towerofanimus | Say hello to your new security officer

Characters: Preston and you
Location: Anywhere and everywhere~
Format: I'll copy you
Summary: Preston's new job.
Warnings: None, unless you're causing trouble.

Preston wasn't entirely certain how to feel about the job that had been given to him. On one hand he really did not care for it as it only served to slow down his plans of escape. On the other hand, if he didn't do this job then he would find himself a walking time-bomb. So it was only natural for him to decide that it would most likely be in his best interests to go along with the job. At least until he was able to find a way to free himself from it and continue on his mission to escape.

Still, that didn't mean that he wouldn't take his job seriously if he did catch anyone doing anything nasty. As such Preston still made certain to keep an eye out on the others. He still did not really trust anyone here and for good reason. Not that that would impede on his ability to work with others here, the soldier just did not feel any desire to truly become friends with anyone here just yet. Sure he's met some nice enough people so far, but kindness only went so far. And as a result he figured that everyone he had met thus far were more like, allies by situation.

In fact, not to long ago, he's already heard about murders and people harming others here. Whether or not they were still allies. Which was another reason as to why he felt that he should keep an eye out for the other people here.

Sighing as he came across another panel before entering the code and continuing onto his next route. This was going to be a very long, long day

Being on floor four was a bit like being on one of the observational decks at Shinra Tower back home, even if the view was different. It was at least a safe(r) floor to be on and easier to think on, too; you didn't have odd whispers or static faces following you.

Reno had draped himself over a sofa, watching the thick clouds roll by and thinking on what kind of power had brought him here, or what it could want with him. His earlier theories that it was some sort of mental ward were long past, so now he wasn't sure if any of his theories fit entirely. He had seen stranger back home, but not in such unending waves.

Something tickled him on the back of his head, and he looked up just in time to see a man moving on the floor. This was one he hadn't seen before, but then there were a lot of people he hadn't seen yet. Reno sat there for the moment just watching. Maybe he'd go away and let Reno continue to roll around in his boredom.

Preston's eyes glanced over to the other person as he passed them by. Raising an eyebrow at them for the barest moment before pausing and sighing. "Do you need any help?"

"Nope. Just sitting." Reno replied, intrigued that this guy sounded, well, professional. "You making the rounds?"

Suzaku was also hard at work. He didn't actually mind the job, though he had to make sure not to run out of oxygen his Geass usually made sure he made it back to the surface. Being under the water was calming.

He was sat on the edge now, resting before he dived in again, it was a large area to clean. Footsteps made him look round.

He nodded, "I am." Came the simple answer, if the guy didn't actually need any help then Preston had to get moving towards the next floor. While he had found looking for the security check panels to be a bit of a pain, he didn't have all that much of a problem finding them.

The soldier, for the most part, did not really take any notice of Suzaku. Instead he began to quickly look around for the place where he was supposed to check in on. After all, exploding was most certainly not on his list of things to do. No matter how much destruction that he himself had caused in the past.

Suzaku watched him but he did not seem to be a threat. He sat in silence for a few moments, "Is everything alright?" He asked politely wondering if he was looking for something.

Now slightly interested, Reno shifted to watch the guy some more. "Hey, how'd you get that job? I thought only colorless got 'em." Of course he meant the collars. He hadn't caught anyone with a colored collar at a job before, but then he might have and just not noticed.

Eleanor continues her rounds through the tower, observing and studying details and organization of everything around her. She stops to study the pool for a moment, staring at her reflection and once more feeling the ridiculous urge to dive in. Water... water is oddly familiar. Almost comforting though it shouldn't be.

She stands up, not realizing she'd been crouching, when she hears footsteps, but she relaxes slightly when she realizes it's Preston. Unseen, she smiles.

"Hello."

"Apparently not." He honestly had no idea how he had gained the job itself. Just that he had, and now he was apparently stuck with it, whether he liked it or not. And he most definitely did not like it.

"Hm? Oh yeah, don't worry about it." He just had to find that stupid panel...Oh hey, there it is. Sighing in relief, Preston quickly made his way towards it.

Oh well now wasn't this a familiar sight? He gave her a small nod and wave in return. "Hey there miss." He called back to her as he continued to do his rounds.

Suzaku watched him, finally understanding that he was one of the security officers. He sat silently until Preston had made his way towards the button, so that the other man wouldn't be hurt.

She fell into step with him, steps falling silent as she moved.

"How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a while."

"I'm alright." You know, not exploding. So he really couldn't complain all that much for the moment.

"I'm glad to hear that." She nods, because that, it seems is a commodity around here. "It has been... eventful, lately."

"Yeah, I've noticed." Not that it's been all that eventful for him, just for others, outside of gaining a job in the tower. Other than that, all seemed to be rather quiet on his side of things...for the moment anyway.

"Have you found out anything interesting, Private Marlowe?"

"Just that they let us become security officers."

"...what?" She sounds genuinely thrown off. "But that doesn't even being to make sense, security of what, the monsters trying to massacre us at night?"
