[ . . . OH DAMN HERO SYNDROME ON THE RISE-

Yeah she's already jumping out the window, what of it.]

Hey hey hey! Stay on the line! Calm down, I'm on my way.

Stay close to the ground, get away from the door. I might have to bust it down.

[Action girl to the rescue.]

action;

[dualpinkpistols]

[ Seeing as she isn't even aware of the SFC or that she's not in Sumaru at all, Maya will be no help in telling you where she is.

Heck, she isn't even sure where the voice is coming from, but... ]

There's a phone in here somewhere?! Listen, there's a little boy--y-you have to help him first, he might die!

[ A cough. ]

[sweeperesque]

I'll get you both, alright? You're both in danger here!

[And she'll be very insistent about this, yet she seems to be pre-occupied with something else for a second on the phone, but at least there's a reason for it.]

I've called for help. You'll be alright. We'll come get you.

[Though she stays on the line for the entire time, it isn't that long at all as she was able to find the building from the smoke.]

Just stay close to the ground and away from the door- you'll be fine! And so will your friend.

[and she's just gonna try to run in if there's nothing stopping her-]

action; yo

[redcloakedthief]

[Except there is, in the form of a thief.

At least....he tries. But he doesn't get there fast enough, and she's already run in by the time he makes it there.

alksndlas. SIGH.]

Saya! Maya!

[.....]

Maybe it has something to do with your names...

[And then he runs in after them, because he's not going to let Saya have all of the fun.]

[Video/Action]

[redcloakedthief]

[He is moving the moment he sees the video--and the name on the caller ID just makes his stomach drop.]

Damn it!

[But he is moving to find that building, though he does talk to the girl--]

He'll be fine! Listen to me, Maya--Stay close to the ground. Do you know where you are?

[Video/Action]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ Does it matter that she doesn't know who he is?

Probably not. She doesn't even know where the voice is coming from, until she grapples for the SFC through the smoke and flames, doing as instructed, staying low. ]

I--it's the shrine, isn't it? Are you in the city? Araya... h-he...

[ She is literally running out of air here. If she'd been aware she could have used her Persona to escape, but... she isn't. She feels groggy. ]

Action

[scaresplants]

[There's a skinny-looking teenager with short black hair dressed in a leather jacket and shades running up to the flames. Okay, fine, he's not the type of demon who goes and saves people from a burning fire- people died everyday from that- but he could hear a kid inside and ahhhhh why is this all so conflicting?]

Hey!

[Go, Sa, somebody, his voice sounds weird. All higher-pitched like that.]

Are you still in there? Can you hear me?

Action

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ahsldfjhg Crowleyyyyyy heeelp ;A;

There's more banging, but she stays close to the ground. She can't see him, he has to be safe... ]

I can, but... you've got to get away from here, he's still out there, you have to help my friend!

[ In actuality, Maya isn't aware this isn't her home. She isn't aware this fire was not caused by a maniac teenager, or that Tatsuya's not been hurt. ]

Action

[scaresplants]

Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about, so I'm coming to get you first.

[He takes a breath he doesn't need and just enters into the building through one of the open windows, the fire lazily licking at his clothes without even burning him. He sees Maya cowering in the corner and approaches her.]

Someone's in bad shape...

[And without her speaking, he'll just pick her up in his arms and kick open the door to the place to leave. RESCUE OPERATION SUCCESS?]

Action

[dualpinkpistols]

[ It's a small miracle she's still alive--it seems like the only thing that kept her from being total toast was her Persona.

Still, she's... really badly burned. Like, major burns here, we're talking. Yet she doesn't make a noise the entire time, merely biting her lips worriedly.

It seems like whoever HAD been in the building she saved before whatever happened. ]

G... Grazie, Mister...

[ But she's concerned and her surroundings, why are they so off--she's still horribly shaken, though, otherwise she'd have said more. In fact, she's terrified to the point of near muteness.

The burns hurt and she isn't sure what to do, right now... if Tatsuya was dead, she'd never forgive herself. All she really wanted was her father... why was this happening? ]

[garudyneinstyle]

[It isn't as if Yukari's a firewoman or anything. But by now, she's pretty accustomed to acting whenever she sees danger of any kind. She's used to being a hero, even if she didn't always like it, and that hasn't changedi n Vatheon. Especially not with her Defense Force duties.

That's why she's running towards that burning building. She had no time to think, to call anyone else who might be of help. Because just then is when she hears the little girl, screaming.]

H-Hey!! If you can hear me in there, I-I'm gonna try to get you out! Both of you--

[Yukari doesn't even get a chance to ask about the condition of her friend or who this madman is. She's coughing the closer she gets to the door, the smoke and heat getting worse with each step...]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ The pounding is becoming weaker by the minute.

You're really going to have to hurry, Yukari. ]

It's... it's okay, I-I think he's outside the shrine... both of them, I... I think...

[ Coughing, she's been in the smoke too long, and her voice is weak. She's literally got next to no air left. Luckily for her, the only thing that could help in this situation, Maia, her Persona, is shielding her as best it can. She falls silent, trying to stay low to the ground, remembering what they'd taught her about disasters in school.

Was she really going to die like this? Would her mother lose her, too? Maybe she deserved this for lying to her friends. She doesn't really know, but her mind is foggy and she doesn't have the strength to keep shouting or making noise. ]

[garudyneinstyle]

Th-The shrine? I can't--

[More coughing. The smoke is getting particularly bad now, and she tries to look through it, look all around her for this shrine. She's not sure what she's talking about...she doesn't even know the girl's name. But she shakes her head though, as if trying to clear it--

Because right now, she has to save her first. Everything else could wait...]

Hold on!!

[And she's going to start slamming into the door, trying to break it down. It takes her a few tries--she's small, not built like her senpai. But she comes crashing in, coughing some more--

Praying that Isis would protect her.

Protect both of them...]

I-I'm inside now! Hey--

[Aaahhh, there she is...oh god. Rushing over there before the fire gets worse and blocks their exit.]

Let's hurry!

wow I lack icons of her tiny, oh well ~pretend~

[dualpinkpistols]

[ She's pretty badly burned, and really out of it. To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for Maia's light around her, she probably wouldn't be standing up weakly as Yukari breaks in.

There's a flustered cough--what about Tatsuya? But she does her best, despite the burns all over her upper body.

... It takes them a bit to get out, but it seems like she only just manages before weakly falling to her knees outside, coughing. She's covered in ash, and has seen far better days. ]

G... grazie...

[ That's all she manages to get out, before the impact of their surroundings hits her. Where... was she? It takes her a minute, to take in that... this isn't... where she was. ]

W-where... how did I get here? This isn't... you haven't seen a little boy with red hair around, have you? N-no, this is all my fault...
