Setting: October 13th, Various times/locations
Format: Prose & Action (mixing it up a bit!)
Summary: It's time to stop moping and start being constructive. Sephiroth always has to be occupied and that gymnasium just begs to be used. Then afterward, pumpkin food, even if 2 days in it's starting to get old.
Warnings: Part 3 - Shower nudity if you're imaginative enough. (Will edit as necessary)
1)Dorm 3-02 & Hallway outside
What a weird couple of days, that was to say the least. After getting the Dormitory levels down to memory, he'd explored further afield. Not much further than a few floors around the floors serviced by the elevator but this tower seemed to be a little monster-prone so he figured to play it safe and stick close to where others would be more likely to pass through. At least for the time being, the monsters he had come across didn't seem too challenging for Masamune. There was candy everywhere though, and some of the costumes on other residents he'd spied were really bordering on disturbing. He was glad he'd not been singled out for that game.
However yesterday he'd discovered the gymnasium. If he had no other idea where to go or what to do inside the tower the very least he could do would be to keep himself in top condition for whatever challenge might be put in his way. Be prepared, certainly seemed the best bet. He intended to make the most of that facility today.
Sleeping in a dormitory with three other bodies in the room was pretty hard to get over to start with but eventually he'd nod off. Waking up and each morning so far reminding himself that the foreign object around his neck wasn't coming off was becoming something of a ritual also. What it meant, that he was somehow owned by someone, was just too much to be reminded of first off each day. Perhaps going to the gym would take his mind off of it and refocus him onto some worthwhile pursuit. He'd calmed a little since his arrival, not being so frantic in his urgency to know. It was clear he wasn't getting out anytime soon.
So, doing his best to ignore the slight chill in the air Sephiroth clad himself in pants and boots only today. He had limited clothing as it was, last thing he needed was getting sweaty in a big leather jacket that then may start to stink out their dorm. Afterward he could even drop by the showers and clean up.
Shortly after, he headed through all the similar corridors heading for the lift.
2) Floor 39 - Gymnasium
[The things to do to consume time in a gymnasium. Several laps around the track, weights, punching bag; Sephiroth may yet have found his favourite floor thus far in the Tower. Never mind some of the weights didn't have labels or were way too heavy for what they looked like - it seemed stupid to just pick up without testing first. Same with the machines that looked broken; just don't go near them. And so Sephiroth can be found being constructive in keeping himself fit, pushing his own limits or maybe just laying into the punching bag. In his own world though he's too aware of his own surroundings not to notice other people that might be there.]
3) Later back to Dorm Level 3 - Clean Up
That sure felt good. There was nothing like a good workout to get those endorphins pulsing and even the fine sheen of freshly worked up sweat felt refreshing. Thoughts that had plagued Sephiroth for the last couple of days concerning the Tower and his predicament were suitably all punched, pumped or ran out of their immediate need to be resolved. Maybe he'd be able to see more of the forest now, instead of the trees. To a certain extent the violet collar had been forgotten, though he still was aware of its presence; sometimes he'd brush it with a hand or he would move a certain way which would remind him it was there. It made him tense to think about it.
There was only one thing left to do: clean up. Sephiroth found it strange that a fully stocked gymnasium didn't have showers included but he did know where there were some. Thankfully the dorm levels were indeed equipped with necessary amenities. He could even hang the leather pants inside out to air over the side of the stand he was using. Hot water over skin and through long silver hair was just the thing needed right now, though perhaps he wouldn't stay as long as he felt like under the water. The sound of the shower could too easily mask anything else that might be going on, and he didn't like the idea of being caught with his guard down now. Paranoid much? Maybe but there was some weird sh*t going on around this Tower right now, with costumes and candy and not to mention the rather strange other residents he'd met so far.
4) Floor 1 Cafeteria: Dinnertime
Having realized that the monsters can be more active towards the late hours of the day, Sephiroth had returned to the dorm and fully suited up with jacket and armor before he'd ventured down for food. For dinner in the Cafeteria it's pumpkin bread and water. Second day of pumpkin-based menu. At least it wasn't that damn oatmeal he'd experienced on that first day. That being said, was this all they were going to ever eat? Pumpkin wasn't particularly repulsive to eat and the bread option mixed the taste up a little but how many more days would it be before there would be another choice on the menu. He knew of the restaurant he could go to instead but he wasn't sure he knew the Tower well enough yet to go foraging in exchange for food.
Sephiroth would always try to sit on his own at a table in a position which no one could get behind him without him knowing about it, and somewhere he could see the doors. The costumed residents just confused him, so he'd try to avoid them mostly as well.
