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.]

[ ~~time to put on the wibbly face, minato~~ ]

I just.. want to make sure I get as much candies as they're asking for. It seems like really weird shit is happening to the people who don't, right? I don't want to end up like that! [ now the source of his agitation is pretty clear, at least. ]

[Pretty clear enough. So.]

If you don't mind, let me help you.

[ ...

Okay, wait. Letting him have this one is one thing, but.. now he's being offered help? Even though he selfishly grabbed it? .. Shit, that.. actually makes him feel pretty bad, some sense of guilt that he has but usually never admits flowing up in his stomach.

.. Tch.. As desperate as he is.. ]

Did you at least get enough for yourself already? You shouldn't help out others when you don't got your own shit yet! [ this is his way of trying to say 'take care of yourself first', okay.. ]

[Aww, Leon, you do care. Be Minato's (Insert Arcana here) Social Link...!

He can sense the concern in Leon's words and nods.]

Yeah, I should have enough for myself.

[ If only Minato was from Persona 4, I would make a Kou replacement joke here, but alas.. the Balls Arcana..

But yes, he does care! It's just.. deep down, there are rare moments where he can get over his selfishness just slightly.. ]

.. Shit, I guess having some help isn't bad then. [ even if he's still awkward about it, but on the other hand, he's desperate enough.. ] I don't want to see what kind of weird shit the tower people will pull if people don't get enough.

[Balls...]

Knowing how this tower works, it usually involves motivating us unless we want to die.

[MOTIVATING...]

.. S.. so you're saying that if we won't get as much candy as they want us to, they'll.. [ his face turns paler as he gulps. ] They'll kill us?!

[Does he really have to say it out loud for you, Leon?]

Yes.

S.. shit.. [ He turns paler and paler, hands desperately clutching his bucket until his knuckles visibly turn white. ]

I have to get candy, I.. have to.. shit, I don't want to die..!

[Compared to Leon, Minato's calm but firm.]

As long we get enough candies in time, you won't die.

[So calm the fuck down.]

I.. I already got a whole lot though, here, look! [ He was sort of afraid of the consequences already, so he did gather quite a bit despite how he usually doesn't follow the rules. He practically shoves his own bucket under Minato's nose, and there is quite some candy in there, at least. ]

[Leon doesn't need to shove that bucket, but Minato take a step back to give himself some space. Once he have a decent amount of space, he looks down into Leon's bucket.]

Yeah, I can see them. Looks like you got enough of them for the day.

[ Well, at least that's a slight relief. Only slight, though, since.. well, he still looks pretty panicked, it's not that easy to calm down Leon once he gets fired up. ]

Shit, to think we'll have to do this every day now..!

Yes. We just have to do this until this game ends.

[Until people die and start competing with each other for candies.]
