towerofanimus | 014 | ❝We promised we'd make a snowman when it snowed...❞

Characters: Yu Narukami and you
Setting: All around the tower
Format: I'll follow you.
Summary: Nanako is sick with that special variety of the flu and goes missing, which equates to ~~the Sister-Complex Kingpin of Steel~~ her "brother" silently flipping all the goddamn tables no matter how late it gets.
Warnings: "Death", all the feelings, inability to can, Yu flipping tables better than Thor, and pissed/far-too-sympathetic headgod.

[So not long after the post (finally) goes up on the network, he begins searching high and low for one bitty whose voice somehow always reached him no matter what happened. She had to be scared right now, wherever she was, and in this place...

He may not ever voice it, but he is, too. There's no Velvet Room summoning to make him stop and calm down, either. Only more flights of stairs and more floors to search. And right now he didn't give a damn about the cold, so long as he could find her and keep her safe like he'd promised. He promised...

Maybe that's why he didn't care about the time, either. Or stop unless told to. Outwardly, he's still mostly calm until a monster shows up and then it is way beyond overkill on any floor where powers aren't disabled.

Suddenly the red gaze of his other self is not so warm and caring...

Though eventually he will tire, sitting on the 25th floor in front of a large fire to warm up before going out again. There is no rest for the weary.]

[...Goddamn, Yu.

She'd ask where they came from, but if their encounter in October is any indication? It has to do with what he was possessed by after his death...

A power that couldn't possibly be explained with science, no matter how hard one tried.]

...Thanks. [Just to make sure the one in front of her was done for, she smashes its head in with the butt of the Revenant, putting full force into it for good measure.]

[He has a lot of voices in his head, and all of them are aspects of his mind. Izanagi-no-Okami is the true mask, making him the strongest, but right now every time he tried to call on him there would be a massive migraine and it was hard enough to keep moving right now.

The devil soon disappears, and for some reason... he doesn't even look that spent as he straightens himself and shakes his head.]

...Don't mention it. [He inwardly winces, but his pokerface remains.] Talk about overkill, though.

[And more are likely to come, soon. Sob.]

Things have a bad habit of dying around me in the 'best' ways possible. [Anything that isn't a close friend, or someone loyal to her, anyway.

Not even cracking a smile at her own morbid joke, she puts the Revenant aside, bringing out her Plasma Shotgun again--if any more of them come, she's going to flay them, too.]

...Any luck?

...Funny. I could say the same.

[We don't talk about March 20th. Especially when suddenly his headgod has such a strong reaction to it it causes an eye to twitch. When they both watched helplessly as, one by one... He shakes the jokes from his mind, and answers her question in the same action.]

I'm guessing you haven't, either.

[No one ever talks about March 20th. 8[

But I digress...]

Yeah...I've gone everywhere I can think of already. There's no sign of her at all.

[He nods.] ...We may want to check every floor, just in case. If my hunch is right...

[He doesn't even want to think about it, but his intuition hasn't been wrong before.]

...You're thinking she wandered off to one of the more dangerous floors, aren't you?

[It's almost as if they had the same thought in mind...]

...Yes. That, or on the creepy side.

[Hey she went through "Heaven" once before... and that was a nightmare and a thousand-point-five.]

Dammit.

There's no point wasting time here, then. Just tell me where I should look and I'll get to work.

[If she knew about all that she'd really feel bad about what they've gone through. But maybe it's better if she didn't until later on... 8[]

[...It feels weird, giving orders to someone so older, but he nods faintly.]

Check the floors above 31... I'll check below.

*sigh* If only Rise were in her right mind...

None at all, except 'why Skyla why'. 8[

More like 'why mods why'. T__T

Fair point. T_T
