Who: Minato, youuu and also questfriends eventually, probably
Where: Around Town, Near The Woods
When: Nebulous November Time
What: In which Minato's depressed Aigis is gone, distractions are attempted to be found, and he's way too close to the woods (also, quests)
Warnings: None atm!
A - distractions will surely help;
[It never really gets easier when people go home, but Aigis... Aigis was special. There was so much left unsaid, so much that he should have told her before she left, and now the thought that he's lost his chance to do so forever is... honestly really hard to swallow.
It's impossible not to notice that she's gone. Her room (and Levy's, too...) is empty, and while he's grateful for Valvatorez still being there so that he's not entirely left alone again, it's still far too quiet.
So he tries to keep himself busy. It'll be pretty easy to find him, considering he's out wandering pretty exclusively; he doesn't want to go back to the empty house, so he can be found fishing at the dock, head bowed, or listlessly walking through the town, hands shoved into his pockets and headphones on, or picking up skeleton bones to pile them up with a distant frown on his face.
Boy he looks like he's having such a great time.]
B - distractions, take two;
[Eventually, he tries something different when that's not working; he gathers what he has for ingredients, and he bakes. He's gotten much better at baking in this place after the past six or seven odd months here, because it's not like there's much more to do. They're nothing special, since he can only work with what he's got, but there's plenty of honey and some chocolate from his color rewards previously and since pie crusts have color restored...!!
... Well, flour isn't restored yet, but presumably mixing colorless flour and eggs with color to make pie crust and only pie crust makes it suddenly have color...? That's bizarre but Minato's getting pretty used to the town's weird rules, it's fine.
So! Apple pie and chocolate pie it is, sweetened with honey, complete with purple milk for the chocolate pie (does that make the chocolate pie purple-brown...?), and they turn out...pretty okay! However, it's infinitely more pie than he is willing to personally eat, so.
Knock knock, there's Minato at your door with a slice of pie.]
...Do you want this?
[Please take it.]
C - this is the bad option;
[Minato knows better, he really does. But...
It doesn't stop him from standing right at the edge of the woods, close enough to be beneath the shaded boughs, peering into the trees. It's cold, so he's got his hoodie on, hands tucked deeply into the pocket, scarf wrapped tightly around his neck...
But he's looking a bit too intently out there, fingers idly toying with the charm Guren gave him in his pocket, looking perhaps a bit too deeply in thought.
Watch him long enough without interrupting, and he might even take a step deeper into the woods.
(He knows he shouldn't, he really does, but... but what if they're all out there?)]
D - wildcard/quests
[Hit me at
kalisona or via PM if you'd like a personalized prompt or to plot! I'll probably toss quests in here too when they're released.]

[Hit me at

no subject
So he needs a moment.
He clears his throat.]
... You want to cuddle with me under that blanket?
no subject
Why? [directing her shiny-eyed gaze at Minato...] Is that something you can't do?
no subject
... No, that's not it. I was just a little surprised.
[But he supposes it makes sense...he's blue, right?]
But if you want to, I'm find with it. Let's use the couch, then.
no subject
like cuddling.
She sits on the couch and pats the spot next to her. This would be very sweet if Okuni's shiny eyes didn't now look a little menacing...]
I won't keep you for too long! Just long enough.
[ominous...]
no subject
Well, for now Minato just shrugs! Okuni is cute, and he likes being around people for warmth in the drafty house, and he's sure this'll all end up fine?
Surely.
So...!! He plops down next to her, and reaches for the blanket to help tuck it around Okuni because he's like that.]
At least this quest is warm...
no subject
Okuni looks pleased that her plan is coming along, though she does look temporarily surprised when Minato tucks the blanket around her. That gesture... reminds her of Baren.]
Do you get sick easily?
[She'd planned on wrapping Minato up lickity-split, but this is fine too!! for now]
no subject
And Minato makes a vague face at that, though if he's going to be honest:]
...Yeah. I don't have a great immune system, honestly. Usually I'm okay, but when it starts to get cold, I think it gets easier for me to get sick.
[He just wants to hibernate.]
no subject
[Okuni reaches over to poke at one of Minato's arms to see if they're as noodle-y as she thinks, or maybe they have hidden persona protag muscles. So now she's basically feeling him up, yet AGAIN, under this blanket ig]
You should be fine as long as you sleep and eat properly... And as long as you don't overextend yourself trying to help too many people.
[squints at]
no subject
That's rude, Okuni. Minato does squirm away a little, because stop...feeling him up under the blanket...!!!
He does have some persona protag muscles, but mostly he's just scrawny, honestly.]
... Right... I'll be careful not to do that.
[Okuni...]
Thank you though... for coming by. This is honestly really warm.
[He likes it!!]
