Field Mission 3: Brushing the Sun, Part 2


I couldn't be more proud of you all.
NAVIGATION



1. THE UNRAVELING (CTA RESULTS)




A. EVERYONE GET THE HELL OFF THIS CRAZY THING

With the Bureau quickly packing up and getting the hell out of dodge, four Reclaimers — Kaede, Komaeda, Minato and Lion — made an honest attempt to evacuate the dwarves and goblins still on board. They were mildly successful in drawing half of all the goblins into their fold, but the dwarves were much more resistant. Ultimately, only five agreed to leave behind their precious forge. Bread and Barry were also handily convinced that it was time to leave.

Their chosen method here included a lot of falling with style. With a little help from Lion, a breeze is whipped up to give the trip down a bit more wind resistance.

Even though they didn't convince as many as they would like to leave, this is still a very large logistical effort — you may help pass out treats to help evacuees float down. You may wrangle up any stragglers that wander too far away from the group. Ultimately though, everyone who agreed to evacuate, as well as the Reclaimers who are helping, will be able to safely make it to the ground.

Except for one.

Upon ensuring that Good Girl Cocoa makes it down safe, Minato will find that there are no more magic treats to help him safely evacuate, too. And when Maru perishes, so does he.

Additionally, Barry does go down with the evacuation group, but by the time Maru crashes to the ground, he's no where to be found, and presumed dead.

This also means that very nearly every dwarf and goblin who refused to evacuate also perished.

B. A CHAT WITH A TIRED SPIRIT, AND AN UNRAVELING

Akira, Zelda, Maya and Sayori are assigned to try to take on the Whomping Willow so they can reach the forge it's guarding. With an insanely good hit from one of Zelda's Light Arrows, the tree is stunned — and with the unfortunate curse of sentience that drives it, it is humbled by the raw power, and elects to speak to the group.

The Whomping Willow is several thousand years old, and so, so tired of this enchantment. After revealing the wisdom of the Beastmaster class, Maya is able to disenchant it, effectively reducing it to a simple willow tree once again — and with the help of a few Persona users, they are able to successfully transplant it to a small alcove in the Quad of the Moon Base.

What does this mean for Reclaimers? Well, you now have some very comfortable shade to relax under. You have a monument to your successes. If you happen to know a druid with Speak with Plants, it'll also dispense some of the wisdom it's accumulated over the millennia in the form of advice.

Meanwhile, Sans and McCree, with an easy entrance to the forge, make quick work of unraveling the yarn, setting the dwarves trapped there free, and successfully convincing them to leave the forge behind for their own safety.

And as they continue to make this mission look outrageously easy, they manage to unravel the yarn without causing damage to themselves and the forge. It's done so well, in fact, that the falling apart of Maru is less of an explosion, and more of a controlled, structured demolition.

It's actually quite a spectacular sight, for those of you on the ground to witness it. Like a ship slowly descending to the earth and breaking apart some 100 feet above it, it feels as if the entire planet shakes upon impact. Debris is sent flying in all directions — later reports that make it to the Director's desk indicate that mining equipment was found some 20 miles away from the impact site.

Unfortunately, another Reclaimer is lost in the unraveling of Maru. McCree perishes while trying to escape — but he dies a hero.

C. ON THE GROUND

Two teams — Franziska and Wash, and Akechi and Ryuji — are sent out to try to locate the yarn and, being as buff as they are, try to clear out as many surviving monsters as they can.

Along the way, Akechi manages to steal a priceless weapon off of Hethi, the guardian spirit of the paper mountain that once stood on Maru. Also along the way, Akechi says some really cute social link rank-up shit to Ryuji, which in turn causes his Persona to turn into a bear.

Later on, Franziska manages to convince Hethi to move to the Netheril, effectively becoming Vista Virs' new guardian. She's so convincing, in fact, that Hethi sees this as a divine intervention, and Wash and Franziska are both incorporated into the mysterious guardian's origin fable as divine advisers. Both groups also find survivors of the fall, and safely evacuate them to Phandalin.

While Ryuji and Akechi manage to blast through entire hordes of monsters with little injury, Wash and Franziska are not quite so lucky. Nobody perishes, but the both of them will probably need some assistance.

Finally, with the help of Cocoa and her nose, Akechi and Ryuji are able to locate the yarn, and a recovery team from the Bureau retrieves and delivers it straight to the Director's hands.

Congratulations, Reclaimers. Your third mission was a smashing success.




2. THE BEFOREMATH AND THE AFTERMATH


D. EVERY NOW AND THEN I FALL APART

You're only as good as your backup, as they say. And the Reclaimers who are not currently attempting to fetch a wayward overpowered ball of yarn are going to have a lot on their plates, before Maru comes crashing down in spectacular fashion.

That plate does not include Maru itself. Every hour that passes that you do not escape on your own, the ground's stability grows more precarious. You can feel it shifting underneath your feet, like it's straining, trying to contract into itself. In the distance, an ominous rumbling. The land is literally cracking apart, and you do not want to be on board when it finally tumbles down to the ground.

○ Convincing those who could be convinced to evacuate was no easy feat, but for those of you on board with immediately helping, there's a shortage of hands on deck to move people as quickly as possible.

○ Much like how the wildlife scatters for cover when a thunderstorm hits, the fauna of Maru are aware that a disaster is looming. To that end, nearly every single creature that has settled inside the mines have started pouring out into the open, making an already unstable ground a little ... crowded. Bring your best weapon and your best spells to this fight — you're going to need both.


E. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE

Once you're on the ground, if you choose to dig among the rubble yourself, you may find any last resources that the impact site may have slapped to the surface. They're very small, but gems and diamonds are your highest prize here.

The forge, however, was destroyed on impact, shooting a massive burst of magical energy straight into the sky, before it dissipates. Should you happen to find yourself anywhere near the remains of the forge, however, one of the following may happen:

○ You will be turned into an animal of your choosing for two hours.

○ Any remains nearby may suddenly be reanimated, again, for two hours, until the magical energy disappears. Enjoy your goblin zombie apocalypse.

○ A curse might follow you home — think things like tripping over your feet constantly, or not being able to sleep properly, or hell, accidentally passing along the curse to anyone you touch. Dr. Tank back at medbay on the Moon Base can remove this one for you.


F. THE TOWN OF PHANDALIN

The aftermath of Maru's collapse can be viewed from Phandalin, a nearby prospecting town that is now host to a host of floating island evacuees.

Well, a whole lot of dust can be viewed, anyway. For those of you who arrived here with said evacuees, or simply evacuated here yourself, consider yourselves put on something of a mandatory two-day vacation. The orbs back to the Moon Base just can't seem to get past the dust choking the air directly above the town.

Phandalin is on the small side, and inhabited mostly by prospectors looking for valuable resources deep within the nearby mountains. To say that this is the biggest influx of visitors they've ever had is an unfathomable understatement — and while they are hardly a settlement built for tourism, they're more than willing to take your coin. Or any remnants of Maru you happen to have on hand.

Now is your time to rest. Gather your bearings. Or, work more, if that's more your speed.

○ A small group of dwarves need to figure out where to go next, after all. Will you help them find a place to stay in town? Or will you help gear them up so they can set out on their own, once the dust (literally) settles? The blacksmith in town can't make anything new on such short notice — but he does have plenty of tools and weapons for sale.

○ Should you make your way to Stonehill Inn to escape the dust, you may find a Kenku in a corner, ignored by the other patrons as much as he's minding his own business, mug at the table in front of him. And should you decide to engage with him, he'll lean forward, closer, voice so husky it could pull a sled.

"Oi, you're one of those visitors, ain't ya? You know what happened. With all the dust."

There isn't a particularly discernible tone or expression here. If anything, he sounds on the brink of a personal revelation.

"You've seen it then, right? My house. Where the hell's all my stuff?"

(Some of you already know who this is — it's Jingler, the owner of the shack on Maru that is now part of a heap of sod and brand new landscape not too far from Phandalin. He is a completely pilotable NPC, meaning you are free to use him how you like for your threads. All you need to know is, he's a bard, that shack held all of his most valuable treasures, and Garfield owes him a lot of money. He won't say for what, though.)

○ Finally, not too far from the town square stands a fortune telling machine. It goes largely ignored by the regulars passing by, and if you happen to ask, it's because of one of the following reasons: It's a waste of money to begin with, or it's a waste of money because it keeps spitting out the same fortune.

Pop a single gold coin in the machine, and it'll print out your fortune. It's true that it seems to be running on repeat, though, because you're guaranteed to get one of the following two fortunes:

Disaster has invited itself to your doorstep.

Or,

Mild fortune bears down on you like the sun.

Another thing that's guaranteed: Whatever fortune you receive will have to manifest in some form. That's rather unfortunate for the ... more unfortunate ones.


G. A REPRIEVE IN THE ORCHARDS

An old half-elf by the name of Daran Edermath tends to an orchard just on the edge of town. It's a bit of a locally hidden gem for Phandalin- the old, retired adventurer turned vintner keeps the trees well nourished and tended to all year long. It's spring time here in Faerun, and naturally, there should the crowns of budding apple blossoms coming up and ready to take shape. But wandering in here, you'll notice that they've developed into beautiful looking, ripe apples.

Daran is one of the oldest living people in Phandalin and while he hasn't been around long enough to know what happened to the Lost Mine of Phandelver, he does seem to wear a sort of smile when he hears about it. See, in his youth, he snuck down there with only an apple for rations to his name. He doesn't know how he stumbled upon it, or even how he really made it past the monstrosities that lie in there. But Edermath farms remembers. Those apples that are perfectly colored and perfectly ready to eat? They're all the result of that one apple he dipped into the forge. Must be about 100 years ago.

The sweet scent of cider, sauces, and butters fills the air in almost every direction. It's a time to relax and enjoy the days before returning to base, and he's more than willing to trade a few silver pieces for a bucket of the stuff.

For those of you with a little more adventurous taste buds, Daran offers you to try an apple from a tree that grows many different colored fruits. He'll explain that there's a little bit of magic in those too, but nothing that'll hurt you. Give it a try, see what happens! These will last up to 24 hours.

○ Red - your senses elevate far beyond what a normal human should be able to accomplish. You can hear, see, smell, and touch better than you ever have before. Take a walk out into Phandalin after the dust settles. The color and the scent of the flowers should be amazing.

○ Green - you become incredibly pensive, seeing insightful things about your life that you haven't noticed before. You recall past events with a crystal clear level of understanding, to the level of being able to close your eyes and remember details that are minute- like the sound in a memory you forgot, or the way the breeze felt on a particular day.

○ Yellow - you feel lethargic. Enough to probably take a nap wherever you're currently standing. It's not a bad thing, but if you've been feeling really stressed lately or pushed yourself in battle quite a bit, waking up is going to feel about as refreshing as humanly possible.

○ Blue - you become incredibly confident with yourself. Things that might have scared you to say or do in the past feel like small anthills compared to the mountains they once were. You speak your truth when you want to, you fear nothing and become closer to your true self.

○ Pink - you're hit with a wave of affection. You're all about hugs and hand-holding and being close to people you care about. It provides a sort of blissful state that makes you want to be around other people.


Eventually, though, the dust will clear, and with the jutted earth and remains of Maru in the horizon, you'll board the orbs and return to the Moon Base.

Because a true rest after this mission is waiting you back home. You could say it's going to be quite the retreat.

A (warning: death)
[ Maybe you were one of the people that recovered his remains, or spent a shift watching over his body bag (accompanied by an utterly destroyed violin), or one of the people that dragged his body into the temple. Or maybe you just heard the rumor of a blue haired Reclaimer that chose to die to save Cocoa's life.

He's been revived in Phandalin's temple thanks to a generous donation from Maya. He's in constant pain though, so he hasn't moved very much. He certainly hasn't left to explore the town. And without anything to distract him from the pain -- no paper, no violin, no mp3 player -- he's become very cranky. The temple attendants constantly asking how he's feeling doesn't help. When footsteps approach his makeshift bed in the temple he rolls over with a groan, not even looking to see who it is. ]


Fuck off.

[ Enough prodding will get him out of his bed, if you can put up with his sour mood. ]

B
[ Congratulations! You've argued with him for more than two minutes and successfully gotten him to grumpily climb out of bed to see the town. The orchard is what catches his attention the most, especially the ripe apples. Aren't apples best in autumn? He's not sure these can taste too good if they're ripening in spring, even with magic.

From the tree that Daran has offered them to peruse, Minato's eyeing the yellow apples and the pink apples. He's already died, so it's not like whatever dumb shit these apples will due are going to do worse. Well, they might, but his pain doesn't let him care enough to think that far. Ultimately he can't be assed to decide and turns to you. ]


Suggestions?

C
[ The second the spheres started arriving he dragged his ass into one and checked in to the moonbase's infirmary. Precious, gracious relief flows through his veins. He can finally sleep his life away just like he has always wanted!

And he would, but he's been having trouble falling asleep for some reason. He's been tossing and turning for hours. It just isn't coming as naturally to him as it used to. The medics seem to think he's fine and probably just needs a bit more rest. You have to be kind to yourself; Dying is a very traumatic experience.

Next to him is some paper and pencils where he's been writing something out. His MP3 player sits neatly on top of them. When you enter he's not doing anything in particular. Staring into space, lost in thought, wishing he was asleep. He nods to you as a greeting. ]


Wildcard
[ Cocoa lived! Mission success! If you want to plot something out hit me up on Discord at Kelories#6484 or on plurk at [plurk.com profile] kelories. I'll be on hiatus from May 8th to the 24th. I might be able to tag though. We'll see. ]

Arisato-kun?

[Kaede's steps falter, her heart sinking somewhere into the floor and all but disappearing. He does hate her after all, huh? She'd been afraid of it, but had managed to convince herself that there's no way.

At least he's alive. Even if he hates her, he's alive.]


S-Sorry... I'll go if you want me to. I just... thought maybe you'd want to eat something together.

[As soon as she'd heard he was breathing and awake, she'd come running, only stopping long enough to get a basket of food from the local inn. Some kind of meat stew and coarse bread; nothing to really write home about, but she'd really thought that something like that would be comforting for him.

She'd wished there had been a friend there for her after her execution, after all.]
napstar: (tricked again)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. This overly concerned acolyte sounds just like Kaede... Wait a minute. He turns to face her. It is Kaede. He... forgets what he was doing, his muddied mind trying to piece together the meaning behind her words. He ends up staring at Kaede for a while until he works it out. ]

I'll eat.

[ He sits up slowly, huffing from the effort. He's always down to eat. ]
gotyourbach: (008)

[personal profile] gotyourbach 2019-05-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is he looking at her like that...? She clutches the basket a little more tightly, ready to argue that even if he doesn't want to spend time with her, he should at least take the food.

...Really, she should have known better than to think Minato would turn down food, though, no matter who brings it to him. She ventures closer, sets the basket down and tries to help him arrange his blankets to make it at least a little more comfortable to sit up.]


I got a funny look when I tried to ask what was in it, but... soup is supposed to be good for you, right? [She gives him a tentative smile as she offers the covered bowl from the bag. Why isn't there fantasy tupperware in Faerun; walking with a bowl covered by just a napkin was really hard!!

She holds out a spoon and some bread. Her hands are shaking, as much as she's trying not to.]
Um... do you want me to leave?
napstar: (god damn it)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ He takes the bowl from her hands and stares down at it a while. He's so bored. And tired. He wants to sleep. Some part of his mind thinks conversation might work too. Oh hey there's a bowl of food in his hand. Wait, what's she asking?

She's seen him be slow to respond before, but this is almost comical. ]


..... You can stay.

[ He wants to know how Cocoa is, but finds he can't muster the energy to ask, so he takes the napkin off of the bowl and... stares at it again. How's he going to eat this?

....

He lifts it and tilts it to pour into his mouth. ]
gotyourbach: (054)

[personal profile] gotyourbach 2019-05-02 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[It would be comical if she hadn't been sitting with his literally dead-and-mangled body recently. Instead she's left holding a spoon and just staring at him as he decides to just drink it right out of the bowl.]

Um...

[She taps his elbow with the spoon, very cautiously.]

Arisato-kun, you better not choke.

feytality: I don't know why she does this it's creepy (TOUCHES OWN FACE TO INDICATE THOUGHTS)

a ok a real tag 5 days later

[personal profile] feytality 2019-05-03 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ geez, is that any way to talk to talk to the girl who helped revive you? but maya's not mad. she gets it. the sleep collectors.... have finally come for minato, as she's warned him about. maya was right. ]

[ okay just kidding, he died, so, like, he can't realistically be expected to be in a good mood. she's patient.... in this situation. ]


I brought you some food. You can stay in bed if you want, but I have the feeling people are gonna keep bugging you.

[ she has a sandwich in hand!! ]
napstar: (we can't all be useful)

my hero!!

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-04 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. That voice seems familiar. That plus the promise of food interests him enough to turn over and see who it is. Oh hey, he remembers her. His eyes dart to her hand holding a sandwich. He opens his mouth to ask what kind it is but stops, laying there with his mouth half open for a few seconds. There's really no point in asking. He'll eat it anyway. So he sits up slowly to avoid aggravating his pain.

He's staring at Maya's hand.

Sandwich please. ]
feytality: What's even more awkward than this: they forgot all about AJ when they made DD (Soooo about that AJ)

[personal profile] feytality 2019-05-05 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's a delicious chicken sandwich, of course, handcrafted by maya herself. it's a rare occasion that she makes food for someone that isn't herself, so he better appreciate. she hands it over, but she's concerned that minato isn't strong enough to eat on his own yet, so she hovers close in case she needs to catch the sandwich or help him out or something. ]

Shoot, I should have brought water...

[ she's just now realizing this. oh well. ]

So, um... you probably don't wanna talk right now, huh?
napstar: (isn't there a protocol for that)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-06 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is she offering an entire conversation where he doesn't have to say any words AND he gets food?! Absolutely! He nods at her.

Water would have been appreciated but so will this sandwich. He takes it gently in his hands and holds it in front of his mouth for a few seconds. He's preparing for the effort it will take to chew it before he takes a bite. ]

[ she is, praise her. she's not going to chat too much either. ]

I get it. I won't bug you too much, I just wanted to make sure you were feeling a little better and if you, um, needed anything, I guess.

[ she'll get water for him once she's sure he's not going to drop her excellent sandwich on the ground!! she's poised at the ready to help him eat, if only to save the precious sandwich. ]

[Shinjiro has no idea how the revival process is supposed to work in Faerun, especially when it's not the Bureau doing it. He imagines it's rough, though, so he doesn't immediately go to visit him once he's awake again, figuring he'd probably prefer a little time to sort his shit out before he's ready to deal with people--like Shinjiro himself had needed, at first.

When he does come about a day later, it's bearing gifts. Which is to say, he brought food, of course, get-well gifts are awkward and Shinjiro would probably die again himself before he went to that depth of sentimentality.]


Food first. C'mon.

[Like, he's perfectly willing to fuck off if Arisato really wants him to, but he came for a reason, also. A brownpaper bag is placed right on the bed next to him. There's still no ramen, because existence on Faerun is cursed, but he's made a rough approximation based on what ingredients he could get from the inn via Rustic Hospitality. There's also a small container of apple turnovers made from the uh, non-magical varieties from that orchard because nobody needs to get into an embarrassing feelingfest here after the bullshit they've been through already.]
napstar: (etch a sketch)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-07 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shinji said the magic word. And also it's Shinji. Minato recognizes his voice immediately and looks back over in interest. Shinji doesn't like showing affection for people, so the fact that he's here after Minato died says a lot to him.

And he brought him food! He doubts Shinji had the time or location to make anything himself, but that's fine; Minato is still easily bribed by the cuisine. He sits up a bit too quickly and jerks to a halt, groaning in pain. God damn it. Maybe everyone should have waited a few days to resurrect him on the moon base.

He huffs and sits up the rest of the way, slowly this time. With another huff of effort he gestures to the brown bag.

What is it?

...

.....

.........

Wait he didn't say it out loud. ]


What is it?

[ There we go. ]
petsthedog: (pic#12827142)

[personal profile] petsthedog 2019-05-07 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Shinji winces slightly at the groan, but says nothing on the matter. He supposes he's lucky it was so painless for him when he woke up at the Bureau. He's not entirely sure if Minato wants help, though; if it were him, he knows he'd be too proud to ask for it and resist it if it was offered, so he holds back.]

Closest I could get to ramen. And some dessert. If you like it, I can bring you more.

[This is pretty much the Shinjiro Aragaki version of "How are you doing? Feel better soon."]

napstar: (yeah i ate it all)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-07 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ramen? Minato's eyes go wide. He's been hankering for ramen! How did Shinji know. He has to hold himself back from ripping the bag open. He gently, with obvious restraint, opens the bag and pulls out the almost-ramen. It looks good. He'll take it.

He pulls some eating utensils out of the bag as well as settles the ramen into his lap. He takes a moment to prod at it, preparing for the effort to actually eat it. A few deep breaths before lifting it up to his mouth. He's slow to take the first bite and to chew through it too. But he nods as he chews. It's good. Thanks. ]

[Gundam seems to have returned with a similar ailment. Except before admitting defeat, he tried to self medicate with a cup of chamomile tea from Bender. Which has rendered him not asleep and also utterly unable to shut up.]

So we meet at last!
napstar: (you got gipped my dude)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-06 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ "At last"? Has this guy been looking for him? Or is Minato famous now that he has died? He could see that. Might as well greet his fan. ]

Hello.

[ He would sympathize with the chamomile tea mishap. He was tricked into it's terrible effects a few weeks ago by someone he knows. Absolutely horrible for someone that both loves sleep and dislikes talking. ]

[As much as Sayori wants to visit Minato as soon as she hears that he's alive, she tries to put herself in his shoes. He probably has a lot of close friends who will be visiting him. He'll probably be tired. He might be sad--if he can feel sad. Sayori thinks she would probably just feel empty. And she wouldn't want anyone to see her like that.

Darkness, but breathable.

So she waits to visit until they're back at base. By then, she's had some time to calibrate her own emotions too, so that she can show up to the infirmary with a smile. She holds her journal in one hand and a Supercookie--a triple chocolate cookie sandwiched between two magical chocolate chip cookies--on a small plate in the other.]
Hi there!

How are you feeling? I can come back later if it's not a good time!
napstar: (when's dinner)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-11 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
... Now's fine.

[ What kind of cookie monstrosity did she walk in with? ]
hxppythxughts: Used w/ permission from artist. Please do not take. (charm♥ to come out and play?)

[personal profile] hxppythxughts 2019-05-14 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Supercookie, obviously!

Her smile becomes brighter.]
Awesome! [With his approval, she plops herself in a seat near his bed. She offers out the plate.] I brought you a snack! You can take it apart if you want but it's really good if you eat it all together.
napstar: (we don't sell that anymore)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-14 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It just looks like three cookies stacked on top of each other... But if she says they're supposed to be eaten all at once, he'll give it a go. They're cookies. It can't be bad. So he takes the plate from her and gives the sandwich a once over before picking it up and biting into it. It tastes... well, it tastes like two different cookies. Similar in texture but different in their base flavor. They compliment each other well.

He gives her a nod. ]


It's good.

grakraka: (guardian ad litem)

a / open for a special surprise

[personal profile] grakraka 2019-05-11 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It shouldn't amuse him so much to hear that from Minato, especially in this situation, but really, it does. No one comes back from the dead but here they do. At least, they do. It's all so surreal and stupid and Minato died helping his dog while Akechi had a wonderful time on this mission otherwise. How fucked up is that?

Akechi smiles to himself.]


Oh and after I managed to sneak Cocoa in to say thank you, too. Well, that is fair. I can leave you two alone.

[Though he does mean it, even if it sounds playful.]
napstar: (ok voices let me sleep tonight)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-11 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh hey that's Goro's voice. Cocoa's here? He turns over slowly, opening a single eye to investigate. ]

Cocoa-chan?
grakraka: (nec vi nec clam nec precario)

[personal profile] grakraka 2019-05-11 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
[At her name, Cocoa perks up and bounces from Akechi's side to Minato's bed instead, wagging her tail as she tries to press her head into him.]

She was very worried, I think.
napstar: (golden chocobo)

[personal profile] napstar 2019-05-11 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Minato smiles as Cocoa shoves her head into him. He reaches out to gently stroke her head. ]

I'm fine. I'm here.
