015 | ❝A cold wind blows away...❞
Characters: Yu and You
Setting: Floor 48, 100, 96 ('cept not really), 84, 78, & 81
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Time to explore the new floors, and come across new and old faces + memories. And to remember ones that disappeared.
Warnings: Possible P4 spoilers in comments. Also the fact feels are often a thing.
Floor 48
After stringing together Reno and Elena's wedding present, Yu had realized that there were still two left over. Maybe it was a good thing then, that he'd kept them in his trunk. Because when he woke up one morning, when he was listening to the voice at the back of his mind going through his social links... he noticed something.
Alice didn't feel as strong.
Before he realized it, he was heading down in the elevator (it was a longer ride than usual; he'd have to check the new floors later), and then the stairs to the graveyard. Soon he stopped at the long string of "Arisato" tombstones and noticed one in particular.
"...So you went back, after all."
His voice didn't really betray much, if anyone did hear him. Instead he merely stared down at the name and likely whispered a prayer of well-wishes and luck, however meaningless it may be, before silently placing a blue origami crane at the base of the stone.
'...I'm sorry, Thanatos. I couldn't help him like I promised you.'
It takes a moment, but eventually he pulls himself away to look for another name.
'...Legion.'
Floor 100
So it had been a few days, and he'd decided to explore some of the new floors instead of simply taking the elevator down to a floor close to his usual hangouts. So when he decided to simply take the stairs after the first dorm floor, he couldn't help but stop himself when he saw what Floor 100 became. It was...
Home...
Not just any part of Inaba, but the Dojima's living area. The shoe area, the small kitchen, the small dining table that ended up mostly used for either cooking or work Dojima-san brought home from work, and the little table and futon they'd sit at to watch TV together in the evenings when he and Nanako didn't have homework. It was all there, even down to the exact pattern on the floor cushions.
Yu stared at it in stunned silence for a moment, before he realized his hand went right through what, if this place were really the Dojima residence, would be a wall.
... After standing there for a few more moments to take the facts in, he simply turned and walked away. At least, if he wasn't approached.
Floor 96 (Not really an option, buuuut...)
He kept climbing down and, okay. Even at that blinding white he had to shield his eyes. Wha-?
...Oh. It's an empty room.
...
> You decide to leave it be.
Floor 84
...Oh, he loves this floor. He loves it so much that if he could stay the night in here without worrying the rest of his team, he probably would. You see, he found a camera while he was looking around. And it's kind of in his bag right now as he seems to be building something. And that something seems... kind of tall.
...Why does some of it look like legs with stitching on it? Well, you'll likely find out if you keep watching or ask while he climbs back down the ladder to get more materials. (Spoilers: It's likely someone most of the Tower hates.)
Floor 78
...Well, this is interesting. After all the madness of going through, trying to get gifts to people... now they think of adding a mail room? Well, it makes sense, but he's almost worried if he ends up receiving one and the "letters" begin anew.
Okay, maybe he'll stop being paranoid with Nanako and Adachi in the same helltower when pigs fly. Until then, he may just linger here for a moment.
Floor 81
So Yu stopped on the beginning of the fifth block before heading up again, deciding to be a bit more on the adventurous side to see just what was below. ...Damn, that's pretty high up and a lot of fog down below.
Yes, he can be someone to point out the obvious in a ridiculously dry humor sort of manner. He's just going to stare down and then above at the stars with his max courage stat... like a boss.

[So... Yu was gone. It's a slightly weird thought. They might be best friends, but Yosuke doesn't exactly keep tabs on Yu. After all, Yu's their fearless leader! He's never thought to be too worried about him. Part of him just assumed that whenever Yu wasn't around he was somewhere lounging on a throne whilst Rise wore scanty outfits and hand fed him grapes]
[... okay, maybe not exactly that, but something close!]
[Either way, Yu's behavior makes a little more sense, but...]
So... I get that it's awkward and weird because you're gone, and I know that what you guys see back home isn't good. [He's talked to Naoto, thank you]
But I don't get it. I figured that'd make you want to talk to her more, even if you have to pull a me and just... say whatever comes out.
no subject
Not that he'd mind that, truth be told, but--Okay that really wasn't the point right now. He's too busy listening to answer right away, but when Yosuke so much as suggests he pull a him, he can't help the faint smile.]
...I do. Believe me, I tried finding her on my own, but when I got back... I found out a friend received a warning 'letter.' ...And no, it's not from Adachi.
[He gives Yosuke a look. It's the same look he always gets when they're on a case and dammit he's turning into Dojima-san simply for trying to dig for information on his own, isn't he.
At least he was successful?]no subject
What kind of warning letter? From the admins?
no subject
No. One of the other "rescued." He couldn't tell me much without talking in code, either.
[....One he kind of came up with on the spot, but hey; he's nothing but an improviser.]
...Remember the blind date last year? Who I was paired up with?
['She's one of the targets, and I can't be much clearer in case he's using magic to listen in.']
no subject
[... but then again, knowing that it isn't an admin is a bit of a relief. And the more he thinks about it, the more he's feeling confident. After all, no matter how powerful the thing is, there's a few built in downfalls to the tower. There are places that powers won't work in the slightest, and in those places, everyone's on a level playing field. Besides, what could one of them do that's any worse than what the admins put them through?]
[In the end, there's nothing for him to do but shrug]
Try not to sweat it too much, Partner. Any idiot who acts up is bound to get knocked down one way or the other.
no subject
...Izanami wasn't.
[Granted, she was trying to help in her own way, but it in some cases did more harm than good. Not to mention the reason Ruana attended the wedding was because all of them were curious about what it was about. So if something caught their interest, they might just allow it...]
I don't know why, but there's just something I can't shake about this one.
no subject
Well... I can get being freaked out that someone might try something, but think about it. A warning letter?
Someone who'd try that is someone who wants their actions to be obvious. If they try and pull anything, we'll know pretty easily. And then it's as simple as kicking their ass!
Right, partner?
no subject
Or think they can pull it off without consequences. [Because really, where had they heard of this before?
He smirks a bit. It's nice, being able to talk to the others again.]
They won't know what hit 'em.
no subject
[It's nice being the voice of confidence again, even without much to back it up. But then, that's always been his job, right?]
[But then with that matter dealt with so definitively it brings him back to Saki and his angel and damn if he knows what to say about that]
So... yeah!
now that desktop likes this thread... (also keywords)
Yosuke, you do not know how much he missed you being the voice of confidence. Seriously. He was starting to wonder if he had to do all the dumb stuff on his own if you weren't going to be the one to either start it or endorse and jump on the train with.
And they're back to square one of this conversation, which left--]
Whatever you do, don't date them both at the same time.
[Or if you do, never let them meet. Seriously, it's a baaaaad idea.]
