1/11 training and breakfast

[ As last minute prep for the dungeon, everybody has been called to get together for a training session during midnight at Lockdown, with promise of a light breakfast at the clubhouse afterwards and the suggestion that people take it easy during the day before they split up into their respective teams and head to the castle and the mountains.

Training is largely done in the school shrine, on the second floor where there's wide empty space without the maze to account for, where you can practice tactics together, or take on the Minato challenge where he has Messiah blast you apart in half a second and then immediately heals you and asks if you want to go again.

Breakfast at the clubhouse is split between western and traditional styles, whether you crave fluffy pancakes, or are more of a miso soup and grilled fish on rice sort of person. If you want anything in particular for lunch, Kido is on lunch duty and promises to make whatever you want, so long as you go out to the store and bring the ingredients back.

Thanks to everybody's efforts so far during the month, whether it's interacting with the townspeople or talking with the mayor or donating gemstones to the mountain shrine, the effects can already be seen around town, with the townspeople less wary of the Persona users, allowing them to purchase what they want in the stores if they want to have their own supplies to take into the dungeon later.

Now go out there and get along and learn to work together or is2g ]

I'm... as ready as I can be.

[He's aware of his limitations in many things, but he will do his best.]

Joroko's okay. We're not like exactly in sync yet, but she's helping with the psychic link and I trust her to do what I'd want if I can't make the decision myself at the time.

[But then he'll try to burn his omamori and she'll be pissed.]

[Toki rubs idly at the spot where the flute hit.]

Ala?

[He finds the overturned chair and can piece together what happened.]

It was good, I guess? What's making the noise?

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-01-23 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[That seems conflicting to Toki. Keeping relationships, yet it being okay to choose himself over them. It's what he'd done at Daybreak with Kano, and would have with Jolyne later on in the timeline. Choosing himself over everything else. But in doing that, all he had left was broken relationships and an offer of a room at Ramona's inn.

If he knew this, he wouldn't choose himself now. But this Toki only knows about Kano. When Toki ditching his most cherished relationship was a one time incident. Before it became a pattern. This Toki will again choose himself, no matter what happens to anyone else. He'll fight for his own happy ending.]


It's fair.

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Hhhh.]

Not sick. ...Maybe a little nervous, though.
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] next stop.”)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Ala, that's weirdly insightful and he's not sure what to make of it.]

...Maybe the first one? I don't know what the best way to help is.

[He just doesn't seem to have a very good skillset for dealing with... anything.]
not_that_sasuke: ([Annoyed] This might be)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Not the whole time. I just... wanted to see how everyone else fights.
not_that_sasuke: ([Help] fun once)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Ala how could you. He's startled for a second, but relaxes again once he sees who it is.]

Er... no, it's not that. I just wanted to see how the others fight.

Mmhm! It's a flute. Do you know how to play?

[ She slides the flute into Toki's hands— pulls it out and turns it around the other way so Toki would be blowing into the right end- and moves his fingers onto some of the holes. ]

I'm borrowing this from Master Wei, but I bet he'll be okay letting you play with it too!

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-23 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Choose the right relationships, aka definitely ditch Kano, and there's always picking and choosing depending on the situation. Ala pats Toki on the arm, because she has no idea what bad ideas are brewing right now; she just likes the look of determination on his face. ]

Yep, it's fair~ Does this make things clearer about your question?

[personal profile] cicadashell 2020-01-23 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, okay.

[That's a good reason, and Jiro has nothing else to say. He's gotten even worse at talking to people, it seems.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-01-23 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Master who?

[He's dubbed Wei Wuxian "Hana-chan" because his name was hard to pronounce. The flute's in his hands now, and Toki leaves his fingers where Ala positioned them. He isn't musically inclined and has never played any sort of instrument. He blows into the end of it with as much force as his screams.]
toybombs: ([Look] deny; ignite; and)

[personal profile] toybombs 2020-01-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. If you or Terry were turned against us, we'd definitely struggle.

Were you able to get many supplies?
toybombs: ([Smile] from this circle)

[personal profile] toybombs 2020-01-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Smiling.]

Most of the people who want to stay are probably your family though, aren't they?
toybombs: ([Angy] I'm storming)

[personal profile] toybombs 2020-01-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Taking it back wordlessly.

Bye.

toybombs: ([Look] God)

[personal profile] toybombs 2020-01-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? No. But I had to learn from a young age, so it was explained very clearly to me at the time.

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-23 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe~ I have the same question, so we can ask them together~

[ She can be insightful sometimes, and this time it's because she's the same way. Yeah, she's a Persona, but without a host, she shifted from being able to fight using all sorts of elemental spells, to having a skillset that only serves to protect herself and herself only.

She's not too bothered, though, giving herself the time to figure it out. But Sasuke probably feels the pressure of time more than she does, so she flips over the first card he chose and looks down at it. ]


...The upright Tower! [ haha! ] It's the disaster card! One that says everything is a complete and utter mess, but as the first card, it represents the past. Asking how to get stronger, and feeling really lost, it's 'cause you're looking at how things were before and all you can see is disaster, right?

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-01-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, but it's all been good advice~!

[Toki hasn't equated anything Ala's said to his original question in particular. As best as he's gathered, the cards told him to take anything he wants right now because he might not get to later. Maybe because he'll relapse, maybe because he'll die, maybe because the world and all worlds will end.]

[ If she were Minato, Minato would have karate chopped Sasuke on the back of the neck to demonstrate that standing around in a daze means he'll be dead. ]

Hm? You've been here for a while, though, right? I watch the Boss fight sometimes, but not many others- but I'd thought you'd be very familiar with how everybody fights already?
parhellia: (pic#13735377)

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. Well, that's exactly what he should do. Live his best life while he's still alive. ]

Ah well, the advice is the most important part! The question's just a springboard to learn more important things~ Do you want advice for something else? We can play again, or I can teach you how to read the cards!

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[At least he was off his case pretty quickly.]

...What fighting style do you prefer most, anyway?
not_that_sasuke: ([Fight] as if my)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[D-Disaster card... He's got a bad feeling about this, but he just nods.]

And the next one?
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] closely and start)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2020-01-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[But he's not, it's fine!!]

I do, but... I never really looked at how they did it.

I was thinking that maybe I should change the way I fight.
parhellia: (pic#13735356)

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Master Wei—AAHHH!!

[ She covers her ears when Toki blows into the flute, and then quickly pulls it away from his mouth so he'll stop. ]

Not like that! You gotta blow softer, like blowing hot soup! If you blow too hard, you're gonna lose all your soup!
parhellia: (pic#13735355)

[personal profile] parhellia 2020-01-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh, so you had a good teacher. A teacher's like a Host-- a good one means you turn out well too! You sure got your work cut out for you, with these guys, but don't give up~

[ Unless they walk away like Jiro did, but you can't force people to learn, even if it's unfortunate. ]

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-01-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Teach me!

[So he can tell fortunes to the townspeople that make the pilgrimage to his and Rei's mountain house, which will undoubtedly look more like a tent.]
