Hello everyone! ＼（＾∀＾） I hope you've all settled in well!

My name's Minako Arisato. I've talked to a few of you already, but for everyone else, it's nice to meet you!

Now that things have calmed down a little I was wondering - how many of us were Persona-users before coming to Hinoto-ri? I think it might be good to meet and compare notes if we haven't yet, see what's the same and what's changed. And maybe we could also make a list of people with experience who can help with answering questions or training, or things like that! Just jumping into using a Persona can be pretty daunting...

For everyone else - what do you usually do for fun? Some of the things I like are music, volleyball, cooking... If we have enough people who like the same things, maybe we could even form a club! I wouldn't mind having someone to play volleyball with again. Or to go out to karaoke! (ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪

Anyway, that's all for now!

[added private text to Shinjiro]

Can I come over later?

... Mitsuru-senpai expects good exam scores.

[ But that's hardly the issue here. He's not sure how he feels about this revelation. It's not that he has any objection to them as a pair. It's kind of nice, actually, to know that he likes at least one of Minako's boyfriends (he knows he's had more than a few girlfriends, so he wouldn't be surprised if Minako has had more than one boyfriend). He could see how they might mesh. But ... he knows (or thinks he does, anyway) what happens to Shinjiro.

So instead he simply is thoughtful for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of prying (he normally doesn't like to, but she is his sister, and so he feels it might be okay...). ]

... if you decide to get together again here... will you let me know?

[ It's less nosiness than thinking it would give him cues. If he knows if she's dating Shinji and they happen to be hanging out in person at the arcade or music ship, and she mentions that she will be going to dinner with Shinjiro, then her brother'll know to not invite himself along ~~to enjoy good cooking~~... for example. ]

[She's not exactly opposed to his suggestion... but it does open a window of opportunity which she can't resist taking.]

Will you be letting me know if you get a girlfriend? [hmm....] Or maybe you already have one...

[ How to answer that. . . ]

If you'd like... I don't have one currently, though.

[ He's... not entirely sure he wants one right this moment, either. He wouldn't readily admit it, but he does miss Yukari, and even if they hadn't officially been something exactly, still... it would feel a little wrong. Not that this has stopped him from being nice and maybe even flirting a little. He's not sure he'd take it further.

And besides, there's Elizabeth. He loves her very much. She's a dear friend, and she's done and is doing so much for him, but...

Well, his thoughts are complicated, and let's leave it at that. ]

[Her thoughts on Theo are equally complex, so she's more than happy to leave that issue be.

...Doesn't mean she won't tease, though.]

I'm sure that won't last if you don't want it to. You probably had a fan club just like Akihiko-senpai.

[ He gives her an 'are you serious?' look and shakes his head. ]

Ah... I really hope not. [ Ryoji was the only mysterious transfer student with a fan club. ] But I guess we'll see how things go.

[wow Minato that's not acceptable. Any brother of hers must be loved by everybody.] Why not? You have 'mysterious transfer student' down perfectly! I'd probably fall for you too if we weren't related.

[...now she's just trying to get a reaction from him]

[ What a scandalous sister. But he is not going to rise to her bait! He just lifts his eyebrows at her and deadpans. ]

Hm. It seems like I need to try harder to be more attractive.

[orly...] Good... because if Akihiko-senpai can manage it, it'd just be sad if you can't.

[ yarly ]

Were you a part of Akihiko-senpai's fanclub?

[just. this look]

Of course not. I actually saw him every day.

[And if any of those girls had seen him that often they probably wouldn't be as crazy about him either.

He's strong and sweet. But he has zero understanding of the female psyche. And compares her to his dead sister.]

[ Two can play at the game of teasing! ]

Anyone else's fanclub, then?

How about the Koro-chan fanclub?

[he's not going to win.]

That's a fanclub everyone should join.

[ we'll see. And never mind that he didn't s. link with Koromaru. He still went on walks with the puppy! ]

Edited 2012-09-17 00:04 (UTC)

[you don't need a s-link for that club, look at Shinjiro.]

I know, right?

He's the best dog I've ever met.

[ And definitely one of the best beings he's ever met in general! ... Minato's smile is just a little sad, because he misses Koro-chan and he bets Minako does too. But it's also very happy because -- Koro-chan! ]

Me, too! [although they probably met mostly the same dogs...

that's still so strange to think.] Did you take him for walks?

[ Minato nods. ] When he wanted to go. [ Who could resist those puppy eyes? ~~besides a determined social stat grinder~~ ]

It was nice, having a dog at the dorm... I'm glad we were able to take care of him.

Me, too. ... and I'm sure he'll continue to have a good home.

[ But that's getting onto sadder things. And so Minato quickly changes the subject just slightly. ]

Were there any animals in the places you lived before?

[ What he's really getting at is more wondering if they moved around to the same places or if just the beginning and end points were the same. ]

A few of them... [she's interested in this question herself. But it's kind of awkward to say directly.]

... was one of them a white ferret? [ it's a backwards sort of way of confirming if at least one place they stayed at was the same, of course, but he distinctly remembers one of their cousins having a white ferret, primarily because the ferret had seemed to dislike him and wound up biting him on multiple occasions. ]

One was!

...I didn't like it very much, to be honest.

[it was very mean.]

It was cute but... only seemed to like our cousin...
