[ 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.

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.

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ tatsuya stares...he's never been very good at accepting things from other people nor is he much of a gamer, but he supposes he could be. it's not like there's much else to do. ]

...Are you sure?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Sure. It's no problem.

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ tatsuya takes it and nods. he'll try it out later c: ]

Thanks.

Do you play a lot of games?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

When I have time.

[freila.livejournal.com]

What else do you do?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...

Run track, swim, play violin, do photography, a bit of tailoring...martial arts practice. Not much.

[freila.livejournal.com]

...

"Not much"?

[ that's a lot. tatsuya feels inadequate. ...but he's used to that. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It filled the time.

[ says this so offhand, you don't even ]

[freila.livejournal.com]

That's like...everything.

[ he could probably fill his time with those things too if he wanted to...after all, he's the fastest runner in his class, the son and brother of police officers, and pretty good with his hands. but he doesn't really have any confidence in himself for these sorts of things. nor would he even know where to start - which hobby can he take? choices are hard. ]

Especially with school and other stuff...

[ like fighting monsters. and dating? this guy sounds like the type who's into dating. maybe. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ dating, very well-timed polygamy...same diff. ]

I guess. It's just time management.

[freila.livejournal.com]

Are you gonna do that stuff here?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Maybe. We'll see.

[freila.livejournal.com]

[ a shrug. ]

There's not much else. Unless you like to meet a lot of people.

[brbfisting.livejournal.com]

[ I...

WHAT. ]
