Now, things are less good.]

[nocawsforconcern]

[After Kyouko starts mouthing off again, Enna simply raises one arm.]

Hercules.

[And with all of the might of the man who once held up the sky, she is punching that barrier.]

[redmeguca]

[The barrier, not designed for hard impacts, shatters easily. Kyoko stands there, not moving, not even transformed.]

You know, I came here to have a good time, just like anyone else. Maybe make a few friends. But old habits die hard, you know?

[She picks up one of the discarded snacks and tears into it.]

[fullmoonfool]

[She doesn't really know where they're going, or what they're doing aside from leaving the room. Because her eyes are closed and she's trusting the people she knows, her friends, to guide her.

Her focus is entirely inward, on the two raging Personas within her. She's felt Thanatos rage before, but never has she had to control both the angry Death Persona, plus another. Orpheus' rage isn't as burning, but it's just as strong, and she can barely control them both.

Thankfully none of the others are as angry (though Alice is unhappy) but keeping the two of them under control is...hard. She's on the verge of losing her grip on one of them and she's not sure she can handle it]

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai looks over to Minako. The robotic bear in her arms whines and flails his little legs.]

Minako. ...Sorry.

[beguiledcard]

[ He's one of the people guiding her, for sure. He'd tried to get more info on the Personas attempting to break free, while they were on the way out... but...

Well, seeing her struggle so much with focusing actually hurt. Unsure of what else to do, he made a point of listing off everything that his currently equipped Persona can resist. Which is to say literally everything, except Bless and Curse - only because it blocks Bless and absorbs Curse.

No, he isn't trying to be cocky; he fully believes he should be cautious, regardless of the Persona he has equipped. He knows he doesn't know a damn thing about the extent of what either of Minako's Personas are capable of. But, he also knows he needs to try giving Minako something to focus on, and maybe some reassurance that she's with someone who does know how to protect himself... could help, even a little?

Once they're in a quiet place, alone, he'll be sitting her down and handing her one of those cups of tea he promised. ]

All right... Try focusing on this for a little while.

[nocawsforconcern]

[Once things have settled down a bit, and Enna's returned, she's looking for those who were herded out of the game.

Spotting Minako, though... Minako doesn't look so good. So, Enna's heading over to check on her.]

Minako?

[foolishjustice]

[Goro is...not doing okay. He's not struggling to control his Personas like Minako (although Robin Hood is seething in anger, and Loki is urging him to go back), and has already changed Titania back to her mask form. No, his 'not okay' is a very different brand. The cheerful and friendly young man is gone, replaced by someone disturbingly cold.

Once he's away from the immediate situation, he's going to need a moment to himself. He can't even settle enough to check on others at first, he's too busy fighting down his own murderous rage.]

[nocawsforconcern]

[Some time later, after she leaves the others with Kyouko, Enna is returning to where the others are...

... And then, she spots Goro.

...

???????

She walks up to him, and begins to poke his face to make sure it's really him.]

[coagmentatio]

[ Honestly, the second he saw several people in such bad moods, heard the craziness going on, he switched right on over to his inhuman form... while keeping the empathy turned off, given everything he's seeing around him.

... Ah, that look on Goro's face is kind of... familiar. It has him tensing just a bit, but he doesn't hesitate to approach... ]

Goro? [ brow tensing ] What happened?

[makejapangreat]

[oh... well... that... was kind of unsettling, honestly???

And ah... there's something about that look that still sends chills down his spine. It's only after a moment of hesitating, though, that he comes up to Goro. He's still a little... caught off-guard from everything that just happened. It all happened so quickly?

But, he'll reach out to gently touch Goro's shoulder...]

Easy, son.

[biddentodance]

[Once they're out of that room, once they've found somewhere else to cool down.... Minato just tucks himself out of the way, quickly schooling his expression back into an even neutrality. It's easy. He's been doing this all his life. Going back to an almost unsettling calm is like burying himself in an old, familiar sweater.

There. Done. He's fine. Nothing worth worrying about.

Nobody has to know his heart is still pounding, or how hard he's working to fight off certain memories.]

[foolishjustice]

[Contact might make it easy to tell Minato's heart is still pounding. It takes a little while for Goro to school his own emotions down to the point that he's comfortable trying to comfort other people, but then he approaches where Minato is tucked away, to just. Wrap his arms around the younger Wildcard, clearly protectively.]

[nocawsforconcern]

[Some time later, Enna's looking out for everyone who left. And when she spots Minato, hiding in a corner...

She approaches, and rather than greeting him normally, is just going to try to pat him on the head.]

[beguiledcard]

[ He's crouching down in front of Minty, quietly. ]

So... How long are you thinking you're going to be able to get away with something like this, around here?

[ In spite of the words, he reaches out to gently rest a hand against the side of Minato's face. ]

... I'll lean on you, regarding all of that, if you lean on me, first. Deal?

[wearmyface]

[While all this chaos is happening, Vos, still in full armour, is watching in the background. She's making absolutely no effort to help or hinder.

But she's absolutely filming it for later.

Feel free to call her out on it, or join her in watching. She's not going anywhere.]

[sendintheclown]

[Gogol doesn’t know what the fuck is going on but his clown senses alerted him to the scene. He joins Vos in the background, and - this is far more exciting than the book he was reading.]

Oh my! Should I get popcorn?

[beguiledcard]

[ He's fine.

As fine as he could be, anyway. Once the situation has been calmed down (RE: Kyoko and Minako), he sort of just... made his way up to the roof. He can be found sitting up on the very top, to the place where most people would need some kind of unnatural ability to reach.

While it could give the impression that he must really want to be alone, that's far from being the case. He just... isn't very happy with himself, right now. Anyone who knows him would know within seconds of seeing his face, too: he's beating himself up badly. ]

[nocawsforconcern]

[Well.

Some time later, after having given her Stars to Goro and left, Enna is also hunting people down. But unable to fly herself, now, instead she's flying up to the roof. On the back of a fucking pegasus. Which lands, and neighs.]

-- Oh! Akira?

[foolishjustice]

[Good thing fiance isn't leaving him alone. Once he's sure everyone still present is okay, it's time to go check on the person who's conspicuously not nearby. It takes him a little while to try the roof, but when he does, he just settles down to sit next to Akira and wrap an arm around him.]

[makejapangreat]

[Shido actually catches sight of Akira as he's leaving, almost a second too late, and heads after him. Once he gets to the roof, though— as high as he can personally get— Akira seems... no where to be found?

So he calls out for him.]

Akira?

[byanyother_name]

[Kurama separates himself from the other people that left the room. Normally, he'd be one of those checking on and trying to comfort the rest.

Normally.

Right now, he's barely holding himself in check. His expression is chillingly cold and angry and dark in a way only three people on the entire station have seen before. He keeps to himself, stays where he is, even as the commotion goes through the halls. Even when he sees Corvus Cantus bolt away. He doesn't trust himself to act. He wouldn't kill the girl, reset the counter himself and ruin everything.

He knows far too many ways to destroy a person without leaving a scratch.

Kurama's fists are clenched so tight that his nails pierce his palms, leaving bloody crescents.]

[nocawsforconcern]

[Well. Some time later, after she's chased down Kyouko, putting holes in the walls, and been removed from listening to Kyouko, she's instead just seeking out everyone who was there.

Upon spotting Kurama, she's at least running up to him to check on him.]

There you are! Fluffy flower-smelling boy. Boy? I think boy.

[coagmentatio]

... You, too.

[ Aiden immediately went to look for him after having tried to help Goro... and himself. As such, he doesn't remotely hesitate before approaching, though he does keep some natural distance there. ]

I heard what happened.

[ Not just about... He got to hear a lot of the aftermath, and this all just... sucks. Also, he isn't bothering to ask if Kurama is okay, because he's clearly fucking not. The next words are a bit awkward because he hasn't been using one of the words long. ]

Would ... venting help?

[foolishjustice]

[It takes...a while, before Goro trusts himself around someone else with a violent temper. Until after he's talked to Minato, and been cheered up with the thought of comfort food. By that point, Akira has left...but Goro isn't going to go looking for him without first checking on the fiance already present.

He approaches Kurama wordlessly, but not silently, and reaches out one hand to gently grab his wrist.]

How are you managing?

enna afterwards

[nocawsforconcern]

[So, not long after everyone's left, there are worrying sounds from the room they left. Several crashes, the sound of walls being smashed through, as Enna flies out after the escaping Kyouko. And then, a bit later, the sound of a neigh as Enna returns, on the back of a fucking pegasus.

She's hunting down everyone who was at the CAH game to make sure they're okay.]

[nor_iron_bars]

Heyyyy, it's Enna, right?

[Looks like, in one case, someone from the game might be trying to track her down, first.]

[Jail sidles up to her casually in the hall, giving her a lazy wave of greeting.]

So, quick question: what the fuck just happened back there.

[She needed to go handle something that was totally not a potential lab safety issue and came back to property damage that she somehow wasn't involved in? And now she's got some questions.]
