[compendiem]

RO is one of Minato's favorites simply on the account that she gave him a stupid nickname and got him a boar haha The fact that she agrees with his ridiculous requests without complaint and gives him straightforward answers to his questions and doesn't make things complicated, those are all things he appreciates a lot because it makes things easy but at the same time it makes him uneasy. Minato goes around saying he doesn't plan on being friends with anybody but RO takes him to the inn and he's having fun despite her being serious about something serious, and he's trying to find that balance between being a friend and being an Attendant because there should be a line somewhere? he doesn't know. But what Minato wants most for people is to encourage them to be able to do things on their own, solve things for themselves because it'll mean more and they can be proud of themselves and he doesn't have to be a part of it— hence never helping out when they do things together and he can tell she's frustrated at him about that haha So he tries to draw the line but then she says she'll go to Mondo instead of him to fix her hand and he's just "haha cool, yeah, that makes sense" even though he was slightly bummed she chose the logical better option. I don't know. He doesn't know either so he's just going to be an Attendant and see how it goes.

[reveilation]

RO is cool bc she's level-headed unlike practically every other person Kido knows, and it's very relieving being around her bc she's somebody Kido can rely on without feeling like she has to keep it together all the time. she's a very grounding presence haha... the whole leadership thing is still something Kido struggles with and forces on her end, so being told that she would make a good leader made her really happy and encourages her to keep on trying, even if she feels like RO would do a better job since she's more used to fighting and won't freak out like Kido will. RO has her own place and can understand D&D manuals so wow, she's so cool, Kido looks up to her a lot

[not_that_sasuke]

RO is smart, practical, and dependable. ...Like, it's actually kind of causing Sasuke problems, because she's dependable enough to keep an eye on him which is bad because that is the opposite of what he wants. She's a really good person, and he admires that a lot, he just... wishes she would be a good person at other people who actually deserve it?

He's still pretty sure that she's the one who paid the hospital bill and has just kind of resigned himself to making himself useful to her whenever he can find an opportunity because there's no way in hell she'll ever let him pay her back properly 8|;;;

[rabbeats]

Will Hibiki ever realize that she's an android? Who knows. It's not like it's going to change much, though. RO is reliable and while he's a bit embarrassed to be leaning on someone that much, he's mostly glad that there's someone he can ask to accompany him to fight in the dungeons. At the same time, he doesn't want it just to be a relationship based on mutual benefit—Hibiki would like to get to know her better because she seems focused on work and fulfilling tasks. Maybe a bit too much, even. He knows the art of chill and he'd love to teach her how to relax and enjoy stuff. He's really glad that there's someone as competent as RO in Hirajiro, but he would hate it if she felt too pressured which is one of the reasons why he wants to become stronger, too. Hibiki doesn't like how difficult it is to imagine RO asking for someone's help, but if she did come to him and wanted his assistance, he wouldn't give it a second thought and simply follow her and do whatever she wanted him to do. It makes him remember that his friends would do the same back home and leaves him wondering about the nature of leadership in general. Congrats RO, you made his single brain cell work really hard.

It's a small thing, but he likes how they have matching phone straps now—RO feels a little distant, but even though it's naive, it's nice to have this kind of connection of her, even if it's simple.

Aru-ta~n ♡

Leon adores RO a whole lot!! She's like an oneesan to him, and he knows for sure he can count on her anytime. He thinks she's a little peculiar, especially in the way she reacts and words things, but that's also one of the reasons why he likes her so much... it's so cute! She's so cute! And he likes being around her so much! RO's just so reliable and fun to talk to and it makes Leon feels at ease when she's around!

It's really interesting for him because people either try to meet Leon halfway with the way he does things, or just tell him off for it, even getting exasperated, but RO is none of those, she just looks at him calmly and comments at him logically. It's like getting scanned and analysed, and that's super neat! RO had told Leon early in the beginning about that she isn't human, but it goes right over Leon's head because all he cares about that is that it sounds super cool!! After all, Aru-tan is Aru-tan and that's all that matters to him.

Sasuke Sagami

[not_that_sasuke]

Hit me with those CR notes that I'm sure are very in depth and not just "weird quiet kid."

it's okay we all know he's just a weird quiet kid and that's fine

[overstrain]

Sasuke is... that kid that Terry started giving sidequests to, and he eventually grew fond of him. Terry thought that Sasuke was a NPC at first from how average he looked and how his age felt fitting to be in a school festival where he first met him, so that's... quite an impression. Though he did eventually find out he's one of the Persona users, or at the very least not a NPC. Terry didn't see him around town before, so he figured that he must have been new, so that's why he gave Sasuke the side quests. Starting off on your own is hard, and he might as well help this kid get started even though he himself didn't have much money to begin with at the time.

Then when they met again when Sasuke came to turn in his quest, Terry was actually kinda worried that maybe he stepped on his toes regarding his pinpointing example, so he tried to mitigate the damage as much as he could, but he was glad when they met after that (kitty trails) that things seemed to be fine. Terry also kinda finds it funny that Sasuke constantly seems to backpedal on things that slip out sometimes, but as of their most recent thread, Terry felt comfortable enough to tell Sasuke that he isn't human and stuff, and hopefully making Sasuke comfortable in return as to not... backpedal so much...

Anyway, Terry thinks Sasuke is nice to hang out with, even if he's quiet. He still thinks Sasuke has nerves of steel and impressive reflexes, so it makes him curious about what made him shape into the person he is today. Though he still promised him that he wouldn't use pinpointing on him unless there's an emergency, he hopes that one day they can talk things out!

Also, it's hard to get genuinely mad at him, because... he feels that he's a nice kid despite the gloominess.

[compendiem]

Sasuke continues to be wildly concerning all the time idk Minato feels that if he forgets about the whole Guest/Attendant thing, he'd really like Sasuke because he's quiet and they can both just lie there in comfortable silence and never talk and it'll be fine, but he has some obligation to guide Sasuke especially after knowing about his feelings towards his Persona. he wants to help Sasuke through it, but again he has that preconceived notion that he cannot be directly involved in his Guests lives because that's not his place, so he tries to steer Sasuke towards friends he doesn't have, to open up and show him places he likes that don't exist, and it's hard because Sasuke's like him and doesn't like talking and he knows that people forcing him and backing him into a corner will only breed resentment and tighter lips so it's hard. It's why he keeps looking at Souji to know how to handle these sorts of people haha... It's also hard because Sasuke keeps looking to him for what he wants to do or see, when it's supposed to be the other way around, and Minato feels less like an Attendant and more like a normal person and he's not sure if that's good or bad. Essentially, he knows that what Sasuke wants is time and space, and Minato doesn't want to be pushy about it, so he's just going to hope there are pushier people around here to help this kid

[reveilation]

Sasuke is a weird quiet kid haha
he's also on Kido's shitlist bc she keeps assuming things that he has nothing to do with and isn't his fault, whoops. he's incredibly worrisome because he lived in the mountains or whatever, and makes himself small and quiet and doesn't want to be in the way and Kido's /: about that because that's how she was when she was five or whatever and it was a trauma thing. she can tell he's the sort of person who likes doing things on his own (+ his cat) but she doesn't believe people should live alone like that when they should all be helping each other out
she gave him one job and it was to look after Rei and shortly after she sees Rei collapsed on the street and is under the impression that she got mugged and when Kido finds out that Sasuke abandoned Rei to live in the Velvet Room, she's going to fight him
Kurou is cute and she likes Kurou but he also doesn't act like a normal cat so she's sort of weirded out by it adsflkjh

[rabbeats]

Sasuke is a weird sleepy kid. Hibiki is worried about him because he doesn't seem to care about himself at all and that's obviously no good. They haven't talked too much yet because of Sasuke's condition when he arrived in Hirajiro, but he kind of gave him that "this kid won't open up easily" vibe. Mostly because Hibiki's similar about opening up, haha. It's okay though, these things take time...

Or, well, you can always have a shadow just spill the beans (:

[crimess]

Mae's hunch is telling her that this kid is a wreck, but she can't really figure out what's wrong since she's not the sharpest tool in the shed. As a fellow wreck, she kind of gets that Sasuke might not want to talk about this (if she doesn't want to share personal stuff then why would someone else do it), but it's not going to stop her from bothering him every now and then just to chat him up. She's curious about his home a little and she might ask a few insensitive questions in the future because that's just how Mae is...

[16lab]

The thing about RO's programming as with all other T-Dolls like her, is that they cannot intentionally harm a human. If there's also one in danger, RO cannot simply leave them alone. Since that happened to coincide with the fact that she heard Terry die last month, she didn't want anyone to die, therefore, she dumped him into the hospital with all expenses paid. I wish I could say it was because she was being nice, but it's really just... her programming. lol. Despite that, it's not like she'd just ditch him there even if she wasn't programmed anyway. She's all for justice.

Nevertheless, she wants Sasuke to take care of himself and would probably ask him to go on dungeons with her every now and then that I failed to mention in any of our previous threads lmao... I'll... get to that eventually. She just wants people to stay safe. Why is this so hard in Cetana.

... Anyway, she thinks he needs to live a little. She's the robot here, not you, Sasuke.

Terrence Nowell

[overstrain]

in which only a few people actually call him by terrence

[compendiem]

Terry is so weird lmfao he's very fun and Minato likes watching him even if being around him is kind of exhausting. he's fun to tease and joke around with but for Minato to be like that it's incredibly draining and he wants to sleep for days after, maybe because he's just not used to being outside and enjoying himself, it's tiring. he's sort of an asshole to Terry but thinks that Terry wouldn't hesitate to retaliate if something really pissed him off- he's not scared of the Attendants or thinks of them as almighty beings with all the answers in the palm of their hands and that honestly helps a lot, not being elevated and then subsequently disappointing everybody because he and Souji are still figuring things out too. Also Terry is the first person to ask Minato about himself and ask about whether he wanted to get his lost memories back and Minato didn't care for 2304958345809 years and now the awareness is there and he can't turn away from being curious about these memories he didn't care about for all this time and when he gets slammed aith 1633 memories it'll be Terry's fault, he opened the floodgates

red

[laconism]

[not_that_sasuke]

Sasuke mostly feels like he needs to stay away from Red as much as possible, ahaha. He saw the fear his appearance caused and he knows firsthand the kind of pain Yuusuke's capable of inflicting, so that + the increasing evidence that Yuusuke could have totally died under the circumstances Akira described make him inclined to believe that Red really was forced to kill Yuusuke when Yuusuke attacked him. It's something he knows Yuusuke was capable of from the start, even if he didn't really believe Yuusuke would take it that far, but knowing what he does now, he can figure more or less what Yuusuke's motives were (beyond just, y'know, survival and all).

Anyway. He pretty much figures at this point that Red is not going to want to see him around, but he feels like he takes some of the blame since Yuusuke's his twin and, y'know, maybe if he was better at generally existing and doing things he could have stopped Yuusuke?? Somehow??? (murder is how) (this never would have happened but it's Sasuke so he's got to blame himself one way or another). As it is, if he sees Red around at times where he feels he can help, he'll probably send Kurou along for aid or try to otherwise be sneaky sneaky about helping. He's like a stage hand, ignore the quiet ninja trying to set things up to make life a little easier, everything's fine.

[bandwidthout]

shut up and answer the question, ori

hibiki kuze

[rabbeats]

[overstrain]

Hibinyan is forever Terry's heart healer even when he's curious about green dick chariots.

To Terry, Hibiki is the one person who never minds hanging out with, no matter how he feels like at the moment. Even if there are times when Terry wants to be alone, he wouldn't mind if Hibiki came to just sit with him anyway. Even though he was pretty much high on painkillers in the hospital, he did mean it when he said that Hibiki does make him feel better. They joke around, talk about the most mundane things, flirt with/fluster each other for fun... and it's really things like that, that makes Terry really appreciative of Hibiki just... existing, tbh. He honestly doesn't have to do much, and lately, he really needs more of those lighthearted moments as compared to when they first met, being carefree idiots who didn't know any better about Hirajiro and everything else. Hibiki's an important person in Terry's life, despite how distant he seems to be sometimes. Why won't you talk about yourself more, Punmaster... you feel so far away. :( He also just accepts him for who he is, and feels like he understands the whole "being reckless" thing since that's a trait they share. Ha.

They make good memories together, and Terry will keep them close to his heart even though he's been having spotty memory from all the mental stress he's been enduring nowadays. :')

Needless to say, if something dire happened to Hibiki, Terry would absolutely flip his shit.

your local clown denizen, minato arisato

[compendiem]

[overstrain]

They had a rough start, but it's not like Terry hates Minato or anything. His opinion of him was pretty much like a roller coaster though--from the demons that was supposedly summoned, to someone he lashed out on under stress, to... just being a person like everyone else, despite his position as an Attendant. Once he understood that, Minato became significantly less scary (even with his gold eyes) and he feels like he kinda understands after extracting some info about him with pinpointing, regarding the "having expectations placed upon him even when he's still trying to figure things out" because that's how Terry feels when the average human tries to revere him as a higher being due to his... demigod clone status. It happened before. He didn't like that. lol. His perspective on Minato really changed during the bear meat thread when he saw that he could smile like everyone else and listened to him like a kid when he told him to wake Souji up to eat. His smile was really nice to see, because Terry likes seeing other people happy. So he'll do his best to shake up his bear meat cooking every single time to see it again.

He's also a little worried about Minato, even if he seems like he's fine after he learned that Attendants could get sick too, and for the fact that Terry learned that Minato was a regular Persona user like them, but somehow became an Attendant? Though he did also hear that Minato went to the Velvet Room himself as a Guest too, so Terry's starting to think if the Velvet Room, whoever controls it, picks a Persona user to become an Attendant to replace the older ones... or to station new ones in another Velvet Room setting (he also heard that it wasn't like a train either). Like... what happened so that Minato and Souji became Attendants and forgot so many things? That's his biggest reason in wanting to help Minato restore his memories. Something seems... off...

I was serious when I said Minato does remind Terry of a younger Jace, and maybe that's why he's a little more willing to visit him often and treat him like a friend. Though he won't say that Minato is outright like him because... they're not, down to the core. lol.

also 8/10 pillow. would use again. sorry, souji.

mae borowski

[crimess]

[not_that_sasuke]

Cat??????

Honestly half the time he's not 100% sure what she's talking about, but he's chalking that up mostly to culture differences. He's not really sure what she's aiming to do or, indeed, if she's aiming to do anything in particular - she seems fine with just shooting the shit, which is fine.

...He's so curious about where she comes from, though...

rei

[flowerclips]

if you feed her, you are considered her best friend. i have finished my side of the meme

[compendiem]

what if you feed her carolina reaper stir fry, are they still friends...
Rei running up to him like they're best friends and Minato just goes "cool" because it's really nice having somebody come up to you smiling and excited to see you. so yeah! Rei is great! Minato is teaching her terrible things but it's great seeing somebody who can be optimistic about stuff, who tastes his unsalvageable cooking and says she'll eat it anyways because he made it, who believes him about birds and wants to show all her friends, who he tries to get her to admit that not all ghosts are scary bc he likes ghosts and monsters and thinks they're cool.
he's aware that she knows him and Souji and past memories are something he doesn't want to touch rn so he's never going to bring any of it up even though she's trying hard to get them to remember things, so... laughs, yeah, Rei is great to have around if they're just hanging out and not doing anything serious

souji seta

[tarotcards]

and i guess if you bring souji cats, he'll give you weapons and love like a normal person

[compendiem]

Souji is his best friend on the account of him being Minato's only friend, but it's something he feels like would never change, it's sort of like that soul mate thing where it feels like you've known somebody for forever except that's how it actually is, being together for ??? number of years and things always being comfortable around Souji. Minato tends to get bored of things pretty easily and likes new and exciting things but it's been forever with Souji and it's never boring. sometimes Minato is worried he's the boring one? but they were stuck on the train this entire time so Souji couldn't escape him and so he never really addressed it. anyways he trusts Souji a lot and likes that Souji lets him do whatever the hell he wants and he admires his ability to keep a smile on his face even when everybody around him is being a disaster and wants to see him happy even if, by the end of the game, the Velvet Room houses every single cat from Hirajiro, he'll live with it if that makes Souji happy

AKIRA KURUSU | ARCHER

[infiltrationtools]

I'm at work rn but I'll start TLDRing tonight!

[not_that_sasuke]

Akira, like Red, is someone Sasuke's more or less decided to avoid since he got wrapped up in the Yuusuke business. He's kind of inwardly blaming himself for never being strong enough to beat Yuusuke, as if that would have prevented the death he caused - and what he did to Red. Being real it probably wouldn't have changed much but Sasuke is a pro at blaming himself for anything and everything.

He doesn't really dislike Akira or anything, though! He's pretty grateful Akira went out of his way to explain what happened to him. He feels kind of bad for bringing it up in the first place though, since it wasn't really the easiest conversation for either of them. Basically, he won't immediately flee if he happens to run into Akira around, and he'll stick around if Akira seems to want him there for some reason; he just wants to give Akira space. This is definitely him perceiving even more problems than there actual are.

ENKIDU | ARCHER

[claytools]

Still at work! Still love you all!

[reveilation]

SHE THINKS ENKIDU IS SO SHADY LMFAO she doesn't know what to do about them... Their first meeting was so awkward because it was just her getting turned away and told to forget about it and never mind and everything, and she was so frustrated because in weird situations like this, she thought people should be helping each other out, and Enkidu wouldn't even let her see their phone and looked like they were keeping secrets so she threw a silent hissy fit and walked away haha... But I'm glad she was able to catch them later and try again, even if it was similarly frustrating but it worked better talking about something productive instead of her demanding things. She felt like she was helping, just a little... But she hopes Enkidu can find something that they enjoy doing and maybe the productivity and the income will help a little? who knows

The Corn

[trabryu]

[reveilation]

Her best bro.......
Kido's really glad that Mondo's here, because there are so many other characters that Kido doesn't feel exactly level with- like she has to take care of people because they're younger or because they're dumb and careless and whatever, but she feels like she's at the same level as Mondo because he can look after himself and is a gang leader and knows that need to take care of what's theirs. It's evident that he's a good guy because of how much he looks out for others, how the first thing he worried about when they met was Kido bleeding all over the place, and during that first Lockdown where their priorities aligned in making sure their friends are safe. He cares about the townspeople here and not just the people who woke up at the castle, and that's something that's kind of rare when she sees people wondering about the sickness because of how it affected their friends and turned them into zombies, but Mondo cares about people in the town because they're people too. Also, unlike practically everybody else she knows, when he catches her being scared of bugs and stuff he doesn't tease her about it and she's really appreciative of that sort of awareness. He's serious about what matters, is surprisingly caring, and the two of them see eye to eye about a lot of things, so he's a really good friend to her and she's proud to call him that.

LEÓN

[tantantaaan]

[reveilation]

And then on the flipside there's Leon who makes her want to scream in frustration lmao
He's just really cheerful and pushy and doesn't listen to her and she can't deal with those sorts of people haha... Honestly, the only reason she doesn't punch him even if she's irritated by everything he is is because she thinks that if she does, he'll definitely cry asdflkjh like she'll punch Hibiki and Terry because they just sort of laugh it off and can take her punches, but she looks at Leon and thinks she'll probably break a rib or something if she punches him. He would probably get it if she actually took the time to explain why she hates nicknames and is sensitive about her family and stuff like that, but she doesn't so... he has to suffer her yelling at him all the time... It got better in the Tanabata thread? It got better when the focus was off her and why she's irrationally angry at him, and it got better once Leon tempered down a little and started watching what he says, because the force of his personality can be overwhelming. That brand of cheerfulness and energy is honestly a great thing to see, and she doesn't want to squash it out of him or make him change away from all that, so long as it's directed at other people and not her haha
