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

[pitiedthefool]

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.]

[Weird. He blinks for a second, before answering.]

I only really know what I do through Izanagi... [Okay and eleven others he has on hand, but shh.] What about magic?

[redwhiteandhero]

[Suspicious.]

Why did you steal it?

[pitiedthefool]

..Nani? [What even.]

[redwhiteandhero]

You heard me. Why did you take it?

[pitiedthefool]

I didn't take it from anyone. What I know was given.

[redwhiteandhero]

Who gave it to you? Did you know it's killing me?

...i have a feeling this icon is going to be spammed.

[pitiedthefool]

... I doubt this is the same kind of magic you're thinking of.

most likely XD;

[redwhiteandhero]

Quit trying to make excuses! Just give it back and we won't have any more trouble.

yeeeep...

[pitiedthefool]

[....siiiigh. Walking away, now.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Hey! Don't you walk away! [Reaches out to grab his shoulder.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Son of a- He was so cloooooose.]

...Izanami-no-Okami gave my own power a gentle push, but if you want to yell at someone, take it out on Jason. I haven't harmed anyone purposely or on accident since Ruana's game.

[redwhiteandhero]

And how am I supposed to know you're telling the truth?

[pitiedthefool]

I don't make a habit of lying... but I guess it's up to you whether to believe me or not. I am a stranger to you.

[redwhiteandhero]

I've got no reason to trust you.

[pitiedthefool]

[And every reason not to, if he learns his name.]

It's thoughts like that that make it harder for us to stand together against the bigger threats.

...Do you mind? I have to find my little sister.

[redwhiteandhero]

[Even feverish and paranoid, he's not gonna keep blocking a guy when a little kid could be in danger. Isn't he nice?]

I'm keeping an eye on you.

[pitiedthefool]

[Oh finally, freeedoooom lol irony temporarily(?) rejected. Would have said nice guy if not for that sentence.]

...Right. [Do what you want, America. Not like he's doing anything wrong.]
