(no subject)

Characters: Kotetsu and You
Setting: 3-16, then Floor 38
Format: whatever floats your boat
Summary: Kotetsu awakens in a strange place, and as usual, flubs up on the spot.
Warnings: Does burnt flesh require a warning...?

[Kotetsu crumples the letter in his hands as he lies on his bed, shaking uncontrollably. Could it be Ouroboros? They stopped Jake and Kriem, it should be all over. They were the masterminds behind it, right? If it was, then maybe Barnaby was here too. Possibly in a worse situation. Kotetsu had no personal dealings with the group, he just knew that what they were doing was wrong.

Obviously, he needed to find his partner. Thinking about it more, there was a possibility that Blue Rose might have been trapped there too. All this from chasing that creeper around backstage at a concert...

He groans, pulling himself up and finding that he'd been pried out of his super suit like a piece of tuna from a tin can. It doesn't look damaged, but he discovers why he'd been stripped when he swallows; there's a collar around his neck. Looking around more, he sees three other beds, and the trunks. This looks more like a dorm room and less like a holding cell.]


Nngh...come on...

[He pulls at the collar, but he can find no clasp or button to make it come off. His fingers bump the tubes and fumble over its smooth surface. While tight-fitting, he can still breathe. He ignores it for the time being to stand up. He needs to find somebody. And if he finds trouble, he's ready to go, even without the suit. Or so he thinks.]

---

Wild Tiger is thinking one of his younger fans must've gotten carried away!

[And that they're a mite crazy in the head. After those letters, it would make sense. 'I saved you. Let's all be happy here.' The floor supports the dormitory feeling, up until he walks towards the outer wall. Are those the clouds?]

This can't be right...

[The only way to get out of here is to keep going down, so Kotetsu returns to the stairs and descends. It appears that the power isn't working on the next floor. He stands there for a few moments, squinting into the darkness but being unable to make out anything. The breathing catches him, and he immediately goes into hero mode.]

Hello? Is somebody there? Are you okay? Don't fret, Wild Tiger will help you! Hang on-

[Kotetsu steps onto the floor with a bare foot, but quickly retracts it and hisses in pain.]

Gyaahhh! That burns! [It seems he stepped in some sort of weak acid. The skin on the bottom of his foot feels like it's on fire, though he's fortunate the substance hasn't eaten further. This causes a quick retreat back to the 38th floor. He stumbles to one of the couches so he can look at the damages.]

What is this stuff...?
alephbet: (Well you can take those things and)

[Floor 38]

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-24 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
This is probably a bit late, but I wouldn't recommend taking a step off the staircase if you can't see where you're going.

[Aleph gets up off his beanbag chair and comes over to inspect.]

That looks pretty bad... At least it's just your foot.
hero_of_smiles: (Thinking)

Floor 38

[Well, Cross was just walking around when he found himself on floor 38. He was just hanging around there for awhile, when he saw some older man come bowling in looking like he just got a nasty surprise.

Curiously getting up, he walks towards the stranger. It doesn't take long to notice his injured foot.]

It's not very smart walking around in bare feet.

[He bends down to take Kotetsu's ankle and look at his foot.]

Uh, yeah, we may need to get you to the infirmary or something.
alephbet: (Past the wondering eyes of the ones)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-24 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I can help with that, a little, if you promise not to panic.

[Hiroko would have been very good for this, having healing spells of her own. Aleph had to rely on his demons, which could easily scare someone.]
hero_of_smiles: (Confused)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-24 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not really scolding, just doesn't want to see people get hurt here.]

Wild Tiger? [He's not really sure what he means.]

Anyways you shouldn't walk on that. Come on, I'll help you get down to the infirmary. [Before Kotetsu can really object, he's slung one of the man's arms around his shoulder and grabbed the man's belt. The guy is like 5'10, Cross is 5'5, he needs something as leverage.]

Oh, I was just making my rounds again. Gotta make sure the monsters don't wander into the dormitories. But, uh....not really? I guess I kind of live here now.
alephbet: (Why get in line)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-24 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
All right.

[Aleph presses a few buttons on the small machine hooked onto his arm, and a jackal-headed man appears.]

Anubis, heal him.

[The demon nods, and a glow of healing energy washes over Kotetsu. A Mediaharan was probably a waste on one person's single injury, but it was what he had on hand.

Job done, Anubis disappears.]
hero_of_smiles: (Thinking)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-24 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Comeback? A comeback from what?

[Honestly, he looks even more confused. Even at the mention of Barnaby gets Kotetsu a blank expression.]

Sorry, I never heard of him. Maybe I'm not from your world?

[He begins moving, carrying Kotetsu's weight.]

Yeah, I guess you're new than huh? Well, I'm sorry to tell you this uh, Mr.Tiger, but you've been kidnapped like the rest of us. Apparently this tower does a lot of bad stuff to people, like experimenting on people here, and monsters attacking people. It sounds crazy, but it's true.
alephbet: (In mountains that are stacked with fear)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-24 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[That could have gone much worse.]

I summon demons.
hero_of_smiles: (Determined)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-24 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not really. All I know is that the people who run the tower can kidnap people from other worlds and stuff.

It's a lot to take in, but that's all there is to it. But, don't believe the letter they give you about your world being blown up. It's a lie.

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-24 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yup, indeed, the person needed a good beat down. Gotta show them that they can't do bad things like that!]

What's a NEXT?

[Sorry, naive boy is naive.]

Is it like magic?

[But he smiles.]


Mhm. It's just a dirty trick they use to make people sad to make sure the people brought here go along with what they do. Or at the very least, that's what I think. Bad guys always do stuff like that.
alephbet: (If you don't want to wait)

[personal profile] alephbet 2012-07-25 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a demon summoner. Why, what do you do?
hero_of_smiles: (Happy)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-25 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That's pretty cool!

[Cross is instantly interested in this. Even if it wasn't magic, it was still power. After all he read a lot about super powers in comic books back home. But becoming heroes in this guy's world...must be pretty awesome.]

Well you're not going to do it on that foot-wait...

[Cross stops moving for a moment to look over at Mr.Tiger. He'll make sure the bad guys go to jail and stuff?]

Wild Tiger...wait...does that mean, does that mean you're a hero?

[His face alights with excitement and amazement.

Spoiling will happen after cake.]
hero_of_smiles: (Happy)

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-25 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely makes more sense.]

R-REALLY?! I have no clue where that is! But that's amazing!

[Oh right, he needs to keep walking now, which he does. Now on the staircase downwards.]

Can I get your autograph later?

[Let the spoiling begin.]
hero_of_smiles: (Amused)

Psst is it the new card or the old one?

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-25 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Heroes were probably one of the only types of people who could be special without having powers. Sure if they had them they were better heroes but anyone could be a hero.

He looks curiously to Tiger. What could be better than a-okay a card is much better than an autograph. If it gets signed, it's doubly better.]


I can have this? [He takes it and looks at it.]
