Finally returning [Open]

Characters: Romeo and open
Setting: Room 1-02, round the tower and eventually floor 35
Format: Starting in prose, will switch if you want!
Summary: Right after June's event Romeo was sent to his dead world, he has spent the last 20 days there. He is finally back, is human again and wants to hug all his friends, find Piccolo and his stolen puppet theater!
Warnings: Mentions of June event


Everyone was dead, there weren't even any stars anymore. No blue sky over Milano anymore. Romeo had wandered Milano and the path to Sonogno over the twenty days he had been here. He didn't know why he was here, he had disappeared. Just like Molly had but he didn't know why. At least he was a human here but with no friends around; no people at all, only bones littering the streets.

[Room 1-02] When Romeo woke up, not in the dark dead world he had been walking for so long, but the bright white room he had long come to think of as his own he jumped to his feet. He had been scared that he would never return. He worried about Molly, she had been away forever, alone on her world. The only person left.

He had also been scared that if he did come back he would still be a strange rocking thing. But he looked down at his hands and grinned. "Human again." He looked around to see if his roommates were in, he was especially worried about Gamzee, he had been hurt lots by mister Jason.

"I'm back!"

[Around the tower] Romeo left his room and started down the tower, he wanted to find all his friends. Check that they were okay, that they were all back to normal too. That even though really bad things had happened they had managed to keep their spirits up. When he saw any of his friends he ran up to them, hugging them or clasping their hand.

Of course he had another reason for going to every single floor, Piccolo hadn't been in his room. He had jumped out of Romeo's pocket when Romeo had been taken a month and a half ago, and he hadn't seen him since. "Piccolo?" He called, looking under things. "Have you seen my friend Piccolo? He is a small white weasel!"

[Floor 35] After his reunion with Piccolo Romeo returned to his room, now that he had checked on everyone he actually noticed the note on his bed. On top of a book; another reward for the horrible things that had happened... The book was Moby Dick, Romeo smiled sadly. But it was a story he had wanted to perform with puppets and he had promised to teach mister Russia how to use a puppet theatre.

Except looking round his room his theater was no where to be seen. Romeo frowned and set off again to search.

He stumbled upon it on floor 35, he hadn't seen it before because he had known Piccolo would be inside or in the nice forest. He ran towards it, his face crumpling when he saw how damaged it was. All the paint was pealing off, the curtains were soaked through and torn from the constant storms. It didn't look pretty anymore, but sad and broken.

Romeo burst into tears, it was such a silly thing to cry about. After everything that had happened, seeing all his friends turning into scary things, being turned into a scary thing himself, being trapped in a rocking toy, witnessing his lifeless world. That it was seeing his destroyed toy that finally made him cry.

He knew it wasn't mister Jason or one of the other bad people who had done this, it wasn't the sort of thing they would do. He didn't know who it had been, but someone had put it out here and now it was ruined. He scrubbed his eyes and tried to stop his tears.

Ven had been rooting around the workshop for....no particular reason really, maybe he'd get an idea of what to do if he found something. He was getting better at fixing stuff up at least. Some things

What he hadn't expected was to suddenly see someone he hadn't seen in almost two months, much less being suddenly assaulted with small child hugs. Not that he was complaining! In fact it brought quite a grin to his face as he gave the kid a quick hug in return. "Romeo! Geez, I haven't seen you in forever!"

When he released Romeo however, he crossed his arms and looked almost comically contemplative as he held his chin and spoke in an over-exaggerated fashion. "Piccolo? What's that? Some kind of instrument? I don't think I've ever heard of anything like that..."

Lina huffs, having come off from yet another bickering-laden morning with Sayaka, and was set to go about her day when she was interrupted by a hug - she'd been too caught up in stewing in her irritation to notice Romeo approaching. She freezes, then realizes who it is.

"Romeo? What's this all about?"

[He had been wandering around, heading down the stairs, when he heard someone crying. Cautiously, he headed towards the noise and frowned when he saw the boy. Slowly, he walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder.]

Hey...

[... A puppet theater? Huh. It must be his... but how did it get here? It looked like it was in kind of bad shape... maybe that's what he was crying about.]

Hey... we can fix it. It'll be okay.

"Hmmm... doesn't ring a bell..." He still held his chin as he thought, and seemed to be thinking real hard about this.

"--Oh!" And then something dawned on him.

"Could it be you're talking about..." Ven reached into the folds of his vest(s), digging around for a bit as something else seemed to be shifting around. After a moment though, his face grew into a wider grin, and he pulled out one curled up Piccolo, who unfurled himself and looked at Romeo once he was brought out. "...this guy?"
thanabro: (yatta!)

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-07-25 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lifted his hand from the boy's shoulder and crouched down to be closer to eye level.]

Sure. A little paint, some new fabric... maybe replace some of the parts that are broken... it'll look better than ever.

[He smiled, trying to be encouraging.]

I'm Ryoji. What's your name?
dragonspooker: (What's that?)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2012-07-27 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
'Alright'. That was a lie, if she'd ever heard one. There was something stranger at hand, though...

"I didn't go anywhere, thou--" Wait a minute. "Did you go somewhere?"
thanabro: (huh?)

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-07-27 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Romeo? That's a nice name.

[He held out a hand to the boy.]

What do you say we take this to the workshop and start seeing what we can do?

[Ken's curled up on one of the couches, reading a book. It looks like some kind of fantasy novel from the cover. He thought it looked interesting in the library so he checked it out - except that it's a little hard for him to get through.]

[Tan is curled up on his shoulder, breathing quietly. Every so often Ken looks over at him and smiles softly.]
thanabro: (amused smile)

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-07-27 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ryoji's eyes widened a little, and he moved over to help brace the theater.]

Careful.
miseris_socios: (hey!)

[Ken yelped and Tan went skittering into Ken's hood.]

R... Romeo? Don't do that!

[Seriously, if he had been less distracted his first instinct would have been to stab whatever was 'attacking' him with his spear.]
thanabro: ([per... son... a...])

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-07-27 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem. I'll keep the monsters away while we take it down.

[Even if he's not the strongest, he can have Thanatos keep them at bay for a bit... probably.]

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2012-07-27 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Just... don't do that next time, okay?

[Tan peeks out of Ken's hood and climbs back on his shoulder, staring at Romeo.]

Who's your friend?

[ For once, the white wizard isn't working or reading some complicated book in the library. Well, in a sense he is working, but it is a much more enjoyable and cheerful work than usual. He has brought with him fireworks that he has worked on- All designed and made by himself. In order to test them and see if they work correctly.

And they do! When Romeo passes by this floor he could see a set of seven fountains, emitting showers of sparks- All of different colors. Gold, silver, red, pink, green, blue and white. Gandalf was near of them preparing rockets, though at a distance. You have to be careful with fireworks. ]

Ven let out a happy laugh at the sigh of Piccolo scurry all over Romeo. "He was great-- he showed up on my bed one day, and when I tried to find you to return him, you were nowhere to be seen. So he's been hanging out with me for awhile."
