Trial 1: WHO SAID STEAK?!

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Meanwhile at the Impetus Tower... 

The entire place was silent, and the hallways are empty. One could seriously hear a pin drop from doors away. But then...

BAM!

A small figure of a young woman in green bursts out of the door, flying out of the room feet first. Theme music go!]

Hwataaaa! Nice try, but you kidnapped the wrong person, whoever you are!

[She did not realize her journal was open, and following her around. So whoever had their journals open would hear a loud noise that sounds like a shotgun blast]

I have no clue. I'm in a hallway, with lots of doors...

Urgh, whoever did this would pay!

[scoring]

Okay...I think you're in the castle, then. Can you see any numbers on the doors?

I don't know about that, unfortunately.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Uh, okay. [Chie exhaled and looked at the number on the door next to the room she bursts out from]

This room number is 1612. The next is 1613, then 1614.

[scoring]

You are high up. Okay...head down the stairs until you reach a large lobby. I'll be waiting for you there.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

O-okay! I'll be there in no time!

[Chie ran around the floor until she found the stairs. She ran down as quick as she could without breaking a sweat. All that training paid off a bit, she thought. But being inside a castle, and going from floor to floor, it brought back memories... But for now, all she wants is to meet up with her best friend, and maybe she would explain things...]

[scoring]

[ Here's hoping. Yukiko is almost as much in the dark as her still, but she knows her way around enough to get from her room to the lobby in good time. Whenever Chie gets there, Yukiko will be sitting on a couch, hands folded over her journal in her lap. ]

[Panting after running down more stairs than she hoped, Chie scanned the lobby to look for a familiar face. And there she was, Yukiko, just as she remembered. Chie called out to Yukiko from afar while waving as ran toward where Yukiko is sitting]

Yukiko! Hey!

[scoring]

Chie...

[ She gets up right away, smiling widely. Having Rise around was good, but there's something about her best friend that really makes things shine. Yukiko crosses the rest of the distance in quick steps. ]

Thank goodness. You're really here.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie immediately gave Yukiko a hug once she got closer]

Yeah I am, and I still can't believe it to be honest. Have you seen anyone else in here or is it just us?

[scoring]

Rise-chan and Nanako-chan are here too. It looks like that's about it, for now.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Rise-chan and Nanako-chan too? Dojima-san must be worried sick with her missing again...

[scoring]

Thankfully, he won't be. While we're here, time stops back at home.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Really? Oh my god, that's a relief. How did you know all this, Yukiko?

[scoring]

Rise-chan filled me in, mostly. I owe a lot to her.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

So she's been here longer than we did? [Duh doy!]

[scoring]

Mm. At least a few months.
