THE RETURN; in the darkness you shine

Who: Minato!!! Guest starring Akira (boy version). Closed prompt for Shido (and close CR).
What: Minato returns from his canon update and now he’s sad. Also: stargazing, chocolate, and training with A Friend!
When: February! The like. Middle half. Ish.
Where: Around the station, also the beach
Warnings: Persona 3. Mind those subject lines? Canon update was not happy.

[Closed 2/7 very late evening; the night is so long]
[One week.

One week since Minato disappeared.

He’s back now, washed up onshore like driftwood and just as motionless. He’s not unconscious, but he’s also making no move to escape the tide. Just...waiting. Waiting for what? Maybe sleep, if his blue pajamas are any indication. But judging by the deep, dark shadows under his eyes, the way his face is drawn and pale...sleep is a rare thing for him now.

Once he’s been found, of course, those close to him will probably want to come be with him.]

[Open 2/8-2/10 nights; when everything’s wrong]
[Sleep doesn’t come easy, and isn’t welcome when it does. Minato isn’t up for a lot of alternatives, though - too little energy, for a guy who’s default state is ‘tired’. But there are always the stars.]

Never gets old…

[He can be found on the roof at night, wrapped in a blanket and holding a toy rocket, gazing up at the stars. Instead of sleeping. Because he and sleep aren’t great friends, these days.]

[Open 2/11-2/13; if you give me your hand]
[Oh, shit. It’s February. And he’s dating three people???

Minato will accept no less than ideal for his boyfriends, so he’s...making a lot of batches of chocolate. He’s dedicated. Not to fear, though, he’s perfectly willing to give away his good batches that aren’t perfect! And, in fact, he encourages people to enjoy them.

Though, uh, maybe someone should like. Stop him from eating the disaster batches himself? That can’t be healthy. One of those is even less chocolate than charcoalate at this point.]

[Open 2/15-dungeon days; i will help you hold on]
[There’s another mission coming up. Minato and his friends have gotten into more than enough trouble on these in the past, but he’s stronger now. He’ll do better. So he has to be ready.

He’s down on the beach, training away with a variety of weapons: axes, bows, spears, swords… Not to mention his upgraded set of Personas. He’s going all out - because while he’s better rested than he was, exhausting himself is a pretty solid way to get some rest.

Or, well, he’s going all out with training until a small black ragdoll kitten pounces and somehow knocks him face-first into the sand. Kitten has demands that must be met. Something to the effect of “stop training and play with meeeee!!!!” So, maybe you just find Minato fooling around on the beach with a kitten instead of training. Because, honestly, who here is going to deny a kitten?

Let me guess, didn't go too well?

[Kyoko reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out a pouch of apple sauce and a Red Bean Bun.]

You want one of these?

Hell, a lot can happen in just one month.

[Especially if someone is repeating the same month a hundred times.]

Go ahead, I've got more.

[She gently lobs the pack with the bun in it to Minato.]

...Hey, I don't really like using this power, but I could probably get you some dreamless sleep. Maybe even good dreams. But only if you let me.
redmeguca: (Looking away)

[personal profile] redmeguca 2019-02-12 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
No, nothing like that. All I have to do is tell you to do it. I can make people do what I tell them to. It's... part of my wish magic.
redmeguca: (I'm sorry...)

[personal profile] redmeguca 2019-02-12 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, like mind control. Like I said, I don't like using it.

Kurama and Akechi-san, right? Kurama and I have more or less made up. He's even been giving me anger management lessons. Akechi-san… I don't think I've even talked to him since the incident.

[personal profile] redmeguca 2019-02-12 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
There's a standard for mind control?

Anyway, I'm assuming you mean the male Akira? Haven't really even met him, but I'm getting along with Akira-chan so far.
redmeguca: (What the...)

[personal profile] redmeguca 2019-02-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Charm? Does it do what it sounds like it does?

[She wants very much for it to not be what she's thinking. She will be disappointed.]
redmeguca: (I'm sorry...)

...

Aside from the love part, that's pretty much what my wish let my father do. It wasn't temporary.
redmeguca: (You sure 'bout that?)

[personal profile] redmeguca 2019-02-13 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Last time means you have a better one now, right? One without any mind control side effects?
redmeguca: (If you say so.)

[personal profile] redmeguca 2019-02-13 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I fucking hate mind control, just ask Arianna-nee.
