010 | ❝To chase after what's hidden..❞

[pitiedthefool]

Characters: Yu Narukami, two deities of death, and you!
Setting: Floor Twenty (???), Room 2-02 (post-body swaps), and anywhere post-9/26
Format: I'll match you.
Summary: After all that's happened, Yu needs some alone time. Unfortunately the tower says "n o p e" and he throws in the white towel.
Warnings: Silent protags, gods of death, and the tower in general? I don't know...

Floor Twenty (Locked to Izanami)

He didn't necessarily linger on this floor for long, usually only passing through before continuing on to his destination. However, today was different. He stared out to what lay beyond the tower, not saying anything as he just allowed the wind to hit his face. He didn't mind that it was empty, desolate of any sort of life. It was a nice, quiet place to think and sort things out.

Of course, what he had seen in Inaba had been much worse. Even as he stood there in silence, he waited. Maybe his request would be put on hold, but he didn't mind that either. He still had a message to deliver, though.

Room 2-02 (Locked to ...AU!Minato?)
Well, he always had been one for shitty sleep schedules, regardless of how he tended to micromanage his routine as much as possible. After Inaba, he had a hard time sleeping before 1am every night. Hell, it's still a miracle he didn't nap during the day because of it. Either way...why did he get the sinking suspicion he was being watched by someone who wasn't his roommates or whatever cameras there were?

Floor Fourteen
He almost always stopped on this floor, even when he wanted to be alone. However, this time he seems to step in, take a look around, and walk back out again after deciding better than playing a video game again. At least, unless someone stops him.

Anywhere after 9/26
Of course, after a short time to reflect and after setting up the party to celebrate their victory over Jason's experiment, he's likely checking every floor to see if he finds any familiar faces. It's just to check up on everyone, really. It had been a mess the last week, and he knows he messed up along the line. Feel free to bump into him anywhere you so please.

Room 2-02 (10/1)
So thanks to Ledouche, the ones in dorm room 2-02 aren't exactly having a good morning. Powers are nullified, a creature lurking underneath Yu's bed. He hadn't sent in that 'request' at all, but the aforementioned someone saw fit for it regardless.

When Yu is able to move, he draws his sword from underneath his pillow and strikes out. Little help here, guys?

Floor 3 after 9/26

[worldend_dominator]

Excuse me.

[Rosa waves to the passing boy.]

Can you please give me some help?

[pitiedthefool]

Hm? [He pauses for a moment, but nods.] Sure. What is it?

[worldend_dominator]

[She points at one of the networking consoles.]

Can you tell me how to send pages of text? Or audio recordings?

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu nods faintly, walking over to the keyboard. He shows her how with ease, explaining as he goes along.]

Stairway => Meadow, after 9/26

[sacred_flamer]

Yu can probably hear the faint sound of, "Mieuuu~ Mieuuu~" on the stairs ahead of him for awhile before he actually sees the source of the noise. Apparently Luke had his cheagle out doing errands again: the little guy was on the stairs, trying to haul some towels up. Unfortunately, he was so small that he could only set the towels down on the step above him before climbing up after them.

Help a poor cute little critter out?

[pitiedthefool]

That he could, so when he does see the little guy he couldn't help but stop and see what it was doing. King of odd, a little fella like his friend's cheagle trying to carry those towels. So he pauses for a moment, considers, and-

"Need a hand with that?"

Seriously, that looked just plain ridiculous.

[sacred_flamer]

Amnon paused his work, looking up at Yu with those big round eyes of his. Ohh... this was master's best friend! He wagged his tail happily (which, because he was so small, it made him look like he was wiggling his butt instead), putting on his best adorable look.

"Mieu mieu mieu?"

[pitiedthefool]

Amnon, why so cute. You don't really need to do that when he was offering in the first place. Still, he stopped and picked up the towels, sparing the cheagle a headpet before straightening. Yu nodded.

"Where are you headed?"

[boundinchains]

[ Maybe it's the pair of blue-red eyes trained on you at the foot of your bed. Suddenly appearing there out of nowhere. It's kind of not entirely your fault but you sort of accidentally linked their two minds when you were in Lelouch's body, so... he now has access to you.

Briefly, anyway. It's not gonna be a permanent thing. Just a one-off thing, HE PROMISES. Besides his powers are too weak for that anyway, here. ]

Hello~! How are you doing?

[pitiedthefool]

[...Son of a bitch.

He blinks, only having sat down on his bed when he hears that voice. Blinking, he turns to face the owner and- nope. No freakouts, no further hint of surprise. Only a muted 'how the hell is this even-' since he does recall what Arisato had said. Though at this point, 'expect the unexpected' was the norm. This... definitely fit under 'unexpected.']

Better than most would likely be. [In other words, he's surprised by how well off he is, too.] And you, Pharos?

[boundinchains]

[ Giggle. ]

Now that I'm awake for a little while, as well as can be expected. It's a little quieter without the Dark Hour, though... I miss it. This place isn't the same, not even at night.

[ It was so peaceful, you see. Like death. So calm. It reminded him of Mother. ]

You've had a very trying month. Then again, this place seems to like to test your endurance. You should be careful, by the way. You'll soon be having more unexpected trouble...

[pitiedthefool]

I can see that, now.

[Thanks to a certain someone showing that too him, and he was looking right at the kid. Though he had a feeling he knew what he meant about missing that world beyond the confines of time normal people perceived. But then, normal had been overrated for quite some time, now. Still... another warning? How interesting. They mentioned that they take turns, right? So if his guess is correct, then it would be no surprise whose month is next...

A slight chill went down his spine at that: Ruana.]

It does. [A quick agreement, but all the same... Thanatos had said something similar about being careful and trials.] Is that why you came to me, or is there something else on your mind?

meadow after the party but before the evil league of evil meeting

[myblueskies]

Romeo and Piccolo were in the meadow eating an apple. Romeo didn't know how to cook; apart from cakes and he had no idea how to hunt. He could fish but there were no fish in the island lake and he didn't know which ones in the aquarium you could eat. There were some big scary fish and Romeo hadn't quite managed to make a fishing rod that didn't break yet.

So he was living off apples, yesterday he had had food at the party and so he wasn't hungry. He reached up to give Piccolo; who was sitting on his head, a piece of apple and smiled. He liked the meadow it was a good place to keep his spirits up, after the scariness of being in a body that wasn't his.

darn that meeting. 8|

[pitiedthefool]

Yu never really frequented this floor often. Even less so due to what happened earlier in the month. Even so, he paused when he noticed a familiar figure nearby. He couldn't help the faint hint of a smile after what they'd gone through. It was nice to see the kid the way he was supposed to be.

"Romeo?"

[myblueskies]

Romeo turned at his name and grinned to see who it was, he hadn't seen Yu in a long time and he was one of Romeo's favourite adults. "Mister Yu! Hello!" He jumped up, making Piccolo grip onto his hair and ran over. "How are you?"

[pitiedthefool]

He actually chuckled at that, glad to see he at least appeared to be doing fine. Yu knelt down to his height, nodding. "I'm alright. It's been a while."

How odd that he doesn't automatically freeze anymore when he's reminded of that place. But then, that's probably because his own voices are back.

[puppy_lancer]

[What's with all the screaming and crashing on the second floor today? Lancer walks up to the door and knocks.]

Hey, if you're gonna throw a party, either invite me, or keep the noise down! Same thing if you've got your girlfriend over.

/hopes that threadjack is okay?

[justabignobody]

[Riku's already heard that kind of screaming once today and helped dealing with the monster that has caused it... and it seems like jacking up on the other floors to see if anyone else had the same problem has been a good idea. His eyes widen slightly when he sees what door they are coming from, grip tightening around his Keyblade as he sprints the rest of the way, calling out the moment he is close enough.]

Hey! Unless you are ready and willing to face a monster, I'd take a step back!

it's okay!

[puppy_lancer]

Monster?

[A pause.]

...I don't think the couple in question is gonna like you saying that.

[fuhgeddaboudit]

[What's all that noise about...?]

[Labrys knocked lightly on the door before sticking her head in curiously.]

...Huh? Yu, what's goin' on?

[pitiedthefool]

[...Well, she likely just opened the door on a sight. Yu is still in his sweater, both them and his pj pants stained in monster blood as his katana slices through the malformed arm belonging to the creature that had tried to strangle him for reaching out of his bed to grab hold of the aforementioned weapon.

He wasn't alone in this, either.]

The hell is-!? [Blink]--Labrys?

[Oh shit-]

[evokingfool]

[Quite a sight, indeed. Minato's still in his sleepwear and have bed hair, but that doesn't matter in the face of a monster trying to strangle his roommate.

His sword, faster but shorter in length compared to Yu's katana, slashes at the monster.]

Yu, focus!

AFTER the Monster is defeated and the others are gone-

[doublechecks]

[...So he kinda heard the hub-bub of what's going around and well; came to a certain conclusion.

...

Yeah have an exhausted sort-of emperor just knocking on your door, Yu.]

okay now that i am not burned out... orz

[pitiedthefool]

[Yeah, he was picking a few things up and placing them back in his trunk when he heard the knocking on his door.

...

Well, there was one person he could think of that would be knocking this time of day. With a sigh, he goes to answer it and the moment he sees that exhausted face?

... He'll restrain himself for a second, because he remembers just how much of a 'squishy mage' Lelouch is. Be glad he is considerate.]

I wondered how long it would take you.

aw yis

[doublechecks]

A... *huff*, while.

[He's still catching his breath, and leaning on the doorway for support; thin frame heaving up and down as he did so.]
