On a couple events

[onelastpromise]

Tomorrow's the big day, then? Congrats.

Graduating high school... No, I'm not jealous. I'm happy for you. You've had a rough year - two years, actually. I'm happy you're finally getting out of there. It must be exciting, going away to college. I know you're scared, but you'll be fine. Don't worry about the future. Just relax right now.

Both of those games are opening up tomorrow, after all. Avalar for me, and the mafia one you signed Ken up for. We're as excited for those as you are. Go ahead and have your fun, you've earned it.

...I'm going to regret encouraging you, aren't I?

Avalar will certainly be interesting, at least.

[onelastpromise]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It'll be good to get back on my feet.

[markedviolin]

Ah, yes... I'll certainly miss Paris, but the experiences will be worth it.

... I hope.

[onelastpromise]

Mmm, I'm sure my mun will get me involved in all kinds of trouble...but it beats having nothing to do.

[markedviolin]

Who knows, maybe we can form a party when we're there. [She chuckles.] Or not. I don't know, I'm not exactly from an RPG.

[onelastpromise]

Haha... I don't know, either, but we can at least have a social link.

[markedviolin]

Right! My mun's pretty excited for this.

[oftheautumn]

... I wish your friend the best of luck in dealing with Kumagawa-san and Hakuryuu-san.

[onelastpromise]

So is mine. She hasn't been in an actual game for a long while, and this one will be nice and relaxing.

[onelastpromise]

Don't worry, Ken is tough. Between Junpei and everything he's been through, I'm sure he'll be able to deal with anything they send his way. [He is proud of the team shota.]

[oftheautumn]

... Kumagawa-san is a bad influence.

[markedviolin]

Definitely. Maybe if we get lucky, we'll have friends show up there.

[onelastpromise]

I have faith in Ken.

[onelastpromise]

Yeah. It would be great to see them again...

[oftheautumn]

... I see. I was gonna offer to keep an eye on him, but at this rate it sounds like he'll be keeping an eye on the rest of us.

[Not that she's complaining, no siree.]

[markedviolin]

It'd be nice to see Raphael again... I'm not sure Charlie would like the place much, though. She'd probably complain about being taken from her work. [She chuckles a bit.]

[onelastpromise]

Maybe so. He's a good kid, if a little bit of a grouch.

[onelastpromise]

Haha, someone like that, hm...

Somehow, I don't think it would be Junpei's favorite place, but...he'a a moron. [He loves you Junpei but you are really kind of very dumb.]

[dropoutking]

Congrats to your mun, lets hope they don't become the starving alcoholic mine is.

[onelastpromise]

She doesn't even drink soda, I doubt she's touching alcohol anytime soon.

Here's hoping your mun can get through that and to a better situation soon.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

How wonderfully exciting! It will be imperative for your mundane to get away and enjoy themselves before entering the work force which, I hear, is a highly anticipated death sentence.

[dropoutking]

Thanks, Minato.

You're wonderful advice made her open another bottle of peaches. It's after 5 at least. People say that's a girly drink but it hits ya pretty hard. I'd say other wise..

[hasthepotential]

Yeah that's...

[She feels ya, Minato.]

...that's really a milestone. Here's to many more ahead.

[iwanttoholdyourhand]

Hummm, does their arcana change to Death once they join? I do ever so wonder.. This 'work force' might be something I wish to experience, what are your thoughts, dear sister?

[onelastpromise]

Some people run from their darkness, some people drown it. I can't really say I know how to advise... Not specifically, anyway.

But after the Tower always comes the Star, right? When you've hit rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

I do not think so, my darling brother. The businessman that Minato-kun dealt with was one of the Devil, so perhaps not. I simply think they mean literal death.

[onelastpromise]

It's not quite a death sentence, but people like to complain. Entering the work force just means more responsibility and less free time... I suppose you could compare it to the Hanged Man, in that it's a restriction? People tend to feel helpless in the face of the job market...

I can't say I know exactly how to explain. It's not something I've experienced.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

I see, so it is a position of great responsibility for little recognition.

Noble, yet incredibly dull!

[onelastpromise]

[He thought you might.]

The future's pretty bright. I'm really happy she's walking toward the Sun.

[hasthepotential]

[It's good to see you smiling.]

With you alongside her, I'd say her future's looking pretty bright! ♥

[onelastpromise]

[That gets a quiet laugh.] Yeah, that's the general consensus. You do what you're told, get paid, and make your living. Not very glamorous, but it's something to do, and worthwhile.

[onelastpromise]

[He sees no reason not to.]

I'm not sure how much I'm helping, but she seems happier since she started playing me. ...Which probably isn't good for me, given her nature, but what the hell, it makes her happy.

[hasthepotential]

[That's the spirit!]

It's the least we can do - bring them a bit of joy. Maybe then they'll be less inclined to do weird things to us, eheh..!

[onelastpromise]

I wish there were a bit more I could do, but that might be partly the self-preservation talking. My mun tends to do fewer weird things and more outright cruel things.

...I wish I knew why she gets her kicks from that, but different strokes for different folks, I guess.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

I could perhaps liken it to my own duties, though I enjoy them very much.

Would my allowance be considered "getting paid"?
