why is it so cold?

there aren't enough blankets

is it going to get colder>?

we're going to get sick


make sure you keep your hands warm everyone

don't get frostbite

[Now he's going to just. Go and try to wrap himself in whatever material he can find that's decently warm.]

Comments

[text] It's hilarious I love it.

[miseris_socios]

cuddling is weird

[Video;] Best part, she doesn't know what HE looks like, so he can avoid her FOREVER. X'D

[idol_support]

[Some of the fake-happy pep fades, her smile softer and more genuine.]

Only if you don't know the person very well, or don't actually want to be that close to them. If it's someone you really like, it can be really nice. Even if they're just a friend.

[miseris_socios]

my friends arent really big on being physically close

[Video;]

[idol_support]

Yeah, I...know how that kinda thing can be...but they're still your friends, right? And I think it's definitely cold enough that they'd make an exception this time! Anyways, they're probably pretty cold too!

[...Ugh, if she could know for sure that you're actually twelve and not just some creep saying that he is, she'd just invite you to come cuddle with her friends. But years of being wary about that kind of thing are next to impossible to break away from...and this place as a whole is so very Not Safe that she doesn't really want to anyway.]

[Video;] /quiet threadjacking

[pitiedthefool]

Knowing them, Rise-chan, I think giving them an extra blanket is enough.

[Rise, you know senpai loves you, but he doesn't want to see you set on fire by either Moros or Medea. He knows them almost as well as their users thanks to That Month We Don't Talk About.]

[Video; private]

[idol_support]

Huh? You know him, Senpai?

[Yeah after 'cuddling is weird', she assumes it almost has to be a boy + that kind of statement does fit with twelve-year-old boys' mindsets sorta, doesn't it?]

[Video; private]

[pitiedthefool]

[He nods.]

Though we didn't meet under the best of circumstances... He's a Persona user, too, and he isn't lying about his friends and how they really don't take to physical touch well.

[Being guinea pigs in inhumane experiments would do that, apparently.

...When did he start defending assassins.]

One of them jumped when I accidentally touched their shoulder.

[Video; private]

[idol_support]

Aww, that's kinda sad... But they're friends, so don't they trust each other at least?

[Rise has noooo idea about any of that experimentation stuff of course though her mun certainly does, which was part of why this tag simply Had To Be XD--she still doesn't even really know who she's talking to.]

Well, if his friends don't wanna help him keep warm, then he could always come be with us, right?

[It's not like she's getting Cuddle Times Alone with Senpai anyways--no way are they gonna let Nanako-chan freeze by herself! And really, anyone else on the Investigation Team who wants to make use of shared body heat is welcome in the cuddle-pile, too, so what's one more person? Especially a kid who apparently needs some less-jumpy friends. :|]

[Video; private]

[pitiedthefool]

I don't think it's that they don't trust each other. More like... bad association.

[He does chuckle a little bit at that.]

They have at least two who know Agi skills... They should be fine if he says no.

[He's not really against it, but he's trying to think of his other friends and fellow Persona users. Especially with their Minato being eerily silent, lately...]

[Video; private]

[idol_support]

[RISE WINS, SENPAI, she got this kid to use video, too! ᕙ(>∇<)ᕗ]

But I can invite him? It's okay?

[She's a little hesitant because she still doesn't know if everyone really gets along, especially since the way Yu said "his friends" seemed...kinda like he was setting them apart from the rest of them.]

[Video; private]

[pitiedthefool]

Like you wouldn't try even if I said no.

[...It's always so hard to tell when he's kidding, isn't it.

Even the brackets don't know spoilers it's probably a go ahead but be ready to dodge medea's fire skills]

[Video; private] ...Fitting icon is fitting? XD

[idol_support]

[It is hard to tell. Not exactly always, but this time, yeah. So she's just gonna take that line at face value. ┐(´ー｀)┌ YU ASKED FOR IT...]

I wouldn't! If you said no, you would have to have a really good reason for it!

[Senpai is not the type to let a kid freeze. But Rise isn't the type to do anything that might endanger Nanako-chan, and if this kid is somehow dangerous...]

[Video; private] Yeeeep. /quietly nabs

[pitiedthefool]

[Oh, is he inwardly smirking. GF, honey, you're going to have to get used to his deadpan snark and learn to read it eventually. He likes slipping back just to see reactions.]

He's a good friend of mine, so I doubt that he would hurt one of us unless in self-defense.

[Kid is only dangerous when pissed and not above calling for an adult Chidori or one of his bros. ...He'll tell her in person about Strega, later.]

[Video; private] ..DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE GONNA KEEP ON BEING MEAN TO ME, SENPAI (;´Д`)

[idol_support]

[She does get it sometimes! A lot of the time, even! Buuut...other times, he's still just too good at it. (._.;)]

......Senpai, I invited him, but he's being stubborn about it...

[So much iconfais RE: Ken's response. B| Well, after this talk with Ken, she's definitely got questions, so she was gonna try to track you down later on anyways.]

[Video; private] No. It means I'm going to troll everyone equally.

[pitiedthefool]

[It's okay, Rise-chan. You will get it eventually! he believes in you. <3]

It's his decision in the long run.

[There there, Rise. Not everyone is fond of cuddles. (He will be around, likely gathering more fire food on the forest floor.)

Yeah he isn't surprised.]

[miseris_socios]

maybe koromaru

but thats probably it

and hes probably a little more okay with the cold since he's a puppy

[Video;]

[idol_support]

[Rise can't help leaning in again eagerly, because that puppy is way too cute, and oh, this must be one of the friends he was looking for!]

You're friends with Koro-chan, too? Koro-chan is amazing--I'd never seen an animal able to use a Persona before!

[She sits back and says little quieter, and at least half to herself:]

And I still don't really understand what that collar is...I guess it must let him summon his Persona somehow, though.

[text]

[miseris_socios]

hes not the one from my world but hes my friend yeah

his collar is his evoker

youre one of those people who doesnt need to use one arent you

[Video;]

[idol_support]

I'm glad he found you, then! You know, he and I teamed up to look for you guys a while back, but all we found was lots of monsters. We sure took care of them, though! Koro-chan's pretty strong!

[And then have a both curious and confused blink.]

What's an evoker?

[Something that apparently lets a Persona be summoned, yes, she gets that much, but that still doesn't explain what it really is.]

[Video;]

[miseris_socios]

[... Fine. He sighs and turns on the video, holding up his evoker.]

Most of them look like this. You have to press it to your head -

[He does so to demonstrate.]

- and shoot it to fire your Persona.

[Video;]

[idol_support]

[...Haha~ She got him to show himself! That means she wins! Although HEY WAIT, that evoker looks a LOT like a--]

Does it--

[Shoot, no pun intended that might not really be the best question to ask here, but she's committed now, so she might as well get her answer.]

...Does it hurt?

[She keeps the tone of her question light and inquisitive but still concerned. Koro-chan had seemed totally fine with it, but then again, his evoker didn't look like gun.]

[Video;]

[miseris_socios]

For...

[Mm. How to answer this carefully...]

For someone who was born with the potential to summon a Persona, no. Any pain involved is just psychological.

[Video;]

[idol_support]

[That's enough of an answer for Rise, because yeeeah she noticed that slight pause, so curious or not (and she is), she's still not gonna push any further. She can always just ask Senpai later.]

Wow, you must be pretty brave to use something like that, especially the first time!

[It really does look just like a gun after all...]

Oh, I'm Rise, by the way! Rise Kujikawa!

[Video;]

[miseris_socios]

[He sets it down and shrugs.]

I'd been fighting Shadows with pieces of glass stuck in pipes for a while... it wasn't that scary compared to everything else.

... I'm Ken Amada.

[Video;]

[idol_support]

[She looks a bit taken aback by the idea of someone so young using such makeshift weaponry...and against Shadows, no less.]

...Man, and I thought Yu-senpai using golf clubs and Yosuke-senpai fighting with wrenches was different.

[...Also not gonna ask about that vague but heavy-sounding everything else, because...he must've been pretty desperate to fight Shadows with that kind of thing, and she doesn't know him nearly well enough to pry. Plus, if it's something unpleasant, she doesn't want to make him talk or think about it anyways. N O P E gotta try to get things more cheerful and then keep 'em that way!]

Nice to meet you, Ken-kun! You can call me Rise-chan, or Risette if you'd rather!
