Redi Domum

[stringmods]

Who: The missing visitors and you. Open to everyone.
Where: MAGI Labs
Summary: After being violently removed from the Tower of Animus, everyone is returned 'home'.
Warnings: None

There was a tight clench behind your navel, the sensation of something dragging you through the fabric of time and space itself... it was an unpleasant sensation, almost sickening. Those of Hinoto-Ri had vanished from the tower completely when the clock struck midnight from what had just happened, removed from that reality. It had happened with such abruptness that it was downright disorienting to observe. There was no chance for a hurried goodbye, no chance of even letting out a surprised scream...

Those of Hinoto-Ri were dragged back to their own world with very little grace, and for a dizzying and wild thirty seconds, they suffered from the sensation of thick tentacles grasping and yanking their bodies this way and that through a swirling blur of matter. Where were they going? What had caused this?

After those sickening moments that seemed to last far longer, they were unceremoniously shoved out of the Shining Trapezohedron in a stream of bright lights, and into what looked like a giant room filled with computer screens. At least it didn't appear to be the Mictlan, like when the other group had returned.

Pray that you weren't on the bottom of the pile...

Now there was a quiet hum, as an alarm went off. Lights shone brightly upon you as scientists outside were running scans to determine you weren't harmful from your trip. That left you time to think.

You had finally met him...

Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. He'd taunted some of you, shown you another world you had been sent to save...but in the end, nothing much had changed. Perhaps there was small solace that it was still standing and not completely obliterated as had been his plan. The questioned remained, however...

Where was He now? ...you could figure that out later. There were reunions to be had first.

For once, Minako basically agrees with both Kazuya's statement and the way he says it.

"Did you drop something...?" She asks, hoping for an innocent answer to this situation.

[otakuro]

"Kazuya!"

He whirls at the sound of the voice with a smile... that quickly fades when he sees who's standing next to his best friend. Of course it would be Minako; he wasn't already embarrassed enough.

They have caught him practically naked. Self-consciously, Atsuro raises a hand to his head and tries in vain to smooth down his horrific hat-hair.

"Uh... Yeah! ...Yeah, I did."

[belfire]

Kazuya released Atsuro's waistband, and placed his hands on his hips instead. Hat hair? Wait- that meant Atsuro's hat was gone!!!

"...you have hair?"

Okay, he was kidding, but it was still bizarre as fuck to see Atsuro without his iconic hat.

[greatseal]

Minako is more used to seeing hat-loving people occasionally without their hats, but wow that's a pretty bad case of hat hair. Does Atsuro even brush his hair before he gets dressed in the morning?

"Want some help finding your hat?" That's clearly what was worth scrabbling about on the ground for.

[otakuro]

No. No he does not. To be fair, most days did not involve facing Nyarlathotep, evil fog, dragons, and tentacle-aided dimensional hopping so he can be forgiven for not looking his best. Atsuro continues to hold one hand on his head with a crestfallen expression as if that is at all helpful.

"You can see my bangs all the time, sheesh." Maybe it's Maybelline. Or maybe it's laziness.

"And, uh, yeah! I'd appreciate it. ...Thanks."

[belfire]

"Ahhh...I just want to go to bed..." Kazuya mumbled under his breath, but he cracked his knuckles and started to carefully push some people aside as he focused on the floor, looking for Atsuro's wayward hat. It was probably going to have footprints on it, or scuffed up, but so long as they found it, right?

He paused suddenly though, and turned on Atsuro with a strange sort of intensity.

"...hey, are you okay?"

[greatseal]

Minako meanwhile, is both trying to shoo people away from the area and searching for the hat. She glances over her shoulder at Kazuya when he asks that question. Did this go back to the "horror tower" business?

[otakuro]

"Huh?"

He glances up at Kazuya with a slight expression of guilt on his face for a few moments before it quickly changes to an easy smile. No need to get Kazuya worried about what had actually transpired in the tower....

"Y-Yeah! I'm... fine. It was weird; we were traipsing around that maze when we got pulled back here again..." A short pause. "Everything alright with you?"

((I am so sorry about my lateness to both of you. You're welcome to not continue with the thread; I can't promise to be able to respond in a timely manner, so it's not a problem at all. Sorry about this. =( ))

[belfire]

((hey it's fine by me, Wighty uvu I know how busy you are, and I backtag to infinity BU ))

"..." Not at all, but like he was going to say that. He was relieved that Atsuro seemed okay, at least. Not too shaken up, in any case.

"Hahah, come on, Atsuro," he said, grinning wickedly as he straightened up, cupping his chin in a stereotypical 'pretty boy' pose. "That stuff was nothing for an awesome King like myself."
