From: Minako
Date: May 1st

Um.. hey!

[ Although Minako smiles, there's something a bit muted about her. If not just for the fact that the volume of her voice currently isn't rupturing your eardrums right away with the greeting. ]

I thought I should let everyone know, since a lot of people know her.. But it's probably going to be difficult to reach Zelda for a while. Because she's asleep! And, you know, not just "doesn't want to get up in the morning" asleep. More like.. "sudden spring hibernation" sleep? Which is something that.. sometimes happens, I guess!

[ It's fine. This is fine. It's fine! See, she's smiling. Totally cool. ]

I guess.. until she wakes up, I'm going to try and take care of Metis temple affairs. [ Sure, Natsuru is there too, but Minako is the Exemplar! Not to mention Minako does have a natural leader sense - despite her lack of memories - and a huge sense of responsibility. It comes natural to try and take the whole world on her shoulders if needed. ] So if you need anything.. just let me know instead!

.. yeah, that's all. Thanks for listening, everyone!

[ A nap? Some company? For her self-confidence to not be fake or superficial for once so she can feel like she's actually capable of handling this?

Nope, she's fine. Totally fine. ]

I doubt it's going to be super overwhelming, Zelda's temple's size is nothing compared to what you seem to be used to at Ebisu's! [ Yes, she's totally skirting around what Ginia is actually asking. ] So I doubt I'll need anything.

[unlucky7]

I'm not talking about temple duties or handling prayers. I'm not even talking about taking care of Zelda because you'll likely get lots of offers there.

[Which is why she isn't personally offering. Not that she doesn't care or isn't worried when someone else drops into a deep sleep (even if it does happen), but there are plenty way closer that are going to help.

Which is why she'll focus on Minako instead.]

I know people falling asleep is a thing that just happens in our generation with no ill-side effects, but it doesn't make it any less concerning. Are you okay? Are you sure you don't need anything?

[reloves]

[ This time it's more difficult to just avoid answering when Ginia asks it so directly. Suddenly Minako feels kind of glad that she switched over to text, since it'd be much more difficult if she had to manage her facial expression right now too.

At least this way she can still kind of downplay it. ]

It'll be alright.. It's just like you're saying, right? It's just something that happens with new gods sometimes. They've all woken up eventually, so she'll wake up too. I want to take care of her until then.

[unlucky7]

[Ginia doesn't buy it. Mostly because she knows if Ebisu or Chris was to fall into a sudden coma, she'd be worrying like hell. Even if it's A Thing That Happens, it doesn't make it any less scary.]

I know this great bento place on the Near Shore that's also by a bakery with some of the best cakes. I'll drop off some food for you later today, okay?

[reloves]

[ Turning down food is a lot harder. If not just because Minako both can't cook and doesn't want to leave Zelda alone to go get some food.

But on the other hand, don't think she forgot about this part, Ginia-- ]

Are you sure? You said before that you were so busy! I don't want to make things even more busy for you.

[unlucky7]

It's on the way back from a prayer I'm working on and I already have requests from my coworker to pick up a few things from both places anyway. Perfectly fine, promise!

What kind of food do you like? Or dislike?

[reloves]

Thank you then..

[ It's a little different than how she would type with her usual cheer, but it's not just out of worry. Honestly, she is genuinely touched, if not at least just a bit, that Ginia would do this much for her. ]

I'm not super picky. I really like curry, but anything is fine as long as there's no mushrooms in it.

[unlucky7]

[Ginia's returning the favor for what Minako's done for her, but taking care of each other is what they do around here.]

Curry good, no mushrooms, got it. Do you know what anyone else would like?

[She remembers Zelda had a soulless shinki, but there might be other named shinki too.]

[reloves]

Natsuru? She's probably fine with anything.

[ Partially since Minako doesn't want to make Ginia run all over the place, and partially since she knows Natsuru seems even less picky than her most of the time. Especially at a time like this. ]

She's really sweet. Have you met her before?

[unlucky7]

[Natsuru... it's not a name she's familiar with though maybe they've met or seen each other without knowing.]

I don't think so, but maybe I've seen her around. What does she look like?

[reloves]

She has blue hair. [ Okay, maybe that doesn't super stand out in a place with a lot of people with anime hair, but shh, it's the thought that counts. ] She usually wears it up. And aside from that.. um.. she's cute?

[ A very specific description at the end there, Minako, good job. ]

[unlucky7]

That's an identical description to my friend, Tsubasa.

Though I guess Tsubasa has a ponytail and the rest of her hair is down.

[It's an impressive amount of hair. But while the description may match Tsubasa, there still aren't that many blue haired girls around.]

Oh! Does she perform with Hibiki's group?

[reloves]

[ Incidentally Minako does know Tsubasa as well. Which is why she's now realising that description does fit both of them, to the point where she's not even sure how to describe the difference between them.

Thankfully Ginia seems to figure it out before she has to wreck her brains over it. ]

Right, maybe I should've started with that. [ Since Hibiki is a pretty prominent presence here, so her group is as well just by proximity. ] That's her, yes. Isn't she really good?

[unlucky7]

She's great! All of them are. I think it's great Hibiki has brought so many performers together. I know not everyone likes Hibiki, but I've always enjoyed her shows.

[reloves]

People who don't like her probably just never gave her a real chance.. Maybe she's a little overwhelming for some people, but her presence is so fun and bright. Maybe those people just don't like having fun.

[ It's not overly defensive of Hibiki or anything though. Minako wouldn't have the energy to attempt to do that right now anyway, nor the desire for dramatics. ]

[unlucky7]

I can think of a few that fall in the "no fun" category. But to each their own. Not everyone has to be liked by everyone.

I need to run to work. Promise to come by later with food. You'll probably get a lot of food offers so I'll try to get things you can freeze or refrigerate for awhile.

[reloves]

Thanks.. It's appreciated.

[ Especially since the temptation to just eat everything would be way too big if it was all fresh food, especially with her just needing some distractions. Having some stuff she can keep for later - because who knows how long Zelda will sleep - is much better. ]

I'll see you later then. Take your time.
