Week 3: Sleepover with Karaoke!

[latebluemer]

[The weekend is ever-creeping towards them, which means it's time for another gathering -- this time in the newly-accessible second floor, which comes with some of the amenities of the first but better. The soft room is pretty much ideal for this sort of thing, and if there are any windows someone's probably hung a blanket against the void.

Extra kotatsu from long-ago sleepovers have been brought up, there are snacks and drinks scattered amongst the endless blanket nests and pillow forts, and karaoke and the animal cafe are just next door. They can choose to head out for those attractions or bring in the pet animals of the cafe if they'd like. Anything is possible if you believe.]

Comforting, hm. . .

[he wants to ask why, but. . . perhaps that's a conversation for when they aren't surrounded by people? for now, Akira leans over and searches the song list for another duet]

You like the upbeat, peppy songs, right?

[messianic]

[That's probably true.

Either way...!!]

Mm, yes, I do.

[He'll patiently wait and see what Akira picks out.]

I like that they have a lot of energy, and a lot of vocal variety.

[purrtagonist]

[another peppy pop song! he's more of a jazz guy himself, but. maybe they can sing something smooth and velvet-y next]

Then here's your chance to show off. Dazzle the crowds, Minato.

[messianic]

[MAYBE HE WILL...!!

With Akira goading him on, Minato will at least fling himself into it full-heartedly.

He's got a pretty impressive vocal range on him, even if he's never had any formal training.]

[purrtagonist]

[it is impressive. Minato can belt out cutesy pop lyrics with the best of them, that's for sure. what Akira doesn't have in vocal talent he makes up for in energy, though. HE'S BOUNCING AGAIN]

[stop him]

[messianic]

[Why would he ever stop him... Minato thinks it's so endearing. He bounces right along with Akira, smiling brightly.

!!

The song is over too soon, and Minato just leans against Akira a bit, still pretty exuberant.]

... I'm glad we can still have moments like this.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . takes a quick glance around the room, before his arm snakes around Minato's shoulders. VERY SUBTLE, AKIRA]

We've got to chase every moment of normality he can in a place like this.

[messianic]

Yeah... you're right about that.

[He can't say he minds that at all, really, leaning into Akira's hold quite comfortably.

Wow gross.]

[purrtagonist]

[SUPER GROSS!1 the funny thing is they could be grosser, but Akira is behaving himself]

Have you seen the soft room yet?

[messianic]

I've taken a look, but I haven't spent much time there.

[This is them behaving themselves which is bad.]

Why do you ask?

[purrtagonist]

It looks like fun. . .

[YOU COULD ROUGHHOUSE IN THE SOFT ROOM AND NOT GET HURT]

[messianic]

...Fun for what, exactly?

[purrtagonist]

Jumping around?

[BEING. . . ROWDY. . .]

[messianic]

... Like sparring, or stuff like that?

Or just... literally jumping around?

[purrtagonist]

. . . don't judge me, I didn't think this far ahead.

[messianic]

C...cute...

[...Akira, please.]

How about this? Next week... let's go spar in that room together.

[When they're both alive.]

[purrtagonist]

[HUFFS. . .]

Fine, fine. I do need to keep my skills sharp, anyway.

[messianic]

[Nudges his shoulder.]

It'll be fun. I want to see your skills.

[purrtagonist]

You've already gotten a pretty nice sneak peek of them.

[back on day one, where they attempted Armageddon and then wound up laid out in the snow]

[messianic]

Just your Personas. I want to see what just you can do, too.

[...]

I have high expectations.

[purrtagonist]

[raises a brow]

No Personas, then. Just one-on-one with the skills we've got.

What weapon do you usually use, anyway?

[messianic]

[Mmm...]

...Swords, I guess?

[He doesn't sound very sure, though.]

[purrtagonist]

You guess?

[why so uncertain, senpai???]

[messianic]

I kind of ended up using whatever we needed or whatever was on hand at the time, so...

[Shrug.]

I'm not sure I have a "usually". One-handed and two-handed swords, spears, axes, gauntlets, bows and arrows... stuff like that?

[purrtagonist]

All right. Let me rephrase the question.

What's your favorite weapon?

[watch Minato not have one]
