closed | a day of relaxation for everyone's souls

[elevelvetor]

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. ]

[deathboss]

Wow, that guy sounds rude...

[Black Frost...somehow the name almost seems familiar...but not quite...]

Pale Rider...wait you can summon a rider of the apocalypse? That's so metal, bro.

[He only knows this because he's played a few view games with a Pale Rider.]

...now I'm going to imagine you in a spooky outfit, with the fog machine and arriving on the scene with a pale horse...

[compendiem]

Both the rider and his horse. But anyways, I'm not summoning ever again, so you'll have to keep imagining it.

[deathboss]

Huh?

[???]

...did something happen?

[compendiem]

[ Yes, but he doesn't want to say it. ]

Don't feel like it. I'm waiting for you to become a hero so you can take my job.

[deathboss]

[Uhhhhh...]

Oh. I thought we could be more like...a bunch of heroes actually.

[As much as Michel wants to push it it's...not his place to judge? Some people might just want to be at home and relax. Having your eyes opened to this shit is pretty dramatic, all things considered.]

[compendiem]

[ The disappointment is palpable, and Minato does feel a little badly about it. He'd seen how excited Michel was when he first found out about everything, and Minato isn't even withdrawing in some well deserved retirement fashion or anything. It's just guilt, and fear. Nothing heroic at all. ]

There are different ways to be a hero. My Personas are just really offence oriented. I want to see if I can learn anything new.

[deathboss]

[Oh!]

So less fighter, and more white mage or bard? Ur um...what was that other class in the game [he snaps his fingers trying to remember.] Monk! No wait, monk just fought with their fists...sage? I think it was Sage.

[compendiem]

[ Minato would have vetoed that "bard" right away because he can't sing aside from the Burn My Dread rap he has on his mp3 player and had himself memorize. All that other stuff he can't verify or deny, but Michel seems to get what he's trying to do. ]

Like that. Sort of in the background, smiting people from afar instead of on the front lines.

[deathboss]

Well if that's your wish, then I'll totally see what I can do to make it happen...

[Oh! He has this lightbulb moment in his head as his eyes snap wide open and he yells the next part.]

FIELD COMMANDER! You'd be a field commander! ...you're gonna need a megaphone.

[compendiem]

[ Field commander... That's what he used to be, in his memories, but he'd never really gotten to know his group as well as he'd like. It'd be nice if they were friends, like working with the people here, or working with Michel.

... ]

If everybody fights quietly, I wouldn't need a megaphone.

[ Is that too much to ask. ]

[deathboss]

Considering what I've seen of everyone here so far, you're like asking the moon out of everyone here, bro.

[He means this in the nicest way possible.]

Maybe if we got you a hands-free microphone and everyone else bluetooth headsets? That could work without as much screaming. It might block your hearing ability by one ear, mind you.

[compendiem]

I function with only one eye. I can manage one ear.

[ Bluetooth headsets are really cool too? They're super fancy, and maybe they'll look like an actual professional team instead of a ragtag group of teenagers thrown together and have absolutely no business fighting. ]

[deathboss]

Then maybe I should suggest it! The network's pretty useful but having a few extra things plugged into it could give us a nice advantage. I even have some night vision googles at home!

...it was for a video.

[A lot of things he owns are 'it was for a video' apparently.]
