[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!!!]

[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.]

[... Yeah, maybe his darling sister figure didn't have to deal with Junpei's man-posturing as much.

He supposes that's valid and plausible.

But also--]

I think you're scarier than I am. His self-preservation probably kicked in.

[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.]

I'm saying I could definitely see why Junpei would be smart enough not to cross you.

[It's a good thing!!!

...And totally legit, let's be real here.]

...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?]

[She's 2much]

But you're not happy about it?

[NOT HAPPY TO BE FIERCE... but spicy is fine?]

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.]

What do you want to be?

[Now he's just curious, honestly.]

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!
