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.]

no subject
[He never really does, after all.]
It's nothing special. I just transferred high schools here.
[The fun and exciting life and times of a Persona protag...which Rise will see for herself in a few years, it's fine.]
Your reasons for being here are a little more exciting than that.
no subject
Doesn't sound so bad. I don't think I'll be here for very long but this is a nice place to start out before going somewhere else. [She looks pleased then.] I can't wait to start traveling more, you know? There are so many little places like this that I wouldn't have even thought of coming to...and if it means meeting nice people like you I think I can handle that. Inoue-san says that when the promotions and everything start there won't be a lot of downtime though.
[Which. Is exactly the reason she's out with Minato right now anyway. Who knows when she'll have to be pulled away?]
no subject
[Of course, he's traveled around a lot for lack of a place to live, but that's different. This will be Rise traveling around, seeing the world and showing off exactly what she can do.
It sounds exciting.]
You'll just have to do your best to dazzle people wherever you go, right? [The life of an idol sounds hard...but also thrilling.]
Hm... but that's probably true. I guess you won't have a lot of time, so we'd better slack off as much as we can right now.
[Minato???]
no subject
I don't know how to slack off that well. I've never had a reason to, and I've never really had a chance to spend time with people like this. But you can teach me, right? [There's another smile.] It sounds like a pretty important skill to have.
no subject
... Hm.
He has more tact than to just flat out ask that, instead nodding simply.]
I'll do my best to teach you how to slack off. I'm pretty good at it. [Thanks, Minato.] It's a skill you'll probably need, because I bet you'll be working hard as an idol.
cal im so sorry this is late, you're free to ignore it
Probably. Inoue-san's shown me the schedules for the next couple of weeks and it looks like a lot of work, but I don't mind so much as long as there is a little bit of downtime. [Like. An hour a week. Ah to be young and not burnt out yet.] Since I'm just starting I have to work extra hard, but I'll take all of the valuable skills I can get.
shhh ty you are always fine and welcome in my inbox
(It's a social linking evening, apparently.)]
Huh... you really will be working hard. [He's not interested in that life, thanks, Rise. He's satisfied with his own nonsense, he doesn't want to work even harder.
(Her work ethic is impressive, though.)]
In that case, I think we should have extra fun. [Which is why he's going to nod to the weirdo antiques store.] Have you ever been in a place like this?
no subject
Everything in our house is so modern and new. I think all of this would be so out of place. [But she's already leading the way, clearly invested in discovering new things. That's what this is about. Starting over. Starting new.] What do you think is great about something like this? [Even if Minato doesn't think it's great, she's interested to see how he responds anyway.]
no subject
It's just interesting. You never know what you'll find in a place like this.
[He'll open up the door for her, so she can poke around the antiques store--and true to form, there are all sorts of strange, bizarre and sparkly oddities.]
I feel like... it says a lot about the people who owned them before, too. Sort of like a way to get to know them, if that makes sense? [It's a sappy protag reason, but it's there, tone a little hushed in honor of the general atmosphere of the store.]
