[Somehow Shinjiro managed to ignore the newcomers yelling all over the comms. Not that he was sleeping anyway, and it shows. in fact he looks even more like hell then he does normally. He opens his mouth to say something, closes it, then tries again.]

Drank too much, sleeping in. Mustang, can someone take my shift tonight?

Sure, I'll see if there's anybody up for it.

[Half-smile.] Had fun?

[adiosasshole]

[He stares at the screen for a long moment, and it really looks like he actually had the pure antithesis of fun. Eventually he manages a smile that looks distinctly unhealthy.]

Sure. had a blast. Decent food.

[Blinks.]

Doesn't sound like it. Something up, beyond the hangover?

[1/idk. A few?][video]

[Minako's sat in one of the chairs in the waiting room of the clinic, occasionally glancing back and forth between something off screen and the communicator.]

[1/3!][video]

[3/3 /o/][video]

... You should try and get some sleep, Senpai.

[Because is entirely not awkward. Not at all.]

[Shinjiro doesn't say anything at first, instead fiddling with the watch around his wrist.]

Don't worry about it. I'm fine.

[Shinjiro had no idea where he was going, only that he wanted to go away. Guilt about what he said to Minako mixed with the old sour guilt already stewing in his gut and made him feel sick, trapped, caged in and desperate. And when that happened he always ran.

In the end he ended up in another alleyway, just like home, hands deep in his coat pocket and head thumping hard against the brick wall. Stupid stupid. But right then he couldn't bring himself to go back and apologize. All he wanted was to be alone.]

[action] 1/2 LMFAO I get to use this icon already.

[Oh, this sun is so bright! She doesn't think it's creepy at all, but she's glad that at least something reminds her of home. She's out enjoying it! At least, she is until she comes across a human banging his head on the wall, at which point she just stops. And stares. She's... pretty sure that's not normal.]

[action] 2/2

[wantrainbowwine]

[So she'll go over to him and tug on his coat, just above his wrist. Protip - she probably comes up to about his stomach.]

Excuse me. I believe carrying on in that manner will only serve to prove detrimental to your well-being.

[A little later. Minato's got his headphones on and his hands are in his pockets. He'd look disaffected and distant, but his eyes are definitely on you, Aragaki-senpai. He's also heading your way... slowly. No rush.]

[adiosasshole]

[Shinji doesn't notice him at first: after all, he's still pretty much a stranger. But then that vague familiarity kicks in and he pauses]

...so you're that other Arisato, right?

[arisatominato]

[The music's a bit loud, but he's learned to read lips well enough to survive the initial few seconds before the headphones slip off. Enough to know to nod and enough to know how to respond.]

We met briefly in another version of the world.

[adiosasshole]

[Shinjiro stares at him for a long moment, as if looking for something. There's something familiar about Minato: he and Minako don't seem like, except...]

...the alley, I guess. Unless things are a lot more different then just Minako.
