anon text (as usual)

[nodeviations]

This post, if people would like to utilize it, can be used to quickly meet up with those you were separated or stranded from during the previous month, as well as ensuring one another of your safety.

This will help ensure that we have one place to check for such correspondences, and will not flood the network with an overabundance of the same sentiment.

You're free to utilize your own means, of course- I simply figured this would be a useful tool, after all that has happened.

Aw, I missed you too OP.

_{[Sincerity, insincerity, who cares.]}

This is a good idea, though. Everybody out there? ....Come out come out?

oh sayak

[nodeviations]

It's the least I could do, really. In light of past events.

Re: oh sayak

[beknightedheroine]

...heh.

_{[No comment, there.]}

So even the formidable and mysterious OP had a rough time of it too, huh?

[nodeviations]

While I am sure your... disappearances were not for a field trip, we were not having a picnic here, either.

I hardly assume it was quite as bad as what you endured, of course.

[beknightedheroine]

I dunno. I'd call it a field trip to hell, maybe. And, let's see, a picnic of..

Hm.

A picnic besieged by giant radioactive monster ants. There we go.

But you'd be the better judge of that, right?

text -> locked

[nodeviations]

One would think. I was keeping far away from the better part of the damages, luckily. Nothing more than a few scratches.

[And yet...he has a fondness for your consistency, dumb girl who is like Norma and Chloe's offspring. So, after a moment, Sayaka receives an additional comment- this one being locked.]

I had someone to take care of. I couldn't go off and leave them to that mess, now could I?

locked

[beknightedheroine]

_{[She's not messed around with locks much, but she - with surprise - respects it.]}

..I getcha. We've gotta stick together around here. _{No matter how much they'll try to turn it around and say, "Oh, we're giving you a point for cooperation!"}

5ever locked

[nodeviations]

Things will improve, but time is short. The sooner we can digest their horrible actions, the quicker we can retaliate and prepare ourselves for the next incident.

This is my goal- but I need information to do this.

but what about 6ever tho

[beknightedheroine]

i think.. i don't know how long it is till he does something, but it's not the worst guy in charge for this month. so, hey, you got SOME time.

fine, 8ever

[nodeviations]

That is assuming they keep honor to one another.

I've managed to gather that a competition took place. However, that doesn't mean the loser will agree to those terms.

8ever is my favorite ever

[beknightedheroine]

hahah.

i'm at least certain the losers aren't gonna do jack, as long as she's paying attention. they were hoppin' to her tune pretty quick.

voice like hell

[lamentless]

Sakaya?!

[He almost fell in to the terminal when he saw you posting here.]

Where are you? Are you okay?

[beknightedheroine]

_{[--Give her a second, she's flicking the voice on herself.]}

It did work! Uh - heya, Roxas. I tried out the first computer I could get to, so - 'm still on the second floor of the dorms.

_{[She sounds shaky, a little - it's only a light, fluttering timbre, but it's there.]}

voice -> action

[lamentless]

I'll be over soon, okay? Sit tight.

[He'd have to be stupid to not notice that weird timbre- he's sort of seen you at your worst a few times now, Sayaka.

But, as promised, he skittered down the hall until he saw the speck of blue hair. She...didn't look maimed or anything horrific, but to say he was on edge...]

I'm glad your back.

[beknightedheroine]

<sub>[It's hard to keep being intermittently silly and snarky people over the network when there's a serious conversation looming her way, so Sayaka spends the time it takes Roxas to get there trying to think - what should she say? What did she want to say?

..ah, plotting all that stuff just feels stupid and fake!

When Roxas shows up proper, Sayaka stares for an uncomfortable while before - screw it. She steps past any stupid weird feelings there might've been caused by this last month and just hugs them out.]</sub>

[lamentless]

[See? He's been trying hard not to get worked up, since he doesn't know what had happened, and Sayaka wasn't gonna wanna talk about it, and he had to do his best to cheer her up because otherwise she'd turn in to that thing again, and he didn't want her to go through that and-

But hugs, they're a thing he understands. And he's reciprocating them, without a trace of awkward- he even cradled the back of her head like a brother would try to.]

It's going to be okay...

[beknightedheroine]

I'm - really glad to be back!

<sub>[And that's an understatement.

She's really glad to be back, and in a tower that's not going to be ruled over by Jason for another month.]</sub>

[lamentless]

[He pulled back, ruffling her hair with a sad sort of laugh.]

You'll take that back in a week, you know. When we're having stupid bars and water for a welcome back feast.

[beknightedheroine]

Hey!

_{[Her first action once she's free of the hug is to try and fix her hair, geez.]}

Ohh, I could just die for that awful cardboard and sawdust taste, though. I think that was the part I missed the most!

mature ways to handle stress: this

[lamentless]

Yeah, I know. I woke up several nights, starving and sweating, just craving that delicious feeling of splinters and granola down my throat.

[When emotionally stressed, MAKE JOKES ABOUT IT!]

Just, try not to. You know, actually...eat them. If you find anything, you might have to be careful because of the radiation.

[filtered to Sayaka] sadly this likely won't happen due to AUkat

[fractus_animus]

... Um.

I'm going to take the time to ask if... we should maybe actually get to know each other outside of a hideous experiment if you were in Jason's pod? I'm guessing you're one of us, but I don't know for sure.

I'm looking for someone so I should probably get back to that after this but...

Is this Sayaka?

[filter] alas

[beknightedheroine]

yup, it's sayaka! and i was uh
yeah, i was there

that sounds like a pretty good idea to me - leaving things on a bad memory always puts this awful taste in my mouth, anyway

[filter] well it can happen once they're, y'know. saner. probably.

[fractus_animus]

... Yeah.

This is Minato. I apologize you had to see me like that--I'm not usually that... warped.

My sister, Minami--she's a normal Persona user. So is Yu Narukami. If you want to know how they should... actually function, you should probably talk to them.

I don't know. I feel like we owe one another enough to actually look out for each other after... that.

[filter] sanity is subjective anyway

[beknightedheroine]

anytime i can help out i'm more than game for it, minato.

and don't worry about it. i've been put in a few pretty bad spots by this place myself, so i think i get it. just ask jin abou

_{[She freezes for a while, because - well, what does she say to Jin? Like hell she's not going to talk to him, but she really needs to think this over so that she doesn't end up just being stupid idiot sayaka all over the place. In the present time, she just endeavors to finish her last sentence and hit send-]}

about it.

[filter] ...... yeah okay with them, very much so. persona+magi, after all-

[fractus_animus]

[ He is quiet on his end as he thinks. He KNOWS Jin will be bad off after right now, but he has to find Minami, so--

...

Well, for now, he figures he... ought to warn her?

... Before he goes running, at least. His typing becomes more rushed the further down he gets since he found a terminal during a frantic search himself. ]

... Jin is a lot like my brother. I'm worried about how he'll take this now that he's back. If I didn't need to find my actual sister who's all I've got, I'd probably go find him now.

My... advice to you is to give him some space. I don't know how his Persona is going to react right now--

Actually that probably holds true for all of us now that i think about it

and i should go find them after i find minami

crap, sorry
