[Oddly enough, Minami didn't seem to be frightened or angry about Yosuke almost crashing into a pole. If anything... it had the opposite effect, which was evident from how she bounced giddily once she hopped off the bike. She's robably the type that enjoyed roller coasters with lots of sharp turns and loops.]

Wooooaaahohoho! That was soooo FUN!

[And her slightly unsettling upbeatness continues at the mention and scent of steak. STEAK! MEAT! PROTEIN! One of her favorite foods, though in all fariness... everything has potential to be her favorite food. Unfortunately, her focus is just on that one word, and the joke is lost into the void of negligence.]

Is it really okay that you're treating me?! There's no chickening out once we go through those doors!

[derpsona]

[Well, she was a little spacy, but for some reason, that just made her cuter, far as he was concerned. He smiled right back, her enthusiasm only serving to reassure him. She was like some sort of anti-Chie, in a way.]

Don't worry, I should be set through next week. [Which, unbeknownst to him, now meant he was merely set through Friday. Like the true gentleman he wasn't at all, but was more than willing to pretend to be to impress a girl, he held open the door for Minami.] Ladies first!

[letalis_anima]

[Well, how polite he was! Minami grinned at the gentlemanly gesture. Yosuke is your date! Yosuke will now DIE FOR YOU.]

Alrighty then, thanks! Chaaaarge~

[And she'll just goooo through the door, with a little spring in her step.]

[derpsona]

[And charge he will, but we'll worry about that later. For now, they're taken to a booth over by the window, their waitress asking what they'd like to drink while she's there.]

I'll have a Coke. No ice, if that's not too much trouble.

[Not at all, of course, was the reply. If NPCs were good for anything, it was definitely the service. As she asks Minami the same question, Yosuke stretches out his arms and makes himself comfortable.]

[letalis_anima]

Oh! Strawberry soda for me, please.

[It's good to having something sweet to go with the savoriness of steak, after all! She glances at the window for the moment, and takes in the modest view. Minami then returned her attention to Yosuke.]

So, uh... It just occurred to me, but I actually don't know much about you.

[Like, whoops.]

[derpsona]

[He lets out a nervous laugh.]

Well, if it makes you feel better, that makes two of us. I didn't even know Arisato had a sister until you told me. But then, all that means is this is a good opportunity to find out, right?

[letalis_anima]

Yeah, you're right!

[She brings a finger to her chin as she thinks about it for a moment.]

Hmmm... So what are your hobbies, Hanamura-kun? Anything you like to do in particular?

[derpsona]

Oh, y'know, typical stuff. Collecting MP3s, playing video games, biking, saving the world from shadows, that kinda thing.

[He says that last one in such a way that it sounds like sarcasm, but with Minami, who knows if she'd pick up on that even if she didn't know what shadows were?]

Alright, your turn! What kinda stuff are you into?

[letalis_anima]

Oh, cool! We have a lot of stuff in common.

[She ponders for a moment, as she tries to recalls the things she likes.]

Mmmm, let's see... I enjoy listening to music, some video games, shopping, cooking, sewing, and beating the crap out of Shadows, too---Wait.

[Something's not right here. Processing, please wait...]

That's, like, not supposed to be typical?

[derpsona]

Well, no, that's not... wait, why would... how does that...

[The look on his face somehow seems to grow more and more baffled as he speaks.]

Hold on, you didn't automatically assume I was making shit up?

[letalis_anima]

Y-You mean you made it up?!

[CRAP. Mitsuru said not to say anything about it to normal people!]

[derpsona]

No, people just usually think I do! How do you even know what I'm talking about?

[He keeps his voice down, desperately hoping not to be overheard. How does she know about shadows?]

...You don't have a Persona, too, do you?

[letalis_anima]

[Oh? Was it secretive time? Minami takes her volume down a notch too.]

Um, well, I don't think it's accurate to say I have just one...

[derpsona]

[More than one? What, did she mean two, or was this like Souji's thing where he had like over 9000 or something?]

So, you've been in the TV world, too, then?

[letalis_anima]

[She tilted her head in confusion.]

T... V... World...? Is that some sort of code for the Dark Hour...?

[derpsona]

...No, it's exactly what it sounds like. What's the Dark Hour? [Alright, you lost him.]
