towerofanimus | 001: Intro

Characters: Matt Engarde and you!
Setting: Room 1-04, and anywhere else in the tower
Format: Starting out with action, but I'll match~
Summary: Matt here is new in the tower.... and he doesn't like it at all. It's dark, gross, terrifying, and generally sucks.
Warnings: Possibly monsters around, possibly swearing?

[So he woke up in a strange room, completely paralyzed for several minutes and, well, that itself was unnerving. Wasn't he standing in the defendant's seat of a court room only a few seconds ago?? What the hell was he doing here??

His first order of business, of course, was to pull at the stupid collar around his neck that became overly apparent as the paralysis wore off. Nope, it wasn't coming off. Figures. Second order of business was the weird letters he got... which he scanned and threw to the floor. Obviously fake and not worth his time, or else he was dreaming. Maybe he passed out in court for some reason?? He hadn't got much sleep the night before, prison wasn't as comfortable as a waterbed with swan feather sheets and pillows. Third order of business-- the meowing coming from the chest at the foot of his bed. When Matt opened the trunk, out popped a little tabby cat.]

Shoe?? Is that you? How in the world did you get in there, little dude??

---

[After exploring his room and his various belongings, Matt takes to exploring the rest of the tower, Shoe either walking with him or sitting on his shoulder.]

What happened to this place?? It looks totally trashed!!

[Hey Matt, say hi to one of your roomies.

Cross is going to re enter the room looking thoroughly beaten up and tired looking. Running from monsters from earlier tends to do that. When he looks in though there's some guy there.]

Uhhh...hey there?

[Matt is digging through all of the junk in his trunk when he pulls out a video tape and stares at it.]

Wait, how did this get in-- [He jumps out of his skin when he hears Cross behind him, hiding the tape behind his back as he stands up.]

U-uh, sup dude?? Who're you?? [Suspicious look.]

[Cross is going to raise an eyebrow at the young man's sudden jumping. Shutting the door behind him, Cross at least smiles.]

Uh well, I got attacked by monsters? But I guess you don't want to hear that huh? But I'm Cross, it's nice to meet you, whoever you are.

[He's going to walk over and extend his mechanical hand out to shake Matt's, he's totally not trying to subtlety show off, nope.]

[Considering what he's been through the past couple of days... he's been on his guard more than usual. Don't mind him.]

Attacked by monsters, right... Funny that you don't know who I am, considering this is my dream and all. Actually, even if I wasn't dreaming, I'd still think you'd recognize me! [He looks a little miffed at that, but shakes his mechanical "hand" anyway, giving it an odd stare.]

[Cross is going to give him a little bit of a confused look when he mentions that this is all of a dream. Well if it was, would Cross not be feeling the burning in his lungs or the copious amounts of cuts and bruises that he obtained?

He's going to reach out, grab the young man's face and pinch it.]

Tell me if that hurts. If it does, it's probably not a dream. But sorry don't know who you are. Mind telling me though? Cause you're just kind of, like, Person Man at the moment to me.

[When the guy reaches for his face, Matt is suddenly not at all happy and is shoving his hand away rather violently. He looks murderous at the fact that someone just touched his face.]

Hey, back off of my face!!

[He takes a deep breath and fixes his hair, returning to the less angry and more suspicious attitude he had a moment before.]

Yes, that hurt, so fine, you win. I guess this is real... But, c'mon dude, I'm the famous TV actor, Matt Engarde! Y'know, the Nickel Samurai?? How could you not have heard of me, I'm all over the magazines!

Sorry, but I had to show you somehow, right?

[The tone in the man's voice though, kind of freaks him out a little after the whole face touching, but Cross decides to ignore it.

Nope, not ringing any bells. Cross is just going to stare blankly at him.]

Sorry, not ringing any bells. Never heard of you in my life until now. But it's nice to meet you Matt.

[Cross soon has a happy grin spread on his face.]

Really...? I guess not everyone keeps up with the tabloids, but whatever. Nice to meet you too, Mr. Cross guy...

Since this apparently isn't a dream, can you tell me where I am? Or... how I got here? Or even why I'm here? Like, what's with the collars and the mysterious letters? This is like some kind of cliche sci-fi show... and I don't do sci-fi, strictly action.

[He sighs, dropping the video tape back into the trunk without much caution for him to see it. It's not like the guy would know what it was anyway, much less care if he'd never even heard of him before.]

[Or because they're from two different worlds, but they don't know that.]

Your guess is as good as mine. All I know is that we're in some kind of tower because we were saved or something like that. But I got no clue what these collars are, been trying to pry mine off but it just won't come off. I'd ask someone but so far I've only met people who are just as lost as we are really.

[ Seriously, when he's speaking up like that Leon can't help but notice the other guy. ... And the cat, even if he doesn't speak up about that. He can at least figure the guy must be new if he's yelling about something that obviously, but still.. ]

Man, tell us something new! This place only became more of a dump now the power's out for the most part.

[You're not the only one in the room, Matt. There's a boy (he can't be older than ten) sleeping on his stomach on another bed. He's wearing all green, and even his collar has green liquid flowing through it.

He rolls, and in rolling, he... falls off the bed.

He awakes with a jolt. He sits up and brings a hand to his head, which he then shakes.]

Ow...

Well- its just generally how it looks. [Is Chie's statement as she glances back over at him. She was passing by, but his words caught her attention.] Are you new?

Geeze, you're telling me the power's been out?? Man this is no way to treat a guy.

And what is up with these freaky floors?? Poor Shoe here is freaking out. [Indeed his cat's hair is all standing on end.]

[Matt nearly jumps out of his skin at the kid falling to the floor. He had been a little absorbed in his own world so he hadn't noticed if anyone else had been in there with him.]

Uh, hey little dude, you all right??

[What was he... a little elf or something??]

Yeah, just got here, and this place is a wreck. Like, who the hell would wanna stay here?

[He waves around to the general tower.] It's dark, and totally messed up.

Well that doesn't help. [He tugs at the dumb thing around his neck with frustration.] There's gotta be someone here that knows what's going on, right?? Like, I was in the middle of something important back home.

Uhm, well, no one really wants to be here. We didn't really get much of a choice. [She wrinkles her nose a little at that.]

Yeah, it is, it doesn't get much better at times.

At least you understand. This place is totally unreasonable. [ he sighs as if it's the most bothersome thing ever. ]

Is that your cat, though? I didn't know some people had pets here, this isn't any place for them to be. .. Well, not like it's any place for us to be either.

[Sort of not really.

Link looks up, blinking. Huh? Who's this guy, and what's he doing in this room?]

Uh... Yeah...

[He'll just get up on his feet now, so he isn't sitting on the floor ~~and making himself look even more short~~ awkwardly like that any more.]

Are you... new here?
