Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

It was really nice of Ringo to offer one of those but Maria would probably forget to train with it. That and people would start to make questions about why a kindergarten teacher would practice Kendo in the middle of the street. "Oh, don't worry I would most likely forget it anyway." That was not the true reason. She just couldn't accept a bokken from a high school student in the middle of the street. If she really wanted one she also could go buy one herself. She just didn't want to insult Ringo. "Do you perhaps know of any other places where they might be found. I know only a few though, maybe we could exchange information? Maria asked Ringo hoping to learn more about the locations of the Shadows.

"Oh, don't worry I would most likely forget it anyway." Ringo nodded and placed the bokken away back in the bag. He figured he found another kendo partner just like how he functioned as a tennis partner for Minako for awhile. Then again, he was in practice and she wasn't and she has other concerns he shouldn't weigh her down too much. "Do you perhaps know of any other places where they might be found. I know only a few though, maybe we could exchange information?"
"Right out in the terminal tunnel there is a safe zone at the end of it. Usually there is a strange blonde woman there. I don't know her name but she doesn't seem out to harm us. She tends to fill us in ongoings and she posts up jobs for us to do. I explored a bit of the west Mosiac Ruins, what remains of an old business district. The streets usually have shadows but the sewers seem to have more. Though it might've depended on the day." Ringo looked over at Maria. "That's all the information I got. I can't really push how much I explore given my lack of a Persona." He might as well ask. "Anything on your end?"

Maria already knew of the strange blond woman and of the terminal as her persona awakened there. She wanted to mention that, but it wouldn't be nice to threw it in his face that her persona awakened at first glance of shadows while his still hadn't awakened. The west Mosiac Ruins? however. She didn't knew about that, might be worth looking into. This was getting good. She listened to what he knew more. The sewers? Also a good lead, she might seek these out as well. She wished she knew some more about the shadows but alas everything he told was also everything she knew. "I am sorry I only got into this a few days ago, I only knew about the terminal but anything else was new to me. I also don't know any other places to look out too." She answered honestly. She really didn't knew anything else.

"I am sorry I only got into this a few days ago, I only knew about the terminal but anything else was new to me. I also don't know any other places to look out too." So she only awoken to her powers recently? Ringo was further lamenting his lack of power at the moment but at the very least he can take on a shadow...maybe a few at a time before he has to hide out for the rest of the day.
"I see..." Ringo placed a hand on his chin in thought for a moment. Should he introduce her to Holly? Holly isn't exactly the kind of lady you introduce to a kindergarten teacher. He can't exactly tell her to wait until the next full moon to maybe get the chance to meet everyone. "If you stick at that safe zone at the end of the tunnel, stick around, some persona users are more than willing to help. Ringo felt bad for all the sugar coating he is doing but this is the best way he can describe it.

Maria didn't want to sound ungrateful or anything but she didn't knew something the boy didn't already knew. She didn't actually knew any other persona users but maybe she should take this boy's advice and actually go look for more advanced persona users and learn from them. "Thank you very much. And sorry I didn't knew anything you didn't already knew." She apologized to Ringo. She really hated it, but it couldn't be helped only being awakened recently. "oh, wait I do know that these creatures can cause harm by using light and darkness for some reason. I don't know how it works, but it does work." Maria explained to the boy.

"Thank you very much. And sorry I didn't knew anything you didn't already knew." Ringo raised a hand to tell her that it was fine. He was just telling her what he knew. "Oh, wait I do know that these creatures can cause harm by using light and darkness for some reason. I don't know how it works, but it does work." Ringo pondered for a moment to think on what she is talking about before remembering the attacks from the reaper like shadow as well as the attacks from some of the other persona users.
"I think those are some kind of unique elements that some Personas and shadows can use. Their powers really are strange so..." Ringo pondered about them for a moment. "They aren't traditional elements like fire and ice so maybe there is a unique property to them." Ringo quickly dug through his bag and got up. "Let's trade numbers in case we get more information."
Maria listened to the explanation that each persona and shadow could use an unique element. It was true, her Pixie could harness the powers of the wind to hurt the shadows. "Yes, my persona can use wind to harm the harm the shadows. It could also heal my wound somehow." She told the boy. "I also remember them using certain attacks that looked similar of color to their mask. But I am not sure if it was coincidence or not." Maria tried to explain to Ringo. Maria took a her phone out her pocket to register Ringo's number and gave hers to Ringo. "Sure call me if you get something new." Maria said after giving her number to the boy.

"Yes, my persona can use wind to harm the harm the shadows. It could also heal my wound somehow." Ringo observed the Persona ability to heal. It was one of the reasons why he wasn't dead every time he encountered those unusually powerful shadows along with the other Persona users. He was still amazed he stayed conscious after that one barrage of attacks from the most recent of those shadows. "I also remember them using certain attacks that looked similar of color to their mask. But I am not sure if it was coincidence or not." Their masks due to seem to be important to those shadows. He wondered what they meant...they all seemed to have roman numerals carved on to them too. "Sure call me if you get something new."
"Sure thing." Ringo registered Maria's number into his phone. "Well I shouldn't be keeping you. I'll get back to trai..." Ringo's eyes wandered to the time displayed on his phone. He then shuddered when he remembered his empty fridge and right away took his bag from the ground and started to make a mad dash. Not before turning around and giving Maria one last frantic wave. "I'll see you around!" Ringo turned back forward and ran off into the distance.
"Alright" Maria said after registering Ringo's number. This would most likely be useful later. It was good to know she wasn't alone in this. That she wasn't becoming crazy. That there were other people discovering what she had discovered. As long as she wasn't alone she would be able to go on further. To help others go further as well. "Good, see you later Ringo!" Maria said as she went further towards her apartment. She really didn't knew what she was going to do there but she would clearly think over what she just heard and what she knew again. She might just use that number she just registered.
