Who's going to the Halloween party?

Itsuki, you should come so you can meet Naoto-kun.

Itsuki, I went grocery shopping today. I thought I'd make onigiri and seaweed salad since I didn't get you any frozen dinners... You like seaweed, right?

Minato spent his time on the train to Inaba gearing up his courage. It didn't take long, actually; the Shadows reappearing on the community had the added effect of bringing him in mind of that fateful year, and Minato as a leader never doubted himself. This was the right choice, telling Naoto-kun. It was just cowardly to keep things from him ( Read more... )

Captain Harkness, can I talk to you?

[Locked to S.E.E.S members, including Kaworu and Asuka]I know we've disbanded, but Shadows have started cropping up again. Shinjiro-senpai said they were at Torchwood once, and now with all the kidnappings in Inaba, they might be related. In any case, something's going on. I think we should be on the look out.

[Crackling of static before the sound of tentative strings. It's not exactly clear what's going on - a note flubbed here and there, abrupt starts and stops; it's Minato tuning his viola.

There's nothing but quiet breathing. It's slow, deep. It has the indefinable quality of weariness. And then the first opening strains of Bach's Prelude No. 1 ( Read more... )

So, it's occurred to me that DDD is in need of a new taxi character, and I thought I'd volunteer Minato for that if anyone has need. Basically, if your character needs a worldhop, you're probably safe to assume that Minato gave it to them - definitely if he's friends with you. There are a few characters that he wouldn't, just because he's a moral ( Read more... )

[It was some days after Ivan's post that it occurred to Minato that he might not be posting simply because he couldn't. So, armed with a laptop - something that had cost him the last of his funds from his job with Kanzeon, who had disappeared from the community, a fact he in turn had kept from his friends - he made his way to Stalingrad ( Read more... )

I want to see them again.

I want to... ... ...

... I can't.

Kanzeon, I might need to take a couple days off of work. There's something I need to take care of.

Ivan, I got you an mp3 player but I'm not sure what kind of music you'd like on it. I can always change it for you later, but giving you just classical seems limiting...

Ryoji... whatever you want to do about the situation, I'm behind you.

[Much as Minato tried to be calm and at ease at all times, family still gave him pause. He didn't want to strain his tenuous link with... Naoto, not Naoko - by detailing the way the community worked. Ordinarily, it wouldn't have bothered him if she didn't believe what he said; but here, now, after everything that had happened, family was beginning ( Read more... )
