7th Persona, backdated to yesterday

[doudemoe]

 [Action 1]

[Sometime after school, Minato is on his way home...but not in the usual direction.]

[Instead, he first heads to the general store, coming out with a small paper bag. Seems he blew his part-time money on candy, like a typical teenage boy....except typical teenagers don't stop by the allyway to eat it. What's he doing?]

[Whatever it is,

[ He doesn't know who Mitsuru-senpai is. ]

I was going to suggest the same thing.

...And I'm sorry for your loss.

[doudemoe]

[Poor Souji, you missed out on meeting a hot redhead.]

Haha. Seems our minds had the same idea.

Hnn....when did you want the meeting?

[inababanchou]

[ He did miss out, but he'll be glad that he didn't get to experience any live EXECUTIONS. ]

I want to meet later this weekend or early next week at 768 Bunker Street.

...

Have some of your friends arrived in Mayfield recently?

[doudemoe]

Alright. I'll spread the word to the others.

Hnn. Aigis did.

[inababanchou]

... She can summon Persona too, right?

A few of mine did as well. They too can summon Persona.

[doudemoe]

Yes. Not right now, of course.

Really? That's convenient.

[inababanchou]

It's nice to see them again, but I don't like this trend. I wish it were just me.

[doudemoe]

There's little we can do about that. Our highest priority right now is to keep everyone safe, and escape together.

[inababanchou]

Right.

[ He reflects momentarily on how his not!bro Aaron has already died, and his interaction with the murdering-frenzy Black Mage. ]

...Should we use a buddy-system?

[doudemoe]

? Could that work? Our houses are all spaced apart.

[inababanchou]

Nights at home will be tricky, but since we are all going to school together we should stick together during the daytime and after school as much as possible. I've been here for over a month and I've learned to be wary of other people as much as our captors. [ Is there a twinge of regret in his voice? ]

[ Another small pause. ]

We can handle some things on our own, but I don't want to test the nuances of death in Mayfield. There are six including myself from Inaba. How many of your friends are here?

[doudemoe]

[It doesn't go unnoticed by Minato, but he thinks better than to ask. Everyone has their burdens to shoulder.] About 4 of us, including Senpai. But Elizabeth doesn't attend school, so if one of us pairs up with her I don't know how we can work out a proper schedule.

[inababanchou]

One of my acquaintances has a job too. I think we should try to accommodate as best as we can without risking getting droned.

... A rotating buddy-system might be nice, too.

What do you think of this buddy-idea, Minato? Keep or scrap?

[doudemoe]

[A rotating buddy system.]

It could work. We just need to discuss details with the other team members.

I do have another question.

[inababanchou]

Fire away.

[doudemoe]

Why are we not having the meeting at your house? Why Tohru-san's?
