2nd Pokeball - A Completely Ridiculous Inquiry

[unbroken_chain]

When the feed snaps on, it reveals Kotoha, sitting calmly in a chair. She fiddles with the bow at the back of her neck for a few seconds before launching into a spiel.

"Hi, my name's Kotoha, and I have a question."

There's slight hint of urgency in her voice, and her blue eyes are intense as she leans forward slightly to ask her question.

"Why is everyone so pretty?"

...wait what.

"Is it, like, a requirement? 'You must be this sexy to save the world'? I mean, I know I'm pretty, but I've met people here that rank right up there with Elesa, and she's a supermodel."

She leans back and drums her heels against the floor.

"It's not fair! How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm constantly distracted like this?!"

She bounces to her feet at that and starts pacing, letting out a little growl of frustration.

"Urrrrr! Stupid teenage hormones!"

Kotoha blinks.

"Well, yeah, but we've already established that you don't pay any attention to your own looks, so it's perfectly reasonable that you don't pay attention to other people, either."

A pause as she tilts her head to the side.

"Which, you know, is kind of a pity, because there are plenty of people that would fall all over themselves for a body like yours."

...Yes, I'm quite aware.

[She'd have to be an idiot not to have noticed that the boys were sneaking around during the JP's health exam. She just doesn't care.]

Well it's nice to know that you're not completely unaware. Kotoha notices your expression and becomes a little curious.

"If being attractive is so annoying to you, why do you dress so sexy? Tight silk dresses that show off all your curves only encourage people to look, you know."

It's hardly my fault if they can't control their baser impulses.

Kotoha pauses. That's an evasion if she's ever heard one, but frankly she knows better than to press. Time for a subject change!

"I guess so. Good thing I never made a pass at you, huh?"

Video

[terminally_clever]

I'm a little old for you anyway, even if I was interested. Which I'm not.

Kotoha grins.

"Yeah, eighteen is my cutoff point. Saves a lot of trouble that way."

[terminally_clever]

That aside, what you need is a suitable distraction. Find a project to work on.

[unbroken_chain]

She ponders this advice for a bit.

"Well, I did want to learn more about my Persona...and I need to work on my tactics with the rest of my team, too..."

Video

[terminally_clever]

So do that instead, then.

[unbroken_chain]

"Yeah, that's a good idea! When do you wanna do this?"

Notice how she is blithely assuming you're coming with her.

[terminally_clever]

How did I get involved in this plan?

[unbroken_chain]

"Friends do things together, of course!"

She's grinning now.

"And besides, don't you want to see what my team's capable of?"

[terminally_clever]

[Fumi sighs.]

I have to admit I am curious. They remind me of the demons from my own world, but I get the feeling they're not quite the same.

[unbroken_chain]

Still grinning. Not even Fumi's iron wall can resist Kotoha's charm!

"Great! I'll swing by your place after business hours are over in a couple of days and we can head out!"

[terminally_clever]

...All right.

[HOW DO YOU PEOPLE]
