Um, e-excuse me. [Anyone who knows Colette might notice that her voice sounds slightly strained, and there's a pause (almost like she notices it too) and she clears her throat]

I saw one of those monsters, it was outside of the laundry room. But, I didn't get a very good look at it before it disappeared... I'm sorry. Whatever it is, it's really fast! It's black, and not very big, but that's all I could tell.

It might still be in this area, so I'm going to keep looking for it... If I see it again I'll be sure to say something right away. [there's a deeeeeep breath before she sets aside the journal for a second. Phew, she doesn't feel good at all, and it was starting to show in her voice again by the end of that announcement. So she'll just sit down for a moment to collect herself. Bluuuh, space lobsters suck]


[ooc: feel free to respond either over the journal, or in person :) She's just sitting on the floor of the 7th floor hallway! She did get bitten, but it'll take a little while before she's out completely, she's just feeling a bit feverish and sore around the bite-area. Also, this is backdated to a bit earlier in the evening.]

[shadows... can't... bite...

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

[selfless]

Blacky? [wait. no wait... something that hurts? Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no]

Adachi? What happened? Where are you? [she was leaning against the wall but as quickly as she can muster, she pushes herself off the wall and grabs her journal]

[foolreversed]

I...

[and that's when he thinks he sees- no he must've seen it. Blacky doesn't dart around that fast ever.

oh fuck you, you little bastard.]

[foolreversed]

[What Colette can't see: him getting to his knees and clutching his head. Magatsu Izanagi coming out and performing VORPAL BLADE on his entire fucking room just to try and DESTROY THAT THING.

However while she can't see it, she can certainly hear that loud yell of pain Adachi makes SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE as his Persona comes forth to do what it does best. There's a sudden, clean slice through a part of the journal page too. O-Oops..........]

[selfless]

[t-the monster didn't do anything like that when she saw it. What does... oh god what is it doing to Adachi. Just full of fear and panic she stumbles down the hallway. She doesn't know where he is but she needs to find him.

He has to... be alright. She has to find him.]

A-Adachi!

[foolreversed]

[for a few moments he just breathes heavily as Magatsu Izanagi dissipates. Hoooooly shit he has not used his persona since the navy plot WOW THAT HURT LIKE A BITCH???

oh wait... colette heard that...]

...I'm fine.

[he shifts to his feet and picks up the journal]

I'm coming to get you, okay? I just had to exterminate one of those pests first...

[selfless]

Y-You don't sound okay, it sounded like you were in a lot of pain! [asdgklahsdg still freaking out, even though... He fought one of those monsters? But it still hurt him, didn't it?]

You don't have to come to me, I'll come find you. W-Where are you?

[foolreversed]

Oh that- that just... umm...

That was n-nothing! R-Really! And no you should definitely stay where you are! I'm leaving my room right now!

[selfless]

[his room... that was in one of the towers, wasn't it? She stops walking, trying to remember... How did she get to those towers again? She remembers they were just up a flight of stairs, but were they here on the seventh floor?

Bluh, it's hard to concentrate, and she leans against the wall again for support. Fine... she'll stay put.]

Were you hurt? What happened...?

[foolreversed]

I... [he's starting to not think straight as he tries to make his way down the tower. GOOD THING HE'S LIKE ONLY IN ROOM 2002...

If on a good day Adachi has a hard time keeping his mouth shut, starting-to-become-feverish Adachi has an even worse loose mouth] It's just... the thing I did to make it go away... it was kind of painful to do, all right?

[selfless]

[ the 'all right' makes her think 'drop this' so... she won't ask any more. He doesn't sound great. She wants to go find him, but the last thing she wants to do is get lost somehow and then he'd have to walk farther... so as hard as it is she just makes a 'mm' noise]

A-And... did the monster hurt you at all?

[foolreversed]

Um...

[okok]

N... No?

[OKOK]

[selfless]

[OI, she didn't lie to you ;(

well, she tried to, BUT SHE CAME CLEAN EVENTUALLY]

Really?

[foolreversed]

Ah...

M...Maybe?

[he's starting to not sound so good himself uh oh.]

[selfless]

[oh no, he was hurt. Okay, she can't afford to wait for him. It's spreading slowly for her.. maybe because she wasn't hurt otherwise? Whatever reason, he sounds like he's in terrible shape, and she needs to do something so she walks towards the stairwell and just... listens the best she can.

It's faint, but she think she hears footsteps that could be his. Slow footsteps...]

I-I think I hear you. I'll come meet you halfway. Is that okay?

[foolreversed]

[he stops for a moment and just... holds his head with one hand.]

Nnngh... fine. Okay. I guess I'll accept that...

[selfless]

[it must be bad... he was so insistent just a minute ago, to have it deteriorate so quickly... She had to find him, fast. There wasn't time to ask for help. With that thought in her mind, she pushes everything else to the back. Put one foot in front of the other Colette, you've kept walking through way worse pain than this.

A friend was in trouble, it was as simple as that.

He wasn't too far away, so it doesn't take her too long to find him... and by the time she reaches him, she has her wings out to make going up the stairs easier. When she sees him clutching his head like that... you can bet she's fluttering over as fast as she can go]

Oh no... where were you bitten?

1/2

[foolreversed]

[his head is lowered and his eyes are closed when she comes up to him. Oof, maybe using Magatsu Izanagi had been a horrible idea after all.]

Don't worry about it, it's fine- [looks up....]

[foolreversed]

[CHRIST GIRL WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS??? COMING OUT OF YOUR BACK???]

Wahh! [right FALLING BACKWARDS ONTO HIS ASS NOW!! but oh look, isn't that a suspicious amount of purple now visible between sock and pant leg.........]

1/2

[selfless]

I-I'm sorry! [when he falls back like that, it's the first response that comes to mind... she kind of flails and freaks out for a second... before she spots the edge of the bruising. She subconsciously tugs down at her sleeve (a tiny bit of purple might be spreading to her wrist)]

2/2

[selfless]

[...Either way, it makes her sober up, and kneel down next to him. She forces a smile, not quite sure what freaked him out, but trying to assure him that everything is okay!]

Here, lean on me. I'll take you to the clinic.

[foolreversed]

[he frowns sulkily for a moment before struggling to get to his feet]

No, you lean on me, and I'll take you to the clinic. [A MAN HAS HONOUR DAMNIT]

[selfless]

Ah... [hehe, right... a guy has pride and all that. boys are funny. Well after a minute of considering, she'll nod and hold onto his arm. But she's using her wings to make sure she weighs as little as possible! so hopefully, leaning on him doesn't cause any stress]

Okay.

[foolreversed]

[his ankle is starting to hurt a little actually but fffffffffffff HE IS A MAN sometimes FUCK IT

He stops holding his head at least... but shit, if he sees another of those damn things he'll probably go right ahead and summon Magatsu Izanagi again. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.]

So...

...where's the clinic again?

[selfless]

It's on the second floor... We could use the elevator to get there? [she's worried about this awesome duo tackling that many stairs]
