Well, to start, Magatus is in a wintry wonderland if it weren't for the wolves. Based on what the villagers have said, they've been having problems with the wolves, even losing the ski lodge because the wolves invaded that area. While they're depicted to be aggressive, our contact with the wolves so far said otherwise. Their behavior seemed completely different. When we saw one, it decided to run away instead of chasing us off its territory. Of course we chased it, but then it didn't trust us and put us through a weird trial. After a couple of offerings and some reassuring words, it opened up. We learned that the wolf is being corrupted by a darkness, the same darkness that is tipping the balance in the supernatural and material realm, and it wants our help.
[ He thinks he summed it up— ]
The wolf is named Magnus and it's male, he has a lot of powers like shapeshifting and making copies of himself. I think he can also be in several places at the same time? He's the wolf in the legend that looks over Magatus. Really likes belly rubs.
[ Akira may or may not be very fond of this dog. ]
[ Akira is a lover of animals. As a child, he had a dream to hold a koala, but moved to the United States before that dream can be fulfilled in Japan... And it isn't technically offered here in the states.
The more you know. ]
Or sheer force.
[ He isn't going to pretend that obliterating something won't fix their problems, too. ]
[ Akira... One day you'll get to hold a koala, or something like a koala. I'm cheering for you. ]
...Well, I suppose, but I wanted to go with the nicer answer. [ She's going to pat his head. C'mon..... Where's your Shounen Spirit...... ] How do you propose using sheer force against darkness though?
[ Thank you... At least someone believes in his dream that is long forgotten. Blinking slowly, he wonders what prompted the pat. Not that he minds it. Pats and pets are okay. ]
And do you have any of that? [ amused. ] Furthermore, you aren't pushing yourself too hard, are you? Using your Persona can be quite taxing—even I get worn out after a while.
[ Robin Hood can be their new savior in the coming rapture........ ]
Yes, actually. I accompanied some acquaintances into the tunnels and fought quite a few chimeras. [ Mmmm. ] Outside of that, I've summoned them while in the Velvet Room to keep me company, seeing as the rest of you that can enter have gone and left me on my lonesome.
[ Silver went on the fucking trip and to this day Akira is still wondering why he didn't stay behind to stay with her, but likewise he knows why? It's not like he would have stayed behind just because Goro was in the city.
... Huh. ]
That's nothing a simple phone call can help, but what if I got you body pillows of your roommates? And the Velvet Room guests.
No, that isn't necessary. I was only joking, Akira. [ Has he ever seen Elizabeth embarrassed before? Today might be a first, she's looking away and tucking some hair behind her ear idly. ] Thank you for the incredibly gracious offer, however. Do you have one of Goro?
[ I can imagine it now... Akira will be entering their place and Elizabeth turns on the light, sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and a cup of hot coco. Waiting for him. Patiently.
Anyway, he gives her a dubious look at first. Uhm. ]
[ ...I'm pretty sure that was discussed with Peace as happening with Goro back when he was still sneaking out actually— ]
You remembered. [ She is... surprised!? But pleased. ] Yes. And because I'd like to put it in the living room so that whenever you visit, you have a brother to sit with.

Hopquest would be a big hit, I think. [ Scratching his cheek, he can imagine it now. ] So you wanted to hear about the wolf?
no subject
For now: ] Please. Spare no detail, Aki.

[ .............that isn't what she's actually taking away from this, she's just filling her end of the conversation while she mulls over everything. ]
I suppose the next step is to defeat the darkness with the power of light, love, and friendship then. [ just like my vidya games ]

Light magic.

[ He has a backup plan here! Robin Hood can be their new savior in the coming rapture. ]
I actually haven't needed to summon it that much at all. It's a little disappointing. [ heeee wants to fiiiight. ] What about you?
no subject
Yes, actually. I accompanied some acquaintances into the tunnels and fought quite a few chimeras. [ Mmmm. ] Outside of that, I've summoned them while in the Velvet Room to keep me company, seeing as the rest of you that can enter have gone and left me on my lonesome.

no subject
[ He has the key, so he can just visit and cuddle with Goro whenever, even in the dead at night when he would be mistaken for a burglar.
It's fine? Anyway, he notices those sheepish gestures. Looking away spells it all. ]
You may have one body pillow. Choose wisely.
no subject
Well, if you're going to insist on such a thing... [ ...She'll look him dead in the eye. ] One of you will do.

Is it because I'm your muse?

Are you sure Goro wouldn't kick up a fuss over it?
no subject
[ oh my god, elizabeth ]
no subject
Speechless and embarrassed? Is his face heating up? Huh. Time to look away and not say a fucking word. THANKS. ]
no subject
I'm sure he's said as much before, Aki. What are you getting so embarrassed about?
