SO YOU FEEL ENTITLED TO A SENSE OF CONTROL

Characters: Zelgadis Greywords & you, perhaps
Setting: Room 3-06, then various places in the Tower
Format: Action
Summary: There's a new ... chimera ... in town, and he's wandering about in a (grumpy, frustrated) daze

[He's woken up; he's recovered from the paralysis; he's read the letters.  Now he's standing by what is, ostensibly, his bed now, trying to recover from shock and dismay.  To be honest, he doesn't believe that his world's been destroyed for a second--or perhaps he just refuses to believe it.  Doing so would mean accepting a reality in which the Monster race got what it wanted, after all, and that just couldn't be tolerated.

It was rapidly clear that very little was tolerable about his new circumstances, in fact.  He paces the room in agitation, noting its features, questioning whoever happens to come in or already be there.]


 
[This floor looks promising.  He'll be wandering the stacks, searching for information, and occasionally sitting down with a book that looks relevant or interesting.  While he quickly realizes that nothing here actually illuminates his situation, he keeps paging through the books anyway.  This is obviously a new world, with its own strange history and rules, and maybe he can find SOMETHING of use here, even if it's not specifically about the tower.]




[Ugh.  Oatmeal.  

Zelgadis pulls down his hood and takes off his mask to eat this gruel, frowning suspiciously the entire time.]

[Aleph is also searching through the stacks and coming to the same conclusion.]

I saw a second library on the nineteenth floor, but I don't know if you'd have more luck there.
aurous: (46; we could have had it all)

[ Sweet fire lord, is that a familiar head of spiky blue hair at that table?!

She shuffles forward. Yes, yes, familiar...

Shuffle shuffle...

It fuckin' is! ]


Oh, Mr. Zelgadis! [ cries Filia, clapping her hands together pretty much right next to his ear. ] They've got you, too! This is terrible!

[ Her shrieking is a sound for sore ears, isn't it? Don't lie, man! ]

This is the Tower. It hasn't got a proper name... As for 'they', well... [ She tilts her head, resting her cheek in one gloved hand. ] The monsters who run it, is the best I can give you.

[Well, someone's going to spot you, Zel - thankfully, it's a familiar face! Though one that looks a little different than the last time she was seen - no talismans, and aren't those the same shoulderpads and sword from when the two of you first met...?]

...Zel? Zel?!
dragonspooker: (...and then the whole town exploded.)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2012-07-10 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been here, for who knows how long at this point!

[Must not show worry, must keep cool. Can't let it be known that the great Lina Inverse actually is capable of caring about her friends.]

...so, uh. How'd that whole Copy Rezo thing work out with me gone, huh?
alephbet: (Because he who points the finger)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-10 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The books are thicker. That's about all I can say about that, since I only glanced and it's my first day.
alephbet: (That's why)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-10 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I don't really believe it.
aurous: (51; oh burn burn burn burn burn down)

[personal profile] aurous 2012-07-10 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Besides that! [ Oh my gosh Zelgadis you are not going to believe this-- ] Did you know Miss Lina is here? And Xellos, too!
alephbet: (All of those things that I wanted to be)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-10 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It matters a little to me. I worked hard making sure it wasn't destroyed before.
alephbet: (Well you can take those things and)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-10 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you already given up?
aurous: (06; i'll risk it all)

[personal profile] aurous 2012-07-10 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ THAT'S WHAT SHE THOUGHT AT FIRST, TOO. brosb4monsterhos, yous good people, zel. ]

Yes, that's entirely possible. He's got a collar around his neck, too, though...
alephbet: (That's why)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-11 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

How much do you know about the layout of this tower?
aurous: (64; sometimes it lasts)

[personal profile] aurous 2012-07-11 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She winces in sympathy. ] No. It changes every month. [ Softer: ] Last month was awful; I'm glad you weren't here for that.

[ And Miss Lina... ]

You- You've known Miss Lina for several years, right?
