02: Mundane is best

[doublechecks]

Who: Lelouch and You!
What: Just your daily activities throughout the Tower!
When: Morning -> Afternoon
Where: Floor 1, 3 and 25
Format: Action Tags, but I can follow yours if you like!
Warning: N/A for now!

Floor 1:
[You're going to see a male in a very... uh. Fabulous white outfit cooking up a simple meal of eggs and bacon. For some reason, Lelouch had taken it upon himself to cook breakfast and while he's not a good cook, he can at least make them taste decent, as he's spent most of his time back home cooking for his dearest little sister.

Feel free to approach him, though! And give him a little scare or something.]

Floor 3:
[...Why is he doing this again? Manual labor is certainly not his everyday thing as far as his life is concerned. He should be doing something related to finding more things to know about this place, or just. Walking up the st- no, no that's an even worse idea considering his constitution and the dangers associated with those... inhuman things lurking in the tower.

Giving a sigh, Lelouch is going to just, sort books out in the Library should you desire to approach him with a few questions regarding certain books.]

Floor 25:
[Looking over the meadow, Lelouch is just perched on the grass, thinking about... Well, everything, really. The fact that this Tower can and will inflict suffering to anyone brings a small shiver to him. And here he thought he wasn't going to feel fear ever since he was about to die by his friend's hand.

It was meant to happen.

Lelouch vi Britannia had to die. As of right now, he's just a nameless phantom, a left-over trinket from his homeworld borrowing the name. Ah, truly, he is Zero in the truest sense.]

...Hm.

[But for now, he'll take on that name once again. Not to change the world, not to protect but to exist for clearly, there must be a reason for him to be here.]

Comments

[pauldrons]

Much as you can get used to a place in five days, yeah. Only real trouble's the monsters.

[And the collar, which he's reaching up to tug before he seems to stop himself and let all the air in his system out. bad habit? yep.]

[doublechecks]

Ah, yes. A shame that we can't do a thing about them.

[pauldrons]

[That makes Zack pause, then he smiles and shakes his head.] That's where you'd be wrong, man. We can do something about them.

[doublechecks]

[...Oh he definitely gets what he's implying.]

...Please, do tell.

[He can't berate him for being an idiot, (he's not that close yet).

But he certainly can mock him.]

[pauldrons]

[Another pause as he takes a bite out of his sandwich, remembering to chew and swallow before speaking. He has no clue what he's walking into. No clue at all.]

Well, there's two things we can do. We can either fight them off, or we can hide in our dorms for the entire time we're here. Pretty sure I know which one's actually going to do us more good.

[doublechecks]

...Not bad.

[Beat.]

For a neanderthal, that is.

[pauldrons]

[Pause. ......Man, really? Calling him an idiot already? That was faster than he expected!]

Hey, I said it was an option. Didn't say it was the smartest idea in the world.

[doublechecks]

To be honest, that's just not an idea, but common sense.

[pauldrons]

Which you don't see many people using. [another bite, another swallow. Pardon him for being famished, Lelouch.] Besides, I haven't heard anyone else come up with anything else, either.

[doublechecks]

...You have a point, there, true. But that might be because they're too busy recovering from the recent experiment.

[pauldrons]

Experiment? [And that confuses him. He knows what they are, sure, but he had no idea people did experiments here. What the hell did he stumble into this time?]

[doublechecks]

...Maybe you're not as quick-witted as I thought you are.

[Beat.]

Yes, experiments.

[pauldrons]

[...Geez, Lelouch, would it kill you to be nice and tone down on the put-downs? Sheesh!]

Hey, I just got here a few days ago. I've got no idea what happened before then. [siiigh] What kind of experiment are you talking about, anyway?

[doublechecks]

Experiments that involves one person killing another person.

[That enough for you?]

[pauldrons]

[More than enough for him, really. If he didn't need the calories, he'd have stopped eating by now. As it is, he's definitely less cheerful at this point.]

So they yank us from our homes only to turn us into lab rats they kill off. Who came up with that stupid idea?

[doublechecks]

The ones who run this place, obviously.

[Seriously, get on with the program.]

[pauldrons]

I kinda figured that much, you know. [grumble grumble.] But seriously, who are these guys? Cause no scientist I know of would start making his test subjects kill each other.

[Or...actually...Hojo might. But he's stuck here too so that's a non-issue. Mostly.]

[doublechecks]

Someone with a skewed sense of morality, is my guess.

[pauldrons]

No kidding. [siiiiigh] But we'll find 'em eventually. Can figure it out then.

[doublechecks]

No single truth is impossible to find, as long as we give it time, then surely, it will surface.

[pauldrons]

[That implies you have patience, Lelouch. He doesn't.]

Or we could start looking for it. That could work too, you know.

[doublechecks]

Must you always be this direct?

[Man they just met and he can already tell this man's going to be a major pain in the head.]
