[goodanswer]

yo ken-kun

how r u

[inretribution]

Hanamura-san.

I'm ok. Just the pathogen. What about you?

[goodanswer]

[ouch. that's exactly what he didn't want to hear.]

out of jail.

r u ok? im sorry ur sick. what do u need, ill bring it

[inretribution]

It hasn't killed me yet so it's not so bad.

More people got here though, as usual. Our leader's here.

[goodanswer]

[huh? "our leader"? that's enough to distract Yosuke from the "not yet" for now.]

4 real??

hes the 1 taking care of u?

[inretribution]

Yeah. Minato-san. He got here in the sunken ship.

We still have to find his Evoker but he's okay, too. I thought i should tell you. Can you tell Naoto-san?

[goodanswer]

i can try. but. i havent seen her

[Yosuke doesn't want to talk about that either, though. Everything just... sucks.

But if they have another Persona user - and a real leader, no less - then that can only be a good thing, right...?

What could he be like? Like... Souji?]

what do u need. clothes? water? ill bring it if i have it

[inretribution]

Don't you need food, too? We got clothes for Minato-san and food when we did, too. Everyone can always use more but I don't want you giving away anything you need.

Do you want to talk to him though?

[goodanswer]

ur the sick one. u should be eating and resting as much as possible.

[Does he want to talk to him, though? Uh. Does he?

Ken, or perhaps Yukari, did mention before that SEES' leader could summon more than one Persona, just like Souji. Yosuke has to wonder, what kind of person is he? Is he like Souji...?]

sure

i mean hes another persona user

and we said we were all going to stick together

i wont let souji or yukari down on that

[pheromonecoffee]

where'd you go?

[It's kind of surprising how long Minato took to send that text. It's October 4th. A really bad day, he thinks, but a day he doesn't want Ken to be alone on, for fear he'll disappear. A text would be good, right? He'll call later if Ken doesn't answer, but... Ken's capable, and it's not like Minato has any right to play dad here, he just wants to make sure he's going to be okay.]

[inretribution]

[He didn't mean to piss off the boar. He really didn't. He's pretty sure he didn't actually do anything to piss off the wolves, but now he did and he's really too slow to keep outrun it. Maybe he got too close. He wasn't too good with the woods. He probably did and they're still chasing him even after he's left the woods... so they probably want to kill him. He's already gotten hit by a few claws and bites and fallen down and scraped himself up.

So he certainly doesn't have time to answer Minato's text. Sorry for the radio silence, Leader.]

[pheromonecoffee]

[He lets about half an hour pass before he's making a phone call.]

[inretribution]

[He can answer this time! But he's... very quiet, except for his breathing. It's very harsh, pained, and shaky like he's afraid. He's whispering, though.] M-Minato-san...

[pheromonecoffee]

[Minato is immediately in Leader Mode again.] Where are you?

[inretribution]

I'm-- a house. Near the woods.

[There's a noise like someone leaving a hiding place, followed by loud angry barking. And Ken adds "wolves!" to his explanation before he has to move again.]

[pheromonecoffee]

I'm coming. [Ken how do you even get yourself into this much trouble this often? Minato is heading that way, but not hanging up the phone unless Ken does first.]

[inretribution]

[He's pretty sure he's cursed. Ironic when he's the Hama user, really. Ken doesn't hang up, but he doesn't have any time to answer while he's running. He manages to wedge himself into somewhere the wolves' claws don't reach, and he finally says at that point that he dropped his evoker while running in the house.]

[lowres]

Ken, do you know what slutty is?

[inretribution]

{KEN IS CHOKING ON HIS WATER

He doesn't really know he just has an idea what the word means but enough of it to react]

Why?

[lowres]

Someone has described a costume as slutty and I would like to know what that means.

[inretribution]

Um

I'm not really sure, but I think it's not a good thing...

[lowres]

Then why would she describe it as "a good save?"

[inretribution]

I don't know, actually

I'm eleven and I don't know a lot about this kind of stuff

[lowres]

So it really is something one must learn when they are older?

[inretribution]

Adults don't like kids to know things so they keep secrets

[You asked the wrong precocious child]
