Yuki wasn't sure how long they were all going to be stranded here, so he decided to make the most of an opportunity to explore. He needed something to do while waiting for the portal situation to be figured out. The radio only gave so much entertainment, though that particular device had proved useful to help him feel not nearly as alone.
Granted, he wasn't alone to begin with. He'd carried his human with him whenever he relocated, not wanting to risk leaving her somewhere dangerous. Or, in the case of a certain nightmare demon, forget where he left her.
The casino was dark, and before the ghost boil began to really wander he put his charge in what he hoped would be a safe place alongside one of the many, many slot machines. He'd take her with him if he changed rooms, but the main room of the casino itself provided enough things of curiosity to keep him occupied for a while.
Just to not be talking to himself, Yuki retrieved the radio at his hip and spoke to the voices he'd spoken to or even just listened do. He'd had it turned off for a while, for quiet and to save the battery, but with a flick of his thumb on the dial turned it back on and brought it close to his face.
"Have any of you checked out this casino? It almost looks like there were people in here recently."
He might not have realized how true that was; he hadn't discovered the recent corpses yet.

It was the sound of his voice that had stirred her from the dark. The human she'd been carting so cruelly around this entire time was lying face down on a craps table; still breathing, but badly bruised from her treatment. He was the only living thing visible, because Yuki's voice had done nothing more than make her eyes open, and her heart thrill with anger.
She remained quiet, flickering her pupilless white orbs of light in the direction of the voices, and her expression lifted into a devious, mouthless smile.

It delighted her to see who she'd found first in this den of death, but it infuriated her to see two of him there. As if he'd multiplied, in her absence. As if he would continue to multiply, until his existence would taunt her from every corner. Excitement turned to red, burning rage, as her tentacles reached out for her human's unconscious body, and she hurled it at the second Yuki.

Directly after throwing her charge at the monster, Riley came flying from the darkness, desperate to rip and tear and rend and destroy, but with each attack she came away with nothing but shadows and fog. This enraged her even further, because if there was anything Riley hated more than life, it was the fog.
Yuki had been prepared to deal in another blow after taking one from the strange copy of himself that had appeared seemingly from the very air.
His knuckles barely had an instant to make contact before a body came flying at the both of them from the darkness. The real Yuki backpeddalled with a jolt, eyes wide and following the path that the human and shadow had taken.
And then he saw her.
He stumbled backward until he tripped up over an overturned chair, but it barely slowed him down for how desperate he was to get out of there. He scrambled on all fours to a nearby machine, and hid himself behind it, radio still clutched in his hand.
Giving warning seemed appropriate.
But it probably wasn't a smart move on his part.

The creature that attacked this hollow husk of shadow did nothing to quiet her rage. She did not take her time with this one. She did not relish in any screams, or revel in the feel of blood. This was because the husk did not favor her with its screams, or any form of blood.
Her charge lay forgotten, as Riley bore down on the shadow of a man who mirrored the actual target of her anger; but she was the type to focus. One Yuki at a time.

She tore it's limbs off, one by one. Still, it did not scream. She shoved her tentacles into its mouth and pulled it apart, until half of the shadowed head lay separated from the rest of it. Still, it did not bleed. She ripped into it's stomach and it's body disintegrated underneath her, sending her flying into a rage that elicited a howl that vibrated in Yuki's very mind.
She was not satisfied.
And when she turned her now red eyes up to look at him, it was clear what she intended to do, to fix that.
It took him longer than it should have to realize that she was very soon to be finished with the thing that wasn't him. When that moment was punctuated with an invading, painful cry in his head, he shot to his feet as quickly as he could get up and ran.
Riley wasn't the only one who left the human behind.
He heard voices. Jason's voice. Asking him what was going on. Voices he didn't recognize mocking him and ignorant of just how much danger they were in.
He was trying to explain, loudly, frantically.
Looking back had been a terrible idea.
His foot caught on something - a human who was very much not alive - and he pitched forward and crashed to the floor for a second time. The radio in his hand went clattering across the floor, far out of his reach.

He ran. This was much better.
Riley was on all fours in a heartbeat, surging forwards after him. The casino presented a veritable obstacle course, all of which she was all too happy to maneuver through. She hopped from table to table, slamming furniture down as she used each piece for leverage to move faster. He was too busy running on feeble legs and chatting on the box to notice how quickly she was bearing down on him, until it was far, far too late.
Yuuuuki. Her voice was melodical, like a song drifting into his mind. It was the voice of a siren; the exact opposite of the enraged creature that was chasing him at that moment. She called him, but she did not need to try very hard. He tripped from his own clumsiness, and she heard the sound of something slide far from where his body now lay.
She followed the sound of clattering, distracted enough to pounce on the radio first, instead of the boil. When she picked it up, she tore it against the ground, forcing screeching sounds from it as she moved closer to Yuki.
Who are you speaking to, Yuki? She asked; the siren voice remained. I know you're just trying to make me jealous.
Her voice might have actually frightened him more when she tried to sound pleasant than any tone she had used before.
The boil had tensed as soon as he hit the floor, both from the pain of the impact jarring all of the aches and injuries he'd sustained between their arrival and that moment, as well as the expectation that she was soon to be on him. He still flinched when she landed a distance away, looking up to see what she had gone after instead.
He winced at the sound.
Riley moved toward him and he rushed to put distance between them. He knew he wasn't going to outrun her, he should have known better than to even try. Not after last time. Not now, when he had far less open space to run.
Her voice invaded his mind again, and at first he hesitated to answer at all.
"Th-the others... The other volunteers." Yuki replied finally. Vaguely.
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2015 1:42 am
The screeching stopped.
Other volunteers? Are they more fun than I am? She turned the radio back on, and began listening in to the drivel they considered conversation. Finally, she began to tap on the mic, in the hopes that they would please her with some amusement.
They did not.
Here. She pushed the microphone back on, and walked forward towards him with every step he tried to back away. You wish to speak with them so badly. Say goodbye.
Yuki had managed to get to his feet again, wavering, stepping back and back as she drew closer. Until his back met wall, and he had nowhere left to go. He pressed his hands down at his sides, palms to the cool, smooth surface, as if he could concentrate hard enough to phase through it like he so desperately wished to. But he couldn't.
His eyes never left hers, even as she held out the radio toward him.
The word goodbye made him visibly pale.
He remembered wondering aloud on that very radio, when they had first become stranded here, if dissipation would send them back home. Now, he supposed that he was about to find out.
"I'm sorry, Jason." Yuki said, speaking to one of the voices he had spoken fondly to, even as he still had his fear-filled gaze locked on the demon's eyes.
