thefoundation | WEEK 3 MINGLE

WEEK 3

Week three opens like the other two weeks, but when you wake up, you know there's been a change in the area. At first, nothing is wrong - but when you look at any window, you aren't greeted with the cheery sight of the outside - instead, there's just a cold, harsh blackness. Trying to leave out the doors is impossible, too - if you try, you just find yourself back on the couches in the lobby. On top of that....The Staff are beginning to act even stranger, their glitching out becoming more obvious. Sometimes, they seemingly go blank mid sentence and walk away, as if they were reset, and slur or stutter their words.

The weather is...well, non-existent, except for the courtyard, which is still pleasantly snowy. There is still music playing in the halls, and the cover songs continue with some low-key music for the week.

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone. Another piece to the puzzle, one step closer to finding the truth of this place. Yet, it doesn't seem like you're any closer to solving this...

And time still ticks onwards, regardless if you're ready or not.

Oh! Hi Minato.

[she had jumped a little, deep in thought, but she looks back at him with a slight smile.]

I honestly don't know. I've only been once, and it... wasn't very fun. To put it lightly.

... Oh? That's a shame.

[Honestly...]

Karaoke should be a fun social sort of thing, you know?

Yeah. I bet it is.

[she pauses]

Do you want to Karaoke together?

You don't mind?

[!

He brightens so much when it comes to karaoke... oh no.]

That sounds really fun to me, if you're up for it.

I'd love to spend more time with you.

[after all, he's the other Useful Persona user? they have to stick together]

Change my mind about karaoke, Minato!

[A title he will wear proudly.

TO KARAOKE...!!]

Let's do it, Makoto-san. You can count on me.

[As if he's somehow taking this as seriously as a mission... he might be? He loves karaoke. TIME TO HEAD ON IN and look through the songs.]

What kind of music do you like best?

Hmm...

My tastes are a little old fashioned.

[if he randomly selects a song, the chances are she will be Into It]

I hope that's not a problem?

Of course not.

[Makoto, pls.]

I don't think I've found a music genre I don't like, to be honest... [It's kind of his Thing.] And a lot of older songs are pretty fantastic. How old-fashioned are we talking?]

Hmm... Well, how about this one?

[it's gonna rain.]

[Oh my god.]

Good choice.

Let's sing it together, okay? I think that's always way more fun.

Like a duet? I've never sung a duet before...

Think of it more like us singing the same song together, rather than a proper duet.

If one of us stumbles, the other person's there to back them up.

Ah, you're right! Okay. I think that would work very nicely.

Should I hit enter?

I'm ready if you are.

[A CHEESY THUMBS UP.]

Let's do it.

[a less cheesy thumbs up back, and then she presses the enter button. hows this gonna go minato]

[Honestly, Minato has a pretty nice voice, and he loves to sing, so it goes very well over here!

Hopefully Minato's enthusiasm makes it a good time for Makoto too.]

[she also is perfectly decent-- especially since she knows the song?

though they should do disney next]

[Ah, Makoto sounds good...! Minato looks pretty thrilled in his own way when they're done.]

That was great, Makoto-san...!

Thanks!

[a slight pause] You know... You could just call me Makoto? I don't mind.

... Oh, okay. Makoto, then.

[He looks pretty content with it.]

Do you wanna do another song, Makoto?

Of course.

This is fun. Muuuuch better than the time I met a Yakuza boss.

[A slow blink.]

...Sorry, what?

[she pauses and then glances wistfully at the list of songs.]

It's how I became a phantom thief. I got kidnapped by a Yakuza boss, and he took me to a karaoke bar. It wasn't my best plan, but... we needed a way to get access to his palace. It was the only thing I could think of.

... Ah.

[Wow, he was not expecting that.]

... Sorry, I didn't mean to make you relive bad memories. But... you really are incredibly brave, aren't you?

It's okay. I came here because I wanted to face them, just a little bit.

[but she looks really happy? when he says that?]

I wouldn't call it bravery either. Just recklessness.
