00110001| Out of the flying pan into the fire? [OPEN]

[cutestprogrammer]

Characters: Chihiro Fujisaki and you!
Setting: Starts from the 4th Floor (outside RM 04-08) then all over the tower, towards nightfall! (Mun? Why u do dis?)
Format: Either is fine~
Summary: Chihiro is absolutely terrified and disoriented upon his arrival here and has wandered out of his dorm room trying to find a way home only to encounter the monsters that come out at night... MONDO SOMEBODY SAVE HIM!
Warnings: Monsters? And anyone who doesn't know him will definitely think he's a girl. He's baby-faced, dressed in a girl's school uniform (it's rather conservative in style and not super short!), short (just under 5 foot) and his voice hasn't changed yet. Plus Chihiro is a unisex name...

[W-what is this place? Is this part of the school? But this isn't his room! Where are his clothes? Why is there a collar round his neck? Why couldn't he move just now? Is this Monobear's doing? What is going on? Why can't he remember coming into this room? All these thoughts race round Chihiro's head as he pulls himself up sobbing from the bed. He has to find the others. Maybe he should go look for Mondo. Mondo will protect him! He is certain of that!

Though he's still shaking with fear, he makes himself look all over the room for his clothes, eventually finding them in the chest at the foot of his bed. He quickly dresses. Then he grabs the telescope stand inside the chest as a weapon. He's not sure if it'll be good enough... but he has to try! He has to! This is part of being stronger!

Then he carefully opens the door and heads outside, clutching the telescope stand for dear life! For a moment, he just stares at the glass floor under his feet. Then he suddenly hears a cry of pain. He turns over to look...]

AHH!  S-S-S-Stay away from me! Don't-Don't come near!! [He waves his makeshift weapon at the Bullfairy flying towards him!] Don't- [Then he blots and runs off blindly in a wild panic!]

Comments

[cutestprogrammer]

A... santuary?

[Looks for the note then pales considerably after reading.] D-destroyed? Our homes have been destroyed??

[firstofthefallen]

They would have such believed.

[The tone of his voice, however, shows how little he thinks of the idea.]

They provide no evidence, as far as I am aware, than this note. There is no reason to believe what they've said.

[cutestprogrammer]

[And somehow that tone calms Chihiro.]

There is no evidence... Mn! Perhaps it's just a hoax then!

[firstofthefallen]

That is what I would believe, miss.

Unless they can provide ample evidence, there is no reason to believe what they've left us with is true. And I can already think of benefits to making us think they're being honest and making us stay here.

[cutestprogrammer]

What do they want with us?

[firstofthefallen]

To assemble an army, perhaps, although that would be extreme.

[But still logical as far as he was concerned.]

Maybe to study other worlds in general by abducting those who live there. Perhaps studying us specifically.

[cutestprogrammer]

An army...?

[Why would anyone want him for an army? He wasn't strong at all... The second point was worrying though.]

S-Study us?

[firstofthefallen]

[Man. Your hesitation was something he could ignore at first but it's beginning to become annoying.]

The best way to understand a world is to understand those who live in it.

[cutestprogrammer]

[But he can't help it...]

I see...

Have you been outside this room yet?

[firstofthefallen]

[He'd better learn to by God or living together is going to be an unpleasant experience >:|

Lucifer shakes his head a little.]

No. I wanted to see if there was anything of interest in the room first before moving forward.

[cutestprogrammer]

[It's... going to take a while...]

Have you found anything then?

[firstofthefallen]

No. Nothing. Only the note and what bare accompaniments we've been given.

I suppose it will soon be time to explore the Tower in earnest.

[cutestprogrammer]

I see.

Are you... going now?

[firstofthefallen]

I am.

[And he's hoping you have no intentions of trying to follow him. Only a couple of minutes and he finds your personality unbearable Chihiro.]

[cutestprogrammer]

... [He's going to say here while more before venturing out himself. He does not wish to bother you since he can feel that you don't really like him.] Please be careful.

[firstofthefallen]

[Lucifer stops, the door open, and turns to face Chihiro, eyebrows raised.]

You will have to eventually venture out of the room too, will you not?

Or do you intend to stay here in the false security it confers?

[cutestprogrammer]

[nods] I understand. I just want to stay in here a little while longer first.
