First Arcana: The Awakening
Characters: Yuko and whoever runs into her
Setting: Starting at 2-15, then exploring the first block.
Format: Action, unless you'd rather prose it up
Summary: Yuko wakes up in a strange place with no idea how she got here, because apparently it was her turn to do that this time.
Warnings: None to start, added as they come.
2-15/Dorm hallway
[This was some kind of mistake. Yuko couldn't just take some cut and pasted note essentially saying, hi, the world is gone, enjoy your stay, at face value. She wouldn't have slept through that, at least not in such a way that she would have, y'know, survived. Her first instinct, after crumpling the letter and tossing it aside, was to find answers.
The first place she opted to look? The halls of the dorm levels, checking all four for whatever information she could find, whether from her fellow captives or otherwise.]
Floor 3
[Beyond the dormitories, themselves lit about as well as a typical survival horror game, the power was dead, and light was at an absolute premium, so after the first floor, she had backtracked to the elevator, using the MP3 player Yosuke had given her as an impromptu flashlight. The presence of a library immediately caught her interest - if there was anything to be learned about this place, logic said she'd find it here. As she scans the backlight of the portable music player across the shelves, however, her hope visibly gives way to disappointment.]
Floor 6
[For every question that was left unanswered by the first five levels of the tower, several more were promptly raised by the sixth. There was no sign from the fourth floor windows that this was remotely possible, and Yuko could think of only one place that would so defy geometry, to say nothing of the fog outside... but even that was impossible. They'd purified that place, and this one, pun not intended, was wrong on far more levels. The least of those, perhaps, was how friendly the various woodland creatures appeared not to be. She'd give a token look around, but it seemed best not to linger.]
Floor 10
[It was like standing in the middle of the ocean. If she'd seen something like this anywhere else, she'd be in awe of its beauty. All sorts of marine life floated through the gravity-defying waters. Some, Yuko recognized, some was impossibly alien. For a little while, she pauses her search, simply to admire her surroundings. Wherever she was, this place fascinated her.]

[She approaches him, offering a handshake.] I'm Yuko, by the way. If we're stuck here together, it'd be good to know who's got your back, right?
no subject
[He looks to the hand offered to him. Are you going to awaken his Persona Yuko? He will take her hand and shake it anyways.]
I'm Cross, it's nice to meet you, well as nice as waking up in a creepy place that is. But right! Working together is probably the only way we'll figure out how to get out of here.
no subject
Mm! Nice to meet you, too, Cross-kun. And we will figure it out. You've got my word.
no subject
Huh? Cross-kun?
[He's not familiar with Japanese all that much. But he shakes his head.]
Right! A hero works together with others to help everyone!
[Get used to this Yuko....you may hear stuff like that a lot.]
no subject
You'll get used to it, don't worry.
[Well, hopefully they'd be gone before he could, but the sentiment was there. It gave way to a sort of amused puzzlement at his exclamation, though.]
Hero, huh? Well, glad to hear I'm in good hands, then.
no subject
Um...okay? It's not like an insult or something, right?
[He lets out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his head.]
W-well...hero in training...I'm not hero status yet.
[Cause you need to be well known for that kind of stuff. He isn't.]
no subject
[Hero... in training? Status? She doesn't even attempt to mask her confusion.]
Um... I don't think "hero" is actually an official title. Like, anywhere.
no subject
[He's going to look at her though, raising a brow at her confusion.]
Well, yeah I guess so, but I just mean heroes usually are pretty well know,n right? And they got lot of experience and stuff. So that's why I'm in training. Not many people know me yet.
[Just...just go with it Yuko.]
no subject
[Sorry Cross. She's got Opinions on this.]
