voicetesting; on being enabled to worldhoppers, and other stuff...

[ Nothing's spoken for what feels like the longest while, until he finally stopped listening to music - or so it seems. ]

Senpai's a little annoyed. [ No prologue, no long-winded words. Just the bare fact that Akihiko is kind of annoyed, because he's supposed to be the one hurled out into this place first, not him. Then, another long pause. ]

Mn, the cruise? Go ahead. [ He doesn't mind. He rarely does. ] Don't do it if you think you can't manage. School starts again soon.

[ He starts playing another track in his mp3, seemingly done talking. Until he opens his mouth to say something else, that is. ]

...It's not my concern who you "shipped" me with. [ And that's that. He's done talking for real, this time. Had a word quota, after all. Well, sort of. Supposed he should feel weirded out because she's the same person as him, in a way, but. He'd rather not concern himself with such things. ]

Hm? Who does your mun ship you with?

Minako. [ Nonchalantly, as always. But there's hesitation for what he's about to say next- ]

...And you, to some extent.

I see! My mun ships Minako-chan with you sometime- [Wait what? Excuse the pause]

....H-Huh?

She said she's glad she's not the only one. [ Followed by a shrug, as an answer to her bewilderment. ]

[Meanwhile, Fuuka just smiles and laughs nervously]

I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few people who do!

[ Oh, Fuuka. Minato is as expressionless and unreadable as always. ]

Mm, yeah. [ A NOD AND THEN SILENCE AGAIN he's just that awesome at killing conversations. ]

[Well now what?]

If your mun wants to put you at worldhoppers, my mun was thinking of putting me there as well. However, she's still thinking about it.

[ Now Fuuka will do most of the talking, and Minato will listen. Like usual. Either that, or there'll be the mother of all pregnant silences and the universe will die a slow, painful death. Something like that. ]

Mine's still thinking about it, too. [ The nod that precedes it signifies that he already knows. ] Either me or Senpai.

You mean Akihiko-senpai?

Either way, if your mun decides to place you or Senpai, I'll still greet either of you!

Mm. [ And yet another nod. See a pattern here? ]

...Thanks.

[ He gave her the vaguest hint of a smile, but even though it's vague as hell, it's obvious that he's grateful for that. ]

Not at all!

I'm just glad that I could welcome you there if you do go!

[ There's silence for a while, and then- ]

Same here.

[As she smiles, there is a bit of a blush but...]

Um...so how have you been lately?

[ If Minato noticed, he didn't show any indication of it. ]

Fine. You?

[Oh? Minato-kun being shipped with a girl? Sounds like the same old, same old.]

Minato-kun! My dearest mundane-san has this sneaking suspicion that she might know you!

You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

[ It's the same old, same old. Which is partly the reason why he would rather not concern himself with it. At Ryoji's words, there's a long pause, complete with a (mock) thoughtful look. Then, he said, conspiratorially: ]

...No. [ Shook his head. ] Mm, maybe your mun ate too much ramen?

[Ryoji chuckled. As charming as he might be (or tried to be), there was just something about Minato that made it impossible to compete with him when it came to attracting girls. But moving onward!]

That must be it! Though when you mention it, I'm thinking about all the places around Port Island that serve ramen...

[~~All the places he had and could've taken girls on dates to! Le sigh.~~ But he turned a little more serious or reminiscent while on that train of thought.]

But it is good to see you again, Minato-kun.

[ Chicks dig the ~*mysterious*~ ones, tyvm. ]

Missed them? [ The slightest hint of a smile touches his lips. ]

It's good to see you too.

[/sob Isn't Ryoji mysterious enough either? Transfer student, questionable background and history, wearing that scarf 24/7 ~~except at the hot springs~~? What's not mysterious--This is a fight Ryoji can't win. XD]

I do! Just once I'd like to go back there, although that wouldn't be so fun if I went alone.

I'd like to go back with you.

[But only if that were possible.]

[ Ryoji needs to stop flirting so much if he wanted to be at least in Minato's league. If you looked like you don't want 'em, they'll come flocking to you. Reverse psychology shit.

The ghost of a smile barely leave Minato's lips. ]

Sounds like a plan. [ Because why not? He'd love to do that, too. ] Mun says we can definitely do that.

Edited 2012-07-27 15:43 (UTC)

[Hey! Lots of the girls came flocking to Ryoji too and he went on dates, but Minato has a different kind of magnetism.

And sweet deal, hanging out with Minato is tons of fun anyway, and means more now at this point.]

Great! [Just having Minato not be upset at him for everything that happened was already a relief, though Ryoji still felt some pang of guilt inside.]

You can catch me up on everything you've been up to!

[ It's called Minatonegtism. ]

Everything everything? [ There's a twist in his vague-ish smile, turning it into a teasing one. ] It'd take a while, then.

[ But they have forever, don't they? Time couldn't exercise its tyranny in RP-world. That aside, he might have been upset, during the initial revelation - he's only human after all. But it doesn't last long, since Minato Arisato isn't exactly the kind of person who gets angry at a friend for something they can't control. And yes, of course Ryoji is his friend. Still his friend, to be exact. He promised him, anyway. ]

[/sob Don't hog it all, Minato!]

I have a while! I have a lot of that now, or would I say that I do, if I'm spending that while with you.

[Despite how much he might have been limited on time either way. But those subtle changes in Minato's expression don't go unnoticed. As clueless as Ryoji was sometimes, even he was perceptive enough to pick up on Minato's changes in emotion. Sometimes. Keyword.]

Tell that to those girls. [ He mean those girls Ryoji flirts with, of course. There might have been a soft chuckle after he said that. Emphasise on the might. ]

[Ryoji laughed, his hand on his chest.]

I have before! Most of them like that kind of thing, you know. I love that look in their eyes when they get to hear what they like hearing...

[But hey, hey, stop derailing this train, Minato! You also know how easily distracted Ryoji gets!]

But this is supposed to be about you, not me. I'm the one that loves hearing about you, anyway.

[ The look on his silver eyes say oh you womanizer, you, in an affectionate manner (rare for a Minato Arisato). ]

Mm, people like to hear what they want to hear. [ Not just girls, but everyone. The implication that sits there is that he's one of those people, to a certain degree. The folly of being human. ] What do you want to hear?

[ He'll indulge you this time, Ryoji. The look on his eyes say did you say that because you think that's what I want to hear? this time, but it was a rhetorical question. The other boy'll know. ]

[Ryoji gave Minato his best and most charming smile, the one that works on ~~all~~ the girls. But just because it was charming didn't mean it wasn't sincere. It was. And he was also well aware of just how flirty he was. Guess where he learned it from, Minato?]

Well, along with the sound of your voice, I think "everything everything" is pretty good, don't you think?

[And Ryoji is running with this opportunity because he also didn't know when he would be able to speak to Minato like this again.]

But first things first! I want to hear if you're happy or not. Of anyone, you should be.

[ Not him, no sir, nope. Flirty? What are you talking about? It's not his fault he smiles and countless girls perished in its wake. He knows that Ryoji's smile was sincere, though. His eyes says so. ]

You can say so.

[ The sound of your voice? Really now? is what his eyes conveyed to the other party now. It wouldn't work on Minato, he's not one of his silly girls (or his silly girls, really). But he appreciated the effort.

At what he said next, the blue-haired boy looks away for a moment, into the sky (or ceiling, if they're indoors), before returning his gaze to the other. There's silence after that, unblinking silence, before he shatters it with a blink and eventually, words.

You think too highly of me, is what he'd like to say, but for some reason, it's stuck in his throat, like so many other words he wanted to say. ]

I am. [ There's sadness in his eyes, because somewhere deep down inside he knows what will happen after the final showdown, but he doesn't regret his decision of not killing the person (?) who stood before him. He'll fight together with his friends, for the future, for Shinji and Ryoji and everyone else, and that's what makes him happy. There's no regret in happiness. ]

[Ryoji didn't reside within you without picking up a few tips or ideas here and there, blue boy. Ryoji wasn't even being sarcastic with his voice remark: It's rare in itself to hear Minato speak, and Ryoji liked it whenever he did. It was sometimes hard to grasp how he could intimately understand someone, but then simultaneously learn more about them as if he hadn't known anything at all.]

If you are, then I believe you.

[Ryoji smiled, and took Minato's word for it. Whenever Minato did talk, each word was precious, so why not take it at face value? He had an inkling that Minato might be saying things that Ryoji had wanted to hear, saying things for his benefit. It wasn't a lie though. Ryoji didn't think Minato would lie.]

There are plenty of things that I want, less so the things that I need, but if I can just have one thing, it's that you're happy.

I've been okay...it's been a while since my mun decided to play me again! Or rather, she's still having ideas on what games to put me in.

[ No, it's not a lie. Maybe it seems like he's indulging the other boy, and maybe it's true to a fault, but that doesn't mean he's lying. Minato is a lot of things, but a liar isn't one of them. Especially not to Ryoji and the rest of SEES. Much like the former, he had a penchant for telling other people what they wanted to hear, but it's because it'd make them stop hassling him (though he doesn't thought of it as such, of course, it's such a crude way to put it, and he's not crude either). Words is never his area of expertise, anyway. ]

...Did you say that to the girls you've dated?

[ He half-smiled at his own joke, but it's fleeting. ]

You don't have to. [ It doesn't matter that much, he thought, as he stuffed his hands deeper into his pockets and tore his gaze away once more. Of course, they always insist that it matters, his happiness does matter, but to tell the truth he's not sure if it matters to him. ]

Mn, good for you. [ It's not necessarily a good thing, of course, or at least, that's what he heard, but it's always good to have a fellow SEES around. ]

...What kind of games?

Outside of worldhoppers, she was thinking of reapping me back to Soul Campaign and maybe Vatheon too...she's really indecisive at the moment.

It happens. [ Mine's indecisive too, his eyes said. ]

Mun's interested in Vatheon.

[Ryoji was half wondering how this conversation turned so serious. There was always time for seriousness, especially in Ryoji's line of work. Once he knew what it was like to be carefree, it was also hard to negotiate between the two, although he was just as familiar, too familiar, of a time and place for things.

He smiled, also chuckling at Minato's quips about his dating habits and behavior with the ladies. But that was also not as important as what Minato had said next.]

I'm quite aware that I don't have to, but I want to. This wasn't something you asked of me either since it's something of my own accord.

You do the same for everyone else! You care about other people's happiness even if they tell you that you don't have to. I should have that same right, don't you think?

[Plus again, where did Ryoji learn it from if not from Minato?]

I believe that there is someone else who plays Minato-kun over there too...

But if there anyone else she might be interested in?

[ The comeback was so predictable, he should have seen that coming. That's what everyone said, isn't it? That they wanted to care about him, his well-being and happiness, not because it's required of them. It never ceased to amuse him, this "free will" argument. It never ceased to make him smile, either, the ghost of a smile that barely touches the sides of his lips. He closed his eyes for a moment. ]

...Maybe. [ You do have a point, is what his eyes proclaimed, unsaid words, remain unsaid with no intention to change that. He turned around, a movement both subtle and sudden. ]

You coming? I'm hungry.

[ Thinks for a moment. ]

...No. She said that school starts soon, anyway.

Oh, I don't want Minato-kun's mun studies away! I wish her the best of luck!

My mun has school starting pretty soon as well so...we might as well cheer them on?

She said "thanks, likewise".

[ A nod, to what she said next. ]

Yeah. Mine'll need it.

[Maybe? All right, Ryoji could leave it at that. It wasn't his place to convince anyone of anything, just speak his mind and share his opinion, but not as a form of persuading anyone in one direction. Yes, free will.

But still, Ryoji was just as amused. Oh, Minato. Also just as predictable.]

You're always hungry. Let's go!

[ It's teasing, in actuality; Minato had been meaning to tease Ryoji by not admitting outright that he was right. But of course, he doesn't get that. Doesn't matter. ]

Mn. [ Nope, not trying to deny what Ryoji said about him being "always hungry". There's no shame in that. He's just gonna walk casually alongside the other, hands stuck deep in his pockets. The usual. ]
