SECOND MACHINE: NEW [TEXT] EDITION

[ He's still not sure this is a good idea. However, it's something he's curious about. ]

I have a question or two, for everyone.

How many of you have recieved/awakened a Persona? How many of you haven't? I haven't awoken mine, yet. Are there people who would be willing to assist with awakening one?

Please let me know.

[ He has no idea how to persona, but this curious phenomena he saw means he's curious. And curious means network post. ]

[ A few minutes of deliberation. ]

Noon, at the arcade in Cancer Ward. Is that okay?

[ He knows where that is, at least, so. And he understands what an arcade is completely, now. ]

I will.

...Thank you for your concern.

The various methods seem to be natural and artificial - getting into danger and putting a special type of gun to your head. That's at least, what I've been told...

Understandable. ...I hadn't considered it, either, up to now.

That falls in line with what I've been told about them.

It's a pity that the two proven methods of awakening them are so unappealing. [She honestly can't justify putting herself in danger to gain access to a new power.]

Good luck, then.

...I dunno. Maybe you didn't feel in peril enough?

That's fine. I will see you then.

I agree.

[ This next part is sent separately, and privatized. ]

I'm looking into the artificial method, and seeing how it works. After all, if a modified gun can force out a persona, it's possible that one could make it work in a different design...

...Thank you.

I'll see you then.

[ The best idea? No. Doing it anyway? Yes. ]

[ At around 11:50 am the next day, Minato shows up at the arcade in question, hoping he's at the right spot. He's got his Evoker with him in its holster at his hip, but otherwise he'll be just milling about outside and waiting, listening to his music to pass the time. ]

It's certainly possible... if one completely understood the mechanics of an Evoker.

[ ooc: Aaaaand MONTHIATUS!!!!

Okay no

I left for a huge amount of time and I'm dropping a message to check if you want to continue this, just fluff the thing that happened here, or drop this thread altogether? Up to you. ]

[ I'd be happy to go along with whatever you'd prefer. c: I think playing it out would be fun, but I also am on hiatus right now and will be until probably Friday, so if you'd prefer to do something else that would be okay.

I must admit I'm curious about Ferrus. :3 ]

[ ooc: I think playing out would be fun, as well! I'll just tack a reply onto this post and you can run with it at your leisure.

also I am super complimented by that! Ferrus is probably going to be the most confusing S.Link Minato will ever manage to find but hey ]

[ It doesn't take Ferrus long to find his way to the arcade, but he still gets semi-lost: he's not used to the city's topography. That's why he's a tad late: 12:02pm. Obviously, this is a grievous error.

However... he never really got an idea of what Minato looked like.

W... hoops. He'll just stand awkwardly outside of the arcade, looking around. He's not yet noticed your evoker, Minato! Apologies. If you don't notice him, he'll... probably eventually come around. Eventually. ]

[ In his milling about, Minato watches others who approach the arcade. Though most people head right in, there's one person, arriving just a little after noon, who also lingers awkwardly. Minato watches him for a few moments before wondering if perhaps this is the one he promised to meet.

So, pausing his mp3 player and taking his headphones off, Minato meanders on over. In retrospect, he thinks maybe it was dumb not to exchange names or something, but there's no reason they can't do this now. ]

Hey. [ pause...... that hopefully isn't too awkward ] Um, are you here about Evokers?

[ Minato, it is a good thing you're observant - otherwise Ferrus might have. Gotten quite confused (and then remembered they exchanged no facts help).

How had Shura made this so easy, before?

Oh right she'd told him what she looked like

In any case, a Minato approaches! Have Ferrus reacting visibly with surprise. Unlike his appearance would indicate, his body says quite a bit more then a normal person's would. He settles into a much more neutral position after the other asks his question.

...A small pause. ]

... Yeah. A-are you the person I talked to?

[ it's... slightly awkward ffff ]

I believe so...

[ Minato smiles a little, unbothered by Ferrus' exaggerated body language or his ... not having a visible face with facial expressions! ]

My name is Minato Arisato. I'm sorry - I should have given you a name or a description or something before.

[ Well, that's good, because you wouldn't want to see his face! It's ugly! (More like just burnt. But hey.) ]

My name is Ferrus. ...A-and it's fine, really. It's my fault. I didn't ask.

[ He'd say it's a good thing they found each other anyway but Ferrus is no fountain of optimism

So he just lets there be a pause there ]

[ Minato shakes his head. ]

Both of us should have asked - but it's okay. We still found each other. [ But Minato is! He... kind of has to be. ~~It's in his contract.~~ ] It's nice to meet you, Ferrus.

[ AND I STALL AGAIN SORRY

Ferrus seems surprised the other takes his share of the blame, although he keeps blaming himself he's not about to argue with Minato over it. ]

I-I suppose.

It's nice to meet you, Minato. [ he might have a smidge of trouble pronouncing your name, there, but voxes help him duplicate that pronounciation perfectly. :) yay voxes ]

[ Minato smiles. It's still a little odd to be talking to a guy wearing a mask, but it's okay, and as far as Minato can tell, it seems like Ferrus is pretty emotional in his physical movements, anyway. ]

Why don't we go somewhere else, and you can see my Evoker? I think we might be in the way if we stay here.

[ Masks are super cool, okay. Besides, his face is not the prettiest thing to look at. The mask just... works better. He gives a nod at the other's offer.

... And of course, Minato manages to tint it in a way that makes Ferrus feel sort of bad for not realizing. People would wanna come through here, wouldn't they? ]

S-sure.

[ UM. ]

Do you have a place in mind?

[ he doesn't know anything about this area except the arcade... ]

Edited 2013-01-12 06:31 (UTC)

Yes. It's worth attempting, at least...

...Probably not.
