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

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 ~~snow~~oatmealman 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. ]

[ They are clearly the best names! ]

Before I came here, I was living in Iwatodai. I went to school on Tatsumi Port Island. What about you?

Iwatodai? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it. I'm from Tokyo. [Mun is completely making this up as she just realises that it is never mentioned where exactly in Japan the game is set...] I went to Hope's Peak Academy... [And he trails off a bit here... because so many bad memories!]

Oh, that's neat, though it sounds like you didn't like it too much... I'm sorry to hear that, if that's the case. I really liked school when I got to go, but I know school isn't always fun...

No... it isn't that I don't like school. I do enjoy learning and my classmates at Hope's Peak are very nice to me. Much nicer than in my previous school. Just that-Just that someone very bad has taken over the school and... is forcing us... to kill each other...

... I'm sorry, I've made our conversation rather depressing...

[ Ryoji's eyes widen. ]

What?! That's really awful! Why would they do that? I'm sorry.

No, you don't need to apologize - it's my fault for asking about bad memories.

Because they enjoy watching us in despair...

[shakes head] It's not your fault, Mochizuki-kun.

Oh no, that's awful... I really hope you can hang onto hope anyway. There's got to be a way to make things better...

[ Even if death is inevitable. Even if it's something that comes to everyone, whether naturally or by the hands of another, Ryoji thinks living in despair because of death is awful and shouldn't happen. ]

[Manages a little smile]

Mn. Hopefully we can all get through it together. And I think I might have found something back home just before I was sent here that might help our situation there.

I am glad to hear that. Whenever you return, I hope you have good fortune, then. [ And he manages a smile in return. ]

Mn! Thank you, Mochizuki-kun. [But he'll die if he ever goes back... ;_;]

[ Ryoji smiles again and nods. And then he looks around the meadow again. ]

Do you mind if I sit with you here for a bit? It really is nice here...

[ Ryoji don't care, man. Death happens. It matters not who you are.... ]

I don't mind. [He moves aside a bit to give him space] Did you just arrive here, Mochizuki-kun?

[;_______;]

[ Ryoji takes advantage of this, sitting cross-legged beside. ] Yep! I'm not quite sure how long ago, but definitely within the past day or two.

How long have you been here, Chihiro-chan?

I see.

Hmmm... Around 2 weeks or so, I think.

Oh, so not all that much longer than me, but I bet you know your way around a whole lot better! Are you settling in okay? Besides the power being out, of course.

Mn. Well, I have been exploring quite a bit. So if there's anything you're looking for, I can try to help you find it!

I'm alright. My roommates are all very nice. [Well, except one but he rarely sees him around anyway...] And some of my classmates are here!

Oh, thank you! I'm just exploring for now, but I'll let you know if there is.

But I'm glad some of your classmates are here and that your roommates are nice. It's always nicer being somewhere new with friends! Which room is yours?
