OPEN!!

Characters: Canada and all
Setting: Dorm floor; Stairway/Pool Floor; Kitchen/Cafeteria
Format: Either/or
Summary: Canada is making the venture down past all the spooks!
Warnings: none yet



A. Dormitory Floor;

Canada took a deep breath. She couldn't stay locked up in her room forever, like she had since the punishment for skipping work had made her cut a finger and it had bled all over her shirt. Her good shirt....her only shirt. She'd washed it as best she could and tugged her jacket down over her sleeves.

Unfortunately now was the time to get some sort of food in her and that meant braving the staircase. She ventured out of her room and peered down the hallways, trying to ignore the whispering voices and the phantoms in the corner of her eye.

"Everyone alright?"

B. Staircase

One step at a time, one hand on the wall, that was how she had to go. She paused at every door, peering out into the gloom. The pool looked particularly ominous in the dark...

She stepped out, peering at its depths. Maybe it had monsters--no that was silly. Something America would think. She shook her head and made a little 'come-with' gesture at Kumalop who had gone to bat at the water. It didn't help to linger...and she still had to pass that forest. She gave a little shudder and continued down.

C. Kitchen Floor

The harrowing walk down the staircase had finally gotten her here, to the kitchen floor. What a relief. She stepped through the dimly lit cafeteria, swallowing and contemplating if there might be someone just around the corner. That was silly really, she was a nation, she could handle anything lurking in the shadows. But then she heard that proper voice, the one she'd known for years and she swiveled on the spot.

"E-England?"

[America had initially been looking for Canada. She had rushed to her room, found no one there, and immediately ran out again to search for her. Two things happened at once when she got to the kitchen - she spotted a flash of blonde hair she recognized as Canada's, and she heard the same voice as her sister had. It sounded like... no. Must just be some other snobby English lady.]

Maddy...? ... who're you talking to?

In the dark, just around the corner, a tiny ball of green light can be seen against the otherwise black backdrop.

"England? No. 'Fraid not. Not English either. Time Lord. Gallifreyan. Last one. Very special."

A pause, and the Doctor steps forward.

"Miss Maple, are you alright?"

Not to follow suit...

He didn't know how he'd managed to get to the cafeteria without breaking his neck along the way. No lights, staircase... The room was lit just enough that the tables could be seen, and that was better than most of the tower. It was eerily quiet, so when he heard a familiar voice he nearly jumped out of his skin.

Turning to face the darkened silhouette, he frowned and shook his head. "No cherie... I cannot say I am." But like hell he had had a moment of hope that the missing man in question had pulled himself from the shadows unaware to Francis. "Is everything alright?"

[She walks to Canada's side.]

Uh, I... wasn't? [You'd know America's England impression if you heard it. On account of it sounds nothing like England.]

... oh.




... so you weren't talking to anyone...?

[ohgodwhatifthereareghostsinthetower Americ's just going to smile! Nothing bad's happening!!!]

"Only when the power's out." He's going to try to lightly touch her shoulder.

"Miss Maple, this is real. This is reality. Those voices are not. Don't follow them. Focus on me. Focus on Doctor Bowtie and his ridiculous hair. Don't listen to the voices."

Yeah! I mean, it's dark out so if she ended up in the tower she'd get lost right away! [She clenches her fist. She really doesn't want to go any further into the dark. Really really really.]

I guess we should look for her? [Her voice isn't shaking no way!]
spacehipster: (Give me trumpets)

"I don't know. It's unnaturally fluffy and sticky-outy. Very bizarre." He grinned a little.

"Where do you want to go? We can stay here or I can take you to your room? Or...?"

[She talks herself up.] Yeah! Yeah we should! It's not like the dark can hurt us hahahahhahahahahaha... [She grabs Madeline's hand and walks further into the kitchen.]
spacehipster: (And just go there)

"Good. Good. Good. Your safety is priority here. Good. Okay. Now plan. I need one. There are several children lost in the dark and--Amy. I need to find Amy. Amy without Doctor and without Rory. Not good. I need to find her."

He stepped closer, almost cautiously. Like you'd approach a spooked horse, as Canada was doing an amazing job of impersonating one. The smile that he could barely see was forced and she was standing a little too stiff for her to be completely comfortable.

Not that anything about this was comfortable, bodies around and shadows seeming thicker than normal. Nodding, he offered a bit of a solution.

"I heard there are flashlights by the infirmary but really, it is quite questionable if we should be venturing out in the first place." Paternal instincts kicking in and all, he offered her his most reassuring smile. Quietly adding "You should be in your room, petite. I will help you back..."

[America tries to place the direction the voice is coming from, swallowing hard.] Yeah... [She forces herself forward, holding Canada's hand tightly.] Hey, England! We're over here, c'mon already!

Shit... she did that stubborn in denial thing that Mathieu was capable of. Ignoring the pang of longing for the boy, he focused on his other half that was trying to boldly go past him in the dark. Sighing to himself, Francis watched her somewhat wearily. Curiosity besting him, he broke the silence.

"Why were you calling out to Arthur? You and I both know he is not here, Madeline," Somewhat hesitantly, he added: "Unfortunately. This place is not safe. Put my old heart at ease and allow me to walk you back there."

Back there was just as dreadfully dim as the rest of this hellhole. "Just this once, non?"
