towerofanimus | Desperate to rescue

Characters: Enoch and anyone, particularly those who got a monster under their bed and want help. Or he can just burst into your dorm for no reason.
Setting: Dorm floors, various dorm rooms
Format: I'm starting prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: Enoch tried to protect the people who wished violence on Jason. It didn't work. And now he's rushing to see if they're all right...
Warnings: Violence? There will be monsters...

I'm sorry, but we cannot fulfill your request at this time.

There's a moment of numb terror before he drops the note he assumes to be from Riki on the bed, and no more than a second later there's the slap of his sandals against the floor. His Arch is snatched from its place against his nightstand and soon the sound of sandals on the floor becomes one of armored boots, light gathering around him on his way out the door as he summons his armor.

It's been a little while since that post and so much has happened, so he can't remember who was in on it - using the network to find them isn't reliable if they need immediate help!

If he doesn't hear anything from the halls, he'll be bursting into random dorm rooms, trying desperately to see if the people in on that scheme are all right.

*And of course it's someone who couldn't have even known about the scheme. Maybe she's seen or heard something strange.*

Last month, many of the tower's younger residents planned to all submit requests that Jason be punished. I was afraid they'd face punishment, themselves, so I requested they not...

*He shakes his head. And his request was explicitly denied. It meant punishment was definitely happening.* Have you heard or seen anything?

Why would any of them think that to be a good idea?

[ Nunnally hasn't been here for long, but from what she's been able to confirm, she knows that threatening Jason's well being was sure to have consequences. ]

Besides you, I haven't seen anyone at all today. I woke up late and my roommates have already all left for their own business.

[ In actuality, that wasn't quite true. She thought she heard scuffling noises around the rooms, but since she was half-asleep, she chalked it up to fear of these so-called monsters. ]

Many people act rashly at that age.

*He shoots a worried glance back out into the hallway.*

I received a response, telling me my request couldn't be fulfilled. I know something must have happened... *If she hasn't seen anything...* You haven't heard anything, have you?

[ Not that Nunnally knows anything about that. Most of her interactions with people her age involve drinking in a room and dressing up like cats. ]

I thought I did, but it's hard to say. I've never heard noises like it before. [ Turning up her chin contemplatively. ] Like large rats..? I'm not sure if pests are a problem here however.

I haven't seen any monsters like rats, but...monsters don't normally come to these levels during the daytime.

*Oh no... The admin didn't send monsters into the rooms themselves, did they?*

...Could you tell where you heard them?

I'm sorry, but it's hard to say where I would have heard them.

[ Admittedly she had been frightened a bit and with the dark around her... ] Um, if I had to say so, it would have been in the rooms below and above.

Below and above... Thank you. I'm sorry for intruding so suddenly, but...you may well have saved lives, if it helps me find them before anything can harm them.

*Whatever saving lives is worth here.*

That's alright. I don't mind it if it's to help others.

[ She gives a nod to encourage him. ] Please don't let me keep you here.
