[ 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.

A little. But it doesn't really seem to stop anyone from setting up shop down here. There's a karaoke bar that I think belongs to one of the people from the castle, for instance.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...karaoke? [ because somehow he just DIDN'T DO THAT ENOUGH back home ] They've got everything they need to set that up?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Apparently! The place is called Caritas. [ She turns a corner, pointing ahead of them. ] It's this way -- I can show you, if you want.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Huh...we should go sometime. Sounds fun.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Sure! We could go this weekend, if you want. Just as long as you don't expect me to sing. April Fool's in the castle was not kind to anyone, so I'm kind of ... swearing off it.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Really? But it's no fun if you don't sing.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

I filled my singing quota for the month. Possibly for the year. I've even sworn off singing in the shower.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Hm. [ thinking face... ] I think you'd have a good voice.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Ah -- [ She looks surprised for a second, then smiles. ] Thanks, Minato.

[ Paying attention the scenery again, she stops in front of a big building. ] Anyway. This is the theater -- for plays and stuff. I mean, there's a movie theater in the castle, but this one's for stage stuff. I've never actually gone, but the people around town say it's pretty good. [ A pause, then she cants her head to the side a little. ] I guess they're probably a little biased.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Especially with their options.

They never come to the castle?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. I mean, I've never seen one of them there.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Weird. You'd think they'd be wanting to get all the better technology...but it's more like those outsiders.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're happier without it. Or they think they are. I don't know.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Could be. 'Ignorance is bliss'.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

That's what they say.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Their loss.

[ So! GROCERIES. Food is a thing that he is looking forward to. ] Which way from here?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ She points over to the right and directs them that way. ] So, have you made some friends since you got here?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Some. And connected with old ones.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Oh? People you know from back home are here? That's lucky.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Mhm. Yukari, Akihiko, and Pharos.

[ and koromaru. but naming a dog seems lame, even if he is the best dog ever. ] Plus some who knew me last time I was here.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ she stops suddenly. ]

Wait. [ jaw drop. ] You know Akihiko?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...yeah. [ he stops too! what up, chicken butt? ]

He's my senpai from home.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Your sen-what? [ She shakes her head. Oh, this is too weird. Not that it's the first coincidence she's run headfirst into, but -- ] Sorry. That's just ... so weird.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

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.
