Day 43: Sun Room, Second Shift

[arc-wrench.livejournal.com]

When the shift changed, HK stayed put. Even after a long night of zombie killing, he had no interest in meatbag fuel, especially after all the discussion of chocolate with that rather strange meatbag. It was just making him crave the stuff even more than he had previously, if that was possible.

Oh, right. He was supposed to be looking for someone who was "VERY LARGE, WITH DARK HAIR." And also seemed to not know what lower-case letters were on the bulletin. As if that would help. He'd seen a likely candidate last shift, but talk of chocolate had distracted him.

Ryoji nodded. So there wasn't too much of a gap between Junpei's and his own times, but the others would be further and further away. He hoped introducing himself to Akihiko and Yukari wouldn't be too awkward; the idea that they wouldn't know him was already strange enough from his point of view, but from theirs...?

"I don't think anything 'weird and freaky' happened," he said, thinking a bit. Aigis had been staring at him a lot recently, which was kind of unnerving, and exams were coming up, but he doubted those were the kinds of thing Junpei was getting at with his mention of Apathy Syndrome. "At least, not beyond a personal scope. There hasn't really been any new changes with the Apathy Syndrome victims, as far as I know. I can't really think of anything out of the ordinary happening around town, either."

Oh, that was good to hear. Junpei was happy to find out that Ryoji was not going to be the bearer of bad news. Now, he just needed to find out from Mitsuru what they were going to do with him and the matter of their Personaa.

"Awesome. I've had my fair share of weird and freaky," he replied. "So... we should probably get you armed with something tonight just in case you come across any of the monsters. I've got a baseball bat and know where they're kept. Will that work for you or do you want something else?"

Oh. A weapon, right; when up against monsters, it made sense to be equipped for it.

"I guess that'll work. I haven't really fought anything before, so I don't know what I'd be best at," he admitted. A baseball bat wasn't really that much of a weapon, though, was it? It certainly couldn't compare to more traditional weapons. He grinned and added, "And I don't suppose they keep swords laying around here, do they?"

[whos-da-man.livejournal.com]

"Nope, though some of the other people in here have them. Maybe we'll find one laying around somewhere if we're really damn lucky." Junpei grinned. "But a bat's not that bad of a thing to have when it comes to staying alive. There's this really stuffy guy that puts together a pretty good thing on the board for noobs to look at. Give it a look when you get a chance. It'll explain some of the more fucked up aspects of being stuck here."

Junpei looked around for Chidori again as the intercom went off. Damnit, where was she? "Ugh... come to my room when the doors open tonight. I'm in M8. We'll meet up with my girl and then go get you a bat." Or something like that.

"Sounds good," Ryoji replied, nodding. A bat for now, and maybe a sword later, if they could find one.

He glanced at the bulletin board. It probably wouldn't be too hard to find M8, but maybe the... instruction manual for noobs would come with a map. "Okay, I'll see you then. And I'll be sure to read up before I meet you."
