Hey! Hey! It's been a long time, hasn't it?! What's shakin', player? Doing anything new? Learning new stuff at your new school? Have a new favorite color? New flavor of coffee? New favorite color of your favorite coffee?!

What's that? I'm going to an RPG where I can use monsters to battle other monsters? Sounds pretty familiar... but a lot of fun too! It's not like I've got anything better to do, anyway~

And Ryoji-kun's there too? That's great! I guess that means I'll be having a lively time ther---

.... Huh? He doesn't remember me? Oh... [She seems dejected at first, but quickly returns to a smile.] That's too bad... but that's okay. I'll be okay, like I always am!

What are you waiting for? Don't mind little ol' me and finish that app! Go go go!

...you'll be okay. Like you always are.

[Ryoji bites back the impulse to apologize on behalf of...well, himself. Instead, he just tries for a reassuring smile.]

Do you mean you'll be able to keep your Persona, wherever you're going?

[obfuscate]

You betcha!

[She's faced a lot of tough things... She's sure she can deal through this one too.]

No Personas, though. We get to play with these animal thingies called "Pocket Monsters"! I'm getting one that looks like a black blobby thing with a skull on its face. It's reeeeaaaally cute~

[novemberlover]

[Ah, Minako. Embracing symbolic representations of Death like always.

Ryoji's...not actually sure how to feel about that.]

It sounds like a Shadow. But I'll go ahead and take your word for it. Might be kind of nice, to have creatures like that fighting for you, instead of against you. And everyone has one, you say?

[obfuscate]

Yeah! And you can get more of them! Collect 'em all~

[It's almost like what she usually does back home, but more cuddlier!]

I heard the one you have over there is really cool-looking, Ryoji-kun!

[novemberlover]

Well, you know me - I do have very good taste! [He laughs lightly, trying to imagine just what he might have. Cooler than a skull-marked shadow, hm?]

Are you planning on collecting them all, then? I hope you have a better way of storing them. [Because these, while being cuddlier, don't sound like the sorts of things that would do well crammed into Minako's headspace. Ryoji would know, having spent fourteen years there.]

[obfuscate]

Um, apparently you can store them in computers if you have more than six! Modern technology sure is amazing...

[Her eyes are sparkling with enthusiasm.]

[novemberlover]

Yes, it certainly is. I suppose, as long as they're comfortable, then it's an arrangement that works out for everyone.

I hope our Pocket Monsters will get along, at least.
