/TOTALLY FIRST YEP >>;;;;;

[lunateclock]

[...Yeah, okay, seeing someone new covered in blood is rather unusual even for him. She seems alright, but--]

Seafood would be free here, but...Are you all right?

THIS ICON ISN'T EVEN EXCITED ENOUGH

[dualpinkpistols]

... All the better. Come on!

[ MARCHING IN. You following bro? HER STOMACH IS MORE IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW, OKAY? ]

WHOO EXCITEMENT

[lunateclock]

[...Wat.

...He is curious, though. Besides, she said 'come on'; who is he to refuse? And so he follows, looking around the small seafood restaurant for her.]

She is the epitome of excitement

[dualpinkpistols]

[ She's sitting at a table, smiling. Not caring about the looks she gets--she pats the seat next to her. ]

Over here. Why don't you sit down with me?

She is. Poor Minato has no idea.

[lunateclock]

[...why not? After all, it'd be rude to turn down a blunt invitation.]

You're new here, aren't you? You've...taken it very well.

[He says this even as he sits, of course.]

... |D HE WILL.

[dualpinkpistols]

[ She smiles. ]

No use panicking, right? "Let's think positive!" Besides, it's not like I've got much to worry about now, anyway.

...AWESOME

[lunateclock]

[...She's a pretty cool lady, he has to admit that. Except. "Not much to worry about now"? For some reason, that sets off warning bells.]

I'm sorry, but...Do you mind if I ask what you mean by that?

<333

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ... Ah. ]

... You're telling me this isn't some really bad, aquatic afterlife?

[lunateclock]

[...ahh. As he thought.]

Not exactly, no. Some others...were killed before they arrived here. But most arrive from when they are still alive.

[He takes it calmly, at least?]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ Well. That's good. ]

Well... then if that's settled, I really hope you don't mind? I haven't eaten all day.

[ Death is exhausting. Who knew? ]

Haha, I never thought I'd be making my own headlines. "Maiyan oracle fulfilled; the world ends." I wonder if they're alright...

[lunateclock]

[The waiter comes and takes their orders and heads out. And Minato is quiet for a long moment, just looking at this new, rather unusual and apparently dead woman.]

...Friends of yours?

[dualpinkpistols]

O-oh, look at me, being so depressing! Right... "Think Positive!" I'm sure they're fine!

[ She smiles. ] You could say that! It was a real trip! But... I knew they were good kids from the start.

[lunateclock]

It's understandable, though. I worry about the people I care about who are back home as well, but...we have to have faith that they'll pull through.

[...a slight smile at that, and a nod.]

It sounds like you did a good job of looking out for them.

[dualpinkpistols]

... You're a good kid too, you know? Artemis tells me so.

[ She refuses to let herself be down. ]

It's not often I've run into other Persona users. I wonder what the odds were? On the subject--I'm Maya Amano! Nice to meet you!

[lunateclock]

[...Huh. He's a little surprised, both that she has a Persona, that she can sense his, and that she would speak about it so candidly--]

It's nice to meet you too, Amano-san. My name's Minato Arisato.

[A thoughtful pause.]

You can sense my Persona, then?

[dualpinkpistols]

Of course. You mean you couldn't tell I had my own, Minato-kun? You seem a little surprised.
