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.]

Where did it even bite you? [because to him right now, it's not whether or not she got bit. It's pretty apparent to him that she did.]

[selfless]

[ah....] My arm.

[foolreversed]

Geez... Well, we're not far from the elevator n-

[he stops. wait. what did he just catch out of the corner of his eye.....]

[selfless]

{? she was looking at Adachi, so she didn't see whatever he saw... there's a pause as she looks around]

W-What's wrong?

[foolreversed]

[he doesn't say, just tries to stand taller]

Colette, stay back.

[selfless]

[sdgakhsdg her eyes widen and she keeps looking around, but she does what she's told and doesn't move]

Did you see something?

[foolreversed]

[Adachi doesn't reply immediately, instead he starts to hold his head again]

Don't worry. I'll... take care of it...

[he doesn't scream this time at least- just grips his head tighter and grunts before suddenly, Magatsu Izanagi appears out of seemingly nothing in front of them-

Then immediately flies forward in a flash, sword pulled back then dived into one of those mutant lobsters before it can escape.

Adachi spends the whole time cringing and clutching his head, as the lobster squirms and wiggles frantically while being pinned down.]

[selfless]

[her breath catches in her throat as his persona appears.... She's seen it before, but only moments- when they were fighting on those ships, and then when his shadow...

But now it's here, protecting them. No, he's controlling it, isn't it? She sees him cringing, and she almost cringes a little as well in sympathetic pain. This power- has he always had it? Does he hide it... because it's so painful? But she's so tired, it feels like these questions are just swimming futilely in her head.

So she ends up just watching, eyes wide... immobilized by surprise]

[foolreversed]

[Despite the fact it hurts to keep Magatsu Izanagi out, Adachi still does it, and a smirk even comes on his face.]

Rip it apart.

[And on that command Magatsu Izanagi starts grabbing handfuls of the lobster and doing just that

Adachi what

what are you doing]

[selfless]

St- [her voice falters a bit, before she tugs on his sleeve and raises her voice]

Please stop, it's hurting you!

[foolreversed]

[Magatsu Izanagi keeps doing everything it can to make sure there's none of the lobster left and Adachi shows no signs of letting up until...

Until Colette raises her voice.

It seems to snap him out of his trance and the Persona disappears.

Adachi falls to his knees, panting heavily.]

[selfless]

[oh gosh, as he falls to his knees she does the same. She looks up and down... there's no wounds that she can see but that obviously hurt... poor Adachi]

I'm sorry... You're hurt, aren't you?

[foolreversed]

[he cringes, shutting his eyes and trying to regain himself.]

I'm... I'll be fine.

[selfless]

[she tries to speak softly... if his head is hurting, a shrill voice is the last thing he needs]

You don't look fine. You look... we need to get to the clinic so you can rest.

[foolreversed]

I'm... used to it.

But yeah, let's get to the clinic, asap.

[selfless]

Y-Yes, let's. [asdgah she looks gross, but Adachi looks waaaaay worse with his persona using... so she's subtly going to try and give him a little support when they both stand up. She's hoping he won't notice it, but it will make it easier for him to walk.

she's really scared for you, bro ;;]

[foolreversed]

[look at least he didn't get cut in half this time okay!!! be scared when he starts crying and gets snot and spit everywhere oh god i really just typed that.

They've made it to the elevator now at least?! although where did the lobster corpse go........................]

[selfless]

[she doesn't notice the missing lobster corpse, all of her attention is on Adachi and getting the two to safety. She pushes the elevator button and then just... leans against the wall. So that hopefully, she can hold him up while getting some relief as well]

Thank.... you. [she says it softly, but clearly as she can]

[foolreversed]

[he leans back against the wall too, wanting to just fall to the floor.]

It's... no problem. Really.
