<div align="center">(http://images.wikia.com/megamitensei/images/f/f9/P4-InabaMap.jpg)</div><br/><div align="center">After the events of P4.....<br/>Setting Location;  Inaba, Japan<br/>Current Date;  June 5, 2018<br/>School year begins in August 5th, 2018.</div><br/><em>Seven years after the murders of several peoples in Inaba took place, and peace has returned to Inaba, Japan.  A lot has changed however during those seven years, the least of which is the reopening of the mines that helped put Inaba on the map originally during its initial founding.  Instead of coal being dug up, (although that is still brought to the surface when it's found,) gold is now the major source of income for the small community, breathing new life that not even Junes can put down despite still being the major source of all things commercial here in town.  The shopping district has been reborn with several new places opened up, giving new life to Inaba and her residents.  (Hint hint.)  The important thing here however, is telling what happened to those that helped make our current successes possible despite most of the true story still being hidden behind the fog that used to roll in like clockwork during the murders that were taking place here in town, starting with Yosuke Hanamura.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Yosuke Hanamura</span> - After the events that took place in Inaba, Yosuke stayed to help run Junes until his father retired a year ago, giving control of the Inaba branch to his son.  Yosuke stepped up to the plate despite still being a bit of a goof around his friends, (which he holds dear even now with the murders over and done with,) and he runs the place with a fair yet firm demeanor to employees while maintaining a busy college day, going for his Major in business to help further his chances of making Junes and the shopping district a far better place for all.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Chie Satonaka</span> - After the serial murder case that ended with the arrest of one corrupt young cop, Chie shortly afterward took on the role of a detective in training under Ryotaro Dojima of the Inaba Police.  Finishing school with high marks and following in her chosen path, Chie is a promising young cop that the town of Inaba can be proud of.  Despite being unable to use her power as a Persona user in this world, she still possesses great strength and skill learned from her time traveling with her best friends that she uses to help bring down any criminals she comes into contact with.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Kanji Tatsumi</span> - Despite being the former bully around Inaba, Kanji straightened himself out when the murders started up and he was rescued by the group responsible for bringing in the guy that causing them all.  The old saying that opposites attract seems to have held true since he and Naoto Shirogane married just last year, the former 'biker' leader finding the courage to admit what he felt for the Detective 'Prince'(sess).  In an even more surprising turn, Naoto said yes after some convincing from their old group of friends.  He now currently runs his grandmother's textile shop, the old woman finally passing just a couple years ago.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Naoto Shiorgane</span> - Her involvement in the case helped find and capture the true villain behind the whole thing, but not before almost tossing a 'mostly' innocent man behind bars after finding him in the other world with Nanako in tow.  Saving the innocent youngster and helping to defeat the powered up and partly insane delivery man that had been kidnapping everyone no thanks to Dojima's former partner who was the real one responsible for all the trouble, Naoto no longer hid who she truly was from the other officers who thought for the longest time she was a he.  Not only that, but she ended up marrying Kanji of all people, just proving the fact that opposites truly do attract.  She currently is a true officer of the law and not just a detective, following in her dead parents' footsteps while making her own along the way.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Rise Kijikawa</span> - Rise, AKA, Risette, is back in showbiz but not as her former personality as a teen pop idol.  Instead, she's gotten her own talk show where even without her Persona skills as an analyst, she is still able to help people with whatever problems they come to her with despite her own young age.  Even with her busy schedule, Rise still finds the time to come to Inaba almost weekly to hang out with her old crew of friends during the serial murders that almost took her own life along with all of her friends.  She still visits Teddie in the other world from time to time as well, where while he might be forever stuck since the end of the case, is very happy to still have friends that care for him.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Yukiko Amagi</span> - Yukiko indeed inherited her family's inn two years ago after finishing school, and went on to marry Yu Narukami, (the protagonist,) just last year three months after Kanji and Nauto's own.  The happy couple runs the Amagi Inn together, Yu having decided to stay in Inaba with his own parents' blessings although his old friends back in the city were crushed at losing the man in such a manner.  The couple have a baby girl to their name that bears the same name of Dojima's deceased wife.  Eva Amagi is currently one year old.</em>(My personal favorite of the lot thus far.   ;D.  I couldn't find Dojima's former wife's name so made up my own.)<br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_u">Teddie</span> - Despite being stuck in the Midnight Channel world, Teddie is back in business as guardian of the old world where his friends from the human world still come to visit him as often as they can.  The world he once knew has returned to its peaceful origins, becoming a beautiful place that is safe to visit anytime of the year, foggy on our side or not.  Still, it does get 'beary' lonely, but with newcomers coming in the form of new friends and new family to his old friends, Teddie is a very happy bear that still possesses his Persona, just like all the rest of his friends, and uses its power to keep the few remaining Shadows in check if they ever decide to rise up to cause problems.</em><br/><br/>It was five years ago to the day that gold had been discovered in the old Inaba mines quite by accident really.  A company bought the mines and reopened it after discovering the precious ore in its depths.  Gold isn't the only thing that was found, but it was what was most abundant among the diamonds and other precious metals that we use in our buildings and other items of the same.  Because of the new increase in work for the small farming community that sits on a flood plain, Inaba was given a major boost to its population as well as increasing the size of the small town almost to twice its original size in the years of the mine's reopening.  Junes still controls most of what goes in and out of Inaba, but the Central Shopping District has gained new life, most of the stores that had shut down before having opened once again.  Not only that, but a new college has opened up, and while it's not ready for classes until the end of this year's summer, the fact that Inaba has its own college says much for how much the small town has changed.  Regardless of how much things have changed though, Inaba is still a rustic town that caters to a very peaceful and nice community of people for the most part.  While there still isn't much to do out here, it's a relaxing little slice of heaven that even city slickers find joy in visiting, at least for a while.<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>((I ask that everyone follow my example.  Thanks a ton!))<br/><br/><strong>Abigail 'Abbs' Takeda.<br/>Location; Samagawa Flood Plain.<br/>Time; Mid afternoon<br/>Tagged;  Anyone.</strong><br/><br/>The moonlight colored hair woman of only 23 years of age sighed heavily, not wanting to go home since her mother and father were there most likely, ready to throw a wooden practice sword her way as they often did before trying to beat her down into submission if she didn't defend herself.  They might be divorced, but they still ran the family Dojo together that had moved from Tokyo to Inaba before they had stopped loving each other when she was still a child.  Regardless, looking up at the cloudy skies that had descended upon the flood plain earlier that morning, Abigail's ocean blue eyes were filled with a deep sadness that she hid well from others, but when she was alone as she was now, she let fall the mask she had constructed to keep others off the trail on how far her pain went.  Wearing a beautiful blue dress and matching blue skirt, a brown laptop bag hanging off of her right arm and a regular brown backpack hanging off of her shoulders, Abigail continued her silent trek through the Samagawa Flood Plain, needing the solitude to ready herself for the trials that awaited her at home.  Unless someone came along, she'd be heading home, but something stopped her.  A flash of light and a gilded floating blue door appeared on her right side, yet a passing couple paid it absolutely no mind.  Hesitantly putting her hand to the door, Abigail found the door to be 'real', at least to her, and pulled it opened.  A flash of light engulfed the Shinkendo student, leaving no trace of door or woman to say she had ever been there.....
