open || greek fire from the sea of her soul
WHO: Minako and YOU!
WHERE: Peach Beach late at night, Birch Hills apartment complex in Apprassage
WHEN: All month, excluding certain event days
WHAT: Feeling like she's going down a path of no return, Minako tries to summon the two beings that have recently settled into the depths of her soul...and on a more lighthearted note, she also gets involved in cosplay.
WARNINGS: Hints of Persona 3 related suicide and death. For anyone tapping into the Persona threads, I will be writing Seth in prompt 2 by default, but Card is also available to write Thanatos!Ryoji if you want your character to interact with him instead, most likely as an accidental summon on Minako's part. Let us know if you'd be okay with threadjacking or even a complete three-person thread if you want to go that route. Oh, and if you'd like an Evoker thread and a Persona thread all in one, please mention that in the header too!
I. I CHOOSETH THIS FATE OF MY OWN FREE WILL
Evoker use; Peach Beach late at night
[Okay, Peach Beach at night should have less people around than Hollingberry Fields at night, right? Right. Or so Minako tells herself, staring out into the ocean with her Evoker in her hand. The scenery is all wrong, but there's definitely no way she's pulling the stunt she's about to pull anywhere in public. Nobody needs to freak out over her looking like she's about to shoot herself in the head.
Because that's exactly what it looks like, the Evoker cradled in her palms and then lifted to her temple with an audible click of its mechanisms in her right hand. Her left is clutching at her wildly beating heart, and her finger is on the trigger. Her visions tell her that this won't end in death, logic tells her it can't because the gun doesn't fire bullets. But she's almost hyperventilating anyways, so so so afraid that she's making a mistake.
But she has to know.
Do you catch her before she pulls the trigger? Or are you drawn to the area by her cry?]
PERSONA!
II. YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ME...
Persona regains; Peach Beach late at night
See note about Thanatos!Ryoji under Warnings
[Or maybe it's none of the above, and you encounter her mid-summon. Her head violently jerks to the side, the sound of glass shattering, and where one would presume a bullet would escape, there's instead what looks to be glowing blue fragments, suspended in the air. The wind picks up around her in a self-contained tornado, and a figure bursts into existence behind her with a deafening roar.
Seth, the fire-breathing dragon, spreads its wings wide as it responds to Minako's voice, head thrown back to gaze on the moon that represents its Arcana before throwing all its fury and weight forward. An explosion of fire escapes from its mouth, parting the ocean water before them. And though it's right above her head, hot enough for her to feel like her skin is blistering, Minako doesn't flinch. She kneels wearily on the sand, yes, Seth snapping his jaws shut to return the fire to the furnace after a few moments, but she doesn't flinch.]
Maragidyne...sure takes a lot out of me. Was that four or five in a row?
III. CARD CAPTOR SAKUYA
Cosplay progress; Minako's apartment
[It might be that you don't even realize all of this Persona stuff is happening late at night, and instead you encounter Minako right outside her apartment on a sunny day. She'll be either practicing cosplay poses or perhaps walking around in a pretty white dress, and while how finished it looks depends on what time of the month you stop by, she'll be more than happy to show off what the end product is supposed to look like by practically sticking her phone in your face.]
It's Card Captor Sakuya! You know, the magical girl anime. Kiyomitsu-kun is helping me make it, but I'm breaking in the heels right now.

[Sora is once again reminded that he hasn't gotten anything in the mail. It doesn't even have to be a dragon; he'd take a lousy postcard at this rate.]
But, that's awesome!
no subject
I'm glad I could add some cool points to my tally.
[And then a little sigh as she lets her hand slip away.]
Thank you, Sora. For not freaking out.
no subject
[Like, he was genuinely surprised to see a dragon just chilling with his cousin, but he wasn't freaking out. Much.]
It's not like a dragon is weird anymore.
no subject
Well. That's true. I guess I was just worried you'd think it'd be something to be afraid of. Or that I would be someone to be afraid of, with all these changes that I'm going through...
[And she decides to confess something, show a little vulnerability, even though she's always wanted to be his unflappable older cousin.]
I don't feel like the same old Minako anymore, and it scares me.
no subject
Sora turns and stares out at the beach, trying to think of how to explain what he's thinking, but he's never been the best with words. The best he can do is try.]
Well... If it makes you feel any better, you feel like the same Minako to me. Maybe... all this stuff is just making you, more you, you know? Like, pushing you to be better or something.
I dunno.
[He smiles, and then laughs at the terrible joke he's about to say.]
And anyway, I don't think I could be afraid of you if I tried.
no subject
It's a good perspective to keep in mind, and she's about to thank him again when he makes that cheeky remark.]
Oh, because I'm too nice?
[Her eyebrows arch up in a way that says "any other answer may or may not be subject to a punishment game".]
no subject
[It's a good job that that was actually the answer Sora was planning to give. Minako is probably the nicest person he knows; maybe it runs in the family.]
So, don't worry about it too much, okay? Like, all of this is weird, but it's not gonna change who we are.
