[The joy of pet ownership. He went looking for a certain someone before doing anything else when he arrived, which is coming back to bite him. Literally--as soon as he opens his trunk, all hell lets loose. Whatever the process of packing the trunk and moving it to the room entailed, the fairly big gray cat inside didn't enjoy it, nor is she okay with it taking him probably an hour or two to rescue her. His clothes she was sitting on are partially shredded, still wearable if only because the fabric is tough.

He tries to coax her off whatever the highest surface in the room is, to much hissing and sulking.]

Diana. Come on. I'll make it up to you.

[Normally he'd let her tantrum herself out, but he has roommates now, it seems. It'll be his fault if she ruins anything that's not his. Including limbs.]



[Later...

Hm. Free fish. And they're technically within his reach, although he's tried just sticking an arm in and grabbing one and it went about as well as you'd expect. This is a conundrum; Will has no idea how to fish. It's not like he has the equipment for doing so conventionally. He's also not sure that's physically possible. He's sure as hell not getting in there and taking a swim.

He's slowly coming around to the opinion that being here is mildly annoying.]

[Sup have a Bern leaning against a wall in her getup for this dumb Halloween shit. Said getup being a black latex catwoman suit. We are so sorry for the damage it may do to Will's eyes.]

Something's going to take your hand off.

[buttsinattheend]

[Oh, goddammit, she's here after all.]

...

What are you wearing?

[wittlich]

Ask the tower admins. I woke up with it on.

[buttsinattheend]

Looks uncomfortable. I guess it must line up with your interests.

[Yeah he's gonna go ahead and have this whole conversation from a distance.]

Here to try and kill me again?

[wittlich]

[She shrugs at his first comment.] Why don't you ask Lambda her opinion? [Juuuuust to add that extra layer of awkward.]

Not at the moment.

[buttsinattheend]

[Dropping that line of conversation like it's hot.]

Good. One cat out for my blood today is enough.

Floor 10

[stalemates]

[Just like Bern, have Lambda...in a Lambchop costume. You know, the puppet? Something like this.

She's peeking at Will, because while she doesn't know of his involvement with the games, she does know who he is. Could he be here for a witch hunt? No, that can't be possible if she can't use her powers to leave the tower, no one should be able to get in either...]

[buttsinattheend]

[If she doesn't want to be noticed just yet, she's out of luck. Will's old job made him fairly hard to sneak up on because Inquisitors are basically Batman?.]

Seriously, you two can't explore your hobbies in private?

floor 10

[blackwitch]

[ At least this witch doesn't look ridiculous, that's a start, isn't it.. Not that she knows who Will is, but she just saw the whole catching fish fail, and hey, wherever there's schadenfreude to be had, there's Evatrice. ]

Wha-t? Did you really think that'd work..?

[stalemates]

[Stop it Will, you're not Eva.

She jumps a bit at being spoken to - she should have known he would notice her so easily.]

Ack-!! I'm not doing anything strange, what's that for?!

floor 10

[alienstookmyburgers]

[ Now it was rare for him to venture int some of the lower floors when he was exploring, but, a change in pace was good for one's spiritual energies. And he felt a disturbance on this specific floor.

One could almost say....something fishy.

Not that he paid much attention to the aquarium, despite it being large, and sort of in his face. No, he didn't pay much attention until he noticed a man, perplexed expression on his face, looking like he wasn't sure what to do.

Oh no.

Was he going to jump!? And sleep with the fishes?!

He had to stop him! Hagakure ran forward, a worried expression on his face. ]

Don't do it! You have a lot to live for, yeah?

moar feesh floor

[restitchtime]

[...what is with the people in this tower and sticking their hands where they obviously shouldn't? Rose can't help but wonder if she's going to end up the appointed aquarium monitor at this rate]

Please tell me that sometimes you're smart enough not to stick your hands into foreign objects. The last thing this place needs is more fucking dipshits.

[titties]

[ Battler watches him for a moment before chuckling a bit. But, what's with this guy, anyways... ]

You could jump in, you know. They might be wa~ay easier to catch like that!

[justiceerror]

Hoh....?

[Battler merely watches him attempt to catch a fish.]

Going fishing?

[buttsinattheend]

Right. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

[Staaaaaare.]

[buttsinattheend]

No. Didn't think it'd cost me anything to try, but I guess it attracted a crowd.

[He's three for three on infamous witches today. This seems like an incredibly ominous streak.]

[buttsinattheend]

Calm down. If I were in the mood to drown myself, I'd like to think I could come up with something easier.

[Because that's the important bit of confusion to clear up.]

[buttsinattheend]

It's water.

[Water that's not necessarily following all the laws of physics right now, but he's seen weirder, why make a fuss.]

[buttsinattheend]

[Huh. Even Battler's here. Will hasn't actually met him before, but.]

Sorry, don't wanna get my only change of clothes wet. Why don't you? You've always struck me as a good samaritan.

[buttsinattheend]

[Well, now things are getting kind of odd. It's obviously a different Battler, but Will doesn't feel like asking any direct questions. Or maybe you could say it's more of an instinct not to.]

No, I was thinking about going for a swim.

[restitchtime]

Very good! I'm so fucking glad you still know what water is. [she drops the facetiously cheery voice] Too bad the revelation didn't extend to what's in the water.

[buttsinattheend]

Alright, so the fish are dangerous. I didn't know that. Don't get so angry over nothing, you'll get a headache.

[restitchtime]

If I was angry I'd have kept my mouth shut and waited for one of the sharks to switch tanks and take your arm off with it. At this point I'm just surprised at how goddamn stupid people can be around here when it comes to common sense.

[buttsinattheend]

Maybe you'd prefer the term "worked up." My hand was in the water for three seconds.

[restitchtime]

Three seconds is more than enough time for this hellhole. It's more the principle of the matter anyway; I mean, fuck, do you really just go sticking your hands into shit that doesn't make sense to you?
