a. cabins
[ He's always been a heavy sleeper. Thus, the resort's recent transformations do nothing to disturb Minato's rest. It's the fact that, instead, the bed feels a little warmer than usual, a little cozier than what he's accustomed to.

He runs cold -- can't resist curling a little closer against the mystery heat source while sighing contentedly. The oversized t-shirt and loose sleep shorts aren't enough to keep him warmed. Either way, seems like he's happy to keep catching those zzz's unless properly roused from sleep.

Alternatively: this is your room, and you don't recognize the head of blue hair peeking out from underneath the covers as your cabinmate. But who has two thumbs and is absentminded enough to mistake an unlocked cabin as his own, crawling into the bed still fully clothed for a little nap...? This guy. ]


b. on the deck
[ A vast ocean that looks and smells real -- it's almost too good to be true. He heads for the top deck first, dressed in navy blue shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with various breads, a few of the pastries lightly charred for reasons unclear to Minato. There's a pair of dollar store neon-blue shutter shades perched on his head too. You might catch him hovering near the edges, observing the available activities or peering curiously over the edge of the railing.

Wow. There's some weird stuff out there. Are we sure this isn't just the latest patch to VR Hearts Game Island 2.0...?

Otherwise, he spends his time at one of the smaller decks, stance relaxed while soaking in the sight of the open sea. There's a group of guests fishing off to the side, and he'll observe them too with an inquisitive expression. He's never really seen anyone fish up close before. Any time someone manages to reel something in, there's a genuine spark of awe in his eyes. ]


c. speed dating / kink bingo
[ One might wonder whether the blue velvet draperies of Crystal Submarine are awfully familiar to Minato, but it's a different Persona protagonist who got that VIP treatment.

(Minato, Kotone, and Akira would like a refund. Thanks, Igor.)

But here he is, a half-drunk glass arranged in front of him and seated across his first speed dating partner. Each person's bingo card lies face up on the table. Minato's is Card C, and it looks like he hasn't quite gotten to anything yet. Any square is yours for the taking. ]


Anything's fine. I guess it doesn't hurt to help each other where we can.

[ Don't ask him if he's interested in any specific squares. You'll never get anywhere... ]


d. etc.
[ If we have bingo plans and didn't have specifics for a thread, feel free to hop in here and we can go from there! Otherwise, hmu at [plurk.com profile] alaudarum and we can hammer out details for a closed thread. For purposes of bingo, Minato has Card C. Info/perms are here. If you have any questions, feel free to PM or priv plurk me! ]

SATORU GOJO
ARCANA WORLD
10Rank
MAX ★★★★★★★★★★
Not just 'the Strongest', but a teacher, too. Devotion is a word for what Yuji feels towards Gojo, but the reality is this: there is no one in the world he trusts as much as his teacher, and no one he believes in as much, no matter what. His dedication to him is pretty much endless.
ITADORI CHOSO
ARCANA HANG.
10Rank
MAX ★★★★★★★★★★
In some ways, Choso could be described as all that Yuji has left 'back home', the only person waiting for him to get back. His brother, finally landing on aniki, even if Yuji's not completely sure how or why it is the way it is - but it's something he trusts. Choso is the person he knows he can turn to, the person he trusts, with his fears, his nightmares, his joy, and everything in between, and he wants to do the same in return. If he lost him, he's not sure what he would do: there would be nothing but heartache left.
NANAMI KENTO
ARCANA TEMP.
10Rank
MAX ★★★★★★★★★★
How do you describe someone who's memory gives you enough strength to keep fighting? Nanami's last words don't haunt Yuji: they provide him with the motivation to keep going, even in the darkest moments. The joy he feels at getting a little more time with this man is impossible to describe.
SUGURU GETO
ARCANA EMPEROR
7Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Gojo has told him he's dangerous, a curse user, and someone not to be trusted, but other than their first violent meeting he's been nice to Yuji. Geto has proven himself as someone that Yuji can trust, who would take care of him and check in on him, and it's hard to rationalise that with some of the stories he's heard. At the end of the day, he trusts Geto and cares about him, and he can only hope that he keeps his word.
OKKOTSU YUTA
ARCANA LOVERS
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
A senpai that Yuji can trust. He has a lot of faith in Yuta as a person and thinks that he's the kind of guy that can be relied on, and has no idea of the self-sacrficial similarities between them. His trust in Yuta has taken a hit from the reminder of what happened with Gojo, but he's working hard to get over that as best he can.
BAKUGO KATSUKI
ARCANA CHARIOT
10Rank
MAX ★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji's best friend. Bakugo knows more about him than almost anyone else in Synflux and is able to read him like a book. The level of devotion that Yuji feels for Katsuki rivals that of the people from his own world, and he would sacrifice himself in an instant if he thought it would save him (not that Bakugo would ever want him to). They depend on each other, they care about each other and Yuji knows their friendship is something very, very special.
RAIDOU KUZONOHA
ARCANA JUSTICE
9Rank
★★★★★★★★★
Boyfriend. Confidant. Learning to be brave together, and growing stronger as a pair. Yuji adores Raidou and would do practically anything for him - he wants to make sure he is safe, and happy, and well taken care of, for as long as they can be together.
VERITAS RATIO
ARCANA SUN
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Someone who actually seems to care about how Yuji does academically, which is a little bit baffling. Ratio's had to see a lot of Yuji that he'd rather have not let him see, but he trusts him enough to know it'll be safe. He wants to impress Ratio and make him proud, even if he remains less than stellar at schoolwork. Things got complicated when Yuji was dumped as a student, but they're improving...?
SILCO
ARCANA EMPEROR
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji still doesn't really know what to make of Silco. He seems intense, and definitely has something going on, but he's been nothing but "nice" to Yuji - in his own way. After sharing some of his most intense memories and being brutally honest with him, though, it's hard not to feel a closer connection with him.
LUCY
ARCANA DEATH
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji doesn't completely know what to make of Lucy, not when Choso called her by another name, but he thinks that she's nice, and someone he's glad to call a friend. She's someone he enjoys spending time with, and would take care of her if she needed it - not that he thinks she'll ask.
AVENTURINE
ARCANA FORT.
3Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Someone that's close to Ratio-sensei, and seems to empathise in a way Yuji's not exactly comfortable with. He thinks he's cool, though, and would be happy to spend time getting to know him better.
MURAMASA
ARCANA CHARIOT
2Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
What is Yuji meant to make out of this guy? He seems nice enough, but also that specific kind of weird that Yuji can't help but get magnetised to him. At least he appreciates his strength, but please don't shout at him again...
ERESHKIGAL
ARCANA DEATH
2Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
A goddess, apparently, but someone who seems really nice? She reminds Yuji a lot of some of the assistants from home - the nervous kind who want to do their best - and he thinks she's nice. Someone to get to know better in the future!
GODZILLA
ARCANA EMPEROR
1Rank
★★★★★★★★★
At first, Yuji thought it was super cool that they had Godzilla on their team, but some of the things that he's seen (and heard) the 'Titan' say and do have made him less comfortable than he might have been before. He's still willing to work with the guy, but he's wary.
KAGA
ARCANA CHARIOT
1Rank
REVERSED ★★★★★★★★★
It takes a great deal for Yuji Itadori to say he doesn't like someone, let alone hate them, but Kaga is as close as he'd get to hatred and disgust in Neo Tokyo. Her disregard for life and the cruelty with which she speaks rubs him the wrong way, and he loathes interacting with her.
ZEN'IN MAKI
ARCANA DEATH
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji has a lot of respect for Maki, even if he doesn't know her that well - he thinks she's cool, but more than that, she's someone to look up to in terms of strength. If she needed anything, he'd be right there to help her, even if he believes she might not like that notion.
FUSHIGURO TOJI
ARCANA TOWER
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
The man seems to be everything he doens't like in a person, but the problem is that he's his best friend's dad, so he has to almost try. At least, for now, they're not actively arguing... And Yuji bets he could take him in a fight. After Megumi left they were able to get a little closer, but it wasn't really anything as special as the other adults in his life.
SUKUNA
ARCANA DEVIL
10Rank
REVERSED ★★★★★★★★★★
The worst person (curse) Yuji has ever met, the bane of his existance, his worst enemy and, somehow, someone he is still deperately trying to find the humanity in. He hates Sukuna, loathes him for all the horrible things he put him through, and all he can do is hope that being in Neo Tokyo does something - something that he wasn't able to do back home. In the end, though, he can never really forgive Sukuna for what he did, no matter how hard he fights for a better future.
MARCILLE
ARCANA MAGIC.
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
There's a reason why Yuji calls her 'onee-san', and it's not just because Choso likes her: Marcille has acted like a big sister to him since she arrived, and Yuji trusts her. He's told her more about himself than he thinks he should have, and he knows if he needs comfort he can rely on her to help him. He'll do the same for her in return, even if he cries on her all the time.
WRIOTHESLEY
ARCANA JUDGE.
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Someone Yuji has known since his arrival in Synflux and someone who has taken care of him since then. Wriothesley has always checked in on him, kept an eye on him and ensured that he was alright, even in one of his worst moments, and he appreciates that. He wishes he could do more of the same in return.
MARCH 7
ARCANA STAR
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
A kindred spirit! Yuji thinks that March is someone special, someone that he can trust and rely on - both in a battle, but also outside of it, to have fun and find some way of relaxing. He'd protect her with all that he has, if it came to it.
YOR FORGER
ARCANA STREN.
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji's never had a mother, or a big sister, but the way that Yor takes care of him makes realise how it might have felt. He thinks she's genuinely wonderful, and incredibly kind, even if she has terrible taste in men. Also, she's really strong and that's incredibly cool

The night continues without him down in the great hall. His slipping away was noticed by the usual suspects--Caduceus, Beauregard--but that is for the best. Someone should know where he might be if he doesn't return in a reasonable time. It's more surprising that Beauregard didn't insist on going with him. He's glad he doesn't have to convince her to let him handle this himself. As he rises up in the tower's center column, the sound of Veth shrieking can be heard followed by a clamor of other familiar voices and unintelligible words. But when the iris closes behind him, it's suddenly quiet.

He'd expected Astrid to get further, but if there was any place for her to get waylaid, the library makes sense. The allure of books is difficult for any wizard to resist. The hearth in the parlor burns warm and bright and cheery, but there is still something unsettling about the way the firelight plays over her features. A guilty knot in his stomach, an uneasy prickling on the back of his neck. It runs right up against the devastating fondness he feels at seeing her sitting cross-legged on the thick rug in the middle of the room surrounded by several volumes she seems to have laid out in a methodical system.

"You could have asked for a tour," he tells her in their own tongue, aware he'd already effectively announced himself. One corner of his lips twitches upward in the threat of a smile. Like the look in his eyes, it's as pained as it is fond. She doesn't care about a tour, of course. He is well aware that what she wants is to snoop around without his supervision. That, unfortunately, isn't something he's willing to permit.

The gap between wanting to trust her and actually trusting her is more like a chasm, wider and deeper than it seems. If he falls in he'll never crawl his way back out again.

"What are you reading?" His boots sink into the rug where he stops several paces back. There is no way to affect casualness with her, so he doesn't try. He really wants to know.

ABOUT.
an overly competitive, over-achieving perfectionist who feels the need to deliver only the best in everything she's decided she'll do, and is rather harsh with herself when met with failure. she's a hunter of monsters called 'disaster beasts' or 'maga' and her preferred weapon is a sword.

oh, and she's fully admitted that her reason for wanting to be the best at what she does is because she wants to be praised 24/7...

simple facts about her:
-  uses boku when referring to herself.
-  honestly, despite how difficult she usually is, there's a certain subset of people she will defer to. she will be polite to support staff/people who haven't done anything to earn it and she follows the orders given to her by yoki and yoki ONLY as of current canon. he's her dog dad.
-  even though her district is utterly lawless in that no one hardly ever enforces anything, she maintains a strict adherence to the law anyway.
-  for reasons still unexplained, her blood is especially attractive to said disaster beasts. this makes her a priority target because she's extra tasty. she uses this to her advantage because she's insane and overconfident i guess.
-  prefers to solo jobs. has to be asked by yoki to take someone with her.. or bribed with meat, apparently.
-  the people who dispatch her has confirmed that she's never gotten injured despite insisting on going solo, which is probably linked to the blood thing.
-  she has been with the saragi for about 10 years? which has made her a senior to a number of people in the organization despite being 16, which isn't common. most the people who work there are full-fledged adults (with the exception of alma, who is 15, half-maga, and goes on missions with his guardian).
-  absolutely abhors being referred to as a kid, probably for that exact reason.
-  apparently most people don't know her last name???? no one hardly ever calls her anything but nei.
-  the takarai family was loaded, but is also kinda pretty fucking dead.
-  eldest daughter is how she was referred to when that news broke out, but canon hasn't shown siblings?
-  steals jobs from her coworkers even though they're perfectly able to do it themselves, just so she can get more chances to get praised.
-  doesn't ever take a break, which worries yoki greatly.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
VISUAL. long, pink hair, and very put together no matter what. usually she has a tie or two in her hair in the form of a black rope/ribbon with a bead fastened on both ends and will usually be up more often than not. her outfit has changed a few times in the series, but these remain true regardless.

usually has two swords with her, sometimes one. also heels sometimes? crazy. 

DEMEANOR. direct, chipper, but easily angered and kind of a brat. she can be utterly shameless in bragging about herself and her accomplishments (no matter how small, like eating vegetables...) and has no issues with soliciting praise for it. she will, however, get embarrased if it's presented in a way she wasn't expecting, then she just gets flustered-mad.

she has old mannerisms from when she was younger that stuck with her. a little young lady, but also she's ready to throw hands whenever.
 
SCENT.leans more towards floral and fruit. orange blossoms, ylang ylang, that kind of thing.


PERMISSIONS.
OOC
backtagging. i do my best to! but if it's been a few weeks... it's probably buried. don't be afraid to remind me though.

threadjacking. on funnier, shorter memes? or network threads not marked private? by all means! i think it's funny. if not, maybe a heads up or a quick ask especially with the other half of the convo.
 
others. any other questions, or if you want to plot outside of memes, feel free to dm! discord also available and preferred as i am more active there. and also, if you ever need to drop a tag for any reason, whether to lighten your load or you just don't want to or it looked like a good stopping point, don't feel too fussed about it!


IC
touching. ✔ she might have an issue with it but i dont. she's not averse to it, really. she's been shown to be smothered by yoki and dara and she doesn't mind. just selective. gotta earn the right, yfm.

kissing.  look above!

shipping. ✔ f/* for this! she's 16, but i don't mind age gaps if she's the younger party. otherwise i'll always assume gen w older crowds until given the indication of some kinda interest/it was discussed or something, and i'd say 15 is the lowest i'm willing to go. she's fun in a pairing that gets her competitive and/or riled up side into the picture. banter is a favorite for sure and what would make me enjoy a ship more than anything.

smut.  notes and such are in this kinklist.

injury/fighting. i'm bad at writing them but i don't mind it. getting her injured would be good for her inflated ego probably.

death. sure why not. let's talk about it.
