[ 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.

Are you sure about that?

[freila.livejournal.com]

...I'm not good at anything someone would pay for.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

So there's something else.

[freila.livejournal.com]

If you count imitations as something worth mentioning.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Could be. You could go into comedy.

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ the concept of someone finding him funny unironically is enough to make him chuckle. ]

Maybe...demon comedy.

[ some of them thought it was funny or cool! ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Demon comedy?

[ Saving his game and tilting his head, ever so slightly. This he has to hear! ]

[freila.livejournal.com]

The demons liked it.

[ among other things, like their crappy band, and lisa's dancing, and talking about life, and when he and jun would stare deep into each others' eyes... ]

...

[ but these guys don't know demons, do they... ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Tricky audience to play to.

[ it's cool, bro. minato doesn't judge! as long as you're not using BLOOOOOD MAGIIIIIC. ]

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ there's a pause. ]

...You know demons?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

I know of them.

[freila.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Your friends didn't seem to know them. Not in the same way I do, anyway.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Mm. We never came into contact with classic demons...just Shadows.

[freila.livejournal.com]

I've heard.

[ and he's still not sure he understands them entirely, either. ]

They're not quite like the Shadows I know, either.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

What are yours like?

[freila.livejournal.com]

...

[ fresh wound, man ]

Like looking in a mirror and having your reflection slap you in the face.

[ BUT YOU TAKE IT LIKE A MAN AND BEAT YOUR REFLECTION'S ASS!! ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...

[ very not sure what to say to that. what CAN you say? ]

Must be hard.

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ a shrug. he knows what his Shadow had to say was true in some ways - that he has no sense of direction in life, that he feels like it's easier for other people to make decisions for him, and that part of him resents jun. but not in all ways, and that's what's important, he figures. he knows (hopes) he'll figure out what he wants someday, and he doesn't hate jun. he loves jun and hates the joker - and they're not the same. not entirely. how can he criticize his best friend if he might have done the same thing if he'd gone through everything jun went through?

he got a bangin' new persona out of the deal, anyway. ]

It works out in the end.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ well, as long as you get a bangin' Persona! he nods, once. ]

All you can hope for.

...is everyone okay, back home?

[freila.livejournal.com]

...

[ the million dollar question... ]

They say time is frozen here...so they should be. If that's true.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

It is. I know it.

[ ... ] As long as they're alright...not much else matters.

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ ... ]

Mm.

[ that is true! he goes quiet because even if he knows they're okay, it still sucks hanging here in limbo. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ minato ejects the umd out of his psp silently, clicking it back into it's case. he knows limbo all too well. but still, here's the game offered to tatsuya! ]

You want this one? I can get another.

[brbfisting.livejournal.com]

[ I...

WHAT. ]

[ SHADOWS, MAN. (http://i.imgur.com/E0rkY.png) IT KEEPS HAPPENING. ]
