I don't think being dropped into a lake is very much of a welcome.
[The speaker is currently soaked to the bone, apparently not having thought to go dry out before using the orb he's gotten. Thankfully, the clip in his hair is keeping most of it out of his face, drowned rat look or not, and his dragonfly is making odd little melodic tones behind him.]
So, I took a look through the Guidebook... and it seems I'm here for a specific reason. A "fixing of a magical drain" or something like that? Does anyone else have any more information on that? It's kind of vague, and I generally mucked about with cards more than anything.
[While it's true in multiple forms, Chou carefully omits the fact they were magical cards.]
...Also, somewhere I could dry off and maybe get a change of clothes would be nice too. At least until mine dry out.

[...This means it's time to say who he is again, isn't it?] I guess you might know of me, then. I was a guest in 2009, and the early part of 2010. I died a month after fusing the Universe Arcana.
[Depending how much of their guests' stories the attendants share, Chou might know of him. Minato knows Elizabeth cared for him a great deal, after all, and Igor himself seemed to be pretty impressed with Minato's progress.]
[Action]
...Wait a minute. He remembers something he heard in passing, from Elizabeth, about a guest two before Azami. What was it...?]
The... Great Seal...?
[It's murmured quietly, Chou struggling to remember. Had that been it? For some reason, something in his mind was making it hard to grasp that memory, like it just slipped between his fingers each time.]
[Action]
Becoming the Great Seal took everything I had. I would've died earlier, but I had a promise to keep. [And he still broke it. Dammit. His one regret is not holding on a few minutes longer to keep that promise.]
[Action]
[He can't keep it in his mind. There's a scratching at the back of it as he tries to hold on, but it just slips through his fingers again. That lost memory, dancing out of reach each time...
It causes him to growl frustratedly, not really realizing it. He looks like he just totally zoned out there, mostly looking through Minato now.]
[Action]
... Chou-kun?
[Action]
...Should probably change the subject.] Hey. It's okay to be confused. But we still have more to cover - you can ask me whatever you want later. [He looks at Naoto. He covered the Velvet Room and Universe stuff, can you help him out with Seito?]
[Action]
[Naoto's voice brings him out of the daze and the memory slips away completely. What were they talking about again?
...the familiar address makes him smile a little, though.]
Sorry, Naoto-kun. I'm fine, thank you. [A nod at Minato, then.] Ah, I think I still have some Skill Cards for later as well. If you want them.
[Action]
... The short version is that we both believe it's a bad idea to trust him.
[Action]
[Action]
[He's not entirely sure what the problem is, but he's not about to distrust Naoto and his new friend. Even so, he's curious now.]
If it's something... not human, I might be able to sense if it I'm near him.
[Action]
When I talked to him, he addressed me as "Shirogane-san"... [She frowns faintly.] That's not all, but... Arisato-san might do better at explaining.
[Action]
[A sigh.] He's very subtle about everything. Dammit, I bet he saw all of that, though. [Seito's going to know for sure Minato's involved with the Arcana now.]
[Action]
[The idea of revealing them to an enemy... it's enough to make Chou look genuinely ashamed. He hadn't meant to, really! It was just...]
[Action]
... That being said, remain cautious around him, and keep your guard up. We don't know what he's capable of.
[Action]
He's a good actor, too. I can't get a bead on his arcana.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
All right. You're never wrong, Naoto-kun, and if you trust Minato-kun, I will too. Besides... he's a Fool! That's who I'm supposed to help.
