... We'll need to prepare ourselves. Weapons, healing items... I think, Kurusu-san, I'd also appreciate a rundown on those Shadows. The Shadows I'm used to dealing with didn't need to have their masks ripped off.
[well, that was easy. then again, it was easy with Ann, Ryuji and Morgana, too. but those three had sounded way more enthused about it, and the relatively cool response (from Minato in particular) does leave him a bit uncertain that they're really okay with it]
[even so. . . he'll do his best. and so Akira suck in a deep breath, shoulders sagging as he exhales]
I'm not injured. But speaking of, do either of you have a Dia spell?
[and speaking of weapons! Tama-chan has meandered off to a nearby vending machine and is now pawing at it insistently. nya]
[Souji will find. . . . . a vending machine full of weapons! yay! they're real weapons, too. none of that fake shit Akira deals with. ONLY THE REAL DEAL, HERE]
[Tama parks herself at the base of the machine and washes her paw]
All right. We'll be counting on you-- [a beat] Arisato?
[also mentally placing Minato at the top of the "do not get killed and always protect" list]
[. . . there's really not any hesitation in the way he chooses Minato's given name over his family one. because sure, Arisato (and even Seta, come to think of it) would've maintained a certain amount of distance. but Akira always preferred to drop formalities for a more comfortable address. and while he still held his heart close to his chest, the days of approaching everyone with wariness and mistrust were (sort of) over]
[so. Minato it is. and Souji, too]
If there are vending machines with weapons, think there are some with equipment and battle items?
Minato hits some buttons on the vending machine, and ends up with... an armful of weapons. (How much was that bill...? (10,000 yen, it's fine)).
They're just starter weapons, but for now, it'll do; he offers the sword to Souji and the dagger to Akira and keeps a shorter sword for himself, and has to admit ruefully:]
[it’s fine, protags are used to handling a lot of money. Akira flips the dagger adeptly in his hand to test the weight. it isn’t his usual weapon, but it’ll do]

no subject
... You seem more familiar with these sorts of Shadows than we are. We'll need your guidance with this.
no subject
[giving the two of them a somewhat confused expression]
Your Shadows were different?
[huh]
[his gaze flickers between the two, before he dips his fingers into his pockets and shrugs]
. . . I don't mind taking the lead on this one if you two don't. Is that okay?
no subject
But it's fine with me. I'll follow your lead.
no subject
Less effort for him, so.]
Whatever's fine.
We've got to find weapons first, right? Is anyone injured?
no subject
[even so. . . he'll do his best. and so Akira suck in a deep breath, shoulders sagging as he exhales]

[and speaking of weapons! Tama-chan has meandered off to a nearby vending machine and is now pawing at it insistently. nya]
no subject
[ Oops. But he's heading over to the vending machine because Souji is always going to be distracted by Cat. ]
no subject
I have Salvation. I can heal us.
[So they're pretty set with any injuries, so long as Minato's not the one dying.]
no subject
[Tama parks herself at the base of the machine and washes her paw]

[also mentally placing Minato at the top of the "do not get killed and always protect" list]
no subject
... Hey, guys?
[ calling out. ] The vending machines have weapons.
no subject
[... Mind.
......... Weapons?
Minato's intrigued by that--he moves that way, tilting his head.]
Huh, really? That's convenient.
no subject

no subject
Souji eyes the vending machine thoughtfully, then nods. ]
It's entirely possible. Maybe we should see what else we can find first before we... throw ourselves into the fray again. It's better to be prepared.
no subject
Anyway, Minato's just patting his pockets for some...yen... he finally fishes out a bill and sticks it into the vending machine.
And, at large to the room:]
What kind of weapon do you use?
no subject
A combat dagger and a handgun.
[ah]
no subject
[ eh. He's got some cash left over from buying his ticket. ]
no subject
Minato hits some buttons on the vending machine, and ends up with... an armful of weapons. (How much was that bill...? (10,000 yen, it's fine)).
They're just starter weapons, but for now, it'll do; he offers the sword to Souji and the dagger to Akira and keeps a shorter sword for himself, and has to admit ruefully:]
I couldn't afford the gun, sorry, Kurusu-san.
no subject
We’ll come back for it later.
[a pause, and he squints at Minato]
. . . and just Akira is fine.
no subject
Thanks. I'll cover the healing items.
no subject
Sounds good to me. Akira it is, then.
[No problems here!! He's easy. What next?]
no subject
I'll cover equipment, when we find that vending machine.
For now, let's get some rest. I don't think that train is going anywhere anytime soon.
no subject
[ meeting adjourned? ]
no subject
WE DID IT, GUYS.
Minato's going to go take a nap.]
no subject
[time to jump the both of them separately and in private like a good kouhai]
