1st Punch [Video]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Akihiko is standing in front of a terminal, musing for a few minutes on what he wants to say to the others. After he makes up his mind, he touches the screen to access the network.]

Hey, everyone. Listen up!

You all know what we have to do. Being stubborn about it is just gonna get you killed, so don’t even bother wasting your time. We don’t have to hang off of each other all the time! Stick with your friends, or just go shake someone’s hand every once in a while. This energy problem affects everyone, and there’s no sense in making things worse.

[He’s not happy about being stuck in some foreign city either, completely cut off from home, but there’s a mission to complete here. The sooner they get it done and over with, the sooner they can all go back home. Right?]

So, c’mon, guys! [Akihiko lifts his arms and punches one fist into the opposite open palm, while maintaining a confident look on his face.] Let’s help each other out, okay?

[Wow, kind of different but he can go with it.]

That's something new to hear. It's kind of refreshing.

[HE'S BOUNCY LIKE RISE]

Yo. [Akihiko flashes him a grin.] What's up? You'd better not be one of those stubborn ones. [Because he will hunt you down.]

[callmewhateveryuwant]

Don't need to worry about me, I got it under control.

[He touches plenty ok]

[Mr. Pokey Pants]

That's good. Heh, one less person I've gotta knock out. [He means baby-sit, really.]

[callmewhateveryuwant]

I think that would make more enemies than friends.

[Sheesh man.]

[He shrugs slightly.] I’m not trying to, but some people need an extra push, you know?

Hey, about before… Minako spoke pretty highly of you. [Akihiko smiles at him with gratitude, hiding that strange unease he felt when she was talking about the other teen.] She said you guys hit it off pretty quickly. So, thanks for… helping her out.

[She did? It kind of surprised him but also it didn't: he did what he felt was right and not deserving of the praise. But also...]

It's what friends do for each other.

[Video] sorry for my late tag orz D:

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[He nods in agreement.] Yeah, of course. We should get to know each other better too. Pretty interesting coincidence, huh? Us being from close areas.

[Though he has no idea that the other is also a Persona user.]

and mine ;;

[callmewhateveryuwant]

It's a small world, isn't it?

[Same here, wonder what would happen when he shows that he has the same power as his girlfriend?]
