towerofanimus | Open sesame~

Characters: Roxas, his roomies, and anyone else who pokes their head in.
Setting: Room 1-16.
Format: Starting prose, matching you~
Summary: Hey, there's a new, occupied room on the floor- and it seems to be full of...yawning?
Warnings: Rox is the master of being oblivious. Also, Ven may potentially threadhop any comment thread on this entry, fair warning ~~because Plus is all skurred to post her own entry trololololo~~.

It took him quite a moment to realize he was awake in the proper sense of the word, really. He sure didn't feel it, and frankly was between drowsy and stiff, a deep ache setting in his muscles. It only took a few moments to sort of remember why- he'd fallen off the tower, hadn't he...? Oh damn, oh geez- 'Am I alive...?' The boy opened his eyes sluggishly, taking in the sight of a stark white ceiling. Took a deep breath. Yep, alive. Then, when he felt like he could move...rolled on to his side and yawned, closing his eyes again. Obviously he was in the hospital. Not, that he'd been to the hospital before- but where else could he be? It wasn't like he could fall off a tower and not be hurt somehow. It was probably better to not get up and do too much.

"...figures." The word was pretty stark in the otherwise-quiet seeming room. He hadn't bothered to check his surroundings or wonder any further. It never seemed to occur to him that there could be anything else going on at all...

"Huh?" Errr who the heck was that. Oh geez were random people wandering in to his room? Other patients, maybe?

"Uh...good morning." Roxas didn't seem eager to sit up, but he at least leaned up on an elbow, facing the doorway. "I guess I'm new? Uh, you wouldn't happen to know where the doctor is...?"

"The Doctor?"

He smiled.

"That's me!"

Oh. Well, that was easier than he expected.

"Um...am I okay?" He's bothered by the lack of bones-being-powder and all. "...uh, I mean, can I go now?"

"...I don't know. Are you?"

The Doctor frowns.

"Go where? I thought you were looking for me."

"Well, I feel okay, but shouldn't I, not? I fell off a building, didn't I?"

This conversation was going all sorts of nowhere, wasn't it.

"Well, yeah I was looking for you." Duhhh. "I wanted to know if I was free to leave. My friends are probably waiting for me outside."

With any luck, Hayner wasn't pillaging the supposed hospital's snack machines for ice cream bars or something ridiculous.

"I'm sorry...there's no way out of the tower yet."

"...tower?"

Pause. And another. And, a third for good measure. (So I guess ellipses?)

"What kind of hospital is this?" He is beginning to assume everyone in here is insane and he somehow ended up in the psych ward of the hospital.

"It isn't a hospital. It's a prison. Well. A temporary one. I'm going to get us out of here in no time. None at all!"

"...a...prison."

This is his believing face.

"Why would I be in a priso-" Wait durr those, stalker things of his. "Wait, does this have to do with those monsters?"

The Doctor smiled at him.

"You have done nothing wrong, young man. Nothing at all. I'm not sure what's really going on, but you can read the letter in your trunk for our captor's story." His smile disappeared.

"What monsters?"

Well, this guy was reassuring at least. And if he didn't know what was going on either, then Rox felt a bit better.

"...I'll read them in a bit." Pause. "Uh, these monsters have been following me for a couple days ago. None of my friends ever noticed them. Then I fell off the clock tower and woke up here."

This poor child. Followed by monsters he couldn't see. That wasn't alright. That wasn't okay. No, no, no, the Doctor simply wouldn't allow it.

"Well, once I get us out of here, I'll be sure to take care of those monsters. It's a thing I do, get rid of the things that go bump in the night."

He smiled reassuringly.

"I am the Doctor and it is very nice to meet you."

"...you...can take care of them?" His eyes actually widened a bit at that. "I-I mean, thank you! Nobody else believed me about them..."

But that'd come later.

"Um, I'm Roxas. It's nice to meet you too." Pause. "...considering the circumstances, anyway."

"Well, now there's somebody to believe in you. isn't there?" He grins, and ruffles Roxas' hair.

"Considering the circumstance, indeed."
