[And Haru is off to the cafeteria! She will make sure that she walks over and is there in a timely manner. She will step in and start taking a look around to see if there was anyone else here.
It occurs to her that she doesn't have the best idea of what Venus may look like.]
[ venus may or may not be having the same realization right about now. thankfully, she's also fairly distinct in a crowd - what with the literal glow, and the many-eyed wings, and all.
she just... sort of stands in the middle of the mess hall?? she's clearly looking for someone, but she doesn't really know who, so she just- looks at the people in the room, hoping desperately one of them will introduce themselves?? please??? ]
[Well if Haru looks like she is looking for someone, and Venus also looks like she looking for someone. Well, Haru thinks that her answer here is to approach the person who looks like they are looking for someone.]
Venus-san?
[Please for the love of God be Venus and not some random stranger.]
[ it's... a bit weird, saying that before she's finished turning to face her head on. sorry, haru. three-sixty degree vision is fucking weird. ]
Hi! Sorry, I didn't even think about how- you know, we don't really know each other at all? Haha. [ keep the conversation flowing, venus, keep the conversation flowing- ] Um- you were at the town hall, right? I think I saw you!
I also saw you at the town meeting. There was a lot going on there, emotions were definitely running high. [And Haru definitely loudly expressed her thoughts about having any one person in control.]
Yeah! Yeah, it got... a little heated? Not too bad, but. A bunch of teens in a small space. You know.
[ in venus's experience, shoving a bunch of teenagers into cramped quarters was a good way to get a food fight. or a demonic uprising. depended on the day, really. still, she remembers haru, and she remembers her thoughts on the matter, so she says with relief: ]
Honestly, I'm just sort of glad nobody really- you know, went for it? Taking control, I mean. It's a lot nicer like this.
It could have been a lot worse for what it was. The adults didn't seem to raise too much of a fight against the rest of us.
[Haru is in that mindset of keeping anyone, especially a power hungry adult...right out of power.]
I am also glad for that. I don't think it would have been beneficial to any of us. It would have been an ugly fight for power. We need to work together, and nothing else.
[Which isn't saying that someone who ISN'T an adult couldn't do the same thing, but Haru has the most experience with adults who do that.]
I believe that doing things that are mutually agreed on is the way to go about things. Though... that leaves a lot of room for debating on something that everyone can agree on. Doesn't it?
Then that's the worst time to try and do something? I mean, no matter what you choose, half of the people are going to hate it, right? Just because it's half of a group instead of one person doesn't make it any less shitty.
[ she's weirdly matter-of-fact about it all. in fact, when haru apologizes, she laughs and shakes her head. ]
No, don't worry! I don't mind at all. Honestly, I'm just sorry if I say something dumb? People get angry at me for that kind of thing a lot. Haha.
People say that a lot too. [ but she's smiling a bit, behind her hand. ] I believe you, though. You just seem... nice? Patient, I guess.
[ it's only partially a lie. haru definitely seems like that to her. but venus doesn't mention the other vibe she's getting - like there's something haru would get angry over, and like there'd be no going back if she found it.
so she just doesn't look, and she doesn't ask about it. problem solved, right? ]
I like to think I've learned more than my fair share of patience in life. I try my best to remain calm. Being hot-headed doesn't get anyone anywhere.
[Though, Venus wouldn't be wrong about her feeling. Haru is one of those girls that it takes a lot to piss her off, but when you do... there's no holding back.
Problem solved if Venus never makes her angry. Not that Haru thinks she will!]
I guess not? Sometimes being calm doesn't really help either, though. But it's better than just being... angry all the time, at least. You know?
[ she's definitely working on that part, haru. don't you worry about that. ]
...I hope it's not weird to say, but- it makes sense you're working with the plants. [ it comes out blunt, and a bit off-kilter, just like half the things she tries to say. but she's not entirely ashamed of it. ] It just sort of makes sense for you? Like- you remind me of rain, I guess.
[ peaceful, and nourishing, with a certain beauty to it. and a bit of melancholy, too. ]
[She nods, she knows. Maybe a calm demeanor isn't helpful in all situations. But most, right? Most require a head not run by an immediate and emotional response.]
It's not weird. Rain is the most important to plant growth in some cases. They depend on it. [And some people? They depend on her. Even if she has a touch of melancholy, she would never let it get in the way of her friends.]
I wonder what Venus-san reminds me of... something warm, I think.
Maybe one of the stars. [ she says it casually enough, quickly enough, that she must have thought about it before. (or been told it by neptune or jupiter. definitely more along those lines.) ] Did you know that's one of the names for the devil? Lucifer. The morning star.
[ whether lucifer's a devil or all devils, she doesn't really know. maybe it doesn't matter. for now, it's something she's comfortable with. ]
[She can agree with her. A little more than she realizes. One has to really abandon everything to be a Persona user too, she thinks. Abandon you morals, let out your rebellious side.]
Mm, it is! Would you like to go see it, Venus-san?

I will let you make the choice.

Date: 2018-06-10 06:50 am (UTC)let's say the cafeteria then?
