@chibitantei sent: “How can you stand this place?”

Now this was a place he never imagined he'd be staring at again, never in a million years did he think he would find himself back here in the Yamanashi Prefecture, a part of Japan that was home to one of the most haunted outdoor locations -- a location that he was all too familiar with. Aokigahara Forest, otherwise known as the Suicide Forest, it was a dark location that was full of Paranormal Activity as well as unexplainable phenomena. Minato was originally here to do an interview on his experience inside there for a local magazine company that talked about things involving the Paranormal. The interview lasted just over an hour before he finished.

Minato was about to leave, when he received a call, checking his phone he saw it had been none other than Naoto who heard Minato was nearby. Apparently, there was a little girl who went chasing after her red ball that had bounced into the forest, this little girl hadn't been seen in about twenty-four hours, and because it was the forest that she had gone into, many others were skeptical on going in there to search besides a few local police officers who never came back out. Someone had apparently contacted her in hopes she would be able to find the girl, because of Minato's experience navigating the forest, she was asking for his assistance in going in the forest with her trusting that he knew the correct paths, and he did.

Understanding the dire situation, Minato agreed and postponed the next thing he had planned, a podcast appearance in Hokkaido, and they didn't mind once he had relayed to them what his reason was for postponing. With everything taken care of, Minato went to meet up with the detective at the entrance of the forest. With a wave, he approached her.

[{ 🦋 }} - "Hey Shirogane, been a while, a shame we're not meeting under better circumstances, but I came as soon as I got your call."

Minato planned to return here one day to investigate again, as for right now, he'd put his main focus on trying to locate this girl, even with his familiarity with this dark and dreary place, finding the girl wouldn't be an easy task, but with the two of them working together, he had a feeling they'd be able to find her and bring her back safe.

[{ 🦋 }] - "So, we're looking for thirteen-year-old Haruka Seiko right?, went reported missing yesterday around five-forty-seven pm." He read the report just to confirm, once that she confirmed it with him, he nodded.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Okay, one thing you should know about the forest, is that it has a very unnatural and eerie atmosphere. With its dark history, we're bound to encounter some of the spirits inhabiting this forest, and they will try and confuse us, and throw us off our path, so if you think we're going around in a circle, we'll need to stop an asses our directions, anyway, are you ready?"

[dxfiedfxte]

As she provides just a little bit more context about her friend Mioda, it starts to become apparent that he has in fact heard of her before, she recalled hearing something about an artist from a school band leaving her group for differences in creativity, the more he thought about it, the more he remembered. He found it pretty interesting that Mikan was friends with a popular musical artist, he assumed she must have gone to some sort of private school if it had students with notoriety like that.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Oh! Now I remember. Ibuki Mioda formerly from.. I think they were called, Black Cherry? I'm not sure if that's correct, but yeah I know who you're talking about now. It's pretty neat that you went to school with her."

He nods as she goes into her song that hit the top of the music charts, as Mikan explained, Minato had to admit, he found it pretty cute when she used the word 'charts' with a question after it, she was dangerously adorable with her wording sometimes.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah, I think I know which song you're talking about. I've heard it on the radio in my car often."

Moving onto the topic of inviting her along for a trip to South Korea sometime, there was something in the way her eyes lit up at the mention of it, combined with that bright smile of hers that caused him to smile in return. Even if this was just the first date, the thought of having her along with him for a trip to a country she had a connection to her origins. Minato had never really met anyone who was part Korean before, so he was very interested in finding out more about her.

[{ 🦋 }] - "In that case, I'll make sure I let you know a couple weeks ahead of the trip so you have some time to check you're schedule. I'll be wrapping up filming of my fifth season in a month, so once that's done, I'll probably start deciding on a day for it."

He adds with a smile. Minato was pretty sure they would have a decent number of dates in the books by then, whenever it would come a time for that trip, they would be close enough to have a vacation together, the thought of it all excited him.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Society isn't the same, and has changed over the years, so not everyone in this world has good in their heart, so it's important to be strong, no matter what. I can't imagine all of the things you've had to go through, but you're strong because you're still here, and that's what's important."

Minato laments. It wasn't too hard to get the idea that Mikan must have had a hard life, he didn't know the full details, but it spoke volumes in her very timid personality. It made him even more grateful to be sitting here across from her like this.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Haha, thanks. But you're not wrong. When it comes to evil spirits and malevolent forces, especially when dealing with demonic entities, any faint display of weakness will be used against you, it's happened a few times in some investigations. They usually like to target our youngest investigator, Zero since he's very insecure about some things, he's also scared very easily which doesn't help in that regard. So us paranormal investigators don't really have much of a choice, we have to be strong-willed because once an entity has a chokehold around your fears or shaken will, it is extremely difficult to make them let go of their target."

He explains, appreciative of her compliment, but also decided to provide a bit of detail on the subject. On the topic of another date. Minato couldn't agree with her any more than he already did. This whole time during their conversation, Minato could feel something genuine forming between them. Mikan was the first person he had dated in a long time. The fact that the conversation was already going so well even before their food, was definite proof that there was a strong bond starting to form, so more dates with her were an immediate yes.

[{ 🦋 }] - "We really do. You know, this is the first date I've gone on in years. Food isn't even here yet, and I'm already having such a blast. So I want to know a lot more about you too."

He agrees with another smile. Moments later, the chef returns with their food and serves them their plates, before bowing and walking back into the double doors of the kitchen.

"Y-Yeah! Mioda used to be in an band b-but they broke up in high-school. They had a couple of singles that actually ch-charted on the music uhm... charts? But when she w-went solo she stuck m-mainly to indie m-music. But she's pretty popular!" Mikan explained. "She's got one s-song that's b-been playing on the radio recently!"

Mikan lit up at his mention of letting her tag along on his next trip to Seoul. "R-Really? I'd h-have to make sure I can take the time off from the c-clinic... and I won't be in classes, but other than that, I'd love to!" She replied enthusiastically.

She flushed pink at his compliments. They weren't even drinking much and she felt drunk off the attention he was giving her. She'd been so nervous to actually accept, yet here she was having a great time. Why was she always so anxious about these things? She needed to let loose a little more. Maybe Minato was the guy to help her do that.

"Th-thank you.. I've never been called st-strong before. Considering your line of work, I think you'd have to be pretty strong too. So I r-really admire that about you, too."

You don't need to bring him home with you tonight. She told herself. It's just the first date. Get to know him a little better first this time!

"W-We just have a lot in common," she explained. "I d-don't think I've ever met anyone like you b-before. So I'm eager to learn more about you."

Continued Thread:

♕ - Sonia || @more-than-a-princess​

Suddenly, the space began to feel very small. Despite it being built for at least four riders, if not six, the fragments of Minato’s tumultuous past more than easily filled it. Sonia breathed deeply: comfort and guidance were the skills of a princess but here, in Cape May with his hand in hers, Sonia didn’t feel regal at all. She didn’t quite feel like a friend either, with how close they sat and how easily he’d taken her hand in his and she’d interlaced their fingers, keeping him there. Keeping him steady. She wasn’t sure what it was she felt, beyond a great care to say and do only the most suitable things, the right things, at the moment.

“Minato-san, I…” Sonia began before trailing off. If it had been a memorial she was attending on behalf of the Royal Family, she would’ve thanked those left behind for the service of their loved one. That she was sorry for their loss and that those who had died had been an asset to Novoselic. But none of that seemed appropriate now: not for Minato, who was still hurting. Still so haunted by ghosts, far removed, Sonia thought, from the ones he contacted as part of his career. “That’s horrible, what happened to your parents. It is no wonder why you haven’t been to a place like this since.”

“But,” She continued, her hand squeezing his a little bit tighter. For his reassurance that she was still there. For her own, that she had the courage to be frank and honest with him. “Please don’t blame yourself, ever. For what happened. For still being here. I don’t believe your parents, people who loved you until the very end, would wish for you to suffer the same fate. Even if they are no longer here, you aren’t alone in the world. You have your friends, you have your career, you have-”

She stopped herself then. The phrase didn’t make sense: she’d almost said “you have me” but she fit into the first point. Didn’t she? Sonia shivered some: the breeze from being that high in the air, even in summer, made her sundress rather inadequate for the evening. At least where keeping warm was concerned. At least, that’s what the blonde would attribute it to: a change in weather. Not mood. Not anything else. She was here to listen and to comfort him, nothing more.

His worries of the mood change easily faded, Sonia didn’t seem to mind it, he honestly was glad, and very relieved. The last thing he wanted to do, was spoil all the fun they had today, even in this moment, despite the painful memories, he was still enjoying his time here with her. If Sonia wasn’t here holding his hand like this, he probably wouldn’t have been able to keep his cool as well as he was managing to do right now. Minato, always had a track record for nothing being able to phase him, but right now, Sonia was witnessing a side of Minato that no one has ever seen, at least not in recent years. Minato had been carrying this pain, this trauma hidden for so long, three whole years to be exact, which was the entire extent of his Paranormal Career, but was still growing with his new season starting later in the months to come.

Always so fearless, so stoic and cool, but right now, he was being so vulnerable, but Sonia gracing him with her presence, comfort and support, but not just that, he was just happy to have Sonia here next to him when he truly needed someone, even revisiting painful trauma’s could be difficult, but Sonia’s being here right beside him, seemed to make all that pain go away completely. Silence, but he listens to her closely as she begins to speak, sounding understandingly shocked, he’d never told her about his parents traumatic passing, until now. The one reason he never came to amusement parks much anymore, because the boardwalk amusement park was one of the major attractions of Cape May, something that at first had him a bit hesitant on coming here for the investigation. Ultimately, his career and curiosity of the many locations and spirits had won over his hesitance and thus he agreed.

It had taken a long time for him to finally open up to her, which was a common issue he had even when he was in high school. Minato always had problems opening up to others, especially when someone got close to him. It usually took him a bit to calm himself when mentioning his parents, but Sonia’s presence, was doing a lot more for him that he thought, this pain, wasn’t so overbearing with her holding his hand, giving him soft gentle words of reaffirmation that he never thought he’d needed to hear more than now, especially from Sonia, the one person whom he’d spent so much time getting to know over the past months, she had been right by his side all this time, the gentle squeezing of his hand, clearly reminding him about that.

You aren’t alone in the world

She was right, he had so many wonderful people still in his life, when looking back on hard times, sometimes he got so lost in his thought, it was almost like he’d become trapped there, stuck in that memory inside of his head, replaying on a continuous cycle not letting him push it out of his mind.

Until she comforted him

Sonia, really was someone truly special.

No one else could make him feel better like she could.

It took a while, but he finally knew, just how much she meant to him.

Her gentle touch and reassurance, was all he needed to help pull him through these horrible memories. He had no regrets finally telling her about them. He was already expecting some kind of supportive response, and she had done that, plus more. She showed him just how much she really cared about him, a warmth he had recalled feeling before a few other moments they were together, before this trip. It all finally made sense to him, now he could see it, Takashi and Zero were always telling him that, ever since he’d met Sonia, he seemed happier than he usually was, and it showed with how extra outgoing he had been, it started exactly after him and Sonia started spending time together.

[{ 🦋 }] - “...You’re right... I’m not alone in this world, I never was..”

[{ 🦋 }] - “Thanks Sonia..” A smile returns to his lips.

He was feeling better, so much better now. His dark expression fades, once again brightening, as if the moment never even happened, but it did, it had been a meaningful one, it helped him realize just how he really felt about Sonia, he only hoped she felt the same, his life, had gotten so much brighter ever since he met her, and he wanted to go through life, with Sonia by his side, but this time, on a more personal level, she was so much more than a friend to him.

His head raises up, and he turns to face her, grey eyes looking deeply into her blues. He’d be just fine without his parents, and he’d be fine while his friends were busy, he had Sonia here with him. Lost in the moment, he wanted to take this chance to show how he truly felt, the moment, just felt appropriate, it was like he could feel it in the air around them. She had just displayed how much she cared about him, gave him the push he needed,  she said the words he needed to hear all along, and he was feeling really good, great even. Now was his best chance. He could already hear Takashi’s words to him that day they met for coffee a week before the trip.

“Your heart can’t speak Minato, you have to speak for it. so do it.”

Putting his other hand over top of hers, his expression is serious, but there’s a gentle glimmer in his eyes, he could feel it, his heart talking just by the way it pounded against his chest as the realization of his feelings hit him like a brick wall, and now, it was time to finally say it all out loud. The words he had waited for so long to say to her, if only she knew how long he had waited to find the courage to say this all to her, well, better late, than ever.

[{ 🦋 }] - “Hey uh, Sonia-San... there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you.”

Minato knew that horror movies weren't exactly Fuuka's forte, but since it was the month of October, how could someone, not watch a scary movie? Of course, he wouldn't plan on taking her to see a lot of horror flicks for her own comfort, so even Fuuka just joining him for one was already more than enough for him, especially a film in the Exorcist franchise, a seemingly better one. Despite it being his first time watching this new movie, there was one thing he knew for sure, however this one would turn out to be, it would easily be better than the other failed sequels within the franchise.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah, that's true. A major plot isn't something people care about in horror movies. Well, some do but not a lot. For me, if the plot sets things up nicely and provides at least, decent context, then I do appreciate it. The last horror movie I saw that had a good plot background was M3gan."

She definitely had a point. Plots aren't usually something that is focused on too much in most horror movies, but Minato on the other hand, enjoyed it when there was a good plot. It didn't need to be a thorough plot setup since that might have taken too much time, so for the most part, he could watch one without a plot, things just might not make a lot of sense in those cases, but at least the horror scenes usually made up for it.

A soft chuckle as she mentions that she would need a lot more convincing to join him for a horror film when they were both still students in high school. Yeah, he could definitely see that, Fuuka was a bit of a different person now compared to how she was back then, they were both different people in those days.

[{ 🦋 }] - "I can definitely see that. Back then, you wouldn't even go near a theater with a horror movie playing, not as easily anyway. Of course, I'm still more than happy to give you more regardless." Minato playfully adds as she takes his hand while the couple reminisces for a few moments about old times.

It was a different world when they were still in high school, now, after all these years, things changed, society changed, and everyone is a different person now. Even in the present, Minato would always remember the struggles he and the others faced together, how they all united and became the best people he knew in life. It wasn't just the group as a whole either.

Minato also remembered the struggles that he and Fuuka's relationship faced thanks to his carelessness. Thankfully, the both of them came out of it all, much stronger, and closer than ever before, he would be eternally grateful for Fuuka taking him back, life had never been better ever since they rekindled and moved back in together. Tonight would be the first horror movie they had seen as a couple in a little while, so however the movie would be, he was just happy to be there, having another movie date with the love of his life.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Ooooo, she's got a real snack craving tonight." He lightly teases. Fuuka never usually had too much at the movie theater, so hearing her specific craving was a surprise, but she definitely had good taste.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Sure thing. I'm a movie club member too, so we'll get discounted food and popcorn combos." He chuckles in approval, Minato wasn't sure what he wanted yet, but he would more than likely choose once they were there. For Minato, it was just easier to see all the options they had in person. Minato sets up the first exorcist movie so they can recap what happened in the story of the first one.

[{ 🦋 }] - "You bet. All the seats recline in the theater. The one that doesn't have them is the theater that plays movies that leave normal theaters after their original theater runtime." He answers as he sits down on the couch, waiting for her to join him as he gets comfortable.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Since the first hour is just slow, story building, we can probably skip the first half since we know how it happens, all we really need to recap is the possession itself so we can see what core elements they keep in Believer." He explains, curious to see if the new one would have any similarities or throwbacks like Halloween 2018 did.

They had three hours, and Minato didn't feel like wasting the first hour by watching story building that they were well aware of already, it seemed a little pointless rewatching the whole movie in its entirety when only the last hour mattered the most.

Just seeing Minato light up the moment she agreed to seeing the movie was the best feeling! Granted, Minato was easy to please and easy to make happy no matter what she did, but the twinkle in his eye really was the icing on the cake. So, even if she might get a nightmare tonight, Minato would be right there--holding her hand and cuddling up with her all night long.

Fuuka smiled, knowing this was a win-win situation for her.

"At least I don't have to spend time watching the earlier movies and trying to play catch up with you. Besides, I don't think many people watch scary movies for the plot." Fuuka stated, recalling something Minato, or perhaps it was Junpei?, said when they were in high school. "If you asked me years ago to go do this, you'd have to really give me more than just cuddles and kisses and hand holding."

Fuuka knew she would have wanted more since she was so much more shier and newer to horror stuff as a teenager. Never would she thought she'd be more comfortable to the stuff Minato did now. Then again, wouldn't taking shadows in the Dark Hour still be mysterious and a little horrifying? The kiss on her hand from her lover brought her mind back to reality, smiling earnestly and blushing lightly.

"I also want some snacks, too. Pretzel bites with nacho cheese--and a big bag of popcorn." Fuuka gripped his hand in return, softly, as she knew she didn't want to waste a lot of money at the movie theater. "Though, did we get the movie theater that has the reclining seats? Because those are the best when you are watching a horror movie."

@mysticallities sent: "'There will be a next time,'" Liber casually echoes the words said to her from him, a bygone interaction, endly swiftly and restarted equally as fast. The Arbitrator stands behind him, magical energy strong enough to render those nearby on their knees by the power. "I suppose now would be a good time to get to know each other, am I wrong?" She asks, still... throwing that magical energy around like it was nothing.

Ever since the encounter with Liber, Minato knew she would show up again without warning just like she did during his time with Ayumi spent that day, what exactly was her problem? Did she have some sort of issue with letting people get close to Ayumi? Or was she just the type of person who enjoyed shaking things up and causing trouble? Whatever the case, Minato was not a fan of her, and it wasn't just from the extremely poor first impression she had given him upon her sudden appearance.

About a week after the encounter, this next week, would be his final one in the city, he still had other locations to investigate, and even though the special documentary on Heavenly Host was finished and now he just had to edit out all the dead silence, and cut out any retakes they had to do for moments where it took a few takes to explain, and with how traumatic the experience was for her, Minato may never have experienced it himself, but from how many times they had to retake, it showed him just how much of a toll it took on her mentally, he could feel the emotions clear in her tone as she mustered up the courage to talk about it, he could see how hard to was for her to even speak about it.

To top it all off, Minato wasn't planning to take any of the royalties earned from the documentary and instead would put it all together for a charity he was creating specifically meant to help the mental health of all the survivors of Heavenly Host, and that's what he was on his way to do now, the papers were already done, he just needed to get it signed from the charity board of this city and then it would be official, but before he could do that, a magical presence appeared behind him, the energy seemed to affect gravity itself as it tried to push him down to his knee's, but to counter it, his Persona Thanatos gave him a burst of his energy allowing him to withstand the pressure, and keep him up on his feet.

Clearly not happy with the sudden appearance, Minato turns to face her, and just like he thought, it was her again, the woman that called herself Liber.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah, well it's kind of hard to do that when you show up flaunting your power like this. Not really the best way to say you come in peace."

🍋 - Does your muse complain about things to you? If so, what?

Oh yeah, Minato complains to me about a lot of things to me. Sometimes he talks to me about he about food, especially if I'm cooking, he'll always say "Hey, Chase, you should add this to your recipe"

And some of the things he tells me are weird so I think he just says those to troll me lol. Other times, he'll critique the horror movies I watch, always putting in his two cents when he sees an opportunity. He can be a bit of a dork with horror and food sometimes, but I love that about the guy

The number one thing he complains to me about a lot tho, is my poor consistency with being active sometimes. He's always going on about how I need to be here to progress things, especially all the bonds he's forming with people in his life.

🍒 - How many friends do you have on here?

Oh man. Well, honestly. If we've chatted ooc at least twice or three times I already consider you an rp friend. To answer the question tho, it's hard to give an exact number. I know a lot of people, since I been on this platform for quite a few years now.

There are definitely some people that talk to me regularly. Reaching out to chat sometimes is tough for people. Either because or a busy life schedule or other irl stuff. Which is totally cool, but there are definitely people I'd like to talk to a lot more. Namely my shipping partners.

I'm not in regular contact with as much of my shipping partners as much as I'd like to be.

So I'd really love to try and talk to people more. It's just hard because I'm busy myself, plus I tend to disassociate when things on my end become too much. So if people can get past that, I'm always up to talk.

[dxfiedfxte]

With the two of them cleaning up, it didn't take long for them to finish, now they had the rest of the morning together before they would need to get ready for school, and with breakfast in their system, they'd be able to take on the school with more energy than usual, it would certainly make the school day pass by quicker too if they were to focus, as boring as school was, at least Ms. Yukizome always found a way to make it fun and entertaining for them.

Now that he and Chiaki had become so close, it felt like a whole new wave of motivation had hit him, and it was all thanks to Chiaki and the special bond they shared together, there was nothing else he wanted to do but finish his schooling with Chiaki, graduate with her, and then show her the world.

When she agreed, he was overjoyed, now he had a reason to look forward to mornings, he was going to be given the pleasure of seeing Chiaki almost every day before school, it was a routine he would have no issues getting used to. It really felt amazing to be able to spend time with someone that meant so much to you before a long and busy school day and paired with breakfast, made it even more desirable.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah? That's great, I'm so happy to hear that. Mornings will be so much better now."

It was official, the couple now had a morning routine, a little extra something to make the mornings from now on a lot more exciting, h couldn't wait to start having breakfast with her every school day, and he didn't mind cooking again, next time, he'd invite her to his dorm room. Checking the clock now that everything was done, he saw that they still had an hour left before they would need to leave for school, to kill the last hour, he had an idea.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Looks like we still have one hour before school. Hm.. show me your best Super Mario Bros. 3 playthrough and cuddles?"

Once their meals were finished up, Chiaki had taken a moment for the pancakes to digest before she was so tempted to get back into her game. Of course she wouldn't return to it immediately, considering she has Minato here at the moment as her guest (even if he didn't mind her gaming at all), but she genuinely just enjoyed him being her company as well. A lot of things had changed for her since she met him even before attending Hope's Peak. She still smiles at the fond memory and kept being rather grateful to see him practically every day that she could. Along with her classmates who have opened her eyes to see that so many things in life can be enjoyed with other people, Minato was certainly the one who truly brought more of that to light for her. And it just made everyday more fun and enjoyable than she thought it could be.

As she cleaned what was left remaining at the table before returning to reach for her handheld, she nodded willing to listen to whatever Minato were to ask her. "Oh? Sure, go ahead. What is it?" As he then offered the idea to have breakfast together on certain days be it here or his dorm before classes, it would be a lot nicer getting to wake up and share a good morning together to start the day off well. Chiaki smiled, rather eager about the idea as she nodded. "Yeah, of course we can do that! It's something for us to look forward every time, right? Especially on days if it gets hard to get out of bed, this would be another good motivation for me. And it would mean more breakfast for you when you get hungry again!"

Thread move to new editor || Continued from here: X || @shootingxstardust

🌙 - Noctis Morte

Marion had destroyed the equipment without much thought in it. She was so focused in keeping the guise of being evil and spooky that she didn’t even stop to think “Hey maybe this device is actually expensive, and these three had to spend their hard earned money on it.” She continued to gaze at the three, mainly studying them, but there was one thing she couldn’t ignore right now. Zero’s fear. It was delicious. Noctis Morte wasn’t necessarily a malicious  being, but being a nightmare goddess, she was bound to freak a few people out, and if she could feed off their negative energy, that was merely a bonus.

The fear she fed off of Zero, just caused her eyes to shine even brighter in the dark room, though she did notice that besides the one person that seemed to be a scaredy cat, the other two didn’t seem overly frightened.  The oldest one seemed to be inconvenienced by the fact that Zero dropped the camera, and the other seemed quizzical and was just talking. That was strange.

Her gaze softened and she simply shrugged. She could have used nightmares to really scare these three, but they also hadn’t done anything to warrant that. Not yet. “Aren’t you going to leave now Arisato san? Your friend seems scared.”  Morte questioned, not really answering Minato’s question about her wanting to show herself.

Zero stepped back, his fear still very much heightened, whole two older men continued to study and analyze her as if they were trying to debunk this entire thing as nonsense. The trio had done this a lot, they basically lived and breathed this career every single day of their lives, and with that knowledge and experience, everything just wasn't hitting the mark that would normally mean there was Paranormal Activity, nothing was adding up. Unfortunately, with Zero being the youngest of the group, despite also having this knowledge, the young man had completely forgotten it all just by this one encounter, clearly Zero still had some things to learn about this job, but for now, the two would leave him be.

Minato looked down at the camera and wasn't too pleased to see it in pieces, but instead of getting mad, Minato just remained calm like he usually did in most situations. It wasn't going to be fun trying to find this exact same model of the camera again, the only positive thing about this entire moment, the day before, Minato had taken the film from that camera, so there could at least take solace in the fact that they didn't need to worry about losing yesterdays footage of their previous investigation, this would have been a lot worse if Minato had decided to do it the next day like he originally planned to, so at least there was that.

Remaining silent, Minato and Takashi turn their heads to look at each other giving each other puzzled expressions as Zero cowards in the corner, Zero would probably need a break after this, the poor young man was traumatized. Minato and Takashi could handle some investigations alone, besides, if they ever needed help, Minato could contact one of his friends in the Paranormal community and appear as a guest co-investigator, which was something they would sometimes do.

[{ 🦋 }] - "....Takashi. You thinking what I'm thinking?" Asks the bluenette Paranormal Investigator. After carefully studying and observing the situation in front of them, it appeared that Minato had finally come to a conclusion, and he was sure that Takashi was on the exact same page.

[{ 👻 }] - "You know I am Minato." The older man simply responds. It was time to end this little game, it was pretty sad that Zero couldn't put two and two together, he honestly expected better from Zero, though he was still young, still a bit naive, so he'd let it slide this once.

Giving a nod in return, the fool turns to face the figure before the trio. Casually, Minato took a few steps toward her with Takashi following behind him, both not even showing a sliver of fear. This charade was pretty much a waste of time now that he thought about it -- he made a mental note to erase the footage recorded here today later when they were back at their hotels, there was no need for something that clearly wasn't Paranormal, they had a reputation to keep after all, and showing fake footage would essentially be career suicide, and the trio loved this job too much to let that happen -- Minato especially since he had put his life's work into building up the reputation and credibility the had spent years creating.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Takashi, can you go turn on the lights, we don't need them off anymore." To that, Takashi nods and flicks on the lights in the building, the light snapping Zero out of his fear as he realized that the investigation was over.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Alright Noctis, you can stop pretending to be a ghost now, charade's over."

Hearing his lead investigator say that immediately brought a look of utter confusion on Zero's face, he was floored by the revelation. So Noctis, wasn't a ghost? This didn't make sense.

[{ 👻 }] - "....Wait, what?" Zero comments, the confusion on his face only increasing the more he tries to process what exactly had just happened.

[{ 🦋 }] - "....I think you need to put your training wheels back on Zero...."

@epitomees: “You gonna eat that?” (From Chie)

It had been a little while since Minato had last visited the quiet town of Yasoinaba, about a year or two to be exact, his last visit was when he stopped by to drop off gifts for Yu Narukami and his group of friends for Christmas, even then it was a quick visit, only this time, Minato actually had free time upon his arrival here. Currently, he was on a bit of vacation as he and his co-investigators had just recently wrapped up their final episode for this season of his show, Minato had two months of freedom before they would start figuring out new locations to explore for the next season, the first process in preparing for another successful season, this one, in particular, being his sixth season.

The paranormal investigator had been a couple train stops over after finishing the only thing he had to do one day before his vacation started, there was a radio station that had asked him to be a guest on their show for about two hours, it was different from a podcast but similar in a way, so it had been an interesting and fun experience. Upon realizing he was near Inaba, he just had to visit, besides, it had also been a while since he last got to enjoy the food from Aiya, and this was as good an excuse as ever to do just that.

It was an early afternoon, after arriving at the restaurant, there was about a twenty-five-minute wait before his food finally arrived. The moment he got his food, he began to dig in. Minato had ordered twelve extra large beef bowls. The bluenette had been sitting there for about fifteen minutes now. Instead of eating his food all at once like he normally did, because of how busy it was here, he wanted to savor it, with how many people were here, if he were to make another order, it would be a bit of a longer wait. He didn't want to overwhelm them, especially with how large his orders usually were.

He had only finished about four of his twelve bowls when he heard a familiar voice ask him a question, it wasn't that hard to recognize who exactly it was as the question itself was a dead giveaway. Turning his head to the right, he saw Chie Satonaka, one of Narkami's friends whom he had gifted. Running into her here wasn't too surprising considering how much she loved food, meat dishes especially. True to her nature, she posed the question instead of a typical greeting. Anyone else would probably be offended and would take that as rude, but Minato didn't mind it, he knew how Chie was from knowing her, so this was pretty normal coming from the young woman.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Oh, hey Satonaka! It's been a little while."

Assuming she had just ordered, he took a moment to take a look at the line from his seat and there were people as far as the eye could so if she ordered, the wait time for her order was more than likely a very long one, so while he did have plans to eat his other bowls, he opted to share. Besides, lunch was better with the company anyway.

[{ 🦋 }] - "I was, but since your order is probably gonna take a while, you're welcome to join me, I don't mind sharing, go ahead and help yourself."

Barring a haunted location or a restaurant, where does Minato like to relax and spend his free time? Does he have a favorite area of Tokyo that he likes to explore, or does he prefer to get out of town? What does he like to do when he's not working or eating?

@more-than-a-princess

When it comes to things that don't involve work or sampling food at various different restaurants, there is indeed a small list of a few things that Minato likes to do in his free time that don't involve anything paranormal or his insatiable appetite:

Video game arcades. When Minato was a teenager, he would often hit the arcade with his best friend Junpei and some of his other school friends, Kazuchi and Kenji. Even after all these years, Minato was still a gamer at heart, so whenever he had free time, video game arcades would be one of the places he would spend his time at. Unfortunately, these days, it's a bit of a problem when he tries to go to them. Being a well-known celebrity, Minato was often recognized in public, which in return he would be signing autographs, and posing for pictures for his fans. While he didn't mind, it was at least bit of an inconvenience since his goal is to enjoy his free time, but Minato is just too kind to say no to his supportive fans. To combat this though, he tries to go around an hour or two before closing, at least around those times, there wasn't much of a crowd on those later hours.

Shopping for cursed objects. Minato has always had a strong love for the things related to the paranormal, so on days off, if he's not craving a certain place to eat at, he's looking around online for objects that are cursed or have a dark energy to them for the sole purpose of collecting them. One day, Minato hopes to own his own museum full of paranormal objects, just like his mentors, the Warrens, the worlds most infamous couple of paranormal investigators did. At his home, he currently owns about ten cursed objects, all of them kept behind the protective barrier of charms to prevent some of the more worse objects from affecting him. Most of his small handful of collectables had the possibility of either luring in malevolent forces into his home, or causing a string of horrific nightmares.

There is one place Minato does like to go in Tokyo on days where he just wants a moment of peace to himself, and that location is the Tokyo Skytree. One of the most prominent locations to visit whenever in Tokyo. It offered a truly extravagant view of the whole city, it was especially beautiful to see at night, Tokyo was a place at night, and all the lights looked like little stars down below, there's even a program for Yoga on one of the higher floors, and Yoga paired with a breathtaking view, was a very good combo.

Throughout the boat ride, during the first two hours of the trip, they'd spent it together as the boat continued to make its course towards their destination, talking amongst the two of them, catching each other up on what they'd missed in their time apart, as well as sharing kisses and cuddles equally. Despite everything looking fine on the outside, Minato could tell by the look in her eyes when speaking to her that it appeared like something was bothering her.

Not wanting to worry too much, in an effort to keep the positive vibes flowing, for the moment at least, he chalked it up to her as simply being nervous at him showing her his hometown for the first time, a notion in which he felt like he was correct, though deep down inside of him, he had a feeling there was more to it, at least for now, Minato wouldn't dwell on it too much, but made an important mental note to keep an eye on her and look for any noticeable changes in her demeanor as the trip would continue onward.

She had wanted to know more about him for so long, then this was the best place, and the perfect chance for her to do that, he had a feeling he would be doing most of the talking this time around, and he was perfectly fine with that. For most of their relationship, Sonia had done a lot of the talking -- not that Minato had remained completely silent, he had responded to her many times, in fact, the two had shared many meaningful conversations already, the blonde aristocrat had just been the one to initiate most of them before it would eventually develop into a full discussion soon after.

So many things she had already told him about herself, it was about time he returned the favor in full, and that was precisely the purpose of this trip, not only to spend more quality time together, but to also give her the chance to learn more about his past, more about the things he'd been through in his early life, more about all the experiences he'd faced, all the things she had wished to know about him, and he was happy to finally get to this point in their relationship after a whole year and three months, with several days in between.

As the couple made their way off the ship with their luggage in check, Minato smiled at her reaction to his silliness, even joining in on laughing with her as he comfortably slipped her hand in his own whilst leading her to the bench, sitting down with her after giving a proper welcoming to his loving girlfriend.

[{ 🦋 }]- "Nope, not once. But hey, I guess I found myself a good backup gig if things ever took a bad turn in my career huh?"

Another joke to top off his previous one before the moment fades and he formally welcomes her to the place where he'd grown up. Aside from all the hardship he had faced here, this place still held many precious memories for him, back to a time when everything was so easy, yet so complex at the same time.

Taking a seat on the bench next to her, Minato could feel her shivering, so he put his arm around her, pulling his darling girlfriend closer to him and sharing his body warmth with her to help combat the chilling breeze of the wind that came from the direction of the open waters behind them. As he warmed her up, Sonia drew his attention by speaking about everything she had read from the brochure that had all the information on Iwatodai City located on Tatsumi Port Island aimed at tourists.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Right you are Sonia-Chan, looks like you really did your research on the place, that's just like you." Amused at how prepared she always was regarding wherever she was going when on a vacation, Minato leans in planting a gentle kiss on her cheek.

[{ 🦋 }] - "I picked the best Ryokan in Port Island, it's a place I always wanted to stay at when I was younger, so I'm pretty excited, I haven't been to a Ryokan in years either and I want this trip to be a memorable one for the both of us. There are so many places I wanna show you here." He adds, excitement clear in his tone, this was a trip he had been wanting to take her on for a long time now, he was glad that their schedules seemed to work in their favor for the second time, allowing this trip to even be possible in the first place.

Not long after, in the span of exactly ten minutes, a black sedan with tinted windows pulled up right in front of them, the passenger's side window rolls down revealing a maid with a black medium length, a right-sided single ponytail, looking their direction, she greets the two with a smile, immediately, Minato recognizes who had picked them up.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Kikuno-San? Hey! it's been a long time. So you're going to be our driver?"

"It's good to see you again Minato-San. And yes, you are correct. Ms. Kirijo expressed to me how much you needed a reliable driver whom you could trust, so she asked me."

After the pleasantries, Kikuno unlocked the doors and Minato stood up, opening the door for Sonia so she could get inside the vehicle first since she seemed pretty cold, after his lover is in, he gets inside after her closing the door behind him, Kikuno promptly locking the doors the moment the two sat down on the backseat and buckled up their seatbelts.

Understanding that Sonia was probably wondering who this was, Minato turned to face her and began to introduce her.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Sonia-Chan, I'd like you to meet Kikuno Saikawa, the very reliable head maid of my close friend Mitsuru Kirijo. My friend has arranged for her to be the personal driver for the duration of our whole trip, so that way, we don't need to worry about privacy concerns. Kikuno, this is my girlfriend Sonia Nevermind."

Since they were still parked, the head maid turns to Sonia and offers her a polite smile, bowing her head slightly as she greets her.

9"It's an honor to meet you, Lady Sonia. Tatsumi Port Island is a wonderful place, I do hope you enjoy your time here, for an island city, this place has a lot to offer people for a vacation." Says the maid as she changes the car's gear from park to drive, rolling the passenger side window up before driving off and officially starting their drive to the Ryokan Minato had booked for them to stay at for the trip.

The autumn breeze had picked up, Sonia had noticed, since they'd left the port in Tokyo. For all their weeks apart, much of the trip had been spent in each other's company, a combination of conversation and kisses to catch one another up on the events of their lives. But as Minato finally left her side to speak with the ship's captain, Sonia had straightened her clothes, combed her hair, and made her way above deck. To the stern of the ship, the aforementioned breeze, and the vast sea in their wake.

Still, she gripped the railing and stared, as if she looked with enough intensity she could still see Tokyo and the lives they, temporarily at least, left behind. And sighed.

One year, three months, and a handful of days: that was how long since that night atop the ferris wheel in Cape May. That was also how long Sonia had decided to begin a romantic relationship with Minato Arisato, kept hidden from the rest of the world. It hadn't even been her choice, not entirely: soon after her first journey home after America, her father had given her an ultimatum.

He would consent to her romance if it remained a secret to the public, and in public-facing situations she appeared available and interested, or she would give him up. Hardly the most romantic of conversations for a couple in their honeymoon period, and so Sonia had never mentioned the details to him after. Simply the consistent reassurance that they were fine.

They were fine, each time the tabloids ran rampant with rumors about a potential love affair for the Princess of Novoselic.

They were fine, each time she agreed to attend a formal dinner with a suitor of her parents' choosing. Under the guise it was simply 'friendly,' and yet each choice was a suitable age, with a suitable family name, heritage, and interest in her to boot.

They were fine, during each ball she attended with a full list of dance partners, each one deliberately photographed and sent to interested members of the press. The most recent had been less than a week ago: her last birthday, the annual Masquerade Ball. Even with a mask over her eyes, her identity was clear as day to anyone in attendance. And anyone who held an interest in the Novoselic Royal Family. Minato had seen them, of course: and yet he insisted they were fine. They were fine.

Even though this holiday had been planned long before the autumn events at home, Sonia couldn't help but wonder if he felt put out about it all. Jealous even, that she simply couldn't bring him home to Novoselic and thrust him into the royal limelight. This venture would be the former for him: he was bringing her to his hometown, a thought that brought a chill down her spine, one that had nothing to do with the weather: did he expect the same sometime soon?

She swallowed: even as she could hear voices from land ahead, the boat coming in to dock at Tatsumi Port Island, her thoughts were several thousand kilometers away. In Novoselic, in a family that would hesitate at best to welcome a Japanese orphan with the most questionable of career paths, one the Princess of Novoselic and the Royal Family could not be seen supporting.

Her internal panic was short-lived. For now at least, as the boat came to a shuddering halt in port and Sonia was grateful for the stern's railing to steady herself. She hastened towards the ramp that would take them to land, with only her hand luggage in tow as Minato had seen to the rest himself.

So she laughed, pulling her camel trench coat tighter around her: her merino cardigan and brushed wool skirt had been plenty warm enough in the below deck stateroom, but on land and beside the sea, she found herself shivering. "Do you suppose that if you did not host Paranormal Quest, you might fancy yourself as a tour guide?" She chided him, allowing him to lead her towards the benches to wait. During her flight back to Japan from Novoselic, Sonia had taken the time to both sample some of the treats she brought back from home (the private plane was a blessing for so many reasons: one of which was it could hold enough of Novoselic's culinary delicacies to satisfy her lover's appetite for snacks) and read about Iwatodai City. "I believe I read that your hometown has gained notoriety for its onsens, its hiking and gardens, and its shopping districts. Is that correct? It has been ages since I've visited a ryokan." There was only so much she could learn from books: she'd much rather hear of his experiences, anyway.

@hxpelessnurse || Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair AU Call

Ever since he had been fortunate enough to be included in the selection of talents that would be attending Hope’s Peak Academy, he had actually been looking forward to his future, he had heard lots of great things about the school, the fact that everyone who graduated from there became very successful individuals, was enough to motivate him to give it his best shot, ever since that tragic day where he lost his parents, nothing in life seemed bright anymore. There were goals and aspirations, but little to no motivation or inspiration, life had color, but it was very dim, it was like he lost the joy of doing pretty much anything. He was living, but he wasn’t alive, that was how he felt, it wasn’t a great feeling, but it had been one that he’d been used too for so long, maybe after Hope’s Peak, he’d have his eyes fully set on the future, that was what he thought anyway. One moment, he was sitting at his desk meeting their teacher, who for some reason, was a magical-talking-stuffed-rabbit,(Which already told him something was off) and the next moment, he was on some tropical island with everyone else who was supposed to be in his class.

How did Monami just expect everyone to willingly go along with the idea of living with each other on some uncharted island in the middle of nowhere? It wouldn’t be that simple, especially since there were a few people here who seemed like they preferred to keep their distance from everyone, something Minato could relate to, but unlike those people, at least he was actually trying to socialize, despite how difficult it could be, there wasn’t really any choice but to, it would be kind of tough to get along with everyone and peacefully coexist if not one even bothered to talk to each other, he was stuck with these people for probably the rest of his life, so he may as well attempt to be social, even if he wasn’t used to it.

After spending most of the beginning of the day walking around the island to get used to the place he’d be living in for who knows when, Minato was surprised to see that this place had quite a lot to offer for a mere island. Aside from the beach they all awoke on, they were each given their own individual cottage to stay in located near the hotel, there was also restaurant right by them, and outside the gate to their living quarters, within walking distance, was an airport, a ranch, an even a grocery store called the Rocketpunch Mart, while at the airport, Minato had realized they were on Jabberwock Island, inside its hotel, was an old infirmary, one that was rumored to be very haunted, and being the Ultimate Paranormal Investigator, there was no way he wouldn’t check it out.

Inside of the aforementioned room, Minato was investigating, using and EMF Detector too see if he could pick up any unnatural spikes in the electro magnetic field, he’d been here for twenty minutes already, and sadly, picked up nothing. Moments later, he heard the sound of the door open with a creak, it was the Ultimate Nurse, Mikan Tsumiki, considering her talent, he should have expected her to check this place out. He greets her with a casual wave.

[{ 🦋 }] - “Oh, hey Tsumiki-San. Did you come to check out if the rumors about the ghost in this room were true too?”
