[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.]

Comments

[messianic]

... No, I've never tried.

[So here this small cute girl is far more intense than he is, and that's probably how it should be.]

You must be really skilled, though, if you've known all your life.

[constellates]

Mm.... maybe a little? Thank you for saying so. [she hums a happy little note before giggling]

But I do not get to practice a lot. So I worry that I am not as good as before.

[messianic]

[He tilts his head thoughtfully at that, but he thinks it does explain a lot.]

Is that why you're here now? To practice?

[Makes sense, he thinks.... unless Anya's taking up a career in this.]

[constellates]

Да. [she nods, but it's also definitely to take up a career??? For Sure] Other times it is too busy to get too practice? Ah, a lot of hustle bustle.

[though there's a tilt of her head]

Is that why you are here, Minato?

[who has time for honorifics not anya]

[messianic]

[Sure??? Sure.]

Oh, me...? No, I just hadn't been in here before, so I was curious.

[So he walked right on in, that's the kind of thing he does.]

I'm glad I did now, though. I feel like I've learned something today. [That cute girl idols are terrifying mostly]

[constellates]

[truer words have never been spoken

but

also]

You can still learn more? Учат! Anya can help teach if you want to learn guns.

[messianic]

[...Well.

Well. Honestly?]

If you don't mind teaching, I'd like that.

[Minato being Minato, apparently. Now he has a cute idol girl who teaches guns social link]

It'd be nice to learn from someone so competent.

[constellates]

Competent? Ah that is... someone who is good at it? [She needs to decode, but she's still laughing and preening under the praise.] You are being too nice to Anya.

Cпасибо! Thank you. It will be nice to teach someone who is so kind.

[is that how that

sure

ok]

[messianic]

Right.

[Oh......... right, simpler words, right? He just makes a mental note to himself; it's only natural when she's probably bi- or even trilingual.]

Ah... I think I'm the one who should be saying "thank you". [Was that what she said..."thank you"...] You're doing me a big favor, after all.
