towerofanimus | ❁ [ first kickoff ]

Characters: Haruna and you!
Setting: Mid-afternoon, fourth floor. Before the dinner is served.
Format: Whichever you fancy.
Summary: Haruna arrives in the Tower, in this weird dress no less. After wondering around the first six floors, she decides to take a break in the lounge.
Warnings: Scared 13 thirteen year old girl. But that's nothing new.

She couldn't help but sigh at the situation she was in.

It was still hazy, but she knew she fainted before coming here. There were those two players, one with white wings on his back and one in black tights. The latter had grabbed her wrist and said something about being chosen. Then ... nothing. She tried and tried to remember, but it was no use. This odd dress she was in was probably his handy work as well.

Then there was this place. The collar and the letter and floor numbers just swarmed around her head. The letter told her clearly that her world was destroyed, but she can't - she can't just accept that! She didn't want to. If it had, then what about the team and her senpais? Her school? Her home? Her foster family? ... Her brother? After reading the letter, she was so desperate to find them all safe and sound that she didn't even check what she had on and rushed out of her room.

But despite all that, she couldn't find them.

"Aaaah! I hate this!"

Her frustrated shout echoed in the large space, followed by rather loud stomach growl.

... And why she is hungry now of all times? She sighed yet again.

Hey, join the club. If you come to enough meetings you'll even get a Letterman jacket for your troubles.

[Rose had come to the lounge to find a relatively quiet place to work on her music, but she can't help but snark at that outburst. damn did she know the feelings, girl.]

[ holy cow what -

Obviously taken by surprise, Haruna turns around to see Rosa, sitting not that far away from her. Now embarrassed and hungry, she gives the other girl a sheepish grin. ]

Good to see that I am not the only one. Sorry for shouting out like that though.

[that gets Rose to chuckle a little]

Hey, it's no problem. There's a lot worse that some loonies have done around here than shriek in public places.

[ Oh. Aha. It looks like she's pretty carefree person. Haruna relaxes reflexively. ]

Oh really? I just arrived here so I don't have any clue - ...

Could you tell me more about this place? I'd really appreciate it!

Sure, why not? It's a pretty basic concept - the place is total shit and gets off on torture porn, which is pretty much why we're here. Even when it's not actively trying to shred us to pieces you've got to watch your step or something'll probably snap off a foot.

... That's worse than what I imagined.

[ She knew something fishy was going on. But torture p-porn? Goodness! ] But it's better to know about these things than not.

You're telling me. Not like this place is going to give you any time to get acclimated.

[and most people don't have time like Rose does, so better safe than sorry.]

[ Now that's out of the way, she has to ask something else. ]

And just one more question. Is there any way to check who's here? I am looking for someone ...

Grab a computer and give a shout on the network if it's not shitting itself today. It's a hell of a lot faster than walking around the whole damn tower looking for someone, although it's kind of a crapshoot about whether they'll be here or not.

[she shrugs] Place doesn't make much sense with shit like that.

Oh a computer? I am pretty competent with them. Let's see if my skills are the same here.

[ Making a post didn't sound like something too hard for her anyway. Let's just hope it's not something like Windows XP ...

She gives the other girl a slight bow before anything though.]

Thanks for answering all that stuff! I'm Haruna by the way. You are?

Rose. There's some pretty heavy shit going on around here, so the least somebody can do is make sure the newbies are ready for it. [she shrugs a little]

Forewarned is forearmed and all that shit.

I can't think of a better welcoming gift here. Thanks to it, I think my mind is working more properly now.

[ She looks over Rosa's shoulder curiously and finds what she has been working on. ] Oh, this is music right ... ?

[she glances up for a second, not particularly pleased with the invasion of privacy but in a calm enough state of mind that she'll let it go. the girl doesn't have the same creeper vibes as Harley or Lalonde at home.

if Haruna is familiar with music at all she'll notice that the piece is a classical one with markings all over it - she's working on a remix rather than a completely original piece.]

Yeah. It may be a circus of misery 24/7 around here, but that doesn't mean I can't indulge in my own fucking hobbies anyway.

[ Sorry, nosiness has no cure.

Oh. Hmm ... Haruna might not know too much about music, but she has enough knowledge to know that what Rose is working on isn't easy. ]

I wish I have a hobby like that. It's so elegant! Plus, I don't think managing a soccer team counts for a hobby.

[alas, if only Rose were scientifically inclined. she could cure nosiness and win the Nobel Prize.]

That's more of an internship than anything else. But this place is a fuckton of free time when it's not trying to rip your organs out, so you could go looking for something a little more creative if you wanted to.

So you have to make your own fun.

[ Well thinking about thing she can do here has lifted her spirits up all little. Even if her organs might be ripped off or something. ]

If it isn't for the scary stuff, I might have actually enjoyed this kind of place.

Speak for yourself. I was kind of in the middle of some shit before I got sidelined on this unwanted vacation.

So that so ...?

[ What would a girl around her age be doing? Come to think of it ... ]

How old is Rosa-san, by the way? I'm thirteen.

Same. This place seems to really like picking on kids for some reason. [she was doing a lot of things that weren't age appropriate, unfortunately]

Whao. Really? But you seem pretty mature ... [ At least the other girl had confidence when it came to speaking her mind. It's pretty impressive. ]

But picking on kids, huh? That's pretty low.

I've had a lot of situations where I had to grow up or get crushed. [she shrugs. that's just how it went.]

Yeah, the place is pretty much a piece of shit through and through. If you can think of a line it's probably leapt over it at least once already.

The more I hear about this place, the more it reminds me of a scary movie.

[ She sighs. But then there is another rumble of complaint from her stomach. Pretty loudly too.

... Well, dang. u//u]

Just make sure you're not an extra and you should be fine. [she inclines her head a little]

...if you remember to eat, that is.

A-Ahahaha. [ Haruna scratches the back of her head. Whoo that was embarrassing! ] Sorry. I just hadn't had the chance to look for the cafeteria yet.

Looking for my brother totally took over my mind.

Yeah, getting your bearings usually overrides petty shit like having food in your stomach.

[is she kidding? is she serious? it's impossible to tell with Rose.]
