005 | ❝Come back for the hope that you've stolen...❞

Characters: Yu and you it will never get old
Setting: Starting in the morning of the return from Infighting on the dorm's second floor, wandering later on
Format: Your choice
Summary: Birthdays were had in Hell, so he decided to celebrate by flooding the dorms with origami cranes and do several other things.
Warnings: I sense a few New World Fools...

Yu wasn't one to say when he was hurting, nor was he the kind of person to simply ignore when others were either. It was hell, the last month... and according to the notes he'd received from Naoya and Zo the main portion of the tower hadn't fared well, either. So for remainder of the first day, all he did was continue making paper cranes in his shared dorm room. If anyone asked, he probably was too absorbed in how calming it was to respond much...

Floor One
After dropping off the little paper figurines at the doors of the other Persona users and his friends, Yu found himself wandering down to the cafeteria. He hadn't eaten much of anything for the last month and barely stomached whatever Ken and the others had brought him from the table, so finding all of these ingredients in the cafeteria?

It was like he was finally back in his element after what felt like an eternity.

The teen soon lost himself in the scents and mundane actions that come from cooking, probably making extra on purpose for anyone who wanted to try something that wasn't guaranteed to poison them. After all, he does know his way with a knife and a stove... even if it was a pain figuring out Fahrenheit-to-Celcius every now and then.

Floor Five
Yu tried to avoid this floor as much as he possibly could for reasons only a select few fully understood. He always ignored the red-collar workers as they went about their jobs, doing what they always did. Yet the sensation he had when coming here...

For once, he could recognize it. That emptiness and the suffocating feeling as though death were clawing up his legs again, trying to drag him down into the pits of hell. The crushing void within his heart to the point where he could almost hear their screams as death claimed them all over and over again.

He almost fell to his knees once or twice, taking hold of something before he could. A rail, someone's arm... he didn't know. All he knew was he wanted out of here before the despair that nearly claimed the spark of hope that still resided in his heart returned once more.

Floor Fourteen
Over the several months Yu'd been here, the media room had become a place of solace where he would meet with his friends and bond. Whether it was over music or video games didn't matter. He just enjoyed the time he spent with them.

This time, however, he was looking for someone in particular... someone he couldn't find at the "wrap-up party" last weekend. After a while of waiting, he sat down and began playing a little game again. Maybe they just decided not to come today...

Floor Twenty-Two
For some reason this week, Yu had begun to frequent the art gallery much more often than he normally did. After all, it seemed to be a place where a certain goddess kept finding him... and all it did sometimes was show him his fears. Oddly enough when he looked at the paintings now, it wasn't mostly his own world he was looking at...

It was of a surgeon cutting open a patient who remained awake, abominations and many grotesque creatures oozing out of the person's abdomen. Yet he didn't flinch, didn't so much as make any acknowledgement of what it was he saw. All he did was keep walking and enjoying the silence all the while hoping someone would soon break it.

Night, Your Floor of Choice
Cooking wasn't the only thing that was cathartic for the teen. No, there had also been a reason he had tried making a weapon for himself only to find a new friend giving him one instead. It had been a month, and his skills were a little rough around the edges, but he'd decided that it wouldn't hurt to stay out until around midnight and fight once the monsters came out.

If you're lucky, someone might even hear a single word being muttered before the sensation of electricity remaining stagnant in the air became more poignant: "Persona."

[ooc note: For Purse Owners Yu's met and seen their Personas, there is an origami figurine of them in their rooms somewhere (more than likely just at the door unless you're his roommate). For close CR, there's an animal other than a crane for them of their choosing. He was in a giving mood. :c

ALSO! If you'd be so kind as to also state the day of the week in the comment as well, it would be greatly appreciated! You can also have your characters wander into him on accident on either lounge floors. It gets old saying "Yu sit here, wat do?" after a while... |3]

[Ryoji needed some peace. He didn't know what to do - he wanted to help people, but he couldn't figure out how. Thanatos was powerful, but not powerful enough. And so he heads to the meadow to try to find some time for himself...]

[And he spots Yu. For a moment, he considers leaving, but instead he heads over to Yu and sitting down next to him, not saying anything yet.]

[He speaks dots, his siblings are protags. But he reaches out and puts a hand on Yu's shoulder. He can see the fact that all of this is wearing on him. The responsibilities of being a leader, of being there for people... he's seen this look before.]

Don't burn yourself out, okay?

[He smiles slightly, and then pulls his hand away.]

I'm... sorry I couldn't really help. I just thought I'd end up...

[Getting killed again? Getting in the way? Getting too emotional at seeing his brother like this?]
thanabro: (removing the mask)

[He'll keep an eye on him, as long as Yu doesn't mind. He's been both the one taken care of and the one taking care of others, and at least with people he can be more honest with, he doesn't mind dropping the flirty and carefree mask in order to put on the caring one.]

[Even with a single Persona, people still have multiple ones, Wild Card ability or no.]

I am. It manifested itself when I needed it most... and that wasn't that long ago.

[He does look curious, though.]

Ah?

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-07-30 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
... I'd appreciate it. He's strong, but he works better in a group - I don't have the specialization that a Wild Card does, and there's not many members of SEES here to fight with.

[There's Strega, but... he's still not sure how to handle them.]

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-07-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He stands, and summons Thanatos, who hangs behind him awaiting orders.]
