It's not the first time you've rushed ahead unprepared...

[hasthepotential]

Oh hey, Mun! ♥ Take it the way I mean it, and no disrespect meant whatsoever - I've seen your work and it's really great! I think we're a perfect match, actually!

...but don't you think you're getting a little ahead of yourself? Just a bit? I can completely understand being excited, though...so am I! I guess it doesn't hurt to get right into practicing, right?

Once we're comfortable enough with each other, then we can start considering games. I assure you that'll happen in no time at all! I've been told I'm pretty easy to open up to!

Games? That is quite an exciting idea.

[hasthepotential]

[Is she for serious?]

Do you think it's reckless, Mitsuru-senpai?

[She still has so much to learn. The mun, that is.]

[affluence]

Under normal circumstances, perhaps.

However, it's easy to see that you're a perfect match. You've already left quite the impression on her, Minako. I can't say I'm surprised.

[ Besides, Minako-mun's decisions usually work out pretty well! ]

[hasthepotential]

[Well, that just leaves Minako as pleased as punch!] I'd say that you're just being flattering, senpai - [Since praise isn't something to come so liberally from the Student Council president...] but I totally agree!

[...up to a point, yeah...]

[affluence]

[ Maybe when it came to other people, but given all that Minako's done for SEES (and Mitsuru's canon point!), the praise comes easily. ]

Not undeserved flattery, mind you.

[ Now that her thoughts are wandering into what lies ahead, her voice takes on a more serious tone, perhaps a bit sad. ]

There's still much to come. I hope your mun's enthusiasm persists until the very end.

[southpaw_senpai]

Considering you managed to get both Shinji and I to open up? I've got no doubt in your abilities, Minako-chan.

[hasthepotential]

[The reminder summons up a smile to her face, though she shrugs her shoulders and lightly fingers a strand of hair that's threatening to fall loose from her hair clips.]

...another vote of confidence from senpai, eheh...I guess the pressure's on, huh?

[southpaw_senpai]

[Aki isn't going to help with the hair issue. In fact, he's going to ruffle it a little bit.]

There's no pressure. Besides, you can handle any kind of pressure if you can handle school and Tartarus.

[hasthepotential]

[What! No! Stoppit!! Don't you know how much effort it takes to keep it out of her eyes?!

Minako feigns a momentary pout but quickly brightens up. Turn-about can be fair play, you know..!] I can't honestly agree with the comparison though, Akihiko-senpai.

[She crooks a finger and taps her knuckle on her chin, perfectly willing to look him straight in the eye as she continues.] Getting you to open up wasn't that hard.

[Maybe not the truest statement she's ever made, but she's earned some bragging rights!]

[southpaw_senpai]

[There are times when he swears Minako taught Koro how to pout. Her pouty faces are more effective than anything Koro has pulled at the dinner table when Shinji was cooking. Of course that last remark just makes him chuckle.]

Maybe, but only because it was you. I don't know how to put it really... it's like you've known me longer than even Shinji, so it was only natural.

Don't let yourself get rushed into it. Just because they call them "games" doesn't mean they're not serious business.

\o/ OMG I'll do by best here I'm not quite that far yet..!

[hasthepotential]

I think my mundane and I have reached a pretty swell agreement, if I may say so!

[A-yup, not that your reminder didn't help or anything.]

Are you speaking from experience? It sounds like you are.

tell me when you get there?

[adios_comma_asshole]

I'm your senpai, aren't I? It's my job to go through this kind of shit so you don't have to. If you're smart enough to listen.

/o/ You're the first to know, of course!

[hasthepotential]

....

[Even if he's cranky, Minako's capable of, as he would put it, "cutting through the bullshit" to get that he's trying to look out for her.]

If you have something on your mind, senpai, you know I'm always here to listen.

[adios_comma_asshole]

To start off, it's not decent.

After what we been through, "Rest in Peace" shouldn't be much to ask for.

[bearfights]

You of all people should know the importance of practicing, Minako.

[hasthepotential]

[Minako flexes an arm and grins. Welcome to the Gun Show, senpai! ♥]

Don't even doubt it!

[She planted her hand back on her hip.] She gets pretty intense about this sort of thing...it can get a little scary if you're not used to it! [But you know how that is, don't you Akihiko?]

[bearfights]

Never even crossed my mind.

[ His grin grows wider. ] Sounds more like true dedication to me.

So, how 'bout it? You think you're ready to hit the ground running anytime soon?

[hasthepotential]

Sooner by the day! [Ok maybe she's just a little over-eager. But she completely understands how it must've felt when your arm had been injured.]

Holding back isn't all that hard, except my mun's a bit more impatient than I am, sometimes. [She shrugs her shoulders a bit and tilts her head to consider for a moment.] But...we're working on it!

[the13tharcana]

My mun says she's happy that you two managed to get along so well.

[hasthepotential]

As thick as thieves, the two of us! ♥

[Soon, Ryoji! Soon...] You weren't lonely while waiting for me, were you?

[the13tharcana]

Hopefully you won't lose your wind the further you go on, then.

...And I suppose that depends on the which 'me' you're asking that question.

Right here, right now... I can easily admit that it's always lonely without you around, Minako-chan. But there are things you're not aware of yet. I probably shouldn't stick around too much, all things considered.

[hasthepotential]

[You too, Ryoji? Things are getting so serious all of a sudden.]

...I can't imagine that happening. Even if it's hard, it'll just fuel me more to over-come it!

[She frowns, her brow furrowing in worry.] ...if you insist, but...

better late than never... i need more icons. now my senpai ambush is complete.

[scowler]

[ easy to open up to, for sure... but why's she so excited to get dropped in god-knows-where someday? ]

Don't get too excited.

Most of these "games" aren't sunshine and rainbows.

[hasthepotential]

But if there are familiar faces, it can't be that bad! [Right?]
