P5 Voicetest; Makoto Niijima, Ann Takamaki

1.) random scenario, take your pick!

2.) extreme fluff, for all of your marshmallow-y needs.

3.) The arcana are the means by which all is revealed-- or not, so wild card it up or just leave a blank comment with who you want in the subject and I'll work out something.

Okay, okay. You have my word, I won't say anything about the stairs or how heavy you are-- you've been putting on muscle, haven't you?

[ She thinks maybe Morgana had mentioned something about him and a treadmill, but that had been a while ago. But now that Akira's at least in a position where he can rest more easily, Ann can breathe a little more. ]

I've gotta up my game, then!

[jokered]

You could try out my workout routine.

[he jokes lightly, though he doesn't really expect ann to do anything like that. it's true though, that he's been putting on muscle; he's lean, but very toned as a result of their metaverse endeavors and his own personal workout.

he motions, slowly and vaguely towards the ceiling beams over the sofa and the work desk.]

Pull-ups. [among other things.]

[cakemyheart]

...

[ Ann sure is staring dubiously at the ceiling. ]

Actuaaaaaaally, maybe I'll just kind of improvise on that.

[jokered]

Ah. Maybe I should have left a piece of cake up there.

[he's joking, but it would probably be a good motivator, right?]

[cakemyheart]

... That'd be such a waste. Pass.

[ Leave it to their leader, still sassy while suffering. ]

[jokered]

[if he wasn't sassy, it would really be time to worry. he's clearly doing his best to give her reasons to worry less, even as he suffers.]

No? I thought it was a pretty good idea.

[cakemyheart]

You know what's a better idea? Getting some rest.

[ She doesn't say it as firmly as Makoto would have, but... well, she does still mean it. ]

[jokered]

I didn't know there was a situation where you'd think anything was better than cake.

[look at that masterful avoidance of the topic.]

[cakemyheart]

Please don't say it like I have a one-track mind. My friends are definitely more important.

[jokered]

Cake sounds pretty good right now, though.

[cakemyheart]

[ Ann is just going to give him a Look. A rather tired one. ]

[jokered]

...What.

[don't give him that look...]

[cakemyheart]

... I should let you rest. You've had a rough time.

[ Understatement. ]

[jokered]

It's okay.

[honestly, ann.]

I like it just fine this way. [even if he didn't really want her to catch on to his problems, being able to joke around a little and ignore them for a bit is nice. better than being alone and having time to stew over how mad the situation makes him, right?]

[cakemyheart]

You're honestly not just saying that so I won't worry?

[ ... because Shiho was also like that. Still, she can't say her two friends are completely the same, and she's grateful for that. ]

[jokered]

You're going to worry anyway, aren't you?

[he's onto you, ann.]

I'm saying it because it's true. [after a moment, he'll concede a little.] Makes it all feel more normal.

[cakemyheart]

Does it really help you?

[ Because if it does, then as long as he rests, Ann can talk to him like it's any other day. ]

[jokered]

It really helps me.

[honestly, ann.]

You gotta tell me about how people reacted to the news reports, anyway. [any distraction is a good distraction, so it's fine.]

[cakemyheart]

Honestly, from what I could tell... a lot of people were just disappointed that they didn't say who you were.

[ Well, people do love their gossip. ]

[jokered]

Ah, I could see why. The great Phantom Thieves' leader commits suicide, and they don't release an identity.

[he laughs a little.] Those shitty people got something right, at least. They'd complicate things for later if they went around announcing my name.

[cakemyheart]

It's going to be interesting enough when the public realizes they've been lied to.

[ Honestly, it's going to be great. ]

[jokered]

That's exactly why I couldn't die back there.

[akira, please. that's hardly the only reason.]

We're gonna make all of them eat crow.

[did you see what he did there.]
