towerofanimus | 001 { howling in the dead of night }

Characters: Koromaru and you, good sirs and madams!
Setting: All around the tower, starting in room 3-04.
Format: Starting in prose, but I'll match your preference.
Summary: Puppy did not have a good few weeks in the tower. Why all his friends either not here or acting strangely? :(
Warnings: Possible omg cute while everything else goes to hell ~~pfffffffffffffffft~~.

The last three weeks have been very confusing for the humans he's seen, and even more so for the canine that awakened in a strange room with three strange people he didn't know. Though, they did seem to be okay... and running into Chie-san wasn't too bad, either!

But... where were his friends?

He couldn't really put his own collar on by himself (we do not count the one he awoke with, it doesn't do the same thing), so he carried it in his mouth for a while, unless someone was kind enough to put it on him. Really, he looked kind of down about it as he began searching every floor for any sign of them being alright.

Probably didn't help that the last thing he saw was one of his closest friends flying up to the moon on his own as they cried out for him...

He barks twice for "no," but is glad to have the collar on again. At least now he'd be able to help with a little more ease... even though it wasn't completely necessary.

While he may be unlucky, he survived this long without severe injury, and while she may not be the Chidori he knew, the concern in his gaze was still there. He owed the one he did know for saving Iori-san, and even if they weren't the same people, it was hard for him not to act that way.

Not good for anyone...? He whined, worried. Were any of the others there? Could he do anything to help them? What about Minato-kun? Was he okay?

"Weeks then. You've done well to manage this long, Koro-san."

Of course, if any animal could, it would be Koromaru. Unlucky or not, he was smart, and capable enough, even without Cerberus- at least, in her opinion. She adjusts the collar, scoffing a little at the wings- the ones on her Koromaru's collar were far more appropriate- and then straightens up, smoothing out her skirt.

"There are many here from Iwatodai, and other persona users from other places as well. I am certain you will meet all of them eventually..." She looks down at him, and pauses. "Though you should be careful now. Some people might seem familiar, but the tower has been changing them. They could be dangerous." Another pause, and she bends to rub his ears idly.

"Have you eaten?"

He liked that opinion. Though he was much better with a pack, er, team. Whatever. It all had some similar connotations with most Persona users, after all. Koromaru tilted his head a little at the scoff, though. Yeah. He never got why they were there in the first place, to be honest. Except for the fact it matched Cerberus. Other than that, it didn't make much sense.

Some of the others were here? Who? And more persona users? He yips once, curious and yet answering her question at the same time.

Yes, cut not today. Though the oatmeal was surprisingly better than the cooking from a certain...priestess...

Yeah, he was whining at the memory. Also wondering how many of his friends could be dangerous, or why they were different. None of them deserved that.

Don't worry Koro- Chidori's cooking is way better than Fuuka's.

"It's a little difficult to explain, Koro-san. But the easiest I can make it is that there are multiple versions of each world, and the people in this place 'save' people from them at random. There are sometimes more than one version of a person here."

She stands up, but not without rubbing his ears again at the sound of the whine, and tilts her head down the hall.

"Come. We'll get you some food, and then I'll see about taking you to see everyone else from Iwatodai, if you'd like."

Hooray!

Multiple versions of each world, huh... and 'save'? Why did he not like the way she stated that part. Then again, it also reminded him of how Ikutsuki sounded just before he arrived to save his friends from him. He still did not like that human, anymore... probably never would again after what he did.

So there could be more than one of everyone here at any point of time? ...Okay. That would likely get confusing at some point, but he will still try and make all the friends in the meantime. It was just trying to figure out the differences in their scents!

He gave her a small dog grin. "Ruff ruff!"

Yes, he really would like to meet with the others. It'd been a few weeks and he missed them.

"Then off we go."

She leads the way down the halls and toward the stairs, keeping her gait measured and careful so that Koromaru can follow. Some of the stairs are trickier, but she doesn't want to take the elevator- he might not have anyone to push the buttons for him, if he doesn't learn his way down the tower proper.

"Have you had the oatmeal yet? If so, what would you like? I think I can find something to roast for you, if you would like, Koro-san."

The somewhat one-sided conversation was surprisingly calming- she was used to talking to their version of Koromaru, though Ken was still best with him. The both of them did tend to dote on Strega's canine companion more than the others, though Minato himself was no slouch either. And while she wasn't sure what they were planning to do to the poor thing while he was around, SEES member or no, she planned to take care of him as best she could.

He follows with ease, doing his best to be careful once again as they head down the stairs. Maybe with a lot of practice he could figure out how or which buttons to press, but for now, stairs are fine.

Koromaru barked once, though if Medea would have chosen to help her communicate with him, she'd likely see something akin to this:

He would just have to try and burn them if they did try anything. Mudoon would likely work, too... since he did care about all of his friends. It was likely going to be something that he'd try if they appeared again and tried to harm any of them (no one ever suspects the dog, okay).

Chidori blinks at the image she suddenly gets from Medea, and it startles a laugh out of her, hand coming to her mouth. She leans down to ruffle the fur behind one ear and inclines her head a little.

"...goodness. That is unfortunate. Would you like some fish, perhaps?"

He had looked at someone's laptop a few too many times. Sorry, Chidori. But hey, it got a laugh out of her. He'd consider that a success!

"Arf arf!"

It's okay Koro- sometimes the internet comes in handy.

"Fish it is then. Come, we'll go to the kitchen, and I'll see if I can't find you some beef too."

She sure does spoil that dog though, doesn't she?

Yes she does, and he doesn't mind it one bit. Koromaru followed without much hesitation, approving of this possible dinner very much.
