intro week, Sunday

[messianic]

[There are a few people that, after everything, Minato wants to check on, and Inaba happens to be one of them. The way that she had reacted to him when they were walking out in the cold, and knowing the whole situation now...?

Maybe she was right about that trust, and how he shouldn't trust the people here. But...for now, he'd like to continue to do so.

And the first step in that is checking in on the people who were kind to him while they were out there before.

So he finds her in the restaurant, and walks in quietly, hands tucked in his pockets.]

Inaba-san...? Are you busy?

oh my god that text post wtf

[dereban]

[ And Inaba is here with. . . a cup of coffee and curry katsudon. She's using a spoon and fork as her choice of utensils instead of chopsticks, but she does stop when she's mentioned, chewing and swallowing before finally speaking up. ]

I'm not busy. Why?

i had to find something perfect for logical inaba

[messianic]

[He does feel a little bad interrupting her meal... oops.]

Sorry... I won't take up too much of your time.

But a lot has happened already, so I guess I just wanted to see if you were doing okay.

week 1, Friday

[messianic]

[You know what really sucks? Realizing that someone would actually do something like this, after everything. That someone would sincerely, legitimately...

... Minato finds himself wandering a bit like a ghost, but when he spies Inaba in the dining room... he comes closer. His body language is far more muted now, though, shoulders hanging.]

... Inaba-san. Hey.

[... But really, he doesn't know what to say. All of that faith, and yet...]

[dereban]

[ Maybe Minato's optimistic, but Inaba herself is-- was not. Not in the slightest bit. But she does notice that his body language is a little different and that's.

Hm. ]

Hey. Are you alright?

[messianic]

[Well...

Minato shrugs a little, hands shoved deeply into his pockets.]

... It's hard to process that someone really did die last night. That's...all.

week 2, thursday

[messianic]

[It's Thursday evening, and they all know what that means... but it's really not that late in the evening when Minato heads on over and knocks on Inaba's door.

After all, even if they talked it over at the meeting, and he has to respect her decision... he still wants to talk to her and check in and make sure she's okay.]

[dereban]

[ She hears the knock and then opens the door, just a crack, not enough to let someone in, though. ]

... hi.

[messianic]

Hey.

[He doesn't seem to mind; he'll stand out in the hallway!]

I just wanted to come by and check in before bed.

week 2, friday

[dereban]

[ HEY LOOK AT who's pale af and is searching out for Minato on purpose because it's totally not Inaba! Not at all.

Is he around outside of his room? If he isn't, she's gonna knock on his door. ]

[messianic]

[She's in luck! He's leaning against the wall just outside of his room, hands shoved deep down into his pockets, shoulders hunched...

He only looks up when she's gotten close, eyes widening.]

Inaba-san...

[...]

You look like you need to sit down.

[dereban]

More than sitting down, I sure fucking need someone to erase my memories.

[ She wants to forget she ever saw what she. . . saw, to be honest. ]

week 2, saturday

[dereban]

[ HEY

MINATO

open up she's knocking on your door after the trial ]

[messianic]

[HE'S OPENING UP.

He looks...really tired, and a little frazzled, but... when he sees her, his expression softens anyway.]

Inaba-san...hey. Come in.

[dereban]

[ Coming right in and taking a seat on the bed, and while she wants to say something, potentially get angry, instead she asks ー ]

Are you okay?

week 3, sunday

[messianic]

[You'd better bet that now that the insanity has died down... Minato's harassing Inaba. He hasn't gotten to properly talk to her since everything happened, and just hearing about how she's doing from Yoshi isn't good enough for him.

So--

She's getting messages!]

Inaba-san? Inaba-san, are you there?

[resortghosts]

I am.

I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday.

[messianic]

Oh thank goodness...

[He breathes that out softly, flopped back against his bed.

He doesn't know if she's here, here, or just answering his messages--so he'll just keep messaging her.]

You didn't do anything wrong. This isn't your fault... please don't apologize. It's so good to hear from you.

week 4 - late monday

[resortghosts]

Arisato.

This is an emergency and you cannot tell anyone I told you this. And uh, don't ask how I know this information. Can you do that?

[messianic]

[Well.

That's an alarming message to receive--but Minato's response is probably predictable.]

Yes, I can. I promise. What is it, Inaba-san?

[resortghosts]

So.

Atsushi got his collar taken away and that means things are gonna go to shit real fucking fast because the Lady kind of wants him to murder a bunch of people this week by turning into the tiger and going out of control and excusing it as "haha we weren't playing the game this week". Full moon is also this weekend, when he's at his strongest.

So. Yeah.

Hi. I'm panicking and have no idea what to do. Kurusu might know more about this than I do to help but it's kind of difficult for me to tell people about this. You're the second person alive that I've told, actually?

week 4, sunday

[resortghosts]

Hey.

Arisato, are you around?

[messianic]

[He... knows enough about what happened, that's for sure, to feel pretty grim about it right now.]

Yeah. Is that you, Inaba-san? Are... you holding up okay?

week 5, thursday

[resortghosts]

Hey, Arisato.

I have an important question to ask. I should have asked earlier, but the person who put that thing inside of you after the last trial. Was it the Lady that did it? It's okay if you can't tell me, but I kind of want to know to see if my theory's right.

[ Asking important questions like this is much more important than dealing with feelings, apparently. ]

[messianic]

[Pleasant topics of conversation right here.

Still... Minato only hesitates for a moment.]

Sorry... I'm really not sure. I don't remember very much of it.

[If anything at all, really... it's all a hazy mess for him until he woke up.]
