I'm pretty sure I pulled that off somewhere in Mementos.
[Akira replies blandly. listen, blowing up a Shadow with a well-placed Agidyne totally counts]
[but whatever (purposefully exaggerated) dubiousness Akira was displaying evaporates pretty quickly as the formerly unconscious android stirs. he gives Ryuji a thumbs up, a silent understanding that he'll continue to boot the rest of the bots up while Akira practices his bedside manner. but before he gets on that--]
It's called "max charm." [aha] And I wouldn't underestimate yours.
[It's long after the fact that he dropped console into the equation that he could've worked a video game pun into all of this, but it's too late to join the party at this point. Kind of like when a waiter comes by and says "enjoy your food!" and you respond "yeah! you too!" - the timing doesn't fit, and Ryuji just continues on his way to continue starting these dudes up. Smiling, because he thinks? He was just called charming and that's a pretty disarming thing to say in general.]
Could ya turn it down a few notches? It's super effective against electric users like me.
[That doesn't even make any sense!!!
But here comes a shop filled with androids starting to come to, and Ryuji is still busy working on the rest. It must be weird to wake up to a pair of idiotic humans bantering back and forth about how charming each other are, but, to be fair... these two have definitely dealt with weirder. They can suck it up.]
[he absolutely was just called charming, and Akira won't take it back!1]
So your true weakness has been "max charm" the whole time? And here I thought it was Garu skills.
[flashes Ryuji a cheeky smile, and while he'd continue the banter, the android is awake now, so. . . he's going to gently hold a hand out to the Struxta resident and ask in a quiet voice, are you okay? he'll come back to you after you're done booting up the rest of them, best friend]
