t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began.[Akira can understand that. The Phantom Thieves are a family, too; it's just that they need a leader to make decisions, and somehow that became Akira.]
...Most of them would be. But one of them isn't.
[And he's made it known.]
And I guess it's hard to be proud of myself, too.

Mm. I will.
[He can't think of anything he needs right now, though. And Guren has already done enough for him today, anyway.]
You should go back. You probably have other people to check on.
[He picks up the food he's left sitting aside. He's going to eat, see!]

Indeed. We'll give Ruga a throughout search... and if we see anything unusual, no matter how small, we must speak up.
So you like her, in other words...
[Musingly!! But he can take a hint, it's fine.]
Got it. I'll make sure to eat this and be hydrated, too. [He can't say he's used to handling the ocean, but dragging people down just isn't an option.]
I won't hold everyone back.

Sorry to make you have to keep carrying out the rescue duty, even though you've already found us.
[ She'd love to wreak havoc, but having her ability dampened isn't allowing for much. ]
But I'll stick with you, Minato-kun!

[ Lupin nods a bit. There's nothing wrong with thinking about things - but overthinking can make things too complicated when the right answer should be clear, in his opinion, at least. Not everyone agrees with him; that's why he clashes with the law. But he's fairly sure that Akira agrees with him.
It's the truth that even the best-laid plans sometimes fall apart; he doesn't hold that against him at all. He only wishes he'd been able to figure out where he was sooner. He's one of the few adults in town - he ought to be a little more responsible, even if he's not used to it. ]
Akechi and not me? I see how it is. [ he's teasing. ] You're right, though. He was going crazy when you disappeared. I didn't realize the two of you were so close.

[SO MANY POSSIBILITIES...]
We'll only really be able to tell if we figure out who's missing... I think I know a handful [ha, understatement] of the people here, so I should be able to tell who's missing if we look around.
[A beat.]
Though that's...a good point...
[...HOPEFULLY NOBODY THINKS HE'S GONE AND PANICS]

[...Ah.
Ah... quietly, more to himself than anything:]
Is that how it is...?
[He thinks he gets it now, startling as that initial impression was. Quietly, he clears his throat--if Caramia is gone, then Kyrie's pendant...]
... Sorry, I was just... um, a little surprised by something. It's good to see you safe and sound though. Really, it is.

[ at that, he nods, giving Minato the best reassuring smile he can muster. ]
Of course we will. We always do, don't we?
[ even after being here for months, his confidence hasn't wavered. ]
I suppose the forest is the first place we should check.

Sometimes your heart knows better than your head does, you know.
[ they most likely do not know... but that's fine. He's sure they'll figure it out eventually. Lupin's arms are about ready to fall off, too, by this point, but fortunately, Cairn's house appears on the horizon, and he hurries towards it. ]
Almost there. Let's hope the rest of you made it back before I did.
[ if he has to do this again carrying their legs he'll probably pull something!! For now, though, the only thing he's pulling is the front door open. ]

...Yeah. [ there's a pause. ] Three people. I mean, there's three other people from the same place as me, if not the same time. My best friend since I was a kid, my alternate universe brother, and my best friend's alternate universe dad.
[ homestuck! ]
All three of them aren't here anymore. I know at least Egbert is alive, but...

Young man!
[The voice is Kei's and seeing the other Persona user shaking but still using his last remaining energy to fight increases his own resolution to destroy these creatures as fast as possible. In a flash of light Vishnu appears above him and he casts a healing spell on the teenager; perhaps not healing him in full, but hoping this will help in some way replenish some of his energy.
Then with that done, it's time to show them what it really means to mess around with Persona users, especially ones cornered in this manner.]
Your ice attack...do it again! We can merge our spells together!
[Vishnu's hands suddenly let off steam, readying an ice spell in it's clawed fingers. He would wait for the other to go first. ]

And they're lookin' for us like we all vanished? [ there's a faintly irritated sigh. ] It'd be cool if that weren't so probable. Because...like, yeah? That's a possibility. Hell, they could even be posting to the forums looking for us, but we're in alternate realities so we can't see...
[ it's a useless possibility to think about, really. what can they do about that? ]
Isn't there a girl who can rip open holes to other realities? I mean. I don't think it's workin' properly, but...

And if not at least we tried? [ a quiet huff of air that might have been a laugh in better times. ] ...I mean. We all started getting sick when they disappeared, right? I kind of feel like the fairy tale cure is maybe staring us straight in the eyes.
[ they're maybe still swaying and dave is maybe still leaning against minato like minato's in any better position to hold him up. ]

Don't worry, Minato-kun. I'm sure you're delicious to someone.
[ very straight-faced and reassuring, no less. ]

Hm, perhaps... "You're not allowed to leave, without writing a note first."
