[open] 11/9 hirajiro mystery gang

[ Over the past week and a half, either Kido or Akira have been going around asking Persona users to attend a meeting at noon on the 9th, with the meeting place being the first floor of the castle in the forest. People who Kido thinks will require dragging to the castle, she makes sure to find and drag over, since she wants everybody to be there in order to share their thoughts and get everybody on the same page. It's rare that everybody comes together like this, so she wants to make the most of it.

There isn't much in the way of furniture and the fridge in the Velvet Room is broken, so Kido can't rely on the kitchen to cook unending gyudon like she did last time. She'd stuck her head into the train this morning and saw something she really didn't need to see, so everybody else is also banned from entering the Velvet Room until the meeting is concluded. Instead, blankets are laid out on the ground and there's a stack of bento boxes which will be easy to eat while sitting outside. There's around three times as many bentos as the number of people, since she knows there's people who'd want seconds (or thirds or fourths or fourteenths... there's a limited amount this time, so no eating contests!!) and if there are any left over, people can take them home. ]


Is everybody settled? Food is on the throne over there, and there's barley tea and cups on the ground next to it, so eat up. Feel free to go back and get more if you're still hungry, but wait until everybody has the chance to get one first. When you're finished, put the box and chopsticks into the bag in the corner so I can wash them later. The cats have their own food, so do not feed the cats anything from the bento. If I catch you, you're not eating for the rest of the meeting.

[ She can't be sure if there's anything in the boxes that might be bad for cats, so it's a blanket ban, sorry cats... There are quite a few in the area, though, including Kano and Shiro. Kano especially does not get food. ]

Now, the first thing we need to talk about...

[ There are a few topics she wants to make sure they discuss, and then the floor is open for anything else people want to bring up, whether it's plot clues, mysteries people are looking into, general questions to bring up to the group, etc. Feel free to post a new toplevel for each new topic to discuss. Since it's a large open mingle, there may be threadjacking.

Also as a reminder, this month the reward for request 12 (two threads with fourth wall characters) is a plot clue in the form of a direct answer to any question your character may have. If there's something that comes up in the discussion that the characters are unsure of and think the Attendants might know (it's possible they might not), it's an option for getting those questions answered. ]

[ no, don't say "sorry, rei". just share it with her. the moment that she heard something about finishing everything and wasting food, she immediately appears out of thin air. this is a good way for her to meet jiro. ]

Oh, I'll eat it if you don't want it!

[ she will interrupt your spite for a moment. ]

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jiro just stares at her. Where the fuck did she come from?]

Uh.

[He doesn't really want all of this, and it's fine if the end result is the same: no food for Kano. It's childish and he knows it, but he doesn't care. Jiro picks a few things out of one bento box, and dumps what he doesn't want from the second box into into what's left of the first. He hands the disorganized bento of unappetizing things to Rei.]

Have at it.
flowerclips: ((っ˘ڡ˘ς))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, mister!

[ she came from the void because free food. :9 anyway, she'll take the bento without a second glance and literally inhale its contents. she barely chews as she eats all the leftovers in record time. ahhh, this is the best. ]

Delicious!

[ she'll then set down the box. ]

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jiro's only taken two bites in the time Rei's eaten the entire bento. He gives her the other one too.]

Where do you think the door goes?

[Kido can leave that discussion until the end of the meeting, but he thinks they're all stupid for believing it will take them home and he's going to talk about if he wants.]
flowerclips: ((° o°)!)

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rei came here for the free food, not for serious discussions because she sucks at it. ]

Umm, wouldn't they go back home?

[ she missed the beginning of the conversation where they should have questioned it. ]

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jiro contemplates stabbing himself in the eye with a chopstick.]

... Looks like it.

[He's not coming to the next meeting.]
flowerclips: ((°͈ᐞ°͈))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ this is why no one in cetana managed to get anything serious done but at least if jiro stabs himself, rei can heal him up. ]

Umm, do you think they go somewhere else?

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He might need that later.]

Maybe. The point is, we can't know and I can't be the only one thinking opening the door at least has a chance of starting a fucking apocalypse or something.

[Opening a sealed door after slaying four tengu seems like a ritual sacrifice.]
flowerclips: ((|||❛︵❛.))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rei is here for all your healing needs, when she's not having breakdowns. ]

Ohh... I didn't think about that.

[ she trusts the attendants completely so she just believe what they said without questioning that at all. ]

I thought they were like the doors back in the school. After we beat the dungeons and the bosses, those sent Leader and Vice Leader back home.

[ she has a bad habit of talking of things while assuming that the other person immediately knows the context. ]

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jiro hasn't met the Attendants, and his only knowledge of the door is from Kido. He doesn't know anything, and he's been spending most of his time fighting.]

You sure they went home?

[He doesn't ask who the Leaders are because he doesn't really care.]
flowerclips: (( ºΔº ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm, I'm not sure but that's what the three Velvet Room assistants and Zen told us.

[ granted, she left before she actually saw them leave but they must have left, right? they couldn't have stayed in that world anymore unless they wanted to be erased from history. ]

But Leader and Vice Leader are now here and I don't see their friends so maybe they did go home? And then Leader and Vice Leader came here by themselves.

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my god. What the fuck is she talking about?]

They... left and came back?
flowerclips: ((*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑)

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ lmfao i'm so sorry, jiro. this is why she doesn't contribute much to these meetings. ]

Mmhm, they're now back. Have you met them yet?

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Do they have names?

[Not that names would help much, but he doesn't recall seeing any military people or anyone who looks like a ranking official.]
flowerclips: (( ´ v ` ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Leader is Souji and Vice Leader is Minato!

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't met either of them.

[Or heard anyone talk about them, so maybe they're the "Attendants".]

They the ones handing out all this information on the tengu and shit?
flowerclips: ((・v・´*))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhm, they've been the ones helping us.

[ good guess, jiro. ]

They don't come out of the Velvet Room often, but if you go in, you'll be able to find them and ask them things. They're really nice and helped me a lot in the past.

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[As far as he knows, the only Velvet Room portal is the one right here in the castle. He'll come back later and go talk to these "Leaders" at some point.]

We'll be having... a talk later.
flowerclips: (( ´ ‿ ` ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! Leader is the tall one with grey hair and Vice Leader is the short one with blue hair.

[ in case jiro cares which one he talks to. ]

If you're not good at talking to them, I can help! I like them a lot.

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll go for the shorter one, so he can be a little more intimidating.]

I'll keep that in mind if I need help.

[He eyes the throne and the food that's left.]

Want another bento?

[Rei is at least somewhat helpful, and that's more than he can say for some people he's met here.]
flowerclips: (o((*^▽^*))o)

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, please!

[ she's been trying to control herself and not eat everything so people can have their share as well but if there are some leftovers... ]

Do you not like it? You didn't finish your earlier one.

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll just go sneak one for her and hope Kido doesn't see.]

I wasn't very hungry.

[Everything tastes like human flesh after Akira's fear floor. It was a bad time.]
flowerclips: ((ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧)

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-11 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ jiro is now one of rei's favourite people. she will now Die for him. ]

Ohh, I see. Ummm...

[ she goes through her pockets and pulls out a few hard candies. she holds them out for him. this is her thanks for giving her food. ]

Here! You can have these later when you're hungry again. They're not as filling as the bento, but they'll last a lot longer.

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-11 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[He likes her for some reason, maybe just because she's small and cute. Jiro has no use for them, but he takes the candies and shoves them into a random pouch.]
flowerclips: ((˘v˘ ´* ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-11-12 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ i'm glad to see that jiro used one of her candies as an offering to minato. it was useful. ]

I'm Rei! What's your name, mister?
