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!]

Oh...

[shakes head] I haven't eaten anything yet. Oh, okay...

[busstopsign]

[DAMMIT. That is just when he'd fought all his way up... Shinjiro sighs.]

You wait here. Should be back in about thirty minutes. If I ain't back, assume I died.

[He says is to nonchalantly.]

...we don't really die here. Just end up waking up a day later in bed.

[AND OFF HE GOES AGAIN!]

[cutestprogrammer]

Ah! But-but I don't have to eat now! I can eat tom- die?? Don't really- wait!

[But Shinjiro has already run off... so there's nothing much for Chi-tan to do but to sit down in the hallway and wait.]

[busstopsign]

[About twenty-five minutes later, the sounds and screams of the monsters can be heard as Shinjiro returns, the outfit covered in splatters of probably a bunch of monsters, both with blood and...who could really tell what it was, plasma? green glowing stuff?...regardless there was a lot of it. He put the axe over his elbow when it was all done, panting heavily before Augustus disappeared again when the monsters left. He turned to see the kid and silently dumped a bowl in his hands that was in a plastic wrap. The cover had protected it from the carnage splatter.]

Here.

[And you better eat it up and not complain about the taste.]

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro feels so guilty when he sees the state Shinjiro is in when he comes back.]

T-Thank you...

[He doesn't really feel hungry anymore but... he doesn't want to make him angry so he removes the plastic wrap and silently eats up the icky oatmeal, before asking...] Are you... alright?

My name is late tags

[legatus]

[It's okay. Shinji's seen worse...which is saying something. This is the guy that needed five shots of a gun used to kill elephants with one shot, after all.]

...tch. Don't bother.

[Shinji hates being thanked. He whites some of the glowing plasma as it splatters on the floor.]

Yeah. I'm alright. You get used to this sort of thing where I come from.

Hi, late tags!

[cutestprogrammer]

[He continues eating] What is the place you're from like?

HELLO

[legatus]

[He looks away before answering.]

Same like yours. Only difference is we had the Dark Hour at midnight when the Shadows would come out. Only a few could see it happening at all, most just turned into coffins for the duration of it.

[cutestprogrammer]

Shadows? Are they like g-ghosts? Eh? The Shadows turn into coffins...?

[legatus]

Tch. No.

Humans turn into coffins to escape the dark hour. Those that don't might turn into shadows or die being attacked by them. Only those that were up during the hour knew about it.

[cutestprogrammer]

... humans? Humans can do that? ... then what if you were asleep?

[legatus]

If you weren't turned into a coffin and were asleep during the Dark Hour, that was just asking to be killed since Shadows could attack at any time. What d'you think, would anyone wanna risk that?

[cutestprogrammer]

... but how do you turn into a coffin then...? This is all so confusing...

[legatus]

[He shrugs.]

I ain't the expert on this thing. I just know other humans turned into them. Kept them safe from the attacks.

[cutestprogrammer]

I see... Your world seems very different from mine then.
