Game 04 | Life is Ours, We Live it Our way
Characters: Jonouchi & Others
Setting: All week - floors 81, 14, 57, 18
Format: I'll match
Summary: His power of friendship becomes toxic.
Warnings: General angst, maybe death?
[Floor 81, Lounge (Sun-Wed)]
[Jonouchi had definitely noticed the shadows sneaking about the tower, but then again, it wasn't like they tried all that hard to keep their presence hidden from him. Even before coming here, Jonouchi had a natural aversion to anything the tower presented him with. It was only expected that he was paranoid beyond reason and constantly frightened by these shadows. The fact that they spoke softly further challenged his level of comfort. He often spent a lot of his first days around the lounge where other people could be found just so he wouldn't feel so vulnerable having the shadows stalk him. Though it appeared he wasn't the only one experiencing this problem.]
[Floor 57, Sports Field (Tues-Thurs)]
[Jonouchi was on the soccer field, but not for a game, just to simply lie on the grass. Was he really losing his mind? Is the tower finally starting to break his spirit that he had tried so hard to keep hold of. The blonde wanted to be hopeful, and optimistic, but was that foolish of him for trying?
Laid out on the grass he was staring at the sky ignoring the taunts and calls of the shadows that had been stalking him since it started. He was nearly doing a good job until they gradually grew louder, and more familiar.
"Brother, I can never see your face again…all I wanted was to see you, but now I never can because of you."
The voice alone caused him to jolt up from his attempted form of relaxation. He jerked around and stood on the grass.]
Shi-Shizuka? Shizuka, where are you?! SHIZUKA!
[His…his sister!]
[Floor 14, Media Room (Wed-Fri)]
[It seemed as if, the longer things drew out, the worse they got. Jonouchi found it hard to find comfort being around others, that he resorted to his normal safe haven he claimed when he first got here: the media room. Or perhaps it was influenced because of a specific voice.
"I trusted you, Jonouchi-kun. You broke our promise!"
An an eerie tone only familiar to Jonouchi-kun because he was the only one from his world.]
Yuugi?
[He shuffled around, confused. Jonouchi could have sworn he was here, and the voice almost condescending. It was something he had never imagined from his friend. Maybe the media room wasn't a good idea.]
[The following say he kept swearing Yuugi was here and Yuugi was calling to him, but every time his friend spoke to him, it was only to blame him. Then more voices started to persist.
"How could you do this to us, Jonouchi. What about our friendship?"
"All those times I had your back, and they're wasted, when you can't even have mine.
Now it was as if it were Anzu and Honda were with him as well. If he was quick enough he could actually see his friend, but only in fragments and not their whole person. Like they were fading away from him.]
But…you're wrong..I'm trying to [help you,]
[But what has he really done? Jonouchi didn't have the power to oppose the admins, and the last time he tried, it ended in death. How were they suppose to restore the worlds when they didn't even know how. He was useless to help his friends and he couldn't deny that. The pain driven guilt staked him where it hurt. As a friend.]
[Floor 18, Classroom (Sat)]
[A floor he had never ventured on before until now, yet he couldn't help but feel slightly comforted. How he even managed to make it to a floor this low was to be questioned. It was in a setting he was familiar with, something that held many happy memories for him. A setting where, if he could fix things, it would be something like this but with others to share it with.
"I was dumb to think you could actually change, Jonouchi-kun."
Jonouchi wanted to fight, and to continue fighting, but he just didn't have the energy. The voices continued to drill on him and he couldn't shake them. Without even thinking, he just sat at one of the desks, and stayed there, practically motionless. Now he could just rest, and rest. The blonde was dejected, he couldn't do it anymore. He didn't care to do it anymore. Everything up until now just didn't matter, and the only thing he cared to do was sit here while he was uncertain if the voices and the appearances of his friends and family would ever come to an end.
"Don't tell me you're just going to feel sorry for yourself. Tch, maybe we should have left you with Hirutani. At least then you were where you belonged."]

THE FUN HAS ARRIIIIIVED
[She isn't your Anise! Ion!
Ion looks up at her desperately, more than grateful for the added support of his Guardian. Jonouchi was getting heavier and heavier the further he slipped, and it was all Ion could do not to give out beneath the weight of his friend.]
It's the shadows--they're hitting him really hard!
[Or maybe he's just a better friend. He cares that he let the people he cares about, die. Unlike you.]
We have to help him! I don't know what to do... [He looks from Anise down to Jonouchi again.] Please, hold on! Don't give up!
no subject
[If her voice is a little shrill, it's just because she's worried. It's not easy to see a friend in this kind of condition, especially because she doesn't have the slightest clue how she's supposed to fix it. She doesn't know enough about the collars - about anything in the Tower, really - to know what to do other than just being here.]
You're not allowed to just give up and go to sleep, Jonouchi! There's still a lot we have to do. [Her voice is loud and insistent - like she thinks that by getting his attention and holding it, she can keep him distracted from the horrors following him around. She glances at Ion and it's not possible for her to keep the worry off her face.] Right, Ion? All kinds of things! Come on, get up and I'll carry you all the way up to that floor you like, okay? The one with those video game things? I think we need a rematch, but we can't do that if you fall asleep on us!
THIS ISN'T VERY FUN!
Just as easily as it was to doze, and fall asleep, it was to stop breathing altogether. The blonde probably didn't even knew he let go, it was quiet.]
