Who: The Garden and you!
Where: Everywhere!
When: June 27 - July 3
Rating: PG maybe
Summary: The Garden is making friends!
The Story:
There is a thread for each of the Garden NPCs, even those whose interactions can be hand-waved (just in case!). Their effects are also there, as a reminder.

Anyone can respond to any of the NPCs, even if you didn't sign up on the event announcement post. In the subject of the tag, indicate when during the event the interaction takes place, and where if possible. This will serve as a point of reference. Both prose and action-style tags are welcome!

If you want the interaction to go in a specific direction, you can always IM me at MadMadPhineas or PM this account!

Have fun! ♥

Souji nodded. "My Justice link."

He considered, remembering Naoki and the Hanged Man arcana. "What was Maiko like?"

[jivitadana]

Justice. That said a lot already about who Nanako was. Minato made another mental note and wish that he could meet her.

But Souji's question made him pause to think again. He fingered the ring, slowly spinning it around his finger so he could see all of it.

"She had to choose which parent to go with after their divorce."

[eatsyourscience]

Souji almost winced. "That's tough."

[jivitadana]

Minato nodded. "She chose her mother." At least she had a choice.

[eatsyourscience]

Souji was quiet for a moment, considering the comparison.

"My uncle wanted to make the world good for Nanako, but he didn't realize he had to be part of her life to do that." He added, "He's my Heirophant."

[jivitadana]

Minato glanced at the photo again. Had he known a little more about Souji's aunt, Minato could have somehow connected the loss both Hierophant Links had suffered. But he smiled a little to himself; Souji had been so close to the both of them.

"He knows that now, right?"

[eatsyourscience]

"Nanako helped him figure it out."

[jivitadana]

"You helped with that too?"

[eatsyourscience]

"I was a bridge. They're the ones who had to meet in the middle."

[jivitadana]

Minato nodded. "Isn't it usually like that?"

[eatsyourscience]

"Yeah. I just don't want to overplay my role."

[jivitadana]

"You won't. I know you won't and haven't."

[eatsyourscience]

"We both know it."

Souji looked down at the table and tea appeared in front of him. A cup appeared for Minato too, if he wanted some.

"We can inspire someone to change, but they have to do the changing themselves."

[jivitadana]

Minato nodded as thanks, taking this cup in both his hands, but also in agreement.

"... Can you tell me more about them?"

[eatsyourscience]

"Nanako and my uncle? What do you want to know?"

[jivitadana]

"What are they like?"

[eatsyourscience]

Souji considered, sipping his tea.

"Nanako is really mature, but there are still a lot of things she doesn't understand. My uncle is dedicated and he can be strict, but he'd just trying to look out for people. He's more reasonable than he seems most of the time."

[jivitadana]

Minato liked hearing about them. He could completely trust Souji's assessment of them.

"They don't know about you?" And the TV world?

[eatsyourscience]

"...It's hard to say."

[jivitadana]

"It's okay if they do though." Minato thought it might be. If it were all to save the world.

[eatsyourscience]

"Nanako was there, but she never told me if she remembered it or not. I admitted it to my uncle, but he didn't believe."

[jivitadana]

Not that Minato could blame either of them. "It's still okay though. You're you. You know what you've accomplished."

[eatsyourscience]

"It's the same for you."

[jivitadana]

Minato nodded. He wasn't sure if it was the same though.

"You think you'll tell them?"

[eatsyourscience]

He shook his head. "There's no reason to."
