Chibiusa's head hurt. Dark Hour, Persona, magical tarot cards... her head was buzzing trying to process everything. From what she could figure out, persona were these demon like creatures that were summoned from one's true personality, although Souji's comments had thrown a wrench into that. She tried to get her brain to shut up about why some had Persona and others didn't. It was trying to insist only people with darker hearts could do so. And then this Dark Hour. It obviously wasn't normal, and apparently only those with Persona could access it. Except K1 and Yuugi didn't explain that. She looked rather lost in thought.
Yuugi thought for a moment. Even though Minato and Souji were from the same world it was pretty clear their experiences were pretty varied. He was having trouble thinking clearly from being so tired. He turned to Minato, hoping the other teen would have a better answer to his question about Personae.
Problem was, it could depend on how Minato viewed the situation of Atem and Yuugi's souls. If he knew enough of fanon to speculate that they shared a soul, the answer would be harder to come up with. It was clear from the time together that Atem and Yuugi had different minds, different psyches. But the issue of a split or linked soul remained. It was possible Midori could attempt to clear up the situation, as the most popular fanon was the one K1 had stumbled upon. That Yuugi was Atem's reincarnation. Without a knowledge of Ancient Egyptian mythology, the interpertation had many holes but made a sort of sense...

"I'm guessing we'll just have to find out somehow," Souji said. He yawned. "That gets me thinking, though... if this Dark Hour from your time is back, and you're getting these Laplace Mail things--" He nodded to K1. "--Then maybe the Midnight Channel's here too."
"The Midnight Channel?" K1 asked.
"It's this TV channel that comes on at midnight. Supposedly, if you look into the screen of a turned-off TV at midnight, when it's raining outside, you'll see your soulmate. Of course, it just ended up being that it shows whoever's on the public's mind at that time," Souji explained.
"That's kinda messed up..." K1 said. He turned to Midori, who was falling asleep on her feet.

"I agree," Minato said. Then he didn't know what to say about anything else. The confusion of the situation overtook him. The words that he wanted to say refused to come out. And this isn't some ploy by Michael to make the post longer...
Minato pulled on the strings harshly and pulled Michael to Earth before holding up looking irritated. "Stop exploiting me," he growled.

(OOC: I'm going to pass that off as a figurative encounter since I treat this as a more serious RP and don't want to wreck that.)
Yuugi sighed, seeing how his question about K1 and he having Persona was not going to get answered tonight. He could see a bit of tiredness in Minato's face, and he was feeling it far more than Minato seemed to be. He looked over at Midori who as all but asleep on her feet. Chibiusa walked over to Midori and tried to support the taller girl as best she could. She turned towards the group and their awkward silence.
"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but some of us are tired. And most of you look pretty exhausted," she said, turning her full attention to Midori, "Can I crash at your place tonight?"
Yuugi made a rather loud and obvious yawn. He'd been missing a lot of sleep lately. Atem was still unconscious, a fact that greatly concerned the teenager. But it wouldn't do either of them any good if he passed out, "Minato-kun, can I stay at your place tonight?" He was too tired to even pay attention to the potential awkwardness of the situation, even as he turned to Midori and Chibiusa, "You two can get to Midori-chan's hotel room, right?"
Chibiusa looked up, "I'm used to running around half the night. We'll be fine, I can get her home if I have to. Midori-chan?" she turned back to the girl and waited for her response.
Although if K1 was anywhere near awake, any comments Midori tried to make about Yuugi's request could be countered with a comment about Chibiusa's. And Chibiusa, despite being over nine hundred years, looked somewhere between twelve and fourteen. So K1 would have a better "awkward" argument. At least until Midori snapped back about Chibiusa's real age. Chances were, however, that everyone was too tired to really have much in the way of an argument. It was extremely late/early, and over half the group had just been through the Dark Hour.

Midori mumbled a, "Sure, okay..." to Chibiusa before going back to snoring on her feet.
K1 turned to Minato, since Midori was now asleep and couldn't make any objections. "Can I... stay at your apartment too? It's kinda late, and it a long walk back to the hotel..."
Still an awkward question to ask.
Souji yawned too. "I think I'm going to go back to my own apartment. Good night, everyone."
Plus, he had something to test. In any case, the silver haired teen started walking back inside.

"Eh!" He had sent Michael back to the world of the authors just before they could turn to see him, so they wouldn't have known he had dragged him down there (just to keep to mugen's seriousness =p) in the first place. He knew how awkward the question was, but he answered with an earnest smile and nod. "You may. I don't mind. I'll just sleep on the floor in the living room," he said.

Yuugi attempted to yawn and speak at the same time, which meant his words came out as gibberish. He shook his head and attempted again, "You don't need to put yourself out... I can sleep on a chair or a couch or something," before yawning again. It wouldn't be hard for Minato to talk Yuugi into his idea, however. The spiky haired teen was asleep on his feet.
Chibiusa bowed, almost causing the lack of support to upset Midori, "It was a pleasure meeting you. Good bye," she spoke rather formally, her upbringing as a princess and diplomat interfering with her casual greeting ability.
Yuugi half-wave d at her as she reached up and took Midori's hands, guiding the teenager away from the scene. She could attempt to contact Nanoha once she was out of site of the group. They were all exhausted and she wasn't sure how the brown haired girl liked to make her entrances. Above and beyond the risk of startling the group, she operated on the assumption that Nanoha might want to keep her powers under wraps. Midori had blown that for her, but she could at least do the favor for the other member of their group.

K1 yawned too. "Yeah, I can just sleep on a chair. I don't mind."

Minato remained silent. That was all there was to be said. Due to the muselessness of the author, he was unsure of what to say, not to mention the assumption that he figured they'd fight with him about it until he got his bed anyway, so... not much could be changed.

Yuugi looked sleepily at Minato, who had chosen not to argue the point. Well, if he insisted, Yuugi didn't really have the energy to argue. He forced his feet forward, but still managed to stumble a bit as he made his way towards the apartment.
It was clear he was tired when he didn't turn around to see if the others were following him. It didn't even occur to him that Minato may have locked his door. He thought he was gonna fall down any second.
-----
Chibiusa turned an alleyway, and caught her breath as she leaned Midori against the side of the building. It was almost like she'd been given a sleeping pill. She looked up into the sky and cupped her hands. It was possible Yuugi, K1, and Minato would hear her, but there was no way she was getting the seventeen year old girl to the hotel on her own.
"Nanoha-san! You there!" she shouted. If that failed... well, maybe she could do something in her soldier form.

K1 followed after Yuugi, heading up to Minato's room. It looked like it was going to be a long night, and he just wanted his COMP close by for protection. It was like his security blanket in a way, except it could summon demons and thus was a lot cooler.
----------------
Nanoha was getting ready to teleport back to Mid-Childa when she heard Chibiusa calling to her. Luckily, she had decided to teleport from around that area, since that was where she had arrived on the island at. Without much effort, she flew down to where Chibiusa and Midori were.
"You called?" She asked.

(OOC: Okay.)
Luckily, the door had been left ajar, although it seemed rather odd that almost every door in the hall was open. If Yuugi had been more awake, or Atem conscious, that might have raised an eyebrow or two. He sat down in the chair when he realized the others weren't with him, but was almost instantly asleep. Before the other two teens got there, in any case.
If Minato, or even K1 insisted that he sleep somewhere else, it would be a matter of moving the boy. He was pretty heavily asleep, and wouldn't wake up. The weight of the puzzle didn't even put the boy at a normal weight for his age, being extremely short and skinny as he was. At least he didn't snore...
----------
Chibiusa let out a sigh of relief and gestured to Midori, "She's kind of asleep on her feet, and I'm not really strong enough to carry her all the way back to the hotel. I can get there by foot, but do you think you can carry her?" she paused for a moment, "Oh, and one other thing. Is there anything called a Dark Hour or Persona in your world?"
That question had the potential to start an entire conversation, actually. But Chibiusa wanted to be sure. She hadn't been able to piece things together back at the apartment complex. She'd try and cut off any potential questions if it came to that. Sure, she was used to being up at night, but she wanted at least some sleep...

K1, meanwhile, fell asleep in another chair that was, incidentally, right next to Yuugi's. On his way over, he grabbed his COMP and stuffed it in his pocket, just to make sure this didn't happen again.
----------------
Nanoha took Midori off of Chibiusa's hands, and found Midori weighed a lot more than she thought.
As for the Dark Hour question, Nanoha shook her head. "No, I've never heard of such a thing. Why?"

And Minato went to bed. They would finally get some good sleep that night now that the Dark Hour had just passed and all of them would be very sleepy.
