02: Mundane is best

[doublechecks]

Who: Lelouch and You!

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

[nemophila]

[--Wait what. That definitely catches him off guard, and he gulps a little anxiously.]

Uh-- world... domination...?

[U N S U R E]

[doublechecks]

...It was a joke.

[There's a note of snark there.]

[nemophila]

...Oh.

[If there was ever any doubt he was bad at normal social interaction, this was it.]

Uh... That would make more sense.

[doublechecks]

It's simply far-fetched for a single teenager to do all that, don't you think?

[Says the guy wearing the royal clothes of his own world.]

[nemophila]

Not really... I've seen just one person capable of horrible destruction on their own.

[Oh boy has he seen it!!]

[doublechecks]

...On his own?

[...Well, that... sounds interesting ngl.]

[nemophila]

He was granted power and spurred on by others, but he manipulated people and carried out most of his actions on his own...

[Lelouch can you tell how much he doesn't like this topic of conversation anymore, because he's looking pretty unsettled.]

[doublechecks]

[...Alright, he's also unsettled since that description hit almost too close to home.]

...I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable.

[nemophila]

[He grimaced a little, mostly at himself, before shaking his head, both at Lelouch and himself.]

No it's... my fault. Don't worry. [S-Siiiigh.] I shouldn't have brought it up...

[doublechecks]

...Mm, it was my joke that started it off in the first place, so I'm the one who should be apologizing here.

[tl;dr this is totally my fault bro.]

[nemophila]

The world I come from isn't very...average. [To put it bluntly.]

I'm just not... accustomed to, situations like this, I guess.

[It kind of has been about ten years since he had a civil conversation with normal people.]

[doublechecks]

...Ah.

[Well that was awkward. Now... what in the world can he do to alleviate this?]

Say, do you play chess?

[nemophila]

--Huh?

[Granted the question caught him a little off guard. He was kind of still using to ruminating when he screwed something up, especially without Maya to snap him out of it.]

Yes... I know how to play, but I've never played with many people before. [Or, any people.]

[doublechecks]

Well, then, I suppose I'll have to fix that later.

[Because he's too damn lazy to get down to the elevator right now.]

[nemophila]

[He just kind of blinks for a minute to process it. He didn't exactly get many offers to...do, anything, back home. Other than joining the party.

But after a minute, he ventures a cautious smile.] That sounds fun, actually...!

My name is Jun Kurosu. It's nice to meet you... [Even if the conversation topic wasn't exactly the best.]

[doublechecks]

Lelouch. That is my name.

[Offering his hand for a handshake.]
