Characters: Sakuma and open
Setting: around the tower
Format: starting action but either is okay
Summary: Sakuma's not exactly happy with being here so he's trying to look for better explanations than stupid pieces of paper
Warnings: nothing yet

[There is absolutely no way he's going to believe some letter telling him his world got destroyed. There has to be a mistake somewhere, never mind the fact that he's now in some weird place, because accepting that would mean accepting the people he knows are gone too. And that's just too terrible to even think about.

So he sets off to find who's in charge here. And maybe challenge them a soccer game or something when he finds them because that's obviously how you solve problems. By beating someone in soccer.

Yeah.]

_{[Holy smokes, someone in the tower that's decently close to her height.

You don't how rare you really are, Sakuma.

Sayaka plays it cool, though. She gives him a lazy wave.]}

Yo. Another day, another couple hours wasted staring at all this boring decor, right?

[Sorry but he has important things to attend to and this girl doesn't look like she's going to be much help. He considers ignoring her but then again maybe talking to her might be benefitial...]

I wouldn't know.

[What with being new and everything.]

--Oh. 'Kay.

_{[Eesh, snubbed.]}

[Okay, no. That was rude. Let's try that again.]

I just woke up here so I don't know anything about this place, so your question really has no meaning for me.

--Oh!

_{[Geez, you'd think she'd have figured how to spot a newbie by now, too... Sayaka rubs at the back of her head sheepishly.]}

Sorry 'bout that. Uh. _{I should start reciting a speech for this or something.} ..Welcome to the tower, it's really boring and white until you're suddenly in a forest or something crazy.

[From her reaction he can deduct that people regularly arrive here spontaneously. He's... not sure how to think of that yet though but maybe there's hope for someone familiar here.]

Are you like me then? Trapped here because your world got destroyed.

[Rolls his eye to indicate just how much he believes that letter.]

_{[She fortunately catches the eye roll, else she would have burst into a vehement display of no way the world's destroyed, episode five billion. As it is, Sayaka gains a strained, somewhat sardonic grin.]}

Yeah, a fellow refugee.

[...Yeah, refugee is label he's not that happy with.]

I'm going to assume you've been here for awhile. Is there anything I should know before I track down whoever's responsible?

Yeah, that I'll be wishing you good luck. There's been people here a long time trying that, too, and the best bet we've had so far is just messages through the computers. And that's only when they really deign to say hi.

[...Oh. That's a little disappointing.]

You can only contact them through computers?

[That's probably smart of them though. He supposes not a lot of people here would be happy with them.]

_{[She crosses her arms and nods, grudgingly.]}

..but they're gonna slip up eventually. I'm sure of it.

We can only hope so. Nobody's perfect so when they do...

[He tips his head to the side slightly as he regards her-- having allies here wouldn't be a bad idea though.]

I'm Sakuma.

..when they do, we pounce!

_{[She says that complete with a brief air-clawing.]}

Sakuma, got it. My name's Sayaka.

[He wants to make a face at that but he'll ignore it and give her a nod of acknowledgment instead.]

They can't fight us all off. [Wait.] There are others here, right.
