closed | a day of relaxation for everyone's souls

WHO: Persona peeps + Elliot
WHERE: An exceptionally nice bathhouse-spa-restaurant, reserved for a day
WHEN: March 17th, 12PM to 8PM
WHAT: Persona meeting #4 as hosted by Elizabeth, due to a conversation with Akira
WARNINGS: Make your own top levels, though everything in the third prompt will have its own section to keep things nice and neat. (did i smash rayne and hei's text together? a little)

I. TAKE A LOAD OFF
[ The spa is all paid for, as are the treatments, so why not take advantage of it? There's plenty to do, from all kinds of massages, to mud and ash baths, to a sauna, nail and hair salon, etc... Essentially if there's something for comfort, it's here, so don't think too hard about it. ]

II. GET SOME PRACTICE IN
[ Want to train? Well, today's host has a relaxed "no overworking" policy for today, but the spa does have a gym in reserve if you really, really want to do something. Whatever's in a gym is in this one, including a room that seems to usually be used for things like yoga classes or kickboxing or something? It's big, so there's plenty of room, but, like

please don't break anything. ]


III. I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE SOME ACTUAL DISCUSSION THOUGH
[ For those that get hungry, you're in luck: the meeting proper is being held in the restaurant attached to this particularly fancy spa, at around 6pm. Eat some healthy, refreshing food (though you can technically do this whenever during your stay, this is the Official Dinner Meeting Time) and talk about the following things:

• Newbie introductions
• Team building (share/discuss/get to know each other + trust exercises)
• Memories/Retrospec shenanigans
• Items and abilities from Retrospec
• Privacy issues (Personas are free to be talked about, but other issues may have come up)
• Free discussion/advice corner

Elizabeth's also procured some whiteboards and markers, if illustrating things is easier for you, or if you want add to Yukiko's relationship board (which has made its reappearance once again). Don't worry about being overheard—connections being what they are, this room is fairly private and the waiters only come when called. Elizabeth's made arrangements with her fancy connections. ]

[Naoto is quiet at that. Minako is so up-front about it, about... her death.

She takes some time before responding.]
I'm very sorry to hear that. I would have liked to get to meet you. The other me, I mean, and the other you.

[A breath.] If it's not too forward, may I ask what-- rather, how...?
complementing: (✿ i can hear it [ KOHRYU ])

[personal profile] complementing 2018-03-21 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure the other me would've liked to meet the other you, too.

[She brushes back her bangs, nodding mutely.]

Yukiko and I think...it must've been some after effect of fighting Nyx. She was the only one who faced her. She was in there, all alone.

Then it was a result of extraordinary heroism. [Not a question. Just a quiet statement.]

How do you feel about it?
complementing: (✿ melody of the soul [ CHIMERA ])

[personal profile] complementing 2018-03-22 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...hard to think about, honestly. I already had nightmares of fighting Nyx, and now I know I'll have nightmares of this.

[personal profile] truedetective 2018-03-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Quietly.] I can only imagine. I'm sorry.

I imagine your heroism is small comfort, compared to the cost.
complementing: (✿ different strokes [ NAGA ])

[She hums softly, twisting her fingers together.]

It does get pretty bad. At least with Nyx, I can fight off my fears. But this...isn't as easy as that. [She smiles wryly.] I'm trying to numb myself to it. Probably not a healthy way to deal with it, though.

[personal profile] truedetective 2018-03-30 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
...numb yourself? How so?

[She says with great concern. Are you drugging yourself, Minako?!]
complementing: (✿ you don't say [ DECARABIA ])

[NO NEED FOR CONCERN, the only things she's addicted to are sugar and coffee.]

Oh-- you know. Thinking about it and getting more and more used to the idea of my passing. [Her face twists unhappily.] Not really working though, as you can imagine.

[personal profile] truedetective 2018-04-02 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Good!

There's a quiet nod on Naoto's part.]
All right.

I imagine it's hard. You can't exactly see a therapist for something like that, for obvious reasons.

But if there's anything any of us can do to help...
