[There's silence for a few moments on the other end aside from a few rustling sounds, but Ryoji's voice is eventually heard, whispering harshly. He's clearly panicked about something, though without video, what has him so worried remains unknown.]

Minako-chan? Are you there? I know you know Akihiko-sempai well, so d-do you know how to calm him down? I had no idea he could be so rough-

[A deep voice abruptly cuts him off.] C’mon, Ryoji. Quit messing around. After you get it down your throat the first time, you’ll get used to the taste!

[There's the sound of footsteps-not Ryoji's own, based on the way he gasps in surprise and... is he whimpering?-and then more shuffling as Ryoji attempts to end the transmission. He hopes Minako got the message... it was private, right?

Of course, Ryoji doesn't manage to stop recording, and the whole camp can now hear what he and the other person are up to.

Akihiko can be heard sighing.] Hey, don’t look at me like that… I’m not gonna chase you around the whole damn camp, you know.

[He pauses for a moment.] Okay, I got it. Get down on your knees, and open your mouth. You can close your eyes too, if you want. I’ll take care of the rest.

Um... o-okay... just be careful.

[There's some more rustling sounds and footsteps, and then moments later, the rustling sounds quicken as Ryoji moves about. Something is in his mouth, and he's making muffled pleas in amongst his choking. He swallows part of it down, and then makes a breathless plea.]

S-Sempai, please-

H-Hold still, Ryoji… Trust me, you need this… Keep telling yourself that, and don’t spit it out.

[Akihiko's words seem to stop Ryoji's struggling, and he only chokes for a moment before he can be heard swallowing and gasping for air. He coughs a few times, and his voice sounds shaky.]

That tasted awful...

[Akihiko exhales in relief, sounding pleased as he encourages the junior.] You did it. Good job. And don’t worry; you should stop feeling sore in a few hours. Just be sure to take a hot shower when you get back to your cabin.

[It's at this point that Iris finally feels sorry for the traumatized campers listening in and ends the message.]

((Akihiko and Ryoji will both be responding to any tags. Not to worry guys, they didn't actually do anything terrible.))

[Feel free to ask him, Aigis! :D Granted, he might die by the time solstice comes, but get everything out of him while he’s still around!]

We’re not allowed to leave the camp. There are monsters wandering around the borders, to make sure we stay in here. [And although Akihiko wants to challenge them, he isn’t stupid enough to try and get himself killed.] Anyway, it’s probably considered more of a luxury than a necessity, so the gods might not be so willing to grant it. I’ve been finding other ways to compensate.

[Oh, how sweet! Aigis is worried about Ryoji~]

[No. There's going to be no dying on her watch B| Everyone's going to live damnit.

Monsters. Honestly and under normal conditions, she'd be all for taking them on. But without their Personas, it might be suicide.]

It would be a luxury in most people's eyes. [Le sigh. At least they have a roof over their heads and food, but even then, what happens if someone comes in with a medical condition?]

No one has challenged these monsters have they?

[Another optimist in the making! Akihiko needs to keep spreading his influence…

Yeah, don’t do it, Aigis. Mitsuru won’t have to execute you for being reckless – the monsters will simply eat you, and nobody wants that!]

Apparently, other people in camp have fought against them before. They can only be killed with certain weapons that aren’t always accessible. You know I’d be all for taking them on, but I don’t wanna put anyone else at risk. [Although, if it turns out he’s slated to die, there’s no need to hold back.]
