possibly going to destinystrings or towerofanimus; canon is AKB0048

Ah, Mun-san? I appreciate your wanting to find a game for me. I really do! But, um...both of these places you're thinking about sending me sound awfully scary. That tower place is full of monsters, and you get a funny look on your face when you talk about the administrators. I don't think I like that smile and that laugh.

The other place, the city with the extra hour in the day? That doesn't really seem a whole lot better. I don't really understand this whole 'Persona' thing. Can a Kirara really do that? I mean, it's supposed to be some kind of representation of an idol's soul, but magic? I don't know.

Maybe you can find someplace less scary? Somewhere with my friends? I would like that.

Aaaah! No, you don't wanna go to the tower! It's REALLY AWFUL! It's REALLY SCARY! Sonata was there, Sonata was there!

My munny-mun wants to take me to the Persona place! It looks SO MUCH BETTER!

[seasidecherry]

What? Your mun sent you to the tower? Why would they do that? That sounds awful! Was anyone else there? If you were on your own, that's just...

It's just terrible, is what!

But you're going to Hinoto-Ri, you think? Maybe we can go together, then!

[littlesound]

She did! She did! Sonata doesn't know why at all! There was just me, no Kanata, and no Grumbly, and no Suzu-Linda... no one!

[She lets out an exasperated, full-body huff.]

Hinoto-Ri is gonna be better! Way better! I'm gonna get a bunny-horse as my Persona!

[...Sonata, it's name is Pooka.]

You should come, too, Nagisa!

[seasidecherry]

That sounds absolutely awful! But you know what? It's going to be a lot better in Hinoto-Ri, you're right. You'll have your bunny-horse, and my mun says she's a little bit unsure if a Kirara can be a Persona, so she says I'll have a music goddess as mine. A music goddess! I don't know if I'm that special, but...

Yes! We'll go together! Maybe we can even do some concerts? We need to keep practicing, so...

[littlesound]

A lot better! A ZILLION times better! ...aah, Kirara... can we take our Kirara with us?

Concerts, concerts, that'd be PERFECT! And maybe we'll get more AKB0048 members, if we do it good enough? Yeah? Yeah! They'll wanna come to Hinoto-Ri, too!

[seasidecherry]

My mun said she thinks so! She decided that it wouldn't work as a Persona thing, but that she thinks it can come along with us.

It would be! We could get everyone to come, that would be great, wouldn't it?

[ o-oh gosh she has no idea who you are or what you're talking about but ]

C-cute....

[seasidecherry]

M-me? Um, thank you! Thank you very much! My name is Nagisa, thank you, um...?

[vividgreen]

[ --shoot, did she say that out loud? and crap, where are her manners... ]

Ah, sorry! My name's Saegusa Wakaba. Pleased to meet you!

[ And she sticks out a hand, ramrod-straight, to shake. ]

Your mun's not bothering you too much, are they? I can try to talk with them, so don't worry - you shouldn't have to go anywhere you don't want to go!

[seasidecherry]

[Nagisa smiles, taking that hand in both of hers, giving it a shake, and then bowing lightly.]

I'm Nagisa Motomiya. It's really nice to meet you, too, Saegusa-san!

[After a second, she lets go, still smiling.]

She's being a lot more reasonable about things, thank goodness. She decided not to send me to the really scary place after all, and it looks like a friend from home is going with me to the place she decided to send me. I'm really glad...
