WHO: Minako Arisato and YOU!
WHERE: All over Recollé
WHEN: All of June
WHAT: Performing tasks for Zee, and anything else she's going to do for the rest of the month
WARNINGS: None for now. Feel free to PM this journal or message me at raynestorm if you want to work out something for a prompt!

FOR THE GOOD OF THE CITY
Anywhere in Recollé; any time of the month

[Minako's list of available prompts is here! I'm open to doubling up, but no more than that, please. If you're looking for an excuse to bump into her randomly instead of doing something preplanned, the Confectionary prompt would be best, since she works there!]

A PUPPY PHONE
Anywhere in Recollé; any time of the month
"Do something nice for your neighbor" for Viea Village, or "pamper someone" for Enprise

Hmm...how am I supposed to do this without ruining your Evoker?

[It's a question asked to the air. You might find Minako walking her silver Shiba Inu on the streets, looking at some Bluetooth devices on her phone's browser-- or maybe she's in the electronics store, browsing the shelves. Either way, Koromaru is patiently walking beside her, making sure his Leader doesn't trip or bang her head on something as she muses to herself.]

Maybe I should just experiment. If I break your collar beyond repair, thanks to Retrospec it'll come back brand new...probably.

[Koromaru gives an agreeing bark.]

Okay, let's do that then. [And noticing someone near her, she waves them down.] Hey there! Question for you! What brand would you recommend for a Bluetooth device?

[Or maybe you see a text message from her.]

if I wanted to give my puppy a phone in his collar, how would I go about doing that?

[SHE MISSES HIM OF COURSE but Terra left a couple months ago, those three were just from this month :c]

I hope you can breathe easier now, then. [The smile slips into a little huff of breath and a pout.] And if he was, he didn't tell me.

[There's no bitterness in saying it where there might've been before, only mild exasperation now.]

You should go talk to him, though. Don't let him go into his hidey holes.

[androidheart]

I'll do more than talk to him. I've been waiting to give him a real piece of my mind.

. . .

Actually, I have a question...

[Purses her lips, continuing to split attention between doggie and minako]

Where did Koromaru come from?

[complementing]

[A real piece of her mind? That gets a curious eyebrow arch from her, but the topic change is too blatant for her to ignore, either.]

Korochan came from Retrospec. Last year, he was left on my apartment doorstep, and he's been with me ever since. Why do you ask?

[androidheart]

Doesn't that mean that the Koromaru that...this Koromaru, I mean.

Is he the...real Koromaru, then? Assuming the objects we get are the real thing and not copies, that would mean...

[GESTURES TO DOGGO]

[complementing]

Have you gotten memories of a girl named Fuuka Yamagishi? When I went to see her, Korochan knew her straightaway, even though he'd never met her before that. So I've always had this hunch that he is the real Koromaru, and not a copy. [A little shrug.] I have no proof. Just a feeling.

[And if it's true, she feels kind of bad that she's not his Minako. But she thinks he's happy in this life, at least, and that helps her feel better about it.]

[androidheart]

Do you think...I knew him? Since we come from the same place...

Although, I guess the other me is pretty different, huh Koromaru?

Koromaru...Maybe he knows everything. If only you could tell us...

[complementing]

I know you knew him.

[Koromaru blinks up at Angela and wags his tail. Aigis, Angela...Iwatodai Minako and Recollé Minako. He loves all of them the same, and he wishes he could tell them. As if picking up on his thoughts, Minako perks up a bit, snapping her fingers.]

Oh that's right! The other you was able to understand dog language. Maybe you'll get that eventually. Then you could ask him everything.

[androidheart]

...Hold on, you're right! I just remembered exactly that! Koromaru and I were able to speak to each other!

...What a blessing, after receiving so much negativity...

[complementing]

[A blink, and then a warm smile.]

I'm glad you were able to get a good memory.

[Koromaru perks his ears forward, and then rubs his cheek up against Angela's. He's glad too!]

Korochan has given me a lot of good memories, both in this life and my past life. If you'd ever like to see if he can do the same for you, you can visit him anytime you like.
