[ thanatos lashes out with his sword towards barbarus, and minako can feel her strength dip from the Brave Blade usage as she lines up another shot, bracing her grip this time to squeeze off two bullets towards the target's wings. ]
Are you one of Souji-san's companions? Or Joker's? [ cheerily making conversation in all of this. ]
[Better form, but could still use improvement. Barbarus attention seems divided, confusedly attempting to attack Thanatos before he can disappear.]
[She still doesn't like doing this, but sighs.]
Souji-senpai's... [And the card is before her and she sends her next bullet through it so both slug and Yamato-Sumeragi further damage Barbarus's wings. He may not feel them, but they're not going to support his flight much longer.]
[ she decides to press the advantage. with another roar, thanatos takes the hit and blasts barbarus's wing with another bufudyne at close range, before disappearing.
barbarus's flight becomes much more sluggish, his wings' movement now erratic at best. he's coming down--which just leaves janus. ]
Let's--we'll pick this up when this is done!
[ her tone is apologetic, almost, like "yeah i know i started the conversation" ]
[Yamato could normally disappear, but Naoto can spare a little Chroma to keep them around, darting from Barbarus as Thanatos attacks. Coming back when he swings around, there's a Vorpal Blade coming back to severe one wing completely.]
[Eyes turning, she notices Janus and nods.]
Sure...
[Raising her gun, maybe Janus wants to consider coming without a fuss... Naoto's not going to miss that easily.]
[ and the boss is beaten! the cutscene plays. everyone rolls for loot or whatever!
minako stretches before holstering her evoker. and... well maybe she will hold on to that gun, emptying the chambers before putting it in her clutch bag. ]
So, uh... all this could've gone better, huh? [ it's said with kind of a sheepish laugh. ]
Right, no, of course! And I don't want to keep you, so--
I'm Minako Arisato. I'm--I used to lead SEES, if that means anything. [ who knows what kinds of connections mitsuru or the others have made. ] You can find me on the network.
[ she's dead, nyx is sealed, and she just saw naoto use a persona, so... secrets are for losers. ]
Yeah, but most people aren't Persona users, so... [ it felt like a decent shot in the dark. and it paid off, so! she exhales. doesn't want to try to find somewhere better, responds by saying she doesn't use the network-- ] You know, if you don't want to talk to me, you can just say so.
... It's fine if you want to talk. However, you could've honestly chosen a better time to begin a conversation. I wouldn't say the midst of battle is appropriate.
[She has to admit that might not have been the best decision between bullets and a hulk.]
[ yeah, if the sheepish grimace and the way she's rubbing the back of her head is any indication, minako is inclined to agree with that assessment. ]
Hah, fair enough! Sorry about that, I got excited. Now probably isn't the best time or place, either... [ with a glance around to the uh. chaos. of everything, ] but I would really like to make proper introductions under better circumstances sometime, especially since you know about my team. If that sounds good to you?

Could've... it's more likely it would've been worse so I'll call this sting mild.

[They'd been in the middle of some weird conversation.]
I doubt anywhere in this vicinity will be suitable at this time.

Yes, that's acceptable. Let's allow the Moon Knights to do their job.
no subject
Yeah, let's. Now, the way out was... [ she got a little turned around during the fighting, so she takes a second to mentally readjust. ]
no subject
[It looks like everyone managed to secure the exit.]
