I wanted to be a lumberjack...

[fools_journey]

Who: Minako & Minato Arisato and YOU
Where: Starting in Pisces and moving around the city!
Summary: Minako drags Minato out of bed to explore! And hopefully they'll run into more people on the way...
Warnings: uncalled for violence with pillows none

ooc: first thread reserved for Minako's wake-up call, but otherwise the twins will be out and about. Please feel free to threadjack or start a new thread if you want them to run into your character or wish to run into them!



Earlier...

Oh, how wonderful it was to finally have been allowed to go to their apartments and get some sleep! If he were awake, Minato would have barely remembered staggering through the door and collapsing on his bed. Or futon. Whatever it was. It didn't really matter to him presently, as he was sound asleep, still in his (singed and smokey) school uniform. At least he'd remembered to remove his shoes, though he did seem to have forgotten to lock his door.



Later...

With the sleepyhead up, washed, in clean clothes and out the door, it was time for the two of them to explore! Apartments were all well and good, but there was so much more to the city than mere residential districts. So of course that meant it was time to find the subway station, hop on a tube and go exploring!

Besides, knowing where things were was the first step in finding a good place to get a job, get food to eat, engage in various activities to raise one's social stats, etc...

Good on him. Clubs were a waste of time. Or so Shinjiro told himself. Not that he had ever bothered to participate in any. Hell if he knew how any of them managed to budget their time between school, clubs, and Tartarus to begin with.

He finally leads them out of the back alleys, stopping and reorienting himself for a few seconds before choosing to walk in a northernly direction. Less trouble that way, and nearer to decent society.

"You bother to even join anything?"

His words, of course, though knife-sharp, are only as harsh as one interprets them to be.

"I'm sure Mitsuru-senpai got him to join Student Council." If she'd had enough confidence in him to make him the leader, she's sure he would've been asked that particular favor as well. And Mitsuru has a way of making you do your best to please her.

Minato nods in answer to Minako's remark. "Mitsuru-senpai doesn't take no for an answer..." There's a pause, then, as he thinks about what counts. "Mm, I ran track and was part of the art and fashion clubs."

He is the most overtly stereotypically masculine guy you will ever meet, Shinjiro. Having an overloaded and meticulously balanced schedule, it seems, is another thing he shares in common with his sister. Though perhaps maybe he didn't manage quite so well, if his habit of falling asleep in class from time to time is any indication...

Still, he doesn't seem particularly defensive in response to Shinjiro's pointed question. He's well aware that the way he carries himself and the way he acts doesn't exactly give the impression of a high energy, very social student. But there's a place even for the quiet slouchy ones in clubs and social activities.

So Minato was basically part of the "misunderstood creative soul brigade" plus a little bit of running and model guinea pig work.

Well, whatever floats his boat.

Not like Minato looks like he has a lot of testosterone in his system anyway. Probably had gotten bullied into submission by excess melatonin a long time ago. Hell, Minato probably doesn't eat right either, not if he's at all familiar with the dorm's horrendous dining habits. That might help explain Minato's perpetually drowsy look.

"You go running with Aki then?"

He knew Minako had, occasionally.

He is totally a misunderstood creative soul. Can't you see how tortured he is? No? ... well, neither can he. He just rolled a die went for the club that gave him the option to muck about with paints from time to time. And draw zombies when he was supposed to be drawing statues. But this isn't about art - this is about exercise, and in any event, Minato gives something between a nod and a shrug.

"Mm. Sometimes."

Not every morning and definitely not on the mornings of exams or when he has a cold, but definitely a few times a week. In fact, they'll even be taking it up again in the future...

Once Minato mentions his participation on the Track team, Minako is suddenly reminded of a throwaway line from Yuko during the summer fellowship.

'I'd prefer a thin guy, but he'd have to be athletic... And there's no one at our school who fits that description.'

...Well, it seems in some world, at least, she got her wish.

She doesn't want to embarrass Minato by mentioning this though, so instead- "We should all go running together here sometime, then."
