{01} Intro

Characters: Aphrodi and whoever he bumps into!
Setting: Room 1-18 for most of the morning, everywhere else in the afternoon
Format: Action, but I can match!
Summary: enter obligatory confused!introduction! And perhaps a little bit of sulking around since he doesn't want to be here.
Warnings: teeny reference to death, possibly language and um, that's it for now. Will update if needed!

[Room 1-18]

[ The first thought that pops into Aphrodi's head when he wakes up and finds he can't move is that, damn, he's dead again. The fact that he even had to wake up in the first place was a huge giveaway to something weird having happened but once the sleep paralysis passes, things stop making sense.

He can get up. So he's... still kind of alive. Okay, that's always a good thing. Aphrodi tugs at his collar a few times to try and get it off but it refuses to budge. That's not so okay. It's not the kind of thing he usually wears, and plus its implications are rather scary to think about (being owned by something is certainly not what he planned to do in his remaining days on Earth. Or not Earth, it seems). And then he sees the notes, which makes things even more not-okay, and then he starts to panic a little.

So, fellow dwellers of Room 1-18, you have yourselves +1 roommate (still in the clothes he woke up in) currently obsessively brushing his hair, generally being jittery and pacing the room and some feathers scattered about. He tried to pick them up at first and put them on a pile on his bed but gave up. ]


[Everywhere Else]

[ Aphrodi managed to calm himself down by the time the afternoon rolled around and finally got himself dressed into something more casual -- although the collar is still annoying and wouldn't come off, so it's covered with a scarf that only kind of matches the outfit. He's stomping around and trying to memorise every single room and corridor that he comes across.

Not to mention he's kicking a soccer ball around because he finds that dribbling it helps keep him grounded when he's in a situation where he has no idea what else to do; what better than to keep on doing what's familiar? He'd already thanked whatever gods (and himself, of course) brought his soccer ball along with the rest of his stuff.

...He's not being too observant, so if he does bump into someone or kick the ball at them a little too hard, it's completely on accident. ]

whatpenguin: (man this one is pretty)

Yeah. ... Don't worry about me.
This place has just been hell on earth for the past month, that's all.

[And he thought Coach Hitomiko's training was hard...
Genda isn't going to bother sugarcoating any of this, either.
This is the guy that hospitalized him - he can handle bad news, right?]


Normally it isn't too bad. Sometimes there are monsters at night, and some floors of this tower are dangerous, but all in all, it's tolerable.
But... for some reason, the electricity went out for the past month, and monsters started wandering the halls like mad.
They're no big deal if you're willing to run or use your hissatsu, but...

[There, he shakes his head a bit, and he gives Aphrodi a smile again.]

It's no big deal. If I can handle it, I'm positive you can.
whatpenguin: (BELEIVE IN THE ME etc.)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Well - he's mostly okay. Their situation's just reopening emotional wounds he thought he'd healed on top of wearing him down physically, that's all!!
I mean, he's only fourteen.]


I'll keep that in mind - and it goes the same for you.
If you need me for anything, just ask.
whatpenguin: (I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KIIING)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
There's not a lot to do, unfortunately. Unless you'd like to help me with my training?
I'm trying to keep it up, even here.

[It wouldn't do to be sent home and be miles behind his team, after all!]
whatpenguin: (For some reason)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Positive.
I'm the King of Goalkeepers after all. If I can't handle a little training, what use would I be on the field?

[He's dead serious, Aphrodi.]
whatpenguin: (sweetest little)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no. There's a meadow here that works well as a field.
We just need to get around to making goals.

[He does lead the way though, holding himself like he's not hurt or worn at all.]
whatpenguin: (but its still cute omg)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
[... Well, it's hard to say he didn't notice Aphrodi drawing close; but he's assuming it's... probably because Genda's probably one of the best people to keep someone safe, right now. Surprisingly.
But he just lets out a little sigh.]


Don't look so worried, we'll be okay.
This place is dangerous, but it's not always full of bloodshed or anything.

["Not always" being the keywords there.]
whatpenguin: (precious cocky bb)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose.

[A little paranoid, Aphrodi? Genda finds it kind of amusing, but only because he's been here long enough to know the ropes.

The meadow's not far away, luckily; just a couple flights of stairs, and it opens up onto a floor containing a whole meadow where it's continuously spring. There's a patch off to the side that's already starting to look well worn, too; their makeshift field!]


Don't be afraid to play hard, alright? Even though I'm your partner for this.
whatpenguin: (I'm not a fan of puppeteers)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah - Genda can't help laughing, too.] I'd hope not; there's only so much we can do with this place, you know?

[He takes his place where the goal would be if there was one though, giving Aphrodi a smirk of his own.]

Do you need to get warmed up?
whatpenguin: (yeah i know im radical)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-26 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm set.

[Genda just cracks his knuckles before getting in position.]

Let's see what you can do, after all this time!
whatpenguin: (Through the entire town)

[personal profile] whatpenguin 2012-06-28 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh - that's very easy, Aphrodi.

He hardly has to lunge for it, too, so it's caught as easy as it was shot, and he tosses it back.]


Are you sure you don't need a warm up?
