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

[Chihiro on the other hand, being from a time before Oowada accidentally killed him, has no idea at all what his friend is talking about or referring to.]

O-Oowada-kun? What are you talking about?

[mustlovedogs]

[And it hasn't dawned on Mondo that Chihiro could be from a different time. Or a world that's entirely different, even.]

Don't make me say it...you know what I mean, in the locker room, when I...killed you... I just...you know what I'm like! I can't control it, you know?!

[cutestprogrammer]

You... [Chihiro just stands there in shock. Why would Mondo kill him? Mondo who always seemed so righteous and who had promised to help him and all that... Mondo must be mistakened because that didn't happen (yet)!]

But-But... [And he finds the courage to firmly reply.] You didn't kill me, Oowada-kun! You must have been tricked into thinking so!

[mustlovedogs]

Nah, it definitely happened...it was just like with Kuwata. You don't gotta say stuff like that, I know what I did. That's why I'm apologising, right?

[He still doesn't get it even after Chihiro's reaction...]

[cutestprogrammer]

No, it isn't! You really didn't kill me, Oowada-kun!

[Look at him, Mondo! He's alive and there's not even a scratch on his forehead!]

[mustlovedogs]

Then was it your twin?! What'd I get executed for, aa?! Don't you remember, I was yelling and then-?! You just don't remember it 'cause you died just like that!

[This is too much for his poor brain to take]

[cutestprogrammer]

B-But I didn't die... I don't remember anything like that at all...

[And he gets teary because Mondo is shouting at him and saying all these scary things about dying and executions, and he doesn't know what's going on either...]

[mustlovedogs]

H-hey, don't do that! I'm not gonna do anything to you! It's the opposite, I want to look out for you and make up for it, okay?!

[He gets to his feet and places his hands on Chihiro's shoulders]

[cutestprogrammer]

[He's still convinced that Mondo didn't kill him at all... But he's not going to argue that anymore. Instead he rubs the tears from his eyes, smiles and nods.]

... [Then he asks something else that has been troubling him] Where are we, Oowada-kun?

[mustlovedogs]

Damned if I know... It's just some tower with monsters and shit.

[Ie. he's really not the best person to ask about technical things]

[cutestprogrammer]

A tower? So we aren't at the school anymore? Are the others here?

[mustlovedogs]

Nah, we'd both be dead there. [Adamant about this] Kuwata too. But there's him, Kirigiri, Naegi and the bear.

[cutestprogrammer]

... [And not going to argue that and Mondo would just get all angry again... but the next person he mentions is most definitely dead.] K-Kuwata-kun?? ... M-Monobear... is here too? Does he control this place too?

[mustlovedogs]

Thought he did. Turns out he doesn't. It's about as bad anyway.

[cutestprogrammer]

So... he's in the same situation as us? [That might actually be good news! Then he gets an idea.] Oowada-kun. Are there any computers here?

[mustlovedogs]

Kind of, I guess...I don't know how much you can do with them.

[Don't ever find out how bad he is with them, okay.]

[cutestprogrammer]

[He brightens up considerably, his confidence boosted at knowing that there are computers here! Perhaps he can be useful to everyone for a change.]

Can you lead me to them, Oowada-kun? I'd like to see them. Perhaps I can find a way out through them!

[Your secret is safe with him, Mondo!]

[mustlovedogs]

You wanna go right now? It's pretty dangerous to be out...but if you want to, I am gonna protect you.

[cutestprogrammer]

[Oh yes, there are monsters about... and though he know Mondo will protect him, he really doesn't wish to be a burden.] ... is it better to go in the morning? Will the monster be gone then?

[mustlovedogs]

Yeah, should be, not like I care anyway, though. It's pretty close, I got your back.

[cutestprogrammer]

But... It's okay! I can wait till morning. I don't want to be a bother to you...

[mustlovedogs]

Nah, I get it, if they had bikes around I'd be going there right away too!

[Because obviously he just wants to check out his hobby, a computer couldn't possibly doing anything more useful, right]

[cutestprogrammer]

Oowada-kun... Mn! Let's go then!

[mustlovedogs]

Hey, you're pretty brave!

[But, well, that's something he already knew after Chihiro confided in him.

He leads Chihiro down the hall until they reach the computers, keeping an eye out for any monsters. He's going to be the best bodyguard.]

[cutestprogrammer]

I-I am? [Brave is the last word he'd ever associate with himself...

He follows Mondo and quickly sits down in front of the terminal. His fingers fly deftly and confidently over the keyboard as he tries to hack into the tower's network.]
