[closed] Special Extracurricular Phantom Thieves?

Who: Akechi, Akira, Ken, Kotone, Shinji, Yoshizawa, Astralin
Where: Astralin's farm
What: Meeting of SEES and the Phantom Thieves! (sleepover)
Warnings: blood and violence, thanks akechi

It honestly feels a little overdue to get all of the Persona-users together in one place, but in fairness to them, there's been a lot going on! With Ken's arrival, though, it feels more important than ever to get everyone together -- if something happens again and they need to fight together as a team, it'll be good to have moments like this.

Hopefully.

Also, like, it's a chance to just relax and have fun with the others. Kotone's close friends with all of them, so it only seems natural to invite them to what's essentially a sleepover. There's nail polish, drinks, snacks, games -- it's not a party, but just a chill hangout session to her. An opportunity to sleep out under the stars with her friends while still being close enough to a house that they don't have to worry about monsters outside.

Everyone please be on your best behavior?

A.
[She'd been more than a little nervous to come, but she didn't feel like she could say 'no' either. It'd look weirder to be the only persona-user to not show up, right?

But in the beginning, Sumi already seems really all-too-stiff. She's brought a gift of some snacks and sits ramrod straight, fingers curled onto her knees as she fidgets and looks around, clearly not sure what to do or who to talk to or...anything, really.

Her hair is down from its customary ponytail and she's wearing glasses now, and it seems like she's an entirely different person like this.

[After she starts to relax a little, she gets...antsy. Which maybe isn't actually being relaxed, as she fusses over random decorations or food. It's not even her place, but she seems anxious for everything to be going well]

Phew... [and looks exhausted a little bit herself, looking through the games with a furrowed brow] I hope this is enough...

C. [P5r spoilers likely]

[It's a little overwhelming sometimes. She's feels... weird. It feels like she's trying to be two different people at once and she doesn't know which face to put on.

She sits outside in those moments to get fresh air and stare at the stars, rubbing her face and her eyes under her glasses. With her hair down like this, she doesn't feel as...dazzling. She can feel-- Darkness, she supposes it is, in the corners of her vision and encroaching in. There's a grumpiness she can't put a finger on, an exhaustion in the back of her head.

She doesn't know how to describe it. Maybe she just needs to eat more or go to sleep already and she heaves a huge sigh, wrapping her arms around her knees and looking back upwards at the stars, frowning

[Meanwhile, Ken couldn't help but notice a certain someone looking a little nervous. As she kept on looking at the games, he wondered if he should say something...]

I'm sorry, is everything okay?

Eep!

[She jumps in alarm, turning to face Ken with a hand to her chest] Oh my gosh. You scared me! Y-yeah, everything's fine! I think. I just...was making sure.

[She laughs sheepishly, her face red and her heart still pounding. She hadn't meant to concentrate so hard that she lost track of literally everyone else but here she is.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that! I just wondering...

[Oh dear, what has Ken done now? Taking a small step back, he hoped that he would be able to give her enough space to breath.]

What are you making sure of?
