Who: Yukiteru and YOU
Where: Cafeteria, after he sends a message to Yuno. Feel free to stop him between the two locales, too.
When: Breakfast hour.
Style: Will copy yours.
What: Yukki realizes a chance to fix two of the (less-)non-Yuno related things he regretted the most from his world was taken from him.
Rating/Warnings: Barring the ever-present possibility of a Code Yuno, shouldn't be too bad.

2/3/UNKNOWN YEAR 1:23 PM
Akise and Tsubaki are nowhere to be found. For some reason, this worries me.

2/3/UNKNOWN YEAR 3:26 PM
I find graves marked with Akise and Tsubaki's names. The graves are empty. I don't see them again on the Tower, and nobody else does, either. I have mixed feelings about this.

[ ... Well, guess what he does right away after reading these entries? Rather than go to the cafeteria first thing in the morning like usual, he takes a detour to the library terminals. He goes straight to typing and sends off one message. To his girlfriend. ]

they're gone, yuno. it's okay now. diary says there's some new floors. floor 81 sounds fun. i'll show you why later. love, yukki

[ He can be found just staring at his food after this. He's clearly got a lot on his mind. Sure, Akise and Tsubaki leaving made things easier when it came to Yuno, but he can't help but feel a little disappointed. It felt like a chance to make things right with both of them. Sure, his version of Akise basically brought what happened to him on himself, and any sympathy he had for his version of Tsubaki (which was actually quite a lot; nobody deserves what happened to her) went out the window the moment she tried to hurt Yuno the way she did. But they were different. From another timeline. One that, in some way, was apparently just little bit better than his own, enough for Tsubaki to be a halfway-decent person and a potential friend, and for Akise to not be quite as... well... suicidal, for lack of a better term, in his pursuit of him.

Maybe they were just another experiment by these 'administrators,' too. A test to see if he could forgive Tsubaki, and if he'd be willing to give Akise a chance. ... what does that mean about Yuno, then? Would they take her away from him, too? No... no, she had to have been trapped here just like he was. They were from the same version of reality.

Well. Sort of. Close enough... closer than Akise and Tsubaki were to his, anyway. ]

Taiki saw his roommate in the cafeteria and stood near his table holding his food, trying to buck up the courage to go and sit with him.

He seemed really nice even if Taiki was forever scared of upsetting him, but Taiki hadn't really been doing much in his room apart from sleeping (and crying.)]

[deusexyandere]

[ Oh boy, incoming feels. He hadn't talked to Taiki recently, if only because, despite being roommates, they kept seeming to miss one another. But if he was here now... Yukiteru offered a tentative nod in greeting to the other boy, and went back to staring at his food. It's clear that whatever is weighing on him right now is really, really hurting. ]

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki nodded back and slowly walked towards the table.] Um... can I sit here?

[deusexyandere]

Yeah. Sure.

[ Yukiteru barely looked up again. He's... a little upset. ]

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki sat down and watched Yukiteru worryingly.] Um... are you okay?

[deusexyandere]

Better than I was...

[ Better than when they last talked, anyway. At least now he had Yuno, even if he lost two other people from his world he could have been friends with. ]

How about you?

[notagiraffe]

I'm glad... [Not that he could really have gotten worse...] I'm... okay...

You still look sad...

derp wrong journal

[deusexyandere]

Some of my friends went home.

[notagiraffe]

Oh... I'm sorry... [He blinked sadly, he knew how painful losing people was.]

[obsessing]

[ The fact that everyone from their world (or people similar to them, anyway,) is gone is a good sign. Of course, it's never enough, considering that there are still people in here, in this tower, that can interfere with their relationship. And she doesn't want that. No, no.

But the message makes her grin, and she decides to meet him on that exact floor, a basket in hand with food as she finally arrives on said floor, waiting for him. ]

[deusexyandere]

[ Well, there she is. It wasn't going to be much of a stretch to guess she probably took this way better than he did, which is why he's not going to be confrontational about it. Besides, there's nothing he can do, now. And even if Yuno could with her new powers, she wouldn't. ]

Hi, Yuno.

[ He forces a smile, looking at the basket. Figures she'd insist on cooking, instead of eating cafeteria food. ]

What did you bring?

[obsessing]

It's not much, actually. It's hard to cook something nice with what we have here.

[ Which is true, but if Yukki took a look at his diary, he might find out what exactly is in there. Thankfully, she didn't use any of the monsters in her dishes... ]

[deusexyandere]

I'm sure it's fine anyway. You're a great cook.

[ How often do they go back and forth with this? ]

Wanna have a seat? I, uh... I brought something too, but I'm not sure it would be good for breakfast.

[ It was left over from his Christmas basket from when he had that awful flu. It was a can of soda. A brand that should be very familiar to her. ]

[obsessing]

[ Yuno shakes her head as she gives him a sheepish smile, awkwardly laughing as she takes the soda, opens it and drinks it nonetheless. ]

It's okay. Whatever you bring... it's fine.

[deusexyandere]

[ When Yuno looks back at him, she'll see he's holding up two straws. ]

I... thought this would be nice.

[ Apparently, not, if she's just gonna chug the whole thing down. ]

[obsessing]

[ Oh, oops. She laughs it off and stops drinking. Thankfully, there's still a little over half the soda left when she puts it down, taking the straws and placing it inside the cup. ]

Sorry, Yukki. [ She... didn't know, alright?! Even though she totally was planning on sharing it, straw or no straw. ] We can get another one later, if you want.

[deusexyandere]

[ He forces himself to smile. ]

Sure. How about later tonight? [ He did, after all, mention Floor 81. ] I... wanted to show you something.

[prayed]

[Kyoko approaches Yukiteru, pulling the chair out with the back of her heel before plopping down in it. She sets her pancakes down in front of her. She takes a few bites out of her pancakes, swallows, before pointing her fork in his direction. There's a certain amount of annoyance in her tone, but perhaps a bit of concern as well. She doesn't know this kid very well, but he seems pretty alright.]

Oi. Don't tell me you're still just moping around.

[deusexyandere]

[ He remembers her. She was one of the first people to talk to him as he arrived in the Tower, though her 'advice' was really, really blunt, and almost back-handed. ]

... My friends left.

[ Not Yuno, but. ]

[prayed]

Probably better off.

[She hesitates to say that, though. She knows how hard it can be to wind up alone, after all.]

You at least got that chick around? The one you were all worried about before.

[deusexyandere]

[ What he hates the most is that she's probably right, just now for the reason she thinks. ]

Yeah... Yuno's here. [ A sigh. ] Have you met her?

[prayed]

She's that pink-haired chick, right? Yeah, we've met.

[deusexyandere]

Yeah, that's her.

[ He's not sure if he wants to know, but... ] How did that go?

[prayed]

[He really doesn't.]

Could've been worse.

[deusexyandere]

Oh.

[ He can tell that it's best to just leave it at that. But... ] ... she didn't hurt you, did she?
