[After a week of radio silence, Emil is broadcasting from his room. He’s without a hat today, horn visible through his blonde hair. He also gave up the contacts, showing his now red eyes. People who know him might notice he’s more subdued than usual, but then again he almost got murdered violently.]

You all heard about that mob incident in Vegas. Some of you probably have questions, so… here goes.

[A pause. He looks very serious.]

Yes, it was a lot like being in a zombie movie, except these guys weren’t rotting and they didn’t try to eat my brain. Also, little old ladies are strangely strong. Walkers are deadly weapons, it’s scary.

[Sigh.]

Anyway. The cultists are having a field day with this. I thought going back to Locke would get them off my back but they keep sending me these facebook messages. I think some of them are supposed to be encouraging but it’s just creepy as fuck:

”Face your true self.”

“You let us down you’re an asshole”. This guy spelled “you’re” wrong. Dick.

“Work harder exclamation mark exclamation mark. You’re a child of the shell exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark” and so on. Next.

”The great lobster is displeased”, “Sorry if I hit you” - huh, that’s nice actually - “That horn is really cute”, “Don’t be afraid just look inside”, “You owe me a new megaphone” - uh. [He looks away, sheepish.] This one has a point... anyway, you get the picture. I got like dozens of these. It’s really annoying.

[He rubs his eyes. Now it’s obvious he’s trying hard to keep up appearance.]

I dunno. There’s always a chance of outing yourself but I wish it was nicer than failed cult icon and “demon kid destroys a fountain.”

[And he turns off the video.]

Okay. It's just that this guy made a post about it a while ago and it made remember other-me knew someone else with the same power, so I figure it's something you should ask healers.

[orangehoodie]

Yeah. Different healers from different lives have different rules, apparently. But you don't have to worry about me and Nemesis or Matt and Titania. As long as we don't overuse our Persona, we'll be fine.

... Especially me. As long as I don't hit by "darkness" spells I won't even take much damage, whatever that is.

[abhero]

Your head robots have too many rules.

private

[orangehoodie]

They're Persona not head robots!

private

[abhero]

So they're head robots called Persona.

private

[orangehoodie]

Nemesis isn't a robot! [She looks like one.] Titania's a fairy!

private

[abhero]

Yeah, a fairy shaped robot.

private

[orangehoodie]

Why are you so stuck on them being robots???

private

[abhero]

Iunno, Orpheus and the creepy one with the coffin cape look like robots and giant robots are cool.

private

[orangehoodie]

Giant robots aren't a trend. They shouldn't be a trend.

private

[abhero]

They kinda are tho. I didn't count but we have a bunch. But that's okay, only you and Matt have ones in your heads so you're still special.

private

[orangehoodie]

I don't want to be special! But... I'm glad for it. We don't need a bunch of people with stuff like this, it's dangerous.

We've got weaknesses and I have a one-hit-kill spell. If someone who'll use this to hurt people had it, it'd be bad.
