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.]

You-- .. you as the successor?! Why would that old gramps decide that all of a sudden?! [ She's practically huffing now, but despite the childishness about it, there's something more omnious about her rage too, especially when she starts shouting. ]

But I was the one who got chosen as the new head! It's me, it's me..! I solved the epitaph!

[beamiracle]

His moods change more often than the sky in fall. Only he can say why he makes the decisions he does. [Yeah, there are a lot of alarm bells going off in Lion's head now. He flinches slightly at the sudden volume in her voice, but he still doesn't budge.]

And there is no epitaph in my world, as it happens.

[blackwitch]

So you think you can just own the right to be the next Head like that, without having to do anything?! [ she can't tell if this person is a guy or a girl, actually, but.. she's just assuming a guy, there's no way Kinzo would give that right to a girl after all, right? ] Only someone who's worked hard to earn the right should have it! And that's no one but me! compared to me, they might as well go give up and die!!

[beamiracle]

Just because the headship was given to me doesn't mean I haven't worked hard to earn it, EVA-Beatrice-san. Even if it is hard work to get the title, you still can't stop working once you have it. Giving up and dying isn't an option for me.

[blackwitch]

[ .. What is.. this person.. she grits her teeth - just the very idea of someone else having gotten the title of head is so unbearable to her, just like when battler had said it in this place. ]

T-.. there's no way you've ever worked as hard as me!

[beamiracle]

I'm not saying I have...but we can still reach a sort of compromise, can't we? You got the headship in your fragment, and I got it in mine. So technically we're both the head, right? [Yeah, just trying to be rational about this...]

[blackwitch]

.. That's right. But..

[ oops, here comes the crazy that isn't just fully powered by anger alone.. ]

I could easily just kill you here and make me the only head, riiiight..?

[beamiracle]

[Oh. Um. That's not good.] And how would that accomplish anything...?

lion has too many feelings.. (and by feelings i mean icons)

[blackwitch]

What doesn't killing accomplish? [ ah, apparently another batshit logic train incoming here. ]

If anything, I'll have fun! Wouldn't it be great to think up a truly fitting way for that gramps' precious successor to die..?!

man, you need like a billion icons to play most seacats

[beamiracle]

You'll have fun, but I won't. It isn't really fun if only one person is enjoying themselves.

i know, i have 3 ange accounts full of them and then this one is like 15 and i'm like NO WHY

[blackwitch]

... Then what's your boring definition of fun?

[ Because excuse you, Lion, but she thinks her being the only one who's having fun is plenty fun!! ]

it's okay, jelle, you can make it....

[beamiracle]

Well, for starters, fun means that I'm actually enjoying someone else's company. You can't exactly do that when they're threatening to kill you.

i will slowly trudge along...!!

[blackwitch]

[ .. oh, wait, now she gets it - so she just laughs. ]

But this isn't about whether it's fun for you, right? It's about me having fun, that's all there is..!
