towerofanimus | (no subject)

Characters: Bomberman and whoever wants to meet him.
Setting: Practically anywhere -- I WILL MAKE STUFF WORK SOMEHOW. orz
Format: Brackets preferred, but I'll match ya.
Summary: Bomberman's first day in the tower! He'll wake up in 04-14, so anyone in or around that room can catch him there or whatever. He'll also be exploring the different floors to get an idea of his new surroundings and how much he should be panicking. Expect to see him bombing walls or barriers just to see for himself how indestructible the place really is (though he'll try to avoid inhabited places like the cafeteria and the dormitories for this -- he tends to be conscious of collateral damage).
Warnings: None that I can think of, but if shit happens I'll edit this. :|b

[Bomberman's more than a little unsettled when he wakes up in a bed not his own and finds the letter telling him that his world has been destroyed. Given its laughable terseness, however, he's not much inclined to believe it at the moment. (Plus, he just saved the world from being destroyed by its original creator. No way is he going to suddenly believe that it was all for nothing without some serious evidence.) And it's not like this is the first time he's suddenly woken up in a weird place. Though...what the hell happened to his clothes? And what's up with this collar?

When he snatches up a change of clothes from the trunk at the bed (he's attired thusly now), Bomberman heads out of his dorm room if he doesn't see anyone to talk to inside. He'll spend the rest of the day getting a feel for the tower and its inhabitants, and trying not to be too irritated (or worried) about this unexpected development in his life. Tossing bombs at stuff is pretty cathartic, at least. And if it might have the added bonus of getting him out of here, so much the better.]

"And who brought us here?" If he could get faces and names, that's definitely a start.

"There is a small group..." Shion had seen a few things on the network and heard people talking. "A child called Zo, a man named Dax, a man named Jason," he had been the one apparently responsible for the labyrinth...

"A man named Riki and a girl whose name I do not know."

The first name reminds Bomberman of Zhael's nickname for Zoniha. He files it and the other ones away for further follow-up.

"Do you know anything about them? Where they came from, why they took us here -- anything like that?"

"No... just that they claim the worlds ended and they saved us... Apparantly one of them, Jason, spoke to people on the network; but I was..." Not paying attention, wallowing in misery, not able to cope with what had happened...

"I didn't see it, and the power went out before I could read the archives but when the power returns there will hopefully be some clues there."

"Archives?" Now this sounds interesting.

Shion nodded, "Everything that is written on the network is stored so it can be read... well most of it..." He remembered that question before the labyrinth, the one that disappeared after it was answered.

"You know where I can access this network? Once the power comes back on, anyway."

Shion nodded, "Have you seen the terminals on the floor with the bedroom? There, there are also quite a few in the library."

"There's a library in this place?" He hasn't been to all the floors yet, not even close.

"Yes," Shion smiled, his eyes lighting up, "There's two actually though one has more research books. The main library is on the third floor."

"Hmm." Bomberman doesn't typically spend his time in libraries, but if he's going to be stuck here... "Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll head over to the 3rd-floor library, then." He turns to leave, then stops. "I'm Bomberman, by the way."

"Nice to meet you Bomberman," it was a strange name, but Shion was used to strangeness and didn't react. "I'm Shion."

Bomberman nods and gives a wave. "Take care, Shion!" And he begins to make his way over to the stairs.

"You too Bomberman." He waved with another smile before continuing on his way.
