> This, Yu Narukami, is Inaba. And it looks next-to-nothing like the way you left it a few days ago. Now? It looks worse. And you knew it would, deep down in your heart, from the moment those Shadows ambushed you on your train out of town.
> No matter how much you wanted to run away from it, there's no escaping the gravity of what you've done. You can't escape the truth...
> You can almost hear that nasally drawl echoing in the back of your head.
"...the truth is a sinister thing."
> You've got nothing to say. Ironic, isn't it? Had you decided not to keep your mouth shut, you wouldn't find yourself in this situation to begin with.
> You exhale uncomfortably, fingers curling grimly around the handle of your metal baseball bat. Beat yourself up later. Right now, you've got more important things to worry about...]
[You should be worried, Narukami. You should be very worried. You see, while you've been gone your friends have been pretty busy. It'd be nice to say that they were busy with a bunch of fun stuff, but that'd be a lie. They weren't busy hanging out or going to the beach. They weren't going to the movies or laughing over something ridiculous that Chie had said. They were busy fighting to protect the entire town, they were busy fighting for their lives.
As he approaches the river, he'll find a very familiar blue hat. One that a certain detective was never seen without. One that was stained with blood.]
[> With a trembling hand, you pick up the bloodied blue cap. You don't want to believe what you see...
> Calm down...
> You don't know for certain that the Shadows got her. Evidence is everything. You, of all people, should know that by now. In fact, upon closer inspection...
> ...It looks like there's a trail of blood! It's a thin, crimson line that stretches alongside the riverbank.
> Clutching the hat as if it were a lifeline, you surge forward and follow the trail, shouting desperately:]
[A small crumpled form laying by the rivers' edge seems to be responding to Yu's calls. A quietly shaking voice just barely audible over the babble of the river begins to speak.]
[The Ambidex Gate has closed. Time is ticking. And you're going to have to make a very important decision, very soon. But hey, it's a good thing you don't have to handle this alone! You're fortunate enough to have been paired off with a partner who knows exactly what he's doing. An earnest, hardworking, reliable---
...Oh. Oh, no. Never mind.
You're partnered up with Dio.]
Hey!
[Dio gives Clover a terse look from the other side of the AB Room.]
Did you hear that? We've only got thirty seconds left to make our decision.
[Clover was already having a bad day. She wound up being an unwilling participant of yet another nonary game. Same ship, same puzzles, same... same everything! The only thing that changed were the people and as if that wasn't bad enough already, her older brother was missing.
It was more than a little surprising when she opened her eyes to find herself in a place that looked nothing like the ship she was supposed to be in. Not to mention now there was some guy in here with her saying something about... wait what?]
... W-what? What are you... Who are you? Where is this?
[There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know.
At least, that's how some might see it. Olivia rather enjoyed lying in the grass and taking in the wide open sky and the fresh air, especially on a clear day like this. It was a good way to relax and just think about life, and life had given her plenty to think about. Lie back and think long enough, though, and you're liable to fall asleep.
Do that, and there's no telling where you might wake up. Perhaps it'll be where you nodded off, perhaps in the back of a police car, perhaps even in a bathtub full of ice, missing a kidney or two.
In this case, it happened that her eyes opened to see the sky over a familiar field in southern Ylisse. Not that she realizes it, at first. A field is just a field, after all.]
[Those other people were probably right in this kind of situation. The situation being, of course, Owain coming across a (seemingly) passed out woman in the middle of a field.
ONE WHO CLEARLY NEEDS RESCUING AMIRITE?
So when she does open her eyes, the first thing she'll see is the sky. The second? Owain's face perhaps a little too close for comfort.]
[Luke should probably know better than to get settled in the park to read. He's been sitting under the same tree since after lunch, buried in the book he brought with him.
He would still be buried in said book if his classmates hadn't wandered over and taken it from him. The boy could be seen arguing with them for a while before eventually surrendering to the fact that they are bigger and taller than he is. Instead of continuing to argue with them, he's going to stay put and sulk under this tree.]
[...To tell the truth, it was kind of a dream of Rise's, to have a normal sleepover with a normal girl friend, and do...well, all the things that normal girls did during normal sleepovers! Watch movies, eat snacks, paint each others' nails, talk about boys...the whole thing, all of that and more!
Naoto just so happens to be the lucky(?) girl that Rise had set her sights on for this night of fun and relaxation, and hopefully some quality girl-time. ♥ So when it got late on a night that they'd ended up studying together at Rise's house, Rise decided to make her move.]
...Say, Naoto-kun...do you wanna just spend the night? It's getting late, and it wouldn't be any trouble... [She offers her best, most winsome smile.] Who knows, it could even be kinda fun!
Naoto had been so engrossed in their task that she hadn't realized just how late it was. She checks her watch at the mention of the time and a brow raises quizzically. How was it that time always seemed to go so fast when she was with Rise?
Honestly, she didn't really feel like walking back home at this hour, but...]
Oh, no, I couldn't. I don't have any of my clothes and I wouldn't want to impose...
Oh, you can borrow some of mine! [Sheeeee might've sounded a little too eager there, it's not like she's wanted to play dress-up with the other first-year girl or anything, nope, definitely not!
Her smile goes a little softer, a little more wistful then: she really wants Naoto to stay...] You wouldn't be imposing at all, honest.
[A sleepover does sound kind of fun. It's something she's never done before and she doubts her Grampa would mind if she spent some more time with a friend.]
[ Smoking is what all the cool kids do nowadays, right? At least, that's what any teenager who's entire exposure to the idea of cool has been through gritty media would be lead to believe. It's iconic of laid back, casual heroes; the ones who always have a sharp remark to accompany their action.
Perhaps it's not surprising that a vulnerable teenager would pick up on that. It's certainly not surprising that a bratty delinquent would the second they could acquire a pack. Meeting all of those expectations, Kyoko stands off to the side in an alley by the apartment she shares with Czes (it was one of the few places she didn't expect to be caught by him or Law. Of the two, she's not sure which would be worse.) It takes a few tries for her to flick the lighter on and a few more to gather up the courage to actually bring it to her lips.
Of course, being a sheltered child who's only exposure has been to second hand smoke, this naturally doesn't end well. There's a series of sputters and coughs as she gags on the resulting smoke. She scrubs her face with the back of her sleeve to wipe off the tears that immediately sprung to her eyes.
Look, if you're going to smoke you better be able to do it right. It's a gross habit to begin with and watching you stand there choking and gagging is just pathetic. Where did you even get those anyway?
[When did he get here? How long has he been here? Why does this always seem to happen to you, Kyoko? It is a mystery, but he's been here long enough to see her look like an idiot, so there's that.]
Kyoko jumps, looking comparable to a dog who'd been caught digging through the trash and only further proving his point by fumbling with and dropping the cigarette, before immediately deflating as he shoots down her efforts. Her shoulders droop. There's an unhappy little grumble in response, ]

THIS CALLS FOR THE HERO OF AN EPOCH

Ah! At last the maiden awakens!

Holy crap, man, a little respect for a girl's personal space!

...What's with the getup? Is it already Comicon time?
Puzzle hat detective friend!
He would still be buried in said book if his classmates hadn't wandered over and taken it from him. The boy could be seen arguing with them for a while before eventually surrendering to the fact that they are bigger and taller than he is. Instead of continuing to argue with them, he's going to stay put and sulk under this tree.]
