a
[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.]

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

[leaning against the counter again, hands slipping into the pockets of his apron]
Human relationships are all too complicated to be synthesized into a simple ranking system. But for purposes of the Velvet Room. . .
[ehn]
[it works]
no subject
[ehhh... they try.]
Well, I suppose at least we're able to meet more people and help them, when it matters.
[Even if it's still weird.]
That's what really counts.
no subject
I bet you'd make a good phantom thief.
[he says casually. it isn't a specific invitation to join them, since he knows Minato has to put his own team and his explorations of Tartarus first, but. he really would be an excellent addition to the Phantom Thieves]
no subject
Minato blinks, but then he smiles a little, shaking his head.]
I don't know about that. I'm not very sneaky.
[Just cheesily sincere.]
Besides... I can leave that sort of thing to you, so it's fine. I'm not worried at all.
[Akira and his team will fight their fight, and Minato and his team will fight theirs. It works fine.]
no subject
Neither is Skull, honestly.
[who is Skull? but he laughs]
You shouldn't be. And I'm not too worried, either. But. . . [shrugs] If you ever need a helping hand, I bet I could convince my team to throw yours a lifeline.
[he's got ur back protag buddy]
no subject
... I appreciate it. And... I'll hold you to that.
[If they ever get into some shit they can't handle, then...well, Minato knows where to find Akira. As for Minato, presuming he's managed to retrieve his phone from Futaba's grubby hands--]
Here--we should exchange phone numbers. The same's true for you, too, you know.
If you guys ever need anything...we're not that far away. We can watch each other's backs.
no subject
[pulls out his SUPER FANCY SMARTPHONE]
I guess with that model, you don't have the Chat App. But you can still text, right?
no subject
Some of us are orphans and can't afford fancy new phones from the future.]
Yeah, texting is fine.
[A casual nod here, as if he isn't 100% outdated!!]
That'd probably be an easier way to communicate than hoping one of us falls into Mementos or Tartarus.
no subject
Twice as easy, only half as fun.
[he says with a bit of amused airiness]
no subject
... Hm.
[Akira...................]
I never thought of Tartarus as fun before... but if you had fun, maybe it is...
[Don't roll with the deadpan so easily, Minato]
no subject
Who doesn't have fun while they're being shot in the face by a Shadow tank?
no subject
You didn't even get to meet one of the tower guardians.
[IT'LL BE
F U N]
no subject
If normal Shadows are tanks, then tower guardians are. . .
Fighter jets?
[this logic makes sense in his head]
no subject
No.
[Just...no.
He doesn't even have anything witty to add.
Just.
Nah.]
Actually, the last one was swords.
[just the swords]
no subject
Just swords? Were they. . . floating in the air?
no subject
[...]
Just arms, though. They kind of just...stuck out of the floor.
[?????? Weird.]
... I never really thought about it being strange, but now that I talk about it... [why are Shadows so weird]
no subject
It's just a delayed reaction.
[nods sagely]
no subject
... Right.
[OH WELL.... This isn't even going into the full moon shadows, though Akira would probably actually understand those better considering his own boss fights and how freaky those are too.]
I'm still glad they can't talk, though.
[negotiating and hold ups sound like a pain in the ass.]
no subject
[except that makes killing them kind of ???]
Sometimes they say useful things.
[plus, money. and rare items]
no subject
Hm... I guess so...
It just seems more complicated, somehow.
[He definitely doesn't envy you that, okay...]
Are they still... humanity's negativity manifested?
[Because they talk tho]
no subject
Humanity's repressed emotion given shape in the cognitive world. It's why they take the form of popular monsters and gods from mythology.
no subject
He still doesn't get it at all, he thinks.]
I see...
[Hmm... oh well, it's probably not a big deal!!]
Maybe it's just location... [Maybe that's the only reason why they're different, like how animals are different in different places??] I guess it doesn't really matter.
no subject
I could sit here and theorize all day, but then the curry would get cold.
[ha]
And that'd be a shame.
no subject
Minato nods peacefully, accepting that.]
Shadows aren't a very fun lunch conversation anyway. There are probably better options.
no subject
[NO DON'T]
Or how badly Futaba is about to kick your butt at video games.
