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.

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.

"Humans!" His voice practically squeaked the response while he struggled under Ryuho's grip. The fear in his eyes was very real even if the situation wasn't.

"You're human too, even if you claim otherwise."

Ryuho was starting to get the idea that this was a psychological issue that Sou had had for a very long time, but without the history he didn't know what to do except restrain him to prevent him from hurting anyone.

"Let me go!" Sou was becoming desperate in his struggle that his eyes were beginning to tear up from his internal struggle as well. He couldn't stop the fear. His voice displayed that desperation and there was nothing he could do but struggle under the better fighter's grip.

He soon wore himself out, gasping for air and desperate to live. He eventually broke down into sobs. "They killed me...and I see it. Over and over again...I see it."

Ryuho had heard that people came after their deaths, but it was still shocking to hear. "I'm sorry. I can't change what happened, but you are alive here."

Not that that was much of a comfort considering what had happened, but he didn't even remember why Sou had been killed, much less the circumstances surrounding it.

Not many people knew what happened to Sou. Some thought he simply disappeared, which wasn't that much further from the truth. The news of Sou's death only traveled as far as those that cared enough to listen. Here, it was just him.

He stopped his struggling and turned his head away from Ryuho's face. "So what? If this is supposed to be my second change, it's not much of one. We're Alter users. We're nothing more than powder kegs in a room full of lit matches."

"No, you're wrong." He knew that in his heart. Even if he had no memory of being an alter user, a power didn't have to make someone bad.

"Elian is an alter user, and he's surviving here. He has friends here, and alters aren't the only powers people have here."

If powers weren't strange, then alter users weren't especially dangerous.

His head turned to regard Ryuho. With the mention of Elian, this only confuses Sou even more. "Elian is a computer system. Why do you keep referring to it like it's a person?" Sou raised his brow. It was already weird that Ryuho was talking to him and politely at that.

"As much as I like your company, you're still sitting on me." Sou's eyes looked up at his pinned wrists. "Some might say that this is a little kinky. Look, as much as I would really like to get close to you, don't you think this is a bit much? Seriously."

"Elian is a boy, and an alter user." He answered, confused by the reference to a computer system.

Ryuho looked down at his hands and quickly let go, easily flustered at the moment. "Are you calmer now?"

"Yeah." He rubbed his wrists as he sat up. "That's quite a grip. You said he's a boy...I don't understand."

The white jumpsuit hasn't taken a stain yet from all that struggling which was pretty strange even for Sou's interests. "I'm not interested in seeing him, but I am interested in how his Alter works. Where I'm from, Elian IS a computer. It's what controls the HOLY Eye. You, my friend, were a faction leader."
