[Open]

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 [plurk.com profile] 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.]

[If Minato was hoping to make terrible decisions without anyone noticing, he's severely out of luck. As soon as Izuku notices Aigis' hex code is crossed out, he goes looking for his friend and... finds him about to head into the woods.

Izuku quickens his steps and intercepts him before he can get too far.]


Heading in there alone, Arisato-kun?

[He knows Minato can defend himself if he needs to, but the timing of it just feels way too convenient. It doesn't sit well with him at all.]

[He was in the empty house for only a few moments, but as usual he finds himself perched on the docs. The fishing rod in his hand isn't great at finding his favorite fish, but it's better than nothing, he supposes.

On the other hand, his last remaining roommate seems to be all alone.]


You look down. Care to speak of it?

[ The knock is answered with a shouted 'Just a moment!' that's obviously coming from the other end of the little house, muffled by at least one more door. And then after a few seconds, there's the sound of hurried footsteps before Jion throws the door open, looking mildly harried. ]

Oh, hey Minato! What's up?

[ He's wet. He looks like he just dumped a bucket of water on himself before hurrying to open the door ... because that's pretty much precisely what happened. Minato kinda caught him while he was cleaning up after some self-maintenance.

Still, his gaze obviously falls on the pie for a moment before looking back up. ]


Um, sure. I guess? [ Pause. ] This isn't like, uh, a prank or anything, right? I mean, you don't seem like the type do that kinda thing, but you'd be surprised what people get up to once they've been stuck in one place for a while.

[Yeah, he sure does look like he's having fun. Percy happens to find Minato while he's fishing because of course he does. It's not that hard to see Minato sitting there while he's patrolling the area and he approaches with his hands in his pockets.

He doesn't say anything, simply walking up beside him and having a seat next to him while looking pensively at the water as well. Still...this is kind of...obviously wrong. Minato at least shouldn't look like this, so after a moment he speaks up.]


Any luck? The fishing here is pretty hit and miss.

[ Akechi was just on his way out to his usual Cafe Morgana visit-- and he always makes sure not to schedule anything else around this time, so the impromptu guest by the door is a little surprising. Someone looking for Lupin, maybe? ]

Arisato-kun, hello! [ He greets upon answering the door, puzzlement masked with a smile. ] I wasn't expecting company at this time.

[ It's only then he takes notice of the proffered slice of pie, so he adds with obvious confusion: ] Oh, you brought apple pie? It looks delicious, thank you. Do you want to come in for a minute?

[ Maya's never had to deal with a deep, troubling loss here. But she knows what a hurting soul looks like, and she's seen glimpses of Minato kind of aimlessly shambling around like a zombie.

She'd always had other destinations in mind at the time, but this time, she's immediately hooking her fingers into the back of his scarf to yank him back unceremoniously. ]


Nope.

[Shiho's seen Guren's colourless hands and knows people have died before in the forest. She can't just pretend she doesn't see Minato standing there looking so quiet and lonely and so worryingly fixated on the forest.

But she hesitates to reach out and touch him just in case he's thinking about something he doesn't want to share. Instead she's walking up, careful to make a lot of noise, crunching leaves under her feet.]


...If you're really thinking of going for a walk, there are safer places, you know?

[Sorry, Minato. He'll leave you alone as long as you're not doing anything dangerous...which is probably a little hypocritical of him, honestly.]

...if it'll help to go in and look around a little, I can go with you. Aizawa-sensei's gone, too.

[Too, he says. If Minato doesn't want to talk about it now, Izuku will just find him later. But the line's there, if he wants to take it. Izuku knows he's making a bit of a leap in assuming Aigis is the reason Minato's here, but he'll cross that bridge if it turns out his hunch is wrong after all.]

[Nothing Minato has called him was as immediately hilarious as "Mr. Valzy" this is fine by him.]

Mmm, yes. I'm used to much rowdier homes than what ours has turned into.

If you miss them, there's nothing wrong with admitting it.

It won't hurt if we stay closer to the town. [It might help, just to be in the woods, without going far enough to run into anything. Just to feel like they're doing something.

Izuku reaches out and rests his hand on Minato's shoulder, eyes sad.]


Or we can just find another quiet spot somewhere else. It's up to you.

[Izuku might have lost someone, but he knows this will hit Minato harder. Unlike Izuku, Minato doesn't have a way home, doesn't have a way to see his friends again, even if they're all sent back in the end.]

Checking on you. Wondering what the hell you're doing. The usual.

[...so the appropriate response to finding someone you consider a friend thinking about doing something dangerous is probably to stop them. Ask them to reconsider, something like that.

Ryan, meanwhile, pauses next to him, glancing between Minato and the woods curiously for a moment before he speaks up.]


You know, I hear you're likely to get scolded for going in there alone-- but if it's both of us then we can say you took precautions, yeah?

[ oh! well, this is... ]

Well, I can't say no to a slice of pie. It... it doesn't have anything odd about it I hope?

[ not that she thinks he would do anything intentionally of ill will, but the festival they just went through has her on guard when it comes to food. in general. ]

[ That's ... kind of a weird answer? Jion gives a confused tilt of the head, dog-like. Sure, Minato is usually a little weird, but this feels like a different flavor of weird. ]

Oh, no, it's okay! I wasn't doing anything urgent, just cleaning up a bit, you're fine.

[ A sheepish laugh as he swipes some damp hair off his brow. ]

Um, d'you wanna come in? I don't have anything as fancy as pie, but if you wanted to take a break, I have stuff! I'd feel a little bad just taking that without at least offering.

[and then here's gandharva, popping up regardless of whether he's wanted or not.]

Well, aren't you looking more lethargic than usual.

[...It's a bad idea. What she should be doing is calling for backup. Kaoru, or Izuku or someone who could punch their way out of the forest if needed.]



...Well. If we go together, then you won't be alone, right? [She knows it would be easier if she just reached out and touched him. But he's her friend and she won't. His thoughts are his own.]

[Sup, Minato. Know that Okuyasu already has a hand out and on the plate or whatever this pie is carried in before he actually stops to think about the wisdom of taking a foreign pie just because it's there. Like, it's not Minato, but what if Mr. F made Minato into a shady pie seller for a week or something...?!

How would he know?!]


Yo, this ain't gonna make me weird, is it?

[That is definitely apple, and he's seen what apples do to people. And upon closer inspection of Minato himself...]

You kinda look like shit, dude.
