It is... an unfortunate consequence of his diligence throughout the week that he should fall so quickly. He is first set upon by the Wyld Fae in the middle of his tireless work, and by this point he's thoroughly exhausted himself. It's because of this that the moment he even begins to move with them, he's seized by the will of the Huntsman, and just as mindlessly as the rest of them, he follows in their stead. He'll likely be easy to fend off thanks to his weak state, but until that point he'll be just as persistent in his attacks as he was in his mechanical work.
[DARK: A CALLING UNHEARD OF]
This one... He doesn't quite realise what's going on despite the distant whispers.
It simply doesn't register with him that his other half could be in danger, and though he has no intention of forsaking his "ideal self", he doesn't begin to seek him out when the horde arrives. Not at first.
Instead, he'll be bounding away from them, through them, eagerly taking anything sturdy-looking that he can find to combat some of the weaker foes with. And when he comes across someone he recognises from the carnival that doesn't seem hostile, he'll grind to a halt and quickly inquire, "Do you need help?"
Eventually, they must come together. Eventually, they must find one another.
And find each other they do. It's after his dark half has fended off more fae that light suddenly pounces on him, knocking him to the ground with his sheer size and the element of surprise. The two struggle for awhile, though dark is hesitant to hurt his other half, Carly's words having apparently stuck with him through today.
Fighting, dark eventually realises, is absolutely futile, and if this continues for much longer then the other fae will surely assault him next, and one of them will definitely die. He can't put himself through that - he can't put Carly through that.
He will not let himself die.
Dark seizes light's collar in a moment where he staggers, and with a snarl he cries, "Wake up and smell the roses!"
He hardly cares if anyone's watching as he smashes their lips together into a messy kiss.
Light struggles at first, but he quickly finds himself trapped under dark's weight, gripped by his many claws and held in place as dark insists that he remembers who they are through the Huntsman's will. And, eventually, his struggling ceases, and dark is surprised when his kiss is returned. And then it's like they fall into each other.
And then they're Yuusei again, really Yuusei again.
From here he scrambles to his feet, unsure of what just happened to him and frankly unwilling to attempt to process it right now. Right now, he just knows he's in danger.
[CLOSED TO YUUGO: A FATHER AND SON OUTING]
'So um. I need some help finding the other half of myself...'
This is not what Yuusei wanted to hear - the whole one would've been quite distraught, but his dark half is just annoyed. And also distressed, mildly. And yet despite convincing himself that he needed to only worry about his own person, he still ends up taking incredibly unnecessary turns and paths to try to locate any banana children amongst the oncoming horde. Pipe in-hand, he attempts to keep away from the bigger groups while striking at some of the weaker sorts who come too close.
"Yuugo! YUUGO!"
...
He might've forgotten that Yuugo's other half was out there, by the time he rejoins, if it wasn't for the crackle of radio static that sounds shortly after he picks up his pace again mentioning it. He's stressed because Reira isn't in the immediate vicinity, and while he's sure she's fine, he doesn't want to risk calling her and drawing some unwanted attention toward her in case she's hiding. If nothing else, he has to bring at least one of these kids home safe.
Unsure of how exactly he's going to track him down, he starts calling out Yuugo's name once more, though he worries that might not work. Then, with a brief frown of thought, he takes a deep breath and-
"FUSION IS BETTER THAN SYNCHRO"
WILDCARD/NOTES: I'm retconning Yuusei's initial Shabon toplevel; instead of remerging on D97, he's instead remerging early into The Hunt! No threads occurred with merged Yuusei before this point, so I figure it's fine. These prompts are mostly meant to give a general idea of what his halves are doing before they fight and how Yuusei's doing after he becomes whole again. If you have any specific ideas, you're free to come at me! I'm also happy to expand upon any of the prompts I've given here.
