2ND BUS STOP | MAZES, HEALING & HUNTING [OPEN]
Characters: Shinjiro and anyone else who wishes to interact with him
Setting: Various locations!Fabulous prizes!
Format: Any is fine; I'll follow your lead (I started in prose but do action if you want!)
Summary: A guy who goes around places trying not to think too much about the maze and what happened there.
Warning: SMT is suffering. Persona 3 is suffering.
[DORMITORIES - Backdated to the first day after awakening (Locked to Jin)]
The numbness subsided and he stood up, rubbing his head.
He...wasn't sure what to think, and looked down at his hands, before rubbing his head. Had he really...why was Castor back again it was...
No. No it wasn't Castor anymore. No matter how real everything had felt, those last four days of seeing the orphanage burn again and again, how hurtful it had all been he...he wasn't sure if he wanted to see Minako right now. What if it suddenly...no he needed to stop thinking like that! Concentrate on other things!
There were people to thank, as much as he hated thanking anyone. Shinjiro didn't like to owe favors. Others he needed to talk with. Like that asshole in a bed close to his, still sleeping. How do you even talk with a guy who killed you? Didn't know. Probably was having his own demons to fight off, after all. Maybe it was pity he felt, but...whatever. They needed to talk. He'd wait.
[LEVEL 32 - FLOATING ISLAND (no powers)]
It felt odd, not having the sound of any Persona in the back of his head. Knowing that he was, for a short while, just simply a human. It...felt nice at times, although with the situation, he was getting more and more thankful for the fact he could call upon then.
Regardless, the food this month was a farce. That could not do. A series of bags with him, Shinji was busy gathering roots, fruits and leaves. What he could dry later, he would, but most were going to be used in cooking.
If they didn't provide it, he'd make it himself...maybe a nice mushroom soup.
[LEVEL 25 - FLOWER MEADOW]
Most people only saw them as gifts to give to a beloved one (and to be fair a few of these might be going towards this goal) but for the most part, Shinjiro was picking up roses, clovers, dandelions and lavender. He could prepare tea with some of them, and use the others in his cooking to make a salad.
[LEVEL 15 - WORKSHOP]
For the past few days, Shinjiro had spent most of his time on the 15th level, using the forging tools and materials available to him. That labyrinth had sealed it for him, in a way, and he wasn't going to get caught empty-handed for any reason. If he didn't have his axe, he'd make himself one no matter how long it took. But first, there were a few people he needed to thank, for their help...
[This part is opened to everyone but England, Minami and Minako, if you want to meet him this week, he will have something to give you.]
[LEVEL 11 - OPEN AREA, WATERFALLS, NIGHTFALL]
Floor Eleven. The sound of the waterfalls should be soothing, but Shinjiro wasn't here to admire the view or to plummet himself to death. He was waiting for the night to fall, and the rainbows to flip over. Relenting was hard for him, but he knew he needed to practice fighting more. Was it safe to go by himself? Nope. Did he care? Not really.
He needed the practice and alone or with someone and he was going to do it right here...
[LEVEL 6 - FOREST]
Just eating plants wasn't going to be enough, of course. The animals here might be twisted - the birds might have teeth, but they were still, to their very basic, animals. Meat.
He was a cook, he knew how to cut and take care of one. But he'd never actually hunted for them before. A guy like Shinjiro wasn't the definition of someone who'd be good for that kind of stuff either. Which is why he was using his persona instead. Augustus had a lance. That seemed like the best course of action, in this case.
He just needed to find something large enough so he could feed more of them...but that came with its own dangers, didn't it?
[LEVEL 3 - LIBRARY]
Aki would be laughing at him. Him? In the library? You could almost think he was becoming studious! In reality, he was busy looking at cookbooks, trying to enhance his knowledge a little more - hell if he'd ever be caught dead reading wildlife magazines before, but now they actually were teaching him something.
He sat in one of the chairs, a stack of cookbooks and Wildlife's finest on a table nearby.
[LEVEL 1 - KITCHEN]
The first thing you might have notice, if you were the type to go snooping into one of the fridges was a few animals hung with hooks and dripping blood (but don't worry, he had found a pots for all that liquid to go into). Meat wasn't made to be eaten the day an animal died, but it was still a pretty grisly sight for those unprepared for it. Shinjiro hadn't cut and diced it yet, waiting a day more for the meat to rest.
Meanwhile, he was making what looked to be a few vegetarian dishes, and quite possibly cursing the lack of well...ANYTHING this month. At least his chest had come with some salt for his cooking. Next month he'd seriously have to think about stealing things from here or at least drying and smoking it so it could be preserved for later when they decided to pull stunts like this.

The corner of his lip twitched in anger, and he gripped the pills tighter, turning and throwing them at the wall so they fell to the ground near his bed.
"I don't need your pity, Aragaki! I can handle my own damn Persona."
no subject
"Never said anything about pity." Sorry, but that was something he'd never be able to give them. Be annoyed with what Kirijo Group had done, yeah. But pity? They'd picked what they wanted to do with their lives. They could have ended up differently, but chose this one. It was harsh and cold thinking, but Shinjiro had made his own choices as well.
Although sometimes he wondered if he had gone with them, would things have been different?
"...we both know that last part's bullshit." He could handle it, but it would eventually kill him. "Unless you were forgetting we were all in the labyrinth."
no subject
"That's not gonna happen again. I don't have your privilege of being able to pussy out and getting over it, but I ain't letting it go batshit like you did."
no subject
"Who says you don't?" No, he wasn't going to suggest a crazy-ass way to destroy their Personas or fix it like some of the others. Just idly realizing that for all their wanting to accept death, then being so gung-ho about protecting each other, they just kept running away from their own problems.
They were alike in so many ways it kinda pissed him off.
no subject
"You and your dumb little team should know better than the others that we're stuck with 'em. We can't just power through it like in some stupid video game."
He'd never really thought about it as much before, but these last two weeks just made it clear that even if he accepted he'd die and embraced the Dark Hour, he still resented the damn thing crammed into his head. And that pissed him off.
no subject
He got up and began to walk out of the doorway as well.
"I'm just gonna warn you instead. Touch her again, and I ain't gonna hold back." And he didn't mean the good 'not holding back' either.
no subject
On the second part however, he was back to his much less giving-a-damn and snarky self with a roll of his eyes. "Like I care. If she gets in my way I'll do the same thing I did back there. Keep her out of my business if you're that paranoid."
no subject
Urgent assistance. Please.
"Shit." That's said a little too loudly, but he recognizes those signs. He types in a message.
Don't move.
Before going back into the room, and picking the bottle Jin threw on the floor.
"Plan's changed. I need those after all." Without waiting for his answer, he grabbed his weapon and tore off.
