AS PROMISED: trap party commence :D

[ocariness]

[ Have an elf just passing through, and--yeah okay what. Why is this person decked out in sword, shield, bow and arrows?

Really.

Also, pointy ears, the whole deal. Tunic, tights, boots, gloves. It's kind of overly elaborate for a cosplay. Link is kind enough to stop and say hi, though! Well... sort of. Hero or no hero, being social? It's just not what they're good at. And usually, people expect things in return, but... maybe the conversation will carry on it's own. For now, Yosuke will be quietly watched for a bit. ]

MY LIFE. IT IS COMPLETE. ... MORE SO!

[princeofjunes]

[Through the self pity and the contemplation, there's not a hell of a lot that could grab Yosuke's attention]

[An elf decked out in battle gear? That'll do it]

[He doesn't pay the newcomer much mind at first, until he notices himself being watched. Rather than take it creepily however, Yosuke's somewhat touched - as far as he's concerned it's probably just another person worrying about this distressed-looking newcomer. So he manages a wave at Link]

If you're worried, I'm okay. Just still adjusting to the whole my-home-might-be-gone thing.

Now we just need a Kanji

[ocariness]

[ Actually, she was kind of concerned, but she's pretty bad at the whole emotions and socialization thing like a detective you might know. If Link is bothered by the heavy amount of armor, she's not showing it; she must be very used to carrying it all over with her. ]

... I see.

[ Pausing. Ah... what does she say? ]

For what small amount it is worth... there have been cases of one's friends arriving after them.

[ Link is a fighter, but she's also pretty quick. If her theory is right, that means their worlds can't be gone. ]

For oh so many reasons

[princeofjunes]

Yeah?

[And now he feels like an idiot - he hadn't even considered that his friends might show up after him. If he'd thought about it he would've realized it, but his emotions got in the way. ... not that he can blame himself for that one]

[But anyway! Good news is good! And it gets him to smile]

That's a good point! There's still hope. I can't just sit here and mope forever.

Thanks, man. I'm Yosuke Hanamura. You?

Yosuke has to be the one to learn she's a girl first. I have decided this.

[ocariness]

[ Nod! That earns a small smile. Haha what is expressing yourself, really. But she is glad Yosuke has cheered up. ]

Link.

[ ... What is it with all you people and having two names, she feels weird. And while she's thinking of it... ]

There might be some difficulties, here. Are you armed?

I am more than okay with this!

[princeofjunes]

[There's another thing that gets his attention. He had brought them out of habit more than anything, but Yosuke now looks unsure as he reaches into his pants and produces his daggers]

Yeah, I'm good. But what did you mean by difficulties, Link?

Awesome. It should prove HILARIOUS later.

[ocariness]

[ Well, let her consider it for a moment... how to explain it? ]

There are "experiments" and many creatures here that are immune or can cancel any magic or special abilities. They aren't present on all floors, but some of them are highly dangerous at night. It would be best to be cautious, even though you will be revived fairly quickly.

[ She's tried other means, bro. The phantoms here and even the local FAUNA are VICIOUS. ]

=D Oh hell yes. This is exciting!

[princeofjunes]

[Shit, they can cancel out magic? Some of the comfort he'd felt when he realized he still felt Susano-o's presence vanishes. But he keeps himself calm. There've been shadows immune to his abilities before. He can just compensate! He's still quick on his feet, and he has his knives - plus he can still heal people]

[Okay. Calm down. He can work with this]

What about the dorm rooms? Are those more or less safe, or do I need to watch my ass 24/7?

/o/

[ocariness]

[ She has NO idea what half your slang means, Brosuke, but... ]

No, you do not. There are a few more dangerous floors than the rest.

[ She supposes she ought to say a bit more--or at least offer to help? And maybe get a piece of heart-- ]

I can answer what I know, if you would like.

[ Even though she heard him say his name, it's... odd, to her. Is Yosuke a title? Or is it his first name? There are quite a few innate problems with being a forest child. ]

\o\

[princeofjunes]

[It's okay, they can have Slang 101 some other time]

[For now, Yosuke's just going to be happy that he found a bro so willing to help him out right off the bat]

Well, why don't we start with the places to avoid going alone? I don't mind a little danger, but I'm not crazy about getting torn to pieces either.

[ocariness]

[ Well, it's a brotag thing, man. Look at Souji! She looks thoughtful for a moment, before pulling out a piece of parchment.

... Blank, ye olde style map, yeah. Link sure has been trying to fill it out some. ]

If I recall, the most dangerous places have been Floor 11 at night time due to the Phantoms, Floor 17 I would avoid completely at all costs, and Floor 6 is dangerous if you leave the stairs.

[ She isn't sure about the others because even for a dungeon crawler like her, she didn't feel safe going alone in some of the... odder... places. ]

There are terminals in most places, though I confess that I am not the best person to ask about... technology.

[princeofjunes]

[Technology, huh? Now there's something he can do! Though it's not surprising hearing that it's Link's Achilles heel - most people in the digital era don't carry around a bow and arrows]

That's something I can help with, if you want. I'm pretty good with technology.

But that aside... I wonder if we should put together exploration parties or something. Even if it's dangerous, it might not be so bad with a group.

[ocariness]

[ Yosuke, she blew up the first terminal she saw. Of course, chickens do not belong on keyboards and beeping was bound to ensue, so she kind of put an arrow in it.

Let us hope you are REALLY good at teaching people. ]

That may not be a bad idea. I'd be willing to help.

[ Link kind of screams "hi I go into dungeons all the time", anyway, so going into the unknown was nothing new. ]

[princeofjunes]

[As long as she doesn't blow up his MP3 player, he can be patient. Probably]

Really? Alright, then you'll be the first person I find if I start seriously planning something. [okay second or Naoto will lineface forever]

[He pauses for a moment as something occurs to him]

Jeez, listen to me. I almost sound like some kind of leader. I guess Souji rubbed off on me more than I thought.

[ocariness]

[ I make no promises Oh she'll try not to, Brosuke. Don't worry.

Link is used to the lone wolf thing, to be honest, so it's odd to be doing stuff with anyone else, but there is one thing she DOES know... ]

Anyone can lead if they have the courage. It's not a gift everyone possesses, however.

[princeofjunes]

[Anyone, huh? Is it something he really has the courage for? Yosuke can't help but second guess himself - he's the advisor type, right?]

[Stupid brain...]

What about you, Link? You ever had to wear the leader hat before?
