[OOC: Flowing and shifting. A form that never stays the same. Memories that flow and slip. A body that drowns those who come near.
For looks, I'm picturing something similar to whatever this is in the sense of being a completely see-through shape, no internal organs, and things like hair or clothes only a vague outline. Except, as his form can't stay the same, it'll look like he's having some trouble maintaining it. Gravity getting in the way and all that. Maybe even collapsing to the ground if startled or touched. His surface is constantly moving, so mainly for 999 related reasons, facial features won't be visible at all. Yet, somehow, it's still possible to just know that it's him...
As far as powers go, your characters can also have their memories altered while too close, if you'd like. Maybe they could even trade or share memories temporarily. Junpei has no conscious control over that, so it's 100% your call. Since the drowning isn't caused by direct contact, you can choose how close "near" is, as well. He doesn't want anyone dying...]
[1] - Maintenance Tunnels
[They're free. They're really free, and yet, that's not enough. Not when there's still that awful feeling that those who hadn't been locked away might have had it worse. That they might even still be in danger. That every second wasted on navigating the tunnels rather than checking on them just adds that much more risk.
So from the very first moment, Junpei only has one goal: get back to the bunker.
Which is.. easier said than done.
It's once he's started towards zone three that he notices.. changes. For one, he can't run fast. There's resistance like in water, and-- Wait, no.
Looking down at himself, everything.. is water? That's...
There's a shape to him, at least. While he's still, it does look similar to his own body. Kind of. Maybe. But even such a small movement as his chest rising with each breath is enough to send ripples across the surface, obscuring everything. And moving something more, like an arm or a leg... No, there's nothing recognizable left to him at all.
Those still in the maintenance tunnels as well may find him.. stopped. Moving somehow. Flowing. But not making any progress towards the exit.
He needs a moment to take all of this in.]
[2] - Zone Three, anywhere
[Maybe the cold, or unexplainable lack of it, has caused him to lose his way. Or maybe he didn't have anywhere to go in the first place? His train of thought seems to flow away just as easily as his form.
He's still sure he needs to regroup. Needs to find anyone who wasn't infected. But where exactly he's headed...
For now, he'll just check out whatever buildings he comes by, hoping someone will be there. That's the easiest way to remember, right?]
[3] - Bunker, inside or out
[He's going to reach the bunker eventually, though. Whether he can really get inside or whether he has to wait at the door, he knows this is where he needs to be.
... Except... Maybe he's forgotten why.
Will others stay long enough for him to figure things out? Or will they run away and leave him even more confused? He sure wouldn't blame them for choosing the latter...]
