Yotsuba and...

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!~
Setting: Dorm room 1-03 and the dorm floors.
Format: Prose, but I'll match you.
Summary: A very shaken Yotsuba returns the the Tower and tries to find the people she knew so that she can 'warn' them and get some answers as to what happened to her.
Warnings: Yotsuba will be crying here. Seeing a dead father that you love dearly will do that. Information as to what she saw can be found on her profile.

When Yotsuba woke up, she wasn't expecting to be in a bed. Scared, she sat up and tried to think as to where she was, since she had forgotten a little bit, since so much time had passed, and since she had seen so many terrifying things. Remembering, and not bothering to read the the notes she had been given or look in her trunk, she got out of bed and carefully wandered into the hall. Her destroyed world had been terrible..and lonely. She didn't want her Daddy to be like that! She didn't want it at all..so she had to tell everyone so that they could come up with a plan and help him!

But just thinking about it had started to make her cry, and she didn't stop as she rushed about the dorm hallways, crying out, hoping to find someone she knew. Of course, if she bumped into someone else, that would be nice too, but..right now, her mind was going to the people here she knew and loved.

"L-Luci! Dia?! E..Enoch?! Zett! Romeo?! Mr..Mr Edgey?! Rick?! Are you guys here?! Help!"

Of course, to people she hadn't met, she would just look like a scared little kid that had just arrived. To people that knew her though..this would be a bittersweet homecoming of sorts.

There. Zett grinned and pulled Yotsuba's small hand, leading her into the sauna where Enoch was.

"Surprise~?"

Oh, Zett didn't have to pull. When Lucifel called out, she rushed into the sauna with Zett and cried out, smiling at Enoch. It was great to see him again! The bees knees!

"It's me, Enoch! I'm back, I'm back! Are you okay?! I'm sorry for making you super worried!"

If Enoch wasn't lying in the sauna, she would have jumped in to give him a big hug. But it would have been bad to get her clothes wet, and she didn't have a bathing suit, so she didn't.

"Surprise." Lucifel then put a hand on Yotsuba's head, patting it a few times. Hopefully it was a good surprise to the scribe.

There was no need to jump in on his behalf - he was climbing out to grab Yotsuba in a powerful hug, never mind that he was all wet.

"Yotsuba..."

"We just ran into her a couple minutes ago," Zett explained, standing a little apart from the hug. "We thought you should be the first to know."

He'd had as bad a breakdown as Zett, if not worse. It was only fair.

Not that Yotsuba was one to really care about getting wet. After all, she loved the water, so she just laughed a little as she returned Enoch's hug. She didn't care that it was a strong hug either. After all, she could use all the hugs she got at this point.

"But he wasn't the first to know, Zett! He's the third! You were first, and Luci was second! Are you okay now though, Enoch?! I missed you and Luci and Zett and everyone else a whole lot!"

It's been a while since he saw Enoch somewhat happy in this place. But he understood that even better by now. The feeling of being happy over someone you thought to be lost to return.

Behind Yotsuba's back, one of Enoch's hands massaged the other. He looked up at the other two.

"You should all join me. The water will be even more relaxing with company."

He's sure to be able to really relax with people to talk to instead of having to try to loosen up listening to Eleven screaming all the time. (He wondered if Zo was all right...there hadn't been any reply to his request.)

"Wouldn't dream of leaving, uncle."

Zett's not thinking of waterlogging his clothes, but he doesn't mind hovering around the edges and talking, especially knowing how hard it is for Enoch to find a way to rest with the screaming going on.

..Since it seemed that it would be alright if she went in without any swimwear, Yotsuba just nodded, still smiling and holding onto Enoch. Since she was still wearing her white newbie suit-as she hadn't bothered to change her clothes before running around and looking for help, she wouldn't have to worry about her shoes or things like that.

"Okay! Yotsuba will! Pull me in, Enoch! And..can I talk about the bodies later?"

While Lucifel had told her that they would talk later about it, she wanted to know if Enoch knew and if there was some way they could help, and since she wasn't sure if she could talk now, she was asking if she could talk later. Probably after this bath.

"As in taking a bath as well. Without clothes but with a towel." That's how Lucifel had understood it at least, Enoch was free to correct them on this. And should he be right then he would take them back to the changing rooms.

The bodies. The moment they're mentioned, Enoch goes eerily quiet. The memories are sharp and clear, as if they can never be repressed again. Enoch lets go of Yotsuba and straightens up to look at Lucifel, only a flinch giving away that his neck still hurts.

"...Yes. That's what I meant."

"You can talk about whatever you want later. But right now, let's celebrate that you're back, okay?"

Zett hasn't been back to his world yet, so he can still talk about what's gone on there with calm.

Since Yotusba was in a pretty happy and calm state now, she could talk about it without worrying too much. While she hadn't heard the word 'celebrate' before, she got the jist of it and nodded at Zett.

"Okay..but where are the towels then?"

"I thought so..." His words weren't solely meaning that he knew he had been right, but that Enoch still was dealing with that experience he had made when he had been sent back briefly. But Yotsuba couldn't have known that, so he wouldnt bring it up here.

Instead Lucifel made a quick flick with his fingers and handed her a towel. "I got one for Yotsuba."

"You should go to the changing rooms, so you can put your things in your lockers..."

Enoch spoke with a forced calm, not taking his eyes off of Lucifel. He was the only one who really knew, wasn't he?

He turned to slip back into the hot water, and to wait for them to change and come back.

"Just a second." Zett headed for the changing rooms, to get dressed as fast as possible. He and Yotsuba weren't that close of siblings, after all...

When he finished changing he came back out with a smile. "It's Yotsuba's turn."

While Zett rushed out and changed, Yotsuba happily took the towel that Lucifel had created and smiled up at him. While she had been rather distressed before, the company was helping her immensely, and Lucifel's tricks were always awesome in her eyes.

"Thank you, Luci! And Yotsuba will!~"

..And with that, Yotsuba politely did her best to wait. While she wanted to quickly change and hop into the bath of sorts, she knew that it wouldn't be good if she ran in while Zett was changing. But, when he came back, she smiled and nodded at him before running out and into the changing room. It didn't take her long..but she wasn't quite familiar with a locker or how they worked, so she just running back in with a towel around her and her newbie suit in her hands.

"Yotsuba's back!~ The towel feels nice and soft! Can I hop in now?!"

"You're welcome." That just left him. But since Lucifel didn't want to waste time it only took a flick of his fingers to have himself changed in a towel.

As for Yotsuba's newbie suit... couldn't they just toss that one into a trash bin?

"You should get in slowly, Yotsuba. The water's hot."

Other than that, Enoch didn't offer much else. He's glad to have the others with him. It's enough to have them exist around him, for now.

Zett climbs in carefully, before relaxing against the wall.

"He's right. It feels really good after a second, though."

As Enoch and her honorary second big brother gave her advice, and and Lucifel pulled off another amazing trick, Yotsuba moved her newbie suit so that she was only holding it with one hand so that she could try and hold one of Lucifel's hands with her free one. If he allowed her to, she would quickly reply to her family and friends.

"Okay! I'll be careful! Being burned is really painful!"

And then she would carefully step into the water, one foot in at a time, all while pulling Lucifel in with her, if he had decided to go along with her. As she got used to the water, she looked a little puzzled..before smiling happily.

"You're right! It's nice and toasty!"

Yeah, I doubt any of us would like Yotsuba being cooked." He allowed her to take his hand and also to drag him along, watching that he wouldn't trip or anything the like. Did she just take the suit with her? Oh well.

"Nice and toasty?"

If she did attempt to take the suit with her, Enoch would gently pull it from her hands to set it on the edge of the bath instead.

"Were you given any clothes when you returned, Yotsuba?"

"The newbie suit isn't very warm and winter is coming."

Not that his clothes were much warmer... but he wouldn't just say 'the admins made it, it's gross'.
