intro log.

welcome mingle

( AND SO IT BEGINS. )



There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably.

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.

Well - that, and all the people who seem to have woken up alongside you, lost and also probably Doing Their Best™.

There's no need to fret that much though. It's hard to say exactly where you're going next, even though some places might feel a little bit more like a clue, but what you do know is one unshakeable thing:

There's still much more ahead of you.

[... Hm.]

No, that's okay.

[Minato doesn't think that feels right--not leaving it all on Haku's shoulders, as if he's throwing him under the bus.

Nahhh.]


You only took it for me, so... it's my responsibility.

[Anyway.]

I'm sure it'll be fine either way.
amberspirit: (h34)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-01 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you have anything to worry about.

[If he's worried, he sure doesn't show it at all. Carefully, he places the box of pocky in the basket of charms, and then he removes one to offer it out to Minato.]

They're empty. There's no magic inside of them yet.
messianic: (other than that?)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-01 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks--but only for a moment, and then accepts it with a quiet nod.]

... Thanks.

Is that why you grabbed those? For magical purposes? [After Personas and this place, there may as well be regular old-fashioned magic.]
amberspirit: (h26)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-01 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. If the threads are well-made, they can hold simple spells.

[A pause.]

Or simple curses.
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[o... ominous.]

I see...

At least that means there really are some useful things in that store... I gave up after the aisle of rubber chickens.
amberspirit: (h20)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-01 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You have to know what you're searching for.

[Magic. But his brows furrow.]

...Rubber chickens?
messianic: (schedules of sentiment)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You know... chickens made of rubber. When you squeeze them, they go--

[Please imagine this with the most deadpan expression and driest of tones:]

--Hrrrrrnksqueeeeeak.
amberspirit: (h43)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-01 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pauses and then

makes a somewhat bewilderedly exasperated face.]


Chickens do not sound like that.
messianic: (and succession change)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-01 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[A solemn nod.]

You're right. They don't.

Only rubber chickens do.

[Is this helping, Haku]
amberspirit: (h23)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-01 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I would leave them alone.

[Does he think they're real chickens? Does he think they are horrendously evil omens of doom? Who knows.]

Take only the things you need.
messianic: (Farewell farewell my pleasures past!)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-02 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course. It'd be a waste, otherwise.

[And also, just not a great situation. Taking things still doesn't sit too well with him.]

... Oh. I think I've been rude. I'm Minato. Arisato Minato. It's nice to meet you.
amberspirit: (h42)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-02 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[No... Please take a bulk order of rubber chickens. It's funny?]

Haku. [He nods his head in a kind of bow.] You woke here, too?
messianic: (They use that power against me)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-02 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Minato dips his head in a quiet bow/nod in return.]

That's right. Just a little bit ago. I've been wandering around trying to get my bearings... I think that's the case for most people I've met.
amberspirit: (h43)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-02 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
That seems to be true. I haven't met anyone who understands how we arrived here.

[His lips thin.]

Though it sounds as if we won't be staying long.
messianic: (blue days and fair.)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-02 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, that's true... it seems like our travels aren't done yet.

[He shrugs a little.]

I guess if nothing else, it's reassuring that we're not dealing with this alone.
amberspirit: (h23)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-02 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure that is better.

[He seems like kind of a too serious boy!]
messianic: (of plaintive sweetness)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
You don't think so...?

[He is a very serious boy, but Minato's cool with that sort. He is also very serious.]

I think... with a group of people this varied, we're bound to be prepared for just about anything that comes our way. Maybe that is why we're all together here.
amberspirit: (h25)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-02 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes it's simply easier to work alone.

[When doing maybe slightly questionable things for a witch because you're her slave, BUT NEVERMIND THAT.]

If everyone is able to work together accordingly, things will run smoothly.

[He's also a part of a bathhouse staff, so, like, he gets the cooperation aspect, too.]
messianic: (and you could hear the scream)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-03 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[So...so serious......... Minato can't compete with that level of logic, so instead, he'll just default to what he always defaults to, which is sap.]

... I guess less logically, I just think it might be lonely by myself, so...

I'm relieved that there are others like you here, even if I'm sorry you were pulled into this too.
amberspirit: (h20)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-03 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh NO, sentimentality. Help. Free him...]

I trust even doing this alone, you would be able to do it.

[It... sounds like a compliment? Like he believes in Minato, though the delivery is a bit much considering. It's fine.]
messianic: (They use that power against me)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-12-04 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[... It does sound like a compliment but also like.

... Hm.]


I'd rather not, if I didn't have to. Though if it meant everyone else got to go home, then... [OH NO, self-sacrificial nature is rearing its ugly head!!

He clears his throat.]


Regardless, we're all here now, so we have to make the best of it.
amberspirit: (h15)

[personal profile] amberspirit 2019-12-04 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. One of those types. Can't relate. He's not that type at all; he's definitely a greedy dragon. Wait--]

Just work together with everyone else. There's a higher likelihood of us returning home that way.
