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.

[The two have this habit of bumping into each other, don't they? Though it's a little strange to not be in their usual place. Yosuke had been exploring as carefully as he could manage, and found himself face to... leg with his partner's half finished effigy. He's not normally one to interrupt the creation of a work of art, but... just this once, he makes an exception]

Well, it doesn't look like you're building a statue in my honor, but there's still time to fix that!

[Narukami probably noticed Asch before the redhead comes up next to him on the glass swell. Fearless? Nope, just doesn't give a fuck.]

Nice view of the stars, at least.

[He should drag a beanbag over, though, he's going to get a crick in his neck. from staring up.]
princeofjunes: (subdued smile)

WHERE IS HIS SHRINE

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2013-02-04 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Partner, there is a missed opportunity here. You could have built some sort of machine to automatically kick him in the nuts. A nut kicking machine! It would have won prizes from the scientific community! A technical marvel! The 11th wonder of the world!]

Well... I guess I can, but my monument better be twice as awesome.

[Yosuke goes to help gather some materials - because what are best friends for other than backbreaking block-related labor?]

But... do you mind if we talk while we work? There's some stuff that's happened.

[Hey, it'll be a more interesting death than fonon separation, at least? Besides, he did kind of like flying, once upon a griffon.]

I don't suppose you recognize any of them?

[And without waiting for an answer yup he's getting a beanbag. Only good thing about the Tower, okay?]
boxingemperor: (Are you serious?!)

[Hopefully he wouldn't bump into the disheveled person who had happened upon the 100th floor some time after him as he prepared to leave.]

[Okay, well Ken was looking for something to distract himself with, but...]

... Is that who I think it is?

[He can't help but grin. Yu, why yu do this.]

boxingemperor: (Hey.)

[personal profile] boxingemperor 2013-02-04 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Narukami? You're still here.

[And he looks to be in good shape. Seeing a familiar face is reassuring. He hasn't seen many yet since his return.]

That's good.

[He looks like he wants to say more, but then he catches a glance of the room.

Is that the lounge at the dormitory? It's as if he just walked through the front doors. The check in desk to his left, all of the couches and the TV to the right. A door to the kitchen in the back, and the stairs upward...

He steps closer, squinting.]
princeofjunes: (um...)

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2013-02-04 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I deserve at least platinum!

[BUILD HIS SHRINE TO THE HEAVENS! ... or not, either way]

Well, you remember when stuff went crazy in the tower? ... most recently? [He hates that he has to specify] We thought we'd been here a long time?

[He heads up the ladder behind Yu with supplies of his own - wooo passing shit up a ladder!]

Well, stuff... happened. Kind of.

[New floors mean exploring and gauging how useful, or dangerous, they are.

But when he step onto this floor, he blinks and looks around.

It's the SEES dorm.

Minato slowly walk closer, staring at the building with a carefully controlled stoic expression.

Of all things to see...

He only turn his attention away slightly when Minato sense Yu nearby. Or rather, his Social Link with him do.

(speaking of social links mot isn't quieter and quieter)

...Yu?

[Did someone say mysterious and creepy letters? Because by the way a certain elder Princess of Hyrule (who hasn't exactly been showing her face recently) is standing in front of Box 0001, staring intently at a small piece of paper with a bit of writing on it, it looks as though she's received one.

She doesn't seem to notice Yu nearby.

> ...
> Approach?]

[Which was "not painful at random moments" so hey - ]

Didn't think so.

[But it was worth a sho-]
bloodyashes: (Incoming fon call)

[personal profile] bloodyashes 2013-02-04 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ - SPEAKING OF FONON PAINS.

It's a good thing he already pulled the beanbag over, because Asch is now going to kind of crumple into it, clutching his head in pain. Damnit, this is getting more frequent...]
boxingemperor: (Hey.)

[personal profile] boxingemperor 2013-02-04 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Support is good. He needs to remind himself it's not a crutch sometimes, but he's good not to fall back to that mindset.

His hand went through? Another illusion? Akihiko decides to test it out for himself. Sure enough, there's nothing there. It's like a reflection in the water, except that it doesn't ripple away when you touch it.

That hurts, especially after what he saw these last few weeks.]


I should've known it was too good to be true.

Did you see your home too?

V/V spends a lot of time on this floor. It feels nostalgic, in a kind of sad sort of way.

"Are you afraid of falling? I'm pretty sure you're safe," she says. "I've been where you are lots of times and never fallen."
