♟ 001 ♟ In the Tower With Kariya
Characters: Kariya and OPEN
Setting: various
Format: either
Summary: Kariya's arrival in the Tower
Warnings: blood, possible body horror
Dormitories:
It's confusing, arriving here. This place, the letters, they're alarming. How could the world be destroyed? Where's Sakura? Where's Aoi? Kariya's heartbeat is accelerated, his breathing harsh and quick. His own agitation agitates the worms within him. In this state, it's difficult for him to walk, let alone make his way through an entirely new, strange environment, but he does his best. At times, he staggers and coughs, or stumbles to one side, disoriented. He has to pause to rest, more than once. Blood flecks his lips, gathering at the corners of his mouth and sliding down over his chin.
"Berserker, Berserker..." He calls out now and then as he goes, but no one comes to his call.
Cafeteria:
He managed to make his way down to the cafeteria. Sitting at the table, he gazes down at his oatmeal he was given, mournfully. He's not very hungry. He tries to eat it, but even just the plain oatmeal is difficult for him to choke down. It takes him a few tries, but he takes his time. When he pauses to cough, he wipes up the scattered bits of oatmeal flecking the table, a little embarrassed.
Infirmary:
The medical facility looks promising, but Kariya isn't sure if they have anything there he can use. He doesn't know if there's any medicine in existence that can help him. He'd like to try, but he doesn't want to risk disturbing the worms further. It's hard to say how they'll react to any stimulus. Much of his life has become a matter of worm management. He walks in slowly, quietly. "Hello, is anyone here?"
Meadow:
After wandering restlessly, at last Kariya settles himself, all but spent, exhausted from his wandering. He sinks down among the flowers with a sigh. When he focuses his gaze on the blooms, he feels more content, calmer than he was before. The flowers are lovely and fragrant, the petals soft and colorful. He just wants to rest a little while...

no subject
I'm fine. [He feels he should offer some explanation.] I'll be fine. I'm looking for someone.
[It's true. He wants to find Berserker. Or Sakura. Or anyone familiar in this strange place.
Sorry about the late response. School ate me alive.
Yeah. Sure. You're fine. That's why you're coughing up a lung.
No worries, not a problem!
I'm not--
[But of course, luck being with Kariya, he starts to cough even as he protests, the sound thick and wet, with blood behind it. He puts a hand up to his mouth, then takes a moment to breathe deeply and recover himself.]
I'm not fine. But it's all right. I have to--I can't slow down.
[He's confused and frightened, and he wants something to make sense.]
no subject
And what's going to happen when you keel over dead?
no subject
I'm not going to die yet.
[At least, not unless something unexpected happens. Especially without Berserker draining his energy.]
I have more time. I can't think about that now. [He coughs again, breathes again. He doesn't start moving again. It is true that he doesn't have to push himself so hard. He doesn't even know where he's going, does he?] Do you know where this leads? [He nods down the corridor.]
