Ikeda's Wedding Dungeon Crawl
Who: Shadow Kiriko and Exploration Team.
What: Dungeon crawling.
Where: Ikeda's ~~Wedding~~ Dungeon Crawl.
When: June 14/15
Why: Dungeon crawling chat supplementals!

The entrance to the dungeon takes the form of a small, Western-style chapel, with sleek, towering glass buildings visible in the distance. The closest seems to be a hotel, but an inaccessible skyline lined with modern office buildings and interesting architecture belonging to no particular cityscape is visible as well.

ETA: Dungeon Summary for those who have missed all or parts of it and don't want to pick through the chat.

Also note that Yuuto and Masami are chained together, and Emi isn't chained to anyone at all.

S!Kiriko takes the final hit and falls back, slumped over and clearly struggling to stand. Her clawed fingers clutch at the bloodier spots of her now-less-than-white dress (those with a keen eye may notice that the bloody spots don't completely coordinate with where she's actually been hit and are probably for dramatic effect) and the wounds seem to start to recede - she's healing. S!Kiriko lifts her head with a dark chuckle and another fanged grin, starting to straighten.

"Stop."

Kiriko's voice is hoarse when she does finally speak, and so she clears her throat and tries again, getting a bit shakily to her feet. "Stop."

She looks around the room with a frown, eyes finally settling on her shadow. "This isn't going to help, either. And taking it out on them is a waste of time."

The Shadow turns to face her, inclining her head curiously as if waiting for Kiriko to go on. She does, and though her voice is firmer now, she keeps her eyes glued to the desk while she speaks.
"We can't keep running."

S!Kiriko sighs, shoulders sinking under the weight of Kiriko's revelation. She shakes her head minutely, but turns to the group and flashes one last toothy grin, blows a kiss, and transforms in a flash of light back into the deceptively innocent looking little fox. Kitsune yips, then bounds across the desk to Kiriko, who runs her hand absently over its back before it disappears. She sinks slowly back into her chair, folds her hands in her lap and stares hard at the floor, blinking rapidly.

One last Dia. Keiichi wasn't going to die, at least.

Maeko's focus hadn't been on the fight, terrifying as the other Kiriko was. It was only when she heard a second Kiriko speaking that she looked up for longer than a second or two to double check that whoever was fighting was still alive.

She wanted to make a big deal of the exploding and the falling and the other falling and everything else. Turning it all into anger at Kiriko would have been much easier. But that wasn't fair. If it was anything like Toru and Kou then that other her was something that she didn't want to be. She had no right to be angry over something Kiriko had been deliberately locking away.

"...It's good to have you back with us, Ikeda-san." She said quietly, settling on saying something generic and non-confrontational. "Are you okay?"

Kozue was busy catching her breath; but when the Bridezilla didn't get right back up to keep fighting, she loosened the death-grip she'd had on her tennis racket. (Not on her phone, though. Just yet.) She took a tentative few steps forward towards the desk where Kiriko sat. "Yeah. Are you...?" Okay? Ready to go home? Going to murder us with some more explosions? "... what Akuba-sempai said."

Kiriko teetered forward on the end of her chair, eventually pulling herself up and out of it. The tears, apparently, had been successfully blinked back.

"No," she answered flatly. She stepped around the desk, casting a sympathetic look to Keiichi and a few others as necessary but evading eye contact as best she could. Apologies were certainly owed, but this wasn't the time.

"Let's go home."

With Kiriko's situation taken care of, Maeko tending to Keiichi, and every one else in the group seemingly alright, Tom nodded to himself. He certainly wasn't going to abandon them in a dangerous situation, but with everything over, he felt alright stepping away to deal with his own things. Besides, most of the group had made it mostly clear that they didn't want him there.

"Anything else important comes up... well you know how to get a hold of me."

He slipped his hands in his pockets, and turned from the group, he began looking for the nearest exit. His mind focusing on getting back to the real world, and back to the mission.

Kanaye posed, one arm high in the air, one to the side, his legs apart, his hands in fists. He really looked quite stupid. "Another psychological horror vanquished by the might of the Investigation Team and Reizo and Tom." Blinking from his outburst, he turned and walked over to Kiriko. "Yo, Kirichan, you need any help? I won't do anything, I swear! It'd be, like, against the few principles I have!"

"Also, Tom? Seriously dude? You're not as cool as you think you are. Stop trying to be an anti-hero. You suck at it."

	Misaki slipped from the group and hurried over to Kiriko before the others could stop her and hugged onto Kiriko. "I'm just happy you're okay Kiriko-chan." She looked up at the other girl and smiled, "I was thinking when we get back, I should make you something really nice to eat okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
