It's Only Them

Characters: Sou and YOU
Setting: Room 2-04 then everywhere there after
Format: I'll match.
Summary: Sou is looking around and he's not happy.
Warnings: A terribly ill tempered "prince"...violence, pretty much anything can happen.

Dorms
Sou's awakening was nothing more than graceful. He rolled out of bed with a terrible headache. He didn't take a look at his surroundings as he leaned over to rub the pain from his temples.

He stood and immediately he knew something was definitely wrong. He was alive. He felt the heavy hit to the back of his head before everything had gone black. The sniper's hit was on target. Why is he here?

He didn't bother to look in his trunk. He didn't bother to give a damn about who was in here or not. He needed answers and he certainly wasn't going to be someone's prisoner. He didn't notice his indigo collar either.

Tower Floors
Still not satisfied with what he learned, he took it upon himself to explore. He didn't care about the warnings, if he ever got any. He didn't care about the opinions others had of him. That came with territory. He didn't bother with the system to ask stupid questions. He already knew that he wasn't in Japan and even worse he was on the hunt.

Nineteen and hot headed, he had no interest in anyone's personal lives and it showed on his face. There was no time for idle chit-chat when he had his own agenda. Any monsters in his way were faced with a very angry fire Alter user.

"Who's in charge?" He shouted out.

Ryuho opened his eyes in alarm. "Do you need medical attention?" He was halfway to simply going to call for it anyway. Although it seemed odd that it would be physical pain, his own arms had been healed when he arrived.

The psychological pain was all in his head than physical. It was making him lightheaded from the trauma. He looked up slowly toward Ryuho.

"They're not going to help me. Why would they?"

"They took the time to take you here. Did you bother reading the letters?" He didn't approach, but he was ready to help if he needed to.

"What letters?" Sou looked up at Ryuho with confusion. He wasn't told anything about the letters. It was as if no one cared enough to mention anything to him which really made him feel more like an outsider than a resident.

"They would have been there when you woke up. Did you look?"

"No." He felt incredibly stupid for not taking the time to look when he was in such a terrible mental state. He didn't really give much thought to anything since his awakening and how off center he felt both mentally and physically.

"I cannot promise the truth of any of it, but the letters state that our worlds have been destroyed, and that we are survivors taken here to rebuild some sort of civilization."

That information alone jarred and shocked Sou to the point that he had nothing to say. His dark blue eyes were wide, laced in fear that skirted on the edge of insanity once again. "Why would they pick me?" He sure as hell wouldn't have picked himself.

"I have no way of knowing." Partly because he didn't have any information on why the Tower chose people, and partly because he didn't remember much of anything about Sou.

Sou gave a scoff. He didn't have any way of knowing either and just that was enough to make him stop his rampage. If he could manage to stay sane enough to find the truth, he might have another chance to life without the fear of death clinging on his back.

He looked to Ryuho again and slowly stood up. "You really don't? What do you expect of me, then?"

[OOC: Just thought I let you know that you're on the warning list to be cut from the game if you don't respond to activity. Here's the link to the list. All you need is to show a link to a thread that has at least 10 comments to pass.]

"I don't expect anything of you. I was simply relaying the information. We all seem to be prisoners here." He explained this all in a monotone voice, although his face betrayed worry.

[ooc: Agh! Thank you.]

His brow showed the storm of mixed emotions that was hiding behind his eyes. He looked around to allow the reality to settle before he looked back to Ryuho. He didn't know what to say as he slowly stepped by the taller man in lumbering steps. His feet felt heavy and unsure. It was as if each step was testing the ground beneath him, testing to make sure that it was real.

"Yes...prisoners...we're all prisoners." He softly spoke in a breathy tone.

"So it seems. It may be that our world is really gone, but I have no reason to believe that yet." He admitted. He really didn't want to believe it.

"I don't know...I'm used to having it all and now I have nothing." Sou laughed darkly. He could easily crush anyone but for some reason, he was holding back. He was searching for a new path to follow now that he has no future back in his time and world. He didn't even know if they came from the same reality.

"What was it like for you when you were wondering the wilderness?" He was genuinely curious, genuinely civil.

"That is the case for many of the people here." Without a work to connect experiences to, many of the people in this place were seeking a place to be, at least as far as he'd been able to see.

He blinked, but at least this was something he remembered. "I was hungry and dirty most of the time. I'm missing some time. Elian says I was gone for eight months, but my hair is still short. I only remember a week or two before I was taken up by the slavers."

"You mean, the HOLY Eye? That's...weird. I didn't think they used that operating system here!" He looked at the terminals and cringed. "I'm not touching that thing!"

He then whips around to regard Ryuho again. "You were picked up by slavers? Huh, that's new. I guess that would stand the reason if you said that you were starving."

"That name isn't familiar to me." Althugh that could be Elian. He didn't know for certain, but it sounded like Sou was referring to a computer system and not a person.

"Yes. At first they were simply promising work, but it was obvious when we reached the settlement."

It was then that Sou's apathy toward humans became abundantly clear. "Disgusting. That's why I hate them." His face held the sneer that depicts his hatred. "They're like a virus. They spread like some disease, consuming everything it their path like locusts. They even devour their own kind through subjugation."

"Virus' and locusts at the same time?" Ryuho asked, deadpan, not liking where that train of thought was going.

"Th-they're just disgusting, okay?!" He was really agitated and it wasn't from Ryuho's expression or response. It was being in such a close proximity to them now that he can't stand them.

"Do you mean all humans, or just yourself?"

That made him stop for a moment and look at Ryuho as if he lost his mind. Sou was already gone. Then it clicked violently.

"I'M NOT A PARASITE!" His body glowed with the prismatic light once again only this time the heat wasn't focused on just one area. It was everywhere and it was oppressing like the deserts themselves opened up.

Ryuho moved forward instead of away, moving to try to pin him to stop him from using the alter.

The push was fast enough to break Sou's concentration. The unformed, chaotic Alter vanished. His head hit the floor which jarred him from being able to use it anymore. The heat dissipated quickly and he's now pinned, unable to move.

"Let go of me!" He was thrashing about like a child pinned under his mother's grip to settle the wildness down. "They'll keep killing us all if we let them! DON'T YOU SEE?! They'll hunt us all!"

"Who are you even talking about?" Ryuho demanded, moving to try to keep him pinned down where he was.
