Sulking [open]

Characters: Suzaku and Open
Setting: Floor sixteen
Format: Starting in prose but I can switch
Summary: Suzaku was off wandering his world when he turned nineteen last month but today is another anniversary and does Suzaku even need an excuse to stare into a bottomless pit and brood?
Warnings: Mostly just angst

Things had started to calm down a little, Suzaku had spoken to Lelouch and though harsh words had been exchanged things were a little better between them. He had spoken to Minato as well, but still felt guilt for what he had done, Ryoji seemed to have disappeared completely though and Suzaku was worried.

Suzaku had woken up this morning and left his room early as he usually did, he didn't really know the two roommates who had replaced Signless and Psiioniic. Probably for the best, since Suzaku's habit of hurting those he was supposed to protect seemed to be getting worse the longer he remained here. So he avoided his room and spent most of his days training or fighting monsters, helping those who needed it but for the most part avoiding people.

But today he didn't go to the meadow or forest. Instead he continued down to floor sixteen this floor had always interested him, a room of nothingness, he sat on the stairs; legs dangling off the side and stared down at the darkness. He was nineteen now, he had realised when he had returned from his dead world that his birthday had been and gone. It was a strange feeling, nineteen and yet still Suzaku Kururugi, if his and Lelouch's plan had worked Suzaku Kururugi would have been dead before he turned nineteen.

Yet it hadn't, they had failed and were stuck here. All their plans for nothing. He stared out into the darkness. The recent events weren't the only reason for his dark mood. Today nine years ago him and Lelouch had stood on a hill and watched the first Britannian planes swarm into Japan. A few days later he had killed for the first time and now...

He had long lost count of how many lives he had taken, how many families he had cut apart. All in the name of saving Japan. His hands gripped the staircase, he couldn't jump; the Geass wouldn't let him. Even if he could he would just wake up tomorrow, and nothing would have changed. He had once been so sure they could escape, that they could defeat their captors. But now he wasn't even sure it was worth trying, it just caused more suffering.

The worlds were gone, they had no where to go. He could throw everything into another plan of Lelouch's, caring only for the end result. But there was no end result. This wasn't Britannia, their captors had more power than any of them could imagine and the power to take away everyone else's.

Still Suzaku had never been one to sit and do nothing. He had to fight, and he had to live.

Even if that second one was through no choice of his own. He stared lost in thought, though his head turned when he heard people approaching. Remaining alert.

"No. I was going to watch the darkness. Sometimes it feels super creepy. And there's stuff that can hurt you! I ran into it and had to teleport to the stairs."

Jade sits down next to him, completely blocking the rest of the staircase. Good thing the tower was so big; other people could readily be on completely different floors and not find them for hours, at least, that was her experience so far. "Are you watching it too?"
quarkylass: (❊ sweet | she is so cute gosh)

"Yes! But not here, and not to everywhere. I tried, but...it didn't work." She shrugged, a little half-heartedly. Nothing made sense to her any more, but then again, nothing had really made sense in her old world, either.

"Maybe it's magic."
quarkylass: (❊ baffled | whaa--??)

"I haven't seen them yet, but everyone keeps talking about them! I don't really know if I want to meet them." She thinks about that for a bit, then pokes at the violet collar around her neck. "Maybe it's this."
quarkylass: (❊ guilty | that's not fair!)

"That sounds awful! You mean these have some sort of control over our powers?" Jade looked a little shocked, and she clenched her fists together. "That's horrible. They shouldn't be able to do that."
quarkylass: (❊ willful | no we won't do that)

[personal profile] quarkylass 2012-08-20 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Gross!" Jade wrinkled her nose. "They sound exactly like the doctors in the facility. I really hate people like that. No one should be able to do that to another person!"
quarkylass: (unsure | jadesprite...?)

"Yeah, it's a torture facility. It wasn't very fun."
quarkylass: (❊ confused | ...what??? [dave])

"No, I got brought there eight months ago. Before, I lived on earth!"
quarkylass: (❊ what | what?)

"Kind of, yes! It's a really long story. Mostly I'm just glad to be gone."
quarkylass: (❊ unclear | pls repeat coming in fuzzy)

"No. They said we weren't really gone at all, that we were clones! But I didn't actually believe them. There's no way that could be true."

She pauses for a little bit, slightly self-conscious because she's been doing all of the explaining. "What was your world like?"
