[ 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 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.

[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.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ 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.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ 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.
