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?

[Meanwhile, Ken couldn't sleep. Not when there was a strange boy struggling up to his senpai and it was making things awkward. Deciding that he needed to get away for a moment, he walked out of the tent just to see what else his prison had to offer. As he gave a yawn, he found himself standing on top of some flowers. While he wasn't afraid, he raised an eyebrow or two at how tall this strange person was.

That and he had a scythe. That made things awkward.]

Uh...

[What was he supposed to say?]

[Astralin had sensed the boy's presence from a mile away, and he shows no signs of being surprised when Ken approaches him. His eyes trailing over to the new stranger, and giving him an aloof look for a moment. His usual face that he couldn't quite help over the years, but it softens when he realizes that he's probably just one of Kotone's friends. His free hand waving at the boy, as he gets to his feet.]

Hello, young one. I am assuming you are one of Kotone's friends?

[His voice is gentle, careful not to awaken anyone from their slumber if everyone was dead asleep in their tents.]

[Despite how calm his voice was, there was a sense of unease. He was talking to someone who just so happened to be very tall and had a weapon nearby. However, if he is someone who he thought he was...?]

Yes, I am. Are you the person who owns his farmhouse?

[Because he would rather not fight against another supernatural entity, thank you!]

[Oh, he's definitely one of Kotone's friends, and he can't help but chuckle softly as he nods in response. Astralin himself nothing but a gentle giant, really, since he didn't mean any harm to anyone. Unless his own life was in danger, he wouldn't even hurt a fly.]

Yes. My dear Kotone may have mentioned my name, but in case she did not, I am Astralin. Might I ask who you are?

[He swings his scythe off of his shoulder, and places it into the ground with ease. Just wanting to show that the scythe was just for his own safety, since he didn't know what beasts could linger into the farm at night and all.]

Ken Amada, it's a pleasure to meet you, Astralin-san.

[As he gave a small bow, he took a step to the side. Raising an eyebrow at the scythe, he wasn't sure what he was planning on doing but he'll probably be on his guard for now.]

Could I ask what you're doing out so late at night?

Ah, yes. Kotone mentioned you -- that you recently arrived at Expiation.

[Now that he knows who Ken is, the scythe in his hand is brought to his back now. The corner of his lips curving into a friendly smile, so show that he didn't have any maliciousness behind him. In fact, he seemed to be a rather gentle giant of sorts.]

Insomnia, unfortunately. It is... Hard for me to sleep in this place.

[A pause.]

And you? What are you doing up so early? Are you uncomfortable in the tent?

I'm not surprised, she was always a busybody...

[Not to mention that if she knew a lot of people here? She would tell as many people as she could about him. With that, he couldn't help but chuckle a little.]

You can say that. I'm just not used to sleeping so close to people.

[That and you know. After seeing Akechi snuggling up against Shinjiro, he just wanted to get away for a bit.]

And I wanted to see what the farmhouse was like.

Yes, I can only imagine that it may be a bit uncomfortable to be far too close to one another in such an enclosed area. If you would like, you are more than welcome to come and sleep on the couch. No one is sleeping on it, so I do not mind.

[His eyes peer back to the house, and then toward the barn, where most of the animals were asleep right now. There wasn't much to marvel at since it was night time, but he didn't mind showing Ken around, should he want to be shown around.]

Ah, well. It is not as active as it is in the daytime, but the animals are asleep in the barn... While the chickens are asleep in the coop. There are cows, chickens, sheep, piglets... They are quite cute when they are awake.

I could but it's a little awkward when everyone else is sleeping in the tent.

[Not only that, but he also couldn't bring himself to go back in the home when Kotone is the one that set this all up.]

I can imagine, I can see Shinjiro-san and Kotone-san doing their best to make sure that all of them are safe. Especially Shinjiro-san, I have a feeling he would be the type who would definitely take care all of them.

[Somewhere, Shinjiro is sneezing in his sleep.]

I understand. But the offer is there, in case you are ever uncomfortable.

[Even though Astralin just met the kid, he could tell that Ken was a good person, just as Kotone described. Not that he ever doubted her; her friends were very important to her and Astralin can see why.]

Ah, yes. In fact, one of the chickens that Shinjiro named himself... 'Scramble' is one of his favorites. However, I do not think that he wants that information to leave this place, so... A piece of secret information between the two us, hm?

Scramble?

[Tilting his head to the side, there were a lot of things running through his mind. While he wouldn't pass his senpai to give a chicken a cute nickname, he couldn't help but wonder...]

Why would he name a chicken scramble?
