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.]

[Hey, roomie. Guess who just got hit with that piece of paper? Yep. The nearly invisible goth chick huddled in the corner. And guess who's not very happy about being violently assaulted with recyclables? The nearly invisible goth chick, yes.]

Please don't throw things.

[While being extra careful not to look at her roomie - because, knowing her luck, mysterious roommate #1 is incredibly radiant - Sunako tosses the paper back.]

[It was so violent Sunako may never recover.]

Oh.

[There's still a little radiance seeping out of Yuko, but not enough to case Sunako to flip her shit. Plus, having a book entitled 'MEDICAL HORRORS' in her lap also helps keep her calm. As well as amused. But mostly calm. Although having her personal space bubble utterly annihilated is a little annoying, but her space bubble is massive, so almost nobody can go a day without piercing it.]

You read the note, right? It explained things.
justabitcreepy: (to the nth degree)

[Irritability will only receive irritability in return. These two are clearly going to be best friends.]

With no world left, there's not really any way to gauge were we are. Besides, does it really matter? It's not like we're going outside any time soon.

[While they'll probably end up spending a lot of time together, Sunako isn't too fond of her new rommie. So, she flips open her book of medical horrors, giggling quietly as she reads about some kind of brain mutation.]

If you're really so bothered just go die and play with all the other creatures of light in Heaven.

*On the floor just above hers, one of the dorm room doors is open. One of the signs on the door reads "Ryotaro Dojima", and if Yuko peeks in, she'll find her uncle lying in bed with the window of the room open. He's still wearing the white astronaut suit given to newcomers.*

URGH! *The sudden hug didn't help his queasiness or his ribs, but he wrapped an arm around the figure hugging him, recognizing that familiar grey hair.* I'm glad to see you too... *and that's when it hit him. The hair was longer than usual, much longer, and the body pressed against his didn't feel like a boy's...* ... Yu?

[personal profile] papadojima 2012-06-20 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
H-hang on, hang on. *Dojima propped himself on one elbow to look at his... niece?* ... since when are you a girl?

[Cross is going to wander into the Aquarium room, moving his the light of his flashlight around. When the beam of light hits a girl he raises an eyebrow.]

Uh, excuse me? Mind telling me where I am?

[Maybe she could explain this place to him.]

*He blinked at the contact, but his temperature was normal; his forehead was a bit cool, even, thanks to the open window and door generating a draft.* Y-yes, but... is this a... "worlds" thing? Because in the Inaba I'm from, I'm fairly sure you're a man.
hero_of_smiles: (Thinking)

[Oh, he's getting her in the face, he can tell cause she's signalling him to move it from her face or she's trying to play charades. In any case he moves it downwards and steps towards her.

He does look disappointed though, when he finds out that she doesn't even know.]

So I'm guessing you haven't been here long either than? 'Cause nothing's all I got too.

*Dojima went back to lying down, putting his hand on his stomach lightly and swallowing. God he couldn't wait to be better.* All right. *He took a deep breath, grimacing a little.* I saw Adachi in the cafeteria when I arrived. He said he hadn't seen Nanako. I haven't seen her either, and I don't even know if she's here, but if she is, we gotta find her and quick. I got a definite impression that whoever's in charge didn't save us.
hero_of_smiles: (Confused)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-06-20 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooookay, I guess we've been here for exactly the same amount of time.

[He's follows the girl's gaze, towards the aquarium and stares for a moment. That's a lot of fish in there. Especially those giant Shark things. He tilts his head curiously, before, looking back to the silver haired girl.]


I guess so? It's kind of weird though waking up in a place like this, though.
hero_of_smiles: (Happy)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-06-20 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I can understand that. It's not good to get worried and not being able to think properly.

[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.

[Darn. Oh well. Wait how tall is Yuko? Is she like a giantess of women?]

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.]
