[January Catch-All]

[messianic]

WHO: Minato and queeeests
WHERE: Everywhere!
WHEN: January
WHAT: Quests, probably other things, there's an open prompt for demon-hunting in here

[Minato's definitely hanging around the edge of the woods, and if he sees someone heading that way--]

Are you...heading out there to try to fight the demons?

[A small frown!]

... You shouldn't go alone.

[Or you can just come harass him for demon-hunting, he's here for it.]

[Hit me up via PM or kalisona for a customized prompt!]

Comments

Noct - Demon-hunting

[messianic]

[It doesn't take Minato long to shoot Noctis a message over the forum--and then he'll wait for Noct at the edge of the woods. After all, he knows Noct is pretty good with his abilities...and that Noct and Prompto have demons back home (right?).

This seems like a pretty good opportunity to get it done together.

So he just taps the toe of his shoe against the ground as he waits, peacefully.]

[nascere]

[ Noctis comes by less than a minute after, thrilled to have Minato partnering up with him to hunt demons -- and he's pretty interested in what Minato can do, too, considering the last time they'd fought together and Minato had shot himself in the head and all that.

He's smiling when he sees him, jogging up to his friend. ]

Hey. You're looking good.

[messianic]

[Minato just offers him a casual thumbs up in response.]

Thanks, you too. It's good to see you.

[Even though it feels like they only get together to beat up monsters... hm, weird trend. Oh well, no big deal.]

How've you been lately, anyway?

[nascere]

[ it's ok, one day they'll have nap playdates and it'll be the best thing ever. he's falling into step beside him, contemplating that question -- it's not like anyone to ask how he is, so to hear that kind of question warrants just that little bit more thought. ]

Could be better. [ he shrugs lightly. ] Could be worse. What about you? What's new?

Percy - Power-swap

[messianic]

[Percy's getting a forum message (a casual Want to try that power swap quest?), and then here's Minato, heading on over to knock at his door.

KNOCK KNOCK, PERCY.]

[expulsions]

[How else would you approach this other than casually? Percy immediately opens the door, a half-grin in place as soon as he sees Minato.]

Hey dude. [Give him a second to ponder.] Think we should take this outside?

[messianic]

Yeah, probably.

[It seems less messy that way? Just in case something goes weird and wrong. Has Minato explained to Percy yet about the Evoker? Oh well.]

So I guess...we just have to try to swap powers, probably. Weird things like this usually work when it's a quest.

Shiho - Power-swap

[messianic]

[Yeah, Shiho is just getting a forum message from a familiar color:]

Hey, Shiho-chan, I have kind of a weird question but... do you want to know a bit more about me and my Personas?

[good_ideas]

hi minato-kun
unless the persona thing means something different than it normally does, does this really count as a weird question?

just kidding
this is for the quest right?
i'd like to know more
and i guess you can learn about psychometry too

[messianic]

Yeah, for the quest. If you're up for it, we could swap. I feel like it'd be interesting to get to know a bit better what we can both do, you know?

[he thinks so now, anyway, but he has no idea.]

Where do you want to meet?

Jion - Power-swap

[messianic]

[Jion, on the other hand, is someone Minato's going to just casually bump into while they're wandering around town--but he blinks when he does, tilting his head.]

Jion-san, hey.

[A beat.]

Do you have something on your mind?

[Like, perhaps, a quest?]

[organfarm]

Huh?

[ He's been thinking about ... nothing. Absolutely nothing. He was just totally spacing out. And it's obvious in the way he looks ever so slightly panicked for a moment. Is there something important he should have been thinking about? Been considering? ]

Uhhhhhhhhhhm. [ A slightly nervous chew at his lip before he takes a stab: ] I was thinking about the, uh ... quests?

[messianic]

[You nailed it, Jion, that was fabulous.

Minato just nods, because that seems totally reasonable to him. The quests just happened, so of course Jion's thinking about them!!

(Clueless.)]

Oh, yeah? Did any of them catch your eye?

Okuni - frog smooching

[messianic]

[Minato was honestly just minding his own business.

Living the dream.

Existing.

When suddenly, he is a frog. Naturally this is very alarming and uncomfortable, but eventually Minato is just left a pile of sleepy frog, snoozing tucked against a wall. Seems like he got over the frog thing, or decided he would turn back eventually.

Help, Okuni.]

aka minato never gets the rest he deserves

[osuni]

[LET MINATO THE FROG REST, GOD KNOWS HE DESERVES IT!!!

instead of that happening, Okuni materializes out of the shadows like the evil she inherently is, reaching down to scoop up snoozing Minato the frog.]

My, it didn't take long to find you at all. [she gives him an APPROVING PAT for making Okuni's day that much easier, apparently...] I wish all people turned frogs were like you!

[HELLO

MINATO]

correct, as it should be

[messianic]

[Oh god.

Suddenly he is scooped right on up by Okuni, and he blinks but doesn't even really bother squirming. Does Minato even have self-preservation issues? We just don't know.

HELLO

OKUNI.

There's now a sleepy frog flopped in her hand.]

Maya - fairy godmother

[messianic]

[Uhhh...]

Are you sure about this, Maya-nee?

[He's glad she's so gung-ho about it, but he is Concerned.

Understandably. Probably.]

[scooptimistic]

Sure I'm sure! Don't you trust me?

[ Hmm. ]

[messianic]

... Is that a trick question...?

[hrm]

Of course I trust you.

[But Still.]

Ryan - Fairy godmother

[messianic]

[For this one, they are just... hanging out.

Minato has no idea Ryan's obtained some new strength or anything--he's just chill and content to hang out with him.]

There's someone I'd like for you to meet at some point, Ryan-san.

[Just...!! Casual conversation.]

[averagemedium]

There is-?

[That gets Ryan's attention easily enough, blinking over at him as he props himself up on his elbows-- he'd been getting comfortable, casually sprawled out on his bed.]

Did someone you know show up, did you get a new roommate? C'mon, spill.

[messianic]

You could say...that someone who was my roommate here before came back, actually.

[He shrugs a little, and offers up quite blandly:]

She died back home as well, and she can be kind of abrasive... but she has a good heart, and she needs more friends. So I think you'd be good for her.

[neronian]

[ Nero stops at the edge of the forest when Minato speaks up. It's true that she's not a blue, far from it, but she couldn't afford to let her skills get rusty, and she's not keen on the thought of demons lurking in the forest either. She looks at him. ]

...Is that a warning, or an unsubtle plea for me to take you along?

[messianic]

[He shouldn't even be surprised that of all people, Nero is pretty okay with charging into the woods to tackle demons. Just from what he knows of her, that seems to fit...

It's fine, probably.

He tilts his head.]

No, it's definitely a warning... though I guess if you're determined to go, I'll come along.

The woods are just way too dangerous alone.

[neronian]

[ She sizes up Minato for a few moments, hands on her hips (she doesn't seem to be carrying a weapon, but he's seen her Aestus Estus before in that ice palace, so it shouldn't be cause for concern). Then, she nods. It's true that there's power in numbers for an unknown situation. Whether one is exploring a new Singularity, a new floor in the Labyrinth of the Moon Cell, or these uncharted forests, the principles of battle remain the same. ]

Very well. I will not turn down your assistance. Are you able to hold your own, or are you practically a helpless babe?

[ If he were a magus (or similar), it'd make things easier. Just saying. ]
