“This is Minato Arisato. Leave a message after the beep.”

Comments

audio, post-event!

[souredsweet]

[AFTER THE INSANITY DIES DOWN, Minato will be getting a short but friendly message!]

Arisato-san? It's Kaoru. If you have the free time and things have settled down enough for you, would you still like to play Hanafuda sometime?

audio

[lifelong]

[ He sounds drowsy, but he at least picked up. ]

Things have been pretty crazy, but I have time. Did you find the cards?

audio

[souredsweet]

[please don't be sleeping out in the snow, friend.]

Mm, I was lucky enough to spot some in a shop not soon after our last conversation. Of course, things got a little out of hand, so I wasn't able to mention it sooner...

audio

[lifelong]

Yeah... Some strange things happened. [ Super out of character people--He's only sure of this because Mitsuru was CREEPING HIM OUT and flirty. Senpai no. ]

I'm sure you were busy during the whole thing. Hope you didn't go through anything too bad.

audio

[souredsweet]

Even though I was affected by whatever happened, it was relatively easy to manage, fortunately. Other people seem to have been suffering much worse...

[Especially the people that the yanderes attached to, good lord.]

The same can be said for you, I hope?

audio

[lifelong]

I didn't feel all too different. [ Because he did the exactly same thing as usual with his card alignment anywhere. ]

My upperclassmen was not acting like herself, but that's it. [ HARASSMENT? Anyway... ]

So, time and place?

audio

[souredsweet]

I'm glad that it wasn't giving you too much trouble, at least.

[With the exception of poor Mitsuru... Kaoru had to give her a jacket and take her to a teahouse so she wouldn't freeze to death being outside dressed like that. A Struggle™.]

Mm... What about this afternoon? Sometime around 3 or 4, perhaps? As for the place, I could send you directions to a cafe that I've enjoyed.

audio

[lifelong]

[ You can't keep people from stripping is what he learned in life-- ]

All right. I was kind of in the mood for coffee. [ How convenient. ] 3:30?

audio

[souredsweet]

That works perfectly for me. [MISSION SUCCESS.]

I'll see you this afternoon, then?

[There's the sound of typing following that up too, as Kaoru flips the keypad open to write out the directions.]

audio

[lifelong]

Yeah, definitely. [ HE IS READY TO GET OWNED IN HANAFUDA... ]

I'll take notes.

audio->action!

[souredsweet]

I'll be looking forward to it.

[hAH. But with that, Kaoru hangs up! And a few moments later, the directions will arrive via text, and in a few hours, this nerd will arrive via bus to the shop in question.]

text

[masakados]

Hey, Minato. Wanna hit up some ViViD together?

If you're not asleep, that is.

text y u stalk when i'm gone

[lifelong]

[ ARE YOU READY FOR THIS KASHIMA ]

Dyrem nusy giev me a sceond,

text my stalkin game just 2strong

[masakados]

[Ah, yes, look at that lovely response, somewhere on his end Naoki snorts.]

Okay.

text stahp

[lifelong]

Did you want to meet somewhere? [ Like walking a girl and carrying her books to the next classroom kind of thing...

Or just meet there.

He's not sure because he's still a bit drowsy. ]

text can't stop won't stop

[masakados]

[Is there ever a time you aren't a little drowsy, Minato...]

Let's meet somewhere. Might as well head into the game together-- and we haven't seen each other yet, so.

[Not like Naoki's hard to miss but.]

text stop in the name of love

[lifelong]

This is starting to sound dangerous. [ Only now does Stranger Danger make sense to him.

Though he's kidding. ]

text before i break your heart...

[masakados]

Is it? Guess I need to work on making my texts sound less dangerous.

You can pick the place if you want. Busiest place you can think of, even.

[IT'LL ALL BE FINE...]

text my heart is pitch black

[lifelong]

It's no big deal.

You pick the place, Sir Kashima. [ ARE YOU SURE...?! THE TRUE TEST. ]

text

[masakados]

That's a lot of responsibility you're giving me...

But okay, let's met up at the Game Center.

text

[lifelong]

With offline encounters come responsibility, I guess.

See you soon. [ More like see you after another short nap. ]

voice;

[madhatted]

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!

(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))

gift; 12/24

[masakados]

[HAVE A PRESENT, MINATO.

Ie, a festively striped bag with this inside (and below that is several little handmade chocolate cakes because he won't just gag gift him).

There's also a little dragon toy. Just because.

Merry Christmas, is written on the note in the bag, figured you might get some mileage outta the hat.

From, Naoki.]

gift! (12/25)

[verified]

[ on christmas morning, minato will find a nicely wrapped box containing a box of assorted store bought chocolates of different flavors. some of them are coffee flavored, infused with liquor, and even hot sauce. also included alongside it is this cute thing, so he can be comfortable wherever he sleeps. yeah.

finally, there's a small note: ]

Merry Christmas, Minato-kun! Thank you for all your help and support here and back home. [ even though she doesn't remember him, she's sure the fuuka he knows would have said the same thing. ] I hope you have a peaceful holiday season and I look forward to spending more time with you in the new year.

- Fuuka

[invoker]

[ Minato will have delivered to his apartment, a coffee sample pack as well as a pillow with a strangely familiar design on it wrapped in the appropriately festive paper. Inside will be a note, elegantly handwritten - ]

Arisato,

Though we may be from different times, I have no doubt that I trusted you and believed in you not just as a competent leader, but as a friend.

I look forward to working you in the future.

Kirijo Mitsuru
