text; when the moon's reaching stars

[Kotone is not a girl used to asking for help. If it's something she can't do on her own, she usually doesn't. But with recent events in town and outside of town, not to mention the passings of the one-year anniversaries of some difficult days from back home, it's been hard to muster her usual good cheer and can-do attitude.]

Hi, everyone! It's Kotone. You might know me from working at Lupin recently. :D

I know we're all really busy, but I wanted to ask if anybody had time to help me rebuild the club building. It's the one that looked like a flat-roofed warehouse on the edge of town? It got destroyed cause of the corruption.

Oh, I'm also still looking for people to help out on Astralin-san's farm, too! Especially with the crops and animals.

[A pause, and then she adds,]

I'd really like to start the cooking and sewing clubs again. :) And if other people had things they wanted to do like club activities, it would be good to have a space for it! I think it's really important to have some normal things to do with all the crazy stuff going on.

[There's not much she feels she can do with everything happening between Ketsora and Rumpitur, but she can try to do something to help the Chosen feel more closely tied together.]

[It takes her a little while to reply, because she honestly never thought of it like that. It just seems so natural to give everything of herself to other people, because either she can learn something from them, or help them with something -- it doesn't really occur to her that she can get something back from them. Except maybe a super-powerful Persona.]

I remember somebody saying it was weird that I did that. :)

I dunno why I didn't expect it. Maybe it's cause I've never really asked before.

Will you do cooking club with me if we can get everything rebuilt?

It's weird when you do it because you do it to strangers.

[And he'd tell her to 'ask more, then'-- but it seems like she's already picking up on that. So he can't exactly say no, right?]

You signed me up, didn't you? Yeah, I'll show every so often. Maybe we can teach your guy to use something other than a fork, too.

:T

[They weren't strangers from her perspective, though!! Mean to her.]

Hehe, it's kind of funny though, right? When I make rice for us, he always uses a fork. :D

[She thinks it's cute... quirk of having an American boyfriend... Anyway she has no problem throwing Scott under the bus if it means luring Shinji around more often.]
