PHASE I [ Akihiko does not seem to be the least bit put off by the change in environment. Even with the traces of mud, plant matter, and grime sticking to nearly every part of him, he looks like he couldn’t be more at home. This isn’t so different from the swamps he had to endure before in his training, but not even the Louisiana bayou had creatures like this.
If anything, the promise of the unknown only motivates him further. When you happen to cross paths, Akihiko gives a friendly grin. ]
I don’t really see what the whole swamp theme has to do with “healthier and happier living”, but as far as a workout, it’s definitely getting the job done.
[ It’s not trivial to tread through thick mud, after all. ]
How’re you holding up?
[ Also, he’s definitely not wearing a shirt, so he’s got this beautiful label stamped across his butt. Which he’s yet to notice. ]
PHASE 2 [ It doesn’t take very much convincing for Akihiko to try one of those drinks. In fact, it’s such a welcome sight! Not only does he take one and drink it, but he offers one in your character’s direction.
He’s lucky enough that his own drink has no effect other than… feeling healthier. Figures. Perhaps your character isn’t so lucky. ]
Finally! What good is all that running around if you don’t get the chance to repair your muscles? Protein is essential for repairing strain and muscle tears, you know. The last thing you want in here is some sort of injury.
[ He pops open another bottle, and chances are, this one won’t go as smoothly. ]
PHASE 3 [ He almost doesn’t notice the small doll stuck in the mud. He only does so because its hair is a very familiar shade of red, but when he picks it up, it’s completely covered in mud. ]
Huh?
[ Confused, he begins to wipe away all the mud on it. He’s so transfixed on how odd this sight is… ]
Why does this doll look exactly like Mitsuru? What the hell is going on here?
PHASE 4 [ He should have expected trouble sooner or later. By the time the monster emerges from the depths, Akihiko is ready to face it head-on, but before he can land that first hit (or summon his persona for that matter), he’s being lifted up in the air.
Great. Now his best chance was in trying to summon Cesar. Could he even do that here? He may as well try--
Wait, that tentacle wrapped around his waist doesn’t seem intent on crushing him just yet, as he’d expect… He groans and struggles until he realizes that the monster is doing something quite odd. It’s more puzzling and alarming than just getting crushed or injured! ]
… W-what?! What sort of monster is this?!
[ It’s maneuvering him such that his ass is in the air. This is disturbing. Is he suddenly in some weird hentai?
His butt. It’s trying to read his butt. Given that his nutrition label seems to have deemed him entirely overabundant in the protein department, he’s doomed to become a prime target for dinner. A little help? ]
BONUS [ Akihiko will get his present in the form of a bacon tree. An unsettling concept. He’s not such a big fan, so you can bet he’ll share. ]
