[Look, he's a Persona protag. So maybe you're having some difficulty with something--anything from looking for something to dropping things to carrying groceries and who knows what else--and after a moment of observing, he has to come over, hands tucked into his pocket and voice quiet, to ask:]

Is there anything I can help with?

[Protags gotta protag, after all; he just wants to be useful, okay!!!]

b

[Alternatively, he also seems to always find himself in these situations and can't seem to say no.... which is a life skill that would probably benefit him to learn but one he will never quite manage. HE...TRIED....

Probably.

But it's almost Easter and that's why he was dragged into helping with an easter egg hunt, wearing a stupid-ass costume complete with bunny ears and looking very puzzled about it (if you can tell beneath the lineface).

He's also, more importantly, kind of struggling to juggle all of the eggs he's supposed to be painting while more are dumped onto him by other overworked volunteers, and with paint on his face and hands and a paintbrush in his mouth as backup while he tries to paint colorful designs on one of the many eggs in his hands, he...

... Probably has bitten off more than he can chew.

Help.]


c

[if you want to see him shoot himself in the head make up a battle prompt or just tell me and i'll come up with one, it'll be Fun.]

wildcard

[Come up with your own prompt or consider one of these OR WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY.]

Oh, no. I already have my regimen of practice before the dawn of each morning, followed by a shower then calligraphy... This is practice for the sake of... fun. [ Re-arranging his schedule for the day is no trouble for such a sincere kid. ]

It may be old-fashioned, but I still believe in the soul of our Japanese heritage being within our blades. But I suppose it's because I had mine to inherit from my forefathers and it remains in pristine condition.

[ Asougi supposes that's a bit of a tangent, since he just said they weren't using actual swords, and laughs. ]

Now then, shall we head to the dojo?

[Shirts are overrated. Motochika shrugs as if to say "suit yourself" before he actually starts making his way further into the beach sand. There's a bunch of other scattered materials there...

he's claimed this little patch for himself apparently....]


Nah?

Guys?

Whatever ya like, I guess... Never have been able to tell with you....

[vaguely concerned big bro mumbling]

Someone else had to have given 'im the talk right.

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you're right...

[he's got a point!]

Maybe I should just be a were-clown-taxes bunny instead.
orphean: (XX: Judgment ↵ Grin)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if I should tone it down. I don't want to be too scary... there's no point if there's no competition!

[y'know, unless:]

Maybe you should dress up as a vampire-clown-taxes hamster!

[minako wtf.]
orphean: (V: The Hierophant ↵ Wink)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well... we've got a few months! We can find some by then—we can take a shopping trip!

[nailed it.]

Lunch would be my treat.

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good to me! At least we'll be ready... in six months!

[friend dates are acceptable dates, especially when there's food involved. what better reason to hang out, right?

you know, one that doesn't involve painting eggs in an effort to amuse small children.]
deporteure: (support; heh)

[personal profile] deporteure 2017-03-31 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[ Nothing wrong with Minato's small quantity of words! If anything, Asougi sometimes worried he wasn't talking the poor child's ears off whenever he got passionate about something. Saying only what needs to be said is respectable. Saying more than what needs to be said can be embarrassing. ]

Do you do regular exercise in any other form, Arisato-kun?
deporteure: (support; /A Look)

[personal profile] deporteure 2017-03-31 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to indulge me, you know.

[ There's an observational hum here, wondering about whether Minato will protest. Asougi's frowning, but it's in a teasing manner. ]

Going on a run around the city would be perfectly fine if that's what you prefer.
orphean: (V: The Hierophant ↵ Wink)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[it's fine, they're doing a fine job of painting these eggs anyway—it'll be done in no time at this rate, anyway.]

Maybe we really should start getting a six month jump on all holidays. Prep for Christmas in June, and Valentine's Day in August! We'd be pretty unstoppable that way.

[this is so stupid, why are they like this... why do people consider them the leaders?]
deporteure: (lobby; smile)

[personal profile] deporteure 2017-03-31 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods contentedly. Asougi's not sure how obvious he's being, but he'd like this to be as relaxing for Minato as it is for himself. ]

Very well.

[ As the two arrive at the dojo that Asougi frequented, the man removed his ever-fluttering headband (and with that, it stopped its witchcraft for the time being), and put his sword to the side. He shakes his head with a grin. ]

Everyone's least favorite part, getting the uniform on. Don't forget to stretch before we begin. [ Just gotta casually senpai every moment of the way. ]
orphean: (XV: The Devil ↵ Smile)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we probably could have done that anyway, but it sounds a lot more fun this way.

[logic, they totally have it. whatever, holidays are good and now they're gonna be ready for All of Them.]
orphean: (V: The Hierophant ↵ Wink)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-03-31 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
At least now we'll never be unprepared for another holiday!

[and therefore not decorating eggs right before they're supposed to be hidden.

but it's fine, she's still having fun with it anyway, so it's not like it's a big deal.]
