Fourteenth Staff ♞ resumption after a weak cadence
Characters: Sayaka and your name here.
Setting: You can interrupt her when she's still in room 1-05, some vaguely-located part of the staircase,
Format: Prose is my preference, but I will match you.
Summary: Backdated to the morning of the tenth. Sayaka's back from her destroyed world, woke up in costume - and is pretty much sick of the tower's bullshit.
Warnings: Angry teenagers trying to ignore recent traumatic experiences. Also, she's currently dressed up like a spitting image of Ruana in her red-and-black outfit from week 3 from infighting, so that's fun/might lead to a flinch-worthy moment or two.
She'd never gone 'back' before.
Sayaka had heard enough about what it was like, she'd looked through those viewfinders on floor five before - but knowing or distantly seeing (and immediately dismissing) isn't the same as living.
Now that she's back in her room in the tower, rather than the desiccated wreck of her room at home... she turns her head every which-way, drinking in the uniform sterility that pervades every floor, and the not-so-much uniform personal touches brought about by her and her roommates from the long months of residence. It looks like they gained a fourth person in the room while she was gone.
How long was she gone? She's never had any particular skill at gauging long amounts of time, though she's pretty sure time spent, uh, outside the tower works on the same linear scale as time in it.
When she actually stands up to leave, Sayaka half expects something from under the bed to snatch at her ankles - that was what happened the last morning before she'd... disappeared, right? - but nothing does. Well, that's progress.
Then her overwhelming disorientation fades enough to realizes there's blond hair hanging in her face.
"...What's with this outfit...?"
When she pulls on the new hair, she realizes it feels distinctly fake (like a wig?) but that it won't come off.
..Typical, really. It's not long after that she finds the pumpkin, and it's with an air of exasperation that Sayaka greets the rest of the tower, to hunt...
...candies. This is just so stupid, and it's impossible for it not to have some deeper 'awful twist' - but really, why - should - she - care?!
Storming down stairs two at a time, Sayaka nearly just kicks the first piece she finds rather than pick it up. This is so dumb, and it doesn't even matter. She's done this song and dance. Strange things happen, then it gets worse, then people die - then they're back! Then it all just happens again!
"Don't they ever get bored?!"
Similar grumblings can be heard as she descends the floors of the tower, not terribly trying too hard to look for candy - but as it's currently in ample amounts and it's early in the day, she's ~pretty darn unconcerned~.
And Sayaka became a real Yolo that day.

"..The note pretty much said it, right? Get candy, don't receive any 'or else?' - Oh."
Sayaka smiles.
"You mean the costumes."
no subject
Just gonna sarcastically gesture at the LACK OF CLOTHING he has going on. Sayak, you will never see this much of his skin ever again. He SLEEPS in more than this. In 99 degree weather. With fuzzy otters.
This is not okay.
"I can gather that this is yet another holiday of some sort, but as far as I am able to deduce, it's stupid otherwise." h m p h
no subject
Okay get ready for some exposition, 'cuz you asked for it.
"It's called 'Halloween.' I don't remember the justification for it, but it's a Western holiday so whatever, I have enough trouble with keeping all ours straight."
Flippant hand wave!
"..But it's supposed to be at the end of the month. Anyway, people wear costumes then go bug their neighbors for candy, and there's lots of pumpkins and really goofy ~spooooky~ decorations."
no subject
NOT EVEN GONNA DISCUSS THE BATHROBE THING HE IS SO DONE WITH THIS and shifting the outfit to see if it can magically cover more- oh she was describing the holiday.
"...that seems rather childish." #quality childhoods right here
However, Jay didn't bother to go in to any further detail, mulling the information over, assuming the
Uratarosthinking position while pacing."What would they stand to gain from this, then? Simple amusement?"
no subject
Sayaka simply watches him pace for a bit, but gets bored while he's still mulling and starts counting his steps under her breath. It takes up to fifteen for her to reply:
"..well, the admins have patterns. And there's just one in charge every normal month. Right before this was Jason, and on day 1 of that we figured out it was him, so we had a good idea what to expect... If we know who it is this time, that would help."
no subject
"So, someone who likes to play games. Who are the admins? Perhaps we can at least narrow it down, as it's doubtful that Jason would be in charge yet again."
no subject
Sayaka's smile turns forced, nearly all teeth.
"Sounds most like Ruana's kind of shebang. I don't remember how much I told you about her, but I'm cutting a pretty dashing imitation of her right now."
no subject
"That would explain the wig, I'm assuming." He had wondered what the hell she was wearing, especially since his costume was so obvious. "So we have one who obfuscates kindness, an unknown variable, and Jason who I am by now familiar with...and this Ruana."
Wow, if they just mixed Dax and Riki together, it'd sound like the three generals all over again. Crazy chick, dice-happy crazy guy
who sucks at being a ninja, and the mysterious guy that turns out to be a 'redeemable' figure. How boring."Kind of conceited of her to give you that costume. I'm going to assume you two have more personal history than most?"
no subject
Said completely honestly.
"Jin's rocking the mad scientist look, so.. Maybe there's a whole set of admin-alikes?"
no subject
"Just another day for you, then? My, the life you must lead normally."
Whatever, he will...deal with that later.
"What do the other admins look like? It might be fun to play 'spot the doppelganger'."
