...don't mind him while he mopes...

Characters: Ganta Igarashi and whoever is available to join
Setting: Dorm room #2-10, then immediately to the first floor's cafeteria
Format: Whatever, is fine with me.
Summary: He's having trouble accepting that crap. Slap him around, a bit? He'll come around.
Warnings: He can control his blood and use it as a weapon, for those... characters with violent tendencies. ♥

The black-haired teenager had read the two letters at least ten times, a piece (after freaking out just a bit at the thirty seconds of paralysis, of course). No matter how many times he reads the one explaining his situation, though, he still cannot seem to bring himself to believe any of it. Despite the truth becoming more and more obvious. Despite the fact that there are other people here, some obviously... against their will.

He finds himself standing it what appears to be a cafeteria. How he got there, he is completely unsure of. He goes through the motions of getting his food, almost in the way a robot would-no sign of emotion, no sign of even being in touch with reality. Ganta stares down at the bowl of oatmeal, after sitting down at the first empty table he reaches, realizing that he has absolutely no desire to even touch it. What is the point? If Earth was destroyed, then what does he have left? There is no way this is what surviving would feel like, though. No way, in hell, is this just... it for everyone he ever knew.

An image of Shiro plays into his mind and he suddenly feels the urge to throw up. If not for the fact that his stomach is completely empty, he likely would have. Nagi, Karako, Senji, Yoh, Minatsuki... everyone... Everyone cannot possibly be dead, right? This is all a game, ...right? A trick? Even if it is not, they are all here, as well, ...right? He squeezes his hand into a fist, a hint of a reminder of the open cut on his thumb. The pain in his thumb, from when he tested his “it's a dream” theory, is nowhere near what it was.

If this truly is real, then why him?! What the hell did he do to deserve to be the last one? To suffer through a reality without anyone he ever cared about? First, his friends from school, now this?! Wait... is it possible that the "Red Man" could have done this? No, that is a stupid thought. Why would that kind of monster save him?

The longer he stares at the oatmeal, the more he has the desire to throw it at the wall. If it were not for the increasing feeling of numbness he suddenly finds himself with, he probably would.

While most things in the tower are pretty cruel, it seems especially cruel that this month there isn't even coffee available at the cafeteria. So, Zelgadis is sitting at the table with a cup of water and one crumbly nutrition bar, dipping said bar into the tepid water to soften it a little.

He looks over at the table next to him where the newcomer is staring blankly at a bowl of oatmeal and gives him a weary sigh.

"Just eat it. It's by far not going to be the worst thing to happen to you."
nobarnacles: (not buying it)

"About a month, not that it's any of your business."

He's not intentionally being mean, but he was cold and bitter even before he got pulled to the tower. This is just a kid, though, and Zelgadis could probably do with toning it down a notch.

"If you're just going to stare at it, why did you even bother taking a bowl? It would be curious to see if you can starve to death here."

....okay, that's not really toning it down.
nobarnacles: (go on...)

"Well, you're not going to eat anything else until you do, so you might as well choke it down now."

Zelgadis takes a bite of his soggy, bland bar. Now there are crumbs in his water. Things could be worse.

"Unless you really do want to starve."
