   "Alright! Let's get started!" 
  
  Kyoko stood at the head of the table with a large sheet of paper spread across it. She'd 'appropriated' the paper from the art rooms earlier today, and had scribbled a few names and notes on it. She'd been acting rather secretive all day, and now took the chance to announce her idea to the group with all the intensity and drama she could muster.
  
   "You're probably wondering what this is all about..."  She paused letting the suspense hang in the air, before spinning around with a cheeky grin.  "Occult Research Club!" 
    Oh wait, only Asami is going to get that...  
   "Ah, but seriously, I thought we could all get together to try and find out what's going on here. With the dorm, and personas, and all that stuff, I mean."  Kyoko sounded a lot less confident actually explaining her plan, now her dramatic announcement was done.  "It's just that it always seems like everyone else knows what's going on except us. The instructors, Mr Levi... It just doesn't seem fair! So I thought perhaps we could work together and see what we could find out." 
  
  Kyoko looked at the assembled group; this really was not her style. She gave an embarrassed shrug, and just hoped that the others liked the idea.

conversations.value: Xhosant: Soga loved the idea. He had given things a lot of thought in the past months, and even found some things out... but he wasn't sure he could recall everything.   Sigh... 
  
  
  "All right, let's see what we know. Let's start with names and events. We'd better note the instructors, the older higher-ups, and that we were a branch of a bigger organisation. There's also the Shadow Hunters folks, who must have worked with our instructors before, and those two my team met on our last mission. Also, the, uh..."
  
   Shadow War? Shadowfall? Velvet Breach? 
  
  "... the invasion back when" , he decided eventually. He looked around at the others.

  Twitch.
  Asami breaks down in sputtering laughter when the name of the club is revealed, almost falling over from it.    She actually made use of that name for something?   "I love it.  This is excellent, I can't believe that was your plan!"   She takes a little while to recover enough to meaningfully contribute, but tries to hop in where Soga leaves off.   "Ah.  So, right then; the people my group were sent after during our first mission were initiates for a group called the Rainbow Knights.  I don't know anything about them, except that one of the initiates was named Aldon, and one of their higher-ups is named Halden.  We also know of Shadow Hunters named Sandra and Rebecca, and Sandra mentioned someone named Brian, who I assume is the leader for her particular group.  Sandra and Rebecca didn't seem to get along."   Asami gives a slight smirk when mentioning Sandra, but it morphs into a frown once she's finished talking.   "W- I was unaware of an invasion though.  What's the story with that?"

conversations.value: Xhosant: "Didn't you know? I guess they didn't mention it before. The main reason we don't leave the velvet world well enough alone, is that, once in a while, the shadows grow numerous and somehow slip through the cracks here. And since Personae are trickier to summon here, plus there's civilians and a scary amount of Shadows, things tend to go bad."
  
  "Last time that happened was on Professor Setros' time, that's our 'boss' and parent of some of our instructors. Things went bad."

conversations.value: banthesun: Wow, Soga knows a lot about this! Much more than I realised....  
   "Wait, invasion? Does this mean the shadows are, you know, aliens?" 
  
  Kyoko looked down at the diagram she'd made before hand. In the middle the words 'Velvet Door' were written in big letters, surrounded by other names: The four instructors, Levi, Shadows,  Cosplayers  Rainbow Knights, Lady Anabel, and Dark Hood Guy. A few lines connected some of the names, but most of the paper was still blank. Kyoko began rooting around in her bag.
  
   "Ah, here!"  She pulled out a set of coloured textas and passed them out.  "We can write down what we've figured out!"

   "An invasion, huh...?  That's the f-first I've heard of it.  Guess it makes sense, though." 
  
  She glances over Kyoko's diagram, and sighs.
  
   "S-sorry... I dunno if I really have anything to add right now.  I was too busy, um, adjusting to school life to pay too much attention to all the Persona stuff when I first came here.  I just destroy whatever Shadows they put in front of me... h-heheh."
