YUYA SAKAKI UN: FUNDIRECTION

STATUS: Student Grade 9

ACCOLADES: (Here is a list of leading roles Yuya's has in school theater performances over the past two years, plus a glowing review of his familiar Odd-Eyes)

BIO: Hello! You can call me Yuya. I'm from Sendai, Japan. This is my second year in Daybreak Academy. I'm a Tamer, and Odd-Eyes is my familiar. He's the big red dragon that hangs out in the courtyards. He's friendly but he tries to steal food sometimes. I speak Japanese and English but not very good French. I'm also in the theater club. I'm in Lumiere 203. Let's be friends!

[ What the fuck is a compeigne, is that French, why isn't it auto-translating, what's this mist thing groping people and draining people's color and why does Minako have a gun and putting it to her head and—-

it might not be what really happens, but it might also be, and Kano's not going to stand around waiting for her to pick up the phone, he's pulling away and running back to the dorms to hunt her down and make sure she's not doing anything of the sort, not here, not later, she shouldn't ever need to have a reason to do anything like that, ever ever ever.

Bye guys, Kano can't be here, sorry Tsuyukusa, Minako means more to him. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya's actually witnessed how she summons, as a Tamer, so the gun to her head fills him with less alarm.] Toki, breathe. If--[He cuts off when he sees Kano just bolt of.] W--wait, Kano!

[Yuya grabs for Toki's arm to try and drag him along as he pursues.]

[yokeye]

[Breathing is hard. And so is running on ice and snow barefoot, but he lets Yuya drag him anyway.]

Kano! What if she's not even there!? What if it's already happening somewhere!?

[That's probably not the thing to be shouting at him to make him stop, though.]

[suddenlybees]

[ oh my god ]

HEY TOKI, PLEASE SHUT UP!!!!

[ You're not helping!! And no way in hell he's waiting, even if Yuya asks ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya cringes. Toki is super not helping but also, Kano's already told him to shut up so it doesn't bear repeating.

So he's just gonna keep running full speed after Kano, only being weighed down by Toki but at least he's pretty sure about where he's going.]

[yokeye]

[Yuya should have left him behind.]

What's if she's already... and it's IN THERE AND NOT AT THE CLOCK BUILDING! It's not always right! IT'S NEVER RIGHT! You don't want to walk in on that!

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya breaks the order because he basically immediately stops to turn and cover Toki's mouth.] Stop, that's not helping at all!

[suddenlybees]

[ not slowing down ]

I HEARD THAT.

[ Yeah, Yuya, why are you bringing Toki along?? Why is Yuya coming along, too, leaving all those candles unsupervised, watch them come back to Tsuyukusa's shrine on fire. ]

[yokeye]

[He just made it worse, didn't he? But Kano really doesn't need to see... that. Nobody does! They shouldn't be going in there! What if something happened to Nana too?! Or like the whole floor while they were outside doing... whatever they were doing!? ...And he definitely would have said all that out loud.]

[hippocarnival]

[It's candles in snow, they're probably not going to have to worry about a fire.

But he still braces his hand on Toki's shoulder and decides to use exactly that as a distraction.] Hey--can you go get the candles from the shrine? I'll follow Kano and make sure he's okay.

[Yuya's pretty sure he's going up to where Minako's room is, and if she's there then everything's fine--if she's not and not picking up Kano just might have a damn heart attack.

He pats Toki's shoulder, like that's that before turning to pursue Kano.]

[yokeye]

[He watches Kano and Yuya run off, and yes, he shouldn't go, but...]

What shine?

[He'll find it, he supposes. And text Yuya the vision notes on his way just in case they need them.]

[suddenlybees]

[ By now, Kano's finally gotten a hold of Minako, who reports that she's in his room and what the fuck's going on Kano?? but while he's relieved to hear that, he only speeds up instead of slowing down, because he can't rest until he sees her with his own eyes that she's okay. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya misses the speakerphone conversation when he's trying to catch up, bounding up the stairs two at a time. He peeks from the top of them on the third floor, staring down the hall after Kano.]

[suddenlybees]

[ I guess at this point, he's at Minako's door, pounding on it and screaming, like an ex who's been kicked out of the house and is begging to be let back in. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya creeps closer down the hall, hand outstretched.] Kano...? Hey, if she's not there, we can look for her together.

[Like, without frantic desperate scrambling.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Have some frantic desperate hands on Yuya's shoulder instead ]

She's inside!! Here, you see if you can get the doorknob off, I'll go look for one of those "break for emergencies" axes!

[hippocarnival]

Hey, hey. [Yuya reaches to brace his hands on Kano's shoulders as well, brows knit and trying to be reassuring.] If she's in her room she's okay, right? Toki's visions are getting clearer... but it's still not the full moon, and Minako's been on missions and fights before. That might be all he saw.

[Yuya just. Assumes Kano, as her brother, knows how her powers work.]

[suddenlybees]

[ She's in her room, the door is locked, what if she has a gun!!!!!!!!!

laughs, Kano knows fuck all about everything, don't assume he knows anything about anything, ever... ]

Toki said "maybe"!! And the moon's plenty full already and maybe it's the stress from all the missions and fights driving her to do that!!

[hippocarnival]

To do what? [Yuya pauses, mentally running over the description again. Luckily, Minako was only really doing one action that Toki mentioned, so Yuya's able to connect those dots quickly.]

... You mean the gun? That's how her powers work, so it makes sense what Toki saw was probably a mission or something, right?

[suddenlybees]

[ Is Yuya going to be the one to out her ]

What powers.

[hippocarnival]

[Nobody told Yuya it was a secret.]

Uh. You know, her summoning? She points the gun as herself and says a... name, I guess, and when she pulls the trigger she summons them. I guess they're something from the Outlands like Odd-Eyes?

[suddenlybees]

[ uh

whispers to himself: ] That's fucked up.

Why is it a gun? What the fuck.

[hippocarnival]

... I don't know. [It is pretty fucked up.] That's just what I saw at the ball. If it's a flame power, those get kind of weird.

[suddenlybees]

[ ............ ]

Yuya, pinky swear me that's all it is, and when Minako opens her door, we're both going to pretend I didn't freak out, okay.

[hippocarnival]

Kano, she definitely already heard you freak out. [He can't promise the impossible.]
