Jackie tended to be an easy target in general and he'd thank her for not succumbing to the temptation if he'd known.

After several minutes of silent movement, he finally came to a stop in the very same position he'd started in. Releasing a slow, gentle breath, his eyes opened to find that he'd gained an audience.

"Oh! Good morning! I didn't expect to see anyone else out this early."

[Charlie keeps waving back probably to the point that it becomes awkward, but doesn't seem to mind.

Eventually, when his arm gets tired, he drops it and looks around at the lake with a satisfied nod.]

I beat all the bad guys up. You don't have to hide in the tree anymore, if you don't wanna.

[Yep. Still staying in character.]

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

[Oh, sure, ignore her arm. HOW DARE YOU.]

Man, people like you are easy to figure out. Look at how you're acting now!

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Yup! Pretty cool, isn't it? [Say yes. Validate her.]

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Well, that's why we're here, right? To figure out how to use our powers better. Once you get used to it, I'm sure you'll be kick ass at whatever it is you do.

[buzzkilldetective]

... Right. Thank you.

[She pauses for a moment, then remembers--] Ah, I completely neglected to introduce myself. I apologize. My name is Naoto Shirogane. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Gaige.

[voice]

[ironoxides]

Wasn't me.

Naoto Shirogane | Persona 4

[buzzkilldetective]

[Normally, Naoto hates standing around and looking like an idiot but right now... well, standing around and looking like an idiot is probably more preferable to wandering off and getting herself more lost.

She doesn't have a map and this campus is huge and she's not entirely sure she even got directions to the girls' dormitory.

So standing around with her suitcase and looking like an idiot it is. For now.

... If anyone would be willing to help, she'd appreciate it.]

[green_eyed]

Maybe I'm just having a shitty day.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Maybe you just have a shitty attitude.

"I tend to wake up early out of habit, even if my daughter lives in the dorms and doesn't need me to make certain her morning is off to the right start." Nevermind that she text's Chen every morning with her routine so that she won't forget. "So I find myself with more free time."

[byeontae_geomi]

Ah, I missed you, pretty janitor. It's been so dull not having you around to tease~

[byeontae_geomi]

Oh this was too perfect. This kid looked lost. That was her favorite kind of look on newbies. She stalked for a brief moment, Naoto no doubt feeling the creepy and invasive sensations of Juri's Eye on her briefly before she decided to literally pop out of nowhere and introduce herself.

"Hoo boy, you sure don't seem to be from this neck of the woods, stranger~"

[green_eyed]

Maybe you're just... shitty... shitfuck!

"It's a habit for me as well. It must be nice getting to stay here with your daughter," or so he might assume. He has no children of his own, but he does have a niece and he's admittedly looking forward to what he's hoping will be a bit of a reprieve from her brand of mischief.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Looks like I got ya with that one! [Insert one cocky-ass grin.]

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Hey, when you get caught up, it happens. Nice to meet you, too! Okay if I call you Naoto? [She's culturally aware. Sort of.]

[soccerwhisperer]

[He didn't have to unintentionally sense her emotions to tell that she was lost.]

Umm...

[he clears his throat, trying to pretend he didn't slip into his Japanese mindset]

H--Hello...! Do you need help?

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

[Hey, she needs the hardware, okay?]

No clue what you're talking about, chief.

[buzzkilldetective]

She froze momentarily when she felt Juri's Eye on her and jumped when the older girl appeared suddenly.

She attempted to regain her composure with a quick cough. "I suppose you could say something to that effect. I only just arrived, actually..."

[buzzkilldetective]

[Well, luckily for him, she managed to pick up that hesitant "um" that clearly wasn't in English, so she'll do him a favor and respond in Japanese!]

Help would be much appreciated, yes. Do you happen to know which way the girls' dorms are from here?

[buzzkilldetective]

Yes, "Naoto" is perfectly fine.

... I'm actually a rather recent transfer, myself. I just got settled in, in fact.

[notveryknightly]

I have a feeling I know who it was and you're not them so you're definitely off the hook.

[notveryknightly]

Nice to see you, too, Juri.

But knowing you, I'm sure you've got plenty of ways of having fun without needing me to be around. Scare the pants off any freshmeat around here lately?

[ironoxides]

Sweet.

That'd be too much work and fresh air for me, anyway.
