The kinda naggy one yeah. I think she'd help if we really did need, but if your rpg magic ain't working on this I dunno why hers would. [ he huffs a sigh. while hanging off john so probably at john. ]
[There's a quiet laugh because that huff hits his ear and kind of tickles but whatever.]
Oh. She's the one who yelled about magic, right? [She yelled at John specifically but whatever.] Something about tomes. But that is really cool, Minato! Even...if it isn't working on Vriska. Isn't there a spell to heal petrification ailments? That sounds very RPG-y to me.
I can't say that petrification is a status ailment I've ever encountered [That's a Persona 1 and Persona 2 affair] but...I do have a...spell that should heal all of the status ailments someone's suffering from.
[Because he's from post-game and that makes Messiah stupidly useful.]
[ dave takes pity on john, who clearly needs to do something until distracted.
also encouraging the non breaking plan seems wise. ]
Yeah, I think blankets would be good. Might help keep her a little safer too. [ his grip on john is still loose as he waits for john to release him but there's a brief re-tensing of his arm that is a kind of awkward form of a hug. ]
[There's a nod. He can accept the awkward-hug but he's still eyeing the statue incredulously before he finally loosens his own grip on Dave's arm to let him stand up.]
It makes sense to me. Keeps other stuff from getting at her, too. And you'll tell us if anything changes right Minato?
[He's still standing there with his hands balled into fists at his sides then, not sure if leaving is the best idea but they can't do much else either.]
[He's sad, but not sad enough that he can't give Dave a slight disbelieving look even if there's a smile anyway. The offer's appreciated nevertheless but he does turn back to Minato.]
Yeah. If she is safe here there isn't much else we can do right now, so...[Come join them, basically.]

It didn't work at all, though.
no subject
Like, weird magical ailments or also the common cold?
no subject
Do we need to figure out a cure for the common cold?
no subject
... No, I can't cure colds. Just other ailments. You know--burn, and charm, and confusion. Those sorts.
[So yeah, the RPG ones.]
no subject
We absolutely don't, none of us has ever caught a common cold.
[ ever. clearly. dave definitely didn't get one of those. ]
But mostly I was curious how rpg we were talking.
no subject
Um. [Dave???] So wait what else can you do, Minato? Just healing?
no subject
Dryly, since this seems to be the tone we're taking here:]
RPG skills, mostly.
[That's what he has to offer.]
Some physical attacks, some magic, some support spells. [Sh...rug.]
no subject
[ is minato from a video game??? real questions dave considers. ]
no subject
no subject
Tower climbing, actually. [Dryly....
But yeah... Vriska...]
Either way, there still might be someone who specializes in petrification, right? We should keep looking for people who can help.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye on her and make sure nothing happens to her. That's the least I can do, really.
...And I guess we can use more blankets, too.

[A firm nod.]
You guys will be the first people to know. [...] When she's back to normal. [It has to be when, not if, right? There has to be a way.]
no subject
no subject
We appreciate it a lot, Minato.
no subject
We'll find a way to turn her back to normal, okay? [So don't give up... don't look so sad, as much as is possible here.]
There's definitely a way.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. If she is safe here there isn't much else we can do right now, so...[Come join them, basically.]
no subject
I don't mind cooking either, if we're going to be getting together for dinner.
no subject
[ not that it tasted like anything but ash but hey his standards aren't high ]
