[But he's curious about her experiences!]

A fuuma shuriken, to be precise. It's a very large one, able to be used as a personal weapon or even shield as well as a devastating throwing weapon.

My god's kind of bad with it, I'm sorry to say...

[reloves]

Well, I guess it is a very specific weapon.. Ninja use those, right? [ That's at least part of Minako's general knowledge. Thanks, TV. ]

If your god isn't one, then I'm sure they'd have to learn how to use you first! But I'm sure it'll get better and better with time!

[onehandsomeslickninja]

We sure do! So I suppose it's only fitting that I take the shape of one.

Going off that theme, though -- as common as weapons are, I can't imagine you becoming one. [He doesn't suspect even in the slightest what truths lurk in her.] I'm guessing... a painting or something similar, and your power is to be so beautiful and vivacious it enthralls all who see it. (Of course, what your power *as a shinki* is, I couldn't guess!)

[Has he mentioned lately how much he enjoys knowing someone who actually likes the over-the-top flirting?]

[reloves]

[ Oh, if only he knew... Then again, it's not like Minako herself has any idea of what her life really was like before dying. ]

You flatterer! [ She's totally enjoying it though. Don't ever make it stop. ] You're right that I don't turn into a weapon. Or.. well, I guess you could use it as one? But it's not supposed to be!

[ Only Minako would think of just using a microphone to smash monsters' heads in. ]

To give you a hint, it has to do with a beautiful part of me that aren't my criminally good looks for once!

[onehandsomeslickninja]

[You're texting a man who once threw a spoon as his ultimate attack, Minako. You're good.]

It must be your scintillating personality! [He honestly likes it! Really!] But I didn't notice a second sun, so that's my first guess gone.

[reloves]

I wouldn't even doubt a guy with eyes as good as yours would miss a second sun up in the sky! [ His eyes being good since he recognizes her beauty, of course.. ]

But it seems this place recognized my beautiful singing voice! So it makes me change into a microphone!

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Oh, well, I have yet to hear your singing voice, so that would have been hard for me to guess. (Which we should fix, by the way!)

[While she's responding, he'll be looking up 'microphone' on the search thingy his phone has.]

[reloves]

Are you trying to say that it's hard to tell that a beautiful, wonderful girl like me would have a gorgeous voice as well?

[ She's even dramatically puppy-eyeing out of instinct, even though he obviously can't see it since it's over text. But text can't stop Minako's flair for the dramatic!! ]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

[An excellent strike, but a conventional one. Edge knows how to handle this.]

It's the opposite problem! A beautiful, wonderful girl like you has so many amazing qualities that trying to guess which specific one you meant is like picking a singular diamond out of a whole shining pile of them.

[reloves]

[ Much better. ]

Wow.. You always know what to say, don't you? It's almost like you're some sort of professional! [ Like going to one of those butler cafes, but not having to go there in the first place. And not having to pay. ] If only all guys were more like you...

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Hey, hey, let's not wish that! I'd have to fight for your attention then. Which I sure would but I like it this way!

[A slight pause and then a second message.]

not to spoil this really fun thing we've got going but I have to check. You're really doing okay? This place can be hell so I want to be sure. or help if you need it.

[reloves]

Yeah, I'm totally fine! I promise. [ Not.. that Minako wouldn't keep it to herself if she wasn't doing fine, since that's just how she's wired. But at least this time she's being entirely truthful. ]

A lot of people actually said some pretty scary stuff about this place, just like how you're calling it hell now.. but honestly, I don't think it's all that bad. It's only a little weird to not remember anything from before.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

I have my reasons, yeah.

[Dead children forced to fight. Innocents of all stripes passed away and serving as weapons. Even Minako herself is a tragedy if he lets himself think about it: how could such a pretty and vivacious girl have died?]

But that's not cheery stuff, so let's set it aside and turn to more important matters. For example: how'd you like to go out some evening?

[reloves]

[ Now this is exactly Minako's style. Brushing away the bad things for a later time and just focusing on the positive. Especially when it's this of all things. ]

Now that's an offer that's difficult to refuse! Did you have anywhere specific to go in mind? Or do you want it to be a surprise?

[onehandsomeslickninja]

There's a whole lot to do if we just head down to the Far Shore. Walk around, see the sights, maybe grab a bite to eat. No need to overplan for a first date, right?

[reloves]

Weeeell, I do guess that I haven't been able to see much of this place yet.. And maybe a handsome guy showing me the fun places is exactly what I'd need, huh?

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Or discovering the fun places with you. I can't promise I'm an expert, but I think we can't fail to find fun and adventure if our minds are open and the company is good. And it will be!

[reloves]

I was never doubting that last part!

[ He's been great at the whole flattery deal so far, anyway, and that's sure something Minako loves soaking up. Like a flattery sponge. ]

So.. sure! You can be my official tour-guide-who-is-still-discovering-things-himself-as-well! Now that's the fun kind of tour guide!

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Then it's a date! I hear tell we're going to go on a trip soon, so if I don't see you before then, we'll definitely aim for soon after?

[reloves]

Soon after sounds great! I promise I won't go around by myself discovering fun places without you~~

[onehandsomeslickninja]

I intend the places we discover together to be memories so bright they forever outshine all else in your mind.
