002 [Voice]

[He's using voice for this post, despite it being annoying, because geez people. All this concern and being nice and stuff. It's distracting, And he has something to suggest that deserves the attention much more.]

It seems several here are beginning to develop the new abilities we have been granted while here. However, in order to practice some, such as healing, a target subject is needed.

Coordinating individuals to practice together may be a worthwhile course of action. In particular, regarding those of you in Heimdall who have been given the power to absorb damage from others, it may be wise for us to practice on each other. Doing so on someone with the same abilities may allow us to learn faster.

[Hey, she just happened to stumble across it...!

...Not buying it?]

"Damage Drain"... That sounds kinda dangerous.

Sounds sort of liking healing, like he said. Either that or it means if somebody stabs me I'll drain the damage from it.

[ Like the absorb abilities of some of his Personas. That would be fitting, not to mention convenient. ]

[Not exactly a reassuring image.]

I guess... Maybe you shouldn't practice by getting yourself stabbed until you're sure, though.

[ Yeah. Sorry about that. ]

I won't. Maybe just needle pricks to start. Or paper cuts. [ You know. Minor things that hurt. Then he could make his way up if they worked, or scrap the idea if they don't. ]

Huh, I guess that works.

[Though she kinda wishes you'd start with, like, light slaps or something.]

[ That probably wouldn't prove anything. You can lightly slap him if you want, though. ]

Right. And if it means taking the damage from someone else... that's good, too.

[Maybe she will.]

Just don't do it too much, okay? Somehow I don't think it would be a great idea... Don't forget or anything.

[She doesn't fully understand her own, either, so it's just as well that they're experimenting. As long as they're careful.]

Why not? [ Healing injuries isn't a bad thing, is it? ]

In case it's too much of a strain or something... You don't want to hit the limit while you're in the middle of 'absorbing damage' or anything...!

[ When has he ever been afraid of pushing his limits? It takes Minato a while to figure out where she's coming from with her worrying, and even once he narrows it down to "She must be worried that I'll overexert myself and die or something", he still doesn't understand it.

Why would these gods bring him here only to kill him again? ]

I'll be fine. You don't have to worry.

[She can't quite help it: it's the only explanation they had ever figured out for what had happened to him before. And it's not the gods she's worried about, mostly... But she can't do too much about this, right?]

Okay... Yeah, sorry. I'm not gonna baby you or anything... So just be careful, alright?

[She sighs.]

Oh, yeah. If you're wondering, my power is supposed to be "Charm..." What's that supposed to mean, anyway...

Of course.

[ Hearing about Yukari's power gives him pause. But only for a few seconds. Then he's asking, unashamedly: ] Marin Karin?

[One might be able to hear her being just a little flustered by that.]

I hope not... That would be embarrassing...

A-Anyway, it's not like that was mine! It was more Mitsuru-sempai's, so I dunno why they'd give it to me.

Because you're charming. [ Clearly. More so than Mitsuru, even if their senpai was a little more eloquent and elegant in general, that didn't equate to being charming. ]

[She can't help smiling to herself. Hey, it's just voice, okay. She indulges herself.]

Well, then, I shouldn't need a special power to do it, right?

...I guess that's at least more obvious than 'Damage Drain,' though.

Yeah. Think of it as a power up. Garudyne instead of garu. [ All of this is idle bullshit speculation, but it's sort of fun to think about and equally fun to tease. ]

...Well, I guess I should be glad ya think I was supernaturally charming even before, then.

[And it's fun to turn on a liiitle bit of that tone usually reserved for Junpei.]

[ He doesn't mind. ]

Definitely.

Maybe I'll try it out on you sometime, then. See what you really think.

Feel free. Practice is important.

Haha, I'll hold you to that, Minato-kun... Don't forget, or I'll be mad!

[ He doesn't want that. ]

Whenever you want to try it.

...Okay, then, maybe after you have your power-practice session?

[Not during. Too embarrassing.]

Sure.

[ Little does he know he'll come out of that experiencing the discomfort of half a dozen small cuts and bruises... without the actual cuts and bruises. But even so, that's fine. He can still be charmed, whatever that entails. ]

Okay... See ya then, Minato-kun.

[And then they shared a weird but special afternoon?!]
