SECOND MACHINE: NEW [TEXT] EDITION

[technomaturgist]

[ 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. ]

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.

[technomaturgist]

[ 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 ]

[fools_journey]

[ 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.

[technomaturgist]

[ 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 ]

[fools_journey]

[ 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.

[technomaturgist]

[ 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... ]

[fools_journey]

There's an open area out of the way nearby - a former parking lot or something. I'm not sure, but it's usually pretty open. Come on.

[ He leads the way! But to be honest, he didn't meant to make Ferrus feel bad in the slightest, instead intending only to ease them into moving to a better location. ]</small.

throws up hands i keep forgetting i didn't tagback yet

[technomaturgist]

[ He... unfortunately can get the bad feels about himself easily. It's okay, Minato. ]

Alright.

[ LET'S GO, MINATO! Pchoooooo--

Once they get there, he's going to just wait for Minato to talk. :|c ]

c: It's okay

[fools_journey]

[ Once they're there, Minato is quiet for a moment while he glances around, but then he turns to Ferrus and pulls out his Evoker and holds it out so Ferrus can see. ]

Ah... this is my Evoker. Would you rather examine it or see a demonstration first?
