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

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.
no subject
... ... ... Minato sighs.]
It's better than her hiding behind you, right?
[If it makes her seem more energetic and happy, he will gladly get his ass kicked in video games]
no subject
It means she's starting to trust you a little bit.
Of course, it also means she'll have bragging rights over you for the rest of eternity.
[you win some, you lose some. . .]
no subject
For now, though, he considers that pros and cons list.
Hm.........]
... I guess it's worth it.
[...]
Probably.
[Eh....]
I figure if she's that good, she's probably beaten most people, so I'll be in good company.
no subject
She hasn't beaten me.
[. . . at Power Instinct]
no subject
Right.
I said I'd be in good company.
no subject
Ouch.
You two are going to get along just fine.
no subject
I hope so. It'd be nice to get along a bit better with your teammates as well.
[After all, they're important.]
It's exciting to get to know more Persona users.
no subject
I had no idea there were so many of us. . .
Maybe we should have a get-together sometime.
[all of them. Akira's team, and Minato's team]
no subject
That sounds really chaotic.
[But honestly? To him, it also sounds...]
It'd be fun. We should do it.
[Ha....ha ha.... maybe someday Akira will get a few of them, at least.]
When things are less crazy.
no subject
[maybe he'll meet all of future SEES some day?? MAYBE THEN THEY'LL HAVE A PARTY. . .]
[while Minato embraces his life as a doorstop :(]
