Characters: Lion Ushiromiya and you!
Setting: Room 2-18, Cafeteria
Format: Starting out with action, but I'm willing to respond to either.
Summary: The tower has just gained one (1) androgynous blond person.
Warnings: None so far.


[Lion already knows the feeling of waking up somewhere unfamiliar, and it isn't a welcome one. Once the paralysis wears off, he manages to sit upright, somewhat slowly and warily and still a little groggy.

...well, he seems to be alive, at least. At least there aren't hundreds of black cats chewing on him and Will like he'd thought there would be...

Wait. Will. Where is he?

As soon as Lion realizes that Will isn't here, he immediately seems more alarmed.] Will...?


[Eventually Lion has to go through the whole first meal thing with the oatmeal, and as soon as he takes a bite and swallows it he groans quietly and rubs his forehead. Just when he thought things couldn't get any weirder at home, he's been brought to a tower where there are supposedly monsters lurking around. Great.]

I wish I couldn't think too hard about all this... [Since Lion is probably going to get a headache.]

[restitchtime]

Good luck with that. The fact you can think about this shit at all isn't a good indication you'll be able to stop anytime soon.

[man, sometimes she just can't help but deliver some good-natured snark when the moment calls for it, strangers be damned.]

[beamiracle]

[Luckily Lion is used to snark by now.] It's not so much that I want to stop thinking altogether. I was just hoping I wouldn't be thrown into another situation involving waking up in a place where your life is in danger. It isn't something I really want to think about again.

[restitchtime]

Surprise! The universe is still flipping you off regardless of whatever you want. Welcome to the club, the letterman jackets are still in the mail but they should get here soon.

[beamiracle]

So it's not just the universe I'm from, then? That's good to know.

[restitchtime]

Probably not. I haven't exactly canvassed the entire goddamn tower for statistics, but my universe and all its bastard alternate iterations are practically drowning in bullshittery.

[beamiracle]

All of them? [Hmm.] Are you sure about that?

[restitchtime]

All the ones I've seen so far. [she shrugs] It's kind of inevitable, although sometimes it can get a little fucking ridiculous.

[beamiracle]

Is that so...

Well, you never know, right? There could be a universe where things aren't so unfortunate. It's probably just hard to find.

[restitchtime]

It doesn't really matter if the universe thought a happy ending somewhere was a nice fucking joke for the rest of us. Whenever I get out of this shithole I'm just going to make a good one myself.

[beamiracle]

I'm hoping to do the same thing myself.

[restitchtime]

Yeah? Hope you won't have to wade through as much bullshit as I will to get it done.

[beamiracle]

I'll probably have to wade through an entire sea. [A sea of countless worlds, with only one in two million being Lion's.] But at least I won't be alone.

[restitchtime]

Sometimes alone's a hell of a lot better when your only options for company are about as smart as a bag of rocks. [although that isn't the real reason she doesn't want her friends' help when it comes to restructuring the timeline - she wants to keep them safe.]

[beamiracle]

Well, my companion can be rather blunt sometimes, but he's better than nobody. [Plus, Lion can deal with that. By pinching his butt to shut him up.]

[restitchtime]

Watch what you say or you might be stuck with him forever. [you know, like what happened to Rose when the world ended]

[beamiracle]

I think we already were, even before we got into this mess.

[restitchtime]

Guess shitty luck runs deep in the veins of universal constants, then. At least you only got saddled with one asshole to look after.

[beamiracle]

He's not like that very often.

So am I to assume that you got saddled with several people?

[restitchtime]

Three. And they're all absolutely fucking impossible in different ways so I can't even have that be simple.

[beamiracle]

Ah, I know what that's like. Some of my relatives are hard to get along with at times.

[restitchtime]

Sometimes you really just can't win, can you? It's always the worst situations where you end up trapped with a bunch of dipshits.

[beamiracle]

Perhaps, but if they're your family, you learn how to deal with their personalities after a while.

[restitchtime]

They're not my family, they're just the only other people left alive in the world. [because if they were her family they'd be a completely different bundle of disgust and hatred]
