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

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?

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

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

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

[...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-]

[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!

[Oh, hell to the no.]

[Labrys was definitely not going to put up with anyone or anything attacking her friends, even if it meant she'd have to fight.]

[With a clacking of metal and hissing of hydraulics, the bladed 'wings' she wore detached and unfolded into an axe. In one smooth motion she reached for the handle and swung it upwards into both hands, dropping into a fighting stance.]

Get outta the way--!

[She sprang forward in an instant, swinging the massive blades with no less effort than one would a baseball bat aimed for the monster's midsection.]

[And we'll pretend that the door fell closed at that or something, because Riku is kicking it open again and sending a Dark Firaga right to where he senses the wrapped Darkness he has come to associate with the Tower.

It splits into smaller blasts a second after entering the room, spiraling as to avoid everything but their intended target.

Hope Labrys doesn't mind the magical back-up.]

[Uh, Minato? There is a reason he kind of paid attention to Labrys' presence. Not only was she strong, but his own Persona would likely be warning him if they were able to. Thus he... kind of does as he's told and jumps out of the way. Just in time, too... that would have been close. When the dark fires form as well, he is more than glad to watch the damn thing burn.

Talk about a rude alarm clock (his poor bed--no, worried about that later). He was definitely going to punch Lelouch for this later, and his eyes narrow as the monster squirms. Legs cut clean off, but still moving.]

Isn't it a little early for Halloween?

[...Only Yu would joke about this. He sighs, slashing at its neck.]

[He'd expect as much, but Minato have an idea of Labrys's strength. He knows Aigis, so he expected Labrys to be as strong--if not stronger--than her.]

Are you expecting them to do things on time?

[He watch the monster squirms, wondering if it'll regenerate its limbs. Well, it's not so time to keep attacking. He can't summon his Persona due to the space...except for healing.

Hopefully, it won't comes to that.]

Any reason why it's here beside the obvious answer?

Who cares about why?

[Labrys' eyes flashed red for a moment--analyzing structure: unknown. analyzing weaknesses: undetermined. hypothesis: shadow? match = negative, hypothesis = disproven.--before bringing the axe down hard on where she estimated was its neck.]

Worry about that after it ain't tryin' to kill anyone!

[At this time, Lancer follows Riku into the room.]

...That is one ugly dog.

[Despite the joking, he can still sense the hostile intent and manifests his spear.]

At least you weren't making that much noise doing what I thought you were doing.

[Riku is just rolling his eyes and muttering under his breath (it may or may not sound a lot like an exasperated "I told you."), but keeps back as he assesses the situation.

...Well. He's got enough sense to not get in the way of the girl with the large axe.

And since he's still pretty much standing in the door and outside the influence of the power drain, he'll opt for support magic and cast Cure Potion on everyone. That's always a good idea, right?]

[Yu shrugs his shoulders faintly in response, cricking his neck back into place before blocking striking again. No, he didn't expect them to do anything on time. Though he wondered why it would...]

I didn't request or do anything out of the ordinary...

[which could only mean...] Dammit, Lelouch-

[Ten yen it was his fault somehow. Because honestly? He remembers how shitty that guy's luck stats are compared to his own. The monster's on its last legs when he registers Lancer's sentence-

What-? Dude, no-! He has three roommates! No way-!]

[Hearing Yu's words, Minato can think of a reason why. Lelouch.

Well, they can deal with that later. The monster's almost dead! Instead of slashing, he's going to try and stab it with his sword--!]

[Labrys struck out once more as well, aiming to smash the creature's head with the massive blade of her axe.]

[Seeing her axe, Minato withdraw his sword and moves back. And watch her axe went down on the creature's head.]

[Riku lowers Way to the Dawn and relaxes his stance a bit, because well... this does look pretty much over.

Yep, he was definitely right about not getting in the way of that axe.

(Also filling away that name, Lelouch; and making note to ask Yu about that later on.)]

...So what the heck was that?

[The handle retracted and the double bladed head folded in half, Labrys once again fixing it to her back easily.]

You guys killed it.

[Lancer sounds disappointed, and for good reason. He wanted to at least get one or two hits in.]

I have no idea. It attacked when I so much as sat up.

[Well Lancer, that's what you get for jumping to conclusions. ...Are you sure you never met Margaret before?]

[...Lancer, your priorities... Nope, not gonna comment on that.

Riku just dismisses his Keyblade again - it's not going to be needed anymore; here at least - arms crossing over his chest.]

It's the second one of its sort I've seen today; from the looks of it they are targeting several people. No idea if there's a pattern to it yet.

[Though it's the first of the month, so... this was maybe some sort of welcome to it.]

Knowing this place, I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

[He'll just need to ask Lelouch if he did anything...]
