[action: Downtown]

[There's a tiny blue-haired boy, asking the drones about something. But going by his sullen look, he's not having much luck. So now he's approached you to ask:]

E-excuse me? How do I get home?


 [action: Park]

[There is now a tiny blue-haired boy, attempting to play with one of the dogs in the Mayfield streets. What do?]


[action: Bakery]

[Now Minato's hungry, but as he has no useful money (no one takes yen 8( ), he's resorted to window-shopping all the tasty-looking baked goods.]

[His heart skips a beat. But it's too soon to draw any conclusions, so he tries to hide the anxiety creeping in as best he can]

You're in luck. I'm from, which isn't too far from there. I'm Yosuke. What's your name?

[prefool]

[Oh, someone close to where he lives. Lucky indeed.]

I'm Minato. Arisato Minato.

If we can contact my parents that'd be great!

[princeofjunes]

[Okay. Don't panic. Whatever the hell Mayfield did this time, it's always temporary. Always. But how the hell is he supposed to stall for time with this little kid? Think, Yosuke!]

Yeah, that's a good idea. But it might take a few days to get everything set - the technology in this place really sucks.

There's somewhere you're staying for now, right? Why don't I take you there?

[prefool]

[Yay! A way to contact them...but a few days? W3h :|]

But I'm gonna miss the Moonlight Bridge opening.

Um...well... [Shifting his feet.]

[princeofjunes]

The moonlight bridge? [He makes a mental note to ask Naoto about that later, and then moves on]

Wait, what's wrong?

[prefool]

N-nothing. Just...[He mutters something.] I kind of did.

[princeofjunes]

[Oh lord why can't one of the girls be here right now they'd be so much better at this than he is]

Kind of? What happened?

[prefool]

...

Some weird woman tried to make me her kid.

[princeofjunes]

[... shit, the drones. Of course he wouldn't want to be in a house with drones. But then, his choices are limited - and Yosuke sighs inwardly as he realizes what he'll have to do]

Well, there's no weird people like that at my house. You can stay with me, if you want.

[prefool]

Hn? But you're...

[A stranger is what he's supposed to say.]

[princeofjunes]

I know, I'm another weird guy you don't really know. You don't have to, and I won't make you. It's up to you, alright? I'm just offering.
