just another day in an unfamiliar place

Characters: Sho and ERRYONE
Setting: Floors 27, and 15.
Format: I'll match~
Summary: Gun-repair, lab exploration, and giant wolves, oh my!
Warnings: Newbie trying to not acting like a newbie while carrying around a small armory and being flanked by two wolf-dogs. He's not the master of subtlety.

Sho hadn't spent more than a second in his room, once he was awake and able to move- he stripped the bodysuit, donned his armor, strapped on his COMP and left. He'd made sure to grab his weapons- all of them, including his broken sniper rifle -and his toolkit, of course. That was only practical. The letters were left, unopened, on his night stand.

[27]
And yet, by the time Sho reached floor 27, he had surmised this was probably not Tokyo 2036. Even still, he wasn't that bothered- he'd been sent to so many weird places through teleportation that this felt like just another stop along his path.

The laboratory was almost...normal, though, compared to Sho's comprehension of Tokyo 2036. There was something that unsettled him about it, but he couldn't seem to place it. He approached some of the tubes, tapping very lightly against the glass as more of an idle action than any scientific testing. To some degree, he was still on autopilot.

[15]
He'd been expecting an actual shop by now, or some sort of store, but a workshop worked just as well. He needed to repair the M40; his two pistols he had worked just fine, but being able to snipe out enemies was sort of an important tactical ability to him. However, aside from setting the rifle down, he seemed at a loss for what to do. Anything he did to sodder it would just cause the barrel to be grossly grooved, and...

Beside Sho was a giant wolf-like creature, and another, smaller dog-wolf animal with a scale-lined tail. They seemed to be guarding Sho's back while he fussed and pondered over the gun parts, but they almost looked bored in their task. The smaller one eventually gave a loud yawn and flopped over on his side dramatically, with the large wolf more composedly laying down after a minute or so. Sho didn't even seem to notice, too wrapped up and focused on his task.

[Lucifer had sensed you, but he didn't believe it. Not until he actually saw you there Sho. It's been so long, even for him, since he'd seen you in one permutation or another that it was a shock to sense you again. Lucifer was not one for nostalgia, but even he had to admit there was something...something he couldn't perhaps describe at seeing someone even he thought long dead in the course of things after so long. That was the way of mortals after all: their life spans might be short, but the legacies they could leave could rival both the notoriety and longevity of gods.

He approaches quietly, which isn't hard. The footsteps of a child are small but even they become a bit louder as he changes to the shape of a man, which you might be more familiar with. It doesn't occur to him to question that you might not know who he is at this point; that he's so certain you must know who he is by the time he'll speak with you.

He doesn't come too close, not enough to provoke the demons you've summoned at least. Not that he's scared of them; he's rather certain he could take them on with great ease if he pleased. But rather out of an odd sense of respect to you yourself, Sho.]


And so it seems your journeys have brought you to yet another strange land.

[Naoya was curious, now that the power was back... and he needed some form of weapon to defend himself with. If not a gun, then some form of sword or knife would do.]

[And then he felt it. No. That wasn't possible - he hadn't been given the same kind of curse. And yet it was still a power and a soul that he remembered even from the first days, and he stepped towards the door of the workshop.]

[... Ah. Cerberus and Fenrir. Interesting choices. Still, he looked over at the - it was hard to call him a boy, but he was still a boy, at least in this body. He could see him staring at a gun.]

Problems?

Floor 15, did you say gun-repair

[Eridan's steps had a slight twist to them now, a certain confidence he hadn't had in a long while. He kept telling himself to not get excited because that would only lead to disappointment - everything led to disappointment around here - but it had felt so good in his hand, the familiar weight of a rifle, his favorite one too. But it was something the tower had given him and he knew he couldn't trust it to not be bad somehow. But it was his rifle. Fuck, he missed having it in his hands and knowing he could defend himself properly. After a full day looking for a chance to examine it and his shovel - oh god, his actual shovel - he decided to take it to the workshop and hope that at least it wouldn't explode. Right.

Except there's someone here already. Eridan pauses a moment to give the two barkbeast... things a look and then heads to another workbench. Or would, except he caught a sight of that rifle. His eyebrows arch over his sunglasses.]

...pretty thing you've got there.

[So hey. Have a rifle-loving alien kid that's making eyes at your gun, no pun intended.]

[Eridan winced at that first statement, too busy looking at the rifle to notice any misgivings about his appearance. He ventures a few steps closer to get a better look of it, eyes gleaming a bit behind the sunglasses. He shakes his head.]

Oh, trust me, I know the feeling.

[He looks up, finally, hands idly stuck inside the back pockets of his jeans.]

Want me to take a look at it? Rifles are kind 'a my thing.

[Pause. And then he awkwardly offers a clawed hand to shake.]

Ah, sorry. Name's Eridan.

Adaptation is a great gift, indeed. For as simple a thing as it might be very few seem to understand it. To utilize it.

[He's disappointed by the fact that you don't recognize him. It's hard to tell if the disappointment is born of his own vanity or for some inherent desire even beyond that for you to know who he is.

Even Lucifer can't tell for certain what the cause of the disappointment is. And that infuriate him.]


You'll find there are quite a few strangers from strange worlds here. Though I suppose in the end all worlds are strange to those not native to them.

Mind if I take a look? I know a few things about weaponry.

[He takes a few steps forward regardless, attempting to edge around the demon dogs. Come on guys. Seriously... :| ]

It wasn't worth the risk, he told himself, climbing stairs resolutely from the restaurant. Anything to take his mind off the idea of a bowl of lentil stew, something that would be comfortingly familiar and absolutely mundane after everything that's happened.

Luckily, he gets the distraction he wanted. He hears movement in the laboratory, and heads towards it to investigate. He's used to the Tower being mostly empty, and is expecting a monster more than he is a human.

Kohaku was definitely not doing anything suspicious here in the laboratory at all, and insinuations as to otherwise are naught but terrible slander.

As is, she's been trying to scope out what tools in here she does know how to use, what ones she can guess the use of, and what are utterly mystifying. As to her level of success...?

..well, we'll just wait and see, hm?

The sudden noise of someone's hand tapping on the glass somewhere behind her gives Kohaku a startle, and clumsy as she is... she fumbles the latest scientific instrument she'd chosen to pick up and check over, and the delicate parts of it make a cringe worthy sound as it hits the floor.
crouching_sin: (stop irritating me)

Pulling gun information out of my butt yay?

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2012-07-06 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Put more points into your skills, geez Sho. But he nods as he walks closer to the gun.]

My name is Naoya.

[Looking at the gun, looking at the gun... mm.]

Sawing off some of the end might be the best bet, though it'll affect the accuracy. I wouldn't trust the tools here to be able to shape it precisely, and if it's not right the seams are likely to tear or affect the aim.

[To be fair, Eridan is surprisingly lively for a troll so prone to dying. So maybe there's that? He nodded and looked over at the rifle again, head cocking to one side.]

So what happened to it? Or should I just pull it apart an' guess from what I find out in it?
crouching_sin: (maybe i'll humor you once)

I'd be better off if it were a bow and arrow sob.

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2012-07-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't worry all that much about the range, it should still be decent enough to hit most things here with plenty of space for you to get away if you have to.

[He looked over at the two dog demons though.]

Besides, isn't close-range attack what they're for?

...I have no idea why I thought I was matching present tense. Sorry for that!

Luckily enough for Sho, Enoch had no idea what guns were. He glanced at the melee weapons on him, though, noting he was well-armed at least in that department. It wasn't as if he could fault him for it anyway, given the tower.

"Not originally." Enoch forced himself to relax a bit from the tension he'd picked up from Sho's body language. He wasn't looking for a fight and didn't want to give that impression at all. "I was brought here just as you were."

Enoch didn't have wings, at least, if Sho could take comfort in that. And he looked very human, even if his armor was strange and didn't seem to cover everything armor should.

[personal profile] firstofthefallen 2012-07-11 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[As if he doesn't know. It is interesting though to meet you again before you'd made your final decision Sho. And in a way he isn't entirely sure what to think of it. It's just odd even for him. Even with all the permutations of it that he's lived through and could play out in your world. It's odd to see you so separated from it and for it to be like...this.

Lucifer just stares at Sho for a minute after being asked if he knows him, a thin smile starting to creep across his lips.]


Know you?

I suppose I do. We've met before.
