...At least he brought pizza?

[foolish_seal]

[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.]

Comments

[foolish_seal]

I've been indisposed as of late, plus I really wasn't planning on showing up, but I guess here I am.

[A shrug. Might as well just go with things.]

Complicated's not new. I'll figure things out eventually.

...Want some pizza?

[timeloopingfool]

Huh...

[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?

[foolish_seal]

[And Minato can't blame him for that. He knows full well how sketchy this seems, no matter what he says.]

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.]

[timeloopingfool]

A...war broke out?

[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.]

[foolish_seal]

There were formal declarations and everything.

[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.

[timeloopingfool]

[Ah... he was one of those people who you couldn't tell was joking or serious, huh? Then again, people said the same about him.

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...

[foolish_seal]

White sauce? That could work. Might have to try that myself...

[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.]

[timeloopingfool]

Bachamel sauce would work pretty well for this, I think. Something a bit weaker to let the taste of the salmon and seaweed stand out.

[...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.]

[foolish_seal]

It's like a Chewing Soul, or a Snuff Soul, only in soda form.

[As if that answers anything.]

I'm not sure if it has actual souls, though. Never could figure it out.

[timeloopingfool]

...

[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...]

[foolish_seal]

Better be. Thing cost me an arm and a leg.

[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.
