WHO: Minato and youuuu
WHERE: The town, the woods, everywhere in between
WHEN: June 3 - June 10
WHAT: Lack of sleep does some unfortunate things to people, it really does. ie punishments really, really suck
WARNINGS: A lot of this is just very, very dumb
June 3/4
[At first, he's just miserable. A night or two without sleep is doable, but really, really awful, and so Minato can be found mostly wandering, restless, especially late at night. Which is very, very unusual for him (usually he'd be asleep by now), but don't mind him as he stalks about the town with his hands shoved deeply into his pockets, occasionally stopping to yawn massively and lean against a wall.
He always ends up standing back up pretty promptly, though, no matter how sleepy he looks.
Weird.
Or he might come visit at some obscene hour of the morning if he thinks your character will be awake, almost desperate to talk to someone to get his mind off of this. He will definitely knock on doors at all hours of the night if he thinks your character would sincerely be awake at that time of night.
Please help him.]
June 5/6
[It gets much, much worse. Minato's wanderings are almost desperate now; lying down does nothing, leaning against things does nothing, he cannot sleep no matter what he does and it's starting to take its toll. He's definitely stumbling, staggering occasionally as if drunk, and if you try to stop him he may not even process that you're calling out to him.
Hm.
Worrisome.
It probably comes to a worrisome head when he's crossing one of the bridges in Bluo, feet dragging--and then sways, and topples right off the side, blacking out for a brief moment. Bye, Minato.]
June 8
[At this point he probably shouldn't be outside but he's here anyway, and he seems to be...talking to a tree? He's trying, but he clearly thinks it's someone he knows, and while his voice is low and slurred, he is trying to legitimately have a conversation with this tree.
It's probably a good thing he stopped to talk to the tree instead of wandering into the woods in this state? Maybe you should call out to him...
But he's definitely hallucinating, and only seems to notice if he's not interrupted when he stumbles, and knocks his head against said tree, startling back to himself abruptly with both hands clasped to his forehead.
And then he thumps his forehead against the tree again, this time purposefully and with plain aggravation.]

[ what an odd question.
when he first arrived here, he never thought the answer would be yes. he was stuck in a new place all over again, with a mission he could no longer complete, and no way of making himself heard by anyone.
but he’s learned the town. he’s survived the trials. the people here actively strive to understand him, and it’s something he doesn’t really understand at all—even the people who know what he’s done don’t seem to mind that he destroyed the world.
dextera is quiet for a long time, considering that question. he doesn’t know why it’s struck him so oddly, but anything less than honesty won’t come to mind—minato has coaxed it out of him, a moment of unfettered positivity. he isn’t smiling, but maybe that’s just a sign of how much he means it. he’s surprising even himself, to acknowledge how happy he’s become.
finally, he nods, and squeezes minato’s hand. ]
no subject
It feels familiar, nostalgic in the most pleasant of ways, and it makes him grateful to be able to be here.
Especially...when Dextera nods, and squeezes his hand just like that, and Minato's sure... that it's sincere.
He relaxes a little, and hums softly to himself, a contemplative noise. Dextera's happy here. There are people around him, and people taking care of him, more so than just Minato himself. He has his pets, and his home, and a blue sky and the stars.
(This place... it has its worth, doesn't it? He's starting to think this town isn't good or evil... it just is, and what they make of it is up to them themselves.)]
... Good. [Finally, that's what he sighs out, smiling a little to himself.]
I think you deserve happiness. I'm glad you can have some of it here.
no subject
maybe there’s no easy answer to that. ]
…
[ he exhales, softly, and writes smoothly on minato’s palm. ]
Later. Let’s talk.
[ when minato feels better… dextera would like to learn more about him. ]
no subject
Promises of another day today. Talking about things that make people happy. Learning more about the people around him.
It's funny, how some things put everything into stark focus--how the month of January (and then February, in its own way) made him realize just how much he enjoys the act of just talking to people.
So he smiles a little, and nods.]
I'd like that.
[A beat--and he sighs, adding softly:]
You don't have to stay if you don't want to... I think I'm going to just stay here for a bit.
[But... he's grateful for Dextera's company too, right now.]
no subject
dextera pats his hand, a silent comfort. he’ll stay, too, even if all they do is sit together. ]
You need help.
[ there’s no way to make that sound polite, but dextera would feel terribly guilty to leave minato in this state for long. if nothing else, maybe he can walk minato back to his house once he feels up to it. ]
no subject
Minato blinks--and then snorts softly to himself. Can't deny it, but wow, Dextera....]
I guess that's true... thanks, then. For sticking with me...
[Even though he knows he is not particularly good company right now.]
no subject
…friends.
[ just a reminder… in case minato ever forgets. ]
no subject
Or maybe he would?
It's not really something that ever hurts to be reminded of. So Minato sighs quietly, a sound that's more content than frustrated like it was before, and nods.]
... Right. Because we're friends.
[And that's...good enough for him. So long as Dextera's willing to sit with him like this, maybe it's not so bad--at least if nothing else, it's peaceful.
And that helps.]
