Characters: Yuuto, and whoever wants to come bother the new arrival.
Setting: Starting in room 2-02, and then to the hallways.
Format: Either. I'm starting off with prose.
Summary: Yuuto goes exploring because like hell he's going to stay here.
Warnings: None. For now.

Voluntarily ending up in somewhere unfamiliar was pretty common for Yuuto. He had the means to travel anywhere-- and to any time. On the other hand, waking up somewhere unfamiliar with no recollection of how he ended up there was not. One thought ran through his mind-- had he finally used one too many Zeronos cards?

Regardless, here he was, on a bed, in a room, and right now he was reading one of the letters he received. His eyes widened at reading that his world had been destroyed, and he chose not to read any further. Instead he crumpled up the paper and threw it on the ground, and walked to the chest at the foot of his bed with a frown, hoping that it contained something useful.

Luckily, it did.

A quick change of clothes later, Yuuto was ready to head out and get answers... or to possibly force his way out. Whichever came first.

Yuuto wasn't going to elaborate on that. Airi wasn't a subject he felt all that comfortable speaking openly about. Everything about her... and him... was just it was a mess that really did need sorting out, regardless of any feelings either of them may have about each other.

And it certainly wasn't going to be something he was going to dwell on at the moment. Getting out of here was his priority.

"The Oni?" he asks, a bit incredulously, too. He dwells on the thought for a moment, remembering that ordeal from when he was a boy. It had been the first time he met Deneb... and Toki. For a split second, the memory itself brings the smallest of smiles to his face... but it doesn't last very long.

Yuuto tries to completely recall the incident. Time had been screwed with (again), and it had caused him to disappear... And then a light bulb went off in Yuuto's head.

Deneb didn't know yet.

"Did you meet a little boy yet, by any chance?"

Worry not, Yuuto - despite Deneb's own concerns about yourself and Airi, he knows not to press the issue.

Usually.

"Ah, yes!" Deneb's walking now, going to find Yuuto. "Yuu-kun - he'd just talked his way into riding along with us despite Owner's warnings."

"That so?" Yuuto is grinning now. He wonders for a minute, if he should just tell Deneb. For the moment, though, he decides against it. "Sometimes, the Owner's right."

Not that Yuuto would take that adventure back, but if the rest of them had known who that little boy was, everything would have gotten more complicated. Deneb probably wouldn't have made the contract with him, let alone actually let him come along.

"Sounds like the kid was a good talker, for the Owner to let him on the DenLiner, though."

"Mmhmm." Yuuto can't see it, but Deneb's giving a nod.

"He had a lot of enthusiasm! From what I've heard, he seems to have a soft spot for such things." A pause. "The good types of enthusiasm, that is."

"His name, the boy, what was it?"

Now he was just kind of stringing Deneb along, waiting to see how many hints he could drop before the Imagin would catch on. Yuuto also stops walking around aimlessly, waiting for his friend to appear down either side of the hallway.

"It was Yuu-kun, though I don't know his last name--" And Deneb pauses at the end of one hallway before barreling down it as fast as his legs can carry him so he can latch onto the man at the end of the hallway.

"YUUUUUUUTOOOOOOO!"

As soon as Deneb interrupts himself, Yuuto looks up just in time to see the Imagin making a beeline for him. He's wide-eyed for a minute, just watching, but then somehow prepares himself for the inevitable Deneb-clinging.

"D-Deneb! Wait!"

Too late.

Hope you've got decent balance still, Yuuto, as Deneb has absolutely zero intention of letting go anytime soon.

"You're acting like you haven't seen me in a while," he says as he's currently being hugged to death.

But now he's trying to push you away so he can get some answers.

"Is it true? What the letter said. Is our world... our time... is it really gone?"

"...well, I've been here for a couple of weeks. And then before I got here, there was the time during the Oni incident, so it has been a while." He'll let up now - he probably shouldn't overwhelm Yuuto.

His head hangs, and he shakes it. "I don't know - Much as I've tried, I can't get back to the ZeroLiner or the DenLiner. All we have to go on is their word, but I don't know how much I trust it."
