That seems to be the pattern around here, doesn't it? You get Sleepr one month, then some horrible shit happens, and then it's Sleepr and dumb "bonding" crap like this again.
[He hasn't really gotten much in the way of signatures yet, honestly, he doesn't know that many people -- and he's far from social butterfly enough to just waltz up to strangers and ask them persona questions.
For his own part, though, what's notable is he skips over #2 and #3 and signs #10 and #13 easily, though he lingers over #5, as though unsure. Technically, he did "sell" information to Strega, back then, even if to his own mind, the fact that SEES wanted to destroy the Dark Hour was fairly obvious and not exactly a secret. It's not as though he shared information on their Personas, battle strategies, or weaknesses ... but then, in a sense, didn't he betray Aki and Mitsuru in a more fundamental way? He'd ... promised to graduate with them, and let alone breaking that promise, he made his decision to die on his own and pushed them away, giving them no chance to stop him. No way to avoid the inevitable grief and misery.
He couldn't even make it a clean break, in the end. With a sigh, he adds a signature to that one, too, and hands the survey back to Akechi to trade back.]
[ In the returned form, Shinjiro will find 'someone who has killed more than ten people, someone who wants to leave this place, and someone who didn't drink their gold/blue/red potion' with a clear, legible signature. There was no hesitation. There's no reason to - not for him. He has lies ready to spew out, should another ask. It's all a silly misunderstanding forced by coercive magic, after all. All an innocuous mistake based on the soft heart of a teen detective.
The returned paper sits in his hand for a moment - curiosity overwhelming, but he can wait. He can play the part of a dutiful teenager trying to fulfil a request and nothing more. ]
You get used to it, not that it makes the situations any easier to swallow. There's very little that can sway this reality. We need to save our energy for the moments that matter. Though you're correct about the questions. They are odd and I can only wonder what the intent is given the more pointed ones.
[ And he takes the brief interlude to look and see what remains. To see where Aragaki is.
It's about what's not signed that's interesting. Someone who has never killed anyone. Noted. He has enough class to not bring it up. Not yet, at least. ]
I'm happy to see you have hesitation over drinking your potion. Far too few hold that opinion.
[More than ten people, huh? Akechi doesn't seem the type, hardly seems someone who could overpower a single person, really, but appearances only go so far. It's not as if he knows the other man well, after all. He doesn't ask, either; whatever is in his past is none of Shinjiro's business, really.]
Yeah, there's no point sweatin' the small stuff, 'round here. It's bad enough the place'll make you literally start coughin' up your private shit sooner or later, might as well go with the flow on the rest.
[He sighs a little tiredly, though, at the mention of intent. At this point? He doesn't believe anything that happens is especially innocent, in terms of intent, though he still can't begin to guess what the actual endgame is here.]
Almost seems like the more casual ones're meant to get our guard down before hitting us with the others, huh?
[He rolls a shoulder in a shrug.]
But yeah, no, can't say I've been chomping at the bit to try a mystery liquid that just said "drink me" with no explanation.
[Everyone says there's no harm or danger to it, and he's heard it from enough people who've been here a while to believe it, but -- well. Power had been what had ruined his life in the first place; having it taken away from him was nothing short of a relief. And while his feelings on the matter are more complicated now, after all the nonsense with the dopplegangers and violent changelings? He's far from eager to have more power he doesn't understand.
[ The events are diverse and his own experiences mirror it. Shinjiro's right to say such things. He'll have more than enough evidence of it under his belt soon.
Akechi folds the paper into small squares and slides it into his pocket. Everything noted, the issues revealed between them ignored. He's fine to continue the act. There's nothing wrong with either sheet. Nothing to talk about it. It's a matter he can exploit in the future, if necessary. ]
This won't be the last time you'll faced with such an obvious ploy, though much like the event we're currently experiencing, it will feel like you have little choice. It's best to exercise your autonomy while you can.
[What had Laserhawk said, early on? The choice to be finished with everything was already taken from Shinjiro, like Laserhawk's choices had been. Now all that were left were to make new ones about how to proceed.
Akechi puts away his paper and Shinjiro does the same with his own with a nod, appreciative. They probably won't always be able to keep their personal business their own like this, but it's as the other young man says -- they might as well take advantage of it while they can.]
It's obnoxious, but you gotta make do, I guess. ...Thanks for the signatures. See ya 'round, Akechi.

Some of these questions are weird as hell.
