Ah... oh. Hello. [The young woman's voice sounds uncertain but curious.] Wow... Sorry. I think my head is still spinning from all of this. I feel like I'm so far from home.

[Though she supposes... she is. New York was pretty far from Japan.]

I don't really understand what's going on but I do know they must be wrong about me. I'm no demigod. And if I am, it would be helpful if they could at least tell me who I'm suppose to be related to.

[She feels more lost as she speaks. She can't feel her Personas presences, which distresses her on its own. And she doesn't know anything about Greek gods or demigods or speaking English or...]

Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Yukiko Amagi. I guess I'm not the only one with all these questions, huh?

It can be! Especially on the day of a big match! [He laughs heartily, with some pride in his voice.] Hell, even the training's fun, if you know how to make it that way!

Hey, don't worry about it! Those are great sports too. I probably would've joined the soccer team, if I had more time. Are you in any clubs, Amagi?

[That is sad! :( Aki likes swimming too. There should be a Hot Springs Club...]

Really? Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You should come back sometime. I hope you got to try out some of the food places on the strip. Hagakure has great ramen, and there's this beef bowl restaurant too...

[Pfffft. She kinda snorts at his enthusiasm. It was just kind of enduring... and it reminded her way too much of Chie.]

Oh, me? No, I'm not... See, my family runs an inn in town and after school I usually go straight there to help out. [Or investigate ~*murders*~ but since that was solved... yes. Inn training it is.] I plan to take over it someday as manager when I'm old enough.

[Yukiko would even know how to run a Hot Springs Club!]

We did eat at a small restaurant that Rise-chan recommend... I don't remember what the name of it was.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[And they both have a steak obsession, to boot…]

Wow! Really? [He sounds impressed!] Heh, most people our age don’t have their future careers planned out at this point. Did you always know you were gonna take over the inn?

You know, if they just provided some fresh meat and other ingredients, we could make our own ramen and everything right here. I don’t think the meals are balanced enough as they are, anyway.

[fandancing]

[Expect a laughing fit when she makes that connection, to be sure.]

Sort of... It's a long story. The important thing is that I made the decision to do it all by myself. [Whether it had been set in stone or not... she had chosen to do it and that's what mattered to her.]

That's a really good idea. Do you think we could ask for it? Or... maybe go into the city and find something? It's New York City, right? I'm sure they'd have something like that. [She didn't know much about the United States let alone New York City but... surely they'd have basic ingredients for ramen.]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Unseen to her, he smiles in encouragement. She might be able to hear it in his voice.] Of course! If you don’t feel passion for what you wanna do, then it’s not the right choice. You have to put your whole heart and soul into it!

Well, I can ask Chiron, but I doubt the gods’ll let us leave camp. That’s what the monsters are there for – to keep us in here. I think I’ve heard of pizza being mentioned as a New York specialty, but hey, if they have ramen, I’d be up for trying it out!
