[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.]

[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.]

At least we'll be able to help those people and make them happy, then!

[even if it's a joke.

it's also a statement of fact, because that's exactly what will happen anyway. it always does, that's why they've got such strong s.links.

they'll always get roped into helping people, and they'll always strengthen bonds because of it, right?]

Haha, perhaps I could if I had more free time! But no, I was merely taught since I was young, and I'm just upholding family tradition as well as daily routine.

[ Asougi looks around the dojo, musing. ]

I didn't get to convince the British government when I went on my exchange program to to keep my sword, so for that time, I had to try fencing instead. A respectable discipline, but one doesn't simply move from one sword style or another with ease. [ I mean unless you're this kid in front of him. ] It was a relief to have Karma back in my hands.

[they definitely get roped into a lot of silly things, but minako is ready to embrace every last thing. it's a lot of fun for her.]

Well, variety's the spice of life, right? I guess it'll be time to get pretty spicy, then!

[minako, pls.]

Um—

[ Immediately, she raises her voice a slight pitch, attempting to politely refuse him...

But he's off, crossing the street to push the button. A vehicle that had been about to turn in his path honks with agitation, driving off as soon as Minato is out of the way. People in Tokyo, man.

Despite the effort, however, the light shows no sign of changing. ]


I don't think it's going to work!

[ Shouting it across the walkway, Anri stands up on her toes, as if they can help strengthen her voice. ??? ]

Karashi renkon, huh?

[minato, what kind of ideas are going to be put in her head because of this.]

Maybe I should strive for spicier? Like fire noodles!

[minako, what.]

I think even if I was that spicy, nobody could burn Junpei like he burns himself.

[she loves junpei, but honestly. he sick burns himself whenever he opens his mouth.]

Oh...

[ This is terrible! Anri can't help but look genuinely crestfallen (inasmuch as she can even make an expression to begin with) when he posits that, although she had her suspicions. ]

I guess I can try again tomorrow. The store will be closing soon, anyway.

[ ... but, first! ]

Um.

[ A slight bow, her fringe briefly obscuring her eyeline. ]

Thank you for trying to help. It was kind of you.

Nope! He was just the best example I had for that one. I mean, something like that wouldn't really work with Mitsuru-senpai, right?

[sick burns don't work on the icy cold executioner and all.]

[that's probably for the better. neither of them needs to deal with an execution today—but minako thinks she's made her point anyway, in that regard.]

I think he'll be fine. He's gotten pretty good at saying the right things! [with her, anyway. but he's a bro, so maybe that's to be expected.

besides, it's probably easier to let yukari deal with his bullshit when he's being a moron anyway.]

[come on, minato. she's not that scary, probably! which... is why she's pouting, just a little.

okay.

maybe she's a little scary, huh?]


Are you saying that I'm scary?

[she's a menace.]
orphean: (pic#2807995)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-04-18 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well, I guess you have a point there.

[she can forgive him for the statement, but she's not at full brightness yet.

why is she like this?]
orphean: (XXI: The World ↵ Surprise)

[personal profile] orphean 2017-04-19 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm okay with it. I just don't think I want to be scary!

[that would be the worst. fierce is fine, though.]

[personal profile] orphean 2017-04-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

[this requires very intense thought.

(no it doesn't.)]


You those candies that start off kind of intense but then they're really sweet and tasty after like, a minute? Something like that, I think!
