[If Minato was planning to do some monster hunting for cash, then it's quite unfortunate for him that there seems to be a lack of them in part of the forest he's wandered into. It's maybe even a little too quiet, like something more powerful may be lurking nearby that's scared off the rest. The source of the aura can be found upstream: a monstrous serpent submerged in the icy water's flow. However, its head is replaced with the upper-half of a slit-mouthed woman positioned beneath the stream's cascade. Whether she's sleeping or meditating, it's hard to say as she lets the water flow from her head and down her bare skin. Thankfully, her extremely long hair makes for great censorship!]
[ Pixie hates this job. Wasn't Horus a better Persona for aerial scouting? She'd brought this up to Minato the last time he'd summoned her. The boy simply shook his head and pointed out that, because she was much smaller, she'd draw less attention than that giant bird.
She supposes she can't really argue with that one.
Minato's out in the forest for the opposite of monster hunting. Instead, there's a notebook tucked under his arm, one that he'd designated as a creature compendium. It wasn't his idea. Rarely are things Minato's ideas. Instead, Sha-Ming had taken an interest to the fauna of Aldrip. It was too dangerous for him to venture into the forest though, given the man's lack of any supernatural abilities.
So instead, here's Minato, trekking through the spooky forest.
He can tell Pixie's noticed something, based on the way she zips off through the trees. He trails after her, following the Persona's path upstream. And there, submerged in the frigid water is -- ]
Excuse me.
[ Minato politely dips his head to the woman in the water. ]
Are you a monster?
[ Pixie, hovering at Minato's shoulder, lets out a gasp.
"You can't just ask people if they're monsters!" she wails. ]

Okay.
[ Because there's nothing else that needs to be said. It's not like he had anything else planned for the day.
He finds Kotone exactly where she said she'd be, perched on the club building's roof. Minato wanders over and wordlessly takes a seat next to her.
...it's nice up here, even if it's a little chilly. Tranquil, even. ]
Just us...?
[ After all, Kotone's always surrounded by others. ]

[ sha-ming's already in his room by the time he gets in. the door was unlocked, don't question it. ]
Dude. They're making us pay rent now. We're so boned.
[ he is totally going to gloss over all of that insane shit that happened, yep. and the lingering attachment. and the deeply complicated web of feelings. and then he stares, long and hard, before rising to his feet-- ]
...Since when the hell did you have a dog?

[ Minato doesn't question it. Minato rarely ever questions anything. ]
Yeah. I heard.
[ So much for freeloading off the inn.
In a similar fashion, Minato also glosses over all of the insane shit that happened the previous month. Instead, he glances down at the shiba inu at his side. ]
Since half an hour ago.
[ Although, that's not quite accurate. ]
He's from my home world. I don't know how he got here, but... he's here now, I guess.
[ Koromaru lets out a bark, panting and wagging his tail. ]
Yeah. I heard.

(manjiro hasn't been here for a good 10 years, as far as he is concerned, and even when he was, he left this the dojo as is. it's time to come home, but it's going to take him a little while to really settle. with now black hair in a bun, manjiro sits in a yukata by porch of the dojo.
a cigarette burns, and a drag, a release, and he's watching the place before him. he's gonna have a whole lot of work ahead of him.)
a cigarette burns, and a drag, a release, and he's watching the place before him. he's gonna have a whole lot of work ahead of him.)
[ Every day in the early evening hours, Minato walks the path to the dojo. It's become a familiar stroll, practically routine after doing so for a month. Perhaps it's pointless to keep stopping by when no one's going to be there, but someone has to keep an eye on the building just in case.
Would be a shame for it to be in shambles upon Manjiro's hypothetical return.
It's why, despite being completely empty, the whole building's clean from top to bottom. Not a weed in sight on its lawn. Not a cobweb to be found indoors.
Minato falters at its entrance. There's someone here today, seated on the dojo's porch. The smell of cigarette smoke permeates the air, reassuring him that this isn't a figment of his mind. He steps forward, one foot after the other, and stops a few feet away from Manjiro.
Or at least... he's pretty sure it's Manjiro, even though the other teen holds himself differently and is also sporting a new haircut. He blinks, baffled at the sight, despite the person sitting before him being precisely why Minato stopped by the dojo each day. ]
...Manjiro?

[Minato had so quickly risen to one of Akira's favorite people in Aldrip. And literally all he'd done was... Nothing, really. Specifically, he'd left him alone to figure himself out when Akira was too caught in his own head to properly handle being fussed over. So one of Akira's first priorities, once he was settled and had reclaimed Shoyu from Haru's place, was, in fact, Minato.]
[Said priority took a sort of winding path, first to the docks where he spent a solid two hours fishing, then back home, then out to grab some other things, then back home again, and eventually he found himself knocking on the door he knew to be Minato's, the bag over his shoulder containing a square parcel wrapped loosely in some fabric, in lieu of a furoshiki.]
[He looks significantly less weary than he did before he left.]

[He looks significantly less weary than he did before he left.]
[ Minato's settled back into his old routine again. He's out for most of the day between helping at Willow Clinic and also Sage & Smoke Apothecary. Today, however, he has a spare afternoon and finds himself returning from the clinic to catch up on some rest.
He's curled up in bed when someone comes knocking on his door. Koromaru, resting at the foot of his bed, hops up and trots over to the door. He sniffs at the bottom of it before looking over his shoulder at Minato, offering a cheerful bark. Minato sits up and slides out of bed. If Koromaru's pleased to see their guest, it must be someone familiar.
It's why Minato cracks the door open a bit to see who's there, not minding the fact that his bangs must be a mess and that he's still in his sleepwear: a loose t-shirt that's a little too big for him, and some gray sweatpants. ]
Oh. Akira --
[ He hadn't realized the other teen had returned from his trip. He's a little flustered, evident from the slight redness in his cheeks, as he ponders whether he should have known or heard through the grapevine.
As he opens the door a little wider, Koromaru trots out to give Akira a friendly bark. The dog's clad in a red hoodie which Akira may or may not find familiar.
Minato beckons Akira to enter with a hand. ]
You can come in. I... didn't know you were back.

[ Minato gets out of bed because Koromaru's already made his way to the door. The dog sits in front of it, which means it must be Sha-Ming on the other side. Then comes the voice, confirming Koromaru's tell.
Minato cracks the door open. Incidentally, he's similarly dressed down in a t-shirt and sweatpants. The shirt's a little big, but it gets the job done. ]
...okay.
[ He opens the door wider while glancing at the goggles on Sha-Ming's head. Did he sleep with those on? ]

[ Oh ok. Minato's got nothing to say for himself because he Knows. ]
Do I need to stay with the Council all day? I'll have to find someone to watch Koromaru.
[ Maybe Kotone's free today. He'd ask Shinjiro instead, but Minato suspects he's not the only one who got this exact message. ]

(as promised, manjiro shoots minato a text regarding that sword. he wants a smile on the boy's face, a want, a need - for something, anything. it feels good to be a catalyst for it, so, he settles a date first on a bakery. he has four different pastries in front of him, rubbing his hands together...
... while he waits for minato. he's not going to wait to eat. he sucks.)
... while he waits for minato. he's not going to wait to eat. he sucks.)
[ Minato, on the other hand, hasn't yet registered that this is a date.
He shows up at the bakery on time. Instead of stopping at the shelves to inspect what pastries were available, Minato wanders over to Manjiro. He doesn't mind that the other teen's already helping himself to some baked goods.
He offers Manjiro a sheepish smile. ]
Sorry... Were you waiting awhile?

[ Of course Mitsuru had made tea already, done out of a mixture of having good manners and just because she always did that whenever they'd had a talk back at the dorm. Timelines and places seemed to work so strangely in this place that this Minato here in the now might not even recall her ever doing that. As long as he knew about the important stuff then the redhead didn't mind.
That is precisely what he's coming over to talk about after all.
She's not nervous exactly - that wouldn't be like her, although she definitely feels apprehension at the coming visit. So much had happened, so many questions left unanswered and yet for once she's not even sure she's going to know how or where to begin.
For now, Mitsuru will turn those thoughts around over and over in her mind while she awaits a knock on the door of the senpai's shared house to signify her two guests' arrival. Honestly, it wouldn't be like Minato but this might be the one conversation she wouldn't blame someone too much for avoiding. ]

[ Minato doesn't anticipate this will be a particularly pleasant conversation. On the other hand, it's Mitsuru, whom he can trust will remain composed and level-headed.
He stands outside the door with Koromaru at his side. Perhaps the dog can sense the slight tension in the air, given the way he looks up at Minato with concern in his red eyes. Minato offers Koromaru a sheepish smile before reaching down and giving him a small scratch between his ears. It's better this way, to answer all of Mitsuru's questions even if it'll be an uncomfortable conversation. She deserves at least that much.
Finally, Minato straightens and knocks twice on the door. It's quaint, this shared house senpai house. Maybe he'll have to move out of the inn someday after all. ]

[ it's been weeks since they've spoken.
sha-ming knocks on his door in the dead of night. it's the only time they're both here; he'll forego sleep if he has to. unfortunately, he fully intends on disrupting minato's all the same.
when minato opens the door, he'll find sha-ming standing awkwardly, not quite sure what to do with his hands. despite being in his sleepwear, he's got his goggles on.
(they give him strength -- he wouldn't be able to do this without them.) ]
...Can we talk?
[ "about what happened?" ]

[ Koromaru's the first to hear Sha-Ming at the door. The dog's ears perk up as he shakes off sleep and trots over to the door. A sniff at the bottom of it confirms there's a familiar guest, as opposed to a stranger, right outside. He wanders back to the bed where Minato's curled up and paws gently at his human companion's shoulder.
Minato stirs, only rising from bed because Koromaru would not wake him without a good reason. He heads to the door, pushing it open a crack to inspect who's visiting so late at night.
He blinks as soon as he recognizes the man standing in the darkened hall. ]
...okay.
[ Minato pushes the door open a bit wider in a tacit invitation.
It's the first time they've exchanged words in the past few weeks. It's not necessarily Sha-Ming's fault. Minato's made himself scarce at the inn for the past month, only returning there to rest his head.
Being surrounded by groups of people mingling about -- it's something he hasn't been able to tolerate very well, given the past month's events. ]

[Ah. The umbrella.
Sitting neglected in a corner by the door, it had served, at first, to remind Yu --he grimaces at the thought-- of the various glitches he had been subject to. At this point, the reminder has shifted, serving to make sure he doesn't forget to check in on people after everything that's happened. Hence why he's here. Here meaning in front of where Minato is staying, hand raised to knock on the door.
Some people might not want to talk. That...might include Minato. But -- that doesn't mean you don't try.
So, after a moment's pause, he knocks a few times on the door. Here he is, using an umbrella as an excuse for a check-in, because what good protagonist could possibly avoid a sidequest, especially when it could contribute to a social link?]

[ Koromaru knows someone's at the door before Yu even knocks. Typically, he would spring to his feet and trot over to the door, sniffing at the slight gap underneath it to identify the newcomer before glancing over his shoulder and barking at Minato. Lately, Koromaru chooses to look to Minato instead of walking over to the door, gauging whether or not Minato wished to be left alone.
Today is different. Minato rises from his seat on the edge of his mattress, passing Koromaru curled up on the floor. He knows he can't continue shutting himself away and ignoring the knocks at his door. On the other hand, he's not above wedging the door slightly open to get a better look at who's standing outside before quickly pulling it shut if it's someone he doesn't want to see.
Minato cracks the door open, catching a glance of who's standing on the other side of it. It's Yu, and -- oh, that's... the umbrella he'd lent him. He remembers now. So he opens the door a bit wider, enough for Minato to stand a bit in the doorway. ]
...
[ He really wouldn't have minded if Yu decided to keep the umbrella. It's not like it was a particularly unique one. He could always get another. Nevertheless, when he finally lands on the words he wishes to string together, Minato asks: ]
...can I help you?
[ They come out a bit stiff as he falls back into the old habit of asking whether the other party requires assistance with anything. After all, that was typically why others had sought his company in the past. On the other hand, there's no need to hold this specific person at arm's length. Yu has been nothing but good to him. But maybe that's precisely why he says that, why his gaze remains lowered and diffident in his inability to make eye contact. ]

[ The video opens to Mitama, though just like in her recent post, she's wearing her "Santa disguise". She's here on an important business, after all. ]
Ho, ho, ho! Thank you for joining our Secret Santa event~ It's time to find out what ─ or rather who ─ your assignment as Santa's Little Helper for this year is! Drumroll, please...
[ She makes a pause for a dramatic effect, her hand slipping into a Santa hat she's holding and pulling out a small piece of paper with a name on it. ]
It's none other than... Yu-Yu-Yusuke Urameshi!
Remember, you should present your assignee with a gift of your choice until December 25th! Good luck, and remember: your main task is to spread joy, happiness and the spirit of Christmas cheer!

[ You come to sitting at a school desk.
There's rows of them, most empty by now, but it's easy to guess where this currently is: a typical classroom you would find in any Japanese highschool, but different enough to know this isn't Gekkoukan. Not that there's a lot of time to ponder on it; surrounding your desk are several students all vying for your attention, and though most of your supposed classmates have already left for the day, those who remain are still chatty enough to liven up the room. ]
Hey, you heard already, right?! [ One says, leaning upon the desk to look at you.
Before you—or anyone else for that matter—can answer, another student follows up: ] Oh, yeah! Looks like you managed to pull it off again!
[ Meanwhile, while this is all going on, one student—a girl—leans against the wall across the room, arms folded over her chest. Given the exasperated air about her, she doesn't seem terribly impressed by what she's seeing. ]

Huh?

What?
[ His attention drifts from the two students to the one leaning against the wall. He doesn't recognize any of the students milling about the classroom. ]

However you decide to proceed… there will be consequences.]
[ooc: you have until March 9th to submit your Sentencing HERE Even if your character doesn’t proceed with the Sentencing, you must comment on the NPC inbox for your penalty.
Also, there are effects for ignoring this Sentencing. The longer that it takes for Minato to complete his Sentencing, the more volatile he may become. He may take negative emotions out on the people around him, even. If you have any questions about Sentencing, please direct it to the Mod Contact post.]

Morning, Minato!!
[Look out! Weaving in amongst the sheep is one Kotone Shiomi, dressed in her usual overalls for tending to the farm animals. The plants, she doesn't really care about, but the animals? When Astralin had been here, he'd been the first person to really offer her a home. She owes it to his memory to keep taking care of them animals.
Besides -- they're cute!
Anyway, hopefully her bright greeting is enough to warn him, because next thing, she's all but tackling him from behind. Hey buddy!]

[ And that's part of why Minato drops into the farmhouse. Gotta make sure those plants get some TLC too! His garden's expanded from a tiny patch of spinach to a few cherry flowers, just to brighten the place up.
Today, however, it's real sheep hours. ]
-- Kotone??
[ Who else would dare to tackle him from behind like that while he's checking on one of the sheep's ears?
Minato glances over his shoulder, small smile on his face as he recovers from the surprise greeting. ]
