[ RO was so sure that the Attendants would be here, so she's been yelling "clown-denizen" and "skirt-boy" for the past ten minutes in an attempt to find Minato and Souji. She sure is noisy and the cats she is carrying with her arm that all become longcats by now because she doesn't know how to properly hold them. But they don't try to escape because RO still stops every now and then to pet their heads, which gives her immense joy... for some reason... then her expression twists to horror and she resumes her search for anyone else in the Velvet Room and stumbles into Sasuke's, opening his door abruptly. Hope you weren't doing anything private...

RO looks exhausted with 5 cats dangling from her arm as she's holding them to her chest. That arm no longer has a hand with mechanical parts peeking out of the hole, but that doesn't seem to be what's bothering her. ]

I... I require your assistance. Perhaps you have a healing spell of some sort--

[ Wherever Sasuke's headed to, when he passes by the park in the morning, he will spot a familiar figure and a possibly familiar tune. If he comes closer, he can spot Leon, doing morning exercises following the instructions blaring out of the retro-looking radio on the ground a few meters away from he is.

Eventually, Leon will notice Sasuke and call out to him. ]

Sasu-tan! Where are you going? Wanna join me doing some exercise?

[ Terry has his omamori hanging around his neck like a nametag collar, but his omamori has been entirely painted over with dried blood. It's an ugly rust-color now. Not even the flower designs that Rei sewed on them can be seen anymore, much less his name and arcana. Despite that, it's still functional. Terry the pom has the serrated charm knife in his mouth too. He is so ready to take down the Daitengu again!!

... Except he's stuck at the bear. He lets the knife down on the ground and just yaps at it. ]

[ To avoid having NPCs scream about there being a loose snake in the school, he's taken upon himself to just shrink his size to less than 3 inches long. That's tiny for someone that's normally seven feet long. But he doesn't mind. He slithers in the hall, making a small water trail because going through the waters is absolutely gross. It's fine, it's fine. He still hasn't found Terry and it's annoying how far he has to keep traveling for this. He's starting to feel grateful for the perfect weather back home.

Anyway, he goes in one of the classrooms and starts rolling himself in a towel at normal size. He hates staying wet even though he's just all scales now. That might have been your towel. That might have been Kurou's. Or maybe it's another cat's. Either way, he's using it. ]

[ rei holds her hands and arms close together, scared beyond her mind as she wanders through the dungeon. she didn't want to come back to another dungeon, not since what happened in the last one, but she couldn't sit by. she needs to pull in her own weight so, she ventures in, but is quickly stopped when she comes across an invisible wall. luckily, she has been taking small steps so she doesn't run right into it, but she sticks out a hand and tries to feel the wall. ]

Umm... is this a glass wall?

[ it seems far too clear to be that, but she's not sure what it is. the guilt-tripping questions for both sasuke and rei will come soon enough... ]

[ After finding out that Sasuke hasn't waken up in several hours, he tries to pinpoint what exactly happened. When he finds out that it has something to do with the torii in the forest, Terry asks Jace to watch over Sasuke and if there is anything strange in the vicinity, such as cats that don't belong to the house or crows, feel free to eat them. He's taken this kind of precaution because of Kano, so sorry, Shirou... if you're still around.

And so, Terry sets off to the torii and looks up at it. He's... not sure what to do, since he's never seen Sasuke sleeping in front of it before. He'll sit against it though, and rest his head on his knees. Maybe praying would help, as much as Terry doesn't like the notion of gods or whatever, but he'll do it, here. He closes his eyes, and asks whoever resides in this torii to please help Sasuke get well soon. ]

[ It's middle of Lockdown, because that's the only way this timeline can work if Akira and Sasuke are also going to Shadow Kido on the 13th, so Terrence makes minimal effort to "restore" Terry's body, but not healing his wounds that are still profusely bleeding. He's a zombie. He lost his will to live. It's weird seeing it firsthand when a surface Shadow hasn't eaten his mind. regardless, Terrence finds Sasuke, wherever he is (anywhere but the Velvet Room), and drops Terry at his feet with a thud on the ground. ]

He failed in a Dungeon. Seal him away forever before he wipes Hirajiro off the face of the universe.

[ He knows your torii thing, Sasuke... ]

[Sasuke doesn’t ask for much, but Akira actually likes him well enough that he wants to get him a decent gift. His first thought was a stupid sweater for Kurou, but he figures the cat would hate something like that.]

[So what Sasuke gets is wrapped (neatly but with little decoration) in a box near his door. It’s a stupid sweater for people instead, a holiday one. It’s got mercifully subdued colours, but among the patterns is a series of little knit snakes wearing Santa hats.]

[ Terry is thankfully looking and sounding like himself again and after a change of clothes from home, he's back at the Black Cat clubhouse to look after Sasuke. He brought over some food in various containers along with a water heater, several packs of tea, and all that.

Who rooms with Sasuke now... is it still Yamato or Jiro, who fucked off to jail? Either way, Terry is sitting against the wall, next to Sasuke's bedding and reading a book to pass the time. He brought food for two on the fourth too in hopes that Sasuke would wake up, but he didn't. He did it again though--making enough food for two on the fifth. Terry isn't a big eater--he actually doesn't eat all that much, but it's enough to keep himself healthy and fit. He stays here despite his cat allergies and is braving through it with a medical face mask over the bottom half of his face. He is definitely not shooing Kurou out just so he can be in there.

There are occasional hopeful glances over at Sasuke to see if he's woken up, but when he sees that he hasn't, he goes back to reading his book. ]
