while she tried to fold a perfect origami crane with some of the specialty paper she always kept in her folder.

As she worked, she thought, as she often tended to do. The business of Persona and demons and people from 1934 was confusing and exciting all at once. Her preliminary probing into the mailboxes had unearthed some things (like that blowhard Bianchessi, but he was fun to egg on), but had also added even more questions. Why did they have Persona, too? Was there a connection between the demons appearing now and the demons back then?

And why couldn't she find any further information on the people who'd responded? An exhaustive Internet search had turned up nothing on Locrine Whittle, Theodore Bianchessi, Abigail O'Connor, Nina Eckstein, and Millie Pierce. Her only definitive clue was that they must all be students at Adessi like herself and the others. But what was it about the school that allowed for magic mailboxes (the logic of which she wasn't going to think too hard about right now, because why look a perfectly useful tool in the...she may have mixed metaphors there)?

Looking back at her work, she saw that she'd creased a line too early in her distraction and now the bird was crooked. Frowning, she tossed it aside and got out more paper. She wasn't going to stop until she'd done it right.
