[She has never been so disappointed in herself.]

[There had been plans to follow through on, moments of -- not genius, never genius, but a certain bold and selfless cowardice she had to enact. For their protection. And she wasn't there, not that she could tell, not anymore; now she'd found herself in some endless space with fragments of the school underfoot, tile and cement broken into pieces, leading in sprawling paths to... somewhere. It made the school seem unquestionably more unfriendly, even more so than the one that was haunted by a mastermind who spoke only directly to her. She could be sick with herself.]

[She could only hope they would be all right without her, she supposed. And Sakura hoisted herself up to her feet and began to walk.]

[The sensation of being rather hopelessly lost was new to her, and she could say with certainty that she did not like it.]

The ground he's walking on seems steady enough. But that doesn't make sense, he could see the lack of support, and how some pieces would just drift off into nothing. At the very least the floor should bob somewhat, like a boat on the water, right? But with every step he took he only found his footing stubbornly solid beneath him.

When he found himself reaching the cracked remains of Hope's Peak he was dismayed. He was sure he had been walking in a straight line away from that place, but with how everything has been shifting it's possible he'd just gone around in a circle.

He was just about to change his course away from the former school when he saw something- or somebody- move past a crack in the ruins. And if it was somebody, maybe even a classmate, perhaps they would have a better idea of what happened!

"Hello! Hello, is there someone there?"

[Checkerboard tiles and abandoned pillars and cracks through all of it. The place is in utter disarray and for the life of her (ha, what an idiom to be using) she can't imagine how it got this way. Just minutes ago, it felt, minutes and a period of darkness, there had been a full structure, not just... isolated pieces and shattered concrete. Something of it terrified her.

[She took a step and thought maybe the sound she heard was just a distorted footstep. It'd almost make sense, given the rest of the situation. But then, again, 'hello, is someone--'

[She looked up, in the direction of the voice, took a few steps to peer around what was left of a wall. Surprise was not the apt description for this feeling.]

Ishimaru. [Said quietly, not with confidence. No, it couldn't possibly be. So, louder,] Yes, I am here.

When he hears the reply he nearly runs over. Nearly, of course, as he's still right by a school. "Oogami-kun! So you're safe as well. Of course you are!"

He had checked for any of the rest of his classmates when he had first left, but. Clearly he just hadn't searched hard enough! "Have you seen any of the others? I'm not sure what happened here, I simply woke up and everything was destroyed."

[It's really Ishimaru Kiyotaka, skin flushed with warm blood and not an opened seam to be found. She stares stunned for a moment, unlike her, but impossible to resist.]

It truly is you. [Maybe it would be best not to breach the subject. She skirts neatly around it instead.] I -- have not, no. The same is all true for me, as well.

[A cursory check of her surroundings: this does not seem safe. She says as such.] Perhaps we should keep moving as we speak.

The stare doesn't register as anything particularly strange for him- it's just an extra moment of silence from one of his more quiet classmates. And any surprise in her next statement- it's odd, but surely also irrelevant.

"That sounds like a fine plan. There certainly ought to be some better shelter somewhere, at least!" Anyways, it wouldn't seem right to stay much longer by Hope's Peak when they could so easily leave it now. Even if 'they' encompasses less people then he would hope.

[Sakura nods, and begins to walk alongside her classmate, even if she sort of bubbles with nervousness and alarm.]

You seem ... in good health.

[It's an aborted and silly line of conversation, she knows. But it has to be said. As they walk, the path seems to assemble itself underfoot, which is amazing in its own right. It all looks so familiar, an echo of a school they had been locked in. With Ishimaru beside her, she has to wonder if there are others: if the rest of them actually survived, if she'll find more in this mysterious place. One step at a time, Oogami. Find yourself a safe place, first.]

That is to say, considering the circumstances. We are both lucky to find ourselves unharmed.

He walks just a little behind Oogami, still cautious of the floating floor. "It's odd that the building could be destroyed without leaving a scratch on us, isn't it? ...Not that the rest of this is any less odd."

He goes quiet for a bit longer, watching his step and developing a ~~fear~~ very reasonable wariness of heights. Eventually he thinks of something else to say. "I tried checking at the doors of our classmates earlier. All the boys' were locked for the night time, of course. So I knocked as loudly as I could, but no one would come to the door."

[Since his small group of friends had left for the Mancer Observatory, even though it had only been a short while, everything felt oddly...quiet; so much so that it felt almost stifling just to be there. So with his body feeling better and a loose hoodie on his person, Ippo set out into the Skyway for some more free range training; he definitely had more room to stretch his legs out here and plenty of breakable objects to test his strength on without causing any problems.

With how pleasant it was outside, he thought that he might as well chalk it up as yet another lazy day; days he'd come to appreciate more in his time here, but it would seem that wasn't meant to be the case. The sound of voices in the distance caught his ear, causing him to stop dead mid-stride in his run; his bandaged hands reaching up to pull down his hood so his ears could listen in better, and there was no doubt that he was hearing actual people talking.

Without a second thought, he moved into action and ran towards the voices almost at full speed; though he quickly stopped at the thought that someone coming out of nowhere moving like a freight train might cause a few problems, forcing him to slow his pace to a brisk walk. Eventually he came into view of a pair of people in the distance, and while he couldn't tell much about them from where he was standing...one of them seemed very, very large. Regardless, he raised his hand and waved it a bit to get their attention; calling out to the pair to let them know he was there.]

Hello? Do you two need any help over there?
