Floor Fifteen

[He had been working on this for a very, very long time- almost since he first arrived nearly two months ago. It wasn't perfect like Daidara-san's work - no, not by a long shot, but he was finally putting the finishing touches on his own blade. Though, he had decided to take a break from finishing the hilt earlier... if the item beside him was any indication.]

Your Choice

[It's April 27th... and someone's birthday. He definitely made them something, but the question is... where to find them?]

[> You begin your search for a certain detective, but will it only be Naoto-kun that you bump into?]

Floor Fourteen

[He hasn't been to this floor for a long time, but right now... he doesn't mind the break. Yu sits in a corner of the room, watching others playing video games with one earpiece on and the other lying there, hanging off his jacket. People from his world may recognize the voice as "Risette," but really-- he only knows her as Rise...]

[So many of his friends have been hurting lately, and he has no idea where to begin to help them other than continue to lend a helping hand and an ear to listen. Sometimes he wishes they would see that he's never too busy to help them, but other times... What do you even say to someone who can't tell you the problem they're facing?]

[...Maybe he should join the others and play something for a change.]

Floor Twenty-Eight

[The music floor...]

[He really has no problems with it, the instruments sometimes playing on their own. But this time, he finds an instrument that he knows well enough- something he hasn't played in a few months, now. If someone stumbles upon him, they'll hear a single trumpet playing something both hopeful yet melancholic, just a little louder than anything else around.]

Floor Thirty-Eight

[At the end of the day, he can be found on the thirty-eighth floor, staring out the windows to the outside with his newly-forged sword at his side. The height doesn't scare him, and the view isn't too bad... but it partly reminds him of being up on the hilltop overlooking the small town he made so many memories in.]

[Yu is silent, simply sitting there in one of the over-sized chairs with a small notebook in hand. He's almost done with the account of their journey, one no one would ever believe aside from their own...]

Comments

[pitiedthefool]

[He nods.] Yeah, it's Rise.

[evokingfool]

What's she like in person?

[pitiedthefool]

[Minato. Minato, no. You did not just-]

Very outspoken, cheerful, and full of positive energy even if she has doubts about herself and who she really is at times. [There's a strange fondness in his tone...] She's smart, loyal, always great at supporting those she considers her friends, though sometimes she can be a little... flirty.

[Only to you, Yu. :I]

[evokingfool]

[He listen to Yu with a smile. He can hear the fondness in his friend's voice. It's very obvious to Minato.]

You two must've been very close.

[pitiedthefool]

Yeah, we are. [The bonds prove it. He pauses though, looking to Minato.]

What are your friends like?

[evokingfool]

My friends...those in SEES are my dear friends and comrades. We may have our disagreements and sometimes, arguments and being petty. But...I wouldn't give them up for anything.

[pitiedthefool]

I think the same can be said for anyone on the same kind of team.

[He knows that feeling, roomie.]

[evokingfool]

[He nods, smiling. It's the best feeling he have. He feels connected with his team, after distancing himself from people for so long. Minato can talk and be casual with people, but there's no connection before coming to Iwatodai.]

It's the same for you and your team, I take it?

[pitiedthefool]

[...Deja vu, Minato. That's literally all he has to say to that one.]

Right. [A smile, and maybe a slight eye twitch. Some things... did not need to be reminisced.] After what we've all been through together, how can it not be the same?

[That includes the good, the bad, and the downright "owshifuck, no- why the pails to the faceand Shadow Kanji put on some pants also can someone give Shadow Rise a jacket or something?!"]

[evokingfool]

I wouldn't mind hearing some stories about it.

[Minato's curious about his roommate's adventures. but he won't mention operation babe hunt]

[pitiedthefool]

Then we might be here a while.

[> With your current level of Charm, you are able to sway your otherwise quiet roommate to tell of his story.

> He begins to explain his time in Inaba and how he came to find out about the TV world and the connections it had with the two murders, then how it was he met his team and best friends- the first real friends he's ever had.

> Yu even mentions the camping trip and warns Minato to never try any of the girls' cooking with the exception of their cakes.

> Oddly enough, the cake baking skills are the only cooking skills they have that isn't a lie...

> He then mentions the trip to Port Island and visiting Gekkoukan High during said class trip... Feel free to stop him there (and note he never mentioned what the Shadows of his friends said).]

[evokingfool]

[> After Yu tells his story for a while, you speak up and want to have your turn with your own story. You begins telling your own to your roommate.

> From the time he arrived in Iwatodai during the Dark Hour, to how you first summon your Persona and fight the Shadows and the reason behind SEES's existence: to solve the mystery of the Shadows, Tartarus and find a way to remove the Dark Hour.

> You also the full moon operations the team went on and you lead. However, you have the good sense to avoid mentioning your moment with Yukari at Shirakawa Boulevard.

> You mentions how it all went, from battles to new allies they get (they got a dog and a robot on the team).

> At least, until you steadily slows down at the stopping point. Your knowledge of the future make it rather grim to think about.]

[pitiedthefool]

[> You listen to Minato's story. Some of it at least sounds familiar, thanks to discussions with others who share the same family name.

> You also think that what SEES stands for is a mouthful. Seriously, who even thinks up of these team names?

> You are silent until Minato finishes, giving an understanding nod at the idea of why he was slowing down. The future could be an ugly thing if all you had were a few glimpses of it due to the few words from others.

> Also, dog and a robot team members? Awesome.]

...We have a bear-turned human on ours.

[> You neglect to mention that this particular bear is also a Shadow. Or was. It got complicated in December.]

[evokingfool]

A bear-turned human?

[> You find that rather interesting. It must be interesting. Well, at least the bear didn't end up sealing Death inside you when you're a child.]

[pitiedthefool]

It's beary complicated.

[> You realize that his mannerisms have at least partially rubbed off on you...

>You are not sure what to think about this.]

[evokingfool]

"Beary"?

[> You chuckles at it. That's rather cute.]

[pitiedthefool]

...Some things rub off when you spend a year with friends.

[> You decide to shrug it off.]

[evokingfool]

[> You chuckles.]

That's rather cute.

[> But you knows about picking things up from your friends.

[pitiedthefool]

It is, isn't it.

[> You continue to share funny stories about your friends and their misadventures.]
[> You feel a bond between you and Minato...]
[> and your mun is too Tired to make a gif, whoops]

[evokingfool]

[> Your relationship is stronger now...
> ...!?
> A mysterious voice rings in your head...

BLAH BLAH THOU ART I AND I AM THOU PART HERE

RANK UP.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Wow, the mysterious voice has gotten lazy as of late. For a moment there, he looks a bit perplexed until he hears Izanagi chuckle in the back of his head.

...Stupid trolls, but yay rank up!]

[evokingfool]

[Minato just blinks, before giving a small shrug. Yeah, he don't know.

...But yay, rank up!]

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu shrugs back, wondering if it's ever had a vacation before.]

...That was weird.

[mysteriousvoice]

[>Look man, after speaking for all these social links, a godly voice gets pretty damn tired of saying all this shit.]

[pitiedthefool]

[>Sorry man, but have you ever thought of a tape recording? Might help out a little bit and give you a break.]
