Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Okay first of all wally doesn't know what he's talking about but second of all the Counselor sounds like a totally ominous supervillain name. Like I'm gonna go and talk people to death. I like it

But what do you mean it's your Arcana?

[dormition]

I can picture it. Ironic names are good for supervillains, too.

Well, Persona all belong to one of the Major Arcana. It usually has a connection to the user's personality. Since I switch Persona, mine changes, but at the moment I'm Judgement. [Since that's Messiah's Arcana and Minato really counts that as 'his' Persona in the same way Orpheus had been his. Not a borrowed one, but truly indicative of his personality.

There's a moment where he wasn't planning on explaining the other use of Arcana, and then he realizes Jaime already knows about Elizabeth so he might as well. He's not ready to talk about social links, but, nonplussed, he adds,] Everyone has an Arcana, even if they don't have a Persona. I can usually sense it.

[khajidont]

Oh. So you get gods and arcana? I don't know much about either.

Judgement sounds a little ominous though. Are they all like that?

[dormition]

I didn't either until it started happening to me. They're pretty informative, though.

No, but Judgement isn't really that ominous. It's about realizing your true calling and finding absolution... being reborn. Ken-kun is Justice-- which isn't just justice, but responsibility, decisions, and cause and effect.

[khajidont]

Oh. Well when you put it that way it makes sense. That sounds nice.

And there's really one to describe EVERYONE? It sounds like it'd be kinda general. Like horoscopes or something

[He may sound skeptical, but he's not. He's just intrigued.]

It must help you understand people better

[dormition]

I don't need it so much anymore, but it used to help me a lot. It's a nice shortcut.

Would you like to know what yours is?

[khajidont]

[...WHAT IF IT'S SOMETHING UNFLATTERING.]

Sure. Can you tell me what it means too though? I think you'll be better at explaining it than if I just googled it

[dormition]

[It's the most uncomplicated, positive card in the desk, Jaime.]

The Sun. Success, positivity, confidence, and enlightenment. One of the most straight-forward cards, the Sun indicates a return to the basic nature of joy without elaborate scheming to bring it about. When under a lot of pressure, you might reverse and become depressed and withdrawn.

[khajidont]

[...oh.]

Are they all this nice? I mean that all sounds really nice

[He's not self aware enough to trust that it's all true, but yeah, it's pretty on the nose.]

But thank you

[HE FEELS LIKE HE GOT A COMPLIMENT]

[dormition]

The Sun is the most positive card in the deck. [Never let it be said Minato doesn't say exactly what he's thinking.]

The rest aren't this nice but it's rare for any of them to be outright bad. People aren't, so tarot wouldn't be. You're welcome, but it's not anything I did. It's just you.

[khajidont]

Maybe I'll have to read up on it. Do you usually tell people what tarot they are?

[dormition]

You're the first person.

[khajidont]

Why? Cause it's weird for people back home or what?

[dormition]

They don't know about the Velvet Room. The things with Elizabeth, I mean. It would be awkward to explain.

[But he'd told Jaime. Which means something, although Minato isn't self-analytical enough to understand it.]

[khajidont]

I can see why. But you've told them a little about it now right? Now that she's here I mean?

[dormition]

I said she has the Persona Compendium and that she would give me requests.

[khajidont]

And nobody had any more questions after that?

What am I saying. Of course they didn't have any other questions.

[dormition]

I can't remember if I told anyone that aside from Akihiko-senpai, and that was when Shinjiro-senpai was missing... He was distracted.

[Minato's stellar communication failures involve not only content, but timing.]

[khajidont]

Geez no wonder! You probably could have picked a better time to talk about it

[dormition]

It wasn't intentional. Shinjiro-san knows she has the Compendium, too. But I think that's it. There isn't any point in complicating things.

[khajidont]

Not unless they actually want to know I guess. Now that they know about one thing if they actually want to know more they can ask

[...but unlike Jaime, they don't chase after every little thing like a dog with a bone.]

[dormition]

If they realize there's something to ask about... It's easier if they don't know.

[khajidont]

For you or for them?

[dormition]

I don't think my fate would be easier for them to accept if they understood it better. It might be harder.

[khajidont]

You're probably not wrong.

It's up to you but since I've been here I've kept a lot of secrets that people say is for everyone else's own good. Maybe they're right some of the time since we can't do much about a lot of them but they're wrong some of the time too. From what I've seen people mostly want to know the truth even if it's hard.
