[ 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.

Here's to hoping that does a lot to speed us along.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best.

[ -oh hi, food! that now has all of minato's attention. ]

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ That's okay, Claire's the same. She's now super invested in her food. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ a girl after his own heart. minato gives the waitress his thanks and a nod to claire, and then proceeds to dig in!

his passion for eating can be...somewhat disturbing. he sure looks like he's enjoying it, at least. ]

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ it's okay, minato, she has a little brother. and a ... sylar ... :|b either way, she takes a break from her food after a minute to sip at her chocolate milk and then decide that ... conversation is still important. ]

So, you have one too, right? A persona. What's yours called? [ please don't be brutus please don't be brutus. :| she's forever paranoid after making that joke to akihiko. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

I do.

...depends on which you mean. I have several.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

... Several personas? You can do that?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ he just nods, having shovelled a mouthful of food into his mouth in the meantime.

he's special that way. ]

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Uhhh ... I don't know, all of them, then, I guess.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

There's about one hundred and seventy of them.

[ said with such a straight face! chew, chew...swallow. ] Main one is Orpheus...that's who answered the call at first.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Why do you have, like, a million? Does everyone have that many? [ such a confused face right now. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

No. I have the power of the Wild Card.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ slowly ] I don't understand; what does that mean?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

It means I can summon and switch between multiple Personas...it's a special ability. Rare.

[ and coming with the hefty price tag of dying for the world's protection, but you know. details she doesn't need to know. ] I can fuse them into others, too.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ staaaaare. damn. ]

You're not the only ones here, you know. With special abilities. I mean, you're not alone. I don't know if it means anything to you to know that, but ... I figured I'd mention it.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

I know, Claire. Thanks.

[ sip. hmm. ] ...it is comforting, I guess.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm glad. [ warm smile, then she's going back to her food. ]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Nod! He's not much of a talker, especially with food around. Minato digs in too, eating at a steady pace. Lunch is a marathon, not a sprint! ]

What about you?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

[ ... oh. she hesitates, using the excuse of pasta in her mouth to take a moment and muster an answer. he told her about what he could do, shouldn't she -- no. no, she shouldn't. enough people already knew. ]

Me? I'm nothing special. Not like you and Akihiko, anyway. I'm just some ... ex-cheerleader turned co-ed.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ aww, claire. claaaaaire.

actually wait. what did she say? ]

...cheerleader?

[ DIS FACE. ]

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Ex-cheerleader.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ this is totally more interesting than re-spawning abilities. excuse him, he is a boy. ]

How long has it been?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Like a year, I guess. Not that the cheerleading part wasn't fun, it was just ... You know cheerleaders. They have this way of ruining the experience. [ shrug ] Anyway. Akihiko said you guys didn't have any at your school.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Bet you still know the moves.

[ boo, you whore cheerleaders. minato nods, washing down some pasta with another gulp of soda. ]

We didn't. Our sports teams were...eclectic. Swim team, track team, and kendo.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a whole muscle memory thing. I don't think you ever really forget. [ besides, it's come in handy in her attempt at superheroine training. ] Did you do any sports in high school?
