A) So, Akira was warned about this Jeopardy place. Ghosts, freakishly popping into existence with the locals insisting it had always been there, and now a lake monster on top of it that had actually been SEEN. It's hard not to want to check it out, so it's good that there's the excuse of a swear-in to case the joint. Also, it's probably slightly safer if he's with a group of imPorts(??? citation needed).
But honestly who cares about that right now? Party bus.
Too bad the party bus is run by The Man and so an 18-year-old boy can't get his drink on. Legally, anyway. Not that that will stop him from trying, so Akira rolls up in a very (not) fashionable getup more suited for a tropical getaway than a lakeside hangout- a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts- and he sits at the bar, giving a friendly nod to the nearest adult-looking person, then to the bartender who has to exist because otherwise how would they stop underage drinking????
"How about a round on me?" This plan was foolproof. Who checks imPort IDs???
B) One way or another, Akira managed to get a little alcohol in him, and he's in a fairly pleasant mood. He's not MESSY DRUNK, but you know. He's at that stage of 'trying really hard not to look drunk', trying to take it easy as best he can, so he goes to check out that museum.
He hasn't even made it all the way through the museum, but he's definitely got a BELIEVE t-shirt on with a blurry UFO photo on it which he's haphazardly pulled over his Hawaiian shirt, and he's resisting every urge he has to rock back and forth on the balls of his feet while he goes through the exhibits. It takes a little while but he lands on one of the many pictures of 'bigfoot', along with a cast of a footprint of dubious origin.
"Man", he starts, pulling down his glasses and squinting at the exhibit. "I wonder if bigfoot is like... super real here. I mean, with the imPorts and the uh." He motions with a hand, like whoever he has trapped into a conversation should know what he means. "You know. So like, why not? But like, what would that even mean? Like for science? I know the uh 'missing link' thing but what kinda scientific significance does that even have? I mean whatever. A man-monkey. Cool. Call me when we find the chupacabra or like. Mothman."
C) Begrudingly, the time for games is over. Fooling around stops when Akira hears about the whole z-word thing, because of course he can't leave that to others in good conscience, no matter if there were plenty of powerful imPorts here, so he went to the resort for long enough to get sober- a cold shower, some food and water, and a change of clothes was enough to get him in the right space- so here he is at the lakeside, at least in warm clothing now so he's a little warmer than he was.
He REALLY doesn't want to swim though, so, lifting a hand he calls forth Satanael, a 13 foot tall, six winged devil that served as his Persona. "Hey, there are some living people in there that we need to be careful of, alright?" he says to the creature which doesn't respond but to lift up his over-sized gun and pointing it toward the water.
Akira runs out in front of it but like. He's just a teen he's not about to actually block anything. "No, no, you gotta go in there!" Just shooting at the water seems unsafe!!! But it seems like Satanael kinda agrees with Akira in that he also... doesn't want to get in that water. It's cold, alright?
