...At least he brought pizza?
[There are many great mysteries in this world.]
[How did Personas come to be? How did Shadows? What was the purpose of it all? Why is all this stuff in Tokyo happening now?]
[Why is there some random dude asleep on a couch in the group's HQ? How the hell did he get in?]
[None of these questions have answers for now, so for the time being, they'll just have to deal with it. A blue-haired man is currently passed out where most of the group hangs out, earphones on, from which muffled music could be heard.. From the looks of things, he's been there for a while. On the coffee table in front of him, there's a couple pizzas of varying styles and toppings from "Ultimate Super Hyper Pizza DX Alpha Final Mix Arcade Edition, Featuring Dante From the Devil May Cry Series and Knuckles" (impressive they fit all that on the box), as well as a few bottles of soda, one of which already opened. It's a little more than one person can eat by themselves, so perhaps he was expecting others?]
[It might be a good idea to wake him.]

[No response, save for muffled Lotus Juice.]
[Those earphones seem to be turned up a bit too loud.]
no subject
[He was reminded of Yosuke.]
[And, well, he knew what to do in that case...]
[Going over to the couch, Souji grabbed the earphones so they'd pull away from Minato's ears just a bit while still hooked...
And then let go, letting them slap back into place. Not as effective as with his partner's headphone style, but should do the trick.]
no subject
[Minato wakes with a start, half-sitting up.]
Dammit Yang, I told you not- ...Ah.
[He finally sees Souji there, and stops whatever he was about to say. This... this wasn't where he fell asleep. Well, at least his food came with him. That was an unexpected surprise. Because the whole "waking up somewhere new" bit wasn't.]
Here we go again. Where are we?
no subject
[He'd met a lot of people in recent months, but no one named Yang. Even more suspicious... and yet...]
...You're in Tokyo, Japan... in the year 2017.
[Felt like it was important to mention that.]
...Who're you?
no subject
[He repeats that bit as if it was a particularly surprising bit of information. It was to him, since that meant that he was finally back on Earth, for the first time in a long, long while.]
[And also he's not dead, which is strange.]
...Guess it's been a while. Name's Minato. I've, ah... been traveling.
[Best leave out the "between universes" bit. Better to not come off as completely insave right out the gate.]
no subject
[He was really just trying to figure out who let you in. It was as if he just appeared here...]
I'm Souji Seta. I don't think we've met before...
no subject
For now, let's just say I know of you. I was part of the group of Persona users in Iwatodai. I think they mentioned meeting you and your group?
[That's probably the easiest way to put it, yeah.]
no subject
[Thaaat explained it. He was a Shadow Ops member...]
They didn't mention anyone named Minato was coming, but yeah, we've been in contact with the Shadow Ops group Kirijo-san set up... since May 2012. Things have just gotten a bit... complicated, so we're organizing more people to help out in Tokyo directly.
no subject
[A shrug. Might as well just go with things.]
Complicated's not new. I'll figure things out eventually.
...Want some pizza?
no subject
[Yeah he... wasn't quite buying now that this guy was sent by Kirijo-san or Junpei, but at the same time, he knew them...]
[And there was that still familiar spark...]
...Sure. What kind is it?
no subject
One's just pepperoni, the other's seaweed and salmon. I tried to get a third with pineapple and some other things on it, but a war broke out in the restaurant over it.
[He says this as if were a completely normal thing.]
no subject
[He was exaggerating... he hoped.]
But that Salmon and seaweed one sounds interesting. Let me try that...
[Souji no. Stop, seriously-- but no, he was going right for pizza, sitting down in one of the chairs and taking a bite.]
no subject
[He could be joking, but he could also be serious. There's no way to tell for certain with his straightforward tone of voice.]
It's pretty good, but they overdid it a little on the miso sauce. Little too salty.
no subject
Chowing down on the piece, Souji did note it was a bit too salty... but it was still pretty tasty.]
Got anything to drink? I think if they switched the miso to just a white sause, it would be fine...
no subject
[This may or may not turn out well.]
Drinks are there. Help yourself.
[Minato motions to the drinks. There's Dr. Salt, Cielo Mist, and... "Drinking Soul". Whatever that last one is, it's uncomfortably blue.]
no subject
[...Of course, Souji's eyes would be attracted to the one he didn't recognize.]
What's 'Drinking Soul'?
[He's asking, but he's already reaching for it.]
no subject
[As if that answers anything.]
I'm not sure if it has actual souls, though. Never could figure it out.
no subject
[And THAT'S GOING RIGHT DOWN THE GULLET. Glug glug glug...]
Ah!
That's pretty good...
[+100 SP! Nice, he was running a bit low today...]
no subject
[Don't mind as he helps himself to some. Tastes like souls. Whatever souls taste like.]
Anyway, I'm gonna assume I ended up here for a reason, so if you need help with anything, that's... pretty much all I do these days.
