Characters: Minato and YOU.
Setting: Room 2-02, Cafeteria & various. October 12th-13th
Format: Starting in action, will match.
Summary: Minato wake up as the Master of Strings. He proceeds to try and get the candies.
Warnings: None yet!

[2-02 (October 12th)
It would be yet another morning for the guys in 2-02. Minato would wake up, get out of bed and away from sleep’s comforting embrace, and then get ready for the day. Except when he shifts, he doesn’t feel his sleeping clothes but something...harder. And what’s this weight on his head?

He blinked and slowly moved his arm out from under his blanket, staring at his arm. Well, this was new. But he somewhat got his explanation when he saw the note on the teddy bear’s lap.

Collect the candies, huh?

Minato get out of bed, moving his body to feel what it’s like to be his first Persona. After getting somewhat used to the different weights, Minato went over to talk with his roommates. This was kind of important to know. The admins must’ve sent them another game.

CAFETERIA (Both days)
Unsurprising to anyone, Minato’s first stop would be the cafeteria. If he’s going to start collecting candies, it’s better to do it on a full stomach. At least, make sure he won’t be hungry enough to try and eat the candies.

So a familiar looking guy dressed up as a mechanical musician was at the cafeteria, getting his food and then eating them at the table.

EVERYWHERE ELSE (Both days)
Minato can be found around the tower, looking for candies to fill up his plastic pumpkin. A part of him suspected something bad will happen if he didn’t. If it’s death, then he wouldn’t be surprised at all. It’s other possible effects that made him worry.

But that’s something to worry about if he die.]

everywhere else

[terreifying]

Hee~ey, are you collecting candy too?

[Rei is in costume...but seems to be...enjoying it?]

Re: everywhere else

[evokingfool]

[He glance over at her, after putting one candy into his plastic pumpkin, and nods.]

Yeah, I am. I'm trying to collect as many as I can.

Re: everywhere else

[terreifying]

How many do you have right now?

[She picks up her barrel and rattles it, indicating that there's candy inside.]

I don't have all that many, but I've only started playing this game.

[Plus, she's been eating her candies.]

Re: everywhere else

[evokingfool]

[He looks at his bucket, mentally counting his candies.]

I have about ten or so.

[He may or may not be already tempted to eat one candy.]

Re: everywhere else

[terreifying]

I'm not gonna count until the end of the day. Then it's more of a surprise. Things are always more fun when they're surprises.

[pitiedthefool]

[Well, Minato... Welcome to the club of looking like your initial Persona (since he's been like this for two days, now). Yu is standing there and uh... being kind of glad that the 'boots' on his costume were not as accurate as they could have been. Seriously that would have been hell trying to get around because what is not being able to hover?

He also kind of likes the ground.

When he looks up, the mask is still refusing to come off for long term. Thus his eyes may not... look the same...]

...You too, huh.

[Looks like they're in for a whole lot of fun, then.]

[evokingfool]

Yeah, me too.

[He feel the same about the "boots". Orpheus's legs aren't as walking friendly.]

I guess I'll be joining you on the candy hunting.

[pitiedthefool]

[...He's beginning to realize that none of their initial Personas are. With a sigh, he tosses an extra candy at his friend.]

For later, in case you're running low on time.

[Stupid red tint to his eyes behind the mask...]

[evokingfool]

[When they can float, who needs practical footwear. Also, yours is a god, Yu.

He catches the candy easily enough, gently dropping it into his plastic pumpkin.]

Thanks. Knowing this place and the admins...I suspect I need to make every candy counts.

Everywhere else - floor 19, 12th

[warriorscribe]

*Someone else, in an angel costume, is looking for candy too, searching under desks and tables and in the corners of the study room, flinching away from the occasional scrabbling at the walls when the lights flicker.

He stands after having come up empty-handed and turns to look at the newcomer.*

I haven't found anything on this floor, if you're looking to find more candy.

*Minato might have caught a glimpse of him before, placing extra candy in piles near the staircase on lower floors. Odd, for someone searching every nook and cranny he can think of to search.*

Re: Everywhere else - floor 19, 12th

[evokingfool]

[Yeah, Minato have seen him around before. But he didn't talk to him until now.]

I see... thank you for letting me know, sir. And for putting out those candies by the staircase.

[warriorscribe]

*That last part earns Minato a smile.* So you noticed...but there wasn't enough left for you?

[evokingfool]

[It should be easy to fill up his plastic pumpkin, but a part of him worries for the others.] I took some of them for myself, but I'm also looking around for more to help others with.

[He suspected that there's a limited number of candies. Maybe they're not, but unlimited candies would make this easier.]

[justabignobody]

[It's Riku's third day of candy-collecting (and being stuck in his ridiculous, bright red nutcracker suit) , and after the last few days of playing along with this particular game, he is a bit more relaxed about his ability to keeping the quota.

Right now he can be found using the group of Shadow Globs he found spread over floor and walls - or well, shelves - of Floor Forty for target practice - he might as well work on his spell control when he is already stuck with this task.

Fire and Blizzard spells work somewhat well by now, even though they aren't quite as strong as what he knows Sora to be able to dish out back home (but at least they aren't firing back into his face) and while he feels particularly daring, he throws a thunder spell into the mix.

That one... is obviously yet to be mastered, given that one of the bolts hits way too close for comfort, causing some of the boxes on the shelf next to him to topple over and Riku to scrabble back to avoid them and lineface at his hand.]

...Gotta work on that.

[evokingfool]

[When he heard sounds, Minato make his way over to investigate. He draws out his evoker with his free hand, just in case it's a monster. But he blinks when he see Riku and the fallen boxes.]

...Having trouble?

[He glance around, noting the mess and other features.]

[justabignobody]

[Riku turns sharply, looking alarmed at first, then maybe slightly sheepish - he hasn't exactly noticed the approaching company.]

Some magic control issues, I suppose. [A shrug.] Nothing that can't be worked out with some practice.

[Though he'll look for a bit of a more open place for that. One where doesn't have to pay quite as much attention to his environment.]

[evokingfool]

A different floor might be better for practising.

[Unless Riku pick this storage place on purpose. There are a fair number of boxes around as targets.]

[tsunball]

[ Minato might notice that one moment, just as he's about to bend down and grab one of the candies, someone else is just a liiittle bit faster than him, quickly grabbing it and clutching it tightly into his hand as if he's not going to let go of it for sure.

.... Said guy is stuck in a giant rooster costume, making it look just a little more ridiculous. ]

[evokingfool]

[He blinks and looks up at the guy.

Just staring. Staring.

Um.]

...You want that?

[tsunball]

Y-.. yeah! [ Maybe by now he feels a little bad for snatching it first, but.. well, he got to it first, okay!! He just wants to hurry up and fill his quota for the day so he can stop feeling so nervous about it.. ]

You got a problem with that?!

[ despite trying to act tough, it's pretty obvious he's nervous. ]

[evokingfool]

[He shake his head.]

No, I don't. You can have it.

[GUILTS LEON WITH HIS MOE ok no]

Everywhere else /i like tagging you

[altitonant_emperor]

Tsk, they made you partake in this ridiculous farce as well, Minato-kun?

[ I bet you recognize this costume and I bet you notice how annoyed and embarrassed the straight-laced perfect who's wearing it is. He's sulking seated in the lounge on one of the modern couches, arms crossed over his chest and white cape wrapped indignantly around him, his own plastic candy-filled bucket next to him. ]

/i like tagging you too

[evokingfool]

[Minato walks over to Hidetoshi, his own bucket being held by his left hand. At least his gloves are easy to use. He does recognise the costume, at least. Ah, Odin. He almost got you.]

Yeah. I doubt not participating would be a good idea.

/ :DDDD

[altitonant_emperor]

[ Hidetoshi will scoot over to make room for him on the couch if he wants to sit down for a little while, too. ]

'Collect candy, or else,' leaves much to the whims of imagination, doesn't it?

/ :33333

[evokingfool]

[He put down the harp on the floor, making it lean against the couch. Then h sits down next to Hidetoshi.]

It does. It can mean a lot of things here.

[Generally speaking, "death" is the most common result.]
