[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.]

[... Elizabeth... now Minato's going to have nightmares of rabbit personas. Do they exist, do they not? He just doesn't know.]

Ah... I didn't do it as a request--you don't have to give me anything. I just thought you should enjoy the holiday too.

[It was a pure protag motive!!! It's okay, Liz!!]

[mindandmatter]

Oh, now that simply won't do. I, Elizabeth, am sworn to assist our chosen guest in any way possible!

[She casually pulls out her book from... who knows where, flipping through a series of pages until she finds the one she wants. It's glowing with an unearthly pastel light.]

Ah, here we go... Ahem. "Witness the rebirth of creation! From the light of the creator, I bring you the truth of the origin of all..." Eggy-dolaon!

[A massive orb of light descends from the sky, consuming everything before exploding in a plume of colorful lights.

In its place lies a really tasty looking chocolate egg. It has nuts on it.]

[messianic]

[That...sure what a thing. He's not sure about anything in the world anymore, but at least he got a chocolate egg out of it.

He blinks. And again.

Hesitantly reaches for it, because what if it explodes?

Eggydolaon, seriously?]

...Allow me to eggspress my eggspreciation.

[Why]

But honestly, thank you, Elizabeth-san.

[mindandmatter]

Maybe it would have been less delicious if you hadn't been stacking so many elemental immunities. Honestly, making me, Elizabeth, resort to such tactics? [She laughs quietly at a joke that wasn't really a joke and only she understands.]

Think nothing of it! The chicken comes before the egg, after all. .. Or does it? Is this one of those... paradigms? Paramedics? No, wait, paradoxes! ... Anyway, you're welcome. You've done plenty for me, so it's the least I, Elizabeth, can do.

[messianic]

[... Elizabeth... he's kind of nervous about eating it, but thankfully he has badass courage and thus is willing to do so.

But not right now.

Right now he'll just wrap it in foil and keep it.]

Well... would you like to enjoy the rest of the festivities with me?

[Elizabeth's always wanting to experience more human experiences, right?

This seems like a good place to start.]

[mindandmatter]

Truly, I, Elizabeth, thought you were never going to get around to asking. I would be delighted!

[messianic]

Sorry to keep you waiting, then.

[He seems more amused than anything, though.]

Have you ever gone egg hunting before?
