Being in the tower is suffering

[reversedestiny]

Characters: Sora and anyone who comes across him
Setting: Floor fourteen media room
Format: Actionspam is preferred!
Summary: Sora died at the end of hide-and-seek in a very embarrassing turn. But his death and what happened during it is effecting him badly. So he's trying to blow off some steam.
Warnings: Sora is Not Happy, and he may be somewhat hostile to those heavily in the Light.

[After waking up back in his bed when the last thing he remembers is blinding light, screaming right in his ear and the scent of death, Sora had not been okay at all. He'd quickly gone to sew a hood onto both his dark suit and his normal clothes to help block out the light and somewhat muffle sounds. Since then, he'd been in the media room, playing video games just to kill enemies and try to feel better. But it doesn't help. The paranoia over the light and what happened is still there. It's still with him, and he's shaking visibly. He is most definitely not okay.

But he also doesn't want to talk about it with most people. So perhaps a distraction is better, though he may not be the nicest person right now.]

You tried to kill me. I don't like people who attack me on good days.

[Smacking any and all hands away from his hood, kthnx.]

[ceruleanspid8r]

And you tried to kill me back, so I guess that makes us even on that score.

[Oh come on, no need to be shy. She's not here to fight, this time.]

[reversedestiny]

I didn't try to kill you. I just wanted your heart.

[No, the hood is not there just to obscure his face!]

Cut it out! I'm wearing it for a reason.

[ceruleanspid8r]

Hate to break it to you, but that's pretty much the same thing as wanting to kill me. Kind of need that thing to live, you know?

[And okay fine, she'll stop, but she's coming to sit by him instead]

And that reason would be?

[reversedestiny]

Not back home. You would have just turned into a Heartless.

[Okay, that's better. He won't mind as much, because the hood keeps the light out.]

...I don't exactly like the light.

[ceruleanspid8r]

Yeah well in case you weren't keeping up, this isn't back home. Though I guess I could understand being confused if this is anything like your world back home.

[Idly watching the screen here now, since she can't see him too well and she never was much for these sorts of games]

So you're nocturnal too?

[reversedestiny]

It's a bit different, but not by much.

[He's only interested in this game because it allows him to blow off steam without getting in trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't play it. Maximum destruction is a go.]

Not exactly, but I prefer the dark.

[ceruleanspid8r]

Huh. Guess it sucks to be your world then.

[Probably not a bad habit for her to get into, only she doesn't realise it yet]

Any particular reason?

[reversedestiny]

[He'll teach her, don't worry.]

The light's only caused me pain. Physical and emotional.

[ceruleanspid8r]

Okay, seriously? You're seriously going to let something get the better of you just because it hurt you? That's lame.

[And because Vriska is oh so helpful, she's reaching for the hood again]

You have to fight back, show it you won't just lie back and take its shit.

[reversedestiny]

[He'll quickly reach up to catch her wrist, glaring at her. Meaning she can see his face now, which she might recognize.]

I just got back from being dead, so forgive me if I'm going to stick to my comfort zone for awhile.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Eyeroll is a go. She'd already figured out who he was from their conversation so she's more focused on what he's saying]

And the lame keeps on coming. Boo hoo you died, so how long do you give up for? A day? A week? Next thing you know you're a cowering little wiggler who jumps at his own shadow.

[reversedestiny]

[Vriska why are you giving good advice to the person you tried to kill and who tried to kill you.]

I just want some time in the dark, okay? Get myself back together.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Because she can sort-of admire someone who meets her attempts to kill him with equal attempts to kill her back. Shows a sense of spine]

"Some time" doesn't answer my question.

[reversedestiny]

A few days is all I need to get readjusted.

[He goes back to playing his video game, being quiet.]

...Besides, I need to readjust my senses.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[That gets a long sigh]

Fine. What room are you in?

[Because you'd better believe she's planning to check in and make sure those few days are just a few days]

[reversedestiny]

Room 2-08.

[He'll pause a moment, then look away.]

...Thanks, by the way.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[And that gets her confused]

What for?

[reversedestiny]

The pep talk.

[Whether Vriska realizes she gave it or not.]

[ceruleanspid8r]

[She didn't, really, but far be it for her to turn down gratitude]

You can thank me by being smart enough to listen. I can't say I'm not glad that I might not be the only non-lame person around here.
