[closed] Special Extracurricular Phantom Thieves?

[orphne]

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?

buddy he's barely even 50% good

[He's not surprised, but still somewhat impressed by the ease with which Akechi takes to painting his nails. Sure, this first coat is transparent, so maybe it's more forgiving, but he still seems to be pretty comfortable with what he's doing.]

I used hand creams, from the girls, but I dunno if that affects nails at all.

well.. 25% good??

[murderingjustice]

[Well, for Akira's credit his hands aren't in the worst condition they could be all things considered. It's not uncommon for baristas to have faint cuts, burn marks or otherwise roughened skin around their fingers or back of palms.]

It does. A little. Though you'd need to take better care of your cuticles. At least you don't seem to chew on your nails.

[After he's done with the base he moves to the actual color. This time his hold on Akira's hand is more firm as in to make extra sure that he's gonna be still.]

Now don't move. If you fidget too much not even my accuracy is going to be enough to safe you. And I'd rather not to get red all over your fingers.

on a good day maybe

[They are, at least, very clean. His nails are well-groomed, but always kept short, and his hands are clean if a little rough. He has long fingers, "piano hands" as some might say. He watches Goro apply the base coat curiously, looking over his cuticles when he mentions them.]

Ah, no, my mom hated it. She used to put that nasty-tasting oil on my nails as a kid whenever I chewed them.

[He sits a little straighter at the warning, and breathes very quietly to keep from moving much at all, watching with rapt attention as his fingernails get bathed in burgundy.]

fine you win. he's 10% good with the help of a chicken

[murderingjustice]

[Akechi has spent his good time to admire Akira's hands. He's paid attention to Akira's movements when they played darts and poor, or when he fearlessly wielded his knife in metaverse. And of course, there's now their new, uh, "activities" that demands attention to his hands. There's always been a certain kind of rough finesse to him, something that only comes to you naturally. Yet again something that he can't help but compare to his own, learned and forced gracefulness.]

She's a smart woman. Though, I guess I should thank her for reacting so well to punishments.

[He flashes a quick wolfy grin at Akira before focusing back on his nails, starting to paint over them with slow and careful strikes. He does rather good job for an amateur, keeping the color within the frame.]

[chemex]

[Akira has a bizarre sort of clumsy grace not unlike that of a cat falling off a windowsill. He'll make it look intentional, be entirely nonchalant and fine about it happening, but he absolutely probably looked like an idiot actually doing it.]

[He hums at the notion of his mother making good use of punishment, shrugging. He's equal parts too focused on Akechi's handiwork and traversing the vast empty expanse of his own skull to bother to verbally reply, outside of making a noncommittal hum of sound.]
