[open] 9/8 hirajiro mystery gang

[reveilation]

[ You know what? Now's a good a time for this as any. When the Attendants send the call out to everybody on 9/4, Kido takes advantage of everybody being together to give them the address to the house she, Terry, and Rei are staying at, and asks them to meet there on 9/8 at noon if they're able to make it.

The original point of a meeting was to recruit for a gang, but with shit going down and people disappearing and personalities splitting off, it's turned into Kido needing to reach out to anybody who's a Persona user and consolidate everything that they know about everything. Personas. Shadows. The town itself. Anything.

If you're directionally challenged, it'll be easy to spot the house on Sunday afternoon because it's the only house on the block with two dozen crows perched on every inch of roof and telephone line there is around the house, and a five meter wide spider crab hanging around on the front yard, its front pincers bound so it can't snap at anybody, but it still scuttles around irately. ]

Sorry about the lack of furniture... Take a seat where you can find space, either on the couch or the floor. There's rice, miso soup, and gyudon in the kitchen if you're hungry; go ahead and help yourselves. We've got lots to talk about today.

...Can't say the same 'bout Seta, but I trust Arisato to a certain extent. ...You two should prolly be careful of 'im tho'.

[ He's seen how Arisato talked to Jessica (his... motorbike) and he was petrified. He still is. ]

[flowerclips]

Be careful? Why?

[trabryu]

He's a fuckin' flirt!!

[ Like, Terry is too to a certain extent (???) but it's different and Mondo is biased anyway. ]

Especially ya, Rei! He looks like a sheep outside but he's a wolf inside, y'know?!

[overstrain]

[ He wishes he could back them up but they say the most questionable shit even after he told them they were married, so he'll just nibble on some dried squid in silence for a while before speaking up. ]

I don't think... they're serious. Probably.

[trabryu]

[ "Probably", huh. Mondo just flashbacks to that one time Arisato caresses Jessica... ]

Even if there's the smallest probability it's no good!! If they lay a finger on Rei... Imma break all ten of their fingers. Twenty.

[ Hi Mondo's overprotective oniichan mode is on, nbd. ]

[overstrain]

[ ... ... ... ]

Did they flirt with you, Mondo?

[ Is that why he's so worked up. ]

[flowerclips]

[ rei makes the biggest gasp. ]

Is that true, Mo-chan? Did they flirt with you?

[ scanadlous... ]

[claytools]

Whoa.

[Enkidu says this so dryly, but they're looking at Mondo too.]

Mondo doesn't want anyone near them so he has them for himself...

[trabryu]

Not me!!

[ Seta was kinda weird, but that wasn't flirting, he's pretty sure. Then again he can't say that he's mad Arisato's flirting with his motorbike...

Wait, no, why is Enkidu joining them?! ]

No!!! Like hell I wanna even get close to those sketchy dudes!!! E, Enkidu, you really think that?!

[claytools]

[ ... ]

[Enkidu giggles.]

No, I wanted to see your face.

[flowerclips]

[ she giggles along with enkidu. mondo's funny when he's all flustered like that. ]

Is Mo-chan embarrassed?

[overstrain]

[ Terry doesn't giggle but it sure is fun to tease Mondo. ]

Nothing wrong with that, Mondo.

[trabryu]

[ Why this!! ]

Shut up! Le- Let's get the topic back on track!! Uh... [ Let's see... ] So what're your involvements with them so far?

[overstrain]

Involvements, huh...

[ Thinking back, he did a lot with the Attendants, but it's not really things he wants to talk about in full detail. ]

I took them out.

[ terry: hey let me take you guys out
souji: do you mean the outing or murder kind
minato: surprise me ]

[reveilation]

Should have done that permanently.

[ Go back and murder them properly, Terry ]

[overstrain]

But I did?!

[ Just... not the murdering kind...... ]

[reveilation]

Hmm... I guess it's just as well. Kind of sad, when Souji needs to pay somebody to hang out with him.

[ She saw Souji's quest for this month. The kindness behind it went over her head and she just thinks it's sad. ]

[overstrain]

I don't think that was the point though...

[ ??? Kido? Technically, by this time, Terry would have completed it already. ]

[reveilation]

Then what? They have each other, and can go out by themselves.

[ They ditched us all to go camping; they're perfectly capable of going out for a night in town. ]

[flowerclips]

Maybe Leader's just lonely and wants new friends?

[ which is... still sad. ]

[reveilation]

[ Sad... ]

I guess... He should have some confidence in himself. I bet he'll naturally make friends perfectly fine without resorting to that sort of thing.

[flowerclips]

Hmm, maybe he's shy... you should spend time with him, neechan!

[ yeah, come take souji out somewhere. ]

[reveilation]

He is not shy.

[ Souji is the opposite of shy, you know this, Rei. Kido probably should take him out before she dies, though, because after that, she won't want anything to do with anything ever again. ]

You know him better than I do. What sort of places would he like, anyways?

[flowerclips]

[ she thinks. hmm, what sort of places would he like? it's not like the school had a lot of places for him to explore. ]

Umm... shopping? He took care of everyone's equipment and bought food for people.

[ ... she can't really think about anything else. ]

I only met him at a school so I didn't go to a lot of places with him.

[reveilation]

That makes him sound like a lackey, not that he enjoyed doing it...

[ You know, like those group of "friends" but everybody is a bully and makes one person carry all the bags and buy everybody lunches, Souji sounds like one of those poor bullied kids. Schools suck. ]

He was your senpai?
