[ Alright, well, so far? This place isn't too shabby. A few friends from home, a few people who know him from his previous two-year stay, and a few mysteries to investigate so he has something to do with his free time...not bad. Not bad at all. The lack of having his nuts clawed at by Erebus helps, too.

For the first week, Minato has been indulging the simpler pleasures of life; fresh food, sleeping in, and spending a day doing nothing but playing videogames and listening to music. Good times all around!

But of course, one can't just laze around forever- social needs are just that. So today, he's on a lobby couch, feet propped up on an ottoman, PSP in his lap. Faint sounds of some sort of hacky-slashy game with all the people from that one popular series filter through his headphones, but it's mostly his voice, dictating into the journal. ]

For all the people who've been here awhile...I was wondering. How do you fill your days? I don't mind having all this time off, but...it's like summer vacation.

[ In that eventually, like Junpei, there's just nothing left to do and you can't wait for school to be back in. He buttons through a menu, pausing before the next fight against Swordguy McLeatherbelts. ]

Must be more to do. Especially with the mystery of the castle.

In the grade above me at school.

[ YOU WHITE PEOPLE. He gives her that curious look. ] Why?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Well, he's my boyfriend.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...

[ WHOOPS.JPEG. Hitting on his bro's girl a little bit!

Just gonna backpedal into the sunset now...through a few blinks, opening his mouth to say something, then promptly shutting it again. ]

Oh.

[ Oh Minato is on the borderline of emoting. :o This catches her attention and then she manages to be intuitive enough to kind of figure out why. ]

... Yeah. He's a really great guy, though - I mean, obviously. You know that. I'll bet having him as a friend will help you acclimate a lot easier, though.

[ It's a miracle!!

Such a smart girl. He's under control again in a second...ahahaha. Forgive him, Aki. He usually follows the Bro Code. ]

He is. [ ...okay, just one more. ] And he's very lucky to have you.

[ Awkward town, population: claire. ]

Thanks. [ She looks at her feet briefly then clears her throat and keeps walking. ] Maybe him and Yukari and Pharos could come with us to karaoke. [ Since that officially feels a little more appropriate. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Trolltown, population: Minato. Heheheh. Following along! ]

Maybe. [ ... ] ...don't think I've ever heard senpai sing.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

He's not bad. [ There's a distant smile at that, but she chokes up after a second. ] Ah -- April Fool's thing. It ... The castle kind of went all out. I'm not sure he'll ever be doing that again.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Not without some encouragement.

[ Heh. Heh. Heh. ]

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you can convince him, more power to you. I just don't want you getting your hopes up.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

I won't. But I think I can manage it.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Well. We'll see. I'll try and drag him out.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...

Promise a bowl of ramen. Usually works.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ eyebrow raise. ] Ramen? Seriously?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Hagakure, specifically...but you don't have that store here.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I think there are still some shops for it though. [ she looks around like there will somehow be one right there but ... there's not. at all. :| ] I just don't really know where to find them.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Aw, man! I hate it when what I want doesn't immediately materalise! So inconvenient.]

I'll take a look around later.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Guess I'm not the world's greatest tour guide. [ they pass by a big old nondenominational church before they get to the area of town that's really shopping-centric. but, once they do, it's pretty obvious that it's a different part of town. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I'm having fun.

[ and learning! learning so much. he's looking at everything, taking it all in...it's so much different from Port Island. ]

This much like your home?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Mine? No, not really. I mean, the principle's the same, but everything where I come from's a lot more ... built up. And you can't get anywhere in California without a car. [ Which is regrettable, truly. ] It's pretty cool to see, though.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Yeah...same here. It's all really relaxed here.

What year is it for you?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

2009 when I left. I've been here so long, though, it'd be 2010 there by now. Kind of weird to think about.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Huh. About the same for me.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Really? This one guy I met, he was from 2011. That was kind of weird.

[ Aw, man! I hate it when what I want doesn't immediately materalise! So inconvenient.]

I'll take a look around later.
