I don't care whether I live or die

Characters: Chidori Yoshino, OPEN
Setting: Outside of Minato's old room, but feel free to run into her wandering the tower.
Format: Action, but I can match if prose is easier.
Summary: Chidori can't sense Minato in the tower, so she's checking everywhere herself to make sure Medea isn't messing with her.
Warnings: Stregafeels, likely murderous impulses, possible mentions of self-harming tendencies later.



[Some days, Chidori wakes in a panic from dreams she doesn't like to think about and has to scan the tower to make sure the boys are alright. It feels silly after the first few times, how she worries that they might not 'feel' right when she seeks them out. She'd never anticipated not sensing one of them at all. Of course, she knew it was a possibility- after all, she'd disappeared from the tower before herself, left the boys behind entirely without wanting to. She'd never considered that one of them could be taken away too. Or rather, she'd always preferred to think it wouldn't happen, especially given how long they'd all been there.

Even if she had considered it, she never would have thought it would be Minato.

So when she wakes, a little frantic and still not entirely lucid and searches for them- finds Jin, finds Ken, but feels nothing of Minato nearby, she expands her search as far as she can. Considering her range, it's not too difficult to expand it, to scan the majority of the tower in either direction. In the back of her mind, Medea's amusement about the situation is obvious, and Chidori gets up and dresses in a rush, running her fingers nervously through her hair as she makes her way out her door and out to explore as much of the tower she can herself.

She has to be absolutely sure.

She makes her way upward first, venturing out into the newer floors cautiously. Some she rules out immediately, knowing Minato wouldn't be on them unless he absolutely has to. Partway up, she starts worrying in earnest, and Medea gets even more smug. By the time she starts making her way to the lower floors, 'worry' is becoming a quiet, desperate 'panic'. When she hits the cafeteria and there's still no sign of him, she starts scanning the tower again, breathing picking up speed. She stops by his room last, and his name is gone from the door.

In the back of her mind, Medea laughs and laughs while Chidori's legs give out from under her, quickened breaths becoming full-blown hyperventilation.]

[Karkat shrinks back behind the corner he had poked his head out of instinctively, the urge to survive momentarily overpowering his normal prideful nature. However, when Chidori doesn't get up, he slowly inches back out further to examine her.

He adjusts his jaw awkwardly, his fangs sinking into his lower lip before he straightens up and steps back out into the hallway, bracing himself.]


Doesn't matter, moment's passed.

[He glances up toward the door she had been in front of, obviously not aware of who was in that room -- though she was clearly close to whoever it was. Talk about awkward.]

Couldn't help but notice, y'know? Empathy and all.
