4th Social Link ▫ [Video + Action]

[jivitadana]

[It's not every day one wakes up and is suddenly inside another body. Or more like Minato was inside a smaller, younger version of his body. He looked like this when he was six years old. It's definitely an event as was announced over the network. But no problem.

There was something on a wall though like a puzzle? But he had to look up, up, and up at it, squinting through the fog. The puzzle was way too high up and no matter how much he tried to jump to reach it, it was not getting any closer.

He had to find something to climb up on. A rolling office chair it was then! That served four purposes:
1) He could move it around easily and adjust the seat up and down to get to places too high to reach
2) He could hide behind it if need be
3) It could be his getaway vehicle if he needed to escape from those monsters
4) The video from the comm device hanging from it would capture where he might be within the foggy laboratory

Thus here's a tiny Minato slowly making his own way through the fog with his trusty rolling chair until he bumps into someone... Is that someone you?]

Oh, sorry... I didn't mean it... Um, are you hurt?

[Pushing a chair with limited visibility is hard and he is profusely sorry for bumping into you! Please feel free to help him reach the puzzle? Or run into him during his travels?]

Comments

[jivitadana]

[Aw, congrats, Ishimaru, you're the first person to make him smile since this event started.]

Thank you. You're a really good friend.

[Time would pass by faster too now that he was feeling better.]

[moraloutrage]

[Aw, and what an adorable smile! He's proud to have earned it.]

I... I am?! I did not think that I could come so far... just becoming a 'friend' of someone used to seem like a hurdle that I could never clear! Thank you for bestowing such an honor onto me... my own good friend, Arisato-kun!!

[jivitadana]

[Social Link established? Why yes, done and done. But that is seriously not the main reason why he makes friends, he promises!

Aw, but that little confession is a bit heartbreaking. Minato moved a little closer to Ishimaru and gave him a small makeshift hug.]

It works both ways. If I'm your friend, then you're my friend too.

[It's a definite win-win.]

[moraloutrage]

[But which arcana does he get??

Ah, that hug. Ishimaru isn't very accustomed to hugs, but after a moment of cluelessness, he wraps an arm back around the child.]

Yes, of course! As dedicated as I have been to my studies, I- I have also always hoped to forge such a mutual friendship! I must say, I feel quite pleased with this turn of events!

[jivitadana]

[Probably Strength. Having a gallant spirit and having an unshakable resolve. Something like that? It seems to fit!

Minato is totally cool with hugs and he was glad that it seemed like it was helping. He looked up at Ishimaru again.]

Me too. It'll be okay if we look out for each other.

[Doing that would definitely help get them and their other friends though events too.]

[moraloutrage]

[That'll do!! He nods in affirmation.]

I am glad that you agree! Hard work can endure against any obstacle. But team work is still very splendid in its own way!

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded into Ishimaru, agreeing too with that, and then gently relinquished him.]

Should we work on more puzzles then together?

[Then they can uncover the mysteries of the lab and the next floor too.]

[moraloutrage]

Yes, of course! Arisato-kun, let us keep on working hard!

[With that, he pats Minato on the head for a moment and then gets back to working hard on the puzzle!

ooc: We could wrap this thread here unless there's anything else you want to cover!]

[jivitadana]

[Minato liked that pat on the head since it was nice to think that someone was helping to look after him. It was to think about even if he were in his normal body and event free too. He'd owe Ishimaru after this.

And it's puzzle time! Gotta finish those puzzles and then figure out what to do from there.]

[OOC: We're good! Thanks so much! We can move to the other thread!]
