Time for exploration! Follow the yellow brick... scarf?

[death_awaits_you]

Characters: Ryoji and you~
Setting: Starting in Room 4-18 and meandering elsewhere (see below)
Format: Written in [action tags] but I will match your style
Summary: Ryoji has just woken up into a tower that's not working and is wandering in confusion.
Warnings: None so far?

Room 4-18 and Dormitory Area

[ Once Ryoji has woken up, read his letters and gotten his bearings, he'll be wandering aimlessly through the dorms, looking for other people. He seems a little troubled, but overall he appears more curious than worried. Still riding on the high of events just prior to his showing up here, Ryoji just can't believe the world that was just saved before his eyes could be destroyed just like that - especially without him knowing!

Since the dorms seem to be one of the few places with lights on at present, there are bound to be people here right? No matter who you are or how scary you seem, Ryoji doesn't seem to be afraid to come up to you to say hello! ]


Floor 1

[ Of course, Ryoji doesn't stay in the living quarters all day. There's a whole tower to explore! And this one doesn't have nearly as many floors (it seems) as the one he just came from. The first place he starts poking around after the dorms is the cafeteria. Even if it's dark, he seems to be able to find his way pretty well, though the oatmeal seems to have him confused.

Instead of eating the oatmeal, Ryoji spends a while playing with it. This batch seems pretty sticky, so he's trying to make a snowoatmealman out of it... Maybe you should advise him of its actual purpose... ]

Floors 4, 6, 10, 13 or 25

[ Each of these floors contains either a view of the outside of the tower or else some sort of scenery Ryoji has never actually seen in person before, so he lingers in these places, exploring a little. The cathedral puzzles him (where is that murmuring coming from, anyway?), but the aquarium and the meadow in particular fascinate him - and he stares in open-mouthed, grinning glee at all the pretty colorful fishies and oh wow, so many flowers! He's never seen so may flowers, not even in a flower shop!

... it's probably really obvious he's new, isn't it. Well, hopefully he doesn't get eaten by a fish on his first day or two. ]

Anywhere else you fancy!

[ Is there somewhere else you want to corner Ryoji? The library maybe, or as you're chasing down or running from a monster? Feel free to bring that up, instead. ]

Oh, that would be nice, especially if it had a hot spring! [ Oh, such good times--! But Ryoji laughs a little, thinking about it. ]

[tsunball]

[ Hot springs.. oh, there is only one direction Leon's thoughts could head in after hearing that, so the more grumpy mood quickly fades for some 'heh heh' laughter from him as well. ]

Especially if it was a hot spring with mixed bathing, right..?

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji's thoughts head in the same way, and his grin widens. ]

Oh, definitely! Though... you'd better hope that the girls don't get mad.

[tsunball]

No way they could get mad, right? If it's mixed bathing, then it's mixed bathing! It's been decided, so they can't blame us for it in the slightest..!

[ man, so good to talk to a guy who understands this kind of thing. ]

And meanwhile we're getting a good view right from the front row seats!

[death_awaits_you]

That's true! ... but sometimes girls seem to get mad about things like that anyway. [ He frowns a little. ] I don't really understand it...

[tsunball]

Me neither, bro. [ a deep sigh, since clearly this is difficult and no on understands. ]

I think us guys will probably never really understand all this crazy shit girls think about.

[death_awaits_you]

That's what Junpei used to say! That girls are crazy and impossible to understand... Do you think if we asked them, they'd explain what they think about?

[ clearly Ryoji hasn't been executed enough to learn better ]

[tsunball]

[ don't talk to leon about executions, man. don't do it. ]

Let me tell you one thing.. some girls really are crazy and most of them are just impossible to understand, yeah. [ first hand experience, but at least he seems a bit bro-y since RYOJI HERE UNDERSTANDS. ]

But if you ask them, I bet they'll just get more mad! Y'know, they'll call you a pervert and all that.

/dooooom icon? idk

[death_awaits_you]

Oh, they used to call Junpei that anyway! [ He laughs a little, though. ] I guess we're doomed, then, if they're mostly impossible to understand and asking them to explain would make them mad...

why the doom icon!!

[tsunball]

[ a deep sigh. ]

It's okay. You understand, right? We'll have each other in the middle of all this difficult shit! [ bros gotta bro, after all. ]

And we'll just win them over without having to understand them, I bet.

because executions and women? idk

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji laughs, smiles and nods. ]

Yep! Friends always have each other's backs, and we'll find a way to win the girls over all the same!

My name's Ryoji Mochizuki, by the way. [bros gotta know each other's names for full bro broing]

this is true.. executions and women always involve doom. especially with leon.

[tsunball]

Leon Kuwata! Good to meet a guy like you, Mochizuki. [ soon there will be brofists and all. It'll be beautiful. And last name referencing means broness, okay. ]

I'm sure there's enough girls in this place for the two of us to be able to share.

[death_awaits_you]

Good to meet you, too, Kuwata! [ And Ryoji just straight up mimics. For the broness!

He laughs again, merrily. ] I'm sure there are! But it'll still be great getting a chance to know them all.

[tsunball]

In that case I'll need to know your type, y'know! It's pretty important to announce the type of girls you like to your fellow guys so we can make sure there won't be any overlaps. [ yes, he's completely serious. At least it seems reasonably good-natured.. ]

[death_awaits_you]

My type? [ He looks thoughtful. ] I don't think I have a type... I like all girls! But what's wrong with overlaps?

[tsunball]

We can't go and hit on the same girl, right? There's a rule against that! [ rule one of the bro code, to be specific.. not that Leon wouldn't break that rule himself given the chance. ]

And surely there's got to be certain kinds of girls you like more.

[death_awaits_you]

Huh? I didn't know there were rules about this kind of thing...

I don't know, though. All girls are princesses worthy of affection!

[tsunball]

.. Princesses.. Ah, I already get it. You're that kind of guy! [ watch as he doesn't bother to elaborate though. ]

Don't worry, you can find your perfect princess in this tower. Then I'll find the girl with the most dynamite body around!

[death_awaits_you]

Huh? What kind of guy is that?

[ Ryoji is still confused!
He hurt himself in his confusion. ]

Dynamite body, huh? Wouldn't she be in danger of exploding?

1 / 2

[tsunball]

[ let's not get started about Pokéballs, Leon sort of has a trauma about those.. ]

H.. uh..? [ he.. doesn't get what he's saying there, that last part.. it legitly takes a few moments for his brain to catch onto what the other guy is asking since to Leon it's just such a weird thing to ask.. ]

[tsunball]

.. Wait a moment, that's not what I mean by 'dynamite body'! Man, why can't a single guy in this place pick up on some cool phrasing when it comes to girls? [ FIRST MONDO THINKING HE HITS GIRLS, NOW THIS. ]

[death_awaits_you]

I guess I just hadn't heard that phrase before. [ ^^; ] What does it mean, then?

[tsunball]

It means they have a great body, of course! [ he chuckles. ] Amazing hips, a big chest.. you know what I mean, right?

[death_awaits_you]

Oh! Like Misturu-senpai! I know what you're talking about, now.

'Dynamite', huh? [ Ryoji laughs again. ] I'm sorry - I still think of explosions.

[tsunball]

Explosions are cool though, right? It's all about the chicks who give you an explosion inside when you see them! [ .. that's still just Leon being weird, though.. ]

.. Who's this Mitsuru-senpai though, huh? A kind of chick you could hook me up with, maybe?
