02 ◈ furuderika bernkastel

Characters: Rika Furude & You!
Setting: Around the tower-- 15 & 17-20th
Format: I will match you!
Summary: Rika struggles to collect candies and ultimately dies. Then comes back as mini'Bernkastel to be a sadistic meanie.
Warnings: Bernkastel-ness... Violence, cruelty, and a sick sense of fun


15th : Around the Tower / Ending on Floor 22
Rika had been forced to wear many humiliating costumes in her lifetimes. Maids, kitty girls, just her swimsuit... but none were as awful as this. Dressed as Bernkastel, the witch she did not like being associated with, was among the worst of the fates she could have endured. It was annoying enough to have to collect various candies in order to stay alive without the burden of the costume.

The fifteenth started a harder routine for candy hunting. Rika was not a girl with the physical strength or abilities required to fight monsters, which left her competing for what else remained. Her status as a newbie made many parts of the tower unfamiliar to her and she was more out of her comfort zone than ever. As her fruitless search brought her to the twenty-second floor's art gallery, Rika decided she had had enough for the time being. She let her eyes wander to the paintings, drinking in their details rather than scouring the gallery for candy.

17 - 20th : Around the Tower / Floor Thirty-Eight
(( ! Please specify a date! Rika will be becoming increasingly sadistic as the days go by. She will only verbally taunt on the 17th, but will become increasingly cruel and violent as days go by. ! ))
On the 15th of October, Furude Rika died.
She'd expected it. She wasn't cut out for competition as Furude Rika. Her human body was aged, but it was weak. Easily killed. Not built to fight. Just to die.
But now things were different.
When Rika woke up she saw no reason to go on pretending. There was no reason to hide her true nature behind the mask of the girl called "Furude Rika". The sparkle in her eyes had dimmed and faded. She had a single cat's tail and an elegant dress, more detailed and exact than the replica of her previous costume. And it was no longer a costume. She was not "dressing up" as Bernkastel. She was Bernkastel.

And she is behaving appropriately. If you don't find her on the thirty-eighth floor, watching people pass by with a blank expression, then you may find her collecting candy. Sure, she doesn't need any of it herself... but that doesn't mean she won't benefit from collecting it. The sooner and more obvious the shortage is, the more interesting the struggle to survive will become. And despite her dislike of such things as Furude Rika, Bernkastel has no problem with it. Truth be told, she is actually looking forward to seeing more people suffocate in their costumes.

Satoko shaken her head. "Naw, they would have to do a better job to get me to wear something like those," Satoko smiled. She looked at the candy Rika unwrapped, "where did you get that?"

Satoko caught it in mid-air. She had no suspicion at all from her best friend, why would she considered the thought of it now? Satoko happily accepted it as she began to unwrap the candy and pushed it in her mouth. As she enjoyed the flavor, Satoko looked up, "they probably don't enjoy my company." When Rika mentioned the game, that perked Satoko's curiosity, "what kind of game?"
