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.

no subject
I've been eating fine. These days, I mostly cook my food.
no subject
Good. Wouldn't want you to be stuck with that crap they serve downstairs. You...hunted for some meat too?
no subject
[He tried it once. It's messy.]
no subject
If you do it again, just...tell me or somethin'. I'll clean it up for you.
[NOT THAT HE CARES OR ANYTHING.]
no subject
I'll let you know.
[EXCUSE TO HANG OUT WITH SENPAI? EXCUSE TO HANG OUT WITH SENPAI.]
no subject
[GDIT PROTAGS ALL UP IN MY HANGING OUTS.]
How much you got now? Make sure to leave the green ones, we need them to grow again.
no subject
[He moves and show Shinjiro his pile of strawberries. There's a fair number of them to satisfy a protagonist.]
no subject
Right. Let's go to the kitchen. I got enough ingredients I need to prepare anyway.
[And then he goes off without waiting for you. RUDE.]
no subject
no subject
Tch. Someone's been grabbing more flour. At this rate we'll be out before the end of the month.
no subject
Maybe they like to bake a lot.
[Walking over to check as well.]
no subject
[Man where was the flour disappearing...regardless, he's watching his ingredients, the annoyed look never leaving his face.]
I'll get the pheasant. Should work with what we have.
[He makes it sound so fancy but he's only got a few of those from hunting.]
no subject
[To both the sneaky people getting a talk and the pheasant. Other than that, Minato's quite eager to taste the result of today's cooking session with Shinjiro.
Knowing his senpai, it will be delicious as always.]
no subject
Fried or oven roasted...
[Very hard questions to ask.]
no subject
[Fried might help with that fast food craving. But oven roasted sound great as well.]
Oven roasted?
no subject
Right. Let's make a stuffing. Clean up those water cress and the cattails and chop them up while I work on using that flour to make some quick bread.
[Shinji cooking mode: Engaged. But at least he seemed to be enjoying himself. That was good, right?]
no subject
[With that, Minato get to work in silence. Judging from the sound of water and then later, chopping, he's doing his part of the cooking. There's a smile on his face, too. He noticed that Shinjiro's enjoying himself and is happy with it.]
