[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah, I wouldn't mind going to a show of hers with you, But only if you're up for it, since it isn't your type of music. It's really great to support your friend, but I wanna make sure you're having a good time too."

It was great that she supported her friend and the idea of going to a metal concert with Mikan, or any concert for that matter. Despite him not minding the music, he also wanted to include Mikan's enjoyment, they didn't have to go to her show if she wasn't in the mood for that kind of music. On a date, Minato liked to take his date's level of fun and enjoyment into account for where the date would be spent. It was better to be fair than having one person deciding all the time, besides, he was sure there were probably other places that she would want to show him as well, and he was always up for a new adventure or experience, especially on a date.

It was hard to believe that they were already making so many potential future date plans, even a vacation to South Korea. This date wasn't a typical one, not only was he a patient and she was his nurse, but everything between them felt so right, so perfect, almost like the world was waiting for them to meet -- the world sometimes worked in funny ways, but if this was one of those things, he was very glad for it.

From the very moment this date began, the Bluenette paranormal investigation could already feel a special type of connection, a unique air of strong attractiveness between the two. The decision to date felt like the right thing to do, he could already feel something building between them, and something deep down inside told him to give it a shot, and he couldn't be any happier for it, this was truly the start of a genuine relationship, something he hadn't had in quite a while now.

[{ 🦋 }] - "It definitely took a few investigations before I was able to handle everything to be honest. So I don't blame you for not being able to handle an actual haunting. There are so many things to adapt to in a paranormal investigation. Not just the spirits themselves, but also the atmosphere they create, and the emotions inside people they try to influence, among other things."

He briefly explained. Minato could go on about paranormal investigations, but he didn't exactly want to go full paranormal nerd on her during their first date, because once he started, it was sometimes hard to stop himself. As she compliments him, Minato is sipping his drink, but a smile forms once he sets his glass back down on the table.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Thanks. That's what everyone usually thinks. I'm complimented a lot, but I think people are just too intimidated by the fact I'm a celebrity in their eyes. I love my fans, but they like to praise me a lot, and it doesn't feel as genuine coming from them. So yeah, I'm having a wonderful time!"

As their food arrived, Minato thanked the waiter who brought it to them before returning his attention to Mikan again as she spoke. Those sweet words of not wanting tonight to end melted his heart a little, a mutual feeling, perhaps he could take a bit of a detour later when it was time to drive her home.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Don't worry, I know what you meant. I don't want tonight to end either. How about I take a bit of a detour when I drive you back later? That way we'll have a bit more time together." He asks, picking up his silverware, and immediately starts digging into his food, listening as she answers.

"Yeah! Her music isn't... r-really my style, but I'm always proud of the success she achieves!" Mikan added. "M-maybe I can get us tickets to her n-next show. If you want to go, that is."

Ibuki's music was... interesting, to say the least. Black Cherry's music was your typical j-pop/rock - the stuff normal teenage girls would be into. But Ibuki's taste in music was more on the heavier side, all metal and strange vocals. Mikan liked her fair share of alternative music, but Ibuki's music could sometimes be a little too much. Still, she was rather supportive of her friend.

This was only their first date and they were already discussing several other date ideas - including going on long-distance trips together. Was this normal? Not really. Then again, this whole situation was a little odd to begin with. He was technically a patient when they first met. They must have been made for each other.

"W-Well, you were scratched up p-pretty bad when you came into the clinic the other night," Mikan thought aloud. "So you're d-definitely strong for d-dealing with that sort of thing all the time..." She seemed rather interested in the information he provided, listening as he explained showing weakness could be one's downfall in paranormal investigations. "As m-much as I love horror m-movies, I can b-be a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to r-real life haunts."

"R-Really?" She gave him a rather surprised look. "I would think s-someone as good-looking and friendly as y-you would get asked out far more often... I'm really glad y-you're enjoying this as much as I am."

And to think she'd been so worried about this date going sour.

"I'm almost s-sad that we'll eventually have to go our s-separate ways later on tonight," she confessed. Their order arrived as she spoke and Mikan began nibbling at her food in an attempt to hide the flush of her cheeks. "N-Not that I'm trying to s-suggest anything! I just... I mean... W-Well... I..." Another mouthful might help save her from saying anything too embarrassing.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Maaaan. I've been so busy. I think this is the busiest start to the new season of my show I've had in a long time. It feels great, but kinda tiring. I think I'd better book Valentine's Day off too, especially the day after."

Minato looks over at a brand new shelf he just ordered, he finished building it up earlier and now it is ready for use. It was very tall just barely stopping before his ceiling and had at least over sixty shelves and several little side compartments, the thing was expensive and had taken him about seven hours to put together piece by piece.

[{ 🦋 }] - "With this new master snack shelf, I'm gonna be able to buy SO MUCH discounted Valentine's Day chocolate... among others, a few extra snacks anyway."

He wore the biggest grin as he began to picture this shelf stacked full of his favorite snacks and candies of all kinds from around the world during his travels for work, and the little compartments be perfect for the more smaller sized snacks, he'd be able to put so much on here he was practically drooling at what he was imagining. A few seconds after, he finally snaps out of his trance, quickly wiping his mouth.

[{ 🦋 }] - "I'll be like Willy Wonka, except instead of making candy and chocolate, I EAT it." He adds with a smile, he felt like a little kid in a candy store.

"We should become sleep buddies. I tend to sleep a lot myself as you know."

Ever since high school Minato had always been a constant sleper. If he had no club, no homework, no plans or work after school, then Minato would always choose to sleep, which would often lead him to go to bed earlier than any normal person would choose to sleep. These days, with Minato's constantly hectic and busy work schedule, proper sleep was a luxury.

So the idea of a sleep buddy sounded nice, he never really met what he'd call a 'fellow sleep enthusiast' before until now. He wouldn't say no to enjoying a good snooze with someone who also liked catching some Z's as much as he did. The prospect brings a small smile to his lips.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Heck yeah! I'd totally be down. Meeting a real fellow sleep enthusiast is such a rare occasion these days. You got a deal, Futaba-Chan!"

[{ 🦋 }] - "Sleep buddies!" He holds up his hand with an open flat palm for a high-five.

He outstretches a long yawn, one that echoes throughout his home as he leaves the bedroom, looking a little tired, but feeling completely invigorated. He didn't know how long exactly he slept for, but it was definitely worth it, as he felt more rested than usual.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Maaaaan what a good sleep! I slept like the dead!." Rubbing his grey eyes, he takes his phone off the charger, unlocking it, his eyes widen a bit as he looks at the date on his phone:

Thursday January 18th 2024

It takes him a few minutes, but after he finally processes what exactly happened, it's not hard to tell what exactly had happened, and he couldn't even believe it, but after restarting his phone, he found that it indeed was the correct date. Putting the phone on his computer desk, he scratches the back of his head.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Wait! No way! Did I seriously sleep all the way past new year? Just how tired was I?" Confusion sets in, but it doesn't last very long, as it soon turns into a smile.

[{ 🦋 }} - "Phew, boy am I glad I booked the first three weeks of January off. Best sleep ever! Buuut I should probably make a post on twitter, before I become the next death hoax."

It was the middle of December now, and after keeping his Halloween decorations up for longer than anyone would, Minato finally (though a little reluctantly) took down his spooky setup he would just have to wait for another year before he could take them out again, now the fun part was digging out his Christmas decorations.

About twenty minutes later, after taking down his entire setup, including his music-activated monitor on all the windows his Halloween stuff was put away, tucked away neatly into five separate boxes downstairs, that was quite a lot of work, so he chugged two bottles of water down in one large sip to recharge. With a relieved exhale, Minato recycles his two empty bottles of water before heading outside.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Hey, anyone know if it's possible to invent a holiday? Because we are in desperate need of a second Halloween."

As she provides just a little bit more context about her friend Mioda, it starts to become apparent that he has in fact heard of her before, she recalled hearing something about an artist from a school band leaving her group for differences in creativity, the more he thought about it, the more he remembered. He found it pretty interesting that Mikan was friends with a popular musical artist, he assumed she must have gone to some sort of private school if it had students with notoriety like that.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Oh! Now I remember. Ibuki Mioda formerly from.. I think they were called, Black Cherry? I'm not sure if that's correct, but yeah I know who you're talking about now. It's pretty neat that you went to school with her."

He nods as she goes into her song that hit the top of the music charts, as Mikan explained, Minato had to admit, he found it pretty cute when she used the word 'charts' with a question after it, she was dangerously adorable with her wording sometimes.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah, I think I know which song you're talking about. I've heard it on the radio in my car often."

Moving onto the topic of inviting her along for a trip to South Korea sometime, there was something in the way her eyes lit up at the mention of it, combined with that bright smile of hers that caused him to smile in return. Even if this was just the first date, the thought of having her along with him for a trip to a country she had a connection to her origins. Minato had never really met anyone who was part Korean before, so he was very interested in finding out more about her.

[{ 🦋 }] - "In that case, I'll make sure I let you know a couple weeks ahead of the trip so you have some time to check you're schedule. I'll be wrapping up filming of my fifth season in a month, so once that's done, I'll probably start deciding on a day for it."

He adds with a smile. Minato was pretty sure they would have a decent number of dates in the books by then, whenever it would come a time for that trip, they would be close enough to have a vacation together, the thought of it all excited him.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Society isn't the same, and has changed over the years, so not everyone in this world has good in their heart, so it's important to be strong, no matter what. I can't imagine all of the things you've had to go through, but you're strong because you're still here, and that's what's important."

Minato laments. It wasn't too hard to get the idea that Mikan must have had a hard life, he didn't know the full details, but it spoke volumes in her very timid personality. It made him even more grateful to be sitting here across from her like this.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Haha, thanks. But you're not wrong. When it comes to evil spirits and malevolent forces, especially when dealing with demonic entities, any faint display of weakness will be used against you, it's happened a few times in some investigations. They usually like to target our youngest investigator, Zero since he's very insecure about some things, he's also scared very easily which doesn't help in that regard. So us paranormal investigators don't really have much of a choice, we have to be strong-willed because once an entity has a chokehold around your fears or shaken will, it is extremely difficult to make them let go of their target."

He explains, appreciative of her compliment, but also decided to provide a bit of detail on the subject. On the topic of another date. Minato couldn't agree with her any more than he already did. This whole time during their conversation, Minato could feel something genuine forming between them. Mikan was the first person he had dated in a long time. The fact that the conversation was already going so well even before their food, was definite proof that there was a strong bond starting to form, so more dates with her were an immediate yes.

[{ 🦋 }] - "We really do. You know, this is the first date I've gone on in years. Food isn't even here yet, and I'm already having such a blast. So I want to know a lot more about you too."

He agrees with another smile. Moments later, the chef returns with their food and serves them their plates, before bowing and walking back into the double doors of the kitchen.

"Y-Yeah! Mioda used to be in an band b-but they broke up in high-school. They had a couple of singles that actually ch-charted on the music uhm... charts? But when she w-went solo she stuck m-mainly to indie m-music. But she's pretty popular!" Mikan explained. "She's got one s-song that's b-been playing on the radio recently!"

Mikan lit up at his mention of letting her tag along on his next trip to Seoul. "R-Really? I'd h-have to make sure I can take the time off from the c-clinic... and I won't be in classes, but other than that, I'd love to!" She replied enthusiastically.

She flushed pink at his compliments. They weren't even drinking much and she felt drunk off the attention he was giving her. She'd been so nervous to actually accept, yet here she was having a great time. Why was she always so anxious about these things? She needed to let loose a little more. Maybe Minato was the guy to help her do that.

"Th-thank you.. I've never been called st-strong before. Considering your line of work, I think you'd have to be pretty strong too. So I r-really admire that about you, too."

You don't need to bring him home with you tonight. She told herself. It's just the first date. Get to know him a little better first this time!

"W-We just have a lot in common," she explained. "I d-don't think I've ever met anyone like you b-before. So I'm eager to learn more about you."

🍋 - Does your muse complain about things to you? If so, what?

Oh yeah, Minato complains to me about a lot of things to me. Sometimes he talks to me about he about food, especially if I'm cooking, he'll always say "Hey, Chase, you should add this to your recipe"

And some of the things he tells me are weird so I think he just says those to troll me lol. Other times, he'll critique the horror movies I watch, always putting in his two cents when he sees an opportunity. He can be a bit of a dork with horror and food sometimes, but I love that about the guy

The number one thing he complains to me about a lot tho, is my poor consistency with being active sometimes. He's always going on about how I need to be here to progress things, especially all the bonds he's forming with people in his life.

🍒 - How many friends do you have on here?

Oh man. Well, honestly. If we've chatted ooc at least twice or three times I already consider you an rp friend. To answer the question tho, it's hard to give an exact number. I know a lot of people, since I been on this platform for quite a few years now.

There are definitely some people that talk to me regularly. Reaching out to chat sometimes is tough for people. Either because or a busy life schedule or other irl stuff. Which is totally cool, but there are definitely people I'd like to talk to a lot more. Namely my shipping partners.

I'm not in regular contact with as much of my shipping partners as much as I'd like to be.

So I'd really love to try and talk to people more. It's just hard because I'm busy myself, plus I tend to disassociate when things on my end become too much. So if people can get past that, I'm always up to talk.

#Mundays asks #I have a lot of people on discord #But like everyone- a few talk to me a lot more than others #Which is fine I totally understand the struggle of reaching out OOC #But I am the type of person who is always up to talk :) #//So no one should ever hesitate to shoot me a message if they wanna say hey #//One thing about rp I love -- is getting to know and befriend other people so I love making new friends #Thanks for the question! #Cᴀɴ I ɢᴏ ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇᴅ ɴᴏᴡ?

There was something in the way she responded to him on the topic of personal life, versus private life that just didn't sit right with him. It sort of felt like she was being especially more mindful in her choice of words. Minato and Sonia had been a happy couple for a few years now, so it was only natural that Minato would be able to tell that, despite putting up a front with a smile and a cheery attitude Sonia really seemed like she was a bit off today. As he took in her words, Minato's doubt showed on his expression, but just for a mere second before he realized it, and very quickly opted for a more neutral expression, thinking over what he would say in return, he could tell something was wrong with her, it was starting to bother him a bit. Regardless, as painful as it was, Minato just decided to continue to bite his tongue on the subject much to his internal growing dismay on the topic.

Why did he continue to torture himself like this? To keep putting himself through this emotional suffering even longer? Perhaps it was just because of how much he loved her. With how incredibly strict her family was, as well as their high distaste for his entire being, maybe he was scared? Terrified that if he brought up his feelings on the matter, it could potentially lead to them breaking things off -- but not by choice, if they ever separated, he had no doubt in his mind, that it would be because of her overbearing parents. A scenario in which they would probably rejoice.

For a long time, there was a crippling fear that had been building up inside of him over the years, growing larger the more Sonia would mention her family and how much they disapproved of his romantic relationship with her. Each new year, their dislike of him only seemed to expand, which didn't help with this silent anxiety of his that her parents had inflicted upon him with their constant resentment of him because of his career.

[{ 🦋 }] - "...Well, of course. Anyone who lives part of their life inside the spotlight is gonna have a part of their life they keep private. But sometimes, even that same thing, can make it difficult too.."

Minato carefully replies, indirectly speaking his feelings to her without actually revealing them. He says it in a way that makes it seem like he is just casually contributing to the conversation, ensuring to keep his casual, relaxed tone to avoid rousing her suspicion. As troubling as it was, he would once again cast aside his concerns in an attempt to savor the moment, not wanting to be a total buzzkill -- though he had a feeling all these discarded thoughts would eat at him later and only cause him to descend even further into this internal disdain and turmoil that was slowly beginning to eat him alive from deep inside.

Minato had a strong sense of self-preservation, but tragically, even the most resilient of people, had their limits and eventual breaking point. The more they continued to keep things a secret, the more he would have to deal with the fangirls for another year. At this point, his patience for their nonsense was starting to run thin -- another form of stress to add to this inner conflict.

Minato was very clearly aware of what was at stake when told her his true feelings about her on that night in the Ferris wheel. Still, he would keep up this charade of discreet love even if it killed him. As p a i n f u l as it was for him to continue to live this white lie of a relationship, it would never compare to the amount of pain he would feel if he lost her. Swallowing any more doubt on his mind for the moment, Minato would harden up his heart enough to roll with the punches that would eventually try to tear him up inside.

Minato knew Sonia was excited about this trip, as he quietly recalled her extreme enthusiasm when he first proposed the idea of the vacation to her on the phone through a video call when he was in Italy for a promotional photo shoot for his season three box art of Paranormal Quest, while Sonia was in England at the time for a meeting of royal affairs involving some sort of aristocratic agreement or something, he couldn't really remember the details, whatever it had been, it was out of his knowledge. With the worries and concerns bottled up again. Instead, Minato decided to focus on other parts of the conversation, moving on to her school and how different it was compared to his.

[{ 🦋 }] - "A school that sorts out students by talent instead of personal values? Huh, that sounds like something a super strict private school would do. Wait, was it a private school?"

He asks, Minato never heard of a school that organized people solely on talents. Since Sonia was a royal, the idea of her attending a private school seemed to fit.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Sounds like you had a cool teacher though, most of my teachers were stereotypical and boring. Oh, every teacher except Mr. Edogawa, he was pretty cool. The guy wasn't my homeroom teacher. But for whatever reason, he taught us a class in magic. I'm not even kidding either. A bit of an oddball, but an all-around cool dude. His classes were always the most interesting to me."

Minato drank the rest of his tea and set the empty cup down once it was empty. The dorayaki was a nice little housewarming gift, it definitely hit the spot, perfect to have just before a walk in the chilly autumn air of the city. For the most part, Minato was just glad he was able to be here with Sonia at all. So for the remainder of his tour, he would just shift his attention to their time spent together here in his hometown.

Aside from the stress that surrounded their secrecy, there was one thing that would never change. Whenever Minato was with Sonia, he felt at peace, a feeling of warm comfort that would wrap around him like a big blanket, that's how her love made him feel. Even within the confines of the city, by her side, Minato truly did feel like they were the only two people left in the world -- if only that were really the case here.

[{ 🦋 }] - "The train? Yeah, we can take the train then." He nods, agreeing with her choice. If she was comfortable with it, he didn't mind, though there was the concern of the shadows, but he'd worry about that later.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Yeah, we did, but this one is actually different. Instead of going underground, the tracks go through the tunnel, and take you over the ocean. The minute we exit the tunnel, you get an amazing view of the school from afar."

Minato put his shoes back on and reached for his teal blue long coat, the perfect clothing for an early fall afternoon, he threw the jacket on over his black and blue thin leather vest, the vest would be good for keeping him warm under his jacket. As Minato led her out the door, down the hall, and into the elevator, and after a few brief minutes, the couple was on the ground floor, their footsteps echoing throughout the open area of the lobby as they made their way out the door.

[{ 🦋 }] - "The train station is only a ten-minute walk from here so it's pretty close by which is convenient, definitely made the trip to school a lot easier." As the couple traversed their way towards the station, the urge to hold Sonia's hand came over him, evident from his hand moving slightly towards her before hesitantly, stopping himself.

Setting down her teacup, Sonia forced a smile onto her face. Minato was astute: considering his profession, there was no way he couldn't be, but it was also something innate in him. He believed that they'd been left alone for this excursion, and Sonia hadn't the heart to tell him yet that some of the boat's crew that had gotten them to the island had been bodyguards in disguise. And several more had taken up rooms at the ryokan, insisting the Princess of Novoselic be outfitted with tracking devices on her mobile phone, her bag, and even the inside hems of her clothing. They could not be too careful when their future Queen insisted she wanted to be independent.

Doubly so when, as per their instructions from the royal family, they were not to allow Minato Arisato to take Princess Sonia to any more haunted locales. America had been relatively inconsequential, with how little a presence Novoselic tended to have there. But Japan was different: she could not be caught traipsing around some supposedly haunted school, or shrine, or whatever unsuitable place he found fit to take her. No matter how much she, from the photos and video at least, seemed to enjoy it. Certainly, she was allowed to carry on with relationships as she saw fit, but that did not mean her family approved of him, or trusted him. He not only was a bad influence, but he was a famous bad influence, and therefore entirely inappropriate for any sort of public consumption.

Something she hadn't been able to tell him: it was a skill of hers, to find the right words in any situation to provide optimism and hope. Unless, it seemed, it pertained to her life specifically.

"My hobbies are an excellent example of how, for the sake of my health and professional necessity, personal interests and required duties are often best kept separated," She chose her words carefully. Even though Minato was an authority on the topic, surely he realized that there were plenty of people in the world who thought paranormal investigations to be fraud at best, or worse, signs of mental decline. "It is difficult for me to believe in that on a personal level, but it is what is required in my family. Keeping a part of yourself private in order to have something of one's own and not living only for public interest and whims."

Where she differed in opinion was what exactly was kept quiet: things like passions and hobbies were swept under the rug while socially-approved artistic excursions, alongside socially-approved men, were enthusiastically reported on, fed by members of the Novoselic Royal Family's PR team. Maybe that was a reason why she held her high school experience in such high esteem: for one, being under eighteen meant there were limits as to what the press could print. And two, being at Hope's Peak and thousands of kilometers away from home meant that enough time zones were in the way that she often had a buffer between bending the rules and anyone finding out.

"It was very different, or at least it certainly began that way," She explained, "the school administration wished for us to be defined by our talents first, personality and values second. But my homeroom teacher disagreed, and it was her mission whilst in charge of us to provide as many normal experiences as possible. But even she was limited in her power: I wish we had participated in an actual class trip, but visits to festivals were wonderful too. Still, your high school experience sounds quite idyllic: I am a little envious, really!"

Not that she knew anything of personas or shadows, or anything else that currently plagued her boyfriend. What Sonia did know was that it wasn't fair, how the negative view of ghosts and spirits, the occult and the supernatural, kept her passions under lock and key. Her hobbies, her joy, and of course, her love. For him: Minato was a kindhearted, friendly, and compassionate person, but he loved his career and what he was able to give the world. She was in no place to ask him to give it up, but Sonia also knew, deep down, she wasn't strong enough to give him up in return.

A walk would help. A walk, and the appearance of her spirits remaining high and cheerful with nothing in the world that could bother her. That was often how she felt in his company: snuggled on the sofa watching movies, dropping in to see the behind-the-scenes of his filming, visiting a new restaurant.

And now, riding a train. "I would very much enjoy taking the train," She assured him, smiling. "I should like to see how it differs from other Japanese cities. Is it underground, like Tokyo? With all the various shops and services?" Like many other things about Japanese culture, she'd found that some train stations were basically housed in the equivalent of underground shopping malls, with an array of stores and eateries, even grocery and convenience shops. "It is how would you normally attend school, is it not? By train? Then that is what we should do." Slipping her shoes on, Sonia was grateful to soon be out in the chilly autumn air. Away from the room that now felt too small for all of the conflicting feelings that swirled within her. Why was it so hard to return to her cozy, loving life with him after the autumn holidays at home?

☯ : Greatest challenge to writing your character?

Hmm, good question.

Well, in a general consensus, it's relatively easy when writing a Persona protag since their personalities in the game all depend on the player of the game since you're pretty much choosing what they say in response. Despite that, there are definitely some challenges that do tend to present themselves, though, in my opinion, it usually depends on which protagonist the mun is writing since they do have some core traits of theirs they keep. (a couple examples: Yu Narukami from P4 and his tendency to be random while staying cool no matter how much weird shit is going on around him. Minato from P3 and his habit of randomly spacing out for no reason.)

In most cases though, if it's a persona protagonist that plays a silent role in the game, it's kind of open season to any interpretation. Above all, I think the one thing I've had the most trouble with though, isn't necessarily how I've written Minato, but it's more, the struggle of summarizing the AU I've created for him, since not everyone has played Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, or hasn't seen clips of gameplay of it. I suppose the real issue of it all, was just trying to enhance his personality as a young adult.

Because every character changed in some positive way through their experiences and maturity as they grew up to become young adults. I tried to carry over specific traits of his while adding to his maturity as well without making him become too OOC, so if I had to pick one thing, that would probably be the one thing I had the most difficulty with since I was basically creating my own version of what I think Minato as a young adult would become while making sure I never strayed away from any of his core personality traits and attributes.

#tres-fidelis #Munday asks #I had to really analyze my development for my Minato to give a good answer #So thank you for the question Dani :) #Yeah creating Minato as a young adult was probably the toughest thing I dealt with in writing him #It took like 2 to 3 years to fully piece together Minato's AU backstory and what he would do after the events of P3 had his changed his fat #So I'm pretty proud of myself for putting that all together and fine-tuning it enough to work #TʜᴇBʟᴜᴇʙᴇʀʀɪᴇsAʀᴇMɪssɪɴɢ ( OOC )

[{ ☠ }] - "Evenin' folks. The name is Jim- er.. ah' mean, John, Marston. I might be lookin' like some average, dumb' ol' cowpoke. But be warned friend, I didn't get these scars on my face fer-nothin'."

Yeah, that guy. RDR's loveable honest, idiot, John Marston. After a past bad experience within the Persona community (This was a while ago now) I retreated to the RDR fandom as old wolf-scar Marston.

Honestly, I still do miss the muse, quite a bit. But my blog never picked up enough, and my muse kind of just left and never came back. He wasn't just some character I used as a rebound muse either. I loved John Marston, and still do. It's just hard to get back into his character, especially getting used to his mannerisms and speech again which was a bit of a chore since it was mostly old Wild West slang and figures of speech from that time period.

Many times, I've had to google a word for every reply just to make sure I was using the correct word and term lol

One of these days though, I would really love to revive him again. I enjoyed writing that loveable cowman. Hopefully, I can get back to him sooner rather than later.hxpl

Still confused on what happened even to this day tbh #Might have played a part in me leaving that blog #Anyway I do love the muse and hope to being ol John Marston back again #I just really need the drive for him again -- something to motivate me to return. #Anyway thank you for the question Kate~ #hxpelessnurse
