Call the tiny detective

[It was rare to see Naoto not clean and dressed smartly. But early on that morning she could be found furiously scrubbing a damp brush against all. Wearing her normal black trousers and a white shirt that now had splotches of paint on it.

It was also rare to hear her curse in any way... Granted, growling 'damnnit' was very minor. But this was Naoto after all.

And she wasn't very happy to leave her apartment this morning and find a crudely painted stick figure in a cap and the words 'TINY DETECTIVE! FOR A LOWER PERSPECTIVE!' next to it.

She was going to keep grumbling as the paint barely came off.]


Must raise that Endurance stat
[On other mornings, Naoto was also undressed compared to normal. Though probably overdressed for the weather. Given she was wearing a full tracksuit. Because she was making an attempt. Her lack of physical prowess had been what had let her down in the tower. She'd just not had the stamina.

That was part of the reason she'd chosen to try this in the early hours. Because how many people would go to the club building at 6am? She'd noticed the gym during her brief visits.

Except... She didn't really know how to start. Her favorite sport was billards! She wasn't built for this.

Just going to do some stretches? Maybe some jogging around the outside of the court lines? Failing at situps? Oh, she just fell on her face...]



Hunting on the outskirts
[With the festival on the horizon, and a part of it taking place near the farmlands. There had been a few jobs to go and make sure there weren't any monsters, there shouldn't be any too close. But just to be safe, so there weren't any accidents.

That worked for Naoto. While she could practise her shooting at the small range, after months of fighting shadows it didn't help much. Was it the best idea? Coming out alone like this? Probably not, but she didn't want to bother her senpai. Didn't want to worry them, clearly it was best not to mention it.

Besides, she had to stand on her own two feet. Even if she was trying to get better at working as a part of a team, wasn't it best if she could be independent as well?

She could be found trying to track monsters, or maybe after

The raptors had been bold. Making their nest in an old, abandoned toolshed. Though they'd not laid any eggs yet. It was best to scare them off before that happened and they got territorial about the area. That had been the idea at least.]


Persona-!

[Buuut, they'd decided Naoto and a loud bang wasn't particularly intimidating and had started spitting fireballs at her. Summoning Yamato Sumeragi to just stand in front of her and.... He wasn't affected by the flames at all.

She huffed, frowning at the two birds. What to do? She didn't want to kill them, but if they really wanted this spot...]





Wildcard

"I will assume by 'The Nose' you are referring to the master, Igor. For his nose is much more powerful than any other I have seen. As for a Marie, I do not know her, however, the master has employed beings from multiple sources for different ordeals. Perhaps your endeavor was simply more complicated and required more assistance than the one I aided with."

She tilts her head, "It is possible since my ordeal was created by humans, instead of gods and old ones. Still, even a child loose in a china shop can cause havoc if it is not minded properly."

"Still, if you do not wish a training partner or one to spot you, I do understand. We all have our secrets, I have no real reason to chase yours. I merely was looking for a way to make the hours move from the boring ones to the more interesting ones."

Elizabeth shakes her head, "Wanting to be more than you are is nothing to be embarrassed by. It is a thought that moves many forward out of terrible places where despair can prey upon them."

Elizabeth sits down, not looking at Naoto, just sitting next to her, "If you wish, I can assist and simply do so in silence. I will do so without even having a contract, as... Quietly helping is something I am familiar and almost comfortable with."

Elizabeth looks up and taps her chin, what is the word used for this. Humans have so many words that mean the same thing. Letting out a breath she nods and looks at Naoto, "I believe the mortal word is.... Spot?"

"I mean, there is combat training, but I do not believe you could fight as I do. I use a book and you use a... What do you fight with?"

Elizabeth blinks, she doesn't remember actually fighting much with the other woman, she didn't leave an impression like the horribly boring one, or her sister's fool, yet she was a fighter.

"Sometimes having someone to make sure you do not hurt yourself, allows you to train more, and I can more easily agree since... I have no idea how you defend yourself!"
