Please get to the lowest floor you can. If you want to stay on the terminals, floor three has them - otherwise I'd recommend the cafeteria on floor one. If you can walk, then do so instead of using the elevator.

[Short and simple.]

[alephbet]

[Too late. Now where is she...?]

[Action]

[technologic]

[Ugh dammit. But if he keeps looking he'll find her on floor 27 and about to head further up.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

April.

[Guess who looks ready for a fight.]

Are you going to come quietly?

[Action]

[technologic]

[April is about to reply, though she's stopped by a violent tremor and an odd, twisted sound in the air.]

... There isn't a lot of time left, so stop wasting it and get downstairs. [Translation: No.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

[Aleph sighs and summons his demons. (Minus Mara.)]

Very well. I apologize in advance for the bruises.

[He gives the nod to his demons, who, without further warning, attack in sync.]

[Action]

[technologic]

[April sighs to herself, and her eyes take on the glow for when she uses her powers.

This is when a large barrier of electricity appears around her and- hey, did one of his demons get sent back to his terminal?] Did you forget that I know how your terminal works better than you?

[Action]

[alephbet]

[Aleph grits his teeth.] I'm trying to save you here! If you'd stop being an idiot...

[Okay. Terminal won't help. What about swords. Swords are always good.]

[Action]

[technologic]

I don't need saving! And it doesn't matter if I die or whatever.

[She immediately sends the rest of his demons back, still keeping the electricity barrier up. He'll have to force his way through that first.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

What makes you less worthy of safety than everyone else?

[Fuck electricity barriers. He'll force his way through that if it kills him. Hyyyypocrite.]

[Action]

[technologic]

Because I don't matter! So stop this and just fucking go already!

[April has no intentions of killing him, but he's not getting through yet.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

Not without you, you moron!

[Nope. Not letting up.]

[Action]

[technologic]

You'll be killed too if you keep sticking around, and the this would have all been for nothing. Don't you have friends to watch after?

[Action]

[alephbet]

You are my friend!

[Action]

[technologic]

[Now that gets a pause and the barrier seems to let up slightly.]

... This really isn't the time for jokes, Aleph.

[Action]

[alephbet]

I'm not joking.

[Action]

[imperialsun]

[And as they continue to bicker, they might notice Naoya go back up after helping others go down. He gives them a glance and stops for a few precious seconds.]

Both if you need to move!

[Action]

[technologic]

[April turns her attention to Naoya, and the barrier around her fades a bit more.]

I will when he moves! [Though she plans to move up.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

[Aleph grumbles, and, assuming that she's changed her mind, turns to go back downstairs.] We could have easily avoided this...

[Action]

[imperialsun]

[He is a bit confused at what has been happening to be honest...]

What is going on exactly?

[Say it fast.]

[Action]

[technologic]

He's being stubborn and won't let me go. [And still keeping up the barrier, she heads straight for the stairs heading up.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

April! Stop! [He tries to follow, but he's not going to catch her.]

[Action]

[imperialsun]

[WHAT THE.]

HEY! If you're going up there, we're coming with you!

[Action]

[technologic]

No!

[She stops and almost glares at them over her shoulder.]

I'll go on up, you get downstairs.

[Action]

[alephbet]

I refuse. If you're not going down then neither will I.

[Action]

[imperialsun]

[Wow this is EXACTLY like dealing with his own team members.]

If neither of you are going to back down, I suggest we team up and aid as many others as we can. Arguing who is staying and who is going is just wasting time.

Trust each other. You're friends, aren't you? [Yes, he heard that part and he's going to use it.] That's what friends do.
