The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

Characters: Everyone interested in getting back into their body
Setting: 9/18, after this post (may be extended to following days)
Format: Action, prose, whatever you'd like to go with!
Summary: Dax Is A Bro and left a clue. Now it's up to the Tower residence to unite and figure it out.
Warnings: None as of yet, will be adapted as needed.

[After making that post - the first he is aware of - Riku just sighs (one that turns into a cough all of sudden... don't tell him he's coming down with something on top of everything else?!).

There is really no telling how many people will follow his call out, but hopefully there will be some at least. And hopefully they will have more idea what this clue means than he does.

He turns his seat towards the entrance of the floor. Time to see who would turn up.]

[ Sitting up weakly with askew legs underneath her form, she gives a nod. ]

I don't know what happened, brother, but I've been stuck in this body for an entire day now!

Nunnally... [He had seen her stumble though he couldn't see very well and heard her words, even though they were a bit muffled and it was enough to break him out of his thoughts. Well... his attempts at not thinking, of ignoring the voice inside his head. He knew Lelouch had been swapped, but hadn't yet been able to find actual Lelouch... But this person in Lelouch's body might be a threat to Nunnally.

He reached her side.] It's me, Suzaku... are you hurt?

[...oh. It's Suzaku in Jin's body. Well, this is awkward since he'd been playing Halo with Jin yesterday. But right now, his voice twin's sister was his main concern. After all, he'd promised to look after--]

Sorry... I'm not Lelouch, just someone who helped him face himself.

[There, was that a hint strong enough? Looking "Jin" in the eyes on that one. ...He doesn't mean any harm, guys.]

Suzaku? [ Her voice picks up slightly at the familiar name, but her gaze never once leaves her "brother's" form. No, he was definitely the center of her world even now. ] No, I'm fine really.

[ Instinctively, her hands go to her knees to hide the evidence of scrapes and freshly formed bruises; seems this may not be the first time she's taken a tumble. ]

And you... you're not my brother? [ Her eyes widen at the thought of her brother running around in the body of another. Gazing around the area quickly, she tries to wager a guess as to just which strange may be him, horrified at not being able to tell. Forcing herself to take in deep breaths, she calms down just enough to ask a logical question. ] If this is happening to a lot of people here, then we should find the person who's been forced inside of...

[ Her body. Forced is the only way to put it because who'd want to be burdened with her troubles? Lowering her gaze, she can't bring herself to finish the statement, leaving it instead up to the other two to determine just what she means. ]

[Suzaku reaches out to take her hand to calm her, instinctively even though his last memory of her before this tower was her hating him. She didn't anymore and Suzaku was glad of that. Even though he felt he didn't deserve her forgiveness he was glad it would enable him to help her.

He had an idea of who this might be inside of Lelouch, who Lelouch might be.] Yu?

[He turned back to Nunnally] I am sure they will be around somewhere.

[Yu does the same with her other hand, not really understanding why ~~though he likely will in a few days... damn it, Jason~~. He hates this, seeing any of them like this (especially friends- both his and Lelouch's family what the hell, self). She reminded him of someone else, though... that much was certain. It definitely enabled him to help them more.

He nods once, before pointing out his own body in the crowd even though it was some sick form of deja vu.]

Right. And he's here, too.

[Thank you, 'protect everyone' order that someone has to follow.]

[ At first she's completely surprised at her "brother's" touch, almost reluctant to accept the gesture. Everything between them thus far has been strained at best and to have any kind of close contact was invasive. The feeling passes within seconds of his hold though, as the tension begins to leave her form. It feels the same even though there were different bodies and people involved in the mix, but Nunnally falls into a state of relaxation through touch alone. ]

He's here..? [ She turns to look in the direction of his finger before turning back to face them. ] Please don't bother him with this problem. I intend to fix it on my own, so please.

[ The strain between the two siblings must be obvious just by how quick she is to try to take up her own burdens. Especially since she's able to right now; with legs that work (although poorly due to her own knowledge), she can handle most things or so she thinks. ]

Will this kind of occurrence be common? I'm not sure if I should write up a guide for the future.

[Suzaku noticed, he wasn't sure what was going on between Lelouch and Nunnally but... they had argued, they were on oposite sides of the war as far as Suzaku knew. He supposed he had hoped that they had... made up... before Zero Requiem was complete.

But that had never been part of the plan. The idea was that everyone hated them, everyone thought they were evil...

Nunnally included.] I wont... if you don't wish him to know...

[A betrayal maybe, but Lelouch had told Suzaku he was no longer his knight, they fought more now rather than worked together.] This has never happened before, but other things have...

[She wasn't safe here and didn't deserve this...]

[Yu noticed too, but decided not to comment on it. Lelouch had asked him to help take care of her, so at this point he... won't fail to keep that one. Still, he sighs at the thought.

'What in hell had he done to cause this- ah right, terrorism.']

You don't need to ask me.

[They aren't exactly on good terms, so... Noting the reactions and such for later reference. At least they'll hopefully be back in their own bodies soon.] ...Actually, this is rather tame from the last few things Jason's pulled.

[No one is safe, but if these feelings are right (thank all he's good at hiding them), then people like Nunnally especially don't deserve this.)

[ Other things? The way it's drawn out leaves her wondering just what other strange incidents has Suzaku had to live through here? Enduring and endearing as always, Nunnally could only long to have the same strength as he. ]

Jason.. [ Oh! ] That's one of the administrators, isn't it?

[ Briefly being told about them the day of her arrival, Nunnally's been looking for more information ever since. ]

What other things has he had a hand in?

[Suzaku nodded] It is, and the worst of them. Well... Almost the worst. [Because Ruana despite her smiles was more terrifying than the rest of them put together.]

He likes experimenting, he likes hurting us. He seems to wish to push us to the end of our endurance whether that is by changing our bodies, or forcing us to kill each other.

[It's not sugar coated, she's here now she has to live with this and she proved on Damocles that she is not a child any more. If she can kill hundreds of people with FLEIJA she can hear this.

But she still doesn't deserve to be here...]

To kill each other? [ Despite the knowledge of how one's fears and anticipations can be discovered by their body, Nunnally falls victim to it herself. Her hand in his grows clammy as her heartbeat picks up, starting to become frantic at the idea. ] I could ne--!!

[ Stopping herself short, she realizes she can't really admit to that now, can she? ]

This isn't a sanctuary for rescued victims, is it? [ Able to keep her wits about her, she forces herself to ask that. Some realities need to be faced right away and this? This was one of them. ] It's a prison, isn't it?

[Suzaku nodded, frowning at what she almost said. Because she had... He didn't want to think of Nunnally, the innocent little girl he had befriended as a murderer...

At her final words he winced and nodded, looking at Yu, hoping he had something reassuring to say.]

[Yu nodded as well, but pauses at that what she likely almost said. He could relate to that far too well, and while he doesn't voice it...

Right. Focus on reassuring the others, then what your Shadow said.]

Most view it that way, yes. Even so... [He pauses for a moment, contemplating his choice of words.] Though it may be a 'prison' to most, you at least still have each other, right?

[No matter how strained their relationships may be, it's still more than he can say.]

Still have each other..? [ Looking back towards Suzaku, she stares him down in an apprehensive manner. To think of Suzaku as her friend still; it was something she desired, but what of him? ] is that true?

[ Taking in a deep breath. ]

Do I still have you?

[Suzaku nodded at Yu, though he did pause. Because he still wasn't sure what to think of Nunnally.

She had been his first friend, he had tried to protect her most of his life, he had done so much wrong by her. But... he knew that no matter what would have happened after Zero Requiem he would always have protected her. She wouldn't have known it was him, and so it wouldn't matter that she hated him...

Except it seemed that she didn't, and they weren't in their world anymore.] Of course you have me Nunnally.

[Yu doesn't say anything to that. After all, what was there to say? He wasn't Lelouch. It would be wrong to speak for him. He was glad that Suzaku agreed with his assessment, though.]

[ If she wasn't so confused by the events of the day, she may have been overwhelmed enough to break out into tears. Instead, he'll get a smile that isn't quite her own, but the sentiment is still there. ]

I'm so happy. Thank you, thank you so much!

[He took her hand and held it tightly, he wasn't sure what to say because the voice had just got louder and though he was glad she was happy he wasn't sure he deserved her thanks.]

I'd lean in to give you a kiss, but this isn't my body and you're not in your body. [ She quickly adds on: ] It'd be rude to use someone's body like that without their permission!

[He freeze for a moment, it has after all been a long time since he had seen her and there were things he had almost forgotten about her but then he nodded] Of course, it would be very rude.
